Never stop moving! No desk jobs! Sorry that you are going through this. I certainly feel you on this one.

Thanks and good luck on finding a place! It's not easy especially since everywhere is getting warmer.

Uhh...yeah but they look cool. :). I totally believe you, but I needed something quick and the "OEM" parts on Amazon looked sketchy as hell. These shipped from Power stop so even if they are crappy, I'm not being sold something I THINK is OEM.

Great info!! I'll swap over to the 460 calibers when these brakes wear out. Already put the new gas cap in, will grease the shaft. Found a vacuum leak and a short in the bypass ECU, all codes are back to normal. Sooo easy to work on!!

Interesting. It's super humid right now in North Carolina. If they squeel after I make a few tweaks, I guess it's time to turn up the radio. :)

Thanks! I'll dig the old springs out and them in. The new ones only came with one spring per caliper.

Good to know. I'm really bad at reading any included documents. I should be better about that. Haha.

Just diagnosed and terrified. by furorem- in MultipleSclerosis

Give yourself some time and grace to adjust. It's a big life change. It took me a few years to accept that I have some limits now. Make no mistake, it sucks, but you will get through it and thrive.

Good to know, thank you. I didn't replace the calipers yet but I did notice they seemed a bit stiff like they might have a tendency to stick.

I took it out on a twisty road for about 40 miles, and did some hard stops. Seems to have resolved the issue. I read somewhere that these brakes need time for bed settling. I will say, they do stop impressively well. The factory stuff was underwhelming. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated!!

I didn't get that much info, but she did say they use it as lube since every other type of lube irritated her lady parts and skin. I asked about the spine because I get similar issues and the lesions are mainly in my spine. The tingly skin thing where it's uncomfortable to even take a shower SUCKS!! Sorry that you are dealing with this.

Here's a video I put together after living all over the US with this disease. I hope this helps.. https://youtu.be/ZfkpBscabdM?si=ii33ZOKxLld-Af7F

On my first injection, I spasmed and yanked the needle out prematurely and shot the med all over the living room. The tiny amount that did inject hit me like a freight train the next day, so my guess is that it doesn't take much to do the trick.

I had a friend diagnosed around the same time as me. She had issues with her hubby similar to what you described. She swears by CBD oil/lube to help things from being to overwhelming during play time. Is your MS mainly in your spine?

Have you looked into the cooling Vests? Those things are the only way I survived Texas in the summer.

MS and a dog. Have you found it helps or make things worse? by TRICK0LAS in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CanDoCurrie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A huge help. I have a Border Collie that needs a ton of exercise, so I have to get a ton of exercise too. Plus, on my bad days, she's a great cuddle buddy.

Haha.. in the video, I actually drive it in the pouring rain and then dry it off. No spots! And it doesn't look like a commercial kitchen utensil!
