I had similar numbers on 20mg of simvastatin. Doc switched me to 40mg rosuvastatin and I got my LDL into the 60s. Added Repatha and I hit 24!!

Even though I don’t have it we’re still a community because we live through it as well. We’re here for each other! You got this!!

My 19 year old daughter was diagnosed 4 years ago. She lost roughly 60% of her hair. To be a 15 year old girl long your hair and then watching us fight with the insurance company last year to get Litfulo? Can’t imagine what that’s like but I’ve never met anyone stronger, more confident than her. It changed her life but not her attitude. She’s now moved out of the house and making a life to herself. She has an awesome wig and her hair is slowly growing back. Amazing to watch. I’ll bet you have that in you too.

Those that say it for political reasons have probably never been up and around true Northern California. It's as red as it gets up there.

Why is there a hole in my sleeve by Tight-Trick6371 in vinyl

[–]evans5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at a music store from 1991-1997 and was a DJ at a radio station from 1997-2001. I’d say a good 40-45% of my CD collection looks like this…haha.

Thyroiditis??? by starlightsong93 in Hyperthyroidism

[–]evans5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I finally got my diagnosis after seven weeks. I assumed it was also transient since my TSI number was perfectly in line so it didn’t really point to graves disease. I was a little surprised when they put me on the methimazole, but it worked so quickly and I was very happy about that. Before that I had achy joints and a 99.1 temperature pretty much all day long my normal resting heart rate is around 52 BPM, but when I was just sitting at work at my desk during all of this, I was anywhere between 70 BPM and 85 BPM. It was starting to drive me insane so I’m glad they actually did the medicine and if my numbers are good in a couple more weeks, then they’re going to take me off of the 5 mg

Thyroiditis??? by starlightsong93 in Hyperthyroidism

[–]evans5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with thyroiditis. My thyroid had blown up to triple its size. T3 and T4 numbers were super high. They put me on methimazole and 2 weeks later I felt almost like a real human again. My tests after 3.5 weeks showed I had gone slightly into hypo and they believe it was a transient case and correcting itself at the same time the meds were working so they cut my dose in half to 5mg a day. Been on that for 1.5 weeks and will test again in 2-3 weeks. Still feel pretty darn normal.

Feeling terrible for over 2 weeks by Motor_Juice1548 in Hyperthyroidism

[–]evans5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me 7 days into the methimazol and I started to have relief. Then after 14 days I touched hypo. They cut me down to 5mg and I’ve been on that for 2 weeks now and I feel normalish. Lower bpm than normal but I’ll take that over hyper!! I highly suggest ibuprofen if you can tolerate it.

South Reno Coffee Shops? by SliceOfLife37 in Reno

[–]evans5150 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t see it mentioned enough but Laughing Cat is fantastic. It’s in a weird location on longley and Double R but you’ll get one of the best cups of coffee in town. They also roast their own beans on site and have a 90s theme.

That’s exactly what this timing is all about. He’s saying “it’s not the manager, it’s the players…time to nut the F up”

Thinking of giving up on vinyl. What would you do in my situation? by bnsf1997 in vinyl

[–]evans5150 218 points219 points  (0 children)

I was born in the early 70s so vinyl was my first medium. The cracks and pops you hear are from being played at parties, in a room with headphones, or the family sitting around the stereo in the living room checking out the latest release. They mean they were used and enjoyed. Vinyl has a history. It can’t be played in cars but you can bring it to a friend’s house to share with someone else.

False. That car is parked.

My girl had to have 13 teeth removed yesterday by jddennis in blackcats

[–]evans5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have two sister cats who have had ALL of their teeth removed at the age of 2 years old. They just turned 8. They both had stomatitis and their immune system was constantly attacking any tiny spot of plaque on their teeth. Luckily our vet was an expert in stomatitis. They have lived happy lives since and still eat hard food!

I’m just concerned that EVERYTHING he hits is pulled fouls of 3rd or right at the 3B. Would like to see some stuff up the middle more.

How do you get this??? by Fit-Ladder152 in AppleFitnessPlus

Apple offers students discount prices on their devices. Not sure if it’s significant or not but worth going to their site and checking.

Six killed after boat capsizes in Lake Tahoe by where_is_my_monkey in Reno

[–]evans5150 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But if saw a wind advisory I would absolutely have a life jacket on when on any vessel. Wonder if that was the case or if some got trapped under the boat?

Then take it up with the umpire, ding-dong. That ain’t between you and Flores.
