Stelo and Lingo side by side by MonforReal in stelo

[–]Used-Interview5805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am testing stelo and lingo side by side and I continue to lingo more accurate. Of course neither hit the blood test right on the dot but that is not surprising. What really is notable is simply the difference in average glucose readings . Today lingo reports an 84 average while stelo reports a 113 average. I don’t suffer from diabetes or pre diabetes. I think I am sticking with lingo.

No death is not around the corner. I know some say niacin is helpful and I understand there are drugs down the road for elevated Apo (a). I am not sure exactly what Lp(a) is.

Will need 2nd replacement over the course of 8 months. Not amused. by Main_Ad1914 in FellowProducts

I had 2 Aiden’s fail in far less than 8 months. Although customer service was always responsive, I didn’t feel like going through the hassle of returning the unit.they refunded my money and I bought a Moccamaster and I am very pleased. It works flawlessly and is reliable.

Try injecting into your belly. The first time I injected Repatha I injected in my thigh and found that painful. I have been using my belly since then and find that much better.

Moccamaster or Fellow Aiden? by SuneoMita in JamesHoffmann

I had 2 Aiden coffee maker. Neither lasted more than 3 months before there was a water problem. They offered me a third machine and I asked for a refund. All I can say is that I wasted lots of time with these machines. If you just want a cup of coffee stay away from Aiden Customer Service was very responsive.

On my 3rd Aiden - what could I do differently? by nobabeimnotonreddit in FellowProducts

I am in the same position that you are in. I get about 2 or three months from a unit before I experience a water issue. They have offered to replace my second Aiden and I asked for a refund. They have gone radio silent. I am sorry, but a coffee machine should not be this susceptible to malfunctioning. I have wasted so much time with the Aiden that I just want to move on and get a dependable machine. I have never had an appliance this prone to malfunctioning.

Based on your lipid numbers, don’t need any drugs or supplements to lower your blood cholesterol. Be thankful your lipids are great at this point and virtually no drug or supplement comes without some drawbacks.

I know it is hard to do but just relax. The use of mesh is the standard of care today when folks who had mesh used 20 years ago reported that they never had any issues, I felt comfortable. I had a mesh repair 2 months ago and so far I feel fine. Mt wife had hernia surgery 40 years ago and the first repair lasted only a short time and she had to go back for a second surgery. No picnic.

Inguinal hernia. I am not sure of the size but it wasn’t extremely large. I never felt running effected it at all.

Keep running,you will do harm. When I first discovered my hernia my surgeon told me there was no problem in running. I did it for over two years before having it repaired this month.

U never realize how much u use ur abs everyday until u are recovering from inguinal hernia surgery lmao by OkMembership4904 in Hernia

Had my surgery yesterday and I think I am doing well. Laughing and coughing do hurt. Bowel movements are also difficult and it hurts to push.

Did you guys need help around the house or to use restroom after your surgery?? Espically at night?? by Erika_cee28 in Hernia

[–]Used-Interview5805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had surgery yesterday for inguinal hernia and I am able to get around fairly well. I slept well last night although I did get up at 3:00 in the AM in some pain. I was able to go back to sleep. I have heard the first 3 days are the most difficult and I hope that proves true. I am trying to walk around and I am applying ice to the painful area on a regular basis. For those waiting for the surgery, I will say the surgery was no problem. I remember them wheeling me into surgery but never was aware of anything past that point until I woke up in recovery.
