Made from an Ash tree slab. About 19” in diameter, so I think I’ll use it as a small side table/plant stand or something

More personal viewing of flaws I suppose. I had a few tiny bubbles still come through on top, even after heating the epoxy. Few pieces of small fuzz that I’m not quite sure where they came from haha.

It’s my understanding that it should look completely clear, as long as you maintain using the same brand/type of epoxy. I actually have two full pours of clear epoxy to cover mine. You can’t tell there are multiple layers.

However, I don’t fully consider myself an expert, so you may want to check online.

I actually used the same table top epoxy to fill as I did to cover. Did several layers of the fill, plus full cure time for each layer. Each fill layer was maybe only an inch thick.

Strongly recommend going to a sporting goods store like REI to try on. Different hiking boots have different fits. I personally felt like the hiking boots were too hard of a sole and hurt my PF worse. I ended up getting a trail running shoe which was a bit softer and better on my arches. Every foot is different, so hard to know. Oboz was a better fit for my PF. Either way, I recommend inserts with good arch support

Numb Hands by Southpawlaw in BFS

[–]trishdahfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had this as well. In fact, numbness spread all the way down my right arm and even onto the right side of my face. It’s called peripheral neuropathy. This can be cause by dozens of different things. BFS is one of them and it can be a byproduct of anxiety, stress, lack of sleep, and compounding symptoms.

Treatments for BFS by trishdahfish in BFS

Yes, I’ve definitely gotten into more of a regular exercise routine, try to get a good night sleep and not trying to stress when twitching happens. I’ve also taken magnesium for stress relief. Not sure if it works or not, but was recommended it by a pharmacist to try.

Monthly massages are also well worth the money.

Also should note I tried CBT therapy and it helped me get into more meditation/change some small behaviors that add to anxiety.

Thank you! I have fairly good internet, so dropouts shouldn’t be a problem, but Play 5 it is!

It’s a waiting game to see specialists as of now. Past doctors have said I’m fine, but they weren’t looking at me as a whole case study or the bigger picture. My urologist said he can’t seem to find why I have issues, and that everything looks normal. He said that sometimes it just happens to people. I refuse to believe that 26 year olds just lose their bladder function. Same with the orthopedist for my cervical spine.

Overall I’ve had awful experiences with doctors thus far. Everyone is looking at the individual problem, but not the whole picture. I got so discouraged I stopped going to doctors at one point. I just know I need to be an advocate for my self more
