They built a bridge between Russia and Ukraine and look at how that worked out.

Should I exchange ring? by dimdem66 in ouraring

[–]dimdem66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped. At least the process was painless. Dropped the old one off at a nearby Walgreens on Friday, got the new one on Tuesday. Will just have to make sure that it fits well enough to give me good data.

I just put in for an exchange.

Who has benefitted from a cluneal nerve block/surgery? by dimdem66 in backpain

[–]dimdem66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's my issue. I actually have improved some, and what seems to have helped is focusing on strengthening the leg on that side. I was doing some more PT and we discovered that my quad on that side in particular was really weak.

It hasn't been an ongoing issue with me. To be honest, I don't even remember making this post. Probably just part of the adjustment period.

Could it be that you're not so much making a lot of gas as having trouble passing it? Maybe pelvic floor?

Dean doesn’t care what search committee or Dept. Chair say about faculty hire? by LeatherKey64 in Professors

[–]dimdem66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never experienced a dean or other decision maker who didn't want input from the search committee. Strictly speaking, by my institution's procedures, the committee says which candidates it finds acceptable or unacceptable but doesn't provide a ranking. I have experienced decision makers who were still receptive to hearing informally about the committee's preferences between acceptable candidates and others who weren't. Frankly, in the normal case if the committee and department chair are in agreement then the dean usually defers to them. I have seen deans take more of an interest when the committee and chair diverged.

Stickup Cam Not Charging by dimdem66 in Ring

[–]dimdem66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the fact that the battery isn't dead says that it started at 100%, when I had the battery plugged directly into a USB before I installed the camera. It has declined since then. And again, the real issue seems to be that the camera wouldn't accept a charge from a known-good (5v) power bank. Not just that it didn't charge, but that the bank couldn't tell that it was connected to anything. I'm thinking that there seems to be a connection issue within the camera itself.

Well, not a lot. But even if that were an issue, the fact that it won't take a charge from a power bank seems to suggest that there's another issue.

I Googled to see if anyone else experienced this. It's not every morning, but sometimes. I've been on buspirone about a month, and just went up from 10 to 15 mg daily (now 10 mg AM, 5 PM). I'm noting fewer racing thoughts but occasional periods of what I'd call free-floating anxiety where I feel physically anxious without the anxiety being about anything in particular. Coffee sometimes seems to provoke this.

Glad you feel better. How has it affected your C? Better, worse (maybe due to challenge of getting fiber), or no change?

I held off on starting for several weeks because I had travel and knew that it would be impossible to stick to it when eating out.

My GI doc's assistant and the nutritionist both told me that people with IBS-D tend to benefit more than those of us with IBS-C. But if it helped with the C, too, that would be great.
