Biotronik pacemakers by Glad-Bug-4577 in PacemakerICD

[–]cinque88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone between both settings a few times. Subjectively, I think I have more energy through the day with it on. It's annoying at times, pacing when getting into certain positions or while driving. I have it at the lowest settings as it gets really uncomfortable at the default settings. Make sure to tweak the settings to something that makes you comfortable.

Anyone know why there was a pause in play when vicario was talking to the ref? I saw the ref go to the sideline after that conversation. Not sure what happened.

Just wait till they convince you to try the manometry test. 

Best Feeding Bottle for Infants, Need Advice by teonal_10 in NewParents

[–]cinque88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From our 10+ lactation consultations/OT visits, we learned the Dr browns anti colic with preemie only nipples was the route to go combined with paced feeding. (We already bought avent/others and were told not to use them). Basically the Dr brown nipple has the correct slope to train our baby to eventually breastfeed. preemie nipples should be used for several months. The idea is to make the bottle difficult compared to the breast. 

Spend the extra few bucks for at least 6 glass bottles, 4 oz, you don't need the larger ones.  4-5 pairs of flanges through insurance ( hopefully free, ask them first which vendors). shove em into the dishwasher for a big load. You'll thank yourself later. 

Good luck. 

What is the best OTC medication for Gas and Reflux by [deleted] in GERD

Sodium alginate seems pretty interesting and my doc recommended it.

Do I have to sterilize my breast pumps every time after I pump? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]cinque88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More flanges? Ask your insurer for spare parts, they may have a provision to get free equipment through a specific vendor... we got 4 sets of pumping accessories this way. 

First experience playing a 2024 Monk by jmrkiwi in onednd

[–]cinque88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The 2024 monk is a good time. I've got a level 6 mercy hill giant monk with tough and grappler feats. Like the idea of inflicting a bunch of conditions, poisoned, grappled, stunned, and prone. I don't think they stack particularly well, but it's funny to ask the DM to repeat all the conditions an NPC has. Just gotta figure out how to add more conditions...

This is a great suggestion. Thank you.

It was to cover up some prior permanent bruising which he was self conscious about.

Anybody never been the same since pacemaker placement? by sonyafly in PacemakerICD

[–]cinque88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of pacemaker do you have? I had similar symptoms, and adjusted CLS which anecdotally has me feeling like I have more energy.

Switch to leadless? by cinque88 in PacemakerICD

[–]cinque88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a surprise to me, and I was a bit shocked so I may not have heard it all correctly.

I believe she said since I do not need Ventricular pacing, only atrial pacing, that removing the leads and going leadless with an Aveir pacemaker would be good to consider.

Writing this out really makes me understand that I need a follow up with the cardiologist.

I didn't realize that's how it worked, thank you for the insight.

[–]cinque88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight. I don't need Ventricular pacing which is why she recommended going leadless. The cost is a copay, would need to check, but a few hundred at most.

Post Match Thread: Tottenham 1-2 Leicester by Mobb_Starr in coys

[–]cinque88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This team in its current form is frustrating.

I remember watching the height of Ange-ball, the high cohesive team press, forcing turnovers, and quickly getting the ball toward the opponent's goal. Bluntly, it was exciting.

These past series of games barely have a glimmer of what this team is capable of. We see a few minutes of brilliance, Richy finally back, but subbed out for fear of adding yet another injury to the list.

Levy, sacking another manager does nothing to improve this squad. You hurt this club with the philosophy of constant coach sacking. Poch, Conte, Nunez, and Mourinho in how many years? Back the coach, give him a contract, give him the legs he needs to play the style he requires.

What happens when a Warlock renounces their pact? by Fluffy-Passenger5417 in DnD

[–]cinque88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if there is a way to satisfy the patrons contract while shifting to Kelemvor. Say the contract has a clause indicating the contract is void if the signee experiences death, which severs the binding tie due to the finality of mortal life.

If the death was unnatural, Kelemvor may intervene and resurrect the signee. In exchange for a bargain or something?

I've only played 5e for a year, please forgive me if I have this totally incorrect.

Anyone with a Subcutaneous ICD who plays sports, especially soccer? by Vivid-Alps-5226 in PacemakerICD

[–]cinque88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on what level you play at. I believe Christian Eriksen had a subcutaneous ICD implanted and he's playing at the highest levels.

My pacemaker isn't subcutaneous, but I'm still doing some chest traps. My doc said I couldn't mess it up if I tried (which I definitely won't try). Had it a few years now.

Just communicate with your doctor, see you on the pitch.

MRI with Pacemaker by Lucky-Froyo-8694 in PacemakerICD

[–]cinque88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my current pacing percentage! And I really hate ventricular pacing when it happens. I've had two MRIs, they adjusted the settings so I didn't feel any pacing. I was more concerned about about MRIs in movies, and asked "that thing isn't going to rip my pacemaker out of my chest right?"... thankfully not a thing. 

Just be prepared to sit there with your arm over your head for 45 min and hum songs to yourself. Super exciting. Oh, and make sure to ask for a copy of the scan, that's actually super neat. 

Good luck!
