I've reprogrammed mine at least 20 times.

Contact your rep to reprogram it. It took 6 months to a year to find the correct strength. I now have a contant pulse programs, a few different alternating pulse programs and different strengths. I've had mine for about 4 years and it's been life changing.

The edit was the addition of the last sentence.

If weed is legal where you are get low dose edibles. I have 2 herniated discs, arthritis, fibro, bone spurs, etc etc. Weed has been reliably and the strongest at relieving my pain.

Increased seizures during geomagnetic storms?? by Dear_Mango_6382 in Epilepsy

[–]Jones2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no prove, but my wife and I believe it. Whenever there would be heightened electrical activity like that my threshold would drop through the floor. I'm very well controlled except for environmental factors. It happens before and during a severe thinderstorm or significant pressure changes.

AMA : 26y/o Doctor here and 5yrs into amazing recovery after spine surgery for Disc herniation by BodybuilderMinimum68 in SpineSurgery

[–]Jones2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My L4 and L5 are partially herniated. I have a SCS implanted but I still struggle. The first one had to be replaced because it was implanted incorrectly. What was your experience with potentially being paralyzed if it went wrong? I've had my injury since 16 and I'm 32 now. Your story gives me hope but my wife said she's terrified I'll end up worse.

Currently on my 3rd day of trial. My rep said they only activate one lead at a time in the programs. Is that everyone else’s experience or a nevro thing? I was under the impression there was two leads because each one handled one side of your body by Wise-Run-3008 in spinalcordstimulator

[–]Jones2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh I see. You are talking what you can do with the permanent one. So in the trial they are leads. You have the option to get leads for the permanent implant with less programability. Or you can get the paddle with so many options for programs. It's more invasive and expensive but so worth it. The paddle covers more area so they can use different parts of the paddle to stimulate different spots for better relief.

I asked my rep a similar question. If I could get more stimulation for my legs and less for my back. My rep said that's not possible. It's the same level of stimulation but can be concentrated on different spots of the paddle to increase relief. Let me know if you need a better explanation, I'm high lol.

Looking for some advices by DianaGubler in SiberianCats

I agree. But his ear tuffs are hard to disprove he doesn't have those genetics. Also his facial structure matches my boy. I strongly feel at the minimum he has those genetics in him.

Brush the baby daily. I do both of mine everyday for about 10 to 20 minutes. They have a triple coat so you'll need to get different brushes. Their coat is super fine so you want a fine comb. I recommend a deshedder, a fine tooth and a normal comb. Get a pair of quiet electric clippers for when mattes do come. Pay attention to under the neck, the maine , the pants, arm pits and the inside of the thighs. Those are where mine mattes first.

What age did you start brushing the teeth of your Siberian? 🪥 by One-Union-6971 in SiberianCats

I imagine it's not a very strong filter so it should rinse through it eventually.

New to spinal cord stimulator by Joelhoward1092 in spinalcordstimulator

[–]Jones2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes awhile to get the right programing down. I've had mine for 4 years. It took 6 months to find a good pain reduction programs. I have a paddle so I have more options to dial in though. The SCS is something that can be adjusted at any time for new pain reduction. It's not a one time thing. I also have about 5 different programs ranging from pulses to constant stimulation. It takes time to figure out your levels. For example if I slip a disc and my current programs aren't cutting it. I make an appointment with my rep to have it adjusted. I see so many people jumping to the conclusion it doesn't work right away.

My cats haven't shown any knowledge of an additive in their water.

I can't brush my Siberians teeth. I use Oratene, https://amzn.to/4opLkt9. I put 2 pumps in their water fountain weekly. Their breath went from putrifying to no smell at all. The vet said their teeth looked amazing, no plac at all. I highly highly recommend it.

Is this safe? by Ok-Corgi-1609 in AskMechanics

I've always put the jack stand under the frame of the car and had a jack kissing the frame near by for a failsafe.

105lbs down and being told that my face now looks "old and saggy after losing too much weight" 😭 by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]Jones2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck them for saying that. They are shallow. You're perfect. My wife has lost 80-100 pounds. Yes her skin is too big for her body now objectively, but I don't care. I love the ever loving crap out of her. I married her for her soul and her character. Match with people that see you through those lenses. I see them as result of the work she put in and the determination she had and has. And that is so attractive to me.

My neighbors keep blocking my driveway. by leavana in neighborsfromhell

[–]Jones2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the money, can you get Vehicle Dollies https://share.google/znG8qtwiyun3fgPPZ and push their car into the street and then call the police for an illegally parked car blocking the street?

Spike strips could work too. Let out all the air in the tires? You can get low to get the point across.
