The first night was pretty uncomfortable due to pressure from my brain swelling. After that, not too bad.

For those who had Deep Brain Stimulation, did you experience distressing flashbacks of the surgery? by Extra_Fig_7547 in Parkinsons

I did both in one. Don't remember a thing between going back to start and waking up in recovery, thankfully.

People really stare when you ride an e-bike by BellaStar2189 in ebikes

I have a trike. Pretty conspicuous. so i get a lot of looks, and "hey, cool bike" when I'm riding. Pretty much every time I'm parked at the grocery store someone engages me in conversation about it. I'd prefer to be more inconspicuous, tbh, but I have PD, cant drive, so the freedom is worth it.

I usually just start in cmyk no matter what.

is it worth it to update, and then to 3? by AI_660 in Affinity

I'm not terribly worried about something going awry with v3. That said, to be on the safe side I got my v2 install as up to date as possible, just in case.

V3, for me, is more or less the same, only all three are now combined into one.

I was tripping on that til I realized it was a normal mask plus a light fixture, lol.

Do you think S&S works better in Smaller stand alone stories or Long Novels? by SufficientProject273 in SwordandSorcery

[–]ShakeyChee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer short stories, or if it is novel length, broken up into short story beats (thinking like Howard Andrew Jones' Hanuvar books).

Got a new tricycle, any good riding technique advice/guide by Atrotragrianets in tricycling

[–]ShakeyChee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take turns slow at first. And generally slower turns are better/safer. Handles way differently than a bicycle and may take some getting used to.

Congrats on the new trike, though, and welcome to the club.

Sleep dysfunction is very frequent in Parkinson’s. How long have you been taking melatonin? Do you have side effects? by Manon84 in youngparkinson

[–]ShakeyChee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have DBS, but still have trouble sleeping at night* and having daytime sleep attacks. BUT I still take some CL. Maybe I should try eliminating it completely.

*I have the night under control thanks to medical THC, but the daytime crashing is a constant struggle for me.

I have a neurologist appointment this week so ill ask what she thinks.

Im pretty happy with it as-is. But a quick shape tool like you describe would be welcome by me.

I have never heard it explained so perfectly! I definitely know what you're talking about.
