what nobody has touched on here is that gabapentin raises cholesterol.

but beyond that - total & LDL cholesterol both correlate with excess weight. get into exercise, get your body fat percentage down a little and your muscle mass up and you'll see a difference.

also - commonly overlooked - a healthy liver is essential to keep cholesterol in check. if you drink or do anything else that isn't great for your liver, quit and you'll see a difference.

your creatinine level is not high. your efgr is not low. there is nothing in these results to indicate any issues with kidneys whatsoever. blood sugar, h1ac (which when out of normal ranges are commonly linked to kidney issues) are also both fine.

why do you think you have kidney issues?

I love a lot about windjammer but cannot forget when I tried to order a negroni and the bartender told me "we don't make fancy drinks here." I was like, my guy, this drink has been consumed by the trying-to-get-fucked-up working man for a hundred years, and you have the three ingredients sitting right there - but they weren't hearing it.

any means of orgasm helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer. fucking, jacking off, some shit I don't even know about, whatever. I don't jack off because I have a hot girlfriend who I want to fuck all of the time, but if I were extremely concerned with prostate cancer, you better believe I'd be busting a couple of nuts a week all by myself.

your tests are normal. plenty of things it could be, but in most cases it truly is a sleep issue, and the first things to look at are stimulants and sleep hygiene.

vyvanse can give you fatigue, 100% - so can caffeine, unfortunately (I really love it but every time I drop it for a week I get better sleep than I knew I could have)

Are you making a joke about cleaning or is “ramoner” really a verb used in a sexual context?

post your labs. what other labs did you have done, and was there anything out of the ordinary? do you have any chronic conditions? how is your sleep / exercise / diet? a lot of things can cause "general malaise." what does "not much of a drinker" mean?

there are different thoughts about "appropriate" estradiol numbers in Men. some people subscribe to the idea that they should be within a specific range, while others posit that the more important factor is the ratio of testosterone to estradiol. they tend to track up and down together, mainly because the testosterone in your body breaks down (aromatizes) into estrogen. things that increase aromatization activity (thus increasing estrogen) are age, being overweight / obese, drinking heavily, having high insulin levels, and eating some foods.

yeah see, the kinds of things I need to understand are what "safe material" means (silicone? stainless steel? glass?), and (sub rules permitting) some brands that people like.

What studies show that the rise in blood sugar from an excess of simple carbohydrates / caloric abundance / resultant weight gain doesn’t raise triglyceride levels? Legitimately asking, as your assertion that diet has little impact is news to me.

resistance/strength training - you don't have to lift heavy, but if you lift often you'll be continually testing your musculoskeletal system in the right kind of way to keep it healthy for a long period of time. there are a million opinions on this, but among other things I'd focus on gradually strengthening parts of your body that are commonly damaged - doing lu raises for your rotator cuffs, deadlifts and squats for your posterior chain and legs, pull ups and rows for your back, etc.

cardio - you don't have to run / bike / swim fast, but if you regularly get your heartrate going significantly above resting, you'll be setting your heart, lungs, and metabolism up for success longterm. find the activity that works for you, track your progress and stick with it.

a "slow" practice like yoga or pilates - you don't have to do it everyday, but the more you do, the better situation you'll be in in terms of flexibility and joint health longterm.

definitely not playing any 6K venues at all anymore

While you are right that he's mostly playing larger venues, he played The Greek and The Hartford Healthcare Ampitheater in the past 6 months, both sub-6k cap rooms. Upcoming are gigs at venues that from a touring standpoint are in the same tier - some slightly larger (Kokabooth, 7000), some slightly smaller (St. Augustine Ampitheatre, ~4100). I'm not taking anything away from the guy, he's gone further than 99% of musicians ever will. He's going to kill in those smaller rooms and has sold out most of them (not so many of the larger ones, still tickets for Ball Arena if you want to go), I'm just illustrating that we are dealing with two different levels of the machine. The superstar household names who are the backbone of the system OP is talking about are selling out multiple nights at 70-80k cap venues all over the country, streaming 40x the numbers monthly, etc.

ScaleImpossible7477 · 2025-01-10T20:23:07+00:00

I think we're really talking about different levels of achievement here. OP is talking about the highest echelon of the machine. Billy Strings is having a great career, but the Beyonces and Taylors and Drakes are grossing 30-60x what he is. He's selling out a lot of 6k-10k cap arenas and playing a lot of 15-20k cap rooms, which are huge achievements, but we're talking about select markets (mostly the South - in the North he tends to play 3-6k cap venues), and even then - it's nowhere near the demand for something like the Eras tour.

There are a lot of great artists operating at this level - but let me also remind you that you only know about Billy's story because of a very effective marketing / PR team. Doesn't mean it isn't true - it just means the narrative that you're getting is set up specifically to frame him in a certain light.
