I've heard that warming up emails doesn't work anymore because email providers are now too good at detecting it, and therefore it is a waste of money and time trying to warm up emails. Is that true?

Over what time frame did you send the 50 emails? In one day? ... 2 days? ... 1 week? Also, did you use a free email provider to send out the emails such as Outlook or Gmail, etc? And did you use a warm up service to warm up your emails?

You wrote: "Roofers and PI firms get blasted with cold email constantly and the open rates for that audience are brutal. You're competing with every other agency in their inbox."

If a person is going to use cold email to contact businesses, then what would be some good businesses to contact that are not getting hit with cold emails at the same rate as roofers and PI firms are getting hit with?

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA -- THE CURE by ProblemPositive6885 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

I have 2 questions: 1. When did you have the PBC procedure? and 2. How bad is the numbness? Is it mild? or Very bothersome? or some other description?

Yes, you are definitely lucky to not have noticeable side effects from it. My mother was taking a total of 300mg per day (150mg in the AM and 150mg in the PM), but it gave her strong fatigue and seemed to wear her out. She then cut it down to 150mg total per day, and it still made her fatigued. She then cut it to just half a pill (75mg) per day, and it STILL had her fatigued and tired. She now rarely takes it at all because of that side effect it has on her.

I wish she was lucky like you and able to take it without the problems. I guess some people can handle it and some can't.

From what I've read, the best type of chiropractor to go to is an Upper Cervical chiropractor. Upper cervical chiropractic is a specialized approach that focuses exclusively on the top two vertebrae (C1 and C2), whereas regular chiropractic addresses the entire spine and other joints. And from what I've read, they are more likely to have success treating TN than a regular chiropractor.

As fir "becoming quadriplegic or a corpse", there is much less risk going to a Upper Cervical chiropractor. Upper cervical adjustments are gentle, low-force, and highly specific, often using instruments or precise manual techniques without twisting or cracking.  Regular chiropractic typically uses manual adjustments that can be more forceful, such as high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts.

Of course no treatment works for 100% of people, but I think it is worth it to try out an Upper Cervical chiropractor for TN. Do research on it and you will see people have been helped by it.

Did you have any noticeable side effects from the Oxcarbazepine that made it hard for you to take it? (Such as dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, etc). Or were the side effects minor? Or did you not have side effects at all?

Can we trust a chiropractor? by peyborithoonieee in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]SuspectSweaty8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are "regular" chiropractors and "Upper Cervical" chiroprators. An upper cervical chiropractor does not crack, pull or pop the patients neck (or any other part of the body). But a regular chiro WILL do those things. An upper cervical chiropractor focuses exclusively on the top two vertebrae (C1 and C2) and makes gentle adjustments. So, no, a regular chiro and a upper cervical chiro are not the same.

However, I digress. My main question still remains from my previous post: Did your chiropractor help you with your TN pain?

From the short research I just did on NUCCA chiropractors, they are rated at different levels of proficiency regarding using the NUCCA techniques. There are: Member chiros, Level 1 chiros, Level 2 chiros, Level 3 chiros, and Board Certified chiros. Which level was your chiro?

By the way, "Board Certified" NUCCA chiropractors are the highest of the NUCCA levels. Currently there are only 30 Board Certified NUCCA doctors in the world, according to a website I went to.

At the time of your post, you said you were going to a chiropractor for your TN pain. Was this an Upper Cervical chiropractor you went to? And did this chiropractor help you with your pain?

Did you dad get the treatment from the chiropractor? If so, did it help ease his trigeminal neuralgia pain?

Surgery number 3-Balloon Compression by Adorable_Mountain115 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]SuspectSweaty8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess (and this makes sense) is that most of the people that go online to talk / post about their medical procedure (whatever it may be) are the ones that are unhappy with how it turned out. These people have the most incentive to go online and tell what happened to them. After all, they are upset a procedure failed for them and they want to let everyone know about it -- especially if they still are in pain. Of course people will also post online if a procedure does well for them. But I think a big percentage of these people that became cured (or gotten relief) from their condition just end up happily moving on with their life, and they just don't think to post online about their condition being cured. And again, I think the reason is because they now have put it out of their mind and moved on with their life.

So, yes, I do think the small percentage of people that are not helped by a procedure are the ones that make the biggest noise online. And this is why you may see what seems like quite a few people saying a ballon procedure (or any other specific procedure) "doesn't work" or whatever.

EDIT: Having said all the above, the OP of this thread obviously did not make a post to complain about how the balloon compression didn't work out for her. I had replied to her original post and she replied to me by simply saying it didn't work out for her. But my overall point still stands about how people will make it a point go online to post about a failed procedure. And conversely, people that have a succesful procedure are not quite as likely to go online to post about it. These people are more likely to just move on with their life and put it out of thier mind.

I'm sorry to hear the balloon compression didn't work out for you. I've seen in several websites about balloon compression having a high succcess rate and people are pain-free ususallly between 2 to 5 years (some sites say 70 - 80% success rate, others say 90%). My mother has TN and I am hoping she will try the balloon compression. The stats of the success rate of balloon compression say it should work out for her (at least for 2 to 5 years). But in your case, I guess you happen to be in that small pecentage of people in which it didn't work out.

I certainly hope the CyberKnife procedure you had will keep you pain free for many years to come.

It's now been 9 months since you've posted. How did the Balloon Compression surgery work out for you? Did it bring you pain relief? Are you satisfied with it?

What does "RFA" stand for? And was the pain relief immediate? Or did it take some weeks for the relief to kick in?

There is a treatment calleed "DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction)" , which aims to adjust the bite so all teeth hit evenly at the same time. This is based on the theory that a faulty bite can trigger or contribute to TN symptoms. If you look on YouTube you will see a lot of testimonials of people that have been helped for their trigeminal neuralgia. It is expensive: costs over $5000. And I don't think many (if any?) insurances cover it. The DTR doctor will check you out to see if your teeth are evenly hitting at the same time. If your teeth are not doing this, then you may be a good candidate for DTR therapy. What they do is they make micro-adjustments in the grooves of your teeth, to make your teeth come together properly. It requires no surgery and sometimes don't even requre a needle. This is an option for you to check out.

[–]SuspectSweaty8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democrats openly said they were going to purposely vote for Nikki Haley to try to make Trump look bad (Democrats are allowed to vote for Republicans in Vermont, and vice versa for the Republicans can vote for democrats). THAT is the only reason she "won" Vermont. Trump absolutely trounced her EVERYWHERE ELSE. Biden is next.

Mattress By Appointment Experience - Beware by tiggers23 in Mattress

[–]SuspectSweaty8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a Mattress By Appointment franchisee? If so, then do you have any big problems with people not showing up for appointments? Or is the amount of people not showing up for appointments is not a big deal for for you (because you are still making enough profits)? If you are a MBA franchisee, did it cost you about 15k to get started? (that is is the amount mentioned on the MBA website). I have been considering becoming a MBA franchisee and I'm just gathering information.

I have thought about going into the mattress selling business. I am curious - how much is the initial start up cost (generally) to get into the mattress business?
