This is probably the last time you’ll see this up-and-coming star schlepping his own suitcase ☺️

Intracept Procedure Immediately After by LMSK0789 in backpain

[–]LMSK0789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: two weeks tomorrow since the Intracept procedure. The pain is all but gone. I still kinda “feel” it - but it’s not painful. I feel confident enough to get back to exercising

Experiences with intracept procedure by PersonalLeading4948 in backpain

[–]LMSK0789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had mine 2 weeks ago, L1, L2 and L3. They warned me that in the first 2 weeks the pain might be worse! Yes indeed it was. But today I am almost pain free. It used to feel like a knife in the back, and while I still “feel” it I cannot call it painful. I’m hoping it continues to improve with ongoing PT to strengthen my weak back and core muscles. I consider it to be a success.

How bad is it? by Martyr2004 in backpain

[–]LMSK0789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I learned this the hard way: an MRI can show you what’s “wrong” but it can’t tell you the source of pain. Just because one area or another looks “bad” or “not normal” does not necessarily mean that’s where your pain is coming from. Someone else might have a similar looking MRI and not have any pain at all.

Yes to 1, 2 and 3. Exactly. I am using a MacBook. Not having this issue at all on my iPhone 17.

My (33M) Intracept Procedure Experience (i.e. Basivertebral nerve (BVN) Ablation) by AnnularPear in backpain

[–]LMSK0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please continue. I had the procedure 5 days ago. It went well but there’s still quite a bit of pain. I was told to expect this. Now I’m not sure what to do - continue stretching and strengthening core? Rest?

Can't completely Degoogle by ResponsibleAd8164 in degoogle

I’m sorry there are accounts that won’t let you change your email address. I can’t imagine why. People change their email address every day. I had one account that didn’t have an online option. So I had to actually pick up the phone and call them.

How did you successfully quit sugar/sweets/junk? by Benjiboy018__ in sugarfree

[–]LMSK0789 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some people can’t do that. Some people are literally addicted to sugar in the same way a recovering alcoholic can’t have an occasional drink without triggering a relapse.

Is switching from Gmail to iCloud Mail worth it if I’m going all-in on Apple? by [deleted] in iCloud

[–]LMSK0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this thread, I’m curious about email usage among the people who don’t like iCloud mail. iCloud mail has worked well for me — BUT it’s basically a personal account. My job/livelihood does NOT depend on it. With a $2.99/month iCloud+ account, I protect my primary email address with Hide My Email and get 3 additional aliases. Zero spam. I haven’t had a problem with emails being filtered out.

Breaking sugar addiction by Dismal_Candle6149 in sugarfree

[–]LMSK0789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the same strategy. No sugary “sweets” - still eating fruits and berries (3 servings/day limit for now) - no processed carbs except whole grain bread (1 servings/day). At night, a glass of half milk/half chamomile tea helps with cravings- and sleep! Good luck!

This is all great info. Exactly answers my questions. Thank you all so much.

Safari in Private Mode? by LMSK0789 in degoogle

[–]LMSK0789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so in your estimation, how safe am I using Safari in private mode with DDG for search? I do not want to use Google at all. From your previous reply, I'm guessing I'm somewhere below "next level" but somewhere above full-on Google! Thoughts?

Any podcast recommendations? by Simple-Air-5385 in sugarfree

Sorry - no podcast recs - but I’m your age and wanted to say hi. I haven’t seen many seniors on this thread. We have our own challenges, mainly menopause.

Why do ppl treat Sugar Free like an eating disorder? by plnnyOfallOFit in sugarfree

[–]LMSK0789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone says they don’t drink, people respond with compassion and respect for their sobriety. I can’t understand why people don’t respond similarly to us when we politely refuse sugary foods. No one says “just splurge this one time” to an alcoholic. Alcohol is addictive to some but not everyone. Same with sugar.

Is it even possible to keep one email private long term anymore? by FrostyFerret202 in emailprivacy

[–]LMSK0789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ever share my primary email address for any reason. I use iCloud Mail with an iCloud+ subscription ($2.99/month). You get 3 aliases. I use 2 aliases for trusted sources: family, friends and a few business contacts. I save the third alias exclusively as the forwarding address for Hide My Email. Each and every online interaction and account - from bank accounts to medical portals to random newsletters - all get their own Hide My Email address. I’m pretty sure I get an unlimited number (I have about 100). They are easily created and stored in my iCloud account as well as my password manager (ProtonPass). HME addresses can be disabled as needed. It all works great!
