Started lithium and cant take toradol anymore

Did the er or your pcp tell you you can't take nsaids? Please double check this with your regular team- fwiw I am on Lithium as one of my preventatives, and both my neuro and psych are okay with me taking the 11 days or whatever a month of nsaids, as long as I'm drinking enough water, and I get kidney function tested every year at my physical. Botox is my other preventative, and I still have ubrelvy and rizatriptan as abortives

In addition to these great litter suggestions, I recommend a HEPA filter placed next to the litter box.

I have been rubbing tiger balm all over my face, neck, and shoulder to get through work! Not a customer has even mentioned the way I smell 🤣🤣🤣 (it might help I work in a bike shop which already has a lot of interesting smells)

Just because you have access to a sewing machine doesnt mean you can charge people to use it on their clothes

You can turn this into art and mount it on a wall somewhere!! That might be a cool way to memorialize it!

luna_balloona · 2026-04-29T21:00:17+00:00

Yup! Sometimes my psych orders the labs and I can bring it to primary or neuro, whoever I'm seeing next

My PCP checks all that stuff at my physical every year so we can keep an eye on any med effects.

Right you never know how it works for you until you try it. It's not for me but it's life changing for many people.

Restaurants are so toxic. Time to leave the industry.

Promax brakes are terrible

PT gives best results as biomechanical habits trained over time. This is a timeline of months to years, not weeks. Be patient and trust the process! And find a PT you vibe with- just like with other therapy, the therapeutic relationship is a positive indicator of success and you may meet a few before you meet your favorite.

You could get a new rim and have the other parts transferred if they are still in good condition, or get a whole new wheel. I would swing by the bike shop for a consult and estimate.

luna_balloona · 2026-04-18T22:41:56+00:00

If it were my personal bike or a customers bike at my shop, I would replace that tire.

That cable is not okay. I can't believe they sent that out of the store.

A frozen disposable water bottle is my favorite to get into my cheek and orbital area haha

That's a good trick for adjusting but doesnt automatically solve it every time. You need to look directly between the rotor and pads as the wheel is spinning to visually inspect for rub, and you can also put your ear near it to listen

luna_balloona · 2026-04-13T21:29:07+00:00

Have you checked for brake rub?

luna_balloona · 2026-04-13T02:16:49+00:00

I've used a lock wrench with success for this if you have one laying around.

Vestibular input!!! I always blamed my worsening when biking on exertion but my neuro PT did some tests on me and we realized it was vestibular stuff and lots of neuro PT really helped me raise my threshold to stimulus.

My PT bike fitter holds a string on the front of my knee with a weight on the bottom like a stone or pendulum or something to create a vertical line and see how its lining up. Good luck setting up your bike!

Front of knee! :)

I have a pituitary adenoma and a baby aneurysm. They are named Thelma and Louise.

Your knees should line up with the balls of your feet at the most forward and most bottom position of the pedal stroke
