    Detergent pods

    Well, one benefit to them is the lack of weight for older people as I mentioned earlier, but also, you can truly measure out how much you are using. I know the lids have lines, but when you're pouring that out, you don't get all of the detergent out of those bottles, so with each one, you are...

    Coconut oil

    Currently, I only use it for my hair, but I am thinking about starting to use it for cooking. But, even if I don't, the benefits that I've received with my hair is more than enough.

    Dry eyes

    One thing that has helped me from time to time is simply making a concerted effort to blink. There are times when you don't even realize that you are trying to keep your eyes open, outside of the normal blinking, that you don't start giving them a break by consecutive blinking until they start...

    Severe cramps

    I'm saying that fibroids can cause that kind of pain, especially if it's something that has developed recently. I could be wrong, but I've never known of anyone that has severe menstrual cramps without it being a little more than just cramping or from the very beginning of their menses.

    Overwhelmed

    Okay! You've seen what it is that you were doing to trip yourself up and now you have your ducks in a row. Just chip away at everything and even if you don't officially start another project, you can take an hour break away from your current ones to brainstorm on a new one. That will help you...

    Severe cramps

    You aren't having cramps, you are most likely having the side effects of fibroids in your uterus. It may not require surgery to ease the pain, but you need to find out the cause so you can see all of what your options are to reduce the pain.

    Detergent pods

    Ohiotom, I think you may have gotten something a little different from the actual pods. OP, the new pods are very good. I bought them for my mother months ago and she's not going to use anything else. It helps that she is older and that they are easier for her to deal with as far as weight...

    Overwhelmed

    I'm glad what I suggested sounds like it can help you. Realize that the list doesn't immediately get done and the flowchart isn't a bad thing. Not trying to make a list or a flowchart because you don't believe it will done is a problem. Make the first list and flowchart and start working on it...

    Overwhelmed

    If they are things that can truly be done quicker if you did them yourself, then hurry up and do them. Get them off your list and move on with the rest of the things on your plate. Don't waste time with trying to get someone to do what they are supposed to do. It's a distraction that you just...

    Overwhelmed

    It could be all of those things. So, what you should do is to take a step back and look at all of it. Are these things that can be prioritized? Are they things that can be broken up into shifts or smaller tasks? Are they things that really need to be done or can only be done by you? Are you...

    Smiling and Stress

    Well, your link doesn't lead to anywhere, but I can definitely believe that smiling helps. If nothing else, it takes your mind off of the stress and your insistence to try to keep calm. The smile will help you and may even turn into a bit of a chuckle. I've done it.

    Need kick in butt

    Don't think of it as a moment of relaxation, but perhaps, focus on something that you are trying to attain. If you are religious, use it as a time to talk to your deity. If you are hyper, use it as that time in which your mind won't race. Make it something different from what you feel that you...

    Chiropractor.

    I would tell you to not go. I think there is about 1 in 50 good ones and I've heard more horror stories than I've heard success stories from people that made the mistake of dealing with them. I didn't work in medical insurance, but in auto insurance and they aren't the first choice. The other...

    TMJ?

    Did they say it was something that you were born with or did they attribute any learned behaviors to the symptoms? You yourself said that it gets worse during stress, so are you doing things with your teeth or jaw during those times that increase the pain? I can see being more susceptible to it...

    TMJ?

    That's interesting. I've never heard of it being a genetic thing or something that could be considered hereditary. Everything I've read has made it sound as if it is a learned behavior that could be broken. I guess they've added more examples to the definition.

    Skin flap

    No, a doctor better not pull on a skin tag. A doctor cut my mother's off, but I told her way before she went to just pull it off as it literally looked like a cherry with a stem on her face, but dramatically smaller. The stem part of her tag looked so thin, that I didn't think it would bother...

    Ants and Peppermint Spray

    I've never had an issue with ants, but it's a remedy that I've been reading about more and more, so I figure it couldn't hurt to try it if you need it and pass it on if you know the suggestion. It's got to be one of the cheapest, simplest and safer methods that I have heard of.

    Best Laundry Detergent?

    Oh, I definitely put more than needed as I like the strong smell. I love sniffing my clothes, so it's something that I've always done and I also know that my clothes are clean. But, there will never be a time when I will crank up a washing machine, throw in clothes and not have some detergent in...
