Duck,

For the record, both my partner and I have kept up with our vaccine schedule, and both mask (I’m on immunosuppressive medication) - I’ve likely not caught it once, and he’s only caught it once, likely bc he got careless. I still travel fairly frequently, internationally. We go out, have fun. Neither of our lives have stopped, we’re just more careful. Keep our distance from others. As an added bonus, I don’t have to smell the underground anymore, at all. Personally masking is 100% worth it. Improved my health and his, and doesn’t really impede on us. Though I am tired of nurses asking if I’m I’ll bc I’m in a mask when I go in for appointments :/

Duck,

Currently, my met office weather app is displaying no data available so uh… we’re doing great here comparitively.

Duck,

I went on Reddit long enough today to finish purging my content and replacing with spam - I haven’t deleted my accounts yet bc laziness. It was fun reading years old threads for a bit but I got bored and I probably won’t go back now. Haven’t missed it all month

Duck,

It’s been really lovely here. This is honestly the first time in recent memory that I haven’t had to carefully curate everything to filter out the absolute shite. I’ve enjoyed having a slower paced place to keep up with news and just have a chat

Duck,

One of the ones I remember watching was Geoff Marshall - he's got a very heavy UK focus if not exclusively.

I, personally, think we can never have too much train/public transit content and would love to see more of it. I've been moaning quite a lot about how shite YouTube is of late. Content creation isn't exactly easy but I'd welcome seeing more people in the space.

Duck,

It's several days later now but I would absolutely take any tips to add to my migraine toolbox. I've trialled several medications, my current one has destroyed my appetite and my sleep. I'm also on Botox, with still many breakthrough migraines. Tried glasses, adaptive lighting, ice, gammacore... It truly feels I've tried everything though I know that's likely not the case.

Duck,

That holistic approach you mention is one of the very few things that gives me any quality of life, frankly. I have one cup of (caffeinated) tea a day and that's it. Salt is probably one of the few things I have to have a ton of but I'm also very regularly nutrient deficient if I don't keep on top of it (sodium, potassium, etc).

Since my injury, I just.. don't go out longer than a very brief period in summer. It knocks me down for days if I do and just isn't worth it. I hibernate in a bedroom, with blackout curtains, take care of the dog, and do precious little else. It's a very sparse existence to be sure but less agonising. Aside from ice, these kinds of techniques are about all I can use on a regular basis? My migraines are too frequent and easily triggered to rely on meds - the triptans I've tried either haven't helped or have made things worse and you have MOH with NSAIDS. Steroids are a handful of times a year thing and give me absolutely wild blood sugar levels.

I'm still working my way through preventative medication options. It feels like I've been through everything but I'm sure there's more. I've a trial of this medication for 6 months, 3 at this dose, probably 3 at reduced.

Duck,

Ibuprofen is what I happened to have this time, but I shall for sure keep that in mind in regards to the naproxen. I'm generally quite a big fan of naproxen but ibuprofen just works better with my cramps for whatever reason and I try to just suffer through my migraines (too frequent). I've never had much pain relief with diclofenac, not sure why.

Duck,

Sometimes all you need is a good moan. I can commiserate with the (unwanted) weed smells - my brother vapes some several times a day. If he's home, he's more than likely vaping weed.

Hope you're taking care with that slipped disk - sounds very unfun

'They' keep talking about how with interest rates going up, we'll see housing prices crash but I'm starting to think it's all a load of bollocks.

Duck,

My first account was over at lemmy.world - that instance was quite large and well known before the Reddit exodus started. I don't really log in over there much anymore - quite a fan of the smaller scale and more localised things here. It's nice to have a reprieve from the 'american culture' that's so prevalent on the internet.

Duck,

I'm not shocked but I am quite peeved. Naturally the government would side with landowners - the rest of us are too poor. Additionally, England has quite the history of gating off spaces (parks and the like) for the upper classes and restricting access for the common people.

So it's not shocking. But irksome nonetheless.

Tablet organisers?

So I am on the hunt for a travel tablet organiser, specifically one for my as needed medications. I don't exactly want to take them out of blister packs when it might be days or weeks before I need the next dose but I usually break them out into 'singlets' to take out with me. I currently just keep them tossed in my bag but...

Duck,

That's such an obvious answer lol I don't know how I didn't think of a zipper pouch. I'll probably go with something like that

Duck, (edited )
