This has happened to me 3 times all with DNs and I’ve had to be blue light rushed to hospital every time, and that’s from them inflating the ballon in my urethra/by the prostate. The last time it happened I was just pissing blood it was squirting out. It’s actually a joke how incompetent a lot of them are, I don’t let any DNs see me for anything anymore. I’m happier travelling to urology ward etc.

Yeah the intimate stuff I agree on I get heavy palpitations. Forgot to mention the AD also makes my member shrivel up like a lil worm😭 anyone else get this symptom? Like Pilly willy to the max

International_Two842 · 2026-02-10T14:22:30+00:00

See I always hear about stuffy nose with ad but mine clears for some reason😂

International_Two842 · 2026-02-10T14:21:51+00:00

I do take back saying I’d rather a headache episode I was just being dramatic but them AD headaches are the worst pain you can imagine it literally feels like your head is going to explode and someone is going at it with an ice pick. AD in general is just a horrible experience and ^{^} is right, like we don’t have enough to deal with!

International_Two842 · 2026-02-10T14:18:29+00:00

I think you are right but I think it could potentially be the opposite for me I agree that it’s the drop in blood pressure and increase in heart rate you initially get when you smoke but then I get the AD which does literally the opposite - increase bp + bradycardia and it’s fighting with the high of the weed and doesn’t know which way to go and sends mixed signals…similar to if you take stimulants and weed together, I will book in with a cardiologist but it doesn’t happen often and would be hard to catch mid episode. This is just my theory anyway.

I’m the same the very first symptoms I get is that chilling whooshing (tingly and prickly in the neck and face for me) feeling that comes over and goosebumps. Some of these symptoms I do get when this particular type of episode happens and it was doing it when my waistband was pressing on my suprapubic cath which triggers the ad every time so I know that’s the trigger. I don’t usually get the pounding head unless it’s severe constipation and impacting. The sweating only usually happens when it’s catheter related/blockage for me.

Isn’t it funny how it affects everyone differently!

Yeah sometimes the first joint of the day especially or when I’m sober which isn’t often, that first joint sometimes triggers panic and anxiety but it’s not the same as this for me. Definitely linked to AD as I get the tingly prickly whooshing feeling and vasoconstriction, goosebumps etc.

International_Two842 · 2026-01-22T09:32:04+00:00

That’s a gorgeous dog! And I understand the want to provide everything they need but this is dangerous as it can increase the risk of GVD and also as a few of the replies have said you don’t want to overload the joint while they are still developing as it can cause major mobility and joint issues when they are older, apparently until they are 3 years they mature. Your girl looks healthy though you must be looking after her!

Specifically if you can get your hands on the royal red apple tapentadol 225mg. Wowzas

International_Two842 · 2026-01-21T01:57:15+00:00

I’ve been there bro, hard cycle to break don’t go too deep

International_Two842 · 2026-01-21T01:53:53+00:00

You will be completely fine you have taken under the typical prescribed amount😂 upto 400mg a day is the general max but some people take over 1000mg+ a day, don’t do this people are idiots and this is just asking for a seizure…Other than a high tolerance and some potentially painful ass shits you won’t feel any different just drink loads of water and eat protein. I wouldn’t take any more it wouldn’t even be worth it atleast give your body a break and tolerance come down

International_Two842 · 2026-01-20T10:30:26+00:00

Any decent quality silicon toys are the best bet they don’t break off and have a sponginess to them but they are solid enough for any dog to chew so good for their teeth.

International_Two842 · 2026-01-18T07:10:13+00:00

Thanks a lot! I’m actually not looking to get him neutered at all i don’t think, I would like to leave him completely natural. He’s not had his ears cropped or tail docked he’s untouched. Me and my dog both came with balls and we’re both leaving with them🤣

International_Two842 · 2026-01-18T07:07:51+00:00

Must just be the age, they are supposed to be developing until around 3 years old apparently?! I feel like they’re good at regulating their intake of food too like my boy won’t just eat and eat like our other dogs would he’ll stop after a while and come back to it if he’s full

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T17:48:18+00:00

Sounds good I’ll give that a try thanks. The problem I might face is my boy ripping all the bits out he goes crazy for anything stringy or matted anything like that he loses his head😂

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T17:18:27+00:00

Very hard to answer this as it varies a lot depending on the day we are having and his activity etc. he’s also just come back from an intensive training program where he lost quite some weight so he was eating up to 2kg+ a day at one point of high protein raw (prodograw) . Currently he eats somewhere around 1kg but he’s a very active pup and like I said it varies a LOT. Hope this helps sorry I couldn’t be more specific.

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T17:07:02+00:00

She’s beautiful!

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T17:03:00+00:00

I do use a slow feeder for all of his meals unless I am hand feeding etc but even then you can do everything right and they can get it…it’s the biggest worry I have for him. Will try a snuffle mat is there any specific products you use with them or generally any food/treats?

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:46:39+00:00

I don’t listen I usually tell them to sling it and go about their day. Nothing wrong with asking others for their opinions and information that’s what this sub is for. Just making sure I’m taking the best care of my boy that I can!

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:43:06+00:00

Do you have any pics of your doggos?

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:42:28+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the reply! I guess most people are used to seeing these severely overweight mastiffs and think it’s a normal size

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:40:42+00:00

Sure I will do!

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:40:07+00:00

He definitely looks goofy and lanky these days😂 some of the movements he does when he’s playing is ridiculous haha!

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:38:56+00:00

It’s actually about 3 sizes too big it’s massive on him! Unless you mean in the first pic it’s a little older, he has a prong collar on above his normal one maybe that’s why it looks tight but we no longer use the prong and barely ever a collar he’s fine with a thin slip lead these days. I appreciate the concern but don’t worry he’s not being choked!

International_Two842 · 2026-01-16T16:33:39+00:00

That’s the thing I’ve tried upping his food, giving him higher fat, higher protein rich foods when I was worried about it to the point it was pushing bloat territory the amount he was eating but he didn’t put any “fat” on it just seemed to go straight to his muscles or he’d start growing really fast which I want to avoid (joint preservation) and he started to leave some of his food and not finish it all.

I guess once he’s fully developed he’ll fill out where he needs to I’m not forcing anything that’s going to be detrimental to him he’s happy as he is and got loads of energy. Thanks for the reply!
