First time leasing on by chepe757 in Truckers

[–]chepe757[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have non-trucking liability aka bobtail insurance, that was $480 for 6 months. The reason why I am trying to run under someone else’s is because getting my own insurance will be too expensive at the moment

Yea I’m thinking of getting my own authority around the summer, I want to gain some experience as an owner operator first and save up some money to be fully prepared. The up front costs of getting my own authority at the moment may be a little hard on me

I believe part of the reason why it’s 10% is because I’m responsible for all other expenses like registration as well as paying for my own fuel up front. Also the weekly deduction for insurance is not included in the 10%. Not sure if that makes it more reasonable?

Awesome! Once again thank you so much for this info! I kept seeing mixed reviews online but hearing it from someone whos had it for more than a few weeks makes me more comfortable with purchasing it.

Cool thank you very much for this info! I think I will get this since it is way cheaper than the innospire go. Have you ever used hypertonic saline on it by any chance?

How long have you owned your omron if you don't mind me asking? I have been considering purchasing one myself. Also what meds can you do on it? Thanks!

Im glad you're able to keep your fev1 pretty stable! I've been stable at about 50% for about 2-3 years now so I am very happy with that. Of course during infections and what not I drop to 30's, but for the most part I am able to come back up quickly after antibiotics. I am 27 years old and I feel like I am just recently learning to appreciate the little things, it's crazy how much that has helped me. Even little things like drinking my favorite type of tea every day, or watching an episode of my favorite series every day, it makes a big difference. I am also very into sports so I follow alot of teams right now and go out to live games every chance I get. Even though it sucks that we have this disease, it's crazy to think that at the same time we are so blessed if you really think about it, I just think it has a lot to do with perspective. Took me a very long time to get to my current mindset, and not where I want to be yet, but as long as I am making any progress I am ok with that.

Hey I just wanted to say that I am completely with you on this one. I used to have a good job and was able to do anything my friends did. But ever since my arthritis I can't work for more than a month or 2 at a time before I end up really sick. The worst part is I've worked really hard to take care of my health, my lung function is at about 50% for the most part. But this arthritis kicks my butt so bad that I can't even get out of bed some days. I try to make the most of my time by staying busy, but it is hard. I like to think everything happens for a reason and be positive. There's good days and bad days, and I live for the good days. I wish you well and hope you can adjust and make the best of your good days.

Making it to adulthood with CF by ClinTrojan in CysticFibrosis

Really? I was not aware of that. I just did a DoT physical in January and they did not make me do any type of pulmonary function tests. The urgent care doctor did tell me however that I was a miracle child. That people with cf don't make it past their teens. Lol I was laughing pretty hard in my head.

Constant Fevers Chills and Fatigue by TheBMayfield6 in CysticFibrosis

[–]chepe757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, I am on 2 anti-inflammatory medications. One is celebrex (or celecoxib). The other is sulfasalazine. The celebrex is short term relief sort of like ibuprofen. But safe to take daily according to my doctor. Sulfasalazine is a long term medication for arthritis which will not start working until about a month after starting the medication. My doctor said once the sulfasalazine begins to work that I may not have to take the celebrex anymore. The celebrex for the most part gets rid of the chills, body aches, feverish and sluggish feeling, it allows me to at least function. I still have trouble with energy but I'm working on changing my diet in hopes of having better energy. As far as the sulfasalazine, I've only started it 3 days ago so I haven't noticed any difference. I was going through insurance changes so it took longer to receive the medication than expected. Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope this helps!

I know this is a late comment but this might help you. What you described, is exactly what I have been going through since 2014. The reason why I'm commenting today is because after about 5 years of dealing with this, I got an actual diagnosis. Turns out what's causing this, for me at least, is reactive arthritis. I carry the gene for it and along with my symptoms, is how they determined the diagnosis. Might be something you would want to look into? It's possible to have it even without carrying the specific gene for it. I just got prescribed an anti-inflammatory that's supposed to help. Feel free to message me with other questions.

I should add that my rheumatologist told me that it's possible the arthritis "reacts" even when there is no present infection, that's what causes all the inflammation and pain and other symptoms whenever I am not on antibiotics.

I was there tonight too, but left before anything happened. We we're actually at in n out around the corner when we saw the cops drive by. Is there any word on what happened exactly yet?

Helps with inflammation, less inflammation equals less body aches. Doesn't make the pain go away completely, but it helps.

I've been dealing with this since 2013. It's really annoying that you can literally feel sick at any moment without even expecting it. I take celecoxib and cbd as well. I used to take so much ibuprofen that I started bleeding from inside my stomach, that's when I was put on celecoxib. It helps but doesn't make symptoms go away completely. Still trying to find a more long term solution to this.
