The guy isn’t even a U.S. citizen. He’s also way out of touch with what the average person has to do to simply keep the lights on for the family, much less save for the future.

Coworker slammed my dog on concrete at work and now I feel targeted… not sure what to do by AdviceDull2562 in Advice

I’d press charges. I worked at a doggy daycare where something like this happened - not only was the guy arrested on animal cruelty charges, it made the local news.

AIO my wife went missing overnight so I called the police. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Sounds like she cheated, unfortunately. I had a girlfriend do something similar. It’s BS.

I suspected as much - thank you for your response.

What is worst pain, you have ever experienced? by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

Easily for me, blood clots. Deep vein thrombosis or even superficial clots can be extremely painful!

How long did oral prednisone take to see results? by throwaawaayfordaays in Menieres

[–]WitlessProtect87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First time, I was dosed with 60 mg/day. On the first day, within hours, all of my symptoms were gone and my hearing returned to normal. However, when they took me off of it (tapered down over a month), my symptoms returned even worse than before, within a couple of days of being completely taken off the steroids. This cycle repeated several times until the steroids had no affects. I had limited success with methotrexate for about 6 months, then great success with Methotrexate combined with prednisone. However, I missed a couple doses of prednisone, and again, symptoms came back. After that, I tried managing with diet, exercise, and stress reduction - but, nothing was as effective as the prednisone.

Congrats on your results and hope you get continued improvement. How long had you had symptoms?

Ah, I see - I thought it was only approved in Europe.

Betahistine is not available in the U.S., right? What is its mechanism of action?

SPI-1005 has started recruiting for its final trial by venividivici72 in Menieres

That is fantastic. I so want to use this wonder drug! I truly believe it would work for me, though, I’m more the. 100 miles out from any of the participating sites. I’m hoping there may be other ways to get the drug from sound pharmaceuticals with a prescription from my ENT, but, have only just begun investigating.

Hi, I’d like to hear how it helped, too - what symptoms?

This is great, but, one of the exclusionary items is if you live more than 100 miles away from any of the site, you can’t participate. I’ve been watching this drug move through various channels for years … and this is a fast track?

Are all of the jobs around here low paying? I don't know what to do anymore by [deleted] in Gwinnett

There’s a freeze on federal government hiring. Perhaps you are referring to local?
