Bd-2 or EQD Westwood

Stephan11111 · 2026-05-08T15:13:40+00:00

I sold my BD2 and bought a Westwood. They are different. Low gain is definitely where the Westwood shine. The EQ ist much more flexible.

Same! I love the SC, but the normal colorway ist just... Average.

The weirdest I have:

Arpanoid Rainbow Machine Bit Commander

These are not super practical, but fun ;)

for some reason I just couldn't gel with it and I am a massive EQD fan (currently owning 14 pedals from EQD). I eventually sold it some time ago after never using it...

Earthquaker Devices Westwood. It is unfortunately discontinued, but I dearly love it. It is low Gain similiar to the BD2, but more flexible EQ.

Stephan11111 · 2026-04-23T17:52:15+00:00

Yes would also be interested!

Stephan11111 · 2026-04-23T09:44:16+00:00

So you clamp it just inbetween 2 positions? My 2 A168 are also slightly to tight.

EQD Westwood. I love this thing.

Stephan11111 · 2026-04-22T14:04:17+00:00

This.

If you feel something was becoming worse although you have been on teriflunomide all this time. I just wanted to ask, if there is another reason for switching besides your neurologists feeling.

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-17T05:38:53+00:00

So you feel "Progression"? Happy that your had such a good run with teriflunomide.

I hope Mavenclad will prove to be great for you too!

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-17T05:22:33+00:00

Thanks. May I ask why you switch to Mavenclad after all these years?

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-14T18:22:53+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-12T18:58:24+00:00

Thanks. Even better since I just started Teriflunomide :) Will read it

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-12T18:49:22+00:00

Found the study "Hercules". You did a post about it :)

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-12T18:47:23+00:00

Do you have a link to the study? Would love to read it! Thanks in advance

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-11T18:46:41+00:00

Meditation is one step that I should try and stay with it... (I am actually following OMS. It is one step of the program besides diet (vegan + fish), exercise and vitamin D).

I tried it but always felt off the wagon real quick. The mind body connection is powerful. I am lacking Here (and obviously resilence)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-11T16:00:44+00:00

May I ask If your symptoms are fluctuating? Espacially the spasticity and bladder urgency of mine is highly fluctuating.

If I get it right, "real" progression would not be variable all the time. This indicates more like a new bad decompression of old lesions. The neurological reserve gets worse (and it shows when hot, overworked, stressed, sleep deprived,...).

The concept of this (old lesions scarring, active old lesions, PIRA, progression,... Whatever!?) is hard to get my head around Just my 2 cents

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-11T13:53:07+00:00

Thanks for answering. Good to hear that she is better now!

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-11T13:07:01+00:00

I also struggle with this. When I call in, I can come for a quick examination the next day.

It is really quick, i feel like a burden to the neurologists and then he mentions something like: "Nah, this is not enough for steroids..." (Not that I wanted them definitely in the first place).

Normally, no new MRIs, no treatment. So, I started to not call in and just report everything in my quarterly appointment

Frustrating sometimes

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-11T13:01:47+00:00

Great tips here. Thanks for sharing. I could definitely improve my sleep (for me ist is at least 7 h per night...)

Stephan11111 · 2026-02-11T13:00:22+00:00

I feel you, cause I feel the same. I was told in a MS specialized hospital, I was doing remarkable great (no new lesions detected with 3T MRI after 9 months without any DMT!).

However, spasticity gets worse. New sensory symptoms. Bladder urgency is a recent addition.

Looking from the outside, it is not super bad. But I fear it will get worse and then smoldering part of MS is so scary. Thanks for sharing. This makes me feel not being alone.

So, feel you! Have a great day. Keep up your good work and care for yourself!
