It hit 90°F and suddenly I am struggling

Seems like i was fine with warm days right up until we broke that 90° mark yesterday and then I started getting what I think are low cortisol stomach ache etc episodes. Like a flip got switched. It's kinda scary! It's very hot and miserable but I wasn't doing anything even mildly strenuous, I wasnt outside in the sun, I was sweaty but it didn't feel very physically stressful. All I did was leave my air conditioned room a couple times to do barely any basic house stuff. Like, loading dishes and starting laundry.

Maybe it's a coincidence but I feel like it's probably the heat, and I'm nervous for the next two days! Family gatherings both days, I wish the timing on this heat wave was different cause I feel like I don't have a handle on what's going on!!

I guess I'll updose slightly. I just added an extra half pill of fludro in the evening as well. I'm not good with drinking electrolytes but I've got salt tabs so I'm thinking I'll take one or two a day (my sodium level is always borderline low so it can't hurt right?)

Any tips, thoughts, experiences welcome!

Which top freezer fridge should I get? (Costco)

Hi all, would love some opinions & thoughts! The fancy Kenmore elite fridge that came with our house is dying of LG compressor disease. I think we'll go back to basics with a top mount freezer, and will be buying from costco. I'm not sure which one to get from these 5 options:

GE 21.9 ft³ GTS22KYNRFS $850-$950 (fridge 15.25 ft³)

Whirlpool 21.3 ft³ WRTX3021TZ $1000 (fridge 15.26 ft³) "total coverage cooling"

Frigidaire 20 ft³ FFHT2045XS $650-$750 (fridge 14.6 ft³) "eventemp cooling"

Midea 20.5 ft³ MRT21D3BST $530-$580 (fridge 14.7 ft³)

Whirlpool 20 ft³ WRT311FZDW $800-$880 (fridge 14.42 ft³)

Feel like I don't know enough about the differences between these fridges to pick! I don't care much about the finish. I do care about even cooling in the fridge compartment. Easy access to coils for cleaning would be nice. When our current fridge worked, we had the fridge temp set to 33°F and the freezer to below 0°F; can any of these fridges get close to that? Any help narrowing this down would be awesome!! TIA

Starting to get annoyed about prescriptions. How do your docs write them?

My hydrocortisone prescription doesn't reflect my dosage. My 10mg and 5mg both say "one a day". Idk why my Endo does this and visits go so fast I've yet to squeeze in a question about that. (He knows my actual "normal day" dosage, and he told me all about sick day rules so I know he knows about updosing.) I'm starting to get annoyed about having to contact the office every refill (they autoreject requests from the pharmacy) and then contact the pharmacy 1-3 times to get them to fill it. I have to take these meds for life, at this point just write the dosage as "whatever she thinks is right" and authorize 999999 refills.

Yeah so anyways, how are your scripts written?

Was gifted the classic sandals, but normally I'm barefoot or in very bendy shoes. Is there hope? Also a strap q

My husband (bless him) bought me these last year. Summer's coming so I'm revisiting trying to get used to them! All my daily wear shoes are super bendable, so the Birkenstock is almost shockingly inflexible to me. I'd love to know if anyone is similar to me (barefoot whenever possible, comfortable in very thin/minimal soles) but likes their birks. I know breaking them in is a process and all that, just want reassurance that there's a real chance I might like them eventually!

Also a big reason why I didn't start breaking them in last year was that they make fart sounds. There's about a half inch of space between my foot and each strap on the tightest setting (I'm kinda an in-between size), so I'm thinking I should punch holes for a closer fit...good idea? And is this likely to fix the fart sound issue or do I gotta be wearing socks?

▲ 23 r/F1TV

(in the US. only the US?)

They're for F1 races and properties, but they're still ads. They're during pre- and post- shows, not the race, but they're still ads.

AND THEY AREN'T EVEN GOOD. Advertise Sam Collins or something, not the race we just watched for the love of god

Edit: THREE sets of ads during the post-show so far. Two ads for the Miami Grand Prix. This is brain-dead, dead air would feel less insulting and annoying.

Also I would like to make it excessively clear that I am not watching appletv, I am watching the f1tv stream through the f1tv app.
