Headaches,Dizziness, Anxiety! Help!!
Comments (5)Thanks so much for the info! Actually I have a regular prescription for the dizziness but I'm afraid to take it because I was taking it the last time right before I ended up in the hospital and I just don't know if it triggered it or not! I am so afraid to take anything because of it. The medical doctor even gave me a mild relaxer for the anxiety attacks that I was getting, and that too is still in the cupboard. One of the side effects was dizziness!! That makes alot of sense!! I just might have to give in and try it! I was also taking Black Cohosh until the headaches started and found out that even though they are natural, they can give headaches!! Listen to me, I sound like a hypocondriact(how ever you spell it)! Actually I believe in taking anything natural if at all possible. Bobbi54, what is HTP? And how much of the other stuff do you take? Thanks ladies for your help, I really need it. Doctors are no help at all....See MoreElderly mother headed to Banff, Canada
Comments (5)mariend, thank you for your quick response. I forwarded your info to my mother last night, but have not heard from her. I'm sure partly because my cousin is with her now, visiting for the weekend. I have already told my mother that if she feels like she simply has to go, to take all of the precautions, but if anything at all happens to her, that we will hold our cousin accountable! (I'm only partly joking.....) The ironic part of it all is that my brother-in-law (sister's husband) is Canadian. His father spends more time here in the South, especially during the winter, because of the frigid temps. I really don't get where my mother is coming from. This whole trip came up very suddenly - it's a group trip that my cousin has had planned for months. One of the women recently backed out, and that is when she asked my mom if she was interested. I pray that it falls through. When it does, maybe we could plan a trip in the summer, if she still insists on going....See MoreOlder women and perfume - and I'm moving
Comments (31)Lori, so sorry about the vertigo. I hope some of the advice here helps. I also am sensitive to scents. It tends to go in cycles, getting worse when my immune system is on high alert (meaning my sensitivity ramps up and shortly thereafter I get sick with a cold or flu). When it's bad, it seems like everyone is wearing cologne, even though I know that I'm probably just smelling the same soap or lotion or shampoo that they use every day. I once found myself following a woman on the sidewalk who I could smell from half a block away. It usually shows up as either post-nasal drip (and the subsequent throat-clearing and coughing) or as lightheadedness and an inability to concentrate, depending on the particular chemicals in the scent (I think). For me, it started in graduate school with powder fresh deodorant (my own). After I fainted a couple times in shops like Bath and Body Works, I learned to avoid them. I buy unscented products when I can get them and check the scent of other products (like shampoo) before I buy them. I'm pretty proactive about telling folks who I can't avoid (office mates, other members of my choir) that I have a problem with their lotion (or whatever) and they have been very good about cooperating. It's the strangers or folks I see only occasionally where I get into trouble (and don't feel okay bringing it up). Banning perfumes is on my "queen for a day" list (along with reforming social security and the US income tax system)....See MoreEnjoyable roses & recipes for health
Comments (136)I don't grow Autumn Damask, but folks report nasty thorns. I love Comte de Chambord since it's small & compact & fast rebloom, and the thorns are NOT BAD. It has tiny prickles ...the ones that poke me badly are the big roses with large thorns like Lady of Shallot. Both Carol and I have roses that die through our harsh winter. My winter got down to -14 F last week with -20 F windchill factor. Today we have a snow storm with 6 inch. of snow. Firefighter, Wise Portia, and Cloudert Soupert died multiple times in my zone 5 winter, but they are worth growing for amazing scents. Cloudert Soupert is thornless & tiny for the pot, and I like its scent better than Sharifa Asma. Below bouquet: Large pink is Evelyn, tiny light pinks are Cloudert Soupert, Upper pink is Louis Estes (bi-color). Below is Comte de Chambord Below is Duchess de Rohan (dark pinks, the scent rivals Comte but it has poor repeat). I like Comte way better than Duchess de Rohan: Below is Wise Portia in only 4 hrs. of morning sun Below Wise Portia turns purplish in cold weather, and the scent is best in cold weather. Its scent is WAY BETTER than Twilight Zone: Below is Firefighter, the leaves are very pretty, and upper 1/2 of bush is thornless. In below bouquet, red Firefighter has the best scent (fruity damask), next is orange Versigny (like an apricot pie), and least is Liv Tyler (mothball and sour apricot). One bloom of Firefighter can perfume the entire room .. I can smell it 10 feet away. Firefighter is stronger scent than Mr. Lincoln, and Firefighter gives more blooms....See More- 11 years ago
