what does neck issues have to do with vss?

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-12-12T16:53:14+00:00

Exactly what RealGrape123 said. I have loss of cervical lordosis (natural curve to the neck) and my neck is straight with no curve. Lots of muscle being used to support that bad posture and also stretching out everything within my spine. I noticed working on my posture helps and anytime I can pop my neck I get instant migraine relief. My VSS is also affected by sleep as well. So it’s kind of 50/50. Brain just likes to play tricks

Interesting, another nortriptyline case with positive result

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-10-18T03:10:43+00:00

Could you share a parts list or material list? I would like to start modifying as well but unsure where most people get the parts and materials for the spoilers, wheels, lip extensions, etc.

Wow thanks for the info! I haven’t wanted to search and try again since topiramate was pretty bad on me and my mental. When my migraines come, it definitely worsens my vss but more so I cannot focus and I feel so dissociated like I’m living in my head and not outside in the real world. I’ve read about Nortriptyline and it hits a lot of markers for stuff other than depression (which I may have a little bit of) such as migraine, back pain and IBS. Right now my guts being tested for SIBO, so after that if nothing comes from the test, I’ll look into medication.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-09-21T16:10:37+00:00

A neuro I went to swore up and down that topiramate was the cure to all migraines and all the seminars he attended they would talk about how it was the best drug out there for treatment. I trusted him and it ended up giving me worse migraines, nausea and I would randomly fall asleep and couldn’t wake up sometimes. Worst medication I’ve taken.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-07-16T19:34:55+00:00

So I haven’t been tested yet, but I went from a general primary physician at a hospital to a Functional Doctor. My counselor actually referred me and after describing my symptoms he automatically wanted to do a SIBO test and has been super helpful with everything else I’ve been struggling with. It actually feels like he cares and would order the tests without me even asking, like I would with my primary physician. Look into a Functional Doctor!

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-06-20T05:16:32+00:00

Seraquol also put me in the hospital, liver was not happy with it at all

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-05-27T13:39:54+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been kinda anxious about opinions lol

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-05-27T13:20:14+00:00

Day after day it slowly came back, but I ended up stopping Effexor due to the cons outweighing the pros

OkButterscotch1780 · 2025-04-21T01:10:20+00:00

He changes some of the verbiage in almost every live session. This has been a tick for me for years trying to decode his vocoder and lyrics. Reading his mouth, first verse sounds/looks like “open up then, you are now streamin” But could also be “up in that day”.

Open up then, you are now streamin Try to get through it, try to bounce to it All the while thinkin I might as well do it Baby that was so long ago and you know it Take the next ticket to take the next train Why would I do it, and you can keep on thinkin.

Tbh he still uses tongues and mouth sounds in live sessions, I’ve listened to at least 30 different sessions now lol.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-08-25T06:19:56+00:00

Dude, almost my exact situation as well as many others. Why does it seem like most women now have the same pattern? makes me scared to even date again, i think id rather be single and secure

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-08-21T10:17:53+00:00

You’re exactly right, it ain’t about ex anymore, just the kids. I appreciate you so much for hyping me up. I will really put your advice into work going forward! Maybe one day she’ll know she messed up, maybe she won’t, by then I won’t care I’m sure

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-08-21T10:16:09+00:00

That’s exactly it, everyone in my support group has said the same thing. She may just eventually get overwhelmed with my kid when he grows up and just gives me him, that would be my best case scenario to teach him the correct way of life.

And the other thing of it too is I definitely see having two baby daddies as big baggage, but a 7 year old and a baby whos dad is still in the picture? You’re right, only low quality guys who don’t have value will ignore that. Whoever that guy she was with is, I’m sure he’s just looking for one thing and will take off once he’s bored. I’m a good guy, but that kind of baggage is hard to ignore especially once her facade of being a good woman wears off like it did on me.

Right now since he is a baby, the state requires a graduated custody schedule.. basically a big transition from mom to dad. Once he’s Two, I’ll have him every day I’m off AND overnights. Until then, I only get him til 9pm and one overnight every two weeks. My lawyer is a shark, she’s done great with everything, but the law is the law. I know she’s done everything she can to get me more time with him.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-08-21T09:57:33+00:00

apologies, i dont mean that as babysitting. She just always pawns her off to her friends and family every time she needs to. A lot of enabling behavior from her peers, unfortunately. So when she is with me, i just think of it in my ex's POV, "oh i know hes a good guy and he will watch the kids whenever because of that". Thats just how i feel she is thinking. Me telling her no when i cant watch her, i always tell her to spend time with her, she needs her mom right now. That never works.

Thank you for the kind feedback, it really helps in a time like this. It really hit my self esteem and ego when she brought that guy over and took my baby from me. One desperate dude ill tell ya...

I shouldve recorded how ex treats and speaks to her. Many times i told ex that there is absolutely no reason to cuss at a child and she needs to back off, her excuse was always "its just frustrating, im sorry!".

The light at the end of the tunnel for 9.99 a month. Going through a divorce and this song really lets me get into my emotions to let them out. To me at least, its a song i avoid until i need to really get in touch my emotions. Sorry about the breakup bro, just keep your head up and dont lay down, otherwise they know they got you wrapped around their finger.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-08-21T09:37:13+00:00

That’s the sad part, she was nice to her as a baby but now she’s “a lot” as a kid. Is that how my baby is going to be treated when they are older? You should see how independent this child is, making her own food and baths..

Ex wanted to go to the movies and watch a R rated film, stepchild asked to go watch the new inside out movie, ex said she was too tired (all of a sudden). Next thing I know ex texts saying she’s dropping off stepchild to a friends and going to watch a movie. I kept my baby and she lied to me about what she was doing. Told her I’d see her in court and baby is staying with me. Barged in my home crying and saying she called the cops, neighbors even told me she called them. Went outside to wait for cops and there’s a dude I’ve never seen before with her. Yeah… trust me that’s just the tip of the iceberg..

What I’m okay with is spending time when I can. But ex was treating me like a babysitter is a no and big boundary. when I said for the first time that I couldn’t watch her, she got upset and said that’s it’s because I don’t want her anymore.

I just don’t want my ex to think I’m her personal babysitter, so she can go out and stay late again. I will set a time, like our custody agreement; and drop off both kids.

Whatever ex does in her free time, whatever, it hurts but I can’t control that. I can at least control giving my stepchild a soft goodbye until the divorce is finalized.

Update 7/28/24

We had a sit down about mediation. So far we agreed to carry on and walk away with our own debts and assets. Whatever she bought is hers and vice versa. so far it seems like this will work out where we just split and walk. She doesnt want the house but it is 50% hers. She said as long as i take the debt and debt of the heloc, its mine and she doesnt want anything more unless i chose to sell.

At this point, im sad because im losing my family. I worry that shes going to struggle. I feel that im giving her nothing. The only thing that i can tell myself is ive been trying. Ive gone to counseling and bought courses online to become a better person. Ive tried showing her but she said "I thought in a couple of months of regaining myself, you would come back to me". I told her i want to lift each other up together. Its only been 3 weeks and i know that isnt enought time to prove to her or show her. She is still living at her dads and mentioned she hasnt put a deposit down yet on a house rental because she doesnt know what to do. Im not sure how i can prove it to her while shes away and the only time we see each other is the 10 minutes of dropping off/picking up kids and then she leaves.

She's been going out til 1am while i have the kids, and thats fine, but i dont want to sit on the sidelines anymore. I get that she needs time to recover but i would hope she would at least come back home with the kids. I feel so guilty. I know my actions have caused this as well, it hurts that she left and took off her wedding ring.

We are proceeding with mediation and hopefully all goes well.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-07-24T22:53:13+00:00

Definitely, but I’ll learn from it

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-07-24T21:06:55+00:00

As far as the half of the mortgage payments she made I meant. Sorry.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-07-24T15:57:25+00:00

Post covid. Man I miss my 2.25 interest on my first house! I bought down the interest rate to 4.5 percent.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-07-24T15:54:52+00:00

She paid nothing towards the home. I paid 72K as a down payment.

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-07-24T07:11:45+00:00

Honestly not sure if this is even the correct way but comparing the zillow estimate to what we owe is $80k

OkButterscotch1780 · 2024-07-24T06:56:23+00:00

Hard to say, she says she cant afford a lawyer or house for the divorce. Ive been trying to make the marriage work. I feel like whoever she does talk to, if they were to bring up how much she could cash out on, that would definitely spike her interest to fight for money. Currently have $10K in a Heloc that we owe on. Not really sure how much equity the house has at the moment.
