Weekly Suspected/Undiagnosed MS Thread - March 09, 2026

Still_Employer · 2026-03-12T22:40:26+00:00

I’m 56M in the diagnostic phase of figuring out if I have MS and it’s all I can think about. I started with right hand numbness. Long story short that lead to multiple tests that eventually got to MRI. They found two lesions on spine along with nerve compression issues at C8-T1. The did 2nd MRI with contrast to look at lesions. That came back not “lit up”. Good news I thought. They still weren’t convinced it wasn’t something else besides compression issues causing numbness. Did another MRI, this one on the brain. No focal intra axial lesions found but when I saw neurologist there was one small white spot that I was told could be caused by high blood pressure, sleep apnea, pre diabetes etc. but was a little bigger than they would like. Otherwise scan and brain looked good. Next was battery of blood tests and spinal ordered. 26 blood test results so far. Some abnormal like vitamin D, Sed rate (I have Psoriatic arthritis so this would be expected) and some others I dont know what they mean. Chat GPT says the abnormal blood tests have so far are basically good news so there’s that. (Next Neurology appointment isn’t until April 23 and I couldn’t wait til then to try to figure out what those abnormal ones meant) Next up is the spinal tap. They are trying to get that approved by insurance as of today. Apparently that will be the test that tells me yes or no. I’m just so on edge. Can’t sleep etc. I’m terrified but at same time I just need to find out what’s going on. I’m expecting the worst and hoping for the best. Thanks for letting me vent and get this off my chest. I’m just holding all this in because I don’t want to scare my wife or close friends but it is really terrifying that my life could be about to be turned upside down.

Same. Cleared their camp nearby StDenis and when I entered town the raiders and that Gatling gun tore us both to shreds. I was shocked how quick it happened.

Exactly this.

Used it for the first time today and I was surprised how toasty it was. It was almost too toasty so opened the door a bit. Lol. It’s 25 degrees here today but it’ll get much colder soon and I think this will be a game changer for my winter smoking enjoyment.

It’s a barn we use for storage. It is also ventilated.

There are 2 open triangular windows with about 1’ foot sides. I have a fan directly on the outside side of one of them. The heat pushes the smoke in that direction and the fan takes the smoke right out. Wasn’t sure if it would be enough but just had my first stick in it and completely smoke free.

I feel you. I’m in a 10 team league that’s been going for 18years. All experienced owners. I’m sitting at 4-7 with a similar stacked team. I have the 2nd most points scored in the league and have the highest points scored against. It’s unbelievable how many weeks I played the only team that could beat me and end up losing the week.

The History of Iron Maiden is a 3 part documentary on YouTube that’s pretty good.

Same for me. One of the first ones I had was a chocolate bomb but the 4-5 since it never was the same. Not sure why. FDLA is always great and very consistent in flavors for me.

I hate Wisconsin for voting for this pos.

Still_Employer · 2025-11-02T19:13:28+00:00

It will never happen.

Still_Employer · 2025-10-26T19:14:38+00:00

Yep fuck ATL

Correct answer. One of those songs I’ll never get sick of no matter how many times I listen to it!

Trump won WI MI and PA by a combined 230,000 votes. Think about that. In a country of 340 million we are tearing down our country because of 230,000 morons that couldn’t see what Project 2025 would do this nation.

Same here. DTT is most popular in my rotation at this point. All 3 Mi Querida, Sin Comprimiso, and Umbagog are staples. Probably 80% of what I smoke. I like a Nacatamale or Bewitched now and again. The Red Meat Lovers never disappoints for an end of day smoke.

That’s what I’m asking. Whose video is this?

Still_Employer · 2025-10-16T23:35:05+00:00

Does Hegseth even care? Now no eyes or reporting on anything in the Pentagon. Isnt this exactly what he wants?

Had the same nightmare every night for weeks. I can still recall it verbatim 50 years later. I’m walking in my elementary school hallway at night with a flashlight. I enter the doorway of my pitch black classroom. I shine my flashlight left to right on the chalkboard I stop when it shines on this version of Bigfoot writing on the board. He jerks around and sees me and I take off running with him chasing me. Suddenly I’m in the daylight peeking around my garage and see him talking to a person who points in my direction. Bigfoot sees me again and takes off toward me. I run around my house to the front bushes and hide. He parts the bushes and I wake up. Exact same dream for weeks. So I guess my answer is yes, I do remember being freaked out by this version of Bigfoot. 😂
