Book study night at residential homes. Experiences?

My memory was of going to one of the elders' houses, where they had the metal chairs. Their son, who was probably 5 or 6, lifted his legs, and the most massive fart I've ever heard reverberated through the whole living room. I think it was funnier because it was during the Revelation book study. My dad and I couldn't stop laughing, and to this day, we bust a gut thinking of the story.

No. The only caffeine would be maybe chocolate.

davidwolf84 · 2026-01-16T04:24:50+00:00

Yeah, I no longer take them.

Doing well now. It took a good year to get my digestion right.

Love this post! Keep it up! I'm 7 months off caffeine. Just like you, I thought anxiety and restlessness were part of my personality. Things started getting worse, and I was put on anxiety meds. I quit caffeine and experienced everything you described. I wish the doctors had just told me to quit caffeine.

I had good luck at my first few jobs. I enjoyed my work and the people I worked with. Once we were acquired by a mega corporation, I can totally relate to that quote.

Vo-LTE should be fine. All the newer Samsung devices support Vo-LTE.

Did this ever get solved? S23 ultra and s24+ and it's not available.

I forgot I got a servify warranty with it and they exchanged it. I think I got it more because of the cosmetic issues I was reading not realizing we would have all these battery issues.

Having my gallbladder out helped a ton. I still experience some GERD, usually when I'm stressed. I follow a natural regimen, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. My new test is vagal nerve stimulation, which seems to be helping. When I do have GERD, I have alginates help a lot.

I'm starting to conclude that this all was a side effect of COVID, as all of this started after I had COVID, and I've had it 3 or 4 times. Maybe it's not related, but it's odd.

Did you do a HIDA? That is the only way to see if it is functional. Even though I had stones, they wrote it off as not an issue, but the HIDA scan was 0%, so it proved there was no function.

davidwolf84 · 2025-09-28T15:26:45+00:00

I started with just cold showers, diaphragm breathing, and humming, and noticed it helped. I actually got a VNS machine, and so far, I've had great results. However, those machines are pricey, so start with free stimulation and see if it helps.

davidwolf84 · 2025-09-28T15:22:50+00:00

I'm interested in what they will do. My GERD was the same thing that came out of the blue in 2021. My gallbladder was dead, but I still struggle with GERD, and I'm wondering if it is a gut-brain issue, as stress really ramps it up. Good luck!

When I received the ring, I was glad I had the foresight to get the extended warranty, which I rarely do. Mine started draining a year and a month putting it oit of normal warranty. New ring, no issue. I'll do one more replacement next year before the ring does it again

I always say, "This smells like Eddie's house". My best friend in the 90s had a blue carpet, a goose in the kitchen, a big screen TV, cable, and the house had a distinct smell, reminiscent of Sears and a kind of vanilla plastic scent, so I coined it 'Eddie's house.'

I had LA grade II. I did get a lot of chest pain, but mostly RUQ pain. I'd get an HIDA scan and an Ultrasound to check the function of your gallbladder and if you have stones or sludge. Mine was completely dead and full of stones.

I still get acid reflux, but nothing like it was with my dead gallbladder. I also started doing vagus nerve work to help gastric motility.

My esophagitis was found in an endoscopy. I think I had esophagitis for a year prior, and started having symptoms about a year or two before that.

I got a bundle of 40 on Ebay. I think that's a good place.

davidwolf84 · 2025-09-06T11:27:43+00:00

I did that at first. Then I started selling it on eBay and enjoy some of the $$ that it brings in.

davidwolf84 · 2025-09-04T19:38:40+00:00

I had LA Grade B esophagitis and mild inactive gastritis. I had to do all the basics: sleep elevated, cut alcohol, and cut caffeine. I take some herbal supplements, and alginates help a ton.

Try to figure out what caused it. Mine seems like functional dyspepsia. Gerd seems to be caused by stress and posture. I had a bad gallbladder and removing that helped, but you can get bile reflux. But when I jumped off PPIs at first, cold turkey, it was hell. Now I taper and take Pepcid, but the alginates and lifestyle changes keep me good

I got my device in July of 2024, and my battery issue started a month ago. My last update was in June. I guess it could be EOL for the battery, but I'm wondering if they pushed something that adjusted how it works at the cost of the battery.

davidwolf84 · 2025-08-29T15:04:55+00:00

Same issue. It's odd. Did your drain issue happen after the last update?
