Hello,
I’ve had gastritis for years, but just connected the dots of what it is after this latest flare/increase of symptoms about a week and a half ago. Unknown cause, potentially stress. Haven’t gotten an endoscope yet.

How do you all sleep? I take sleep supplements, elevate my head, sleep on my left side, stop eating around 7:30 and still deal with burning that keeps me up for hours or sometimes all night. It feels like a gnawing raw burning hunger sensation that sometimes raises my heart rate and makes me feel panicked. I’ve tried somatic tracking with like 5% success sometimes. Any tips?

I know part of the fun of antiquing is overflowing aisles you can explore and find hidden goodies, but I was wondering if anyone knew of antique stores nearby with wider aisles with less stuff around the floor that a wheelchair user could maneuver (maybe 60+ percent of the store? doesn’t have to be the whole thing). Thank you! 🙏

Best artichoke dishes including grilled artichokes, dips and more! Thank you!

Hello,

I'm just moving here, and I was wondering your tips on affordable* gardening, like the best deals on compost, reasonably priced plants, end-of-season sales, and more!

*I know affordable is relative. I didn't know how else to describe it.

Thanks! Look forward to your responses.

It’s been anywhere from 80s-110s (during rest) for a few days now, with adrenaline dumps and panic attacks including at night. I take Guanfacine and Mestinon and Xanax which aren’t touching it. I’ve laid down with my legs up, hydrated well, ice packs- nada. Help?

I've always loved the look of weeping willows. How do they do in Portland? Invasive? Thanks!

Hello,
I’ve fed my kitty Weruva Who Wants to be a Meowionaire for years as it’s the only thing she doesn’t seem to vomit. A family member has a cat who has heart issues now and needs to have a with grain diet. I didn’t know about this. I would like to sub her food or maybe add a few with grains to prevent any issues. Advice? Thank you!

My partner who is my caregiver went on a 10 day cruise where laundry, meals etc were done for them. They’re coming home and I just can’t help but know and feel saddened that they’re coming home to take care of me and the household, things I know that they don’t enjoy and stress them out. Feels like it’s a low after a high. I just feel incredibly guilty and small. I struggled without them here (despite other caregivers coming in to help) and just wish I could do even a few more things for myself to ease their burden and suffering.

Do you take your supplement daily or every other day?

Does anyone know of any rescues where you can go pet well taken care of animals? Cats, dogs, rats, llamas- you name it! I just struggle visiting places where the animals are not receiving really good, above average, care, so wanted to get people’s personal experiences. Thank you so much! 😊

Does anyone know of any show rooms with bath tubs under 59in? Everywhere I called doesn’t have any! (Lowes, Home Depot, Ferguson, Keller supply, and the Fixture gallery) Thanks so much :)

Hello,

We're looking for a personal support worker / personal assistant/care attendant. I've seen posts here about agencies NOT recommended, but not many for those that are. Any recommendations of individuals or agencies you can personally vouch for? Thank you!
