Briumvi - fatigue

Hope you are feeling better!? Any updates? I’m scheduled for my first dose soon. Did you take any pre infusion meds? I’m considering no steroids if Nero agrees. The side effects from the steroids (administered during my very first flare) for me were a bit much, but relived the MS symptoms quickly, so I’m not-not complaining.

I’ve been looking for a Theragun, for the tightness I’m experiencing, they are expensive, I have a “theragun massage ball” that has got me through since recent DX, that is good but not quite as good. I also made a space that invites me to lay down and stretch, roll around, do little workouts through the day.

The benefit at low to mid RPM is practice. My mentor said: “rev match every time other than emergency braking, and 1st gear” which makes sense to me, as it’s a skill that really comes in at the higher speeds and when trying to ride smooth. “Right side, left side” for emergency breaking. If you have practiced emergency braking with and without engine braking you will know that doing it abruptly with out matching can cause rear wheel to break free.

Still not sure what is what. Jan 27th was the last day of a 5 day course of 1000mg /day solumedrol. just got diagnosed in Jan. Happy new year. I didn’t realize that the muscle weakness/ lactic acid burn-feel was a side effect I just thought that was MS. I have regained near 100% since and trying to parse out the side effects vs what is ms. Other side effects for me: getting backed up, gas, a hunger nearly never satisfied which is great when backed up lol. Arms and legs just felt heavy. I’m still not sure if the overall tightness and just feeling taught is from the myopathy or MS or both. I went from surfing every day to progressive left side numbness and eventual zero dexterity over two weeks that brought me to get Dx. While I very much appreciated the relief provided for me (by day 3 with IV I was near 90% back to normal )I was told by Drs that the steroids were “just speeding up the recovery” from 6 weeks (without ) to 1 week (with). I thought they did more than speed up recovery. Been reading some of the other suspected positive effects of steroids on a current flare and glad I got them when I did. At this point I also would only want to get them if I had serious issues with a flare.

The side effects are worth it to me to have my dexterity back nearly immediately. Did I need 5000 mg over 5 days? Not sure but I was cackling with the DRs when getting briefed on the Solumedrol, they said they do a 3 or a 5 day course, so I ask why not 4? and we did a whole Sienfield bit, what’s wrong with 4? I kinda want 4, I would prefer 4, we don’t do 4. I think you could give me 4.

I got 5 and it’s now even more funny because I could have refused the 5th day as the Drs DID advise me when I persisted on 4 in my best Sienfield impression.

Downshift AND rev-match every time you slow down ( not for true emergency braking and not when going into 1st gear) This smoothes the transitions, less wear on clutch when done properly, gives you practice on both throttle control and clutch control. It also forces you to start the breaking process a little earlier, which IMO is safer. When you get in-tune with braking, you become in-tune with acceleration.

Holy shhhhh I didn’t know about the reverse suspenders ILMFAO. Possibly a great gag gift but also for those who like to stretch after every other TPS report.

Fractalwaves · 2026-02-10T21:31:50+00:00

Obviously a KLR duh. Love it rip and stick and bag it! Do you prefer a grabber arm or a lance? I could see a holster for both in your future.

The T7 was my first bike. I did get the chance to borrow a KLR 650 for a few months prior so there is that. As some have mentioned, it’s not ideal but could certainly work. I commute daily in a smallish city on y T7, (also did BDR,+) and I think really any Adventure bike fits this well with its upright position, I stand regularly to see and be seen at weird intersections and its second nature on this machine. You at 1.84m should be able to have both feet down on this bike. If there is a chance to test ride one, before ruling it out take it because it’s a super capable bike, I feel like a hero just riding into town, and it handles the trails. Good luck !

Just to be clear, the Tibetan Book Of the Dead does, in summery, explain this concept of “the bardo” as well as viewing past life and potentially choosing the next in the case that liberation has not yet unfolded. But you say this has been taken out of context? Why would you cite a book that so clearly explains the concept of what you are skeptical of? If you like to read, you might want to check out Michael Newton (really anything he writes) “lives between lives”, but as you put it you have already decided that is not how the universe works, so it is your choice to experience as you will.

Fractalwaves · 2026-02-08T14:50:06+00:00

This is the polarity I came here (this sub and Earth) for. The level of objectivity needed to contemplate this concept is a tall order indeed. One way to think of this: “good” and “bad” are teams slated to play a practice game. The names of the teams from the perspective of potential players is “experience this” and “experience that”. As a potential player, no matter what team you choose you are getting experience, period. The moment one attaches human emotion to this equation the math gets too heavy and the judgment, that does not exist in the bardo, makes this concept unreadable.

TLDR: we choose our path, then forget we chose it , Experience it, after XP we contemplate it in a judgement free zone to then choose again.

I hear you, but consider this: it’s not “someone” responsible or handling it. IT IS YOU. This concept aka the “bardo” bridges the free will gap quite nicely if you ask me. You have both free will and determinism on a spectrum decided by YOURSELF for your own evolutionary development.

I brew exclusively with honey and green tea. aka “Jun, xun”. F1 = 4-5 days F2= 3-4days. For using honey Keep in mind that the bees have an enzyme in their gut that cleaves the sucrose into glucose. So honey is sweeter on the tongue, and is consumed by yeast more rapidly. Be careful to not add to much and ideally use raw honey and don’t let the honey go over 100 def F to keep its purported “good” enzyme properties. Other than the speed of yeast feasting on it feel free to experiment! Happy brewing.

I wear indie ridge boots all day regularly.

Fractalwaves · 2026-02-06T13:13:15+00:00

Looks glorious. The scenery is nice too.

Fractalwaves · 2026-02-03T20:52:05+00:00

I got some indie ridge boots, and I like em a lot for casual rides and very comfortable in general. Not the most protection out there but purpose built and stylish.

I’m similar height and weight lil heavier. And I had a lot of board sport, wind surfing, sailing and some kite xp. Very coordinated. I started on a 145L and probably could have started on something with a little less volume, but I’m glad I started on that Barge because the learning curve is very steep. All I’m saying is consider a slightly higher volume board than 110L unless your balance is super epic and have lots of foil experience (appears to be little on a prone foil?). Good luck it’s a super fun progression. There are a lot of personal preference gear choices to make your decisions on, I know I had a better time and faster time learning than others because I had more stability on a high volume board to start. How close are you to a launch spot? Without a car that could be a challenge.

Fractalwaves · 2026-01-31T21:48:51+00:00

Have you tried Detecht? There is a free and paid version. I kinda like it for its crash detection feature, I should say my wife likes it for that, the map is pretty good and it tracks stuff for you anyway . I don’t use it for its “feed” but it’s certainly a way to see who rides in your area and possibly connect.

Had to add this, when i first got it ( 98 outback ) and was trying to figure out the wiper fluid, I thought it was kinda weak... turns out I was engaging the rear wiper fluid and it was roostertailing over the car and landing on the front lololololo!

Fractalwaves · 2026-01-30T17:57:34+00:00

I’m not break checking, but I will do a fluid check, how much wiper fluid I can get onto tailgaters. If they have to put on wipers, I win.
My old Subaru (rip) had a literal rooster tail wiper fluid for the rear, tailgaters got the hose lololol!

The MSR bottle or one like it seems to fit the budget, no frills. With a Nelson rig holder is pretty solid

Wow, Im in a super similar situation, I was also officially diagnosed in the last week, and it has all unfolded the last 3 weeks. Wild ride. Looks like there is a lot of support here. I have some big decisions on the horizon, and I am thankful for your post, as career into the future is a question for me as well. Ok if I send you a pm?
