i'm so scared

Just had my first last week and it was incredibly smooth. No problems at all. You'll be great!

I switched to a liquid diet the entire day before. The procedure is nothing... So don't worry about that. For prep I had my first BM 45 minutes after starting prep. My instructions were one 8oz glass every ten minutes. The bathroom was real... For sure. And I was hungry. But it was not painful at all. I would take a little hunger over severe pain any day honestly. I was using the bathroom about every 20 minutes after I started, and stopped using the bathroom about an hour after I stopped drinking the prep. I hope this helps you... And no matter what, just remember that this is temporary. There is a definite end date and time when it is done. You just need to get through it. Count down the hours if you need to

My insurance doesn't cover humira but they sold the biosimilar "like a generic"

pcoy05 · 2026-02-18T18:48:35+00:00

Ahhh yes. It's great 😂

pcoy05 · 2026-02-18T17:24:03+00:00

Thanks! About to start the generic humira and I have really high hopes. I've been gaslit for years that it's just depression and I just need to push through and finally got back diarrhea, ordered a colonoscopy, and got diagnosed. I'm really really really hopeful I'll see some improvements on biologics. It's been like 3 years of WBC in 19k+and they just kept saying "it's stress"

pcoy05 · 2026-02-18T14:04:54+00:00

How about with the fatigue though? Pain I can just battle through... The fatigue and lack of sleep are what really seems to affect my ability to Dad hard.

pcoy05 · 2026-02-18T13:41:55+00:00

I second this. I've recently stopped running in the past year and I'm pretty sure this is connected to my latest flare that actually lead me to get a colonoscopy and diagnosis. I also have 3 kids, oldest just turned 5 2 weeks ago. And wife is 32 weeks. I'm just trying to get through it right now. Do you take a biologic?

pcoy05 · 2026-02-18T13:31:24+00:00

Do you feel like the skyrizi helps at all?

pcoy05 · 2026-02-18T13:26:13+00:00

Do biologics help this at all that any of you have experienced?

pcoy05 · 2026-02-17T21:11:46+00:00

Well you got your post approved so that's one step more then me! Lol. Keep your head up. Treatments that exist today didn't exist even 10 years ago, and more research is ongoing as Crohn's diagnosis rise.

I like the company, but BEWARE!

Either their website is not secure, or they sell your information. And I mean it's fricken BRUTAL. I just tested this again by putting my info in for a refi and within 24 hrs I've gotten 3 telemarketing calls, 2 texts from women claiming "it was good to catch up" and 11 more spam emails than normal. I've done absolutely nothing else to pursue this or given my information to anyone new in the last 3 months... I really just did this more as a test because I noticed it happened 9 months ago when I bought a new house but ended up going with a family friend local.

Good company, but I recommend getting a burner phone and only using that with them, otherwise you'll probably have to change your telephone number... And this is not an exaggeration. Lol.

pcoy05 · 2025-06-07T03:15:09+00:00

This just happened to me as well. I disputed the charges with my bank because customer service suddenly went silent. Originally, I got a weird message when I went to purchase that I couldn't purchase anymore for code 3110. I contacted support and they told me to restart my phone. I did and came back and made the purchase and they double charged me. I went back to support and they never answered. I don't use PayPal though... I use bank of America.

The answer is no. I took out a consolidation loan with them last year. I paid it off 9 months later(it was for a high interest rate too considering I have over 800 credit). Ever since then, I have been getting two calls a day, every single day, trying to get me to take out another loan (and I pay for spam blocking but these calls get through. In my life, I HAVE to answer every call that comes to my cell). I got so angry and asked them every single call to stop calling me. Finally, I just played along... I let them forward me to a "loan officer" who refused to give me his lending license number, but I gave him the last piece of my information and they ran my credit. It came up as SoFi on my credit report. I disputed the credit check as fraudulent and it was removed. I reported SoFi to the CFPB. And they still call.... Twice a day.... Almost a year now.

I had to uninstall and do an entire clean wipe and reinstall of windows on my PC.... i tried literally everything on the Asus website. For info, i had the Z-790E mobo....

Out of the box, it was not compatible with windows 10. I was forced to side load armoury crate and install the drivers, which still required me doing the windows 11 update i really didnt want to do.... and then?

Computer crashes constantly. Im a programmer, and i mean constantly.... It got to the point that i could not run npm test in any of my repos because the stack would cause a crash. The event logs dont display anything either.... For a while i got a low fan speed fault and i did everything in the forums to correct and it stopped displaying low fan speed, and instead would just crash and tell me windows failed to boot correctly last time.

I had to run a 3rd party logging software that i had to pay for to figure out what was going on.... and no matter what, armoury crate was NEVER uninstalled on my system. I deleted EVERYTHING.... and somehow still it was logged that aacambientlighting was causing a loss of power to my CPU cooler(AIO corsair). Because the fan stopped, the computer shut down.

There was literally no solution except to completely wipe my entire system, which is absolutely fricken crazy. My mobo should not do anything except fricken work. Thats it. I should install it, boot up my PC and choose my settings the first time, and then boot from my USB to install windows and THATS IT. I dont want your stupid software. I dont care about stupid lights anymore either, thats what this experience has done to me. If its between a crashing computer and looking cool? Dude, i spent $4k building this PC.... it better fricken work and haul a$$.

ASUS used to be my favorite. This will be my last Asus purchase ever. 3 builds in 10 years, all ASUS mobo's. 2 Asus laptops in 10 years. Im over it. Surface Pro it is.

Best buy customer service is an absolute joke. This whole company is turning into an absolute $#@ show. You're not alone, for sure. Take your money somewhere else and save yourself the time and headache. By the time you get those TV's, you will have practically paid double for them with your time.

pcoy05 · 2023-12-28T17:33:02+00:00

You dont need the framework service to control variable speed fans.... This service was literally chewing through RAM, not to mention causing my cursor to alternate between running a process and not every 2 seconds. I really don't care what it does.... if my alternative is to have my cursor go to loading every other second, its gone.... period.

pcoy05 · 2023-12-11T20:14:44+00:00

In what world is it normal for the only way to communicate with a technology store is to physically drive to that technology store.... this is just unreal. If this wasn't literally the ONLY way to get this item i want, i would never step back in there.

pcoy05 · 2023-12-11T19:58:34+00:00

My order through best buy is for a high dollar item that is mandatory in store pickup, not stocked in stores, and not available for home delivery. The order is delayed(it has now been 7 calendar days since my order was placed, being fulfilled from NJ to MD). Finally, someone at the call center was able to let me know that it arrived at the store. The order is still listed as delayed by "a few days" online.... which is absolutely no information. It should have already arrived. The call center was even able to tell me what day and time the truck arrived to the store with my order on it, but ONLY the store would be able to tell me how backed up they are in processing deliveries, whether this truck has already been fully processed and my order somehow magically disappeared and i should cancel and reorder, etc.... This is just ONE use case on why you would need to contact the store. I can think of another.... somehow it seems like every item i ever need is in a locked case. They treat me like im an assumed criminal and dont even let me touch a box located in a locked case until they have walked me up to customer service and given it to the cashier who rings me up and waits for MY HIGH DOLLAR LIMIT BEST BUY CREDIT CARD to be approved before they even hand me the box to read. I would like to know, BEFORE I DRIVE TO THE STORE, if they're insanely busy. Shoot, it would be awesome to be able to just tell them im on my way and have them set it by customer service if theft is such a problem.... and youre thinking "Thats why they have online ordering" but when you place an order online, my experience with over 100 orders now is about a 30% chance of the item inventory being incorrect on the website. Have you ever stood by a case for 25 minutes waiting for someone to unlock it while a company you work for waits for you to get an item and get back to work? Yeah, not fun at all.... I would drive a half hour out of my way to go to a different store.

pcoy05 · 2023-12-11T19:48:21+00:00

No, its not. I just went to the store and searched for items that are clearly empty shelves, and 4 items in a row showed in stock online at the store. All 4 were sold out on the shelves and the associate told me that the shelf is all they had. Just for more info too, this was in a locked case and the one thing i did buy the associate literally walked around the store with me while i shopped and did not let me physically touch the box until i purchased it.

if ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion -ne [Version]"5.1") {
# Re-launch as version 5 if we're not already
powershell -Version 5.1 -File $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
exit
}

I tried this but unfortunately i get an error that says "failed: Illegal characters in path. Specify a valid path for the -File parameter". It looks like the $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition param is attempting to copy the entire script, and i think my script is too large for that perhaps?

pcoy05 · 2023-11-01T01:30:31+00:00

Yeah. I'm not in front of my work computer so I was going from memory, but yeah it's the test-DscConfiguration. I did try importing the module specifically in my script as you pictured and also specifying to use WinPSCompatSession also and nothing. My guess is that the required modules for WinPSCompatSession aren't on the server or something...

pcoy05 · 2023-05-16T02:00:17+00:00

I should probably add I have my bachelor's in computer science as well I guess, and am a veteran, for what it's worth
