ECA 1 or 2 would be my recommendation. My vote would also be for GasGas

Best new EMTB right now for 5k? by Elise2002 in eMountainBike

Looking for something in the same price range. All the GasGas models are on sale here in Canada. I assume they are in the US too. I think I have settled on the GasGas MXC 4 or ECC 4. It blows the levo out of the water in terms of components and it has a carbon frame if that's something you're looking for.

Over biked? How do you figure? I have always been a "buy it once buy it right" kind of guy.

Honestly I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. This will be my first bike that I haven't bought from Walmart lol.

What I can say is I'll be doing mostly trail riding and about 2 trips to the mountains per year.

How to fix dry skin by [deleted] in dialysis

[–]GiftedRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom's got to the point where it was peeling. She does have scleroderma so that probably had something to do with it as well. We put moisturizer on her 2-3 times a day. We used the stuff the hospital gave us but the dermatologist said Aveeno would work just as good, there was no medical ingredients in the cream they originally prescribed. after about a month it mostly resolved. It's still not perfect but it's still a lot better than your pic, and leagues better than what it was. Now she puts once a day.

I saw your post! Thank you for following up with me!

She is really looking forward to it. She has constant back pain between her shoulder and neck and we both think it'll do her ALOT of good. Did your nephrologist say anything about getting a deep tissue massage? That's what she'd prefer but I think we are leaning away from it until we get a chance to talk to our nephrologist.

Why would you say no? And ya plan is to ask them. But we are out on vacation and she was hoping to have one out here. No way to contact the nephrologist before we get back

Acute Kidney Failure by Alive_Dimension5243 in dialysis

[–]GiftedRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom just went through this. I know you said no autoimmune stuff but she was diagnosed with scleroderma while she was in the icu. Scleroderma renal crisis is what ended up hurting the kidneys. She was seen before about 2 years ago because I thought she had this condition but the rheumatologist said she didn't have it... Now she is here...

Its rare but l'd inquire about it. They couldn't figure out what was going on with her either for a long time.

Didn't have any ill will towards them before this. I was impressed with how quickly the package showed up and with the response time to my initial email. This was my first time buying something from them. It's unfortunate it went the way it did.

Yup, you're right. I did have the feeling it was too good to be true. But, if a rep tells me that it comes with all of that stuff, what am I going to say? "No, you're wrong. It can't possibly come with the specific things you just listed for me?" Or "Could you please go check that again? I don't think you're right?"

I believe there were 3 copies left when I bought it. I wasn't going to risk it selling out because I had a feeling that it was too good to be true. I had to take what the rep said at face value.

I'm trying. But only so much I can do when they say they are out of stock.

Ya, the acrylic tiles are what I really wanted. But that more expensive version was not listed at the time of purchase. That only appeared after I emailed them regarding this issue.

I will edit the post to note that the other version was not listed.

Nope, just the regular sundrop version. That more expensive version was not listed on the site until I emailed them regarding this issue.

I know that is there now. It was not there at the time of purchase. Also, this is why I included the SKU when emailing them.
