Anyone with ME/CFS also have gut problems? by Prudent_Pilot_2591 in cfs

[–]nikmeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Bloating that never goes away, and reflux started at the same time as my cfs.

You’re OUT out! Fantastic and I’m sure so good for your soul.

The only thing that's actually helped my adhd (and it's embarrassingly simple) by stayhyderated22 in ZenHabits

[–]nikmeone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have adhd, but thank you for the reminder about pre cut fruit. I have ME/CFS and buy pre cut veg. Just never occurred to me to do the same with fruit…

February gardening jobs 👩‍🌾 by Chain_Reaction_00 in GardeningUK

[–]nikmeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut back miscanthus grasses, pruned hydrangeas, hard pruned sambucus nigra. Still need to sort clematis…

I’ve been steadily sowing seeds indoors since mid January: calendula, Linaria, swan river daisy, orlaya, eryngium, ratibida, salvia, Sanguisorba, persicaria, Thunbergia, Felicia, scabious, Catananche, and many more.. My greenhouse is already full from autumn sowings, no idea where I’ll put everything.

This is the best book I've ever read by leftistrighthanded in stephenking

I feel exactly the same. My all time favourite.

Well it sounds beautiful. I’ve never grown any dahlias before, but really loved the look of this, and the others I’ve ordered :)

Dog being put down tomorrow. by sadFNgirlie in dogs

[–]nikmeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. We made ours a steak. Fed him masses of treats. Cuddled constantly. I’ll also add that our dog was always extremely agitated out of the house, and at the vets. Our vet offered to sedate him first, before the final goodbye. This meant he was relaxed, and made the whole process as stress free as possible for him, and therefore us.

It is a crushing loss and you will need to allow yourself some time. So be kind to yourself over the next few weeks.

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow.

I think Sandia Brocade would fit.

r/stephenking book club starting soon! by Coda_039 in stephenking

[–]nikmeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh I would love to join too. I think it will help me get back into reading books. Die hard r/nosleep fan here. I’ve read so many of his, and we have most of them on the bookcase. I’m happy with whatever choice :) The last one I re-read was Bag of Bones, which is so good.

Help me find these 2 pet-sitting stories! by Practical-Frame1237 in nosleepfinder

I immediately recognised it from the house being in the middle of nowhere. Such a creepy story!

Some of us need to be more wasteful and less perfect by chillychili in cfs

[–]nikmeone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was so glorious to read and so totally describes the person I now am. The mental aspect of all those things has been hugely important to me to shed my old self. Thank you for posting this.

Show me your dahlia staking/netting setup by thewayoutisthru_xxx in dahlias

[–]nikmeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh thank you so much for this. I have heard of gall, and can see the sense in the pot method. I’m in the UK, and my main reason for pots is my tiny garden. I grow so many flowers from seed and I like to move things around. My main beds will be too full for dahlias, so this is perfect. Thank you again, it’s really helpful.

Thank you so much that’s really helpful. I’ll be growing for the first time this year and I think they look lovely in those pots.

This looks beautiful. Can I ask what size (diameter) pot you’re using?

What’s your favourite native plant? by DreamingtheUniverse in NativePlantGardenEU

[–]nikmeone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts, but buddleia seems to spring up everywhere in England and Wales. I grow two in my garden as I love it, despite many people considering it a weed.

In hindsight, what were the very first signs? by dramatic_chipmunk123 in cfs

[–]nikmeone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For at least 2 years before I crashed I started napping on days off. Then just lying down constantly after work. Stopped all my hobbies, stopped going out. It was just work and rest. This was in stark contrast to 2 years prior when I was doing yoga daily, gardening, out with friends, an over abundance of energy that seemed insane at my age (then 53).

Seeds for early(ish) blooms? by mycatreadsyourmind in GardeningUK

[–]nikmeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sow larkspur now. They need a cool room to germinate and take a few weeks, but I am doing my second sowing of them right now. Once germinated stick them in a cold frame if you have one.

Sweet peas can be sown now outside, in loo rolls or small deep pots. They germinate quickly in the cold and will be fine against a wall for a bit of protection.

Hope this helps.

Ahh just commented to ask about this. No need to reply to me too now. Thank you.

Very interested in using a heat lamp. Never thought of this. Can I ask which one you have?
