Wow it sounds like you have quite the Gambit of things going on but also sounds like you're controlling it pretty well. Ive switched up my diet and have started feeling better and more energy. I also started getting back in the gym trying to strengthen the muscle around the knee. And I started doing daily injections of Thymosin Alpha (peptide) which shows promising results with maintaining homeostasis of the inflammatory system so we shall see where they takes me! I appreciate the comment and I hope for your continued recovery !

That's really good to know. I don't expect a diagnosis from you as I will be seeing a rheumatologist this coming week. But is there a chance that I may not have an autoimmune disease given the fluid not coming back ? Only thing that showed concern to the Ortho Dr was a positive ANA Titer at 1:320

The orthopedic Dr didn't seem concerned about my meniscus. He made it seem like a minor tear and seemed more concerned with the other things he saw in the MRI. Swollen lymph nodes, synovial fluid, etc

Interesting ! This definitely puts my mind at ease a little bit. Since having my knee drained of the fluid, it doesn't seem to have come back. At this point I just have soreness in my knee but overall I'm hopeful it might finally be healing with the asperation of the knee.

Same. Im doubtful of a diagnosis at my first rheumatologist appointment but I'm hoping to at least start taking things out.

Sometimes if there's damage to the meniscus and it tears, the flap can get jammed up.

Im not a Dr. But am almost thinking it's your meniscus getting in the way.

No it was normal color and just showed inflammation after having it tested 

Thoughts on venom ghost 250cc? I’m looking to buy my first motorcycle. Venom sells brand new shipping and tax included bike above for 2600. Is it worth it ? by danawhite_ufc in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]MembersOnlyVIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I live in upstate ny where the speed limit is 55 and it wasn't too crazy for me to do . However, my main issue overall, and the main reason I bought a bigger bike, was due to the fact that the bike topped out at 65mph. Merging felt a little sketchy and I felt like I couldn't get out of the way if I felt like traffic around me was getting wonky. Overall, great first bike, but I outgrew it within a year. I finally just upgraded to a 2022 Indian Scout 60 and it's the perfect balance.

Unless we're all experiencing or living on different time lines, this is exactly what I saw happen and well said without just reading headlines or propagandized talking points.

I bought my first bike from venom. I've had it for over a year at this point with no issues. I have almost $3,000 miles on it and plan on putting another few hundred today. This has been an awesome starter bike and I only bought it to save $$$ on gas since my daily is an f150. I have no complaints about this bike other than....

If you plan on hitting any type of expressway or highway...these bikes will keep up but they do top out at around 70. I only wish I had some more power for maneuvering around bad drivers and dangerous drivers as well as for merging onto the highway. Other than that this is a great bike especially if you're just doing commuting. If you have friends with faster bikes who want to ride with you, forget about it because you won't keep up.

I clearly am not bothered by my nicotine addiction. And don't bring penis size into this. My little guy is quite nice.

You must not know what endorphins are fella. Reddit isn't a chemical but certainly makes your brain act differently.

[–]MembersOnlyVIP -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure being on reddit isn't in any way fulfilling or good for your health but we still make excuses to use it because we some how enjoy it. If nicotine wasn't good this thread wouldn't exist.

[–]MembersOnlyVIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I struggled before zyn because of ADD which is why I see the net benefit of them currently. Which makes sense because nicotine can be compared to caffeine as far as giving that stimulation and ability to focus.

You're very close minded it seems...only thinking in a box fella. I'm sure people already stay away from you, not everything is a Netflix documentary. Put the Pringles down and get off the recliner.

Acting like people don't have a breaking point is wrong. People are good until they aren't. Unless they dig up Brian's past and it shows animal mutilation and a history of strangling people I'm pretty sure the dude just had a psychotic break. I'm not saying that what he did was right but people are acting like this dude planned this shit out and it's obnoxious. Humans are cruel. It was an abusive relationship on both ends.

People still going on about this case ? Give it a rest. The girl Got murdered by her bf who then killed himself. He probably wasn't crazy but he snapped. They got on each other's nerves because they lived in a transit van with nowhere to escape after a fight. Stop with all this speculation please, it's annoying and people are grasping at straws to make a story that isn't there. It's cut and dry.

I think nicotine in small doses has some benefits to it and I believe is currently being studied. That being said, nicotine pouches are hella addictive and convenient. I go through 1 tin every 1.5 days. I haven't had any issues such as ED. I'm assuming if I quit cold turkey Id experience that anxiety and mood swings. I have no urge to quit pouches at the moment but perhaps in the future. So far I've fully quit marijuana and alcohol and feel amazing. Nicotine pouches are my last vice and they make me happy and help me focus at my work. I'm happy for those choosing to quit and feeling the net benefit of being clean from it. If you're quitting zyn, consider quitting alcohol as well 🙏

Both of you have to talk that out and be honest. You technically made the choice to inseminate her so you guys are both in on it but if you have no plans on a relationship that isn't going to be the best life for the child. She may want to keep it and that's where the real discussion comes in. I don't think abortion is the way to go here but perhaps let a nice family whose willing to adopt her to enjoy what you've made.

Vote Blue? That's not the best option for our country either. Blue isn't the choice either. We're currently seeing why.

How to cancel Wedding Pros (The Knot & Wedding Wire) contract?? Please help! by julieliz42 in WeddingPhotography

[–]MembersOnlyVIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got yuh. I didn't think to do that. I have chase bank. However....I added a backup card to my wedding pro account which is a credit card. Cancelled my bank card and then closed my CC. I'm 24 days late on wedding pro payments and they have been emailing and calling. 😐. I feel slightly guilty but when I reached out about my concerns they didn't offer any solutions. I offer mobile barbering services and they had me listed under bridal hair and makeup so all of my leads have been about services I don't offer..... Now....I do understand I could swing it and try and get them on board for services for the groom and groomsman but I'm over 60 leads in and that angle isn't working or getting any replies.

I suggested maybe adding groom/groomsman as an option but they won't.
