  • This frightens me because I've had considerable pain in my throat from trying to stifle a sneeze. I never realized I could actually hurt myself doing that.

    YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • I went nine times. I don't think I needed to keep going but I kept agreeing to the next appointment lol. My HSA covered it at least. Except for the first few appointments I'd go once a month. I don't plan on going again for now.

    YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • Everyone will have different experiences. Going to a chiropractor helped me with my posture in the long term. After my first visit it was no longer uncomfortable to stand up straight. I used to have this lump in the back of my neck and whatever they did made that go away. I did initially go for back pain and I can't say if the visits helped with back pain in the long term but the adjustment did help me with my posture.

    Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
  • I use a cheap, lower end Fitbit. I like the cheap one because it's low profile, the screen is nice and small.

    I do use it for time constantly but the other features are nice too. I can read, but not reply, to texts. I'm notified of an incoming call. I do use the step counter and hourly activity reminders to make sure I move enough at my sedentary job. The stopwatch feature is great for in-between sets at the gym. I like knowing my heart rate too when I'm working out.

    Defenders of oatmeal
  • I eat oatmeal most mornings and for years I hated it until I figured out how I like it. This is my formula and it works for me.

    Old fashioned oats (quick oats are fine too)
    Peanut butter power
    Truvia brown sugar

    I use tap water and only just enough. I like my oats thick and not mushy. Just enough water that it's not crunchy.

  • I put in only a little water to make mine thicker. It helps a lot with the texture

    How do you work full-time and stay awake all shift?
  • First things first, do you get enough sleep at night?
    I work a desk job and do consistently get pretty drowsy around 2pm. I find that eating a lighter lunch and moving around keeps me awake. Take a walk around the building or something, it's bad for you to sit all day long anyways. I drink an energy drink every day as soon as I get in but I don't know what effect, if any, it has on my afternoon drowsiness.

    People of Lemmy! How to get fit?
  • I'm a woman who just wanted to be strong and I found that hiring a personal trainer was best for me. Not only do they tell you what to do but they walk you through the exercises. Having good form is really important.

    Most people rather be electronically shocked than left alone with their thoughts?
  • Ok, but how painful is the shock? If it's only mildly uncomfortable then this isn't surprising at all.

  • I'm seeing a lot of confused voters on Facebook and Nextdoor and I want to do my best to convince them to vote no. Unfortunately, they are willing to give up their voting power just to spite people who are in favor of preserving the right to abortion.

    Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for forums. Maybe it would clutter up the comments. What do you all think?
