I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
When it starts
What you ate
What you did the day before
I have had chronic ringing (tinnitus) in my ears since my 20’s. I do have some hearing loss. I have horrible allergies and asthma.
We think his first was made worse by dehydration. (EMS to the hospital) Now he gets wee bouts, typically upon getting up, and they fade over an hour or the day.
Note that there are manoeuvres other than the Epley roll and it is directional. Sometimes I could see his eyes twitch or track towards the affected ear, which indicted which way to roll him.
Instinct tells me I should probably drink more, but that's just guessing.
change in season ? Pressures , humidity. Temperature ?
I know season change effects asthma
Llama , hoping you get better soon too .
No apologies are necessary. We fully understand. Sending many hugs your way!
Thanks for the kind words but I didn't do it alone. I reconciled with my former husband and it's the second best thing I ever did. The best thing I ever did was marrying him in the first place. God only knows what I'd be today if things had continued on as they were.

I have to ask. Is your friend who's the drug rep a very attractive woman? When I lived out in California years ago I knew a girl who was a drug rep and went around to doctor's offices. She told me I'd be good at that job. The only requirements for that job are you have to be hot, smile a lot and be flirty and flattering to the doctors.
No thanks. I had a job and I'm not great at sucking up or stroking someone's ego.
I know people who have done aqua therapy. The water is soothing and it helps with achieving fluid movements.
Accupuncture offered instant warmth & relief (bit sore later that night). Then mostly gone. Was like a reset. Apparently not everyone is that lucky, it doesn't work for all or takes a few sessions.
I added warm water pool walking & now do regularly which seems to keep it at bay.
Llama, I hope you find relief. It sucks.
Your statements are so true.
Many times I have been waiting in my doctor’s office to see her and a pharmaceutical sales rep comes in with a briefcase full of different meds to show the doctor!
I have a friend who is a pharmaceutical sales representative. She says that she is a ‘legal’ drug dealer, 🤣 who gives out samples all day long to the doctors.
My friend will occasionally play golf with some of her clients (doctors) and they consistently chat about drugs. It’s a huge business with lots of marketing going on.
My heart goes out to you with the sciatica pain. I know how that is. From time to time I've been in such pain from it that I can barely walk and every move feels like I'm getting stabbed.
Physical therapy helped me. I do the exercises I learned there several times a day even in the office.
I had a flare-up about a month or so ago. It lasted about a week, but it wasn't that bad. Try PT.

You know I think doctors prescribe all these drugs because they're like children with new toys that are also getting paid to play with.
They just want to see what these drugs will do.
I went to the doctor awhile back and she was doing her best to get me on a couple anti-depressants because I "need" them.
I told her that my life was a miserable living hell and anyone would have depression if they were living in unemployed poverty and working as an unpaid care slave to an abusive parent who they never got along with. I was a hundred pounds overweight at the time because the situation brought me so low that all I did was eat. I had no social life and really nothing to live for. It took everything I had just to get out of bed every day.
I started to dig myself out of the hole I was in by watching my diet and getting some exercize. When I was losing the weight some good things happened to me.
When I got away from my mother, I was cured.
There's no med that cures poverty. Or loneliness. Or negativity.
I'm glad I didn't get talked into going on meds.
