Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That’s great you can do that there, here in north eastern Ohio we don’t get enough sun to invest in solar. We get more power from potatoes, like in our 8th grade science class, than from the sun.
Kevin are you waking around with probes in your head . Oh you say potatoes 🥔 sorry ! 🤭

Welcome to the Smorgasbord family! Have you shared your name with us? I have gotten migraines since I was 16 I take a preventive that has helped me get them less often but sometimes when I get a really bad one that none of my meds help the only thing that helps is to sleep them off.
Yes im Bobby. Hope you get relief soon. Keep getting options and ask after own research. Pubmed is a good resource and scholarly articles
 
Thanks Chris, I’m so frustrated! I spoke to my family doctor, he gave me some home things to do and is calling in an order for bloodwork. I don’t know if I have any more views left , they went into both hands at least 6 times each and they are both swollen. I got orders from my boss, she’s at the hospital working, to call the nephrologist and GI office which I’ll do. I need to do a water change!!!!!!!!! And wash the nitrate and phosphate traps called socks.
So sorry Kevin . That sucks . Are you going back to the hospital . Is it something you’re eating or drinking that is triggering it ?

I hope I’m not going back but I will if I have to, I’ve kinda grown attached to my kidneys over the years and bottomed out potassium and sodium is no beuno for my ticker. I’m sure my employer isn’t going to be pleased but it is what it is, we’ll see.

The employer can like it or lump it as far as I'm concerned! Your health is way more important than a job.
 
I've heard of Santa Cruz turning people to idahos.... but never the other way around.
Good morning! Glad you made it over to the Smorg
 
Off to save people from cancer today. Chances are good for no reactions today with clear sky's and no rain in sight. Plus I'm chilling for another 20 min till the schedule starts
Hey Bobby, are you a nurse?
 
Have you been put on pure oxygen to help with the headaches? A cousin of mine suffered with what is referred to as "cluster migraines" for years. He would experience warning signs before they hit. Nothing helped when he would get them. They would wipe him out. Then, one of his doctors told him that he should give pure oxygen a try. It worked for eliminating the headaches. When he experiences the warning signs, he starts the oxygen and it has yet top fail him. It's been roughly 10-12 years since his he began this with great success.
Nitrous is more fun though

But I like to buy corals. 😢
