I was just prescribed 300 mg three times a day for sciatic pain. The pain isn’t that bad except when I go to bed, and the doctor said it was not a strong dose, but it seems strong to me compared to what other people take. I drink wine almost every day and I’m going on vacation tomorrow with my girlfriends. We all drink wine from the afternoon into the evening. I can cut back for sure, but none? That’ll be impossible. I would rather just take one pill in the morning and that’s it. Does everybody cut out wine? I didn’t feel any side effects from my first pill that I took six hours ago.

I know I’ve read somewhere before in this sub, but can’t find it. I’ve been getting supplies from Apria. My current doctor also ordered my most recent machine from Apria. But I’ve never liked that company and I really don’t like their automated phone calls, etc. As a Medicare patient, can I get my supplies elsewhere?

We put in a Ring wired doorbell and no other Ring products (we have other home security). I just want to look on my phone and see who is or was at the door. Maybe it's today or a month ago. I'd like to know if most users subscribe to the solo plan for $5/month, or pay double for "pro intelligence".

I understand the Ring doorbell is designed to prevent multiple rings on the doorbell. However, you can press the doorbell and it will ring outside on the unit everytime you press it. But the inside chime only rings once. I don't like that because someone outside might not think you're home if they press multiple times and no one comes to the door. If I don't hear the inside chime the first time, I won't know someone (that I'm expecting) will be outside still ringing. I tried "chatting" with customer service - USELESS! I replugged the chime and also did factory reset. Nothing changes. Any insight?

I fed my dog a small amount of cut up barbecued chicken last night. It was probably an eighth of a cup. But it was well seasoned. Now this morning he went out and ate a bunch of grass and threw up, and there was some light pink liquid. He also has a runny stool which also looked like there could be a little blood in it. But it was in the dirt so hard to tell. I was planning on giving him some cooked rice and open up a can of pumpkin. Does anyone think this chicken could’ve caused a problem? I’ve given him leftover chicken in the past with no issues. Thoughts anyone?

**UPDATE**. I took him to the emergency vet. They gave him a couple of injections of anti-vomiting medication and acid indigestion medication. They also prescribed similar meds to give him for the next several days if not longer. I am to prepare only bland cooked chicken breast or some ground meat and I can serve it with rice. He did have some chicken and rice for dinner tonight and loved it. This will be the regimen for the next few days.

Thank you all for your input. 💗

Ours is one year old - bought from Costco. We had a Bosch 500 for years and decided it was time for upgrade. Now we are constantly challenged with stinky odor. Our previous one also had this and installation guy said it was from the hose that goes to the air thingy by the sink so he replaced it. Now with our new machine, I have used cleaner (Pling) multiple times over the past year, cleaned out filter etc, cleaned out that air hose, tried different detergents. Last night used the Cascade tab (not my favorite; I prefer Cascade powder in the box bc I don't like plastic stuff), and this morning - opened the dishwasher and voila - stinky as hell!!!! We are perplexed!! Should we contact Costco, Bosch, ???? I am NOT happy.

I was all set to get my Watchman device next week, but my cardiologist said that my atrial appendage is too small. So now I guess I’ll never get one and I’ll be on Xarelto for the rest of my life. Not the worst problem in the world, but I am super bummed about it. So disappointed.

I have a Dell Windows 10. Have problems with Outlook, OneDrive, etc. It's just not like it used to be. Some advise me to get a Mac but I'm so used to using what I have. I don't do gaming or anything extraordinary. A friend can help move all my data over. I'm just not sure what to get and the last two have been refurbished so I saved money. Would like to keep it under $500. Also I have solid state and prefer to keep it that way. I used half the storage and have about 430 GB left. I have a Dell Inspiron 3668. Any suggestions?

I've had a series 10 for a while now. Something has changed with the heart rate function. I keep the ECG app on the face of my watch so I can tap, then hold my finger on the crown so I can see a 30 second countdown to check if I'm in sinus rythym or not. The countdown function is gone. Now all I see is my current heart rate. I guess an update changed it but I'd like to have it the way it was. Any insight to this? Thanks.

I'm having a Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) next week. I will be under conscious or moderate sedation. The scheduled time for the procedure is at noon. I know I need to be driven home, but I'm wondering how soon I can drive after that. Once I'm home, I need to be someplace that is an hour away and I will need to drive myself after I get home. If it's the same as when I had a colonoscopy, I had to be driven home after that but I felt absolutely fine and able to drive.

Save Moon Camp is a $10 million fundraising campaign launched by the Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV) and the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust (SBMLT) to purchase and permanently preserve over 62 acres of land near Big Bear Lake, California.  The initiative aims to stop the Moon Camp development, a proposed luxury housing and marina project that threatens the habitat of the famous bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow, as well as rare species like the San Bernardino flying squirrel and the Ash-gray Indian Paintbrush.

My mother-in-law will be 94 and lives in San Rafael. We want to take her to a nice place for lunch on Monday, Memorial Day, and go for a short walk. She's lived in Marin forever so nothing will be particularly new. She's not impressed with high-end dining, just good food and a nice place to walk. Not a huge group, only five of us. Open to suggestions. TIA

I have had this dishwasher for almost a year and have been constantly disappointed with the way my wine glasses come out dirtier than before washing. I always use the AUTO setting and Cascade powder detergent (I avoid buying products in plastic containers). My old Bosch 500 was the same way, and I used Finish tabs with that machine.

I called Bosch this morning, and they suggested trying the Speed 60-minute cycle. Unfortunately, they do not provide a way for me to email photos to them.

Does anyone have similar experience? These are nice Riedel glasses - I have been handwashing lately. It's a pain when there are several people and tasting wine.
