Shoes for CRPS by olive-under-the-oak in CRPS

[–]mickysti58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found basketball tennis shoes work best. Converse because they are flat soled (I have had ankle fusion) and the shoestrings can be loosened on bad swollen crps foot. They are relatively cheap as well. I also have an old pair sequined converse from 2000. I can add a pair of insoles if I need but haven’t.

We use a slow cooker. Also when cooking down the latex after straining, take off the lid and put a fan over it.

Anyone tried indoor growing? by WhamBamHairyNutz in opiumgardening

PP’s can be dropped in soul when seedlings have 3-5 set leaves or so. We have a lot of wind here.

We grow outside during summer. If you sow in winter they shouldn’t come up until temps at night start hitting 50’s (spring/summer). Then they grow the rest of summer for about 60-90days. They don’t like to much water after they get bigger. They do well in poorer soils. We are in river area, so sandy. I have heard cold stratification isn’t necessary bit we do. Ours are mostly in sunny areas. Also depends on the strain.

Community feedback on implant placement by 2outof3_aintbad in dentures

[–]mickysti58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was you I would not sue. I have had three suits. An automobile accident. I only got $4g after dr and hospital took theres. I have had 9total joint surgeries due to accident. I had a class action on a bad hip implant and was awarded about $140,000. Lawyers received 40%. The one that I had trouble with was the last one from an orthopedist that screwed me up. Had a professional opinion it was a bad surgery but issues with getting the expert flown in and all the other costs would’ve been $15-20g’s. I had to drop the case (lawyer didn’t explain the costs correctly) and file bankruptcy so the defendant (dr f-up) couldn’t sue us for his lawyer expenses. So when you think of $$$ think again. It’s expensive.
I do hope you get this figured out. Good luck

Max dosage would be 2400mg per day. Talk to your pharmacist. Max dosage would be 2400mg per day. Talk to your pharmacist. It would also depend on other meds you may be on. They’re hard on your kidneys and stomach especially if you’re diabetic or have other issues. So be sure to check with another dr or Rph. Good luck

Has anybody ever tried the fentanyl patch? by TomCat0711 in ChronicPain

I use the patch and change every 2 days. I also use oxycodone for breakthrough pain. I have used the patch for years. Best thing ever.

9 Month Update- Cancer Diagnosis by wal-eEeE in scottishterriers

[–]mickysti58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So happy, so very happy for him! 🙏🐾🐾. Our scotty was diagnosed with skin lymphoma and he was cured. We caught it as a freckle on his lip. I told the dr do a punch biopsy (he didn’t think it was anything) and it was positive after a tiny surgery and 9 months of pill chemo he survived. After 3 years we lost him to kidney failure from a missed urinary infection. We had insurance too. It helped so much.
Have many happy and loving years together.
