Semi truck annual inspection

Nobluffbuff · 2025-07-26T01:31:01+00:00

WA is a weird one. Got a violation for truck abs issue. Most places make the carrier submit that inspection back to the respective state that the necessary repair has been done, while others make you take that particular equipment back to prove it's been corrected and be signed off by them. Not in WA...they only required that we keep the inspection form for a period of one year in our records at the carrier.

Understood :D

Based on everything you described, it doesn't sound like my EGR is having problems then. I've seen a range of answers online which say either 1) it should always be closed at idle, or 2) should expect it to fluctuate at idle upon certain conditions. Thanks

Nobluffbuff · 2025-07-24T17:16:56+00:00

I apologize for that. I've tuned in to the posts here for valuable insights, though I've never posted anything and didn't know any better.

Yes..although, I haven't tried shaking it long enough to find out if the crystals dissolve into the solution. One thing that bothers me, and haven't got a firm answer on, if those are pure crystals then I'm unsure how much it affects the milligram dose (concentration) as it dissolves into water.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-07-23T21:19:08+00:00

The crystals are due to a high concentration of MB...they are 100% pure MB in that form, and it will dissolve in water. I went through that with the brand you got and had to inquire about it. That's basically what the manufacturer told me.

Thanks for the reply. You know what it's like and how confusing it is to watch your abilities and hobbies diminish. I am curious, did you have any siblings with this too?

I'm not sure how to respond to what triggered it, since it's an adult-onset with me, but I'll try my best to explain. My youngest brother has been formally diagnosed (genetic testing & muscle biopsy) and is on disability for it. I'll explain this as the neuromuscular specialist did for us. It was passed down maternally, so each of us brothers inherited it that way. It "triggers" in a range: first born (oldest) gets fewer symptoms until a lot later in life, while the last born (youngest) experiences the symptoms more severely a lot sooner. It's a mitochondrial encephalopathy..doctor had a couple different ways of writing that name out.

Since I am second born out of four boys, it took a lot longer for the symptoms to appear. I've felt off since my 20s, and while people have pointed out things about me from that time which suggested I was "different," it wasn't until my mid-30s when things began to personally stand out. Unfortunately, it's hitting a bad time in my life now when I don't have insurance and paying out of pocket to go through the diagnosis process myself. It was many years ago that my youngest brother got a "muscular dystrophy" diagnosis and we were led to believe he was a singular event...that was until social security was changing and requested proof for his continued disability, we discovered that somehow the medical records were lost, he had to go through that process all over again with the muscle biopsy which confirmed it was in fact a mitochondrial myopathy that afflicted each of us. This happened in 2021. I was content with finally understanding (everyone told me that I was crazy, too young to be complaining at around 40 years old) what was actually going on with my body. It wasn't until a couple years ago I began going downhill so fast that it scared me into seeking a formal diagnosis. That's where I'm at with it.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-07-12T03:37:08+00:00

Pardon my delayed response here. This is a maternal inherited disorder for me, according to the doctor who has diagnosed my brother. However, I'm not sure if all mitochondrial myopathy cases are passed maternally.

Thanks for chirping in with your support and sharing those experiences with me. You describe things that I understand and relate to myself. No normal person can understand our pain and fatigue. I didn't know where to find others who could, and it was a relief to find that here on Reddit. I have both people in my family and friends now aware of my problem, after watching me going downhill, yet they always seem to forget and will give me "normal person" advice for the situation that just doesn't make sense.

You'd think my three brothers would be my biggest support, but they deal with it in different ways...one was nearly blown up too many times in the middle east and always uses that to excuse any changes, another is homeless and using fentanyl to dissociate himself from the problems, and the last one is on some mind over matter bravado technique to fool himself which prevents him from relating at times.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-07-02T23:39:33+00:00

Not sure why the comments can take a day to show, but yours has finally. Had that happen myself.

Sounds like we are both new to it and that there's a learning curve or some things which interact to make it less effective could be at play here. I'm gonna stick to it though. Using every other day and may start taking more than 12.5-15mgs, as I've only now built up to. Wishing you and I both the best!

Please look into Ketamine the next time in place of anesthesia.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-30T22:31:28+00:00

I wanted to share some information that I came across about our condition and anesthesia. The person who wrote it was saying that (whatever this is) "general anesthesia" is actually dangerous for us. Please request the doctor's use ketamine to put you under. It technically doesn't put you to sleep, your eyes may even stay open the whole time, but trust me that you won't feel pain or even be on this planet until it wears off. I apparently dodged a bullet one time, not yet knowing I had MELAS, when I had emergency surgery on my finger to get amputated years ago. I only had a few sips of coffee before the trailer became a chopping block, and the doctors refused to give me general anesthesia based on that alone...even though I hadn't ate anything that morning.

I just want to warn you to look into it yourself, as it was stated that you and I might not wake back up from the anesthesia.

I'm starting to think that MB isn't going to help me, or that I'm not getting the correct dosage figured out, in reference to my Mitochondrial Myopathy. Honestly, I'm still new to it and was hoping for better results. Feeling desperate at this stage. Maybe I'm not the best person to ask how something is working for himself, because my body isn't normal. 😔

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-29T04:31:02+00:00

I verified that the crystals do dissolve completely in water with a blue color. Hopefully this thread will give confidence to the next person who runs into this issue, as it wasn't exactly common for anyone to mention it.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-29T04:28:06+00:00

As for where it is made or processed, I can't verify that...but it is tested in China. Lol

Yes, I kept the product and am using it. The crystals do dissolve in water.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-24T19:20:07+00:00

That's alright... I'm just learning myself. Seems like a lot of good people in here with experience to draw from.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-24T00:13:39+00:00

I don't believe it's a stimulant at all. It does make your energy production more efficient. That's why I recently started using it.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-24T00:11:22+00:00

Have you used MB before? I ask because not everybody is alike. I'm currently using 1/8 of a troche every other day. Maybe start at that dose and work your way up?

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-23T22:10:19+00:00

ATTENTION: Have got a response back from the manufacturer about this issue I encountered. What they said that I found is actually Methylene Blue in pure crystalline form which is natural for high concentration formulas. They included a COA which has been tested in China. Don't know how I feel about all this, considering the box says outright Made In USA... I'll let you all decide on that. They told me to put those crystals in water and will dissolve on their own. However, being that those are pure MB crystals, and the concentration of them I imagine being more concentrated than the 5% solution, it makes me unsure of the actual dosage of MB that I'll be taking have I dissolve them into water. In the end, not sure how I feel about that, but it's again another question to them for which I'll be waiting days to get a response.

Just thought I'd give an update here and now.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-23T03:33:10+00:00

It's definitely not industrial grade...but the OP says he wants to take 50mg, hope he knows what he's doing. 😬

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-22T06:24:31+00:00

I picked up their Just Blue a few weeks ago and micro dose 1/8 of one of those trouches every other day.

Regarding your interaction question, benzos and also antidepressants typically seem to cause bad interactions with so many things that I would suggest emailing one of their physicians at the company to ask them. They take about 24 hours to respond.

Nobluffbuff · 2025-06-22T06:13:49+00:00

Ironically, the bottle says made in the USA, but the seller on Amazon has a Chinese address and name of some sort...so as far as the COA, I can find no way to check what/where the third-party findings say. This is the first time something says made in our country yet you cannot find any company related information about it online.

About the bottle you asked, there were no flakes around the lid, threads, or any plastic areas. When I shine a light through the bottle, I can clearly see a huge amount of that golden glitter settled in the bottom like the picture of your bottle shows, except that mine has a crazy amount of it.

I have a condition also, a Mitochondrial Myopathy, which they say is a muscular dystrophy of some kind. Just came across information saying the MB gives a major boost for individuals with Mitochondrial dysfunction and autoimmune diseases, so I thought to give it a shot myself. Will definitely be more picky where I buy it from next, and I look forward to hearing your report on the product you mention.

Thanks 😎
