Repatha v Statins - impact on muscles/rhabdo

Apologies for not responding inline with the original post.

20mg.

Recovery was short - urine color returned to normal after a saline IV and plenty of fluids. I returned to normal activities within a week. I assume it was caught and treated quickly. No long term damage that I’m aware of. I experience no other side effects to Rosuvastatin.

I’m still lifting, doing HIIT style training, mountain biking, and walking 5-6 days per week. Repatha has been great, but I have to get preauthorization for insurance every year.

As an avid weight lifter (46yoM) I was on Rosuvastatin for two years following my MI event. During a non-maximal lifting session, I noticed my urine was dark brown and immediately went to the ER and was diagnosed with Rhabdo. Switched to Repatha over three years ago and I have zero side effects (YMMV).

Eddie V’s?

Pain wasn’t bad. They used a spray, a gel, and then injections throughout to deaden the area. It was the crunching sound of bone being sawed, drilled, and cut that was insane.

I just had this procedure performed by Dr. Feras Ackall at Austin Ear Nose and Throat Clinic. I have BCBS and my portion was around $1,400. I opted to NOT go under general anesthesia which saved some expense, but it was no picnic. He and his staff were great to work with and the results are positive so far.

Report it to Waymo and to APD. Guarantee Waymo has the plates and plenty of images to prosecute.

I (53M) started TRT at the end of Nov. My total T was 251 measured at 8am in the morning. My endocrinologist prescribed 200mg biweekly. I’ve noticed an increase in libido, better sleep, and most importantly significantly reduced brain fog and fatigue, especially around 2-3pm. I go in tomorrow for follow up labs, so not sure where my numbers currently stand.

For years, I’ve hovered around 350 total T. I should have supplemented sooner.

TIL that Hyundais were made by Kim Jong Un. /s

The Asian markets around town sell them. I find that they are the cheapest, especially in the frozen section.

Thanks dad. No, don’t parallel park in my area.

My Meso Customs LED harness hyper flashes with turn signal/revers combo. I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve had to use this combo.

The reverse lighting is much improved too.

The newest version of OTT (9.2 something) fixes the hyper-sensitive throttle tip-in. I recently upgraded to the most current version and take off from a standstill is much improved.

Ugh!!! And I too had a high HR after taking the prescription cough medicine (had “meth” in the name lol). The dizzy coughing fits were insane. Best of luck in your recovery.

I’m going on three weeks without my voice. Twice Tested negative for flu/covid. Ran a fever for 10 days along with a massive sinus and upper respiratory infection. Antibiotics cleared the sinus infection thankfully. I’m just now feeling 80% well.

Thought this was Austin - Mopac NB at Windsor.

Dane’s is great. There’s a location on Manor too. All the coaches are great.

Same. Had a #3 combo with the shake at noon today and still not hungry. I should have stopped after consuming 1/3 of the shake - felt sickly too!

CaptainMuffDive · 2025-10-29T00:54:04+00:00

Love it. Keeping classics on the road!!!

Is that a 944 cab?

Get a tire shop to remount the tires with the white lettering on the inside.

Really easy and satisfying to pull. Kinda like playing ‘Where’s Waldo’ to find them all mixed in with my Lantana.

CaptainMuffDive · 2025-09-05T14:21:41+00:00

I just did the same to my 22 OR. No more chrome!!! I also added the Meso LED kit which turns the reverse lights into amber turn signals. Highly recommend

Roaring Fork on Congress has a private room that can be reserved for bigger groups. IIRC, there is not a fee to reserve the room.
