It's been done for at least good 15 years.

The story gets worse when you put heat pump to the same system - now you have to run it to its limits to have just enough heat in the water to make the radiators release enough heat to barely heat up the room.

Of course, it's only that simple to replace one heat source with another, why wouldn't anyone do it already?

Even if I somehow manage to pull the air in, the moment I close it - the walls that have all that heat will start giving it back again, bringing the temperature back to where it was.

It's so funny, that when the winter starts, it's long into the winter before I have to turn on heating in my apartment.

All of these options are a non-starter considering basic AC starts from $500. Why should anyone invest more than that?

Sure thing, you could go to court if they have any problem, but who is going to fight for AC worth $500 for a few years just to get it installed?

People who don't have a balcony are screwed and are entirely dependent on homeowners association which arbitrarily can agree or not, or they can stay indecisive about it and not let you do anything.

Well, if you have a balcony? you just put it there and make the necessary holes for it, problem solved.

The effect is exactly the same - you just have AC installed. In one case you have to go through totally unnecessary hoops, and in other case, you just do whatever you want.

What's even the point of it?

I would love to find a natural or lifestyle remedy to common RLS or PLMD symptoms that I get from time to time. The problem is that for some people it's impossible to identify what are the triggers and sometimes it's just genetics you have no control over.

But sure, do tell people to avoid doctors and make them suffer even though there are drug remedies that don't cause dependence and augumentation.

But boy how much the mounting system costs - it's at least 3 times the cost of the panes if you buy them in 2xN or 4xN bulk and I'm excluding labor here.

I can either struggle for the next 30 years with whatever I wished I was doing, and be always angry at myself, others, significant other and family, or I can take meds, bear the consequences (side effects really), but be happy for the moments where they do help and I can actually do what I wished for.

Took me almost 10 years to come to that conclusion, so take your time, but once I started my therapy and medication I was so angry at myself for not doing it earlier that it took me almost 2 weeks to shake out of it.

Feel free to check my other comment in my profile that describes my troubles.

I seem to be in opposite camp where SNRI actually lift like majority of visual snow syndrome, but that was not the only syndrome I had. I believe I had something more like HPPD.

Believe me, I was scared as hell as I thought these meds will make it worse, and I am really glad now that I did try them and they did work for me. I still have a really small amount of snowing, but I can ignore it entirely and carry on with my life.

And other comments - you NEED to look for people who specialize in ADHD specifically, both on psychologist and psychiatrist side. I got SNRI only because the doc said "it's used as last resort for ADHD, perhaps it will help you" - no, it does shit nothing for ADHD in my case. But it did help with many other things so I'm still grateful for that.

Also, keep in mind that non-stimulants also do work, but they don't work _immediately_ and that requires actual regime to make know whether they work on you.

I'm sorry to tell you, but both ADHD and OCD exist on a spectrum. Furthermore, ADHD like symptoms can be caused through other illness than actual dopamine deficiency.
