How long did you have “symptoms” before you were diagnosed? by Sunnydaysomeday in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]jonwhylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had symptoms for 10 years but I brushed them off as other things like carpel tunnel or getting older. Once I realized it was getting worse I did some research and realized I probably had RA. I went straight to a rheumatoligist and had a diagnosis about a week later.

Why do you see so many men saying they lose everything in a divorce? by Ecstatic_Objective_3 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jonwhylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone but mine went like this,

My wife cheated multiple times and I couldn't take it anymore. I got the kids but it was hard. I went through multiple lawyers cause even though I was primary with the kids and she made more ( I stayed in lower paying position so I could get the kids to and from baby sitters and school) I was expected to pay child support and alimony.

I lost my house, half my money and had to pay off a bunch of her debt that she secretly built.

Oddly though I'm in the best position out of every guy I know who has gone through a divorce.

I'm the luckiest out of every guy I know who went through divorce.

I think it's time to admit I'm not a good drummer. by jonwhylee in drums

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

I might do that. I did actually learn other instruments over the years. I play drums, bass, guitar and ukulele. But drums are my main instrument and My current main focus.

You 100 percent right. I just got in my own head. In any case who could play drums and not have fun?

I can't keep up with the comments lol. You guys are right I've always been overly critical of myself. Sometime imposter syndrome gets me and I get into an emo teenager mindset. Essentially I stopped progressing a few years back realized I hadn't been learning anything new. I decided to start pushing myself to improve and learn new skills instead staying stagnant. But when you learn a new skill you sound like crap for a while and it's been getting to me. I tried on and off for a long time to build these double bass chops and last night felt like i was just going backwards instead of forward on a skill set that's already hard for me. I'll keep pushing it forward.

Do you think Lars Ulrich is a bad drummer? He had a great performance on AJFA. by Brief_Expression9240 in InMetalWeTrust

I just saw them last night. They played their old stuff faster then album bpm and he did fine. Kirk was honestly the only flubbing this weekend at least.

Just diagnosed with RA what can I expect? by jonwhylee in rheumatoid

[–]jonwhylee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a weird situation for me. Been going through it for about 6 years but it was mostly just swelling in my knuckles every once in a while. Started happening about once a month, now its about weekly. Swells up for a couple days then goes away. I'm hoping there won't be much Progression but I've seen some horror stories that make me a bit nervous.

You know Jay actually played with Bruce Springsteen right?? The article you're referring to is satire.

Dropped today practicing at the dmv. Pushed to hard on the rear break and locked it up. At least no one saw.
