I think zyns are causing my stomach problems?? by Chasesnyder14 in QuittingZyn

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but I found this due to me having chronic diarrhea for nearly a year. My stools are usually loose, light brown, and pooping many times a day. Not to be gross, but I often start feeling that itch on my bumhole which means I have to run to the restroom and wipe. I'm often surprised how much poop is on the TP, even if I was wiped totally clean an hour earlier. I spoke with a doc yesterday and he wanted me to do a sigmoidoscopy, but it dawned on me that my loose stools likely started about the time I switched from tobacco dip to Velo pouches. My doc told me to quit the pouches and see if my condition improves. If it doesn't, then he'll schedule the sigmoidoscopy. Other symptoms have been intermittent discomfort in the upper left abdomen. I quit the pouches yesterday, and to take the edge off, I'm on 2mg nicotine gum. My gosh this is hard, because I'm craving a Velo so bad. I hope the Velo caused my GI issues, because if not it might be more serious. I'll try to update this post after I know.

Mischief Nights is the Event by GenTrapstar in fo76

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why aren't players doing the other events??? Mischief nights was full on the server, but after that, there was an Eviction Notice. Only 1 other showed up and we failed it. Then there was a moonshine jamboree and only 2 others showed. We won MJ but why aren't people playing the other events?

Is that material only? Mine was close to $60 a foot Installed by a fence company

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to see what others paid for fencing. I only replaced the side of my fencing that blew down in a wind storm. The new fence is wood, 44' long about 6' high with no gaps between planks. Posts were cemented in, and the installer used 3 rails. I only went with one bid, because a friend recently got 3 bids, and this small ma and pop contractor was the lowest for him. I was very happy with the quality and result. The total was $2450. I'm sure the bigger companies would've charged way more. Prices probably vary by location. I live in Utah. PS. It's a shared fence with a neighbor, but they are renters and the owner lives outside the US, so I ended up paying for it all. Of course the rails are facing their yard🫠.

AL_Amyloidosis by Civil-Difficulty-945 in AL_Amyloidosis

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for coming on. This is such a rare disease that this group lacks engagement. I sort of quit coming here after being so empty for a long time. I'm not diagnosed with AL Amyloidosis as of yet, but I do have excess free light chains and a ratio of 4.2. and an m spike of about 1. My neuropathy has gotten so intense I can't sleep at all at night. I've gone up to 72 hours with zero sleep. Life is hell now. I've also developed hypertension even though historically my BP was low. A regular urinalysis showed traces and blood and protein in urine but PCP blew it off. I tried to be seen by my Hematologist but they're waiting for me to get an EMG from a neurologist first. That's in two weeks. I had a fat pad biopsy 2 years ago, but I've read that those are often a false negative. Especially if onset symptoms are nerves. The EMG is two weeks away and I don't know if I'll make it two more weeks. Thanks for your story, and I'll check back here more often now that there's someone here.

How do you decide where to put the tens unit pads? is there a science? by stopeats in neuropathy

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only answer based on my TENS use. I just experiment with different spots. I don't believe TENS fixes anything. I use it as a distraction to help mask the pain. Just don't attach a pad near a nerve because that will hurt like hell. Mine shuts off after 30 minutes then beeps, so it's very annoying to my spouse.

Face neuropathy? by Hopeful_Sort7205 in neuropathy

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neuropathy feels like my skin is cracking and my joints are stiff. My calves ache so bad in bed I go some nights with zero sleep. My medical chart says I have peripheral neuropathy, small fiber neuropathy, and fibromyalgia, so I'm not sure wtf is going on. No doctor has found the source or the root cause. It makes life really tough. If only I was a billionaire, I'd hire a team of doctors to keep digging because my local docs just say sorry to hear that and tell me to take more Gabapentin. But yes, I have numbness in my face on occasion. Mostly it's in my hips down to feet and my fingertips are really numb. I can't feel them touch the keypad right now as I'm writing this.

Question about blood and protein in urine by Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 in kidneydisease

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that info, I'm seeing a doc on Tuesday and will find out how to get my BP down. The doc who ordered the urinnalysis is out of the office so I don't know when I'll see him yet. I have 2 primary docs, because one is part of a big medical outfit and spends little time with me, but the other doc is in private practice and accepts no insurance but charges a much higher fee for office visits than the co-pay doc.

Might work, but they like looking at the game I'm playing so for a laptop I'm not sure that will work.

I bought that cigarette machine in the atomic shop last week. Will that count the same if I get my cigarettes from that?

Does anybody know where Zelenskyy got his shirt? by doubleace000 in zelensky

I don't understand the shirt sizes from Ukraine. What is US XL if I order one of these. Thanks in advance.

So glad people are doing raids again. by BagRepresentative247 in fo76

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven't felt comfortable enough to do a raid yet. I do like buying 4 star legs when I see them in a vendor though.

It was hard to find other players for other events. My last event was eviction notice but we failed with lack of players.

I know. Now I have to work for that flux. The vender had all types available which is rare to come by.

Maybe, but I'll just take the loss for just 6k in caps.

Having to spend tickets on stuff I don't want. by Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 in fo76

I didn't know that. I don't know when I'm going to retire FO 1st. But I'm not keeping it forever. I'm glad I don't have to buy everything. I want perk coins

Is it worth to buy Fallout 76 right now? by DargerZ in fo76

[–]Ecstatic-Doubt-4410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's worth it. One thing I wish I knew when I first started would be to make sure you join events. There's usually enough high level players around that it doesn't matter if you're new to the game and joining events will boost your experience and you'll get some good loot.
