Hey all, long-time sufferer looking for shared experiences.

For several years I’ve been dealing with:

•	Lightheadedness
•	Brain fog
•	Chronic fatigue & exhaustion
•	Anxiety
•	Noise sensitivity

After a long search for answers, I recently did a gut test and Candida showed up. I’m now wondering if an overgrowth could plausibly explain all of the above.

Has anyone experienced a similar symptom cluster tied to Candida? And if so, what helped you most?

Any experiences or advice welcome. Thanks.

Edit: I don’t have any gut or IBS type symptoms.

Hey everyone,

I've got what appear to be honey bees getting into the doors and crevices of my log cabin. I'm not worried about getting stung, but I'm concerned about the potential damage to the timber - you can see in the photos they've actually bored through some of the wood in places. Although I love bees, this cabin cost me 20k 2-3 years back. Its also an Airbnb some of the time, so I need to be careful with kids staying here.

I want to deal with this humanely and relocate the colony rather than exterminate them. A few questions for the community:

Will this eventually get worse over time if not dealth with?

What's the best time of year to remove/relocate a bee colony? Should I wait until a specific season or handle it ASAP?

Is this something I can DIY, or should I be calling in a professional beekeeper or bee removal specialist?

Any tips on finding someone who does humane bee removal? What should I expect cost-wise? (Ireland based).

I wanted to paint the cabin this summer, but I believe the oil based paint might confuse them, thoughts?

From the photos, does this look more like honey bees or carpenter bees? I've heard carpenter bees are the ones that bore into wood.

I'm located in Ireland if that helps with timing recommendations.

Really appreciate any advice - I want to do right by the bees while also protecting my cabin!

Hi all,

Considering upgrading from Standard to Revolut Premium (€8.99/month) and wanted to get some honest takes from people actually using it here in Ireland before committing.

Im currently with BOI for most of my banking, mortgages etc, as I feel a I prefer the brinks and mortar aspect, that may well change over time. However I do use Revolut quite a bit, for smalled transactions, and wondering if its worth the 100€ per year.

On paper the headline benefits look decent:

• €400/month fee-free ATM withdrawals (vs €200 on Standard)
• Unlimited fee-free currency exchange including weekends
• Travel insurance (medical, luggage, winter sports)
• Purchase protection up to €2,500/year
• Ticket cancellation cover up to €1,000
• Partner subscriptions (Headspace, Freeletics, Tinder Plus)
• Discounted (not free) airport lounge access
• 5 free stock trades/month
• Up to 1.76% AER on savings

A few things I'm specifically wondering about:

1. How straightforward is the travel insurance to actually claim on? Any gotchas in the T&Cs worth knowing about?
2. Are the partner subscriptions genuinely useful or mostly padding?
3. For people who travel a few times a year - does it justify itself, or is Metal the better jump?
4. Is the savings rate competitive enough to matter, or are there better options in Ireland (State Savings, AIB, BOI etc.)?
5. Any hidden frustrations or things that look good on paper but fall flat in practice?
6. If you are a heavy spender, do you get more rewards / cashback each month?

Happy to hear from people who tried it and downgraded too - the negative experiences are just as useful.
