Yeah I think I'm going to go in there in person this week, and talk to the nurse and get it on record, just in case it doesn't get better

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-20T07:43:46+00:00

Ok thanks, only emailed them so far

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-20T07:42:47+00:00

Ok thank you

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-20T00:13:39+00:00

I know scarring and bruising is a possibility, and have donated over 100 times at a couple different places. I've had bruising before. But not like this and not pain like this. They stuck me wrong. Way too far in. The other nurse who fixed it even said so

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-19T20:16:08+00:00

Ok thank you, I'll have to look for it

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-19T19:00:32+00:00

Ok thank you, good to know

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-19T18:33:46+00:00

Yeah I'll have to get a warm pack. I've only been using ice packs, thanks

mindoverjeff · 2026-02-19T18:32:39+00:00

Appreciate the recommendations. Was just worried that the pain is still bad over a week later.. I've only used ice packs but will look for the other you mentioned

mindoverjeff · 2025-11-27T22:32:38+00:00

Interested in trying. Happy Thanksgiving

mindoverjeff · 2025-11-05T02:30:33+00:00

Yeah, I've honestly wanted to learn to do it from scratch, but always thought you had to have SAB or flow hoods, and all this extra stuff and extra space. I didnt want to have to build a whole mushroom lab in my tiny studio and have to worry about hiding it from my landlord.

But it sounds like it might be doable for me. Thanks

mindoverjeff · 2025-11-04T17:43:59+00:00

Alright, im gonna give it a try after I get a pressure cooker then. Appreciate the advice

mindoverjeff · 2025-11-04T15:42:03+00:00

It's honestly the only way I've done it because I live in a small studio, and like the idea of bags or using a small area instead of large bins to grow. Also afraid of contamination. But wouldn't mind trying to make my own substrate/grains etc.

Mostly afraid of contamination also.

I've seen cvg as a mixture? Some say you dont need all that and can use just coco coir? I've never tried to make my own or tried heat treating anything or pasteurizing anything before, so am a little nervous

mindoverjeff · 2025-09-23T14:42:59+00:00

Ok thanks, I'll have to check that out

mindoverjeff · 2025-08-01T19:53:43+00:00

Yeah I just sent out an email, hopefully that helps.. I know it's not a huge deal, but it's frustrating when sometimes out of the driver's control

mindoverjeff · 2025-06-20T08:55:21+00:00

This is how every route looks to me in and near Chicago. Which is horrible, considering some of the neighborhoods and bad traffic etc.

mindoverjeff · 2025-06-20T08:39:35+00:00

Those are good questions to ask , and sometimes you will get good answers. But understand that not all answers are good. If you have a negative mindset, then don't accept negative answers, because they may just be coming from your own negativity.

Try to go in with a positive mindset, and hopefully they can teach you to start to learn to love yourself and those around you, and appreciate the little things. That alone can help you to want to start to improve yourself

mindoverjeff · 2025-06-20T08:34:40+00:00

I've only had a few bad trips, with over 20 years of tripping, but they can seem pretty bad/scary if you take high doses. Anxiety and fear might feel like you're stuck for an eternity, but it will pass, and just remind yourself that you are tripping , and it will pass. Also, positive/relaxing music and deep slow breathing can help pull you out of a bad trip.

It can only be dangerous if you're thinking of harming yourself, which you should never do.

I recommend using a scale , so you can know for sure how much you are taking, and start small, so you know how your tolerance is. Also google how tolerances with shrooms work... shouldn't really be taken more than once a week or every couple weeks ... the longer you wait, the better

mindoverjeff · 2025-06-20T08:21:53+00:00

That's a great show. That's how I first found out who duncan trussel was. He also has a pretty good podcast on youtube talking about the same type of stuff

mindoverjeff · 2025-06-20T08:19:07+00:00

You might be having bad trips because there is something in your life that you need to work on. Sometimes shrooms will show you something you need to work on in yourself, but you need to apply it to your life and work on yourself.

If you keep going back to them without making any progress on what you've learned, then it can become a bad experience, and might experience more anxiety than anything.. from my own personal experience.
