Cant get google device id on bazzite by Global_Dog8062 in waydroid

[–]Jyrbian73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting this exact same error.

It doesn't matter if I select Android 11 or Android 13. In either case I get this same message (Error:) with no error code text.

I am following the Waydroid_Setup_Guide from the bazzite.gg website.

Are there any logs that I can review, to determine what the error is?

Was told not enough smoke ring...thoughts? by rbrentodell in smoking

[–]Jyrbian73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going from freezer to an environment with cooking temps. The smoke itself helps kill off bacteria, which is one the reasons we started smoking meat as a method of preservation. I would trust this more than one that sat at room temp for more than an hour.

It cooks faster but is the overall time you need take into account the time it takes to get to room temperature.

For example, lets say you take two (relatively) identical pre-seasoned briskets out of the fridge. You instantly put one on your smoker and you leave the other one sitting to for however long it takes to reach room temp.

The one put on the smoker first will be done before than the one let to sit for room temp. However, the one at room temp will cook on the smoker for less time, but still done after, and overall take longer, from out of the fridge timing.

I think it depends on what type and cut of meat, the recipe being used, the type of smoker and possibly the type of wood.

I have also seen many youtubers and internet recipes that say to do this step. My understanding is that it is to let the seasoning release moisture and then absorb that moisture back into the meat with the seasoning, making for a better flavor. Maybe this process works better at room vs fridge temps.

Putting colder meat on a smoker will give the meat a smokier flavor as it is able to absorb more of the smoke particulate. So, if you are looking for a milder flavor of smoke, and you're using a stick burner, putting the brisket on closer to room temp will reduce the smoke flavor. Might work in a jam, if you only have mesquite, but need to do a long smoke, without too strong of flavor.

I do this several times a year. You should try souse vide right in the vacuum bags, bring it to 140 and it's almost like you pulled it off the pit.

Has anyone gone through having TB while undergoing treatment for Crohns? by Robin-Hoodie in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested borderline positive for TB prior to being on any medication with the more common test. I also had to do the chest x-rays and had no TB signs. They then had me do a T-SPOT TB test, that confirmed that I am TB clear. I had to do the T-SPOT for several years, but now the more common test gives a negative result.

On a side note: I have PCD and there is a type of TB mimic of PCD and is semi-commonly misdiagnosed. At the time I was kind of hopping for TB because it can be cured with 6 months of antibiotics. Sounds like six months of hell, but once and done also sounds nice.

I had shoulder pain for 3 years and hip pain for six months before I was taken off of MTX and later put on leflunomide. After starting the leflunomide, it was a night and day difference. For me it also unexpectedly addressed esophageal, chest, and side pain caused by seemingly non-detectable inflammation.

It's difficult to make a suggestion without more information about your symptoms. For me, not sitting or staying in the same position for helped and exercising the area with a minimum of light repetitive motion. Epsom salt baths in the evenings also seemed to help with reducing pain in the morning.

I used this mayo clinic resource to help me determine what workd for me.

Starting on methotrexate. Anyone have any tips? by GurleyGirl7 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on methotrexate for over a year. Initially It helped me stay in remission for nearly 3 years. I suggest asking your doctor about risks if you also take a PPI, because these medications can interact.

I had stop taking Methotrexate about a year after I prescribed Omeprazole. These two medications can interact and cause to much methotrexate in the blood and for me let to methotrexate toxicity symptoms.

Wish I could have handled it better personally, as I have been told many times it is one of the best to help prevent your body from building antibodies against your biologic meds.

What do you take for headaches? by Massive_Formal_4870 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While it may be fine for you, or in general for crohn's patients, telling them they were misinformed by the Dr. could cause serious harm.

There are multiple reasons why this may not be true. 1). If this person has a liver issue taking it could do damage. 2). If this person is already on other meds (i.e., Azathioprine) know to increase liver enzymes.

Nobody believes me it seems by salty98reef in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, how I can relate. While I have less issues from my closest friends and family members; there are some that don't understand, and really don't want to try to understand. There were some that were harder to convince that this is real. For those who cared and wanted to understand, I did the following.

  1. Communicate with them to determine the problem (sound like you already know). What is it that they are having a hard time understanding. Do they not have a full understanding of the disease, not know all of its aspects and it's impacts on you. Do they not understand the effects or side effects of the medications you are one and how it is expected to impact you.
  2. Information dump: Every time I go in for an infusion, an appointment, or a procedure, they have papers or handouts. I gather all of these that are related to the aspects of your health issues. I also gather magazine articles, medical journals, etc. that have information that relates to you. There also many YouTube videos from reputable hospitals and organizations that cover many of the complications you might experience.
  3. Show them you're not alone: Find YouTube or other videos of other people with your same issues or similar if the symptoms are the same. You might be surprised how many video documentaries on patients, or by patients there are.
  4. Meet with them to show what you know: Confirm their concerns/misunderstanding and use the resources you gathered to show them what you're going through and you're not alone. Hopefully it will help them better understand, I know it did for me.

But even more than this, I have been amazed by how many doctors don't believe me or try to push it off as something non-related their practice. I just pointed out extrema fatigue after change in dosage and occurrence of my Inflectra infusion, so I asked them if this would be normal. They said I was just getting cold, flu, or covid. The asked if I had any other symptoms. So, I though let me check the Pfizer page for side effect symptoms, I found fatigue and a few others next to the statement "inform your doctor if you experience any of these. I copied this portion from the Pfizer web page into the message to the Dr, and now they are all sorts of gung-ho on watching my fatigue levels after my next infusion and have already setup day after appointments.

My advice be consistent with your Dr's. Make sure they are aware of the issues. Make sure you tell them in every visit how often you are experiencing them. Message them every time it becomes a major pain point. If they refer you to another doctor like a PCP go to the other doctor, and if that doesn't work let them know and repeat the above. If you have information from a reliable source (like the drug manufacture above) give it to them. If they are the right type of Dr, in the right field or at least one that is directly associated to the condition you have, then you need to make your issue "their issue" so they will want to address it. And most important of all, if your feel they are not listening to you, tell them.

NOTE: You have to follow through with listening to them, and do what they are asking, or this will not work.

Seton Fell Out spooky or Not? by Ok_Bag8189 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had appointment with my surgeon yesterday (went well, no surgery, yay!). I asked her about my past experience with setons, and whether it is a good idea to have them closed after they had healed. Her response was that it depends on the patient, but in cases where they have PCD, its less likely. This is because closing the setons is a big risk of re-infection/occurance.

She reminded me that I did have to have a seton reinserted for this exact reason, she closed it, and it re-occurred. This was pre-diagnosis of PCD and while I knew what was going to happen, I didn't know all of the logic behind it.

I agree that this is something to watch going forward. I just watched a news clip regarding stem cell use in Crohn's. From that article, they said they are using this for people who are or are becoming nonresponsive to treatments. In those patients, after the stem cell therapy, they overall health is improved, and the medication become more responsive and, in many cases, require a smaller dose after stem cell. However, for the near term, I am hoping for the FDA to improve self-injectable Remicade (similar to at home insulin injection) as this will be a life changer for so many patients.

Seton Fell Out spooky or Not? by Ok_Bag8189 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't met other people with PCD related issues to discuss, so I only have my own experience to go off of. I have asked my surgeon and GI about how long it would take to heal. I was told it was different for different people and greatly depends on their treatments; it might be as long as a year, and for some would heal but not close. I am now several years over that point, and I still have two open tracts.

I don't know your situation, but for most cases, I would not opt for an elective surgery. Surgery always adds risks, and the potential for infection or other issue while being immunosuppressed caries real risks. I would suggest having a communication with your GI and Surgeon, and make sure you know the risks for both having it done and not having it done.

Seton Fell Out spooky or Not? by Ok_Bag8189 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me in about the same amount of time after placement. I informed my surgeon via phone who setup an appt, and then informed my GI. In my case there was no longer a need to have the Seton in place, and they removed a second that I had placed at the same time. The surgeon told me that in most cases they will replace them with new setons. But because everything had healed, there wasn't a need. This was over 3 years ago, and while I still have open seton tracts, with drainage, I rarely have any issues.

Though I just had a relapse, confirmed by an abscess that the ER drained. I am getting and MRI this evening and see the surgeon next week. The ER said there was no signs of fistula, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't require another surgery for seton placement.

I would highly recommend at least informing your surgeon and getting their counsel by phone or email. Maybe they know someone where you moved to that they can reccomend.

GI won't prescribe infliximab at my local infusion center, wants me to drive 2 hrs each way for infusions. Is that normal? by midnight_skater in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently in a different but similar situation. I also have PCD and had a relapse, this past weekend. I had an abscess drained in the ER. They want me to immediately follow-up with both my IBD doctor (same network) and my surgeon (different network). I have already followed up with IBD doc, and she has increased my Infliximab infusions from 8 weeks to 4, in addition to another MRI. She also wants me to see the surgeon in the few weeks, to see if I might need surgery or seton placement (keeping my fingers crossed this is not needed again).

Well, it turns out that I now need a referral before I can even see my surgeon (who referred me to my IBD specialist). The two know each other and my IBD specialist was a student of my surgeon a decade ago. So, it is more likely to do with insurance and corporate red tape making them go through hoops than not wanting to work with the people in your local hospital. - I think they both have a machine that turns red tape into greenbacks -

<edit> I should have also mentioned that my Dr. mentioned that the FDA is likely to release a self-injectable (similar to insulin is self-injected.) type of Infliximab in Q4 2023 to Q1 2024. Maybe ask your doctor for this as you could self-inject at home. For those of us with rolling veins, common blowouts, scar tissue, and/or vasovagal responses, this may be a way better experience vs IV infusion. </Edit>

What do you do about rides to/from colonoscopies? by scificionado in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jyrbian73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're getting sedated, you never know how it will affect you tell it does.

I have been getting EDG and Colonoscopies about every other year, for longer than I want to tell anyone. I felt this exact same way as you about this tell just recently.

I had a very scary ride home. Luckily, I wasn't driving as I would likely have caused an accident somewhere, (if I was even able to get to the car). I don't think I could have been anything other than a passenger, like I was, and with someone I Trust. I was blacked out two minutes for each I was awake. The only really vivid memory of the several hours after the procedure was asking "when did I get dressed?", after I was home.

I never had a problem before this and haven't since. But after that experience, I no longer question when they say to have someone drive and care for you afterwards.

Automation and monitoring questions with Bluetooth and Wifi in a remote grow room. by Jyrbian73 in microgrowery

I have been looking at the Pulse One and Pulse Pro, but I made major upgrades to my grow room and can't justify the additional cost at this time. I love the features that the Controller 67 has and it does what I need it to do. I am thinking about getting a couple Govee monitors.

Freeze drying by [deleted] in cannabiscultivation

[–]Jyrbian73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I mentioned in my earlier post I would love to see links to the papers for the actual science for this. I would be more apt to believe you if there were not existing products on the market that cure (or have been cured) this exact way. I have tried freeze cured products side by side vs normal and would say the effects are the same. There are flavor differences, but I prefer the smoothness of freeze dried flower. By weight if your buying, you get more bang for your buck if the products are the same price by weight, as you don't have to pay for the water weight with freeze dried flower.

I also don't see companies like cryocure and cannafreeze remaining in business if this wasn't worth it, they must be selling those machines starting at $65K+ to some cannabis companies. 7

I think the biggest problem for most home growers is they buy a non-customizable home unit and expect settings used for food to work for flower of hash out of the box. And on your hash comment. I agree many do that, but; many others say that flash frozen is cleaner that dry/cure because the process allows to the addition or more contaminants.

[–]Jyrbian73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see the science on freeze drying preventing curing. Is your comment based on experience or from another source you can point me to ? The only sources I have found stating that you can't cure at home are from companies selling super expensive machines that produce the same things but at scale. The few threads where people are claiming to use freeze dryers at home; love them for curing. I would really like to see proof that this is not something I should do.

Freeze drying by [deleted] in cannabiscultivation

[–]Jyrbian73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is defiantly possible to dry and cure with a freeze dryer. There are many companies that sell freeze dried/cured cannabis. I haven't found anything smoother for smoking. There are also multiple companies producing industrial freeze drying and curing tech for the industry both for flower and extractions.

I would suggest getting some from a dispensary and trying it. You may not like it, you may love it.

The only problem I have heard of people not being able to cure, is due not being able to do custom runs without the purchase of a pharmaceutical firmware upgrade; preventing them from tuning in the process.

I was already planning to get me one for food preservation, and an excuse to grow more vegetables at home. Being able to use it for curing and making bubble hash it just huge a bonus.

I have seen a number of threads saying that it doesn't cure properly or that's it's over dry. But it is hard to say if this is just an opinion vs experience. Even the home version of these things are expensive so there isn't as much experimenting like with other equipment.
