I went to a neurological ophthalmologist to make sure I didn’t have something crazy wrong with my eyes that a regular optometrist couldn’t see. My thought was this was all coming from my eyes because my only lasting symptom from my vestibular neuritis is severe eye strain. I thought maybe I was just lumping this in with the event/pppd because there dizziness and the nausea went away after about 9 months.

Well my eyes are fine, just kinda locked in from keeping myself stable. Same with my neck and traps. They hurt a lot.

Anyway, she suggested I do this thing called Gravity Reset Method and wondering if anyone else has done this? What are your thoughts or your results?

It’s a much newer therapy method vs VOR so there’s not much info out there.

I got a month of BGA to try Cartographers before I buy it. It’s so fun. The scoring is punishing lol.

What’s your favorite solo games to play on here?

I plan to use it to see if I’ll like a game before buying but thought it would be cool to be able to play in bed, so looking for recs on the ones most optimized for the browser set up. (I wish they had like a steam app, the browser gets a little funky on some games).

Thanks!

I really like games that have cards like tableau builders and engines but I hate that so many of them require so many other mechanics and pieces.

Someone recommended A Wild Venture a while back when I mentioned this in reference to loving Wonderous Creatures and Creature Caravan but hating how many pieces they had and things to track.

A Wild Venture was perfect but I feel like maybe there’s even better ones I haven’t found yet that fit the bill?

Hey everyone, sorry if this isn’t a good place to ask. I have a family member with stage 4 cancer and I’m trying to help them sell one of their boats. They asked me to see if I could figure out pricing but I’m seeing listings all over the place and I know just because something is listed at a price doesn’t mean it’ll sell at that.

Is there a way to see like sold listings on boats? Is that a thing?

It’s a 2008 may-craft 2550 pilot house with a Yamaha 250 and about 120 hours on it. Everything works. I wouldn’t say it’s like pristine condition though. I would say it’s “used- good”.

Any help? Thank you!

Edit: located in South east US

I’ve tried a bunch of meds and the only thing that works is a benzo. I’m scared to get hooked on them since I don’t know how long my doctor will keep giving them to me. So I have been taking them just once a week and the two days following I’m fine and then it all comes back. Except I had a two week period everything was gone after months of relentless symptoms.

I can’t figure out what changed those two weeks but it was pure bliss. I did so much around my house and I was so happy.

I can’t take antidepressants whatever that med is. They make me crazy.

I tried the nurtec and ubrevly one.

What else is left?

I really love cute (or just neat art) tableau builders but all the ones I love are such table hogs. Which I can look past but then they also have a million pieces to keep up with and I just hate getting them out knowing I have to put it ask away 😄

Anything with a similar feel but mostly cards and board without a crazy amount trackers and inventory pieces?

I find that I play games way more of there is a campaign mode or things to work towards. Legacy is also fine.

What are your favorites (that are actually available right now) and why?

I don’t have a ton of criteria because I play all sorts of games. I prefer the art to be on the more modern side and not looking like the art style of the early 2000s if that makes any sense) but other than that no major preference.

I’ve been to every sort of doctor and all that’s left is a BVD specialist. It’s going to cost a lot of money. I question could this even be it if Klonopin makes all my symptoms go away?

Symptoms:

Extreme eye strain that worsens with close to tasks

Nausea, headache and dizziness if it gets really bad from too much close to work throughout the day

Light sensitivity

Fatigue

That’s it.

If I take the med, I’m 100% back to normal. Of course I ask not supposed to take them daily so I only get relief once or twice a week.

I had extremely bad eye strain and feeling motion sick for 2. Then just the crazy eye strain. It would reset every day when I woke up and get worse through the day. Especially looking at screens. My primary doctor gave me nurtec to try because a neurologist around here is booked 4 months out and within an hour the eye strain went away?? I assumed I had pppd from how long it lasted but then nurtec wouldn’t work. I don’t understand how you can have a migraine for months.

Curious if anyone is backing any kickstarter currently that hasn’t closed yet?

I’m thinking about doing Rosalie because it looks adorable lol but I’m wanting to look around at some others people are interested in since I always seem to have my “cute” glasses on and miss some gems based on art style.

I love not having to set up too much but it seems my collection of not a lot of set up games are too light and while they are fun I want a challenge more often than not.

Ideas? I would love to know your thoughts on it as well in addition to just recommending if possible!

Thank you

When starting out did anyone experience this? Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

When I get off the bike after a class my groin area is numb for a few mins. I feel like I must be pinching something? Doesn’t seem to matter if I sit up straight or lean in on the handles.

It goes away after a few mins but I don’t want to mess something up down there lol

I two handed Creature Caravan today even though you can play solo and it was actually really fun so it got me thinking maybe I can expand my collection to technically non solo games if there are fun two handed.

Any favorites?

Edit: wow you guys like some heavy games!

I think my collection of cute is at its peak with light games. I have them all. It’s also at its peak with roll and writes.

I think it’s time to venture into medium to hard or campaign territory.

I did order Eila already but anything else?

Cuteness factor needs to be pretty high 😆

Ugh. I had a major vertigo event a year ago. At that point I was down to about .125 mg a day. After about two weeks I was better. I had fluid in my ears.

5 months later I started Zoloft for OCD and it gave me dpdr so I stopped. I still managed to not take any benzo for weeks. The dpdr faded but was replaced by this weird eye strain and dizziness if I look at anything close up. Phone, my computer at work, crochet, a board game, writing a letter, etc. not only do my eyes hurt really bad doing these, but then I’m just screwed the entire day. The rest of the day my eyes are strained and I’m dizzy and off.

I went to get surgery done and was couldn’t calm down so they gave me Ativan. I waited two hours to be taken back and I realized in that moment that it was the first time in weeks I wasn’t straining my eyes and dizzy. I felt so good just feeling normal.

After that (about 3 months ago I started taking my klonopin again just once a day every 3 days or so in order to have a life. I could drive, go to the grocery store, take my kid to the park. But I knew going back to daily was going to screw me so I suffered days between although not as bad. It seems the clonazepam can stop the dizziness for two days. Day 3 it starts coming back and I just suffer that day, then day 4 I take another.

I feel stuck now. I know this isn’t sustainable. I’ve been to every doctor and they all have no idea. My primary thinks maybe it’s from my vertigo event (something called PPPD) but my symptoms don’t really match up but there’s no other explanation.

Now I’m wondering if it’s the klonopin even though I was off several months before all this started. Could it have been a delayed reaction and now I’m just prolonging it?

Did anyone else have these symptoms? Severe eye strain to the point you’re dizzy? It feels like when I look in the mirror my eyes should look super stoned and squinty but they look normal.

Ugh I don’t know what to do. I’m not anxious at all. I’m just strained and dizzy. But I can’t even drive without it and the thought of stopping again and going through months of not being able to leave my house sounds so defeating.
