I feel bad for laughing at Gandalf yelling in tongues at a building sized inflatable shark, but damn that got me. Hope the guy is doing well now.

Im taking doctor prescribed D2 and B12 along with Folic acid. My blood work always shows those as being low so maybe there is something to this. Ill have to bring it up to my doc next time, thanks!

Im hearing that meds only sorta help quite a bit in this thread. It sucks that they aren’t more effective for people, but it does make me feel better about my situation. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your thoughts on this! Ill be honest, I don’t eat the healthiest and that has been something my doctors have brought up. Trying to figure out what is triggering me sounds daunting, but I will most likely have to do this at some point. Why do our bodies have to be so dumb sometimes? lol

I keep holding out hope that there will be some kind of magic bullet cure, but the more I hear from people, the more I’m starting to think Ive just got normal, bad allergies. Thanks for the reply! The (gross) comment you made, is something ive dealt with a few times this year, so that makes me feel better…in a gross kind of way, lol.

I have noticed that the first week or two that im on a new med, It feels like its working better. Maybe there is something going on where your body gets used to the medicine its on, and switching helps? IDK, I’ll have to ask my Doctor next time. TY!

That’s a great analogy. It really puts things into perspective that its a combo of many things, not just a couple. Ive stopped all meds a few times since this started and i felt like I was gonna die, so they are for sure helping to some degree. Thanks for your insight!

Your story sounds a lot like mine tbh. Thats what prompted me to make this post is wondering if its semi common to find out about allergies later in life. Thanks for your reply!

Hmm, Ive never been to Vegas before… maybe its worth a trip now, lol.

I actually have 4 air purifiers in my room and keep it surgically clean since this whole thing started. I do shower in the morning though, so thats a hot tip. Ill try at night and see if that helps! Ive pretty much been doing everything but the allergy shots at this point. Committing to 3-6 years of shots kind of sucks, but thats why i was asking here. Thanks for the reply!

Interesting with the food allergy thing. Ive had that a few times in my life but its not a consistent thing for me. Thanks!

The first games that popped into my head were Forager and Outpath, though these arent so much community building type games. They are more just something cute to relax to. They have farming and resource collecting and honestly play more like an active idler game than anything. Another game ive sunk tons of time into that kinda meets your requirements is Banished. Its just a medieval city builder game but it is deceptively hard to get a good balanced town going which can be pretty rewarding in itself. Theres no money per se but you do have to manage resources. Theres bartering in the game but you use your resources like crops and stone and stuff.

I know OP said they would go talk to their neighbor but I just wanted to add an anecdote. I worked at a place that had a bunch of trailers, and it wasn’t uncommon for someone to need a vehicle and just leave the trailer in the parking lot. One time someone didn’t secure it and it started to roll. A new guy who was trying to be the hero went to stop it and got his thumb crushed between the trailer and a steel beam of a pavilion. He ended up loosing his thumb. So yeah, chock your trailers and don’t try to catch a run away one.

Live, Laugh, Poop

I finally picked up Witcher 3 for like 4 bucks. Excited to start playing that. I also got Euro Truck Simulator because it was like 1.99 and seems like a chill space out game.

Gardenias. My grandmother had a huge gardenia tree/bush monstrosity that my mom took a cutting off of when grandma died. That cutting turned into the same tree bush monstrosity in my backyard.

Ive always read that as Shake/ing My Head, as well.

The Harry Potter films. I just finished HalfBlood Prince this evening.

O’Neill, his back-swing interrupted.

I haven’t tried it personally, but https://deoldify.ai/ might be an option. Though, it seems more geared towards colorizing than restoring.
