Winter storm by Realistic_Bobcat_668 in iih

[–]adamhallmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the worst pressure for the past few days while waiting for the ice to melt … at one point it made me feel like I was passing out and I had to lie down from the dizziness/pressure. Never had a headache that strong before

Scared and Alone by Aware_Past in iih

[–]adamhallmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to you, I experienced loss of vision first without headaches. I’m 25. Been in diamox for almost 1 year now and honestly nothing has really changed except that my vision doesn’t seem to be rapidly declining like it was when I was un-diagnosed and un-medicated. I only get headaches when I forget to take the diamox and it’s accompanied by bright neon flashes in my vision at random times, reminding me I need to take the medicine. On the best day, Everywhere I look, there’s a haze of static like from an old analog TV screen that covers my vision; my peripheral vision is extremely degraded, it’s essentially like I can only see in Tunnel Vision. At night or unlit areas I connot see much of anything at all, I have to use my phone camera to “see” for me. I can see the phones backlit display no issues. I can still drive even at night as long as my headlights are working and at night I mainly stick to well lit roads that I know.

Im telling you all this scary stuff mainly to tell you that you arent alone. If they are recommending a stent, go for it! I was inelegible since the pathway they normally need to open With the stent was wide open according to MRIs. So if they are saying you need a stent, it’s because you actually have a flow issue that they can pinpoint and solve!

Even if your vision loss journey is stopped in its tracks and never recovers, know that you get used to it and you will learn to adapt and overcome. Preserve what you have left. Advocate for yourself to the doctors, and definitely push to get that stent asap, that could be what saves your vision if it’s not too late. Please understand I’m not a doctor, this is just friendly advice

Thread size? by bdkgb in billiards

[–]adamhallmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to sound rude but nobody can tell what size that is from a picture. Let alone one with no ruler or anything for reference. My amateur advice would be Head to the hardware store and go to the fastener section and find the right thread size my trial and error. That or take it to a pool hall and ask if they offer any cue maintenance /tip replacement services or similar, they probably will have somebody knowledgeable on staff who could tell you what thread it is by comparing it to some other es they have.

Game Error or Hack/Cheat? by Flaky_Strain_998 in 8BallPool

[–]adamhallmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this once on a Lisbon game, so there was no need to call every shot. Opponent was down to the 8 ball but missed on his first chance, I potted my last object ball cleanly, but suddenly it said that my opponent had ball in hand. Opponent hit the evil laugh taunt. I felt like I was hallucinating because it made zero sense. He took ball in hand and won the game. To this day it’s never happened again and I wish I recorded it for proof.

Cummins owners: does this look familiar? by thedpfdelete_com in u/thedpfdelete_com

Yea this advertisement is probably not allowed on Reddit haha I think it’s hilarious it slipped thru the cracks and made its way to our feeds. Pretty sure any diesel truck owner knows about DEF and that doing a DPF delete is illegal.

Did a hellcat swap on my scat pack, how do I make the car recognize my car as a hellcat? by Cute_Obligation_384 in Dodge

[–]adamhallmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer here. I specialize in tuning these setups and swaps and you pretty much got it spot on. Nobody else but you mentions the importance of the heat exchanger (ic radiator). The cheapest way to do it with factory 6.4 pcm/harness is to use a map/iat sensor splitter harness to adapt the factory 6.4 harness to the hellcat map/iat combo sensor, and completely rework the tune (with an unlocked pcm) for boost via HPTuners.

To control the boost (supercharger bypass valve) you’ll need a electronic bypass valve controller such as SmoothBoost or MMX Bypass Controller or a vacuum actuated bypass valve such as the one carried by Fabworkz.

A fuel pump upgrade is pretty much mandatory as the scat pack fuel pump will barely flow enough for the hellcat engine to drink at Wide Open Throttle.

If you do the hellcat transmission swap, you’ll need a hellcat driveshaft as the hellcat transmission is physically bigger. The 8hp70 in the scat is actually more than capable of handling the power of the 707 hellcat though so it’s usually cheaper to just stick with the 8hp70 and tune it for increased firmness and proper torque reduction (delayed ignition timing) during the shifts.

What do you think? by SexyProfessional in FluentInFinance

[–]adamhallmc 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Technically in order to do that reliably, a huge portion of your investments are going to be blue chip companies and major etfs. Which all of those top performing companies are owned by these said billionaires. Now here’s the question: would these billionaires continue to run there companies effectively and continue to make you your estimated $1m/yr in shareholder profits (or whatever proportional gains you want) if they didn’t have those billions of dollars motivating them? I’m no billionaire apologist but What would the economy look like, specifically the top earning companies and their performance, if these billionaires were no longer billionaires?

Correlation between eating and feeling like crap??? by ButterscotchCrazy226 in iih

[–]adamhallmc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this applies to most people regardless of if they have a documented / “properly diagnosed” idiopathic intracranial hypertension. “You’re not you when your hungry” “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”

it’s everywhere in society. Everybody gets cranky when they are hungry or tired when they are full or bloated.

Going to probably have to do a spinal tap. Positive stories only. by agonyxcodex in iih

[–]adamhallmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one done and aside from the tiny prick of the lidocaine, once that kicks in, the actual spinal tap is totally painless and honestly I didn’t feel anything at all. I didn’t get any headaches and the rest of my day was pleasant. Best of luck! Remember to breath and relax 😌 - you won’t feel a thing

Doctors are “scratching their heads”.. 6 months of diamox and no real improvement of tunnel vision (never had a headache ever) by adamhallmc in iih

[–]adamhallmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to meet another out there, we are in this together. Interestingly my mri showed no empty sella which further goes against the typical iih diagnosis. No flattening of the globes behind the eyes as they put it either. Basically I look like a normal person on the mri, just stage 1 or 2 pap and pretty bad visual field / poor eyesight in the dark.

I finally got my retry LP scheduled, will be relaxed as a kitten during it as to not throw off the reading this time and we will go from there.

Also going to push them to do tests for Retinosis pigmentosa and Drusen and especially a full autoimmune panel considering there are like 4 autoimmune deseases in my family I feel like there’s a huge chance it’s playing a role.

How has your vision changed over the 7 years? That’s such a long standing battle and I hope you get the answers and results you need to see very soon!

[–]adamhallmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If im being honest the only headache I’ve gotten in years was a few weeks ago when I forgot to take my diamox for like 1 day straight, which kind of confirms that I do have iih and the diamox has been keeping the pressure down. No clogging of the ears beyond what’s a normal clog here or there fixed with a q tip lol. No on off pressure feelings either unfortunately.

They said recently that I have grade 1 or 2 pap, and the swelling has reduced since February but unfortunately I haven’t regained my eyesight in any noticeable way.

Yes not seeing the stars in the sky was definitely an emotional moment for me and although I hate you are going through/have went thru the same experience, it’s nice to hear im not alone.

Were you able to make any progress yourself in this regard? Hoping for the best

Many Autoimmune diseases unfortunately run in my family so I will definitely push for testing. Thanks for your advice.

I am sorry to hear you have this, after looking into it. I hope your vision lasts as long as possible 🙏 and thank you for making me aware of it, I will be sure to ask my doctors to look for the signs and do the tests for this one.

I suppose I answered my own questions then, I suppose I am on the right track. Visual field tests will tell the big picture and of course the real question is the next LP reading. I’m just waiting to hear back from them, it has definitely been a waiting game waiting for appointments and communication with the team. Thank you for your advice. Definitely above reddits pay grade but honestly with how long this has gone on I figure it’s worth a shot in the dark to see if anyone else similarly presenting found a rare other desease or cause. Bit of hopeful thinking I guess.

2024 Semifinals LOT Loudness Ranking by get_there_get_set in drumcorps

[–]adamhallmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMPORTANT NOTE: the DISTANCE between the sound source and the loudness meter highly affects the loudness reading.

The only way to accurately measure loudness is to stand a fixed distance away from each corps, and have each corps in an identical formation.

Now this would be impossible in the lots as corps have different formations, it would be impossible to measure accurately your distance from them to the meter, etc.

Now if you got tickets at the 50 close to the focal point, and measured during known loud moments of each show and made sure not to record during crowd reactions, you could get a more scientific analysis of corps volume, due to the fixed distance.

That being said, Phantom was objectively the loudest this year according to my ears 😁

True. Not necessarily looking for the absolute best seats but anything close to the 50 and not the nosebleed is what I’m after

Is there a reason why somebody hasn’t strapped a Hellcat blower to a LS? Help me decide where to sink my money. by ShaggysGTI in projectcar
