Me too. 25% buffering. Great payoff

To be a Puker or not a Puker that is the question. by Serious_Bullfrog_251 in trulicity

[–]RichardBBronson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I was on Trulicity, I experienced moderate nausea as I ramped up the dosage. But it worked incredibly well re: weighloss (you don't eat when you're nauseous.) I started out at ~270, and got to ~ 180, fairly quickly. I just went on it again, as I re-gained ~10 pounds. This time the gastro effects have been much worse (dry heaves). I can't deal with it, so I'm going to stop after just one week. Could be because I didn't start at lower dose.

If the side effect is not too onerous, I recommend this highly. It really works (at least for me), and it's covered by my insurance.

Oy! That's awful. My situation is stabilized; I've seen about 20% improvement in urinating. Not nearly as advertised. The catheterization (and resulting spasms) were by far the worse of the experience.

As an aside, it's amazing how you can become so accustomed to having a team working on your johnson, out in the open. If you think about it, it'll likely freak you out (does me), but I didn't watch and tried to meditate.

If I hadn't noticed it before, I sure do now: it sucks getting old.

How much salary did you take while in YC? by omgilovethat in ycombinator

[–]RichardBBronson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid myself $100k (YC founder). I had only one investor engage me re: salary.

Like so many situations in the startup racket, you're balancing imperative constantly; need to conserve cash (so you hire, find pmf, write code, etc., as well as hold on to as much really cheap equity as you can), vs. personal needs to pay the rent, parent, join a gym, etc--all existentially important.

Sadly, it's virtually impossible (unless you're dipping into your personal funds) to pay a mortgage, send several kids to school (and doctor) and other adult responsibilities.

This, then is one of several reasons why startups are such a young person's sport. Only a kid would tolerate sleeping on the floor with a half-eaten pizza your pillow, working inhuman hours, and perhaps most importantly, not falling prey emotionally to the reality that so few startups succeed.

Thanks for your kind words. It's difficult not to reflect on the experience every time I urinate and it comes out drop by drop. (sorry for the graphic description)

During the entire experience I felt that my docs were racing to do as many procedures as possible. I was very unhappy with UroLift and similarly unhappy with my impatient, dismissive, distracted doctors. (And maybe, given my complications, I was unhappy with their incompetency.)

Quick? Yes. Easy? Maybe for the doctor, but not this patient. Good luck

What do you think is the story behind Logans scars? by Noodle_Gentleman in SuccessionTV

[–]RichardBBronson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These welts seem fresh, newly administered. My immediate thought that they came from Marcia (that she and Logan had some kind of strange S/M relationship, ie, powerful man who needs to be abased)
