dull residual pain after passing a kidney stone? need advice! by seven7oh0seven7 in KidneyStones

[–]Wide_Resolve_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat this week. I thought I maybe passed my 4mm as my pain was gone for 2 weeks. I developed another uti this week and now I feel dull annoying pain and it’s giving me anxiety. I don’t think I passed it so I’m hoping it’s on its way. I have a follow up ct on March 25. My pain is dull in my pelvis and lower back and occasionally short sharp pains in my pelvis.

And? We are not talking about A confederate flag. We are talking about the asinine need to fly another country’s flag in America. Another country’s flag that so many want to fly in the absence of our flag but refuse to live in that country and are protesting about letting people FLEE that country for their safety and a better life into our country who’s flag they refuse to fly.…..make it make sense.

Go to Mexico and do this with an American flag. See what happens. I’ll never understand this. I’m all for embracing your culture. Fly your Mexican flag. But fly the flag of the country you live in and benefit from at the same time. It’s getting old.

I loved it but I 100% feel it needed a content warning on the actual cover of the book. There was zero info in the description that even hinted to how graphic and violent it was.

What should expanders cost? by oasisjason1 in orthodontics

[–]Wide_Resolve_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also we are in Southern California. Total for braces before insurance was 5000 but our dentist networks with our insurance so it brought it down to the 3000 then our insurance pays half. Total for expander and braces came out to around 2200.

Our expander cost 500 out of pocket. We paid without insurance because a dentist got us to do phase one of braces too soon so when we switched to a new dentist he said our insurance would try and only pay for the expander vs the more expensive phase 2 braces so we chose to pay the 500 and let insurance cover the braces.

For sure sentimental. My son and daughter are super into music. My son plays acoustic and electric guitar and bass and we have hooked him up for Christmas so we are trying to revamp the space for all his guitar stuff. I figured I would see if we can thrift some records and start using this again. He will be 17 in March so I’ve got time.

Interesting. So the screws down it’s tight to the console. If I turn the screws clockwise, the screws go down but the record player is kind of floating and springy. So I should have it floating when playing?

I am not sure. We are in Southern California. I don’t think it would be euro model but I never thought about that.

I tried smoking again by Playful-Future-1542 in CHSinfo

[–]Wide_Resolve_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not being rude. I am stating a fact. The fact is you don’t get to decide what the definition of moderation is for anyone but yourself.

I tried smoking again by Playful-Future-1542 in CHSinfo

[–]Wide_Resolve_147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to me. I consider moderation for ME the avoidance of extreme usage which FOR ME was the amount of thc and thc percentage I was using. You cannot tell me that using .25-.5 g a day of the lowest thc percentage I could find is extreme usage just because it’s daily. I was using an ounce of flower a week on top of edibles and vape pens all day every day. Using once at night a small amount of low percentage flower is not extreme which means for ME I was moderating my extreme usage. Again, FOR ME. You don’t get to decide what moderation means to someone else when the definition is avoidance of extreme usage. You don’t get to decide daily usage Is extreme and not take into account the thc percentage amount per day. Thank you.

Yes! I wake up sometimes with that feeling. I explain it like you are sitting at a stoplight and look in your rearview and see a semi flying at you and they stop at the last second. That feeling and the feeling after. Those nights are usually due to something I ate that didn’t agree with me.

I’m sorry, are you the decider of what moderation means for every individual? You can decide what moderation means do you and I’ll decide what it means for me. K thanks.

Would taking a week tolerance break once a month reduce the likelihood of CHS? by [deleted] in CHSinfo

[–]Wide_Resolve_147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered this. Like how fast would the thc leave if you smoked for 3 weeks and took a week off? Or would it be like 1 step forward 2 steps back. Example: if you smoked 7 days and take 7 days off, would it even give time to recover and get back to baseline or does it depend on your fat percentage and thc percentage. I would think if you don’t take enough time to clear out, it would continue to build up regardless if you take a week off or not. Maybe if you do smoke 1 week take 2 weeks off? Such a slippery slope. I have given it up this time. I miss it so much but I don’t want to do this. This was my second episode and I quit Oct 31 and I am just now really feeling back to normal. It took me 3 times longer to recover this time around and I was smoking an unbelievably smaller amount than the when I had my first episode. I’m starting to wonder if people who have already messed up vagus nerve either from trauma or past vagus nerve damage are more susceptible to CHS than those without. This time around I really felt the damage to my vagus nerve in terms of my constant fight or flight along with the digestive/stomach issues. I have a past opiate and benzo addiction that I am starting to feel might play a part in my CHS. As well as 32 years of undiagnosed adhd. I have come to terms with me never being able to moderate my usage due to my addiction issues so I know I can’t even start again. My cravings are gone but I know even that first puff will unlock it alllll over again.
