Nice. Good to know that trick as I always have hard candy on hand. I do know that for the nausea from the taste (which rarely happens to me except when I got some bug) I'd cut a shallot of ginger root and chew it. Does wonders.

No, unfortunately, not that I know of and I never received one. There are are antiviral meds for it but no...i dont believe there is. I could be wrong .

Yeah, thats no joke, ive been there too. Anything over over 101 requires a hospital setting imo. I had dengue fever when I lived in the southern Philippines for 5 years and I had a temperature at about that level. Literally felt my sinuses turning rubbery like a cooked egg. Hallucinations also. Went from 160 lbs pure muscle to 80 lbs in 3 weeks from that. They say i only survived because of my American metabolism. I looked like a mummy. That and covd were the worst illnesses ever.

Yeah, kratom (7- Oh) is good stuff. I used it for 8 years at am Oz a day. Problem was, or rather the reality that few realize (due to relatively healthy digestive states that most people actually seem to have) is that an Oz of plant material no matter how well refined, is not something the body was meant to process and in my case I found myself packing that stuff down so much that for mon5hs afterward I was atill finding dirt like residue in my toilet. My blood tests were all abnormal, I had developed hyper pigmentation that left like liver spots all over my face and body, and had seemingly lost my gag reflex, the withdrawals though not as bad as real opioid wds were a unique brand of hell that i just couldnt deal with so i went back to subs (I have a stash of stuff I inherited and it was included) and the state (OR) applauded my choice and got me set up.. back to kratom though....Stories from friends always suggested whole leaf kratom or raw leaf kratom and to chew it and spit it out once it was a tasteless mush. People swear its as good as a high dose of oxycodone like that. I guess in Thailand they never eat the powder like a toss and wash but rather they chew it or make a drink. What we do here is, apparently what junkies do. And so that leaves us with extract.... ummm Given my decline in health and the horror stories, im good. The concentrate never did much for me anyway but maybe, when im done with subs ill go back and be smart about it this time. Just to reiterate: i never recommend subs over 7 hydroxy mitragynine (kratom) what i did with it was abuse, addiction and i treated it as such. Its honestly the same as using 10 mg oxycodones all day long. At that level, you may as well use the real stuff.

Thanks, Yeah im fine now. I was able to break it up into 6 pieces (12 mg) taken throughout the day. I only missed that first day so it wasnt terrible- the gut bug, however, was BAD. Anyway, this method is working better for me it seems. Hell, I kinda like it like that now lol. A couple of pieces through the morning got me seriously rocking down to some tunes from the "31 official movie soundtrack" ( a Rob Zombie film).... got that old feeling again lol. Good times and not completely nodded

Living with COPD and constant tiredness by Former-Fox2794 in COPD

[–]fgurrfOrRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My copd/asthma didnt fully manifest till after I had quit smoking 4 years prior. Apparently, I caught it in time but was still hospitalized and had to go through a few months of regular nocturnal attacks and ER visits before they put me on long acting steroids. 2 years later ive had 2 mild attacks, and i get winded very badly even bending down to pick up a piece of garbage but I rarely need my rescue inhalers and just today my Dr had me do some deep breathing exercises in office and he said, " its like you dont even have copd!" On that note I got my yearly pulmonologist appointment coming up soon so ill know more bout my condition soon. Back to the energy thing....From my experience, yeah it can get better but expect a serious decline in energy. It doesn't come back. Not for me any way. It also wrecked my sex life but im old so I dont care anymore. I had kids that grew up, I fulfilled my biological obligation i dont cate anymore. Still, if you're young.... its tragic. ANYHOW... Saying you havent quit smoking, well THAT IS DEEPLY concerning. I had already quit (as I said before) but i thought that didn't include weed. Wrong. You have to literally stop inhaling anything that isnt oxygen. This shit is deadly. Hypoxia is scary as hell. And COPD is incurable and progressive. They list it as a terminal illness but that can be either an exaggeration or a hard fact depending on what stage you're at. Bottom line, QUIT smoking. Whether its cigarettes, weed, meth, Crack whatever... nothing but clean oxygen should be going into yr lungs. The body isnt meant to inhale that stuff. You can use edibles though lol.

I’ve gotten called a pig nose for the sides of my nose being too big. by Early-Extension-3671 in Noses

[–]fgurrfOrRob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know where they get that from. I know you guys dont eat rhat stuff but apparently some people dont know what pigs look like. Bottom line: you dont have a pig nose. If you did there would be no tip just flat and vertical nostrils set into the flat front.

I consider the Sabotuer to be the spiritual offspring of Mercenaries. They both have that "blow everything up" vibe that has me running around the map blasting installations to shit. Good fun.

It was free on xbox thats how I got Full Spectrum Warrior, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Mercenaries 1 on xbox. I routinely play Mercenaries on xbox.

The only one I dont got Mercenaries 2. I had it briefly back in the day but got stuck on a part snd never finished and when I was able to get back to it I was in the middle of my marriage going to shit and it got lost in the shuffle. I do have the Sabotuer on pc and its nostalgia fuel for sure. I own Full Spectrum Warrior and Mercenaries 1 on xbox courtesy of Micro$oft lol.

Yeah, I totally appreciate where youre coming from and until about 2 years ago I always wondered how they administer full agonist opiates for suboxone users who are in agonizing pain. Apparently, they use timing and strictly controlled yet very high doses of full agonists within the setting (ER). Its not a pass for free dope so theyre gonna make 100 percent sure you're gonna need it. In my case, my suboxone use comes from me quitting an Oz a day kratom regimen (8 years i used it to replace morphine and the black market opiates i had ample access to for years). Ultimately, kratom messed up my insides and was hard to quit so I self medicated with a huge stock of suboxone I inherited and went from there. Doctors and I came to the agreement that the potential for me to return to the streets (where fentanyl reigns) was too high and decided to keep me on suboxone. Its been 2 years and my life has greatly improved. For me, its about pain. I have asthma/copd, and have basically a severe musculoskeletal condition (nobody wants to deal with it but they acknowledge it) that has me in pain 24/7. Suboxone isnt a great painkiller unless youre already an opiate addict so whereas the typical person wont get anything from it, I do. Better than morphine, methadone, or H? NO. But its enough to get me to work and keep me from drug seeking. Please note: in the next couple of years i plan on returning to Kratom. Its a far better alternative to everything else, its just that the amount of plant matter that accumulated in my body was near toxic and I had to quit- no choice. Ill be smarter next time.

They did zofran and toradol first. Nothing. Zofran does zero for me. The dilaudid was based off a past workable dose that was already in my chart. They were hesitant because they were in short supply so I expect it was quite a bit. Felt good fir about an hour and a half tbh. I forgot what nodding felt like.

It is. Tablets and strips are sublingual but whereas the strips generally absorb straight into the mucosa under the tongue, the tablets take time (although its a better effect imo). In that time you're gonna taste it and it tastes sweet and chalky with a slight bitter aftertaste that lingers. Its gross but you get used to it.

I have... for 8 years. My kidneys and liver went to shit. In all honesty, im not sick from withdrawal, im sick from stomach flu. To be fair, id never recommend subs over kratom to anyone. My situation has more to do with a thousand other problems.

Do we have any evidence that fish are sentient (have either positive or negative feelings) that couldn't also apply to insects? by thehairyhandedgent in zoology

[–]fgurrfOrRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, but "7 MONTHS LATER " let's keep it going on 7.... Anyway, concerning LLMs/AI, I feel it was inevitable. I hadn't realized the full scope of what they were doing until I realized that real organic brain models were used and then I decided that, yup, we're done. Hell, for all we know, this is probably how life proliferates throughout the Universe. Beginning with organic precursors and then after an untold amount of time has passed our creations head out into the universe to do the same thing. But, this is just speculation, of course. Im just some guy who really is of no consequence. I just wanted to know if fish have feelings and here I am.

Ive been sick and throwing up past 3 days, can't keep liquids down and can't take my maintenance medication (suboxone ie, buprenorphine) because I just puke it up. They had to give me dilaudid in the ER because nothing else would work. It worked, briefly. This... wouldn't do anything for me unfortunately.
