if it's from tightness/spasms, magnesium spray works well for me sometimes. (and not at all other times bc why are bodies?)

upside: my cognition IS noticeably better! (i've been on daily benadryl since 1998)

downside: pain since doing that is significantly worse; it was already at the point where the homemade medical mj tincture i take daily prn is used for treating end-stage cancer pain and i am struggling to deal

alll the solidarity!

the biggest rule when i was growing up was don't mess with my grandma's schedule and never spring things on her unexpectedly, because she'd have "a little break down"

she found so many social rules utterly baffling. she'd explain to me as "it doesn't make sense, but [thing]"

YES. famotidine is nowhere near as good. if rznitodine is an 8 to 9 fir gut reactions, famotodine is 4-5.

are pressure points on the outer part of each elbow crease that can trigger gut motility. put one hand on the ipposite shoulder, fit the fingers of the other hand slong yhe crease of the elbow w the pinky right at the rlbow bone. massage for a minute or so, gently but firmly, then switch sides. 2/

i don’t have it, but it seems to often coexist with things like dysautonmia, pots, eds, and mcas.

in the long term, if you get nausea it might be worth talking to your hcp about trialing famotidine or another antihistamine that helps with gut mediated mast cell issues

in the short term there 1/

who we are in physicsl reality is just a small part of our true selves, and the division between life and death is just moving between realms

also, it’s not a simple one way trip.

i'd add a 3rd category that's probably larger than the 2nd one:

some folx (like me!)'ve had near death experiences, experience with the dying, & other experiences that indicate that physical reality is often not as static as we're all taught.

i'm firmly 1 & 3 & i've questioned 2 many times!😹😻

Anyone know a) if in Canada when a vet dies it gets tied to their military record and if so b) where I could write to ask for the info?
Also c) anyone know if there are hoops that might be hard as I'm not in Canada?

(pain levels are still horrible. zoning out mindlessly on searches is a win!)

do i have any Canadalander friends here?

I am searching for one of my father's Canadian cousins who I have in a couple pictures and know when/where he was born, his parents, that's he served in WW2, but don't have anything on his death aside from that he may've died around Thunder Bay.
