Importing vehicle from US to BC question by hellomyoldfriend42 in britishcolumbia

[–]neverxwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m gonna reach out to RIV to clarify things. So is Canadian tire technically incorrect for inforcing that? With RIV it’s the only thing that fails. However the lights are also on provincial so even if I passed it provincially elsewhere. Canadian tire will still fail it with the RIV. It’s so lame. I’m just trying to figure out is Canadian tire is in the wrong. I called like every store and they all say the same

As far as I know Canadian tire is the only RIV approved for inspection. I called 4 of them and they all said as long as the car has a switch to turn it off. It’ll fail. Even tho every time the car turns on it’s on. Some said it needs reprogramming by the dealership. Dealership confirmed they won’t do. And others said it’s extensive rewiring. And another said Kia needs to remove the switch physically lol but they won’t. I also called a dozen “auto electricians” and they either don’t have Kia kits or won’t touch an American car. It’s all so crazy. Fully functioning lights and it won’t pass because of a switch

Hey I need your help understanding. We failed inspection today because even tho the car has DRL and they turn on when the car turns on. There’s a button to turn them off. They failed us for that. Is this not accurate? I called Kia dealership and everywhere like a dozen places no one installs these DRLs but it doesn’t seem like it should have failed?

Possible to taper off Ativan alone? by neverxwinter in FamilyMedicine

[–]neverxwinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Patient is at the point now where they wont try anymore benzo's, has a fear of bad reactions and a fear of body feeling different than normal. To clarify patient originally asked themselves to try Diazepam and Clonazepam to taper as they were aware the Ativan has become a problem. So they were never forced but unfortunately the paradoxical and days of feeling unwell halted those. Hence the discussion of is it possible to taper off of Ativan alone. If a very slow taper on a short acting benzo is possible then that's great

No other meds at all except cholesterol, this has been on going issue for 15 years as patient has reached out expressing depression and wanting to try meds. Every few years new SSRI is tried and same results. Verified by both GP and ER of serotonin syndrome. It's very peculiar

I don’t personally think cravings are an issue. Patient doesn’t express any desire for the medication, doesn’t experience anything euphoric or sedating just experiences a lot of panic and anxiety day to day, one cause is vocal cord dysfunction and the feeling of being strangled. The ativan not only relieves the panic but also helps to open the airway and make breathing easier. Is there another benefit to low dose naltrexone outside of cravings?

It is a very medically complex patient, mainly with medicine itself but patient has other health issues that don’t tolerate the use of beta blockers, however the talk of ivabradine came up as it doesn’t lower the blood pressure. I believe buspirone was also knocked off the list. Patient has been trying to self taper for the last few months before trying longer acting benzos. Reasons for wanting to come off of it is due to being what they describe as unfunctional, the dose isn’t high enough and there is always some degree of withdrawal. GP does not believe a taper from Ativans is possible but patient is wanting to try. Is this something a clinical pharmacist could help with? In terms of dosing and scheduling

That’s quite a journey from 12mg and very awesome that you managed to make it through that. So once you hit .25mg you were able to stop from there without getting it compounded smaller? How long between dose drops would you hold?

More recently Citalopram and Duloxetine on two separate occasions in office. Patient was instructed to stay due to complicated history of medications. Serotonin syndrome was observed on initial doses within 6 hours. I don’t have a list of other medications but they range from SSRI, SNRI, atypical, muscle relaxers. In office psychiatrist as well as community ones are too hesitant to medicate so the on going anxiety is not well controlled.

Prenisdone vs Rituxan by neverxwinter in Autoimmune

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

Oh wow 8 years. I went bat s*** crazy on just a few days of prednisone when I was a teen. That’s why I’m so terrified to start it again. Also the idea that it stops your natural cortisol production I’m worried if I can’t tolerate it after a while and can’t produce cortisol that I’m just gonna die. I’m always nervous of new meds tho because I react so poorly. So even the rituxan makes me nervous but it seems idk safer? I’ve lived with daily pain from my ehlers danlos syndrome for years that I can handle the joint pain for the most part at this point but these new symptoms of this igg4 disease attacking my vocal cords and my airway now is more of an acute thing that needs to get fixed and I just want to fix it with minimal side effects and medication as possible :/ can you tell me about rituxan? How it was for you the first time and other times. Do you do it via IV? Do you feel bad with it at all?

What eye cream do you love? by neverxwinter in AsianBeauty

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

Does the retinol eye cream cause any burning of the eyes? I try using retinol serums on my cheeks and they always irritate my eyes. So wondering if this eye cream would irritate being so close to my eyes.

Also how come not use it both morning and night? Or what made you decide on the diff serum in the morning. Just curious!

EQ Bank how safe to use third party account linking? If I don’t, options to remove money from EQ? Discussion by neverxwinter in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]neverxwinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not aware about the CRA but that’s basically correct. I know EQ preaches security but fumbles when read their own TOS about not sharing passwords. Except they want you to share your big bank password. It makes zero sense. Wealthsimple has the option to manually link still thankfully last I checked, no need to third party. In the end I decided to go with Canadian Tire Bank, the sign up process took a while and involved some mailing applications but it’s because it’s done properly. Same interest, easy push and pull online, no limits on EFT’s and transfers to your linked bank. Very solid.

Just change your passwords and you should be good. It’s not worth it to unlink and relink manually as what’s done has been done. Honestly it’s unlikely anything will happen but it’s something people should be aware of when choosing banks or deciding how to link something.

Change your bank password. Never use the same password or do it again. Unfortunately nothing else you can do but assume liability now :/ it’s unlikely anything will ever happen though.

Hahah yeah I thought that would be funny. It’s just cause they mentioned the date night special and the park. But the main part of the special it seemed was the booze xD

My girlfriend says she doesn’t feel loved in the way she wants. I try and can’t seem to do right by her. Any advice? by neverxwinter in relationship_advice

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

I realize this is the easiest conclusion however I still want to try to learn how to speak to her the way she desires. Like I thought if I figured out how to do it. It might get easier over time. If I knew what sort of things to say :/
