ajalawole: Hmmm. My cousin did introduction all the way from Kwara to Kano October last year.. January this year, the lady say she isn't doing again. She gets married 3months later after breakup with my cousin. I don't blame the lady, but most parents. Imaging Kwara to Kano state and her parents shamelessly accept another man from hir within 5month. your cousin just dodged a bullet if kids behave like kids atleast adults should behave like adults your daughter brought a man for introduction and suddenly brings another and you just accept without due findings na wa |
Health › Re: A Strange Connection Between My Mattress And My Health by Fhowe: 4:44am On Oct 24 |
vocs: I am a very sensitive person. I notice little changes in my body, even things someone else might easily overlook. But what I experienced this time became too serious to ignore.
I created this Nairaland account specifically to share my experience while protecting my anonymity. I would rather keep my personal details private, but I feel this is serious enough to speak about.
Around the time I bought a new foam mattress, I started experiencing several troubling symptoms. These included tingling, pain under my feet, general body weakness and foamy urine.
I also had ulcer-like or gastritis-like symptoms. I received treatment for ulcer, stopped eating pepper and gave up alcohol completely. My tests were negative for H. pylori, but the stomach discomfort remained a concern.
There was also this weak or heavy feeling on the side of my body I normally sleep on. I could still grip things and move normally, but if I held my phone to my ear with that arm, it would get tired quickly and I would have to change hands.
At the height of it, I started shaking. I couldn’t even balance properly on one foot. I underwent several medical investigations, including urinalysis, a stool test, an ECG and a full blood count.
My fiancée has also mentioned muscle pulls, tingling in her hands and pain under her leg, although her symptoms were much milder than mine. She only slept on the mattress occasionally and never connected her symptoms to it. Looking back at my own experience, I now suspect there may be a connection in her case too. I wonder whether her less frequent use could explain the difference, but neither has been confirmed.
For a long time, I didn’t connect any of this to the mattress.
I noticed that whenever I travelled and stayed in a hotel, I felt better. On separate occasions when I slept on the couch in my parlour, I also felt better. At the time, I didn’t understand why.
More recently, I slept in the guest room in my house for about a week, and my symptoms stopped completely, including the tingling and pain under my feet.
Something else surprised me: after about one year of avoiding pepper because of the stomach symptoms, I could eat it again without the discomfort I had previously experienced—after just one week of sleeping away from the mattress.
At first, I thought something in my bedroom was responsible. So I brought the same mattress out to the parlour and slept on it there.
The symptoms started coming back.
That was when I looked back and realised that the symptoms had first appeared around the time I bought the mattress.
After that, I compared what happened on a few more occasions when I slept on other mattresses and when I slept on this particular one. The same pattern kept showing up: I felt well on the other mattresses, but the symptoms returned when I slept on the new one.
That repeated experience is why I now strongly suspect something about this mattress. It wasn’t just a matter of changing rooms—the symptoms seemed to follow the mattress.
I haven’t had it professionally tested, so I cannot say whether the issue involves its materials, chemical emissions, the support it provides or something else. These observations, including the improvement in my stomach symptoms, do not establish the medical cause. A manufacturing defect has not been confirmed either.
I won’t mention the brand for now. My reason for posting is to ask: has anybody here experienced something similar after buying a mattress recently?
Did you notice unusual pains, tingling, muscle cramps, weakness or stomach discomfort? Did the symptoms stop when you slept elsewhere? Did a doctor identify the cause, or were you able to have the mattress tested?
Please share your firsthand experience. I am concerned that, if there is a product-related problem, other people could be experiencing symptoms without noticing a connection. That possibility deserves proper investigation.
Please seek medical attention for symptoms such as weakness, shaking or difficulty balancing. Similar symptoms can have different causes. I also wouldn’t advise anyone to repeatedly sleep on a suspected mattress to test it.
Mod please push this to fp. Many people may be suffering without knowing the cause. it is the matrass, some years back after recovering from serious ulcer pains cause I was eating the wrong stuffs , I did notbhave too much options where I was based , when I got back to lagos the first week I spent at my friend's house I was having so much discomfort and the matrass was new but it was too hard when I later moved into a hotel I was sleeping properly ,it is the matrass |

Yampotatocarrot: .
Funny, I was at Mandillas two weeks back and we almost got into a fight with them. Leave us, we know where we're going, no... Before you know it, they turn aggressive and insultive
I was surprised seeing able bodied young adults do that
Go to the front of the suit warehouse, you'll see the street men standing in front, waiting to beg anyone that comes there to buy suit
Before, it was this Niger boys and girls with curly hairs dragging your trouser, who you can easily shake off, then it progressed to masquerade guys at Iyana-Ipaja and Ayobo, who continue begging long after Isese festival has ended, now we have fully grown men joining the club yes it is like that in most part of lagos , even the area you grew up in once you leave there for awhile and come back you see kds that were given birth to right before your eyes harassing you unless someone that knows you very well come to tell them who you are . At this rate it is going lagos will become less desireable for the visitors and residents in the next couple of years . Just imagine avoiding going to your area because of all this kind of behaviour it is really bad , gone are the days you always want to go back to these areas no matter where you have relocated too cause you always feel at home |

Jayhome24: I still disagreed with your explanation. We need the address or the location of that business, leave the rest job for us, simple. what he said there is no lie in it , i was born and raised in lagos my university education was in lagos and to be specific bariga i moved out of lagos after my nysc and i visit lagos regularly i do most of my shopping in balogun market , the last time i visited the market in person i almost got into a fight cause of this whole begging thing it is not even begging anymore they make it look like a compulsory tax i know my way around balogun i dont need anyone to show me . Once they spot you are nicely dressed they just start to hussle you and thats what stopped me from going to balogun market in person prefer they waybill to me |

But trust we men nah, once a cheater always a cheater.

spiceadole: It is still you that will judge a woman harshly by the number of men she has slept with. Better to use intimacy gadgets than indulging promiscuity that comes with regrets, diseases and slut shaming. you are right but using it without the services of a sexologist or a certified sex therapist is wrong , for example what is an 18 year old doing with such items for me many are just following the crowd at their own expense |
