Vertigo Treatment: How to Caring for the Loved One Who Suffers From Vertigo

If you know someone with who you have a relationship with vertigo it is easy to feel the pain. Imagine the feeling you get spinning around for a long time suddenly you start to feel dizzy. Vertigo sufferers might experience episodes that come on abruptly. They could feel dizzy, nauseated, and have headaches or feel a general feeling of fatigue. It can impact their overall health as well as their…

Natural Remedies For Vertigo: Find Relief Without Medication

Vertigo is a spinning sensation that can make you feel dizzy and disoriented. While prescription medications can sometimes help, many people prefer to try natural remedies first for relief from vertigo symptoms. Here are some top natural vertigo treatments to consider.

Ginger and Ginger Tea

Ginger has been used for centuries to ease nausea and vomiting associated with vertigo attacks. The compounds gingerol and shogaol in ginger help relax stomach muscles and have anti-inflammatory effects. Try drinking ginger tea, taking ginger supplements, or eating ginger candies to quell vertigo.

Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can contribute to feelings of dizziness and imbalance. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and avoid diuretics like alcohol and caffeine that promote dehydration. Hydrating with electrolyte drinks may also help.

Get Enough Vitamin D

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to vertigo and balance issues. Spend some time outdoors in the sunshine or take a vitamin D supplement to ensure you're getting adequate amounts. Fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods are also good dietary sources.

Try Cayenne Pepper

The active component in cayenne pepper, capsaicin, may help relieve vertigo by improving blood flow. Add a dash of cayenne to meals or take it in supplement form. Go slowly at first, as too much can upset your stomach.

Explore Herbal Remedies

Certain herbs have been used traditionally to combat dizziness and vertigo. Ginkgo biloba, for instance, is thought to increase blood circulation to the brain and inner ear. Other options are horse chestnut and hawthorn extract.

Focus on Your Posture

Poor posture can aggravate vertigo by disrupting the vestibular system that controls balance and spatial orientation. Be mindful of sitting and standing up straight. Certain exercises like yoga may also improve posture and relieve vertigo.

Get Enough Sleep

Not getting sufficient high-quality sleep can make vertigo worse and increase the likelihood of dizzy spells occurring. Create a calming nighttime routine and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Manage Stress Levels

High levels of stress are linked to a higher risk of vertigo episodes. Find ways to reduce anxiety and relax your mind and body through meditation, deep breathing, aromatherapy, and other stress relief techniques.

The next time a bout of vertigo strikes, try turning to these natural remedies before reaching for medication. With some patience and experimentation, you may find natural solutions that effectively minimize your vertigo symptoms.

"Sick Day" — a Suptober ficlet

Day 21: Cozy Treat

Summary:

Human!Cas forces Dean to take a sick day in the bunker.

Now that Castiel knows how it feels to be human, he insists on caring for Dean with far more attention than is necessary when Dean catches the flu.

He’s certain it came from the haunted preschool he and Sam had investigated a few days back in Nebraska. (All the kids safe. All the adults… mostly safe.) He’d come home grumbling about how those places are little petri dishes for germs, and voila, now he’s on day three of a full-raging flu.

If Cas had his angel mojo back, he’d zap the germs right out of Dean’s body, and that’d be damn nice right about now. But as it is, Cas has been using the Internet to find all the home remedies for illness, and he’s overly concerned about Dean’s wellbeing to the point where it’s just kind of annoying.

Cas forces Dean to stay back when Sam heads out to investigate something a few towns over; he wants to protest because dammit, Sam is the one with the fucking angel healing him inside his body! He’s the one who almost died! But a coughing fit and Castiel’s gentle hand pushing him back down onto his bed ended the argument.

It does feel damn good to be in one place, especially when he’s sick. Last time anyone made him chicken soup and let him lay in bed all day watching TV, he was four, off from school for the day, just a few weeks before everything went to shit.

It’s kind of nice, the way Cas has been putzing around him, heating up soup from a can, making him tea, remembering the times and dosages of the over-the-counter medicine he’d brought home for him. (And Dean had told him that it was not likely, in the course of one illness, that he’d blow through seven boxes of DayQuil, but it was good that Cas stocked them up.)

Now, Cas peers around the bedroom doorway and Dean hits the mute button, looking up from his fortress of tissues. “Dean,” he says carefully, taking a step into the room.

“Hmm?”

“There is a… slight issue.”

Dean jumps up out of bed, giving himself a moment of vertigo, but in his experience, slight issue means serious endangerment to both life and limb. “What happened?”

“Well, in the cookbook that I found…”

Dean curses. “Dammit, those Men of Letters cookbooks are crazy, Cas,” he says. Many of them just indicated, rather than specific amounts of ingredients, to add sprinkles or dashes or season to your heart’s content . Dean knows – he’s read through most of them in his pursuit to break in this new kitchen of theirs, to make the bunker a home.

“I understand that now,” Cas says, hedging as he follows Dean down the hallway, though Dean lurches a bit to the side as his stuffed head continues to fight off dizziness. And despite his clogged nose, he can still smell–

“Did you burn something, Cas?” he demands, turning the corner into the kitchen to see the charred remains of what seem to have been cookies, sitting in a pan on top of the stove.

“Only a bit,” Cas says, and Dean barks a genuine laugh.

“Only a bit?” He taps his finger to one of the cookies. “This is a hockey puck. How long did you cook ‘em?”

“Well, the recipe said ‘high temperatures’ until ‘cooked well’ so… I just turned the oven on as high as it goes.”

Dean balks. “Okay, that’s the issue then.” He picks up the cookie and hits it against the counter. It sounds like a hammer.

“Is there any way to salvage them?” Cas asks, looking guilty and a bit desperate. And Dean knows that Cas likely knows the answer – no, there’s no coming back from this. But he also knows that Cas is probably more upset with his lack of mojo at the moment than anything else. Used to be, he could just make cookies with a flick of the wrist. Now he’s fighting vague old recipes and a 60 year old oven.

“Not really,” Dean says, trying to be gentle, to let him down easy. “Why’d you wanna make cookies anyway, you can get ‘em from the store, you know.”

“Well, I found a list on the Internet for how to take care of someone who's sick. Number one said that you might be comforted by a cozy treat,” Cas admits. “And cookies were on the top of the list. It said that they were the easiest to make.”

Dean doesn’t hide his smile. Maybe it’s the meds, maybe he’s just tired, maybe he’s… happy. Genuinely happy. “It’s okay, Cas. You don’t have to do anything. I’m just glad you’re here takin’ care of me – ‘cozy treat’ or no.”

Cas smiles a bit, and then Dean says, “Well, what’s the next item on the list? After the cozy treats?”

Cas pulls out his phone again to peer at it, and Dean sees a blush spread across his cheeks. “Ah. We can skip this one, it says uh, cuddling can be helpful.”

Dean raises his eyebrows. “Well. Always worth a try, yeah?”

And yep, he’s definitely hopped up on these meds, but he doesn’t really mind.

HOME | 1 of 2 SERVINGS — JJ MAYBANK x OC [Fall Randoms] 🤎

A/N: This wasn't planned! The fandom makes it a little unenjoyable to write for this show but I like many have always had a soft spot for JJ. So here I am, after a while writing something because he deserves it.

WARNINGS: Language + better endings (delusions)! & the usual banter between the rest of the pogues like a family would! + Kiara x femOC as well.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ .𖥔

IN A PERFECT WORLD no one would have to worry about a thing. People would live exactly the way they want to live without any judgment—as long as you’re not harming others of course—and just go on about their business.

Life’s good because it all worked out in the end.

The comforting thudding of a certain heartbeat only made Alma want to bury her head further into his chest. It was a common morning routine, waking up in each other’s embrace. The insomnia didn’t bother Alma much anymore, she can speak for herself on that, because the longer she stayed awake, the longer time she had. This journey through earth goes by as fast as you blink. This bothered JJ to his core, that after all this time, Morocco was still on her mind—not only that but Portugal too.

No amount of pills or melatonin (or "the purple devil," she liked to call it) was a friend of Almabelle Layton’s. Unfortunately in her teen years she was a bit of a pill popper, it all started because of her mild case of vertigo and her mother—whenever she decided to fly back into the OBX for a couple of days—forced her to go to the doctor, after getting tired of her daughter constantly choosing weed over “proper” health.

Alma was a huge advocate for natural remedies, knowing that majority of the medicine given to you is nothing but poison, since it may fix one problem but cause another.

We can talk about that at another time, though!

Regardless she’s grown used to being up with the moonlight and sunrise just monitoring JJ’s heartbeat. It wasn’t healthy by any means, she didn’t need a therapist (Dr. Montague) to tell her that but this brought her relief. Every morning, JJ would squeeze her shoulder and kiss the top of her head, voice full of sleep while he wished her a good morning.

Then she would respond with pressing a kiss to the old wounds of his abdomen from five years ago, 1-4-3 times before lifting her head to meet his hues of blue-green. The hand that didn’t hold onto her shoulder, would run a thumb along the rings underneath her eyes. He’d tried to hide the worry in his own but a soft smile was still on the corner of his lips the longer he looked at her.

She always had his heart so he felt like she didn’t have to listen too hard.

Never in a million years would JJ believe you (Reader) or a physic? If they told him this is where his life would be now. Owner of two properties, with his childhood home being transformed into an adoption agency. However with the treacherous adventure to get the blue crown, and all that they went through to get it back, it was only right that he did something that made sense.

JJ talked about it constantly with Alma and even mentioned it to the rest, who were skeptical but once it was pulled off, there were equal amounts of pride in their eyes at the grand opening. So where was his physical home? JJ got the Genrette home after the whole DNA testing process and the will was brought to his attention.

Let’s just say, shout-out to Paw-Wes!

“Is it weird that I’m choosing this place over my own home?” Alma remembers JJ asking her, after she plopped down on one of the old couches and tried not to inhale any dust.

He was walking all around the heavily decorated living room, touching any and everything. This was the day right after he agreed to take on the Genrette residence permanently.

Alma lightly shook her head, her short dark hair falling into the corner of her eyelashes, “No, I think you’re choosing what’s best for you and there’s nothing wrong with that. You get the chance to choose now because baby JJ didn’t, your mother didn’t.”

And there’s a new glint in his eye at Alma’s words when he plops beside her. Her hand goes to rest on top of the one JJ has resting on his knee. Immediately he intertwined their hands, peering into Alma’s ink colored eyes. “Thanks for being here with me, Kit.”

“Course, pumpkin.” She replies with her own personal nickname, before resting her head on his shoulder.

Building a home here, gave JJ the chance to know a family he never had the privilege to. It was a ball of emotions but he took it on because he felt like he needed to. A new beginning on his own terms this time around. To try to be close to what could have been, but also finding what always felt like what was missing in his life and holding on to it as best as he could. Although they couldn’t be physically here, JJ made it his mission to have talks with both Larissa and Wes out in the mausoleum often.

That was a project Alma took on, cleaning it up while paying her respects. It was sort of a birthday gift to JJ and once received, he thought he couldn’t love Almabelle anymore than he already did. Of course he could have paid someone to continue with the upkeep of his relatives but the pogues weren’t meant to accept handouts. It was all work hard and play hard. Being an investor in the adoption agency (which took a lot of learning and patience! Something JJ barely had.) along with still taking part in Poguelandia—which was mostly ran by John B and Sarah now—and having his own landscaping business, JJ found himself finally letting out a much needed long exhale.

Life was meant to be lived and it definitely was.

And for once it felt alright.

More than.

Like the floating of waves at your back, gliding you back to shore.

“Hey!” Sarah’s all grins as she throws her arms around Almabelle in a tight embrace, as the two women lightly sway from side to side.

It was almost as if the two weren’t just hanging out last weekend, or talking on the phone the day before last. Alma and Sarah grew even closer since her little one was the godson of JJ and that automatically meant Alma was the number one auntie.

Cleo, Wheezie, and Kiara all thought otherwise!

“There’s my favorite little guy!” JJ boasts, yanking the five year old from John B’s arms to hold upside down by his ankles before pulling the squealing chocolate haired boy back into his embrace.

Smiling softly at the two, Alma enjoyed seeing JJ with Jeremiah (yes, named after JJ himself) John Routledge. Having “little j” in their lives changed everything for the pogues; let them all be aware that there was more life out there and all of them had no problem going after it.

John B playfully shakes out his arms at Little J’s weight, making Sarah playfully whack his shoulder, before he slips in to give Alma a side hug in greeting, “What’s going on, Alton? I’ve got the pies out in the Twinkie.”

Yes, she was still (barely) running and although The Routledge’s have a more dependable car, the Twinkie was still their go to. Plus little J loved it and as parents, they would do anything to bring their child happiness.

“You say hi to the pretty lady.” JJ whispers into Little J’s ear, who already had his bright eyes (that were handed down to him from Ward) set on the bronze skinned woman.

Alma holds her arms out, Little J comes right to her, pressing a slobbery kiss to her cheeks. “Aw, thank you! Glad to see you too, pea.”

He was the perfect combination of his parents: chocolate ringlets for hair, almond shaped eyes like his mother with her father’s color eyes, high cheeks bones like John B, faint dimples on his cheeks from both parents, and a sweet smile just like Sarah’s.

Sarah laughs as she informs her friend, “If you need napkins, I have plenty!”

“That’s my boy!” JJ claps and points at little J, “But remember, that’s still my lady, huh?” He ruffles his hair, then winks at Alma before stepping out of the home to help John B with the desserts.

Leaving the men to deal with that, the three make their way towards the slightly closed off emerald green kitchen.

“I hope you didn’t overdo it with the pies this time, Sarah.” Alma says to the almost completely blonde woman, who gives an innocent shrug.

Sarah opened up her own cafe, Wet Bean Café, which was unfortunately in constant competition with Ruthie’s shitty restaurant. It’s been five years and that pathetic Ruthie still couldn’t stop her bullying ways. After dealing with massive flooding out in the cut, Sarah decided to make the decision to move it into town, using the inheritance Ward left behind, where she had to pay more for rent on the building, which Rafe was the property manager of. Go figure! The original WBC was a small lavender painted space, with a little drive-thru on the side, with two sets of bistro tables outside, and only room for three tables inside that were set up along the brick walls, with checkered floors. It felt very diner-like inside with its quirks and jukebox. The café was filled with Sarah’s baked goods and became a favorite in Kildare. It was Sarah’s but she had to make the decision to move back into town after the land had severe damage and couldn’t be built on anymore, which JJ helped confirm.

“There’s no such thing,” Sarah replies as Alma holds her son on her hip for a moment longer, “As much as these guys eat? There’s never enough! Plus it’s less than what I started with since most were donated all over the communities.”

This didn’t shock Alma.

In almost every way, all of the pogues found ways to give back, especially for those that were still struggling to make it.

“Did you hear from Cleo yet?” Sarah suddenly asks, after stealing a pineapple chunk from the charcuterie board.

Alma shakes her head before putting Little J down on his feet but he still holds onto the end of her wine colored shirt, “Only in texts. JJ was originally going to pick Pope up from Dare County because Cleo wasn’t sure if she was going to get in on time…there were delays with her helicopter situation.”

That’s right.

Cleo decided to heavily get into engineering and undergoing flight training. Sure she’s spent much of her times on boats, like most of the pogues but once Pope actually enlisted into the service to be a marine, it just made sense to want to know the mechanics of how boats and helicopters worked. Cleo’s always been a traveler so this path and with her cut from the blue crown, she had the skills that were already instilled and amplified them once she hit the books.

She had her own helicopter that she flew over on her own back to the OBX from time to time, his name was “squiggly” because he never flew straight once first brought into the air. Alma honestly preferred taking a boat rather than a flight to Nassau but that one time for John B and Sarah C. Routledge’s anniversary trip was unforgettable that’s for sure!

“I’ll check on her after I come back from the bathroom.” Sarah informs, “Are you okay with—

Blowing out a raspberry, Alma peeks down at little J who was already grinning up at her, “We’ll be just fine, shoo.”

Bending down Alma picks up little J to sit on the counter, lightly singing at him who was full of giggles at her source of entertainment, before she plucked up a slice of pear from one of the pear tree’s out front to hand over to her nephew. Her hands rested on the counter, caging him in as he snacked on the fruit, leaving her the chance to look at all the food that covered the spacious island. A large yawn rips through her lips before she can stop it, which makes little J laugh at the woman. “Auntie Mama needs a nap,” the boy teases one of his many aunts.

Alma playfully scowls at the boy, going to tickle him by the neck. Even if Alma wanted a five minute nap, her mind wouldn’t grant her that pleasure. She could have laid in bed forever with JJ but knew there were a few last minute things she needed to get done for this dinner, although Alma’s been preparing for the last week! A host’s job is never truly done. This wasn’t Alma’s first gathering for the holidays but it did bring a sense of joy that both she and JJ could provide this for their friends.

“I knew it would smell delicious in here!” A familiar voice called out, making Alma glance over her shoulder.

A smile graces the woman’s lips, “Is that Kie-Kie?!”

“The one and only.” She flicks her blown out hair over her shoulder as she pulls her friend by the elbow to embrace the sleep deprived woman, followed by her hands thrown over Alma’s shoulders.

Kiara had her eyes set on Little J, just in case while she embraced Alma before the two separated.

She then makes grabby hand motions to the five year old, “That’s right come on over to your favorite auntie!” Kiara smirks as she peppers the kid’s face with kisses while Alma scoffs.

Alma walks over to the stove across the room to turn off the handmade potpourri, “Girl, whatever! You look good! That have anything to do with your time out in the big apple?”

Kiara met Joey Del Marco who was a touron, funny enough about a year after what transpired during the fourth of July. Joey was originally from the east coast but vacationing with her new friends and she captured Kiara’s attention. It was hilarious trying to see Kiara deny her attraction and then feelings towards Joey, who extended her time out here just to see what would happen between the two. Joey fit in just as well with the group of friends: she was loud, proud, rebellious—you readers can only imagine what kind of shit she got into with JJ, both Alma and Kiara made a few trips to bail the two out of jail—before Alma got pissed enough to make JJ stay in there.

There was never anything wrong with fun but after the time the friends all had across the seas? Was too close and JJ had to learn that.

Alma was just overjoyed to see Kiara in a happy relationship. The girl was glowing, traveling back and forth from the south to the east coast since Joey’s dance career has taken off. Of course New York was the place to be for it and the distance between the two seemed to work for them just as it did for Pope and Cleo.

“Maybe,” Kiara dragged out and sent the short haired woman a wink just as the loud chatter from John B and JJ hit her ears in the background, “She wanted to be here but you know how showbiz goes.”

Alma only knew part of what Joey shared and it was exactly what Alma did not want. She could not stand the spotlight being on her yet these few pogues absolutely made a name for themselves, along with her being in love with the most well-known trouble maker on the island, who surprisingly (to those around the island) turned their life around in the span of five years.

Alma fans her hand about, just happy that Joey’s craft was also successful, “Ah, tell her to not to worry about it. There’s always Christmas and New Years to catch up.”

JJ interrupts as he carries some lavender colored boxes into the kitchen, “Christmas will definitely be at JB’s and Sarah’s! And New Years in New York with Kie and Joey?”

John B used his portion to start rebuilding the chateau before Little J was brought into the world in late April. That of course did not come easy and they took Alma and JJ up on their offer to stay with them (mostly in Demp’s quarters of the property, in which Alma scrubbed extremely clean, shout out to another trigger and coping mechanism! that is up until the colder months approached and squirrels decided to come down the fireplace) until they got the chateau the way they wanted. That was a story in itself but definitely brought the couples all closer.

Kiara pushed her lips out in thought, “…I’m down.”

“Y’all don’t know what cold is until you spend time in the city.” Alma tells the four, after inhaling the mixture from the boiling pot in hopes that the spice will give her a burst of energy.

When she was younger and not allowed to stay at home on her own, Alma had the chance to travel more with her mother who brought her to California and New York every so often. Her mother was a U.S. Customs agent who was originally from California and where she got her start in her career. She never meant to get pregnant with Alma but again, life happens and you do what you have to do. She moved Alma to the Outer banks simply because her parents lived out there and felt that would be a better place for her to grow up. Most of her time was spent in an empty home or with her hearing impaired grandparents until their passing when she was fifteen. She learned a lot from her grandparents and always thanked them for how she turned out. Alma never knew her father but she had a god-father who filled in as her father figure although he too, also lived on the west coast. Her step-father tried to be in her life but he was constantly on the go just like her mother and their marriage felt like convenience rather than love.

Alma never wanted a repeat of that kind of life in her future. She needed to be present, true, and never neglectful and of course things can never be perfect but it’s always the effort that matters.

Kiara huffs as she holds out her hands for Little J to keep high-fiving her hands, “Ha! Not with global warming constantly being against us.”

“Oh here she goes.” John B mutters, reaching out to spin little J in the air to say to him before putting him down, “Tell auntie Kie, you’re too young to listen to this crap.”

“It’s far from crap! The earth is burning and y’all need to stop being so ignorant. It’s never too late to learn about the state of the environment.” Kiara argues, fists going into her jean skirt covered hips.

Alma smiles at the brunette with a shake of her head while JJ rolls his eyes, and starts mocking her with his hands. Which makes Kiara pick up and chuck a grape at him that bounces off his forehead.

“Hey!” JJ yells, reaching for the chunk of some overpriced cheese, “Don’t start a war you can’t finish, Kie.”

Kiara furrows her thick brows, “I’ve won plenty. Do you need to see my resume?”

“Ooooo,” John B instigates.

That is coming from your very own Mayor of OBX!

Kiara’s always been political and environmentally friendly for as long as Alma’s known her. She juggled a lot, from creating a sustainable healthy smoothie drink business that was often sold in WBC but she eventually sold that off once she got deeper into politics. However Kiara did not completely sign over her rights without the promise of keeping her deliveries of supplies in Sarah’s cafe.

The doorbell made Alma zone back in on the typical arguments the two were having. She seemed to be the only one who heard it, taking her leave to the front entrance of the home to answer the door.

Rafe Cameron stood on the front step, arms full of alcoholic beverages. “Hey,” he starts.

He still looked the same, no longer sporting a buzzed hair cut, hair grown out in some sort of a mullet with spiked ends followed by a bit of facial hair growing in. He looked older yet his eyes still held unresolved issues and secrets.

There’s confusion in Alma’s brown eyes since she knew that she didn’t invite him to Friendsgiving and she also knew JJ didn’t invite Rafe either. Their beef ran deep and had its ups and downs, considering that the two knew just how to get up underneath one another’s skin. Yet the events that occurred in Essaouira and Lisbon did shift something in their relationship.

“Aren’t you going to let me in or let the dragonflies fly in?” Rafe’s sarcasm was possibly an attempt to break the ice or at least be funny but all Alma could do was blink.

There’s footsteps Alma hears and it doesn’t take long for her to figure out who they belong to. Considering…you know she’s lived and been around the guy for a while now!

“The hell are you doing here?!”

Rafe lifts his shoulders, “What’s it look like?”

“Like you’re about to get the door slammed right in front of your stupid lookin’ face.” JJ snaps.

Rafe rolls his eyes, “I got an invite just like everybody else…you got a problem with it—

“Yeah I do. It’s our house!”

“Which I can easily buy from you, Maybank.” Rafe smirked and Alma pinched the irritation forming in between her brows.

Those two still had their moments.

The dark haired twenty-something year old immediately grabbed onto JJ’s forearm, to stop him from moving around her to get into Rafe’s smug face. “We’re not doing this, alright! Rafe, I don’t know who invited you…but you better be lucky I’m in a good mood—

JJ exasperates with furrowed brows, “No Alma! No freaking way!”

Alma knew Rafe had nobody but Sarah (and Wheezie from time to time, the younger of the Cameron’s high-tailed it out of the OBX as soon as she hit eighteen). Then there was that up and down relationship he had with Barry (Alma’s ex) and she definitely did not need him here either so she would allow it. Of course Rafe didn’t want pity and this wasn’t that, Alma was just in the spirit of…giving thanks. As corny as it sounds and in simplest terms, Rafe was helpful across seas. As much as the pogues all had their personal feelings towards the eldest Cameron, he did pitch in on getting JJ help out in the desert.

A part of Alma felt like she would always be grateful for that.

“Rafe? You actually made it.” John B speaks from behind you all, keeping a hand on Little J’s shoulder who held onto his pants leg, still snacking on a pear slice.

A ghost of a small smile appeared on Rafe’s face as he stared over at his nephew.

JJ turns his glare to the brunette who raises his brows, “Don’t tell me you invited him here?”

Kiara didn’t wipe the scowl off her face either, arms crossed.

“I did.” Sarah announces her arrival finally returning from the bathroom with her phone in hand, “I know I should have asked you two since it is your house but…I wanted everyone I love here. And I hope you guys would be okay with that, to continue moving forward.”

Alma’s eyes met JJ’s, who appeared as if he was ready to chew his bottom lip off in annoyance. However the longer he stared at his lady, he loosened up, some. Flaring his nostrils he says to Sarah first, “I still wish you would have had a conversation with us first but…I get it.”

JJ turns back to Rafe who meets his gaze, “Fine. You can join our Friendsgiving but the second you act like an asshole, I’m throwin’ you out on your ass. Got that, Rafe?”

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll be on my best behavior, just like you, right?” He winks at the blond before barging his way in.

JJ flings the door shut behind him, tapping his elbow into the palm of his other hand, and starts swatting at the air at Rafe’s back for practice, earning laughs and snickers from John B, Kiara, and Alma.

Who moves to slip an arm across her boyfriend’s waist, “We can play nice, right? Our house, our rules.”

“Damn straight,” JJ answers, eyes connecting with deep brown hues as she pokes her lips out for him to peck.

Hi! I was wondering what would be the time lord equivalent of the common cold!

What does a Time Lord cold look like?*

*Please inform me if I interpreted this wrongly!

🧬 Resilience, But Not Invulnerability

Time Lords have a fabulous immune system, making them resistant to many diseases that would floor humans. However, they're not entirely impervious to human ailments like the common cold. Their bodies resist better and recover faster, but they can definitely get it.

It's a classic case of 'superior biology meets tiny virus.' In theory, their highly regenerative cells should be able to neutralise the virus quicker, but the nature of the cold virus means it's like trying to hit a moving target.

Here's where things get interesting. Besides the usual symptoms, Time Lords have extra senses that could be affected:

🕰️Time sense: In theory, a cold could fog up their time sense, making time streams feel muddled or 'out of sync', like trying to look through fogged-up glasses. This could result in mild disorientation during time travel or maybe a heightened risk of 'temporal vertigo'.

🧠Psionic sense: Telepathy is a deeply integrated part of their biology, used for connecting with other minds and even communicating with their TARDIS. A congested Gallifreyan might find their mental 'signals' weakening or misfiring, like accidentally starting a telepathic convo with a nearby lifeform or being unable to interpret words correctly in a telepathic exchange.

➕Somato senses: Time Lords also possess advanced somatic senses, like gravitoception (their awareness of gravity) and mechanoception (their sensitivity to mechanical forces). When they're unwell, these senses could get scrambled, most notably causing light-headedness and balance problems, especially during rapid shifts in gravitational forces, like standing up too quickly.

💊 Treatment and Recovery

The good news is that Time Lords recover from these viruses faster than humans, halving the usual recovery time, but of course, home remedies are always helpful. Get them tucked up in bed with that chicken soup on the go (chicken soup has mystical powers, and we are yet to unearth its true power).

🏫 So ...

While Time Lords have evolved to shrug off a lot of human ailments, unfortunately for them, they aren't immune to the human 'common cold', and because of their extra senses, it's probably got a bit more punch.

Common Featherfew has large, fresh, green leaves, much torn or cut on the edges. The stalks are hard and round, set with many such like leaves, but smaller, and at the tops stand many single flowers, upon small foot stalks, consisting of many small white leaves standing round about a yellow thrum in the middle. The root is somewhat hard and short, with many strong fibres about it. The scent of the whole plant is very strong, and the taste is very bitter. (...) Venus commands this herb, and has commended it to succour her sisters (women) and to be a general strengthener of their wombs, and remedy such infirmities as a careless midwife hath there caused if they will but be pleased to make use of her herb boiled in white wine, and drink the decoction; it cleanses the womb, expels the after-birth, and doth a woman all the good she can desire of an herb. And if any grumble because they cannot get the herb in winter, tell them, if they please, they may make a syrup of it in summer; it is chiefly used for the disease of the mother, whether it be the strangling or rising of the mother, or hardness, or inflammation of the same, applied outwardly thereunto. Or a decoction of the flowers in wine, with a little Nutmeg or Mace put therein, and drank often in a day, is an approved remedy to bring down women’s courses speedily, and helps to expel the dead birth and after-birth. For a woman to sit over the hot fumes of the decoction of the herb made in water or wine, is effectual for the same; and in some cases to apply the boiled herb warm to the privy parts. The decoction thereof made with some sugar, or honey put thereto, is used by many with good success to help the cough and stuffing of the chest, by colds, as also to cleanse the reins and bladder, and helps to expel the stone in them. The powder of the herb taken in wine, with some Oxymel, purges both choler and phlegm, and is available for those that are short winded, and are troubled with melancholy and heaviness, or sadness of spirits. It is very effectual for all pains in the head coming of a cold cause, the herb being bruised and applied to the crown of the head: As also for the vertigo, that is a running or swimming in the head. The decoction thereof drank warm, and the herb bruised with a few corns of Bay salt, and applied to the wrists before the coming of the ague fits, doth take them away. The distilled water takes away freckles, and other spots and deformities in the face. The herb bruised and heated on a tile, with some wine to moisten it, or fried with a little wine and oil in a frying-pan, and applied warm outwardly to the places, helps the wind and cholic in the lower part of the belly. It is an especial remedy against opium taken too liberally.

Nicolas Culpeper (1616-1654) in 'The Complete Herbal' discussing the herb feverfew.

Obviously, I do not advise trying these remedies at home.

In the Realm of Mythos that is Kyuushi's Earth, home to Humans and creatures of Myth and Legend both, there are illnesses and diseases unique to Mythos beings. Some of them are able to affect many different Species, while others are even more specifically only linked to a single species. Some further still are able to affect many species, but has different variations unique to different individual ones where the symptoms are slightly different.

One such is known as Vulpis Inordinatio Magicae, or VIM. An extremely rare illness that can plague members of the Kitsune Species. The cause is unknown, and it's severity and symptoms can vary wildly. It's most commonly believe to be a loss of balance in one's Aether, causing the victim to lose control of their magicks. Though some believe it is an indiscriminate and persistent curse of some kind that simply roams the world before latching onto a victim.

In it's most mundane state, the illness will cause the Kitsune's Magicks to become unreliable. Some of their Magicks will simply not work, while others will ignore the Kitsune's command or act oddly. It will also cause headaches, nausea, and numbness in the limbs. Usually it will take between 1-3 weeks to naturally pass, or an influx of Aether from another being can shorten it's duration, if not outright end it. This form is commonly known as VIM Levis.

At it's worst, the illness will entirely distrupt the Kitsune's Magicks. Rendering them unable to wield any Magicks, let alone command their Aether in any way. Migranes, nausea, vertigo, numbness in limbs, dry and sore throat, nose bleeds, and fainting are symptoms that arise with this form. With the vulnerable state the Kitsune is put into, they become susceptible to many Human illnesses that they normally wouldn't be, which can cause an already bad situation to become even worse. Constant care is needed, as this frorm of the illness must run it's course, and will last for 3-4 weeks. This form of the illness is known as VIM Gravis.

However, in even rarer cases, this illness can inflict an even more severe symptom upon the victim. One in which it takes the natural healing Magicks of a Kitsune and, not only stops it, but inverts it entirely. Thus beginning to degrade the Kitsune's body over time, quite literally killing them slowly. Both the Levis and Gravis forms of this illness can suffer this symptom, and if it does befall the unfortunate Kitsune who suffers from either, it is akin to a death sentence.

In such an unfortunate situation, neither form of the illness will naturally pass, nor will any healing spell aid in any form of recovery. The Kitsune suffering from this will have anywhere from a month to a year to live in most cases, and their life will be filled with constant suffering of their very body slowly breaking itself down. It is usually much kinder to end their life before their own Magicks overwhelm them. It is commonly known as VIM Letum whenever a Kitsune is unfortunate enough to experience this symptom.

Due to the similarity in symptoms that are experienced from the Levis and Gravis forms, it is believed that VIM is a variant of a more wide-spread Mythos illness. Magicae Imperium Inordinatio, an illness that causes a loss in control over one's Aether, which can be suffered by any and all Mythos species. MII -pronounced 'my'-, however, does not include the other symptoms that are present in VIM directly. The disturbance in Aether may lead to headaches or nausea in those who suffer from MII, but it is not directly caused by the illness itself.

Though where the difference lies is that while MII is an understood illness, VIM still remains a mystery. The cause, it's origin, remedies, cure, all unknown. Between how rare the illness itself is, how varied it's symptoms and severity are, and the isolated nature of modern Kitsune, it is unlikely that answers will be found. It is unknown how many Kitsune fall victim to VIM, and there are only a few hundred recorded cases of VIM in records from pre-Grand Kitsune records.

Kyuushi's Mother was a victim of VIM Letum. She chose to be a brave, strong willed soul, however, and did her best to persist against the illness for Kyuushi, and in hopes of seeing her Husband again.

Me Oh My Migraines!

Let’s face it. Any kind of migraine or headache sucks... a lot. But the great thing about the internet is that everyone has a chance to share their experiences, as well as solutions. Read about my migraine journey and the tricks I've picked up along the way! I’ve had frequent headaches for as long as I can remember. Then the migraines started. At first, it was absolutely horrible. It felt like my eyes were going to fall right before my head exploded. I was forced on the bathroom floor a lot of the time. The tile was cool, and it was close to the toilet, which was a major plus for me at the time. Then I didn’t have any migraines for the longest time, but my ears started hurting. Just one or both; I was convinced I had double ear infections at least once a month. Onslaughts of vertigo started spinning my head into the ground and eventually landed me in the Emergency Room a few times. I was sent to what felt like 100 specialists before being referred to a neurologist who explained that my migraines had actually just transformed from the head pounds to making me think my eardrums were bursting.

Some of the things the doctors recommended helped, but some didn't. Like taking over the counter medication or lying down in a dark and quiet room. Nothing felt like it was working until I took to Google to see what I could find.

One thing I found actually did seem to help. I only had to make minor changes to my diet, like eating more veggies and shrimp (which I am definitely not complaining about). It’s Omega-3 fatty acids. I did some digging and actually found the website that I read it all on so you can read it for yourself right here if you like. To sum it up, the Omega-3 fatty acids help with inflammation and regulating pain. It might be wise to stay away from Omega-6 acids though. In a study, they were found to make pain worse and even induce migraines. Yikes.

A home remedy that also helped was the ice pack or cold rag on the back of the neck. It’s said that it helps because it slows blood circulation? I’m not 100% sure on that one, but hey! It sounds scientific, so why not,right? I sometimes sit on my bathroom counter with my feet in the sink while it’s filled with cool (not cold) water and have something actually cold on the back of my neck. It’s not an immediate relief for me, but it does help it stop faster.

Other quick fixes that I’ve found to be helpful are:

laying down in a dark, quiet, and cool room

drinking lots of water

or (sometimes) catch up on my caffeine doses

I hope something from this helps. I know that when I was at the rough end of the head pain journey, I was scouring the internet for anything that could help me. Let me know what you think!
