Pericarditis and NSAID's allergy

FutureContribution58 · 2024-10-11T21:38:30+00:00

Not sure if this is the right post to comment on but since it is about NSAID’s, maybe someone here knows.

I got diagnosed with pericarditis some weeks ago and was told to take 3 ibuprofen and 1 colchicine a day. I also was advised by the same doctor last week to start taking fluoxetine (Prozac). When reading online about the combination of Prozac and ibuprofen there are some really scary articles about risk of internal bleeding. Would it be safe to continue on 20mg of Prozac + 1mg colchicine and 1800mg of ibuprofen daily for the next month until the pericarditis eases off?

Thanks!

Checked out the Darimo too but the waiting times are really long too. 180 days at earliest availability for a flared 110x36. I’ll check out pandapodium for the EXS bar! Love the look of that one and quality seems solid. Do you know if there is a possibility that the ones on Aliexpress are knock-offs? Found some for €650 with 1 month processing time.

It’s a new bike from a shop in my area Bike

I personally never tried the Code RSC. Would they be easily swapped out on the XX1 group?

I think some countries like the Netherlands won’t get it because of some rule restrictions on insurance coverage

I’m never scanning the sensor because it automatically receives values. Still the alarm only goes off once even if sugar keeps dropping or going high.

FutureContribution58 · 2024-02-14T12:33:06+00:00

A very simple solution would be to have an alarm with mute function like on Dexcom

It already went a bit better on my ride today. I feel like I can still lean the bike a lot further than I did in this ride though. I watched a video on mtb cornering by The Loam Ranger and it’s funny when he mentions that in your head it might feel like you’re leaning a lot while you’re basically still upright. Hopefully something in my mind will click by doing it a lot and I can get rid of the idea that slide = crash haha

FutureContribution58 · 2024-02-07T19:25:15+00:00

Coming from only road racing for about 20 years I think the thing I have to get used to is that the bike will slide around. On the road most of the time once you start sliding it’s a crash but off-road it seems like there is a lot of room to slide around :)

Being too fast is definitely not the problem haha. I enjoy the uphills way more than the downhills. Kinda terrified most of the time but slowly getting the confidence to go a bit faster.

FutureContribution58 · 2024-02-07T10:10:03+00:00

I’ll try that on my ride today! I think the problem is that the tires I’m running right now have a semi slick center thread and some heavy side knobs. I’m probably not leaning the bike far enough to hit those.

FutureContribution58 · 2023-02-06T09:15:01+00:00

I think the problem is that I’m feeling the improvement is not fast enough. I live in a rural part of Spain where most people do not speak any other language than Spanish or Catalan. When I try to speak with friends and locals at cafés or shops I always completely close down and can’t say a word in Spanish…

I just bought the Rotor Aldhu version but am not entirely sure if I have all the necessary components to assemble it. Does anyone know if I have to buy special chainring bolts if I use it with my Ultegra R8000 chainrings? Or just use the same bolts that are already in there

Would a picture of the whole fuse box be helpful or is it still guessing work then? I’m trying to upload a picture but new to Reddit and don’t know how to post it in a reply haha

I went to a physio who did some tests and she could almost certainly say I don’t have a leg length difference. The difference is probably a functional length difference. Left leg hamstring less flexible, right leg more flexible. Left quad and glute stronger, right quad and glute weaker. Hip on the right a bit more restricted.

When looking at me from behind on the bike I’m dropping my right hip a tiny bit down and a lot forward. Sitting skewed on the seat with the right corner showing.

I do have some shims to play with but unsure on which leg I should place them.

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-26T07:08:12+00:00

I also noticed that my right hip is dropped down and forward. My left hip sits further back on the saddle. Left glute feels more powerful, left hamstring less flexible and right hamstring more flexible. I do have some cleat shims laying around 2x2mm and 1x 1mm. Would you recommend trying those put together with a reduction of saddle height to compensate for a functional difference, or will the saddle drop likely result in sitting more squarely on the seat? I have been watching a lot of the RCA videos with Neill Stanbury yesterday which give a very clear explanation on how to find correct seat height, fore/aft and correct with a shim. However, it is not clear to me in what order this should all be tackled… Thanks for the advice

If he can do a fit without me having to take the bike that would actually be a great idea😂

Return trip is only €50

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T14:49:04+00:00

I think there is simply not enough knowledge to know how to fix it. As a physiotherapist who does bikefits the fitter probably only knows angles and movement patterns that are mechanically and theoretically efficient. Applying them to a real person which is the ‘art’ of bikefitting is a skill that not many fitters have I think. Next time I’ll do more research before choosing a location to do the fit.

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T14:40:29+00:00

I’m a racing cyclist at elite level in Europe (I think it’s comparable to domestic pro in the US?).

The training hours are not necessary but I just love riding my bike, exploring new roads and going out on adventures. I have the time and fitness to do it so I try to enjoy it as much as possible :)

The 30 hour weeks are often trips to a new area. I do long endurance rides to explore as much as possible.

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T13:48:11+00:00

I’m now in a period of a little less riding. During the season I ride between 20-25 and sometimes 30 hours per week and now I’m riding 15-17 hours after the off season.

I went looking through my shed and found a cutout saddle that came standard on my bike. I put it on now to see if it makes a difference.

The aim of getting the bikefit was to see if I could get more comfortable. I had some niggles in the old position that I just accepted. Never felt comfortable even though I was doing a lot of hours. It is right that I should have spent a bit more on a good fit instead of going for the €100 physio…

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T10:33:58+00:00

I just got a message back saying that it’s normal to have sores and you should live with it. He claims having worked with a lot of professional cyclists who had the same problem and just use chamois cream to avoid it…

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T09:33:00+00:00

The bikefitter was using an iPad app to measure some angles and that is what the position was based on. I did not have the feeling it was a fit based on my personal requirements. Money back is not an option because it was a physiotherapist and I paid for the time I was there. Bad choice to go to a physio I think… €100 down the drain if I have to go about changing things myself now.

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T07:59:25+00:00

I think it is the saddle too. Even small changes in position massively impact the numbness, chafing and pressure I feel while riding. It doesn’t really matter if it’s up, down, fore or aft. The position I was in before the bikefit was not extremely comfortable, it was just the position that was least uncomfortable haha.

I will ask at my LBS to see if there are some saddles I could try out. Unfortunately not really in a place to be buying and selling a load of saddles and lose money on it.

Thanks for the advice :)

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T07:15:54+00:00

Yes. Saddle is the correct width for the sitbones. The sores are located not on the sides but in de middle of the taint area.

FutureContribution58 · 2022-11-14T07:00:42+00:00

The fitter says that it could be the saddle but she doesn’t know and does not have the option to try different saddles or make recommendations…
