TWICE AS LONG? Let me save you from more grief. RULE OF 3's my friends. I plan on my projects to take 3 x longer , cost 3 x more and require 3x more people than planned.
😂 duly noted
I've had chronic migraines and vertigo since I was in a car accident at 10 years old- 20 years now. I've also had issues with passing out and heart palpitations since I was about 14. I'm too stubborn to give up what I love so I've had to figure out how to keep a job at 16 so I could buy a horse and break her, have 6 kids, travel the world, train 2 puppies, keep chickens and goats and now I have my first milk cow due to give birth one month after I will. It's incredibly hard. I'm finally finding treatments that help, but I can't give up living to spend every day in bed. I hope you've completely recovered now and never have to deal with it again.
Dang. This is inspiring. Good on you for not letting it stop you. And I’m glad your finding some helpful treatment.
I have vestibular migraines, that when it flares I have constant vertigo. It is completely disabling. At 34 I have a service dog and a cane for when the vertigo and balance are awful. Even looking at screens when it's bad is impossible. Shows, movies, videos, they just don't happen. Thank you, for sharing so much with us!
Take this suggestion from an old Tree Farmer. For those who have no patience, Life has a way of teaching you Patience. If you understand that, you will be blessed. Take your time as you have no idea how much of it you will get, thus rushing through it leaves very little of it to be enjoyed ! Things will happen only when they are supposed to and not before, so why sweat it?
Wise advice!
one of my worst bouts of vertigo, I can remember laying flat on my back on the livingroom floor, arms outstretched, grasping the carpet, and still felt like I was falling. No way anyone has never had it can fully grasp what it is like.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to thank you for being such great role models for me. I left a note in my sign up for the email list (first name Jackson) yesterday; hopefully you were able to read it! Long story short I am 18 and the only thing I want in life is what you guys have; a beautiful family and a modest homestead. Austin, I don’t have many role models in my life, especially dudes/father figures. I wanted to let you know that you have been one of those to me; I found you guys three years ago when I was beginning to raise meat rabbits, and have watched every video ever since. Your love for your children really comes through in your videos, and I find your dedication and commitment so incredibly admirable. Thank you for modeling this life for me! You have made an incredible difference in this young man’s life. If I can achieve a fraction of what you have in life with your family and work, I will be beyond content. Much love and hope to see you guys one day to thank you in person! Keep us posted on any fan meetup opportunities or public events you guys are speaking at, when you are feeling better! I am praying for you! ❤
🥲 Jackson you got me all choked up here! Find the right partner and it will happen! And when you do send me pics of that homestead!
Yep, Meclazine is the only thing that helps the vertigo for me. Have mild almost every week but then once or twice a year, man, hide out in bed for a full day or two until the Mec takes effect. Feel yer pain. Mine comes from Meniere's Disease (not a real disease, bad name). I can tell you are still feeling it in the way you hold your head. Get better real real soon!
Thanks Joyce, sorry you have it year round! So tough to deal with!
@@Homesteadyshow thank you! Ask your doc for some and keep on hand. Ya never know!
Hi guys, I've been sick for 2 years with constant dizziness, headaches and tired all the time. I've seen neurologist and ENT and they don't know what is wrong. The most likely diagnosis is me/cfs. I can't work or drive, the most I am able to do is look after my chickens, dogs and cats and a small amount of gardening. Fortunately I live in Spain so I get money each month from the government, and had 1.5 years of sick pay from the company I worked for. Glad you are feeling better! Greetings from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
Please don't think I'm a weirdo, but have you lived in the same place that whole time? Because when that happened to me, it turned out I had black mold in my bathroom (that shared a wall with my bedroom). Once we moved it went away after a few months.
Wow. That is awful. So sorry you’ve had it that bad for so long. Especially frustrating is the fact that you have not had clear answers from professionals. I hope you find some answers or relief, and glad you still manage to garden!
My rheumatologist said my dizziness and headaches may be rheumatoid arthritis in the 3 bones that connect in my ear socket.
Sympathize with you having labyrinthitis. Being a viral infection of the inner ear you just have to let it heal and treat the symptoms, dizziness being the worse. Mine is triggered by spring allergies so I had it every year for about 4 years, each year being less and less. Have not had it in years. Hang in there, it does get better. Sending good thoughts.
Write soo glad your not getting it any more Fran!
Building our tiny house has been the same haha. Something always happens or takes longer than expected. I’ve kinda given up on timelines to avoid disappointment.
I’ve had vertigo off and on for 33 years. Nothing the drs tried have helped. Mine is not severe just chronic. It is hard to deal with. May you be completely well soon.
Hmmm. Just had vertigo earlier this year which was very scary...and recently had a cold which now I've had recurring dizziness. Thanks Austin for letting us know about your illness because I was wondering what the heck was wrong with me? Now I know. I hope you all are well now. Take care and have a peaceful Christmas.Good luck in the new year with the homestead building.
I'm sorry y'all have been so sick. Our family is going through it as well. Unreal, it seems like it's never ending for the past 6 weeks!!! Praying we ALL GET TO FEELING BETTER🙏🏼💖
4 years of vertigo. It felt like I was going insane. I hate ticks. ALL the empathy.
I got the flu and fever and have had to rely on my oldest daughter and second oldest son to take care of things around the house. It’s hard to be so immobile and rely on them. But I am thankful they will help.
I've been in the same boat, prayers for good health🙏🏼💖
Hi Austin! After a really bad ear infection as a child I have suffered from vertigo😳 Sickness and gluten really set it off, but the Eplay manoeuvre, an ice pack and strangely enough, jumping on my rebounder helps! It’s a constant problem and I never know when it’s going to hit. The only way I can describe it is that I feel like an astronaut in an antigravity room, with the potential to be sick at any time 🤢 Sure home you feel better soon!
We went through the same thing 2021-2022. We were looking at a creek property vs mountain, we choose mountain and 100% glad we did. Planned on building an off-grid A-frame. Turned out going off-grid costs $40k vs $15k for going on the grid. We decided it wasn't worth the money. The driveway is 2000ft long and was suppose to cost $20k, ended up being $60k. Everything cost more than it was suppose too, always expect to run into problems!! Good to see some other like minded people in PA!
My husband and I are about 3-4 years behind you guys, so we're endeavoring to learn all the things! Water catchment, home types and designing, building, hydropower, all the things! Love following along with your family ❤️. We're currently neighbors of Jack & Jackie (just a few miles away, saw u at the Homesteaders of NE!) And our current plan has us relocating to WV, so your neck of the woods. Keep it up! We're soakin it in as fast as ur puttin it out! Thank you for the entertaining information!
Merry Christmas Aust, Kendra and kids! Hope you all have a wonderful day. Stay warm! And upright!!
Everybody has seems so sick lately, my hubby has it now! Take your time with the house, why rush that's when mistakes happen. God Bless ❤
Glad you are all starting to feel better.
Have had vertigo for years. It comes and goes depending on weather, amount of sleep, stress. It was initially caused by an infection of the inner ear. I suffered as a child from them and then got a really nasty one in my twenties and 💥 Best things to do: lay down in a cool, dark, quiet room. If dizzy, focus on a point in the distance. Put your hands and feet on flat surfaces and tell your brain which way is up and down. Repeat it in your brain until the spinning slows. Ice packs on back of neck. Chiropractor visit s for neck adjustments. Sometimes, you just muscle through it and then sleep. Hope you feel better.
Sssooo it's mid April, where are the videos since dec 2022. Been looking & still no recent videos hope you are all ok. N that that bad check or got you all down really bad...take care ,hopefully we will be seeing you soon again !!!
The solar system - lowering initial cost - is what I hope you will share in detail. Thanks! Y’all do a great job!!
You guys have a great podcast and I love that you are going off grid . We’re semi off grid. You guys are inspiring😊
Hi! I just wanted to say that I started watching you guys over the past couple months and have learned so much about homesteading. I've been slowly taking in as much knowledge as I can to prepare for all my goals of 2023. I started my RUclips homestead channel and have been trying to stay motivated to post our journey. Even if I don't get a lot of views I know that documenting our journey from the start will make me really happy. I hope you guys have a wonderful day. Love from California.
Yay! Keep it up! It can take a while to get traction but if you keep at it you may be surprised where it leads!
I am SO so glad I found your page. My daughter and I are planning to move next year to get my dream of a homestead started. I am searching for everything off grid, so solar, turbine, possibly hydro, greywater systems, rainwater collection, wells, and compostible toilets. Think that covers enough? lol
I can tell you guys are such an amazing team, just from how you look at each other. That is love 💕
I'm in Northeast Pennsylvania, we have had beautiful weather so far. Not sure what awful winter weather so far you have been referring to. There was a couple days of cold and crap but not allot. I'm glad to see you guys ferment your feed. We do it as well and our chicken feed. I take buckets into heat so I don't deal with it freezing.
I feel for you, I contracted it out of nowhere years ago. I went to ER, took about 6 weeks to get over. Best wishes for fast healing
I’m feeling better at about 1 week and a few days, very grateful for that!
So sorry you have all been sick! Our family is about 3/4 through a bug as well. Not fun! Happy to hear the new direction of your house plans! Im also designing our forever home with raised center walls and gable roof. It definitely seems like the most cost-effective design. We have 3yrs until my husband retires from the navy, so I've got plenty of time to get it right! I can't wait to see how yours turns out. I am loving watching you guys go through this process. It sounds so much like what we want to do!
I can hardly wait to see your finished house plans
i had vertigo due to a head injury years ago. I remember the constant sleeping. Also, for a long time i found that if i didnt sleep well or i didnt eat properly that it would return. The wierd thing was that right after the accident i CRAVED split pea soup. Makes you wonder about "brain food". I also found it interesting that my brain knew which way was up as long as i was touching something solid. By touching a wall i could avoid falling. I described the "congestion" feeling in my head as "oatmeal". It felt exactly like my skull was packed with oatmeal.
Oatmeal 😂 yep that’s about right
@@Homesteadyshow This too shall pass
If you watch Grandpa of Adler Farms, he has a pig watering trough With a brick with a heating element in it. If you watch just a couple minutes from his last video & start at 9:05, you can check out his setup.
It's the worst! I had it for a month and it started giving me motion sickness every time I moved my head. I get nervous every time I get dizzy that it'll come back.
Shed Roof is perfect for the Tesla Power Roof with Tesla Wall(s). One story house possibly with a full basement with very high R-Value insulation. Sauna to keep you warm in the winter so you will be able to fight illness. Choose roof angle based on the sun angle at your location. See if Tesla will sponsor all or part of the project.
Vertigo is horrible, I totally get it! Thankfully mine only last about 10 days. I was so ready to get off the rollercoaster. Glad you are starting to feel better. My cousin had it for 3 months, I can't imagine! I hope your family have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!
Love to see your house design. Thanks for your videos. Very informative.
Hey Aust! I had a good laugh when you asked us what we wanted to learn. I just mentioned all those topics in your last video.
#Askhomesteady I'm honestly uneducated on anything electric so I'm extremely interested in learning solar power and what is required for X amount of energy.
Feel better ya'll!
Austin Bowie is the image I needed today.
Aust, and K
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I thank you guys so much for your content, for growing and learning with you guys. Me and my wife watch all your videos. You guys give us true inspiration and set a great example for someone like me raising a family. Love how down to earth you all are and you guys have a great sense of Humor I get a blast laughing with you guys. It’s been a fun journey thus far. Austin keep being awesome and creating great content.
Dude... I know how you feeling. First off I had ear infections a lot as a child that gave me vertigo, but after my accident in 2014, it never goes way, some days its not as bad as others. Sometimes to the point in nauseous... Have to go lay DOWN, some place NOW...!!!
I had vertigo like that from sickness earlier this year. It lasted about a week. I know exactly what you're talking about. It felt really weird because I was mostly fine but I could function because I was so dizzy and tired.
I love you all!
In Nebraska we we hope to graze until the corn is pick then they go out on the stocks about the end of September. We are so dry we had to start feeding bales mid July.
The first time I got vertigo I was unemployed and job searching. It lasted 3 days and I had to interview. I'm sure they thought I was drunk. I really shouldn't have been driving but I needed to find a job. I went through testing at UPMC and was told that it was migraines. I used to suffer from frequent migraine headaches until I had that first encounter with vertigo. Ever since then I never had another migraine headache, but now I get occasional bouts of vertigo. Not fun. I remember the doctor giving me a list of foods that may cause vertigo. I said, "this looks like my shopping list. Not gonna happen. "
Oh man it would be hard to interview with it! Did you get the job?
@@Homesteadyshow nope
I ended up on though
I have had bouts of vertigo. When I was younger I would just fall over. It’s awful. Later in life I just couldn’t function. So sorry.
Grass doesn't grow much after October in Zone 6. Northern Pennsylvania is Zone 5.
After I got knock out by a horse ramming and knocking me down on the ground. I have bouts of vertigo, especially during the winter.
All
from A to Z
septic, plumbing, roofing, framing
everything
I think it will be awesome
I struggled with vertigo for over a year after I had a traumatic brain injury. I couldn't drive, had to take medical leave from work and my masters degree program. I had a hard time even keeping up with basic farm chores. I still deal with dizziness somewhat regularly but am happy to not have vertigo anymore and be back to normal daily living and homesteading.
I’m glad your not dealing with it anymore!
Oh my gosh I'm dying for an update. I'm watching this one a second time lol
Yes I have verago all the time, it's hard to deal with. I hate the cold 🥶🥶🥶 I live in Florida and it's been cold here also.
I do know what you mean, I have meniers disease. it’s very debilitating. If I eat salt, or have stress,the inner sac of my inner ear collects fluids, then I have episodes, which consists of spinning and vomiting at the same time, it lasts from 30 minutes to 3 hours at a time. Meniers is not curable. It started when I was in my early 50’s. I hope you heal really quick, and pray you don’t ever have meniers.
I would have a real hard time with that. Vomiting is the worst. And salt is in everything, that must make every meal that you didn’t make yourself an anxiety mess! So sorry you have to deal with that Donna!
I sent an email through your website regarding building design. It ALWAYS takes longer than you think, especially going through it on your own and for the first time. Good luck and feel free to reach out!
David Mowie cracked me up!!!!
So glad you're starting to feel better now. I haven't had to deal with vertigo luckily, but I had a few years where out of the blue my tinnitus would get so loud that I couldn't hear a conversation, and then things would spin and I would pass out. After coming to on the floor a few times I figured out that when the tinnitus started screaming I had about 30 seconds to get myself horizontal and then I wouldn't pass out and could just wait an hour or so for it to ease and be safe. That was scary enough, let alone everything spinning all the time! So glad K took such good care of you.
I love a shed roof (we call them tin, even though they're zinc lol). I grew up in a house with a flat tin roof. Definitely no loft space. But oh the rain sounded wonderful! My mum's house is called a loft house. It has a tin roof but it's a really steep pitch. The lounge/dining/kitchen area downstairs has cathedral ceilings which look incredible. Then upstairs is a mezzanine which is their bedroom, with double windows in the dormers to extend the floor space. In the corners of the room where the space is getting too low to stand up, they walled off those bits and put in little access doors so she could use them for storage. It works really well. But a big downside of such a steep pitch is that it's really difficult to find people willing to get up there when it needs work. It's beautiful though. My point is, consider a steeper pitch along with all the other things you're looking at.
With that shed roof design that you did, you're very limited with solar panels as once that row is full any extra row won't be in a good position. Is it possible to have it flat at the front (a teeny pitch so water runs off) for a couple of metres so you could have 2 or even 3 rows of solar panels, and then increase the pitch down to the back? You could also put an actual room up there then.
David Mowie… I see what you did there 🤣
@@Homesteadyshow 😁🥸😁🥸😁
Welcome to my world I’ve had vertigo and disembark meant syndrome since 2009. Being seasick every day is not fun and you do not get used to it. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m happy you are well now.
Oh man, that’s such a long time to suffer with this, sorry Susan! Is it all day long for you?
Sorry 😔 I missed you,I'm sick too🥵!
As you know ,I don't have All to do as you 😲.
Man that Verdigo is hell !
Yesterday I felt Great but couldn't get 🤬 You Tube to connect.
Today I feel like poo 🥴.
You'll get there,stay well and warm 💗.
Merry Christmas 🎀🎄☃️.
JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️
I had the same symptom with a sinus infection last year. It eventually passed, but it's really scary.
I am 80 and suffered from vertigo. It only bothered me when I would try to sit up or turn over at night. During the day I was fine. It lasted about 3 months.
We have had good luck with pigs having short metal oval stock tank with electric heater. There are crystals in your ears that can get moved out of there correct spot there by causing vertigo. Trained physical therapist can move your head a certain way a few times takes 5 minutes getting the crystals to go back to the right spot then vertigo is gone.
I would love to see the design I just did my barn home took me a year to finish the plans
For some of your viewers, who have vertigo you can try chiropractic care. I discovered when your C1 and C2 are out of alignment. Vertigo is a symptom a couple of adjustments could really help.
Thanks for sharing good to know!
Austin, try the ”Epley” maneuver
I had that years ago. It’s the worst . Feels like the floor is being pulled from under you it’s awful😊😊😊
I’ve had vertigo off and on for about 5 years. I had to give up dancing, walking distances because I can never predict when it hits. I feel your pain. Doctors don’t seem to care or take me serious, personally I gave up trying to convince them I have an issue. It’s frustrating.
We have had some of the worst doctors over the years. K has brain trouble for a few years and some of the doctors were downright awful. Sorry you’ve had the same experience.
How to avoid mold. I know it's really popular to build a roof with no attic to make lofts but I worry that mold would build up in the insulation and I wouldn't see it happening and how would it be fixed without taking off the whole roof covering.
#askhomesteady - ok, totally serious question for Aust... how do you, as an ENFP like myself, stay focused!? I start to think about designing anything, and the second I hit a point I really need to knuckle down and focus, I get frustrated or bored and I'm on to the next facet of the homestead.
Until I get challenged again 😅
Let go of the time expectation for yourselves? You two put a lot of thought into all the details. That’s a lot of pressure and not very much time!
Lol he had a MAN COLD. There's a little British video explaining what it is. It's probably still on ytube. Glad yall feeling better.
It's exhausting.
I'm sorry but even though I've been trying to keep up with your new homestead videos, I have not been able to find one where it talks about what you decided to actually go with? Specifically, in regards to what sort of building technique you will use..
Also, if someone could put up the URL for the podcasts that would be helpful. It seems like the ones that I found have older episodes and don't cover the new homestead?
Learning about solar would be cool
I would consider building for wind strength. Straight line wind in this country have become stronger. I would not build anything that could not withstand 100 mph straight wind.
I had vertigo. I got to the point I was crawling on the floor. NOT FUN.
oh for those infections ...before they happen, just swallow some raw apple cider vinegar. massage it into your eustation tubes. raw apple cider vinegar is a great go to. even when the first gets the snifflles just use for health
You might need the crystals in your inner ear reset. Did you have a fall? That can do it. There are lots of RUclips videos on the process.
Yes. I used to get lightheaded/dizzy for days after getting colds & bronchitis all the time. I never knew it was called labrynthitis. I did tell doctors about it, but they never gave me a name and disregarded it. It frightened me the first time I got it, but no one cared. I don't get sick as much these last few years, because I take lactoferrin and thymus pills.
It happened to me first 2 years ago after covid, but not this bad! This one was not fun!
I get vertigo every once in a while. I had it bad when I worked as a secretary at a law firm. Went to physical therapy for it. They had me lay on my back, with head hanging into their hands while they massaged the back of my neck.... Basically rubbing fingers from the back hump (I call it) (just below base of skull) up each side going towards back of ears. After a few minutes they'd also massage the rest of my head, but I found that the back of the neck massage worked best. They told me that vertigo is caused by "like" blood vessels getting bunched up at the back of the head and not releasing enough blood flow through the rest of the head. (That is just how I understood them to be saying I'm sure it was much more complicated than that). SO now whenever I feel like I'm getting vertigo I massage my own neck the same way. And I basically cure myself. I hope this helps. OH another thing. My ex-husband used to get migraines and I used a pressure and release technique on him where I'd squeeze his head really hard for like 10-15 seconds and then release it and that also feels good for vertigo massage too as well as massage the whole head. But mostly neck for vertigo will work.
Also vertigo is supposedly caused by stress so.... There's that
I have something called menieres disease and suffer from vertigo, nausea, constant ringing in my ears etc...just feel off balance when I have these episodes. Luckily it comes and goes but is terribly debilitating when it's happening.
Bring the frozen feed indoors where there is heat, and let it defrost. Make some more meanwhile.
I'm sick for the first time this season. Maybe RSV judging by my tight chest cough and not much nasal congestion. Also, first day of winter here has been the coldest day so far. Double digits below zero tonight, and high below zero tomorrow. Yuck!
Oh man, hope you kick it quick! My Sis got that, said it was a nasty one!
I've had it before when my 13yo was about a year old and it kicked my butt. This time I have much better tools to help my immune system, so hoping it's not so bad this time!
Fun fact! Ur not wrong! Before our calendar was hijacked in the 10th century, winter started on the first full moon after the harvest moon! Hence why the real Yule was a MID winter celebration celebrated on the full moon exactly 3 New moon cycles after the harvest full moon, so this years real yule would be January 6th on the full moon exactly 3 new moons after the last harvest full moon...make sense? Dates where added to fall in line with Christian dates that where being implemented on the new calendar. Makes sense that we followed the moon instead of man given dates, so your winter has been validated! 🤣 many blessings to ur family this beautiful season. I find so much comfort in relating with yall. 💞
Yes I got vertigo 26 yrs ago, it comes and goes. I wasn't sick when I came down with it but I was pregnant.
Oh man, 26 years!
@@Homesteadyshow For some reason it gets worse during summer months, when it's hot out. ?
That comment about Aust not being a fully functioning human hit home hard as it’s a thought that crossed my mind a lot recently. My partner has been struggling for many years with a number of health issues, both physical and mental, as well as unemployment (the result of poor mental health and a bad break up before we met) and substance abuse. We’ve overcome so much together since. He’s been holding down a stable job with great pay and conditions for over 5 years now and he quit alcohol over two years ago, but in addition to his ongoing depression, GAD, breathing problems and addiction to pain killers and, intermittently, nicotine, he developed severe panic attacks over the last few months. These used to be relatively isolated to family holidays, travelling and hangovers, but for many months now he’s had panic attacks every day and it’s been utterly debilitating. He’s on antidepressants already which haven’t helped and he’s resisting going to therapy as he says he’s tried it in the past and does not think it would help. I’m very reluctant for him to try Benzodiazepines due to their addictive nature and am encouraging him to talk to our GP about at least reviewing his medication and asking for a referral for CBT, but when he’s feeling bad he says he cannot deal with going through the process and when he feels good, he doesn’t think he needs it/ that it’s a waste of money. But for every good month, we have 3-6 bad months due to these various issues. I’ve been at his side for more than 7 years now and have so many hopes and wishes for our future together (including marriage, children, our own house together) and which he says he shares, but I’m starting to realise that we’re dealing with chronic disorders and that he may never be well enough to deal with additional responsibility. I’m supporting him as best as I can, but it’s been very isolating. I can’t talk to friends or my mother as they would tell me to leave. I can tell they already worry. My job is very stressful with objectively more pressure and significantly longer hours, but the vast majority of household chores and maintenance falls to me, so I often feel drained and wonder if he’ll ever get better and be a ‘fully functional’. I haven’t quite been able to accept that he may never be able to be well enough to contribute more equally or deal with the additional responsibility of children and a mortgage. I know his illness is not his fault, I just don’t know if I can give up on my dreams for the future just to be with him.
I’m so sorry to hear what you two have been going through. You have been an amazing partner, I do truly hope there is a positive change in your future! I had Lyme disease years ago that caused panic attacks, it was so scary. I was so grateful that K was at my side and helped me get through it. Once I was treated for Lyme the panic attacks stopped. I hope you can have a positive change, seems like you’ve earned it!
@@Homesteadyshow Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot. I never thought of Lyme disease but it’s something to investigate. I hope you’re doing ok and recovering fast.
You have a beautiful family and built a wonderful life together- thank you for sharing. Wishing you all the very best for your house build- whatever shape roof :)
@@sophiegae I can recommend Medicine with Heart in Lakewood, CO. For help with a good diagnosis. They are 2 very caring Functional Medicine holistic practitioners. They are helping a loved one, who's had chronic Lyme Disease for many years. If $ is an issue, they will work with you. They treat/ deal with more than Lyme. Might be worth getting more info. They work with many people in many different States thru tele-health/virtual visits & local labs. I wish you both well.
Vertigo is horrible. I’ve had it since I was 15, now I’m 58. Pills really help, if not I would never have a semi-normal life. You never know when the next episode will hit.
And yes vertigo is rough. Struggled with it on and off. I have found by accident NAC helped me tremendously. Of course this is not medical advice and the best advice for you comes from your health practitioner.
🤔 hmm… interesting. Heard of it, gonna learn more.
How about a loft off of the loft so there won't be a 30ft ceiling
I'm late to the party, but I'd love to watch a homesteader with a large family design a fully accessible house. Imagine if one of your family were in a wheelchair, even temporarily. How would that person live in your house? What if it's one of the adults - how do you feed and manage your animals?
I really want to watch someone else deal with these ideas.
A rule that frequently comes true. Three possible results, only allowed two. Cheap, quality or quickly . You get two and lose the other, your choice.
Your symptoms made me think of my husband's recent bout of vertigo / head fog, and he asked if 1.) are you "one of those people who can flex their jaw and make a rumbling sound in their ears" (I am not one of those people, so I know nothing of that)? and then 2.) If when you had the labyrinthitis and did that, did it make the vertigo go extra crazy?
1- maybe? I can do movements with my jaw that make ear sounds. 2 they were one in the same, I don’t normally have vertigo, the labyrinthitis caused it.
I would like to propose the possibility that a lack of regular contact with the community is actually bad for your immune system. I am pro homeschooling, but your children and you need activities outside of just the family that involve contact in an effort to promote herd immunity. I would recommend classes in things such as jiu jitsu/other martial arts and gymnastics. Just a suggestion, I'm only 24 and don't claim to know much of anything.
I have tinnitus and vertigo with it at times. It is awful
Oh my what a combination. So sorry you have to deal with that!
The flu rug year iis awful. I was out 2 and a half weeks
10ft ceilings. 10ft ceilings. Don’t make the 8ft ceiling mistake.
My biggest question is how you build for your family now but also for your family in 20years
Twice on vertigo. Horrible!! Felt drunk without the carefree fun part!!
Get well prayers for you all. May God restore the (years that the canker worms ate) weeks that the labyrinth colds put you down.
You learn to live with vertigo. You learn to live with the things you can't do any more. It's not fun. But you can live with a lot of things going wrong in your life and it's not fun but you learn to live with it.
