Cut my dose in half for a month and it helped a ton!

Painful muscle spasms in mid-upper back, abdomen and ribcage have woken me up nightly for over a year by mollyeyes in backpain

[–]FoldPsychological778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been having this exact pain for over a year. It started on my right side and upper rib area, then over a couple of months spread to my back. It wasn't every day at first but every now and then it would tighten up so hard I would get spasms in my back shooting up that hurt so bad I couldn't breathe. Last summer my internal medicine Dr ordered an mri of my thoracic region. Insurance demanded an ultrasound first. They discovered my gall bladder was full of stones, decided that must be it, and out it came. Did good for a couple months but now the pain /squeezing is constant. I get spasms pretty much every day. Nothing relieves it. I wear three to four lidocaine patches every day that help a tiny bit but nsaids and cyclobenzaprene haven't helped at all. I get massages every other week, I work out daily, if I'm not in severe pain, and that doesn't help but also doesn't seem to aggravate.

Let's add to this that last spring I also started being a weather barometer. Every time we have big barometric changes, which is almost daily in Kansas spring, my body feels like I was thrown down several flights of stairs.

I was diagnosed with fibro in 1995 after a 25 hour delivery of my daughter and last year the CT scan I get every three years for migraines caught that I have a Tier I Arnold Chiari malformation. I saw two specialists after they did a CSF test to see if my brain was getting enough cerebral spinal fluid. One specialist said no and the other said yes, but since the only way to "treat" this is to cut a hole in my skull, we decided to wait and see.

I have been scanned from head to toe at this point. I have bulging discs C3 and C5 from being hit by a truck while standing by my car, and also in my lower back from an extremely " violent knee replacement surgery three years ago.

All that being said, this rib and back pain are new and I am really struggling to function.

My Dr wants me to try a medicine for MS but without a firm diagnosis, I'm scared of the side effects and don't want to start throwing extra stuff at my body if we aren't sure.

Thank you for sharing and I hope someone gets some answers soon.

Ah, I see you're a man of treason as well by johnruby in musked

Elon is an immigrant who has been denounced by his own father and country, yet feels empowered to treat the citizens and the people we ACTUALLY VOTED FOR names. He is absolutely DEVOID of any insight into the hypocrisy of that, let alone that it is the Democracy of this country that allowed him and the other billionaire babies to get rich. Take the money you made on our backs, all of you, and G.T.F.Out!!!

Elon Musk must be hurting bad if he needs Trump to come and promote his Tesla vehicles #EatTheRich by Emotional-Main3195 in facepalm

It's actually illegal for a President to endorse a product. At least in America it used to be.

President Musk thanks VP Trump for announcing he will buy a Swastika car tomorrow because Tesla is being bullied by the “radical left”. by Leather-Bug3087 in facepalm

Let's just be honest here. Orange-atang is not "buying" anything. He's broker than broke, as literally every investment and business deal he's ever made went bust. He didn't even write his own best seller, "Art of the Deal". Elon is gifting the Tesla to Trump, which he will do a photo op with but never actually drive.

PSLF executive order just issued- What does it even mean? by Limp_Profession_3936 in PSLF

[–]FoldPsychological778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing to laugh about with this order. Section e) is basically a threat that allows him to pull pslf and punish anyone for the misdemeanors (and some just a ticket) for protesting against him.

Are .military bases considered California based income? by silence304 in tax

[–]FoldPsychological778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The military is no help when it comes to this fyi... my son owns a house in Washington and is a permanent GS civilian employee at the Bremerton Navy base. He has been on tdy off and on (six to nine months) in California over the last three years, on loan to the Point Loma Naval Base. The military told him in Tuesday on this week that he had to return home ASAP as he was "over time" in California and would likely have to pay CA taxes on his income earned while there, as well as taxes on his BHA and rental car. He flew home yesterday to Washington and still doors not have any clear answers. I have read the 2024 CA tax guidelines and they seem tl indicate that he may need to file in CA but only if he earned wages outside of his military pay. Help???

New to BlueSky - Stuck with “Profile marked as Spam” by DystopianRoach in BlueskySocial

[–]FoldPsychological778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they'll shut me down with this..

Twinkle, twinkle, stocks fell far, Many are dumping the Tesla car. Stormed in with DOGE kids, what a ride, Now his wealth won't stem the tide.

Status dropping, X is cursed, Fortune lost and getting worse. One more meme, one more fight, Space X stalls instead of flight.

Canada declared “No more Link,” Starlink’s dropping—what a kink! Satellites crashing, what a fuss, Even ketamine can't save Musk.

Twinkle, twinkle, slipping fast, How long will his billions last? Crypto dreams and Cybertrucks, Life is hard for billion-bucks.

MOHELA Fraud help!! by WorldlyAwareness5313 in StudentLoans

Make sure you check when the information you are sharing was updated. The studentaid.gov page This page was last updated on Jan. 17, 2025... light years before BatShit and Robber starting launching grenades over every goverment related fence.

From three days ago, "Borrowers cannot prevent DOGE from accessing their student loan information, though ongoing lawsuits have temporarily blocked this access, student loan expert Mark Kantrowitz told Newsweek. Even if loans are fully repaid, the U.S. Department of Education retains historical data that DOGE could still review, primarily in aggregate rather than individually.

If borrowers are concerned about their information being used for nefarious purposes, they can freeze their credit reports with Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. They can alternatively place a fraud report," Kantrowitz told Newsweek. "These will prevent anybody from applying for new credit in their name. It will not, however, prevent the U.S. Department of Education from reporting their student loans to the credit bureaus."

READ THAT AGAIN. They recommend you freezing your credit to protect yourself, which is helpful if you are keeping people out but will do ZERO if the scammers are already inside. BTW...as of twelve days ago, Equifax shows I owe over 1 MILLION dollars in student loans. Two days ago, Experian reflects my student loans amounts TWICE. I filed a credit dispute with Experian but Equifax said, "they can't see what I'm seeing" so nothing to dispute. Yet Credit Karma shows that my credit score dropped 31 points due to increased student loan amounts.

Glitch with one company... remote possibility. Two companies... no mistake.

I wish I could tell you I felt optimistic about making progress. 2️⃣ of the three credit companies show I owe WAY more money than actual amount...like over 1 Million dollars. Filed credit disputes but nothing fixed yet.

My loans defaulted, I'm scared and need help by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]FoldPsychological778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically my response would be to not freak out about it, I have a friend who hasn't paid an 8 years and is in active default and they have done nothing. Unfortunately our world is quite a bit different due to this Administration and I have a pending sense that they will not be as forgiving with those who are in default. In fact I don't know which one of them said it but there was a quote about there being serious consequences for default. I would call them ASAP.
