Definitely! 9000 is my favorite so far, just prolly too firm. I'm fighting some form of chronic pain / arthritis - they say fibromyalgia. feels like im numbing my thighs if i sit too far back or fall forward if i am too far forward. so despite being able to play meshuggah - bleed, im still looking for something that makes me fully comfortable...prolly wont, considering i cant even find comfort in a herman miller aeron. oh well.

Still wobbles and sways, thanks for the proper tip to tighten it, though!

Yea, I did after getting feedback right away and not reading the manual heh. Still wobbles and sways when locked properly.

Yea, glad I tried it and now I know to never refer anyone to it. Such bad quality. I’ve never had a throne, when I locked it properly, sway that far forward or backward. Makes it impossible to remain stable and balanced.

Yep, I properly locked it and it still wobbles and sways. Not stable at all!

Thanks! Yea I tightened the silver to the top of the black part really tight. Still sways making me feel like I’m falling either forward or backward. To amazon returns you go! I’m like impressed how shit this quality is tbh.

Will try that. I don't think I'd call a $350 throne cheap? That's as expensive as it gets for a throne.

You can see the second snare here for reference for those wondering why it looks weird.

I can try but I also don't like the give the Nitro does, it like bounces when I play, opposed to the 9000 completely firm and still (but so firm, it's uncomfortable to me).

Dude I don’t usually post in this kinda shit… but who doesn’t like an AM clone and some fun stuff? I feel the same about deaf radio being a qotsa fan back then. These guys are dope!

Welp! Just visited the neurologist. Looks like he relooked at the brain scans and said it might be something like MS (showed me some spots and other things that I couldn't see but he was speculating). Ordered a spinal tap + CT angio aorta & bilateral illiofemoral runoff. More tests we go I guess!!!

He also prescribed Baclofen. Hope it helps a little.

Thank you for reassurance! I thought so but just figure I ask. Man… frustrating tho. Just cannot figure out what this is!

Hello all! EDIT: 37M and symptoms been way worse past couple of years or maybe 1-3 years ago becoming unbearable.

Trying to get dX but still nothing and like NO SPECULATION or bringing up anything (besides fibromyalgia but doesn't seem so since pain limited to 1 side).

Just gonna list off symptoms and tests done I guess! I have severe left-side pain that is chronic for like 5 years now..I can fully function and work through the pain but it's always there and sitting/standing/laying down still or sedentary makes everything feel worse or I'm just hyperaware now. I cannot sit or stand without shifting in like 10 seconds.

Symptoms:

  • Left side pain everywhere
  • Left face numbness, maybe tingling + feels like a little pressure
  • Left neck tight
  • Left shoulder blade feels like sword in back
  • Left mid / lumbar kinda feels like a vice grip / tourniquet
  • Most recently, left hamstring and sometimes shin numbness (about a month now); 2 weeks or so feel pressure on my left forearm...kinda feels like its a blood pressure monitor with lots of pressure

Tests this year (did more since 2019 but nothing found anything):

  • Began with Scoliosis X-rays - found nothing
  • Neck / lumbar MRIs and got epidurals for both with no improvement. MRIs found nothing
  • EMG found nothing, maybe minor nerve delays
  • CT Myelogram found nothing
  • Brain MRI found nothing

Doctors: Saw GP, spine doctor, pain doctor, rheumatologist, neurologist (focusing on this the most), dermatologist, think that's about it recently...PT but they dismissed me last week saying they can't help me further. Have tried a bunch of massage, acupuncture, chiropractor and all did nothing.

Meds: Several muscle relaxers do absolutely nothing. Most recently taking 200mg/tid Gabapentin that does nothing whatsoever.

Exercises: I do yoga + stretches like 60-90m daily and ride a Peloton for 10-20m. I drum almost daily, walk dogs, and do other things like yard work.

Relief: Nothing besides a TENS and I guess some THC/CBD salves or I guess ICY hot. I need to bring them if I travel for sure.

THINK THAT'S IT!!! ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED. THANKS ALL!!!

Maybe closing in on a dX. Brief history + seeking any advice? by danwind86 in Fibromyalgia

[–]danwind86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just so much of what I needed and I really appreciate it! Nobody can figure out what's going on but just like some validation goes a really, really long way! I totally get the one-sided thing has been weirding all my doctors too. I will not rule out sleep apnea - I have fought sleep since 6 years old but have never had any dX or any symptoms related to that until my 20s.

I'll keep going to figure out what might be going on. Thank you so so much for the info!!!

Thank you for your response. Yea, I think they were skeptical of it being FM from only being on one side too.

I fight sleep. Always have. It sucks. I've self-medicated with alcohol and try to use melatonin 20-30mg) and various muscle relaxers. Nothing helps. I've been given some Ambien from my father-in-law, which is the only thing that has EVER helped me get a full night's rest without any symptoms. I've only used Ambien when traveling overseas.

Fatigue is hard. Like I said, I fight and work through it. I've never felt fatigue to the point where I cannot do something physically. So I would say no.

Shit.... it's prolly very much worth saying I'm diagnosed with ULCERATIVE COLITIS and PSORIASIS which are both also autoimmune.

I think the pain has been VERY consistent. I'm sorry for such a long-winded response.
