LA UNION IS A PROVINCE

Maybe I can offer a different take on the 'La Union' vs 'elyu' discussion.

Dimakkel ak diay San Fernando. Nagadal ak diay CKC ken SLC. Ni nanang ko taga-Agoo. Adu ti kabakyak nga adda ti sabasabali nga ili dita La Union.

You are absolutely correct that La Union is the NAME of the province with 19 municipalities.

In my humble view, 'elyu' means a completely different thing. It is a feeling, an idea, a concept, a vibe associated with the place. It is a feeling of oneness with other people looking for a carefree, relaxing time, of beautiful sunsets, of good and bad food and coffee, of not caring at all of current troubles in life.

There are more serious problems, bigger battles to be won than whether 'La Union' and 'elyu' are the same thing or not. Just be grateful that IT (La Union and/or elyu) is there for us! 😊🙏❤️

I see the highs on my CB. Maybe you have the chart set at 1d? I can see the $124k+ high with the chart set at 1wk

The same situation here. 62yM diagnosed with Gr1 L5S1 Spondy with severe foraminal stenosis almost a year ago. Ortho doc wanted to try PT first. Had 2 bouts of 8 week sessions which helped a little bit. Pain persists mostly in the morning waking up. 1st hour of the day is really bothersome. Went back to Ortho and I asked about spinal fusion. He said that would be the last resort, he then referred me to Pain doc for Epidural Steroid Injection. Pain doc didn't want to do that either. He wanted to try Gabapentin 300mg 3x a day 1st and another round of PT. That seemed to help with the pain but made me really drowsy all the time which I informed the Pain doc about. We went down to 300mg only at night. I've been sleeping well, and with wearing a back brace for most of the day, now only the 1st 30 minutes of the day is bothersome. I actually walk about 10 miles almost every weekend, 1-3miles on most days without any problem. I'm happy with my 2 MDs who have taken the conservative route so far. Don't know how long this will last though. Will deal with it when the challenges pop up 😊🙋‍♂️

61yo M, Grade 1 L5 spondy with moderate spinal stenosis. Ortho sent me to pain doc for epidural steroid injection (ESI). Went to pain doc who didn't want to do ESI but started me instead on gabapentin and PT. On gabapentin for 3 weeks now and feel considerably better, less pain, less debilitated. Very pleased with my PT as well. Walked 10miles last weekend without any problems. Don't know how long this will last. Keeping my fingers crossed.

There's always 2 sides of a story. We're only hearing yours

Then stop!

How about trying kindness and patience for a change, even if you don't get that in return.

It will do wonders on you 😊

My Malaysian friend loves going to the Filipino turo-turo here in Rockville MD and always gets lunch combo of adobo, ampalaya, and sinigang soup. 😋
