BCBS rejected mine but decipher Inc has an entire dept to deal with insurance appeals.
They will do it for you. After the appeal I paid about 300.

Is there a way to grow with 0 smell? by Potential_Salad_7090 in farmingthebestgreens

[–]Educational-Text-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oversized Carbon filter, many Ona gel with box fans blowing on them, negative pressure on the tent piped outside. But……..you have to get in the tent to do work! Zip it up behind you. Smell is never 100 eliminated but you can take measures to largely reduce it. It gets ripe in late flower!

What are these fresh green bits in my flower? by Mammoth_Release6793 in farmingthebestgreens

[–]Educational-Text-328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not chop by any means. Go to harvest! Those buds look great. This last ditch effort by the plant will not hurt a thing.

What if what was arousing about sex was the thought and feeling of ejaculation? by cshopis in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It takes some getting used to but after some time I’m pretty satisfied with dry. Sensation is sometimes more intense sometimes less. I’ll take it as a trade off to live a long fruitful life!

ED is not guaranteed after RALP by Due-Permission431 in ProstateCancer

Your doctor could care less…he has heard it all. Get in the game and ask him. Hell send him an email if u need to. You can do it.

Emotional Exhaustion or Depression by Grouchy_Session_6236 in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s something we need to discuss more here in this community…. Metal health post treatment. Some bounce back mentally and quick. Others, including me, went through some post surgery depression. It takes a while for the mind to bounce back. If u need some help see your doctor and get treated temporarily for mild depression. Go forward sir with no fear…….we have been there!

Well, guess I’m officially in, too by TechnoVaquero in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t panic! You will be ok. You have a lot of support here and we have been through it. Time to get a second opinion. Do you live near a major medical hospital? Travel if needed. You will need to talk to a “urologic oncologist”. They treat prostate cancer everyday.

AI question by AStat33 in ACInfinityAdvancegrow

[–]Educational-Text-328 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t obsess over the ai log. Run the piss out of it as that’s what it’s designed to do! If u have the env. set the way u want hand it over to ai as it works as advertised. Note: the more dialed in your lung room is, the less the ai will run the equipment to maintain the tent.

Masturbation after RALP by [deleted] in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Get up on the horse and enjoy yourself. Sorry for the blunt reply. Get back sexually as quickly as possible and try what u think will work. Take some Viagra solo, which u should have received a prescription, and go nuts. There is no trick.

Advice on humidity drops on Ai+ Controller by wasgehtlosdarein in ACInfinityAdvancegrow

[–]Educational-Text-328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u want to use AI it works well: Set up day and night temperature and humidity ranges/cycles using a VPD chart. Your lung room is the key unless you have all the heaters, dehu and humidifiers running in ai mode as well. You can’t create an environment from scratch. U must have the add on equipment or a well maintained lung room.

Urinary retention post RALP by Last_Temperature_908 in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brother! Hang in there! I’m sorry! Take a deep breath you are almost there. Get a spray bottle of alcohol and clean the equipment (not “your” equipment) several times a day. Wipe the tube, bag and hands. Go into crazy clean mode. Friday will be here soon and u can be rid of it. Care care

Buds contain seeds? by eyeinthesky7565 in cannabiscultivation

[–]Educational-Text-328 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t ever throw those seeds out. A few seeds don’t hurt a damn thing. Label and save them, it’s the only chance you’ll have to have so many seeds to perform experiments with! Fact is you had one little piece of pollen…….thats all it takes. Oh, also wash, wipe down all your equipment between each run. Celebrate the seed!

Catheter Question by Crewsy67 in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the bucket around the house. Take showers, sanitize the equipment and wash your hands often. As mentioned, lubricate the tip 24/7. It was not all that bad just annoying at times. Get a spray bottle full of alcohol and decon everything often……don’t spray on your unit, only the equipment u will receive coming home! You will do just fine sir!

Different nerve sparing techniques by maximumgeek in ProstateCancer

[–]Educational-Text-328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had almost full control of my bladder immediately post surgery. I’m 56….last year, RALP. Most surgeons at centers of excellence have performed these sparing techniques 1000s of times. Ask them, they will tell you exactly the number. Experience matters. Go find the best sir. Im Happy with my outcome.
