Caring for acer and honeysuckle during constant heatwaves

My garden is east facing, it gets a lot of baking sun. The garage backing on to these provides some shade for them.

Just wondering as I am new to gardening, what would be the best way to care for these two pals during the hot springs and summers we're having now? I dont want to under or over water them. Thank you

Diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia..but I think it's Burning Mouth Syndrome

Am 43, perimenopausal, waiting for HRT.

Since 2022 I've had ongoing right sided mouth pain, leading to one molar extraction, a root canal on the tooth next to it, and me now begging for that tooth to be extracted. The dentist wouldn't do it as an ENT said I possibly have Trigeminal Neuralgia (based on endoscopy showing unusually pale sinus on that side)

My symptoms don't seem like TN to me:

- constant bitter taste right side of mouth

- burning/numb sensation roof of mouth right side, like how it feels when you eat a pizza too hot

- upper right 5 tooth v sensitive to hot food, sharp pain as soon as it touches the tooth

- feeling of slightly blocked nose right side, pain behind eye

- pain and bitter taste goes away when eating or chewing gum

I'm thinking it seems more like Burning Mouth Syndrome. It seems SO much like toothache but multiple dentists telling me all looks fine, and that the extraction I had was unnecessary.

Anyone have similar experience? I feel desperate and am off work with the pain, and worn down from being passed around between dentist and doctors. Thanks for reading

Has anyone else being diagnosed by endoscopy finding 'pale meatus' in sinus? Feeling desperate for help

Have had ongoing right sided facial pain for years that feels a lot like toothache, already had one molar extracted in 2022 and the pain remained after, have been back to dentist asking for another extraction this week but they say the x-ray looks fine (tooth has a root canal though, done in 2023, again because of pain), antibiotics had no effect.

My symptoms don't really seem like TN to me:

-Extreme sensitivity in upper right 5 tooth to hot food (it was upper right 6 that got extracted, so one next to it)

- Unable to brush it even touch upper right 5 tooth, sharp pain when I do

- Intermittent numb/tingly roof of mouth, and constant bitter taste (for 4 years!), right side only

- Fullness and mildly blocked sinus feeling on right side

- Dull pain that goes up as far as behind eye

Could something else other than TN cause this 'pale meatus' in the sinus that the ENT found with the camera? The infection she mentions was acute sinusitis that I had 6 years before this consultation. Wouldn't I be getting electric shock zaps when eating and brushing if it was TN?

I feel so desperate, begged the dentist to extract but they want me to try the prescription from ENT first - amitriptyline, which I started yesterday but I feel like a total zombie, just slept all night and day, most of it sleep paralysis so was half awake but couldn't move.

Thank you for any help 😞

What makes living in London worth it?

I see London House and flat prices, rent & buying, and with the exception of people who have always lived there/have all their family there, I just don't get how it can possibly be worth it.

The kind of very high salary jobs that might make it worth it - couldn't a lot of those be done mostly or fully remotely anyway?

Genuinely interested, cos when I see a flat there that costs 600k+ that would be under 200k elsewhere, or rents of £1000+ for house shares, I struggle to see what the huge appeal is

Am I making the right decision tomorrow?

Upper right 5 tooth had a big filling in it already, then 3 years ago had a root canal too. It never felt better after having it done, constant bitter taste in mouth from that side ever since, surrounding teeth have weirdly got brown coating that doesn't come off during hygienist visit.

I learned to live with the pain because dentists have said it all looks good on x-rays, but it's pain every day and in the last month I can't eat hot food as it's like electric shock straight up the tooth, roof of mouth is numb and tingly, feels like a fork prong is wedged in my jaw, and its started to throb at night. I can't even brush it or touch with tongue.

Dentist still saying it looked alright on x-ray, gave me course of antibiotics, they did nothing at all. I now have appointment tomorrow for it to be extracted, but I'm scared it's something else, then I've lost a tooth for no reason and still have the pain. Am I making the right decision? I've wanted to yank it out for years!
