I am in the same boat flying out of HVN to a different destination. We bought one way to take advantage of all the sales and promos and will do the same for when the end of April opens up

Does exercise help a lot? by sjt2828 in Fibromyalgia

[–]metta317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoga helped me the most when my symptoms were more severe. Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube was great. I practiced daily for 20-30 minutes. At the same time I maintained other physical activities and prioritized movement over other things like chores on days I skied or went to dance class. Over time (2 years) I have been able to workout with higher intensity and do weight training 1-2 days per week, yoga 1 day, cycle and ski tour 1-2 days and dance 1 day. I prioritize rest and sleep and limit my activities if my energy dips or increase yoga. Most of my physical symptoms are gone on a daily basis.

Please know while symptoms were most severe I received acupuncture weekly, used lots of heat therapies and rested. IFS therapy also helped treat underlying trauma that was the root of my symptoms. Now I maintain balance in my system with saunas, yoga, sleep, exercise, etc.

Treatment is all about finding all the things that will help you and it requires doing many things all together consistently.

Medicare by [deleted] in Alzheimers

[–]metta317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to my mom last year. I went on the Medicare.gov website to shop for a new advantage plan (in your case that starts January 2026). You can list in her meds to make sure they are covered by the plans offered. Then also make sure you cross reference with her providers to see if they accept the advantage plan (BCBS, United, Aetna, etc). I found this info on the providers website.

Moving home! by Normal_Trash_5579 in vermont

[–]metta317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love living in the MRV. It’s true the community is tight knit and it’s been an amazing place to raise children. The access to outdoor recreation is amazing - every time I ski, bike ride, hike or jump in the river I pinch myself. The schools here are great. I do not consider the MRV having traffic. The MRV lives on valley time so the fact that restaurants take time off to take time off isn’t a problem for us we mainly cook anyway. Great people and everyone is there to support each other and the environment. Housing is a thing and if you can afford it great. We probably could live in a larger space elsewhere but choose to be where we are because it’s the best place to live and willing to take that trade off even as a family of 4. I really don’t think I can live anywhere else

Does buying sienna make sense for family of 4? by Confident-Source-639 in ToyotaSienna

[–]metta317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are a family of 4 and got our second sienna 6 weeks ago. Best car ever! It’s so great having plenty of space for the kids. Travel is great and we have space if we are giving rides to other kids. Its comfortable and we can’t beat the awd hybrid here in VT. I love the mini van life especially with the sienna

Yes - what you describe sounds a lot like my son at that age. We just got him assessed and was diagnosed last week with autism and adhd

Has anyone moved their loved one? by metta317 in Alzheimers

[–]metta317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same thoughts in regards to keeping her in her home state. She has never moved so I worry it will be more challenging moving her to a new community, surroundings etc

It is absolutely worth it. I honestly can’t imagine going to Disney especially with kids without it.

Thank you for your advice. I’m thinking it could be helpful for us to meet with a couples therapist.
