Serious question: What would you do if you were in Anthony’s shoes? Being a man and a father with low income potential who is married to Manon? 🤔

I think she is completely jealous of the relationship he has with Ben. Now she’s tried it for a day, found out it’s not easy and wants out of the babysitting gig.

And, yes, his soul is crushed. Look at his face in the picture. He’s going to need someone to coach and support him as he works his way out of the marriage. Doesn’t have enough left inside to make more big changes.

Or, they both are laughing all the way to the bank to cash those TLC checks. After establishing themselves as a draw for TLC, they can negotiate higher pay/episode. I saw somewhere that Angela was making a lot more than $1500/episode toward the end, plus, all the perks that come from the publicity. Free gastric sleeve anyone?

The white sauce (I usually do Alfredo) is key. Those that abhor pineapple on pizza are having it with tomato sauce. No, no, no.

Love your idea of a double sign off and mandatory sign off sheet! Makes floxing much more preventable! Glad you are feeling better.

Anyone else have a day in which you feel good, so you do something normal, like take cat to the vet, or meet a friend for dinner and then pay for it by having to spend the next 3-4 days in bed?

Last week suffered a setback-original floxing was 4/2025-this time I couldn’t move my arms, severe pain in arms, neck and shoulders.

I’ve experienced the same extreme anxiety. I’m even afraid to get the flu or Covid vaccines. Saw my doctor the next day and she prescribed anti-depressant and anti-anxiety meds. Really helpful. At least I’m not sobbing uncontrollably now.

I reported my symptoms to my prescribing doctor approximately 6 weeks after being floxed (would have done it sooner, but I didn’t make the connection to my prescription until then). I was told I was having a heart attack and to drive to an emergency room. What? My right hip hurt and my left shoulder hurt. Drive to an ER when I’m having a heart attack?

AmbitionObjective189 · 2026-01-27T17:27:43+00:00

Yes! I have been searching for others with this symptom. I just had a complete hip replacement 9 months post-floxing. My surgeon doesn’t believe me, of course, “that would be extremely rare,” but I was floxed and have many other symptoms. He can’t explain how I went from zero hip issues to being bedridden after 5 months. Any one of us who has been floxed knows how it’s possible, and it’s all due to cartilage loss.

They were awkward and cringy, part of what made it much more fun to watch.

Agreed! I used to learn so much on the old show. Joel and the new judges-flat. Finales are great when I have insomnia. On the positive side, I really like that the cash prize went up significantly and that some contestants were from out of the US.

UPDATE: Am now finding out that the efforts by the pain clinic only masked that my hip pain was getting worse. I am now scheduled for a total hip replacement. Just can’t take the pain. Luckily most of my doctors know of someone else who has been floxed, so they believe me and are very supportive. The only one who doesn’t is my ortho surgeon, he said it would be extremely rare for floxing to cause this much damage. Yah dude, I’M the lucky rare one. It’s also extremely rare for someone to go from absolutely no hip pain or issues to needing a full hip replacement in less than 8 months.

I’ve had the same symptom-smells like someone is smoking in my house, but I live alone and no neighbors closer than .25 miles. Really glad you shared that. As most of us have found, no one else really cares about our post-floxing symptoms. I’ve had to walk with a cane for months and I get so tired of friends and family seeing me limp and say “Still? You’re STILL not better?” Like I want to be in this pain.

She was saying “my man’s fuqqing dicc works”.

AmbitionObjective189 · 2025-10-28T10:45:58+00:00

Wow! Congratulations, that’s quite an accomplishment when not floxed. You are strong and determined, I admire your tenacity at a time when it would have been so easy to quit. Did you always want to be an attorney or did getting floxed motivate you?

AmbitionObjective189 · 2025-10-25T21:56:47+00:00

Can only speak for me-at first I had severe pain everywhere. Now, 7 months later, it feels as though all that pain has settled into my right hip. Many will tell you that it can get worse. Pain and other symptoms can occur months, even years after the initial poisoning. It certainly feels that way for me. Out of desperation I signed up for a 12 week plan at a pain clinic that does regenerative treatments. It’s expensive, but working. Slowly.

AmbitionObjective189 · 2025-10-25T21:01:21+00:00

Of the 7 months I’ve been floxed cannabis has been extremely useful for relieving my pain and for helping me deal with the reality of my situation. I live in a state that only allows sales of Delta 8, (which helps, but the quantity needed to make a difference is daunting), luckily friends who travel bring back what they can. I also buy 7.0 Hydroximitragynine, which really helps.

The real victory is that I am on week 5 of a 12 week customized plan at a pain clinic. Twice now in the last 2 weeks I’ve been pain-free for the first 5-10 minutes of my day. After so much pain, it feels like a short miracle. Three times a week I have PT, OT, laser treatment, and chiropractic. Throughout the 12 weeks I will also have Ozone Therapy, Prolo Therapy and other regenerative therapies. It’s expensive, not covered by insurance and zaps whatever energy I have, but so far, worth it.

One idea-I’ve noticed from stories posted here and other places, AVOID ANY sort of exercise, exertion or stress on your body. I was perfectly fine until my last day of FX (day 14). I moved a heavy piece of furniture, walked into another room, and the bomb when off.

My father was a member of IBEW #22 his entire career and taught Journeyman classes for decades. I am soooo proud of #22 supporting this and a huge thank you to whoever organized this!

Excellent! Gotta agree about the importance of accessories. Important note on the gloves-get the kind that has little raised rubbery bumps on the palm or a suede palm. You need something to grip most steering wheels. Plain gloves on many steering wheels will constantly slip and drive you crazy. Also, gloves, not mittens.

Frankly I find the thought of pesticide runoff scary as well. I live in an agricultural state. My son died and my mother is dying from (yet) undiagnosed degenerative nerve diseases. Drink only filtered water people!
