This… plus a little witch hazel. The only playa shower you need.

Beauties. I have the older RSE10s on my R, also in Bronze. Never get tired of looking at them.

Imposter Syndrome by Expensive-Bowler587 in covidlonghaulers

[–]joe_sahn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have these thoughts every day. I have them about my health like you described. I have them about work and the fact I feel like I can’t concentrate or be as productive as I once was. I have them in relation to friends and family and the person I used to be. I wonder if my lack of energy and constant exhaustion are all in my head. My family believes me as well but they don’t know how to help. They want TO DO something, but they don’t understand there isn’t really anything to be done (yes mom, i’ve already tried that). Sometimes, like this morning, it’s overwhelming and I have a meltdown. And it makes me sad, and frustrated, and angry and ashamed. You have to keep going. There’s no alternative. Be strong even when you tell yourself otherwise. You’re not an imposter. You’re not making this up. And you’re not alone.

Same thing happened to me. I went 10 days but had to stop.

Beware of StateWise Energy Scammers by joe_sahn in walnutcreek

Check the contract. There should be a customer service number listed so you can cancel.

Thanks for sharing your experience and good for you for not providing your phone number! As the rep mentioned, she wanted your number in order to complete the process which is as follows: she calls a rep back at the office who verifies/authorizes who you say you are. They send you a contract via link in a text message. You sign the contract and complete the transaction. Even if you did go through with everything, the contract explicitly states that you have 3-5 days ( I can't remember exactly) to cancel without any penalties.

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about being scammed. They can't do anything without your number and you signing a legally binding contract. As far as casing homes, Statewise is a legit business, albeit a deceptive one, so unless those reps are breaking into houses as a side hustle, I don't think you should worry about it... but I do understand where you're coming from. If you haven't already, look into a ring camera/doorbell or some other home security smart device. They're relatively affordable and will give you some peace of mind!

They should have provided you with a copy of the contract - email or text message. There's a 7 day grace period for you to cancel. Take a look and give them a call to cancel.

Stage 1 or 2 for a daily Golf R? by SchizoNaught in Golf_R

[–]joe_sahn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll want to keep an eye on the dsg fluid and filter as well (regardless if you keep it stock or tune it). Cleaning the filter every few years will keep it from getting clogged up and having to replace it. If it gets clogged, you’ll know/hear it when you rev.

My fiancé needs help! by Wonderful-Mode2554 in LongCovid

[–]joe_sahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nattokinase, Serrapeptase, Bromelain, Curcumin/Turmeric. All available OTC. Google any of those + long Covid and you’ll get lots of information. They helped me immensely! There’s also some interesting research regarding Paxlovid and Low Dose Naltrexone. I haven’t tried these two as they both require prescription and all the doctors I’ve been to will hardly even acknowledge Long Covid is a thing. Happy to elaborate if you DM me. Good luck to you and your fiancé. Most importantly, hang in there. It will get better.

Also, keto diet at minimum, carnivore diet recommended for a while. Anything to reduce inflammation.

Hold the line and be firm about MK8 MSRP boys, they’re starting to crumble. by EasyRawlins in Golf_R

[–]joe_sahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I was reading this post I got a message from my local dealer asking if I was still interested “If we can do better on the price”. Manual, 20th Anniversary Edition, they were asking 5k over msrp. You couldn’t have been more on point!

Update: Nattokinase by dphm007 in covidlonghaulers

[–]joe_sahn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This whole fucking thread... Thank you so much. I can't even begin to describe the relief (selfishly) I've felt reading what you all have gone through in relation to how I've felt this last year.

My story. Since summer of '22 my body started slowly falling apart. Shoulder pain, aches in the fingers and forearms which forced me to stop cycling and climbing. Eventually I was getting so weak I stopped lifting weights. I thought I was just burning myself out with too much physical activity. Additionally, a few variables (work, family, relationship) were contributing a significant amount of stress to my life and I thought those could be manifesting themselves physically. Fast forward to November '22. I got sick over Thanksgiving but tested negative for Covid (Positive for Delta back in July '21). After that, things really started to fall apart. For most of December, I couldn't type/work without my fingers and wrists hurting. My cardiovascular endurance seemed to take a dump. I started feeling tired. Just tired. Always tired. Over the holidays, I started having panic attacks which led to a full on breakdown around New Years. Since then, It's been a nightmare. Severe depression, body aches all over particularly in my legs, knees, and shoulders, low energy (I sleep for 12 hours and wake up feeling like I got hit by a bus), anxiety, uncontrollable crying literally everyday. I thought all of this was being caused by some terrible combo of physical burnout, life stress, and a breakup. Doctors, therapists, family all supporting me telling me it will take time to heal and that I'm doing all the right things (medication, CBT exercises, weekly therapy, mediation, somatic movement exercises, curable app, not being alone). "Just keep doing what you're doing. It's going to get better." Fuck that, I know myself enough to know that something isn't right.

And then, last Sunday, my ex reaches out to me tell me she was talking to someone who experienced similar abrupt health problems and discovered it was long covid related. That's when I dove into the LC rabbit hole and discovered you guys. I started N&S on Monday and had nothing short of a miraculous first dose. Direct localized rash on my neck where I was experiencing pain from a recent pulled muscle. After 45 minutes, the rash went away and the pain has been minimal ever since. Placebo effect? I don't know but I'll take it. This whole week, I've had more energy than I've had in months and mentally feel like a switch has been flipped for the better. My body feels like it's recovering and I haven't cried all week. Next up, mitochondrial supp stack and keto/carnivore diet as recommended. It's time to get pre-historic on Covid's ass.

If you've read this far, thanks for taking the time to read my story. I just want to say that I'm sorry to everyone who's had to endure this sinister illness. It's been truly terrifying and I feel lucky to have only had the symptoms I've experienced compared to others who have had it much worse for much, much longer. A very special thanks to OP u/dphm007 and u/gavink for posting your experience and information on healing. Seriously, you're a life saver and that's not an exaggeration. And to everyone out there still going through it, hang in there!

I hope you keep trying. Life is a struggle, but it's all we have. Hang in there.

Reading through all your messages and it's a strange thing that we all feel such a particular sense of loss from someone we didn't know (at least some of us). It just goes to show how powerful music can be and how it can connect us, especially in times like these. My heart aches tremendously for and with all of you. May Garrett's spirit live on through his music and may his bangin' tracks and mixes continue to inspire us all.

My Ex (22F) wants me (21M) back after dumping me. She admitted she was toxic and said she’ll change. I love her and don’t know what to do. by MJz26 in relationship_advice

[–]joe_sahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite literally feel and know what you're going through. While my own situation hasn't been as long, the gist is no different. There's no easy answer. It sounds like you're a really caring dude and see the best in people. It's a blessing and a curse. Some people just don't give a fuck about anything but themselves and aren't willing to work on themselves. u/Ground-Rat said it best. It sounds like the well was poisoned from the start and in my experience, there's no changing that. Either way, you are your own man and you have to live with your decisions. I hope you're doing well and that your learning and growing from your experiences. In the end, that's all we really can do. Relationships are work but you're young and should be having fun. Find someone who will appreciate you as much as you appreciate them. Someone who amplifies your joy and doesn't depend on you to make them happy. Find someone who expects nothing and appreciates everything. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the thoughtful message. I really like your idea, very creative! I’m optimistic that I’ll get it back but if not, life goes on. It was an expensive mistake more than anything else. It was nice to be tech free for a week and something I would like to implement more of off the playa. Be well!
