    Feels Like the Bed is Shaking

    It has springs. I never felt this sensation until this week and 2 nights in a row. All I can come up with is I started taking Lion's Mane Mushroom about a week ago to try to improve my memory. In looking at the container, it says Support Nerve Growth Factor, supports cognitive health, and...

    Feels Like the Bed is Shaking

    This is a post from others who have experienced this. Other than reptilian aliens, grays, or beings from another dimension, no good answers. https://www.isitnormal.com/post/is-my-bed-shaking-or-am-i-losing-my-mind--92422

    Feels Like the Bed is Shaking

    I have 2 blocks that keep my bed about 4" from the wall. I checked my heart rate right after it happened and it was 57. Sometimes my heart seems to beat hard, but it wasn't when this happened. I didn't notice it last night, but I had really weird dreams. Last night I dreamed I was in Russia...

    Feels Like the Bed is Shaking

    My sleep has been off the last few days with waking around 3 am and being wide awake, so I get up. About 9 am I get sleepy so go back to bed for a nap. Yesterday morning and this morning, I'm laying in bed, half asleep, and it feels like the bed starts shaking. Whether I am really shaking or...

    Thanks. I was doing some more reading last night and found another variable - happiness. The concepts of pleasure and pain seem to be what gets us to start (or not), but happiness is what keeps us going. Sometimes we seem to make conscious decisions about pleasure/pain/happiness and sometimes we...

    Exactly. So what is it that gets you to go for a run when you really don't feel like doing it? What is it that makes you sometimes go for a run and sometimes sit on the couch? What influences your decision? What, if anything, could make you always decide to go for a run?

    To me, self-motivation is overcoming inertia. If you love playing golf, it doesn't take much, if any motivation, to play 18.

    That is an example of what I think motivation is. The short version of my theory is something in your belief system changed. Something that at one point in time was viewed with more pain than pleasure, changed to something that was more pleasure than pain. Having kids to raise and the need for...

    To me, that would be a choice and not necessarily self-motivation. If I decide to travel for 6 months in my RV is that self-motivation? Now if I didn't want to go and I did it for my significant other, maybe that would require self-motivation. Not arguing, just trying to get to what motivation...

    If they are both running for President because that is what they really want to do, is that really self-motivation?

    I've got a question for you all. I'm trying to write a blog post on self-motivation and the more I research, the more confused I get. Psychiatrists and psychologist define motivation be describing what happens when someone is motivated. The neuroscientists define motivation by what happens in...

    Surgical procedure or Transcather mitral valve replacement for low risk patient

    I researched this before having TAVR last year. My interventional cardiologist assured me there was no need for the filter. Partner 1A was more than 10 years ago and used 1st generation valves with only seriously ill patients participating in the trial. There was a problem with the early...

    VitD and bio AVR

    This is a duplicate thread of vitamin d posted in Small Talk.

    Vitamin D

    I had something similar happen, but with my real aortic valve. I don't know for sure, but I believe the vitamin d added to the problem. What I have since learned is that vitamin d and vitamin k work together, and that magnesium also needs to be taken. Vitamin d helps your body absorb calcium...

    Seeking advice re changes in my heart and energy

    That's a good point. Everyone needs to become their own detective and become aware of changes in how they feel and what may have caused the change. What makes it extra hard is we are all different. In addition to being normally different, I think many of us are probably outliers, so scientific...

    Seeking advice re changes in my heart and energy

    My energy is very tied to my diet. Even though I know I shouldn't eat wheat, I keep going back to it because foods made from wheat are so convenient. I haven't had any for over a week and my mood and energy are starting to increase. Any foods that cause inflammation might affect your energy...

    You could put a big artificial pumpkin full of candy on the porch with a sign that says We Have to Isolate Ourselves, But Please Take 1 Each. When it runs out turn off the light.
