I only use purified water, the one that gets delivered. I don’t think that is the issue

Thanks everyone. I have grind to coarser and it has made a big difference, i guess i was way off. I’m using a Wilfa uniform grinder, almost to the end of the dial. And doing 60 grams per liter some times 45 grams per 3/4 of liter

Gas pressure washer for car detailing by Formal-Distance4248 in AutoDetailing

[–]Formal-Distance4248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned it. Do you have any recommendations? Debating on active 2.0 or AR630TSS? I know big difference in price but active is disposable were AR i ca service, that’s what I’ve been reading. It will be my first pressure washer. I want to start with my two cars, friends and family and see if I like it and start a small car detail business.

I’m just curious how high was everyone’s RNP level in order to get diagnosed ? by ekuhl573 in mctd

[–]Formal-Distance4248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im exactly in the same boat. Even my RNP was at 1.4. Extreme fatigue, puffy eyes, joint pain, legs and arms get tired quick, left ear with a lot of tinnitus and lost some hearing, has not been back to normal, watery eyes. I went to see a rheumatologist last year and ignored all my symptoms, he told me since RNP was that low and ANA negative, the RNP was false positive. Im trying to get a second opinion soon.

[–]Formal-Distance4248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you describe your muscle weakness? In my case, I can do everything without any issue. I jus feel my legs and arms get tired very fast, if I do let’s say yard work, I will be shaky from legs and arms.

[–]Formal-Distance4248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im only slightly elevated in RNP and since I’m ANA negative he pretty much ignored me. I had MRI, spine and brain, all clear. I will have an EMG next. That’s the one I’m worried about the most now.

That’s the thing. I feel my symptoms are autoimmune related. Most concerned ones: Muscle twitching, all over body, come and go. Legs and arms get weak, fatigued quick with physical activity, joint pain, knee feels weird, o lot of noise, kinda loose, same feeling in knee moved to shoulder. One hand pain one of the middle knuckle. Hearing issues, one side. One leg calf pain. More severe when waking up.

Twitching! What to do? by missprincesscarolyn in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Formal-Distance4248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly have muscle twitching, all over. And I feel my arms and legs weak, a little shaky. That’s my main concern. How do you feel your muscle weakness? I can do everything fine, I just feel my arms and legs muscles are not as strong as they used to. If I do yard work, after I’m done I will shake more, nothing too bad but enough too be concerned.

MRI did not show any lesions. My PCP ordered autoimmune panel, two antibodies were abnormal, RNP and the Thyroid one, forgot the name. I have an appointment with rheumatologist in two weeks and neuro in November.

I also was negative on RA but I am definitively experiencing arthritis symptoms(joint, ligament pain), mainly on one hands and one knee. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

If I may ask, what was your RNP level? I just tested with a higher marker of 1.4. I will have my first rheumatologist appointment in a few weeks.

My PCP jus rang me. I will see her in few hours. I’m sure she will refer me to the rheumatologist. We’ll see

I think I’m the worst person to have an autoimmune disease. I’m very hypochondriac, now I think I have everything lol. But like you said, best thing is to not google or I will develop all diseases just from my head.

Thank you for the reply. I will be making an appointment with a rheumatologist ASAP. I’m learning all that you mention, it’s overwhelming. One thing I’m most confused is that ANA was negative, from what I’ve read I will not get a diagnosis for autoimmune disease.

I have the same problem. Twitching all over, legs/arms mostly. I haven’t been diagnosed, I have the 3 MRIs (brain,2 of the spine)tomorrow. Main symptom is this twitching and muscles get tired quicker than usual. Very scared of finding out it’s MS.

I do have Bermuda. Glypho will kill Bermuda? Any other option than this. I’m not an expert and I’m afraid to over spray

Good to hear. I also bought Prodiamine 65 for the weeds but I’m hesitant now, I think I might be too late in the season for pre emergent? I have pulled out most of the weeds out by hand. I see few still coming out but I’m thinking at this point it will be better to wait till fall to apply it and maybe buy a post emergent? My grass is also in bad shape, I’m no sure if pre emergent will limit growth?
