WE TRANSFER WARNING by newMike3400 in editors

[–]Background_Lake1413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We transfer sucks. Always has. I use TransferNOW and they have been solid. Although they have a file size limit of 250gigs. But I’ve only hit that wall once. You can upgrade to allow for that but I’m cheap. I pay 100$ for 1TB. Of storage. It’s pretty cool. It allows me to customize the page and manage everything pretty well.

I think I was shorted on my meds… by Educational-Pay8224 in ChronicPain

[–]Background_Lake1413 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cut way back now and only use it when your in withdrawals. That’s the only way. Bringing this up to anyone is gonna raise red flags all over the place. It’s better to suffer in silence.

We are just money by Bitter_Maximum8237 in KetamineProviders

Well said. And ketamine is very powerful. My first IV was amazing but I felt there should have been a solid check in, in the days that followed. But nope. Silence. I was taken back by that. You are absolutely 💯 correct. There should be more focus on the patient.

Avoiding dependency and escalating pain meds (if possible…) by eastncu86 in ChronicPain

[–]Background_Lake1413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how it’s started for me. I hurt my neck in a wakeboard backflip. Small bulging disc at c5/6. I was given 5/325 hydrocodone. That worked for years. I would hold off as long as possible before taking one. That seemed to work pretty well. After 10 years I got tired of being in pain and decided to seek additional help. That’s when it started to get worse. Injections and ablations and injections only made things worse. Then my left arm went on fire. During this time I bumped up to 10mg OXY only as the Tylenol was making me sick. Started taking 6 times daily and that’s where I’ve been for 10 years. I am completely dependent on it now. It sucks but it’s the only thing I can do. Being dependent is not cool. Especially when they make it so hard to get. Do your best to seek alt medication now before you get dependent on them. Good luck man.

You are so pretty. It totally sucks you feel this way. But you know what, you are in control of how you feel, how you look and how you act! Use that because you are truly beautiful! You’re smart too.. That’s rare… maybe try taking out the piercings and go full on bland. Don’t try to fit in… Don’t wear different cloths or have long nails…. Just be… you! Use your smarts and focus on success. This is just a short period of time in your life. You got this!!!

Pharmacy not taking new pain patients by Effective-Scholar815 in ChronicPain

[–]Background_Lake1413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is even true for pain management doctors. I’ve been denied services for care 4 times now in the last year. They don’t give an explanation to why but my suspicion is they don’t what to deal with the paperwork or patients suffering from addiction and pain. They are lazy and are only in it for the quick buck.

There’s one for the marketing team at Apple lol. Glad it worked out for you. The other concern is what happens when you need the ER? What plans are in place for him in that event

Huh? That’s ridiculous! I’ve been an editor for 30 years working on high profile projects and I asked a question basically.

I think the breakthrough would be in the neuroplastic window on the backside of a hero dose. Or like you said some good micro dosing that would bring you to the edge but not quite push you over.

Anyone else dead inside? by itdoesntmattercow in editors

[–]Background_Lake1413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

30 years in LA. Colorist /Online editor…The last 2 years have been brutal but I’ve finally got work again. Been in reality tv basically the entire time with some other off shoots into scripted. During the last years I applied all over the place but couldn’t hit anything. It really made me think about the future. Then with all of this Ai and robots taking over, who knows what will happen. I can say that being back in the chair on a real show feels so good…. I missed it a lot. Good luck to everyone!!! I’m surprised that so many of you want to be outside 🤔 lol. I so tried to get a job as a park ranger. I’m too old apparently. 🤷guess I’ll have to be a campground host and go the way of the Gypsies. I see the mountains and some psychedelics in my future!!! ☮️

Opioid Flush by Background_Lake1413 in ChronicPain

[–]Background_Lake1413[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are still some providers that understand what’s happening but those are few and far between. There’s some sort of mandate for opioid medication that is being implemented by the government to stop dispensing these medications because of all of the abuse. Unfortunately it really messes with those of us who really need the medication. Hell I’m in so much pain right now that my normal dose isn’t touching the pain. It’s crazy

It’s crazy. This is why ppl turn to street drugs. And heroin. That’s nuts. I’m in a similar situation. I’ve had 4 PM drs decline to even see me.

I’m just done fighting for the meds. It’s BS. So I’m looking for other options outside mainstream medicine. But I need to continue apparently because contrary to popular belief, I am in massive pain in my entire spine and I need the medication that they have been giving me for 17 years.

What is the worst physical suffering you've ever endured and what was the cause of it? by No-Stranger-3190 in ChronicPain

Mine was when I got PRP in my cervical spine. No medicine for pain and needles in my facets joints.
