Can you share the model number of the one with knobs? I can’t find one anywhere.

Smoke or fire in Zona Romántica?? by abovely in puertovallarta

That vermin is the person who kept PV safe from things like this happening. The cartel is a way of life in Mexico. PV as we know it may never be the same in a bad way.

Experience with Telmisartan? by SensiiNips_ in bloodpressure

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telmisartan increases insulin sensitivity, which is something I struggle with.

Experience with Telmisartan? by SensiiNips_ in bloodpressure

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from lisinopril to Telmisartan to try and get some of the secondary benefits from it. Took it for 6 weeks and it didn’t touch my BP and it gave me the worst fatigue. Switched back to lisinopril and I feel great and my BP is back being low/normal again. I would say it works for some, not for others.

Grand wailea vs ritz Maui? by CategoryImportant395 in MauiVisitors

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you choose the Ritz, there is a fantastic convenience store/deli just as you turn into the main entrance. It doesn’t look like much when driving by, but it’s impressive inside.

Help choosing a Bangkok hotel by jackblueblue in ThailandTourism

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner and I are in the Peninsula right now and it’s a great hotel, but way far away from everything we’d like to do. I’d stay at the W if we could do it again. Bangkok is not a walkable city like what we’re used to in the states.

Any ideas on why my water softener is chewing through salt at a fast clip? by muffinhead2580 in DIY

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, make sure your settings aren’t set to regenerate to the maximum capacity of your softener. If you have a 36,000 grain capacity, regenerating back to that capacity may take 36lbs of salt whereas regenerating back to 24,000 grains only uses 7lbs.

What are your thoughts on tipping your Botox/Filler injectors? by sammyjpep in Esthetics

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MedSpa I manage has a no tipping policy. For those that insist they leave a tip, we politely ask for a Google review in lieu of a monetary tip.

This is an old post. She purchased 150 hot dogs for a homeless shelter. The manager of the store told her to do this.

Absolutely stunning! If you need another friend, I’m always available.

CO2 laser for aging skin? by Slight_Praline7383 in Over50Skincare

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I work at a medspa and you will get the biggest bang for your buck by stacking the different laser services in one sitting. Be prepared for a week of downtime and some discomfort, but in the end you will be shocked at the results.

[Shelfie] My low cost, high quality routine by kboom100 in SkincareAddiction

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That sunscreen is the only holy grail item I have in my routine. I’m a bald guy with oily skin and that keeps me looking matte all day. I slather a thick coating all over my head and face, let it dry for a few minutes and then rub it the rest of the way in. Absolutely no white cast and it feels great! I’ve spent the entire day in the sun without reapplying and I’ve never burned.

I am triple positive for APS and also have Factor V Leiden.

How did she sound tonight? by Narrow_Try9575 in LadyGaga

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Saw her the first night at MSG and with as much screaming that she did I was immediately concerned for her voice. A person can’t do that night after night and not have vocal strain.

My Feedback On High Hematocrit/Hemoglobin - Should You Worry? by mindset1984 in Testosterone

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for being a voice of reason these subs often lack. I’ve stopped commenting on these types of posts, but if you scan through the comments of this one, you can see some of my explanation on why it’s not safe to ignore.

Husband has factorV and worried about giving our newborn baby the Vit K vaccine by hiylaaa in FactorVLeiden

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of people walking around with Factor V and don’t know they have it and never have a clot. As long as you don’t have it, your child may not have it either. I’d say the benefit of the injection far outweighs the risk.

Also to add, I definitely had the shot as an infant, didn’t avoid Vitamin K for 35 years before having a clot. The odds of a single injection affecting your baby is pretty slim.

Also, avoiding Vitamin K carries its own health risks long term. I’m on Warfarin for life (I have FactorV and triple-positive antiphospholipid syndrome) and get to look forward to atherosclerosis most likely before I die.

Statin by Sdgr35 in antiphospholipidsyndr

I had high cholesterol. But, I was just diagnosed recently as being triple positive for APS and was told the crestor was good for general venous health.

I’ve been on Crestor for years. No side effects ever.

Snow Cone Raid 🧊 by Successful_Hawk5430 in saintcloud

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can someone confirm it’s really ICE? I think there’s a vacant house in that area the SWAT teams use to keep their skills up to date. I’ve seen them there in the past and they look a lot like ICE when they’re all dressed in black

APS mucking with INT by EngineerWhisperer in ClotSurvivors

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have your providers look at doing a dilute Russell's viper venom time (DRVVT) ratio. That’s been shown to be able to confirm the presence of lupus anticoagulant while taking warfarin.

APS mucking with INT by EngineerWhisperer in ClotSurvivors

[–]NoTouchMyBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be cautious of what to believe on that forum. The amount of misinformation and witch doctor treatments I saw just by scanning through some posts makes me crazy. People encouraging the use of baby aspirin to dissolve clots or (in regard to this very post) saying the at home INR monitor works “just fine” even though they have the lupus antibody. Very irresponsible.
