I’m making this post because I’ve recently heard something that honestly has me questioning what was going on in my old apartment at The Parker @ 7th in Des Moines.
While my boyfriend and I lived there, we both started experiencing some really severe symptoms. We would wake up in the mornings feeling incredibly nauseous, daily vomiting (always in the morning/ before work), and experiencing intense panic attacks that genuinely made us feel like we were dying. It wasn’t just normal stress or feeling a little sick. It got to the point where my anxiety and depression became so severe that I had to take a MONTH off work and seek help at a behavioral health center.
At the time, I had no idea what was happening to us or why we were feeling this way.
Now, we’ve heard that a coworker of my boyfriend’s who currently lives in the same complex has been experiencing very similar symptoms. Apparently, a huge roof leak was also discovered, with reports of water damage that had been going on for years.
I’m not saying I can prove these things are connected, but hearing about the leak and someone else experiencing similar symptoms has genuinely alarmed me. I can’t help but wonder whether there could have been an environmental issue in the building that we didn’t know about while we were living there.
Has anyone else who lives or has lived at The Parker @ 7th experienced unexplained nausea, vomiting, waking up feeling extremely sick, severe anxiety, or other unusual symptoms? Have you heard anything about the roof leak, long-term water damage, or possible mold issues?
I would really appreciate hearing from current or former residents. I’m sharing this because I want to know if anyone else has experienced something similar and whether there is more information about what was happening in that building.

This is a bit of an odd request. I normally don’t enjoy hot dogs, but I had a beef hot dog at Val Air Ballroom a couple weeks ago and I’m wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of anywhere in the area that sells similarly tasting hot dogs! Gas stations, fast food, etc.

I am a pregnant lady with cravings, so this is an important request for me (and yes, my OB said it was fine to have an occasional hot dog). TIA!!

I guess East University. Like 100+ people are outside the broadlawns clinic with debris and police, anyone know what’s going on?

Hello! I am in search of a bakery that would do a Sailor Moon cake of some sort! The photo is for reference! Any recommendations would help! I'd like it for my birthday!

Anyone know someone with a lathe that would be willing to take a short length 5/16" square aluminum bar stock and turn a section of it into 1/4" rod?

I checked the Outer Limits but the prices were outrageous.

Does anyone happen to know what’s going on ? There’s 12 cop cars and 2 fire trucks with multiple people standing by

I have been a member of AnyTime Fitness for a couple years. It’s been great for losing weight and getting in shape. Now I want to get shredded and want to join a gym where that is the main focus. I’ve been reading about Krave Gym but don’t know anyone who is a member there. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Is there a place in Des Moines or anywhere in Iowa where a night in said place can be paid for? Somewhere that’s haunted/supernaturally inclined. It’s a bit of an odd ask but if it rings a bell for anyone would love some leads. Thanks!

To make a very long story short, today I was told by my new sleep care provider (my previous dr quit) that XYWAV could kill me, maim me, and is not recommended to treat my condition (it is literally the only FDA approved medication to treat my condition. All other meds are off label treatments. And with my career, I have more knowledge than the average joe about pharmaceuticals) and my only options for the rest of my life are stimulant medications.

I am so sick of being on stimulants. It’s been 13 years of them and I am so over it. I know XYWAV has a “find a doctor” option on their website but it is currently not working. Has anyone in the DSM area seen a sleep dr they like, and is willing to discuss my options outside of freaking amph salts, moda, armo etc. I don’t want them if there are other options

I have been through the wringer with my current sleep provider and today was just… the last straw for me. Plz help

i just saw a girl promoting a vintage store that has one i just can't find the video!!! but any other places please lmk!!

Has anybody done a walk in to renew their driver’s license here? I have an appointment in November, but I’d rather do it sooner if possible so was thinking about trying to do a walk in, maybe right when they open.

Does anyone have any experience with this at the Waukee dmv location?

Anyone know who packages them in less than 6/bag? Grocery apps aren’t helping out.

If you are still covid conscious and use Metrix tests, please reach out. Aptitude is not going to have fresh tests for a while (Nov-Dec) but they have a few 25 packs of the combo--no singles yet. Downside is they expire in January and there is no way I can use 25 by then. A dozen, yes. They are offering a discount on them, which would help but I need to find someone to split an order with me.

If there's anyone in central Iowa who is interested--please message me.
