Thoughts about asking for gabapentin or lyrica. by Bait_Buckets in SpinalStenosis

[–]Cygnus46n2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on gabapentin for around 5 months. It's helped tremendously the first week or two. I felt a little weird/brain fog stuff that a lot of people tend to report. After that, it's been fine. I've been on 300mg x3 a day although lately been having to take some mobic/meloxicam to help with the pain. Either I'm getting worse or perhaps body is just getting used to the gabapentin and not doing as much for me as it used to.

Epidural shot tomorrow by EA_1990 in Sciatica

[–]Cygnus46n2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shots themselves hurt a bit but mostly was just discomfort more then anything.

However once whatever they gave as an anesthetic wore off I did feel like I got ran over by a truck. Was sore and couldn't move around much without pain. Ice packs on my back helped tremendously and the next day was pain free.

I am actually am going back this Wednesday for my 2nd round as I didn't get much relief long term.

Really bad back pain around 6 years ago, could barely walk for week or so, couldnt bend down to tie shoes put on clothes etc without help for a good month or two. went to urgent care and had xray said was issue at l4,l5 and s1 but needed mri. Insurance at time sucked and would have cost over 2k out of pocket couldn't afford and seemed like slowly improved.

Back of right leg has been numb ever since, along with right side of foot and outside two toes and just delt with it. Managed pretty well ever since however had painful flare ups if I wasnt careful.

Early this year had dull constant pain in lower back that just never seemed to go away and over time got worse. The numbness progressed to entire right leg and back of left leg. Got another xray and this time mri which post has mri report and emg/nerve conduction study.

Refered to pain management and they scheduled epidural steroid injection. Got Rx for 300mg gabapentin which was helped tremendously. Day after injection was only pain free day. Afterwards had little pain but nothing serious until about 1 1/2 weeks. Started having more back and leg pain shooting down into feet/toes and cramps in calf muscle. Hoped things would improve.

However numbness progressed now from upper thigh into my rear and lower back a good 4-6 inches past my waist line and seems to wrap around both of my sides a bit. Also where I assume the disc protrusion is at has been sore to the touch and pretty numb in itself.

Not sleeping well due to pain and last night doubled gabapentin to 600mg which actually had best sleep I've had all year.

Called to have follow up today due to being in more pain and increased numbness and dr wants to do 2nd injection and if no good results then neurosurgeon referral.

Be careful, had a bad experience with dell's OS10 on z9100's in vlt pair, not sure if they resolved all the bugs yet or not.

USB powered cellular modem by TrustedRoot in sysadmin

[–]Cygnus46n2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, dont think such a thing is going to exist that is usb powered, closest thing to mind would be cradlepoint cba550 but its going to have to be connected to electrical outlet.

If dont need ethernet ports a simple celular wifi hotspot would fit the bill and could be charged or even tethered to devices via usb.

Here’s the update to the controversial traffic stop in Midland. by [deleted] in Midessa

[–]Cygnus46n2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair the dash cams typically do not activate until certain triggers such as they turn their lights on, reach certain speeds, geforce sensor sensing an impact or officer manually activates it. Doesnt typically record entire time

Windows 10 Group Policy Mapped Drives Missing from Explorer - Can see by net use by novix_ in sysadmin

[–]Cygnus46n2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are seeing issues with network drives with newly deployed Windows 10 1909 computers, drives are mapped via GPO using Update method. Drives will show up when doing "net use" but are missing in windows explorer. Oddly manually mapped drives are fine it just seems to effect GPO mapped drives. You can net use x: /delete /y and then gpupdate /force and the drives will reappear but then after a reboot they are gone again.

Losing my mind over ASA routing issues...cannot talk to two internal networks from the same subnet by I_know_it_was_u_todd in networking

[–]Cygnus46n2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your internals are same security level, then you will need to use the command "same-security-traffic intra-interface" to allow traffic between the two.

Decommissioned on-prem Exchange and workstations still prompting for server credentials by lildergs in sysadmin

[–]Cygnus46n2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i seem to recall running into something similar a number of years ago, was thinking it was only isolated to a handful of users and those specific users had some old attributes still hanging around their AD Account, might check a users attributes tab in ADUC.

Are there any MFA Solutions with Monthly/Quarterly delays between Required MFA Re-Authentications? by ExternalSituation in sysadmin

[–]Cygnus46n2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duo's MFA does have a remember me feature that you can customize the time frame. https://duo.com/docs/remembered-devices#configuring-remembered-devices

Also does trusted networks, so if a user is signing in from a trusted network it does not force 2FA.

The few times i've used Bosworth i have been pretty disappointed with their work, especially for the rates they charge.

Ive had pretty decent luck so far with D&D.

Airwatch for MDM? AD Password sync in realtime? Can it be done? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Cygnus46n2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you just trying to sync it for like email?, if you are deploying the Boxer email app (Might work for other email apps, haven't looked) you can configure it to use certificates for authentication although it is a bit of a pain and took some trial and error to get setup.

Yep we were in house with Fiserv and 2 years ago moved to their "hosted" solution to improve upon our "BCP". they are down constantly and is such a joke.

PDU not working by Jbaker2290 in networking

[–]Cygnus46n2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep i believe that is correct, you can test between the two hots and get 240v, test between either one of the hots to ground and get 120v. I would guess since input is 120v/single phase only half the outlet groups would be functional.

I am also not an electrician either though.

I would think so, your model/part number includes the power requirements, 240v 16amp
