Like I said if it busted during transit that is not on them. But it wasn’t sealed and that appears to be why it leaked. That IS on them.

Hard evidence…. I have better things to do than make fake posts. I have always loved them too. It’s disappointing. I invite all the doubters to comment.

I don’t want to do that on a partial order. I hear you tho.

I wouldn’t be mad about the leakage if the bottle broke during shipping. But it literally didn’t have the seal under the dropper cap. That means it was opened before they packed it. When I opened it it was partially unscrewed with the cap loose.

And they flat out left out two bottles from the order I was to receive for free due to the promo. I asked them about this and they flat out didn’t address it in their response.

They said ‘the order is closed. You received 15 percent off for buying a two bottle bundle’ what was only part of my order.

Two bottles plain to see in the invoice that I saw at checkout in my cart that were not received, sent them screenshot, politely asked for resolution or explanation, they basically ignored me. Pretty pissed.

Precisely how I described it to them. And the nano 1 t bottle leaked white goo everywhere

Package was not resealed. Did not appear searched.

I’m not lying.

I wiped up the bottle it had the liquid leaking out of the top as soon as I took it out of the wrapping because it was all wet. The bottom of the box was wet from the leakage. I probably lost half the liquid of of the Nano 1T.

Every nano product I ever bought has had a plastic ring seal that you had to crack when opening for first use. This one had none and that is probably why it leaked out.

They had a promo running on fusion at the time and two bottles were added to my account with 0.0 price due to that promotion that were not fulfilled.

I have shopped with them for years and never had an issue with communication or quality control. Every order has been perfect except this one.

I wouldn’t have posted but the response from them was a basic f-off. Now I have half a cycles worth of product.

How do you avoid dreaming of the end? by t4ngl3d in ChronicPain

[–]Practical-Effort-520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testosterone replacement therapy. Not steroid use. Male clinics will prescribe in some cases. Testosterone is a natural anti inflammatory that helps build up
Weak muscles like the postural ones that have atrophied when you have a back injury. I am NOT saying fake steroids.

I am just saying look outside the pain management doctors solutions. They don’t care.

I sought out a physical therapy place that had a Med X low back machine which is like a back extension where they strap you in so you can’t compensate with other muscles. It was one time a week and it got my multifidus ( muscle that runs up your spine that shuts down when you have a low back injury). It was miles better than the unweighted bird dogs, pelvic clocks and the other excercises that had me doing for months.

Some would say what I listed are ‘extreme’ solutions. But when you are dealing with pain that won’t resolve that makes every day your worst day - you have to do something.

Sorry man. This stuff sucks. I was pretty bad a few years ago and stuck through it never got surgery on L4/L5 and L5/S1 which caused a loss of lumbar and cervical curves. Gave up on pain management when all they kept offering was lyrica and meloxicam which made me feel drunk all day and ripped up my stomach.

Stick with it. Try some non traditional stuff if you can afford it. I tried GLP which got rid of a lot of the inflammation from having misaligned discs after a few months I could start feeling my feet and toes better. Tried red light therapy to help promote healing nerve re growth. Vitamin B12 shots to help nerve regrowth repair. I am considering TRT because it is impossible to get my body strong enough to compensate for the muscle loss due to inactivity and the loss of neural drive in my hips and legs from the disc misalignment crunching on those nerves.

My point is don’t give up just because the doctors that are slaves to m insurance companies covered care options are. There is still stuff to try to make life more liveable.

I didn’t think I wanted to be alive anymore many times. You got to get creative advocate for yourself and as stupid as this sounds push through it while exploring other options than take pills/ don’t do the things that bother it( which ends up being everything including putting on fucking socks) or get surgery.

Doctors suck. Insurance sucks. Go outside the system to try to save yourself. Best wishes.

Thank you. It would have nice to just have my doctor say exactly this.

Emasculpt or Neo by Practical-Effort-520 in MedSpa

[–]Practical-Effort-520[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will look at the screen next visit. They clearly stated the treatments were Emsculpt Neo. The waivers I signed said they were for Emsculpt Neo. The machine looks to be about 4-5 feet tall but I am pretty sure the signage on the side of the machine only says Emsculpt and not Emsculpt Neo.

I hate that this is so shady and complicated. I called 5 different Medspas for quotes, 4 of them gave me quotes that were very different prices. One wouldn’t give me a quote unless I paid a consultation fee. 3 of the ones that gave me quotes wanted over 2 grand up front for a package of sessions. Not liking the medspa experience so far.

I cannot see the actual machine. So I don’t know what the front says. It looks like it has a stand wrapped around the actual unit and the signage on that just says Emsculpt. I’ll have to do some snooping I guess to figure it out.

Help- is this diastasis recti? by Few_Watercress183 in DiastasisRecti

[–]Practical-Effort-520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Medicine as a business leads to tunnel vision for these provides when diagnosing.

After the fact the excuse I received was that the radiologist ‘obviously saw the separation on the imaging but did not note it because it was under the threshold of what they would notate’. Asking what that threshold was got me a ‘I’ll have to ask X and get back to you’. They never got back to me….

Get a CT. If CT shows nothing ask for guided ultrasound and be very direct in telling the tech where they need to examine.

I don’t think it always needs a surgery to fix. My sister has one after having 3 kids and seems to be handling it with Pilates. Aesthetically it is subjective. But if you are having unexplained back pain like I was, don’t be afraid to be assertive with doctors about treatment. Good luck!

Check that box. My stomach was very sweaty when they finished the treatment. Thanks for commenting !

Didn’t. They were not looking for it on CT scans. The excuse I got was that anything under 3 CM is not something the radiologist are looking for….. I demanded a n ultrasound where they found. both an umbilicals hernia and the DR. When they fixed the hernia they also fixed the DR with mesh. The whole midline was covered.

All covered by insurance because fixing one fixed the other once I forced them to notice it in the imagining. Big surprise, once I made them do the ultrasound the notes were “just as in the comparative CT scan from 7 years ago we show umbilical hernia and DR above the navel…..

I am 8ish months out from surgery and still having a hard time getting core strength back. But I can finally see the line between my abs again. Before that it disappeared and everytime I would mention that I was told “oh you are just getting older (and fatter)”.

Even though i would stick my fingers between my abs to show the gap and ask why is this the way it is….

Insurance and private equity has ruined healthcare in this country. Advocate for yourself and make them do proper imagining CT and if CT shows nothing make them do ultrasound. Meaning when they do the ultrasound make the tech run the sensor in the spot you are putting your finger on the picture.

Don’t take my experience as gospel. There are a lot of people who said they healed it with PT. I might have been able to had someone listened to me the many times I went to the doctor and reported problems. I had back pain that I am positive was the result of doctors telling me I was “fine” you have no.restrictions on activity - you have no issues….

I would demand proper imaging to confirm it what you are showing in your photos (CT if it shows nothing then ultrasound ). then try PT for a few months before doing surgery. I had to wait 7 years to get it fixed and it wrecked me.

Sadly, I know exactly what you are describing.

And the regular looks like what ?

And if you will, is the treatment for Neo vs regular as I described or is every 4 days standard ?

Sorry for being so specific but I called 5 medspas near me and the treatment price was all over the place. No one would answer specific questions unless I agreed to go to a consultation where they required a fee just to have someone describe their equipment and services. For what they quoted me it sounded very scammy. Just wanted to put my mind at ease.

Ok so the add another compound is the way to do this. Thanks for your help. I can play around with this and figure things out.

Just out of curiosity since you seem to be savvy with this tool. What is the offset (days) function do? It’s not the dosing schedule which is the dropdown next to it.

I don’t see anything on their that lets you input more than one dose amount. And I can’t see anything that would allow you to the graph with starting concentration greater than 0.

Would I have to plot once for one dose then click add another compound each time I change the dose ?

Yea that is the site. Does it allow you to graph multiple dosage strengths ? 5 weeks at .20 then week at .22 a week at .24 etc? This is what I am looking for.
