I have the same thing happen to me. I wake up on high alert and hear only silence. I always feel like I have to do a quick walkaround of the house, just in case.

Praying for your son, his medical team and your family!

Six espresso shots would have me in the hospital! 🤣Happy belated birthday!

We're trying to get MIL to try Costco because they get excellent reviews. I will get mine there when I need them. (Which will probably be soon lol.)

For me personally: Organic frozen fruit for my smoothies. Costco has made this more reasonable thankfully. Illy coffee - I have to stick with decaf nowadays, but their decaf is still pretty damn good. And I love the hiss when I open a can. I have their espresso machine, too. I will buy a can of pods for that once every other month. Owyn protein shakes - I do get decent deals at CVS every month or two, but otherwise they are $10 for a 4 pack. I like to have one every night. Occasionally dh will surprise me with a case of the bottled shakes. For the family: The prime rib sliders at Sam's Club, and the brioche slider rolls. I don't eat meat very often, but I will have one of these when we buy them. We went last weekend, and they brought out 3 packs - we took all 3. Boneless leg of American lamb - this is more of a holiday/special occasion splurge. We did this for Easter, and it was $75. Dh has a recipe from Chef John I think, that uses pomegranate molasses and various spices. I ask him to leave out the rosemary, which I've never liked on lamb. It's delicious! Another one of the few times I will eat meat. Cold cuts - we don't do this very often due to price and health reasons, but every few months we decide to do cold cuts for dinner. We put it all on a platter, put out rolls, bread, condiments, etc. and make our own sandwiches. I grew up on liverwurst, and it's one of the few times I will allow myself to eat it. My other fave is Boar's Head Blazing Buffalo chicken. It's crazy how expensive this has become. Ice cream used to be one of our splurges, but dh got me an ice cream maker for Christmas. I've perfected peppermint stick ice cream, my all time fave, as well as coffee, chocolate, and other basic types. I'm planning on trying some non-dairy recipes next. I try not to have too much dairy, but I have no control with peppermint stick!!

Wow, that's pretty cool!

I was in the basement, as was dh. The whole house shook for about 25 seconds, not too badly. But it was definitely weird! My son was in the attic and ran downstairs right away. Dh was on the phone with someone, and he could hear stuff fall off her walls/shelves. Her mother had things coming out of her cabinets. The last earthquake I felt was the one in Virginia years ago. I was also in the basement laying on the couch, and it felt like someone kicked the couch I was on very hard. This one felt completely different, more of a rumbly-shaky feeling, and I could hear the rumbling. I didn't hear anything the last time.

I'm a side sleeper, mainly because of GERD which will hit me even if I'm elevated. I will choke on it if I'm laying on my back, which is not pleasant in the middle of a deep sleep. I also get headaches when I sleep on my back. It sucks, because I prefer sleeping on my back. Sleeping on my side hurts my hips so I am constantly switching sides until I fall asleep. My husband bought a sound machine for my son but he hated it, so I started using it and it really helps me sleep better. It helps dh a little, but he is very sensitive to noise when he is sleeping, so he still wakes up from any unusual noises, like putting my Air pods back in the case. I used to have a body pillow, and I think I may buy a new one. Costco had a cooling body pillow for a reasonable amount, and I hope they still have it when I go back. My son can only sleep with the air conditioner running all night, even if it's 20 degrees outside. 🥶 It's partially for the sound but he is always hot. (I'm sure it has nothing to do with the 3 comforters he insists on having, lol.) Dh swears by using Breathe Right strips when he sleeps. I use them when I have a cold, and they do help.

I would only go to an ENT or PT that can perform these maneuvers if you still have some residual vertigo, otherwise I wouldn't bother. When I was following these videos I was getting some relief, but I still had a good amount of vertigo left. The ENT performed the Epley and it knocked the rest of it out. I haven't tried the Foster maneuver - I'll have to check it out. Luckily I haven't had positional vertigo in quite a while.

My adult spectrum ds found my mil at the bottom of the stairs unconscious in the middle of the night, after obviously falling from the top of the stairs. It took him a long time to not jump at every sound at night or constantly check her during the day if he heard anything after she was back home, at least a year. One thing that helped in our situation was getting her a life alert pendant even though she is rarely alone in the house. There are 4 of us besides mil living here, but my son was the only one who thought he heard something the night she fell and got up to check. He has settled into a state of readiness to check on her if a loud sound is heard during the day or night or if her alert goes off (we all have!), but he no longer jumps at every little sound. While the life alert helped, time was the biggest factor. I have seen that myself with a traumatizing choking issue I experienced - it took me a few months to get back to somewhat normal, and I even had to go back on anxiety meds. He will hold on to things that upset him and not want to discuss them, but he was willing to discuss what happened right away, especially as the fall was quite serious and led to mil being in the hospital and rehab for about 4 months. He understood immediately that she may have died if he didn't check out the sound that night, but we didn't want that to be made into a big deal knowing how he would be when she got home.

I've turned the tables and now dh is my brain! 🤣

Even though she is not alone, my mil has Philip's Lifeline. We got this for her after she fell down a flight of stairs in the middle of the night. Dh and I never heard it, but thank God my son did, or she may have died. I would definitely look into that - I plan on getting one if my MS gets worse. Agencies can be very expensive. Mil was able to find people who were willing to work directly for her to help with her mother instead of the agency, but it took a while to find someone. They were paid cash, and it was about $10/hr cheaper. Not legal, but necessary financially. If you have the funds, there should be agencies that will take on temporary jobs if you are in a suburban/urban area. Mil never had trouble finding people, but again, it took a few weeks. She did start out with an agency, but most of the she paid cash came from the woman who handled the scheduling for the agency she used. She was also able to find people through the church to help with certain tasks.

I believe our local Walmart has them from Vision Scientific, ISO certified, so maybe yours will, too.

I gained a shoe size and now need wide shoes.🫤

I was trying to find somewhere to watch it, never thought of checking there, thanks! The opening music is terrible lol.
