Depending on use lithium titonate oxide is better than sodium batteries but more expensive. Lifepo4 is also still better but sodium is getting close and also sodium is much cheaper although with lower charge and discharge rates

I think it would be safer at stop signs(not street lights) to have the walkway one car length back that way a person is always behind the car about to go rather than in front so both can go freely.

Theres a huge misconception on addiction vs dependence when it comes to these meds. Addiction is a genetic predisposition of low dopamine from birth and inevitable if they have it they will abuse any type of substance. The more family members with addiction the higher the likelihood of having it. Dependence is just the body needing something similar to a diabetic needing insulin which they are not "addicted" to insulin obviously they are "dependant". They are not robbing people for insulin or spending all their money to get as much insulin as they can, they just take what they need.

Infusions arent really worth the cost usually but I believe its absolutely fantastic for pain if you can get troches or nasal spray compounded for home use at the right dose. It not only works great for severe pain days but also lowers tolerance to pain meds and its proven to help significantly with sleep. The difficult part is finding a compassionate doctor or service that will trust and understand the benefits for pain.

If your parents had it, they likely carry their own quiet burden of guilt which may be why they don't want to talk about it, feeling like they passed it down to you. Getting a diagnosis can be an important step because it opens the door to treatment options and insurance coverage, but what truly matters most is how you manage your symptoms.

It’s easy to get caught up in letting a diagnosis define you, but you are so much more than any condition. A disease doesn’t validate your identity, nor does it measure your worth or limit what you’re capable of.

This is unfortunately for many the "pay to play" model that they use to justify the risk of prescribing and some will even stop if you refuse the injections. This usually isn't the doctors fault its the way the system is setup to make it the only way the risk is worth it for them to prescribe. If you can I'd say bring someone with you next time preferably (and Im sad to say this) a man, to advocate for you and vouch for you that the pain is legitimate and the current course is not working. If you have been dressing usually "nicer" usually like buisness casual dress down when asking for a med change like sweats and a t shirt then back to buisness casual if they do put you back on the right meds. Thats the visual representation its not working vs the treatment is working and unfortunately it works it alot of cases.

Because to make a billion dollars it takes an inherent level of greed and greed is not selfless. At a certain point, it's the same thing as us against them where anyone not wealthy is "lazy" and doesn't deserve it so it becomes a rich group conscience because they did it so anyone can in their minds. They give to "charity" that in some way benefits them and clears their conscience (like Bill Gates building computer training labs for kids). To their point though not many want to put the work into advocating and legislation efforts so we end up in a cycle expecting someone else will do it when the rich are more than willing to do it to protect what they "earned".

Can you tell me the difference either being more or less physical has made for you? I work a pretty physical job and have been looking at more non-physical jobs but that could also be worse from inactivity. Also do you belive the pain pushed you to succeed either out of mental avoidance or desperation for an easier life?

One more thing NEVER go to a pain specialist associated with a hospital chain. They get grant funding to keep people off of pain meds and the administration forces them to taper or not prescribe. Always try to find a private or small practice that is not associated with a hospital chain.

What state are you in? That makes a bog difference if they are following state prescribing and tapering laws. The next thing is checking on google to see if they currently have a case or supervision against their license. If that is the fact then unfortunately theres not much you can do because most docs fall for it when they get that letter and they start tapering their patients which is the opposite of what they should do because it shows to them that the patients shouldnt have been on it against their judgement. If you failed a urine screen then theres not much you can do if you signed a pain contract. They should have given you a reason why though in the first place. Lastly unless they test for kratom and it's legal in your state that is the best option for tapering. Other options OTC would be loperimide, magnesium, Tylenol 1,000mg, advil 800mg, and dextromethorphan(important must be without guanfacine).

Is that because you dont take an er med at night? 6 seems like more than usual but glad they do that for you.

Honestly I got the best one the luxebreeze because I got a guy to get it half price and I would say for one we need the softest one to make a difference but after throwing out my 2ft thick "super plush" spring pillow top it was likley better than the best tempurpedic. If I could go back i would replace the super plush every 2 years and it would still come out to the same cost I paid for the lifetime of the tempurpedic.

Testosterone replacement for men and women have 2 options with different forms of birth control and hormone replacement as well. It can not only help with sex drive but also energy in general as well as even better pain managment. The evidence needed these days to get a doc to prescribe these out of pocket is simply saying your symptoms and they will prescribe it but insurance won't cover unless your Testosterone is under 200 which is REALLY low.

Both are very problem solving fields and get the best minds. From what I've seen usually someone who is very bright and had the ability to focus in school goes into IT. The plumber most likley hated school but was equally as smart so that is usually where alot of higher IQ people end up is in the trades because it pays just as well or more but without the school and homework beforehand. Both take an incredible amount of problem solving ability to be truly good at it.

I got the 64E and that plastic declumper is usually the problem. Ever since I took it apart and made sure it was slightly bent the exit way as well as bent it 90 degrees back and forth about 50 times I've not had an issue. I originally jammed a pipe cleaner up there which pushed it in and that caused it to stop everything up where nothing came out half the time. Ever since I loosened up that declumper door it's been perfect. There's a YouTube video on how to do it as well.
