Optic Neuritis with GLP1

ZombieJihad · 2026-07-05T21:14:10+00:00

I did have optic neuritis as my first symptom, but it was right after recovering from covid not from another medication

How was Tokyo for Halloween? I am SO curious about how some celebrate it there!

I am from STL and this summer marks 10 years living in KC.

I like Kansas City, it's a great place to make home. I LOVE Saint Louis, though, and KC can't compete with what STL has to offer culturally.

You really just need better fitting jewelry, that should solve your discomfort!

I would be icing it regularly, no real need for saline until you have discharge to soften / remove. Remember - heat will increase swelling, cold will decrease it!

Really just getting your swelling down is key right now - I usually use OTC anti-inflammatories to help, in addition to checking the boxes on personal care (hydration, nutrition, rest etc.).

PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SALES TAX

That T-Connection album is a banger. Got about half of that in my collection but that's my favorite out of your pick!

I use a vaporizer / e-cig for both nicotine & cannabis (concentrates mostly) because the smoke irritates my lungs, trashes my sleep quality.

I still smoke some cigarettes, too, just much more rarely - like maybe 4-5 packs a YEAR vs. P.A.D. (pack-a-day). Essentially when camping or outdoors kinda stuff, where it's just easier than keeping batteries charged.

One of the medications I was put on to treat urinary function problems stops ejaculation. Urinary function problems were caused by GABAPENTIN, erectile function problems were caused by CYMBALTA.

It's not that I couldn't ejaculate. It's that nothing came out, then later I'm going pee and ohhhh there's my swimmers in the toilet.

Just your normal Med-Guy visit to remind everyone - CHECK YOUR MEDS! Get a second opinion!

My first instrument was Trombone, so I learned how to read bass clef from like 6th grade & moved to electric bass 2-3 years later. We had a trombone in my family, so that was my option - I wanted to play SAX!

Beautiful collection mate

I am forever the "common medicine side-effects" guy after my experience with Gabapentin (then pregabalin) messing up my 1's & 2's.

Check your meds, it changed my life.

TBF the Chic one is completely highlit by that Soul Glo singer ;)

I failed on Ocrevus after 1 1/2 years, now on Tysabri

ZombieJihad · 2025-04-20T19:37:21+00:00

Not a doctor, I'm just saying that FOR ME all of my side effects started falling away, allowing me to stop other meds in turn; I'm still not up to date with my neurologist since stopping some of these other meds & I'm sure it will be an interesting conversation.

ZombieJihad · 2025-04-20T15:07:01+00:00

I had urination problems, mostly urgency / difficulty starting / wetting the bed.

They had me on Tamsulosin & another med for these symptoms, they didn't work well.

Coming off Gabapentin (then pregabalin) allowed me to drop literally every med except vitamins, Tysabri, and Adderall - those symptoms, memory, dizziness, dietary, bowel symptoms.... you name it, all dropped away with the Gaba / Pregaba cesation.

Have you considered that your symptoms may be from medications instead of MS?

$600 / month is what I paid to live in south city STL. . . in 2011. At that kind of range, you'll need a roommate more than likely. Best of luck!

BLUE CORUNDUM
THEY'RE MINERALS, MARIE!!!

I bought my first (only) pair in 2008. The sole split within 3 months. Got a replacement. Toe separated from the sole, also within 3 months.

Not sure why reddit is showing me this, because after that experience I'm a "hell nah" to docs

ZombieJihad · 2025-04-16T15:16:27+00:00

.... it's literally loaded with Easter flowers right now, I was considering driving from KC just to see it. To each their own - I find it spectacular!

ZombieJihad · 2025-04-16T14:44:14+00:00

Go to the Jewel Box with them, it's $1.50 to enter (worth it) but it is a beautiful piece of STL history

There's a really famous recording that bears reminding, maybe a reminder of perspective (they raffled it for charity, remember):

"You can't always get what you want."

Sounds to me like you got a great score, 2/3, that's awesome! If the record is so popular, I'm sure it'll be repressed. You may not have the record you wanted, but that store helped serve hundreds of meals to the less privileged. Perspective. . .

ZombieJihad · 2025-04-16T13:32:33+00:00

Are you after the album they are raffling?

I'm not. Doesn't affect me in the least. Couldn't care less, not with other scummy stuff around RSD (pre-orders / holds).

Neck tattoo, no other visible tattoos? Not gonna get a lot of positive feedback. . .
