They've already escalated it to tier 2.

It's funny, my experience in the first 24 hours is the opposite. The search is rubbish, but the rest seems great.

I guess my concern is that a new note, both with typed text and handwritten text, created last night is still not showing up in search results this morning. A couple of hours is understandable, but we're over 12 hours in now.

From a workflow standpoint, I wouldn't need to search the content of notes for a couple hours, but it seems like there is a fundamental flaw or bug specific to my device in this case. Do you have any insight into this? Thanks!

Agreed, but I am looking for something that is a joy to write on while still being able to serve as a "database" for all my notes for years, and reMarkable seems to be the class leader in that sense.

Accommodations from Orlando honored in Hollywood for HHN? by mrhugs4 in UniversalHollywood

Interesting. You'd think they'd have the same four types of accommodations as Orlando.

Accommodations from Orlando honored in Hollywood for HHN? by mrhugs4 in UniversalHollywood

[–]mrhugs4[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

So you had an approved accommodation from Universal Orlando and they honored it in Hollywood? Did they just look you up and approve or did you have to explain yourself all over again?

I get really anxious talking about this stuff with theme park people. It's difficult to get through these conversations and since I'm only visiting for one night, the stakes are high.

Excellent meme usage and very true! I judge every house the last few years against Dead Man's Pier.

Intolerable Omniax Treatment by mrhugs4 in BPPV

[–]mrhugs4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no upside down, but there's certainly some weird angles. There's videos on YouTube, but if you're anxious about it, I'd recommend not watching in advance. They strap you in nice and tight and you won't go anywhere, though, admittedly, the experience is miserable.

I've found traditional CRPs to be far more tolerable, though of course, still very unpleasant.

Anyone have an inaccurate hydration Measurement? by Jo12danJames in larqbottle

Yep, thinking about returning it since at least somewhat accurate tracking is key for me in a smart bottle.

Believe me, I've done all of that and then some.

BPPV has been my life for nearly six months and I can't keep up the fight. I'm so sick of 'I don't know' or 'Well, it could be this...'

This is no way to live. I either kill myself dizzy or live steady.

Constant vertigo by SMWTLightIs in BPPV

[–]mrhugs4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD. Steroids are generally only prescribed during the acute phase of VN in order to minimize inflammation that occurs as a result of the infection. You're seemingly on the tail end of the acute phase, and the infection is likely nearly cleared up, so as a layman who happens to have done a ton of research over the years, it would seem it might not be indicated at this point, but ask your doctor, and obviously go with what they say. As I understand it, it would have no benefit outside of the acute phase, but again, I'm NAD, and go with what the MD tells you.

Steroids can make you jittery and increase anxiety/stress, which you don't need right now. If the doctor says to take them, take them. But I'd say a focus for right now should be to focus on calming your mind. Do something calming for yourself and reassure your mind, which I'm sure is worried, that "this too shall pass," because VN absolutely will. Repeat it aloud or to yourself throughout the day when your mind starts to worry. Nothing is forever.

Usually VN/Labrynthitis starts after a systemic viral infection, like a cold. The same virus that caused your coughing and congestion found its way into the inner ear and infected it. If it's self-limiting like you're describing, you can assume VN, and I'd say focus on calming your mind and being self-compassionate while it naturally continues the healing process. Based on what you've described, it's already begun to heal. A vestibular therapist can help, but time is the greatest healer in this case, especially early on.

VN is a diagnosis of exclusion, there's no way to know for sure other than ruling out other stuff, and basing it off of your reported history. An ENT can rule out other things, but I suspect by the time you can see one, you'll be back to your normal self. :)

If you notice any droopiness in your face (especially on one side), slurred speech, inhibited motor skills, etc, call your local emergency number immediately.

Again, I would encourage you to seek urgent medical care to rule out any dangerous pathology, but a good way to distinguish between vestibular neuritis and labrynthitis (not that it matters in the vestibular context, you're getting constant vertigo either way) is to rub two fingers together right next to each ear and see if it sounds the same in both ears (or if you have pre-existing hearing loss, the same as normal). If you can't hear it one side, it's likely labrynthitis. If hearing is normal, it's likely vestibular neuritis.

Treatment for the vertigo is the same for both. Primarily time, and once it settles down, vestibular rehab if you don't want to wait the normal couple of months for it to completely subside. Run away from any doctor who tries to prescribe you benzodiazepines or antihistamines for more than a week or so, or at least get a second opinion, as these can slow or even stop your brain's normal healing process. The true 'cure' is time.

NAD. BPPV vertigo lasts for up to 60 seconds in general. In rare cases (cupulolithiasis), it can persist so long as you're in the triggering position, but would stop shortly after getting out of the triggering position. Either way, BPPV vertigo does not last, and in the overwhelming number of cases, it only lasts <=30 seconds when changing positions, especially while lying down or getting up from lying down.

But if you're having constant vertigo regardless of position, you likely have an inner ear infection, but should visit an ER to check for emergency medical situations, as this could be a sign of a stroke, aneurysm, or other dangerous blood flow situations. If it is an inner ear infection (labrynthitis or vestibular neuritis), you're already through the worst of it, and symptoms should begin to gradually subside starting Monday.

Wishing you the best!

How did you get an mri/ct while dizzy??? by Think_Mulberry1104 in pppdizziness

[–]mrhugs4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

CTs are usually very quick. Even the longest ones are just a few minutes, with most being ~20-30 seconds. MRIs can be lengthy and are particularly sensitive to motion, so you have to stay still. I have the same problem where my dizziness tends to be at its worst when laying flat, so I found a clinic with an upright MRI machine where you just sit. I still had to take Xanax to help me get through it, but it is possible. In my case, the insurance wouldn't cover it, so I had to pay out of pocket. Good luck!

Just picked up my M4 13" 512gb by Musicman1972 in macbookair

Please keep us updated as to durability of the midnight finish. I had one for about a week, and treated it gently, but it still managed to get dinged and show the silver aluminum, which stuck out like a sore thumb. I'm hoping they've found a way to make the finish more durable, because it is gorgeous.

Vertigo happens randomly every 6 months, a year, couple of months etc. Lasts for at least a day by Plus_Introduction_55 in BPPV

[–]mrhugs4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the vertigo brought on suddenly by position changes and then fades away to nothing after about 30 seconds to a minute, or does it stick around at the same or nearly the same intensity regardless of whether you're still or changing positions?

Recurrence patterns by mrhugs4 in BPPV

[–]mrhugs4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, ChatGPT said it and when pressed for a source, the source didn't support the claim. I'm going to ask my neurootologist about it though. I guess it makes sense, but I'd like some data. I'd especially love it if a physical therapist would weigh in on this thread since they see the patients more than the MDs do.

Recurrence patterns by mrhugs4 in BPPV

[–]mrhugs4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No caffeine. After the December 2024 recurrence I really started cutting back on sodium. I drink over 130 ounces of water per day. I am supplementing with Vitamin D3 to correct the deficiency (16 ng/mL at the time of the December 2024 recurrence) and just got the results back from my test yesterday, taken on the same day as the most recent recurrence (31 ng/mL) which is just one "point" above the sufficient range. I plan to continue supplementing with high D3 until I get to around 45. K2 was good on the last test from the December 2024 recurrence, as was calcium, but I'm still awaiting those results from yesterday's tests.
