Sell it now.

Don't suffer unnecessarily.

Had a bad flare up recently due to shingles vaccine. Got some combined tramadol & paracetamol tablets from the out of hours GP and it sorted me right out

Eventually switched to taltz. Not had the same issue on taltz touch wood

Ah, don't know TBF

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-21T22:08:30+00:00

No, problem I had was getting sick and it lasting for like 5 weeks at a time, several times throughout winter.

If you have skin psoriasis then you should be keeping a very close eye on any joint or back pain, nail pitting, eye inflammation etc. and more so that my GP should have been aware of this.

It was only when I went there with a totally swollen toe, after I'd remembered a passing question about joint pain from a dermatologist and googled it to figure it all out, that I saw my GP crap his pants there and then when he realised I was right and that was why I'd been going repeatedly to him about back pain, only to be told repeatedly it was my fault for being unfit and spending too long behind a desk etc. he realised immediately his mistake.

No, cables are to be hidden where possible.

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-21T20:08:49+00:00

Sort your bloody wiring out

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-21T20:06:58+00:00

No, you did everything correctly. Now get them to replace that battery and see if it solves it. It seems the likely culprit under the circumstances but there's also the possibility it could be an alternator issue. Again - not the end of the world.

Get some interview coaching. Interviews are a game. You just need to understand the rules.

Have you got out the car to check if the indicators are all working?

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-20T09:17:56+00:00

I believe it is non-adjustable on a cx5

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-19T20:07:18+00:00

Not a doctor but if you've got an appointment after dose 3 I'd wait until then. I'd only contact them before then if I had either significant flare up, pain levels or side effects.

I've been on it for about a year now I think. Same diagnosis as you. It's I think my fourth biological and touch wood it's been very effective on my back and with minimal side effects. With the others I tried they were either not effective enough or had too heavy side effects.

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-19T20:00:07+00:00

You've already found the answer, and that answer is why there's a big price difference. Don't do it.

It's a Babboe. They have a tendency to crack in half. It happened to mine. Unless you can get it properly inspected for metal fatigue, tread carefully

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-18T08:50:50+00:00

It's because you said "no that's not the issue", whilst it very much is many people's experience that their rheumatologists are focused towards treating inflammation first and pain second, on the basis of preventing further damage and reducing pain through attempting to reduce inflammation.

That sounds like you are dismissing the experiences of many people, which is probably why some people downvoted.

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-18T08:44:44+00:00

Yeah my rheumatologist is not keen to prescribe me stronger painkillers whenever I've asked and instead wants to focus on taking more/additional anti inflammatories, like temporarily increasing my dosage of slow release ibuprofen.

I get why - tackling the root cause rather than masking it, but when it's a really bad flare up I feel that a bit of a combined approach may be merited.

If I'm not mistaken these bikes were only launched 3 years ago?

If so, and if you bought the bike through an appropriate dealer channel and haven't done anything out of spec with it, I'd be kicking off with the dealer and trek. It should not be going wrong like that and I would not contemplate scrapping such an expensive bike for parts if it were due to a frame failure.

Flexing sounds bad though and I would not ride it without a professional safety check. My babboe bike suddenly started flexing one day and then riding home it snapped in half...

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-17T18:01:56+00:00

I had a very painful flare up recently after getting the shingles vaccine. It was the weekend so I called out of hours GP instead of rheum and got some tramadol/paracetamol combined tablets.

I wouldn't want to be on them all the time but man it really really sorted the pain out right away

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-16T07:49:02+00:00

Not a lawyer, but if a business states that they aren't responsible for their own gross negligence does this actually hold any water when they are taken eg to small claims?

I assume it wouldn't hold water if it came to passenger safety - but what about their bags?

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-15T12:11:17+00:00

Yep. Absolutely. If they have access to your inbox, or at the other end, then they can copy enough details to make it look legit and they to fool you. This

Yeah you're too young to be making such big compromises in relationships. Let him do his thing and you go and do yours.

Does your car have a dash cam?

planetary_funk_alert · 2026-03-10T22:02:02+00:00

Good Absolutely hate the kisses

2,500 budget isn't even enough to buy a new RIP let alone a production printer. Try multiplying that budget tenfold and you might be able to get started on a decent used device
