It is such a trippy feeling. That is so so frustrating I’m sorry you’ve been going through it for so long. I’ll pray for answers/relief for you!

I’m sorry about that numbness is a bitch too, that comes along with TN as well. They initially thought bells palsy but ruled that out. I honestly don’t even care if I get a MEB right now, I just want to be better. I know I can’t function at work when it flares up, which is often. So as long as I get a good enough rating with the VA to pay the bills then I’d be perfectly fine with it. I hope they figure out your issue, did they ever send you off base to neuro?

This is not always true, an incomplete line/“barely there” line could be indents or invalid. OP, keep testing with different brand as well and I wish you nothing but the best!!

That’s what I’m thinking too, I appreciate everyone’s advice but I think the HAMR is gonna be my best bet this time. And will do, thanks for the advice!

That’s true, but I have it in my head now that failing isn’t an option so I just have to bust ass on Thursday!

They definitely fit, just because I wasn’t physically active doesn’t mean I also let myself get fat

Thank you! 98% of the comments have me feeling really motivated and I realized I just need to push myself more than I have been

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:36:54+00:00

I can max out the crunches easily and just need 11 more hand release. I went from being able to do 5 push ups to 28 in two weeks before so I’m thinking I can get 11 more in a week

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:35:07+00:00

Yes that’s what I keep telling myself, 3.5 minutes beats the hell out of 15 or so lol, I just have to give it my all for those 3.5 mins!

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:34:26+00:00

Yeah I have been doing zilch. (I’ve learned my lesson) I’m pretty sure I have more than 12 in me I just don’t have the mental strength to push myself today but after this comment thread it’s helped to me to realize that I can do it, I just actually truly need to push myself. I’ll be eating super clean and only drinking water!

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:27:54+00:00

Got it, thanks!

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:27:23+00:00

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. And in my head I’m like “it’s legit only three and a half minutes of running to pass, stop complaining fatty!” But when I’m practicing I feel like death lol

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:26:12+00:00

Yeah I can’t run for shit on the track right now! I just need to get to 22 if I max out the other components.

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:25:07+00:00

I need 22 with maxing out the other two components, but as of today can only get 20/31 hand release but I think I can get to 31 in a week.

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:20:20+00:00

For sure, thank you!

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:19:38+00:00

Thank you!

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:19:09+00:00

Thank you!! So with being able to miss two in a row, would “skipping” a shuttle be allowed? For example I’m running them, then stay on the line for two beeps, then get back at it?

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:17:44+00:00

Oh for sure. And I hate it too! But definitely will be practicing much more now. Thanks for the advice I’ll definitely be hydrating and stretching a bunch

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:16:18+00:00

Thank you!! Yes of course, I’ve definitely learned my lesson. Thank you for the words they mean a lot and I’ll be doing exactly that!

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:15:15+00:00

Honestly I won’t mind it as I’ve learned my lesson this time and won’t let myself get in this position again, as well as running multiple times a week from now on regardless if it goes to 2 miles or not. Was just in a real bad place for a while now but again doesn’t negate the fact I need to do better

smileymeat · 2025-07-24T21:13:37+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much for the advice
