I left for a two week vacation, and when I returned my machine started acting up. Stopping the brew mid cycle. So I cleaned the needles and ran a descaling cycle hoping that would fix it. But It hasn’t gone back to its normal condition. The brew is not as hot, it intermittently still stops brewing mid cycle, and when it does brew a full cycle the coffee tastes bitter. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? I ran 4 full reservoir rinses after the descale. I didn’t use the Keurig descaling solution so I wonder if that is the problem.

I’m looking for advice on the best approach. My newly adopted 4 year old cat had her first wellness exam and my vet detected a grade 2 heart murmur. The recommendation was to immediately schedule chest x ray and echocardiogram. I did some research online and found a reference to a Pro-BNP blood test that can indicate if the heart is stressed, making further testing necessary. I asked for the test to be performed and it was normal. My cat has no symptoms, and her resting respiratory rate is in within normal range (22). My inclination is to monitor, check respiratory rate periodically, and reassess with another BNP test at her next wellness exam in a year. Does this sound like a reasonable approach?

I just got back from my ENT visit where I was diagnosed with BPPV and the doc performed an Epley Maneuver. Holy Mackerel, the spinning was violent and terrifying and I nearly threw up when it was over. So unpleasant. I was given a script to go to a vestibular physical therapist who can perform additional Epleys but I’m not looking forward to repeating the experience. For those that have worked with vestibular therapists, are there alternatives they can provide?
