The problem comes is the suggestion of travelling to destination X (in your case, the Bahamas) doesn’t just pop up out of thin air - friends may have travelled there recently, perhaps there has been a recent advertising push, etc.

Another family member looking up some destinations to travel, then speaking with you later - same external IP of the home wifi being reported, bam you get advertised the destinations they looked at the most.

Choosing a “random” topic again also doesn’t come out of thin air.

Last I heard 2035 was already going to be pretty crap, 2050 was unlivable.

As other comments have said, deal with the origin of the pain first, THEN…

If it’s bad enough to take meds but not too bad, then one 500mg paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen (my go to for pain). The paracetamol will generally be one with some caffeine in it.

If it’s a BAD headache, then 900mg aspirin.

I do have a headache hat which is kept in the fridge.

Don’t get into stranger’s cars, and don’t give out your real name or number or address on the internet.

Now you do most of these things when you call an uber. 😅

Not just that but I’ve seen posts mocking the captain for being a lesbian, and wokeness for why the boat crashed.

For anyone worried about this, you can ask for a bite block.

Antibiotics and other prescription medications are more often prescribed to older folks, so the increase should be seen in those populations, not primarily more in younger populations. It is unlikely that antibiotics or other similar medical interventions are responsible for the phenomenon seen in the op article.

Also, as a prescriber, I do warn my patients of the dangers of taking antibiotics willy nilly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Get a proper sleep study, see an ENT and sleep physician, if you are overweight lose some, sleep on your side.

Snoring is produced by soft tissues vibrating when they flop where they shouldn’t (i.e., blocking airway).

It is thus indicative of reduced airflow, which can result in negative health outcomes - including yes, brain damage. The full condition is called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but there are other conditions like upper airway resistive syndrome.

From the pictures I see online, it looks like an over the counter mandibular advancement splint (MAS). MAS are used for management of OSA, but only per the prescription of a sleep physician, who needs the results from a sleep study as well as an examination of the patient.

Not all OSA sufferers will tolerate let alone benefit from a MAS. There are drawbacks and side effects with a MAS that may not be discussed with all patients, let alone purchasers of an OTC product.

I have a custom fitted one, and even as someone in the industry, I find there are certainly limitations to it.

Putting aside whether it’s normal for you to be experiencing aging so early*, you should still see another PCP because they didn’t manage your actual concern: “I am experiencing issues functioning day to day life, and would like a plan to manage this”.

It would have been one thing if the doctor had said “yup, just you, so let’s get you into an assisted living arrangement now”, or “I’m fairly certain this is just your shitty genes, but to rule out anything else, let’s send you for X tests and see the Y specialist”.

From your post, it doesn’t sound like that was the case.

*The joke goes that after thirty you don’t get injured, you get permanent disabilities.

Not sure how much it will bother you but I’m certain they’ll be found on AliExpress and eBay.

Maybe even a dollar store, it seems the sort of thing they’d carry.

The original link I sent is an automotive store, the kind that sells oil and wipers and towball accessories. Maybe you have something like that near you?

Oh I’m sure you’ll find similar products elsewhere. It was just the first listing that came up for me for whistle key finder.

Weird I’m in nordvpn in Australia and no issue.

Whistle and it beeps… Apparently.

I’m in healthcare, and often work with children. It doesn’t matter if they do or don’t understand something, they don’t have the emotional regulation to continue with something uncomfortable.

I don’t blame parents wanting to increase the sleepiness of a child prior to something like a long plane trip.

8+ is the age I see the majority of children being able to grin and bear it, and to be reasoned with.

This reminded me that ages before the era of connectivity, there existed these: https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-Range-by-Brand-at-Autobarn/Mdi/MDI-Whistle-Key-Finder---FZ-WKF/p/AC40602?srsltid=AfmBOoqqJ-QOeARB80pErKGSuJRtyjsPiMNpZdeKClSKn8s7IIHhfBfr

I never got one, but I wonder how effective they might be. I also can’t whistle for shit, so…

Suspect Sonarr users didn’t have any issues, as it wouldn’t have gone looking for an episode 9.
