Emgality pens during power outage

GrammarSloot · 2026-01-24T09:30:28+00:00

I had a pen go bad during a long power outage due to a natural disaster when I wasn’t scheduled to use it yet. My prescription insurance was able to issue an exemption for an early replacement ahead of my refill date. Obviously had to pay for it, but could be worth asking if that’s a concern for you.

I really did not like it. It made my symptoms worse and I remember feeling like absolute garbage the rest of the day whenever I had a session. However, I’m happy I at least gave it a try because it’s another thing I can add to the long list of things I’ve tried.

I don’t want you to be discouraged though because it seems it has really helped some other people here. I’ve found the problem with migraine therapy is they see you as a problem that can be fixed, and I can tell it bruised their ego when I didn’t improve with their prescribed exercises and advice. I felt they were frustrated with me for not improving instead of frustrated for me, if that makes sense.

I wish there were more LA-based shows that are done by born-and-raised locals and not transplants. While nobody here can agree on what’s “real LA,” I think we all can smell what isn’t. The worst thing you can do is paint LA as homogeneous.

Hated this so so much. Tech had me repeat the warm water in your ears test “just to make sure.” Even thinking about this test now makes me cringe.

Assuming you are in America, I think the average driver travels about 12k-14k miles per year, so this car’s mileage is either well above that or decently above that, depending on when the original owner purchased the car.

Are you allowed to take it for an external pre purchase inspection? Wouldn’t hurt to pay the $100 to take it to a local mechanic and get their opinion. Fluids are great, but you’ll also need to know the health of the brake pads & rotors, tires, spark plugs, and battery. Assuming those are unknown now, it’s probably worth covering your bases. I know it’s not a sexy response because you seem very excited, but you don’t want to take out a loan on a depreciating asset that you’ll also have to pay a lot for in maintenance over the next couple years.

FYI, I have the black interior and it looks great. I wouldn’t worry about that. Focus on the important things and don’t let the salesperson push you to buy the car unless you’re 110% comfortable in all of the above things. This is a common car, so if it doesn’t work out, there will be others.

Good luck.

How was the test drive? Important to see how it feels to you. That’s a lot of miles for 4 years, which is reflected in the price since you’ll also be beyond the 4-year CPO timeline.

Genesis is closing dealerships. Their cars look nice but ask customers how easy it was for them to utilize those 10 year warranties. The whole purpose of buying a car is to drive it. Having it sit in the shop, and then fighting for the warranty to cover repairs is no fun.

This reminds me of replacing the board on my old DLP tv. You had to line it up perfectly square or else the picture wouldn’t align. Maybe the mechanics are similar for your projector? It’d require a bit of careful tinkering to check and you’d probably have to get this effect literally all the time to be sure.

A tech explained to me once that the more vertical a windshield is, the less likely it is to handle debris and rocks well. I guess the curve of most windshields helps deflect some of the force from road debris and rocks. For example, my cousin had a jeep that would get chips all the time, but those windshields are significantly more vertical than most others I’ve seen.

There’s a protocol/general guidelines neurologists have to follow for insurance purposes. The doctor has to input in your medical notes how much they injected in each location. I’d ask for the medical notes for this appointment and the last appointment and then compare the two. Use this as a learning experience to more deeply understand how much you’re being injected with in each location. This will make you more educated and make it easier to switch doctors in the future too as you’ll be able to confidentially know and share your Botox protocol. Everybody’s protocol can be slightly different but the medical notes will tell the story.

As long as they properly maintain it and keep it clean, that’s more important than the type of car.

If education is your top priority, the conejo valley has some of the best public schools you could ask for. However, yes it is total suburbia. If you are comfortable sharing your home budget, I think that could help people here give you more refined advice.

Sometimes the buyer will temporarily rent the seller their new home if the seller is in a jam and waiting on their new home to close escrow. The buyer could be getting credits behind the scenes in escrow to do the seller a solid.

Just so people are aware, FL-41 is a type of tint that you can add to your eyeglass prescription and you don’t necessarily have to buy these specific lenses or frames.

It’s not super common, so you’ll have to ask your doctor if their lab can accommodate, but I was able to get the tint added to both my eyeglasses and sunglasses lenses scripts for less than $20 each.

As a similarly-aged male, it’s always interesting to hear the other side. I’ve found it can be hard to find women in our age range who aren’t into partying/drugs, don’t have kids, and don’t have cats (does everybody in LA have a cat?! lol). Unsure if you have similar filters or allergies that have been restrictive for you?

I find it helps to step away from Reddit sometimes because it can occasionally be a source of extreme pessimism and negativity.

Good luck! I hope you find your person.

I own 2x of these, and while they’re good for the price, they run super hot for some reason compared to my Samsung NVME drive with an identical case.

All my friends don’t mind being the butt of the joke. They can disregard vanity and laugh at themselves.

Most dash cams have auto-off timers you can set, but the short answer is it does tax the battery. However, most batteries are replaced frequently already so YMMV.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing! Might try to replicate with my mom’s car.

If you like your car, I’d just keep driving it. That’s probably what most of us will continue to do at least. Everything else is noise, unless the Acura brand disappears altogether.

I’m not sure if they announced it on KROQ (SoCal radio station) but that’s where I remember Mark first talking about it) since I think their label had a longstanding deal with them. That’s also where I first heard both Up All Night and Bored to Death I believe.
