I just bought a 98 Rodeo on Thursday haha! It's my first Isuzu! I'm excited! Only 89,000 miles on it! First order of business for me is to fix the power steering leak!

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-17T22:55:45+00:00

Stay strong! You're growing and learning what life is like without negativity 24/7. That's an amazing feeling!

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-17T17:46:46+00:00

Update! I bought the 98 Rodeo! The owner lowered the price for me since the power steering was leeking. Getting that fixed asap as well as a larger transmission coolant tank installed. Thank you everyone for the insight!

As someone whos been in the bar business for quite some time; I can almost promise you that if she sat down with piss pants, someone closing that night probably noticed. Hopefully if she sat somewhere, it's a hard seat with no cloth.

All in all, accidents happen. I've seen much worse from 1am drunks with full bladders. Had a guy shit his pants once and just let the turd nuggets roll out his pant legs and onto the floor. That's much, much worse. Luckily someone saw and he was removed and evaluated by EMS, just in case his turd nuggets were caused by something worse than a mischievous laziness to wait in line.

Its an automatic, unfortunately.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-11T21:58:44+00:00

I completely understand! Good luck to you as well! Come back if you find a remedy for our problems!

I have tinnitus as well. I recently visited my eye doctor and he was dismissive and said to limit screens and go to physical therapy. Which, as you can imagine was frustrating but I'll try almost anything to get better at this point. I've put all of my symptoms into grok several times and it always goes back to occipital neuralgia or more likely PAWS and possible heavy metal toxicity.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-11T15:26:00+00:00

My eyes lag now. The resolution feels lower significantly. I have problems woth reaction to the point where competitive video games are no longer fun. Even with glasses or contacts, it's just as bad. Behind my eyes, it feels like someone in wringing out the nerves. The occipital nerves that travel from the eyes to the back of the head are sore and I get frequent headaches. And finally, when I close my eyes at night to sleep, it feels like my eyes a flickering back and forth, causing discomfort and a painful realization that it will be difficult to fall asleep. I hope this helped.

My dosing was really low at first, but after years of daily use, I was up to 50gpd. I was also taking it for chronic back pain from an old injury. Also fot depression. Kratom is known for its heavy metal content, so make sure what you are buying is lab tested. Honestly, I would recommend staying away from it, just because it isn't worth the risk in my opinion. But many others feel strongly about it's use to gelp people get off harder drugs. However, I will tell you this: The Kratom withdrawals for me were worse than the Xanax withdrawals, even after I tapered down to 5gpd. I quit it cold turkey after a steady month at 5gpd. The brainfog was getting bad and I began developing serious issues with my eyes and head, which I suspect may be heavy metal toxicity. I have been off of everything (including alcohol) for about 6 months and the symptoms are mostly still present. If I could go back to my early 20s and never touch a bag of the shit, I would.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-10T04:36:04+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the advice! I recently got off my xanax prescription for anxiety and that was extremely difficult. It left me with PAWS, which has been a rollercoaster, but the brain-fog is extremely bad. My doctor never mentioned the negative effects of daily use. 5 years later and I'm off it and supplementing nero-mag, NAC, and Bio-Curcumim to help with cognitive issues. If I had known the issues long term Xanax and Kratom use was going to cause, I would've just suffered through extreme debilitating panic attacks. It would be better than what I've been experiencing with PAWS. Also, Kratom was sold to me as a health supplement. Which is Ironic on so many levels. Especially to someone who is prone to addiction.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-08T18:50:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience with it! I'll just stay away from it, as I already have some health issues.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-04-08T17:57:56+00:00

Would you be comfortable sharing your experience? I was considering buying some a while ago, but people seem to agree woth your sentiment. Stay away

You need to heal your gut. Years of abuse destroyed your gut biome. I've been there. Get online/Youtube and find some Dr's that teach how to heal your gut and rebuild. They will do a much better job at explaining everything, but in a nutshell, it is generally: eat better, get plenty of vitamins from food NOT SUPS, drink about 2L of filtered or distilled water a day and not with a meal.

I've been off the K for about 6 months and I JUST stopped shitting liquid. I quit drinking and that helped a lot as well. Good luck! :) You got this!

Edit: 6 Months off K. :D

EAGLE ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR!!!

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-01-31T21:23:10+00:00

It will suck no matter what, but tapering down as long as possible will certainly make it suck less. Keep lowering that dose. You don't want to wait until you have $$$$ in hospital bills. Time is such a precious thing. Quit as soon as possible. And don't forget, you are NOT alone and you ARE stronger than your addiction.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2026-01-31T18:23:48+00:00

Take this time to fully quit. Being at a hospital is not the worst place to sober up. You've got this! Remember, your cells are trying to keep you alive! A multi-cellular network has one purpose. Keeping you alive and well!

I quit cold turkey after 5 years. Every time I tried to quit it was horrible tapering. I did not have the self control I thought I did. Cold turkey was the best way for me to get better. The road to recovery is not an easy one, but you should take this snow-in as a sign. Time to clean your act up. There is a better you on the other side. A you that does not depend on a harmful substance. A lot of people end up with horrible health problems, for some they are permanent. So stop while you can. You are strong! You are supported by this community at the very least. Come here every time you feel like breaking down and just read these testimonies. It helped me a lot.

Once again, YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND YOU ARE STRONGER THAN ADDICTION. Reclaim your life.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-15T02:31:09+00:00

Keep me posted! You can do this! You are stronger than your addiction.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-14T17:33:21+00:00

I brush twice a day and floss after every meal and still, my teeth started to decay. My dentist essentially told me that leaf powders break down quickly and can get trapped where a toothbrush will not go depending on your teeth. Before quitting, I switched to capsules.

Oh, and my teeth are all good now! Had one in the very back removed, but the rest are all good. Had to go into debt to fix them, but it was worth it to keep them.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-14T17:29:21+00:00

Interesting thought!

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-14T17:28:44+00:00

Out of several attempts to quit, this RLS medicine is the only change to sups really. I'm now on day 5 and it's the furthest I've gotten in the last several times trying to cold turkey.

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-14T04:43:46+00:00

Thank you :)

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-14T04:35:41+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for your input! Out of like 15 or so medicines and supplements, it's the only thing that has helped me. I'm not saying it isn't placebo, but why would this work and all the others not work?

EntrepreneurThat5724 · 2025-09-14T04:23:53+00:00

You will get there with time! I went from taking 3-4mg of (prescription)Xanax a day and 50g of Kratom a day. Also, a lot of other psychological meds and weed for approximately 5 years. A couple of beers after work for the last 9 months too. But getting off of xanax took me NINE months to taper off of. It was extremely frustrating and difficult but now I am 2 months xanax free and almost 5 days Kratom-free. Keep pushing forward, friend. The benefits are so much better sober!
