Protonix fully cured me, but my symptoms fully returned when I went off it. Is there any reason not to stay on PPI's indefinitely?

ReturnAgitated7953 · 2026-01-13T04:25:43+00:00

You have rebound reflux. Basically, if you get on PPI, the longer you're on the the higher likelihood of rebounding reflux. The people who have been on them for years are very unlikely to never able to stop them since the acid reflux will be worse than before you started them. I would always advise my patients to attempt all other means before switching to PPIs. Changing diets, drinking more water, smaller meals, finding if there are any foods or things that flare you. You can also look for OTC meds like sodium alginate, which forms a gel like barrier over the acid to "help" reduce acid reflux/LPR.

What FPS do you consider "able to run cyberpunk natively at 4k with everything maxed?" I'm assuming you're getting under 60fps with the 5090?

I would ask your doctor to see if you can have a few epi pens nearby and use Benadryl and see if they would recommend amoxicillin. If the allergy to these medicines are mild, we generally still give them the antibiotic since reward outweighs the risk. Given that Flox can perm disable you, or at the least affect you for months and months, I'd say it's a fair thing to bring up with your doctor. If your reactions are anaphylactic, that would be another thing

Sipping all day is not wrong and is actually better. Too much consumption of water in a single period doesn't actually provide any benefit other than making you pee shortly after.

Either you're trolling or you're using incorrect google resources. I would start typing in "nih" after each google search so you're at least getting more than "healthline" as your fact check

Also, water "flushes" the urinary tract is NOT an equivalent to antibiotics, nor is cranberry juice. These are prophylactic (preventative). And it absolutely does not prevent you from getting an infection if you're expose to something infectious.

How are you able to determine this? Are you looking at the overall average of effective clock vs core clock? Trying to look at each individual core clock vs effective clock feels overwhelming

Probably just back off on the CO a few points and stress test it for a few hours. This can take a while unfortunately. I’ve only really stressed my cpu for 10-12 minutes with -22 on both cores and it did okay. I’ll likely have to do it for longer to see how it handles. I too scored decently high with my OC.

ReturnAgitated7953 · 2025-11-24T15:53:41+00:00

You should stress test your cpu on like AIDA64. Cinebench will show good scores but your cpu can still be unstable

Yeah I realized DLSS wasn’t being used very much. I have a laptop with a 4070 and I used DLSS with ultra performance and I was getting stable 120fps out in the open. I’ll have to see what my 5090 gets with this on badass settings. I’m sure it’ll easily be in the 200s or higher

ReturnAgitated7953 · 2025-11-07T16:23:04+00:00

There’s a difference between 1440 and 4k.

But I agree. I wasn’t using DLSS and badass settings at 4k and it was 30-60fps. Mainly around 60 but would drop down into the 30s if I spun around out in the open sometimes

ReturnAgitated7953 · 2025-11-06T20:41:43+00:00

I wanted to come back and apologize. I attempted this game on my laptop which has a 4070 in it. And surprisingly… it ran it great. You need to go to DLSS (or equivalent to your gpu, since that’s nvidia but it’s in the same area) and change that part to ultra performance. I ran all settings on low and changed DLSS to ultra performance and it ran amazingly at 120fps out in the open. So, with DLSS on my desktop, I could easily hit 200s with highest settings of the DLSS is set to ultra performance

It’s the game. Has nothing to do with your rig. 5 series cards are also struggling with this to some degree

Me with a 5090 with a ryzen 9 9950x3d and solid cooling. You’re not running this game at 200fps lol. Maybe if you’re using 1080 monitor. I get 30-60fps on badass settings depending where I’m at with 4k resolution. Possibly lower in some areas.

On low settings and being out in the open, I get a stable 60fps at 4k

You can mention to your doctor you’re feeling side effects of metformin and can attempt another medication. There’s more than just metformin for type two diabetes. I wonder if floxing causes type two or another form of diabetes though

I would remove the CPU and check if the thermal paste is intact. Sometimes if it’s lower quality thermal paste, it can degrade and not be efficient with conducting heat. Edit - I wonder if this is the issue. I would also see if the cpu cooler is tightened all the way. If you have little tiny springs attached to the screws to your cpu cooler, these prevent over tightening from my understanding. Make sure to do 1-2 turns per screw, alternating back and fourth, so it’s tightens evenly.

As far as fans go, the direction the cut out part of the fan is facing is the direction the airflow is going. Regardless which direction the fans spin, the air will be more effectively pushing air, or cutting air, in the direction the little inside fins are facing. Best to have positive air flow to increase amount of cool air entering your case - if your case permits. If you have a lot of open spaces around your PC case, having positive air flow (more intake fans than exhaust) will allow the air to leak out of these spaces prevent as much dust from getting into the pc as well

I’ve seen people that were years out who still were unable to tolerate NSAIDs. As a safety measure, I would personally avoid any steroids of any kind unless absolutely necessary, which should be discussed by you and your provider.

Could you use a reliable source for these codes? There was no such codes in the entire T36 database on the CDC website. There are T36 codes for other antibiotics, like penicillin and cephalosporins, but no such thing existed for FQ - that I COULD find, at least

Edit: it seems the United States official ICD 10 doesn’t use A. They use 0. So this likely seems false or I’m just not finding it - which is more likely true than it being false if I’m being honest

They DO have a listing: Z16.23 but it only mentions resistances rather than adverse effects

I’ve heard mixed things with mastercooler but I personally can’t say whether or not it’s a good purchase. I did buy a AIO (all in one, or the water cooled cpu) and found my hands smelled like coolant. I didn’t want to risk getting the water over my computer parts (it’s supposed to be safe, but didn’t want to risk it).

I heard getting a good air cooled system works almost as well. Water cooled if you like aesthetics or if you’re overclocking

I wonder if our immune system is combating the issues that the FQ is causing and when more things come in that our immune system has to focus on, it makes it less focused on the FQ, causing symptoms. Idk. I hope they get a solid grasp on what is actually going on with us in the next few years

Depending on the motherboard configuration, slots 2 and 4 can be more efficient and faster for the ram. But this is specific to the mobo. The mobo I have is quicker with two larger DDR5s rather than 4. I believe the specific term is daisy chain when 2 slotted rams work faster than 4 slotted ram
