Funguy

Back in the 90's I flew United, First Class, LA to London. Not a short flight. It left LA at about 4 PM so about 2 hours later it was time to serve a meal, one of several. The woman next to me told the flight attendant she was allergic to cheese and every choice, appetizers to entry was full of cheese. She said she ordered a special meal - Kosher - and it was of course, milk/cheese instead of meat! She asked if she could then just have a meal from Economy and the attendant said they were not allowed to do that! So she had a dessert for dinner, fruit for a snack, and since breakfast was cheese omelets, fruit for breakfast. No accommodation at all! No compassion at all. Last time I flew United.

YES Actually also had a few extremely erotic massages where my arms and legs were in restraints and was blindfolded. They started slowly but GEEZ after about 15 minutes into a 90 min massage all hell broke loose. I hadn't wanted a gag but I sure hope the neighbors weren't home!

Many good wishes!

All my good wishes and luck be with you. We've done the back and forth's and i think both the prednisone and the move will be beneficial.

I have finally broken my desire for In & Out. The one nearest me used to be great but recently they switched to WELL DONE only. Their excuse was that tired old 80's - we don't want to make anybody sick! Now it's back to FatBurger, and if i am feeling healthy, I will get the "impossible burger." It's vegetable protein, tastes EXACTLY like meat, order rare or medium rare and it is red inside and juicy. (Thanks to Lance!)

Why does all of this happen? You guys are thinking with your little head. I've never experienced anything but the best (well, twice but once was simply chemistry, the other time the guy was certifiable but it was before I discovered this Forum. He has many threads.) When I say "the best," I mean it. Never a problem, never but the best vibes, never had to worry that this isn't the guy in the pix or about pay up front.

PK - I vote for "Speaking in Tongues."

My bad - I thought the problem was with coming up with a copy of the ticket. Use business center computer and printer but I guess if they are no longer printing the tickets at all and you can't download to your phone - perhaps SOL!

Go to a major hotel and use their business center.

Heating is a bitch!

No no no no no First you swallow the tape. When it cums out your ass bring it up around your waist, back to your balls, wrap around twice (remember, measure twice, cut once), up to the front and out along the top of your dick. Take that measurement, double, add your height and you have it!

The BEST to you on this day - and all other days, too!! MUAH and a lot of hugs, too

Probably not. It's more for torn ligaments and the like rather than arthritis. BUT, always ask. There are meds besides cortisone that can be injected.

I had L3-4 fusion in 1995 with bone graft instead of titanium, discectomy L4-S1 in 1997; multiple epidural endoscopies to remove my arch-enemy - scar tissue - from 1998 - 2005. Multiple radio frequency denervations at multiple levels from T8 - S1; facet blocks; now waiting to have my brain pithed and I can be put out of misery. Tho, hopefully this last denervation will do the trick! You are right on both counts - squats/dead lifts and elective surgery. I did not do the squats and dead lifts until a year after the initial fusion, stopped after the discectomy for about 6 months. My doc was not in favor of them but my rehab trainer was. I did them but carefully. Of course, now, I go at it weekly and if I don't work out for more than 2 weeks I am in trouble. Hips are also a problem if i don't stretch every day. My pain management specialist won't let me near a surgeon except to have 1 shoulder repaired. I then tore the other rotator cuff but went for the PRP instead and it has been fantastic. I only needed x1 and my doc cautioned me if I didn't rehab it then I'd be back. Back to 98% now! No chance for surgery!

Been there, done it all, got the T-shirt! Even added a few you didn't mention: oxycontin (really messed my head), oral morphine, etc. All under strict supervision. Last real surgical procedures were 1995 & 1997. Many many other procedures - denervations, epidural endoscopies (forget regular epidurals), facet blocks, etc. etc. etc. Rehabbed the hell out of it with a rehab trainer, looked fantastic, still hurt like hell on and off. Turned out I had all sorts of nerve issues. My last ditch effort was 10 days ago to have another radio-frequency denervation (burn the fuckin nerves!) So far so good . . . It's been a whole lot of years since I've had even 1 pain free day.

Excellent!! I lost about 20 lbs recently and @MikeyGMin Is right on. I also found that apples can be your best friend. 1-2 apples plus a small steak or chicken or fish for lunch/dinner is great. Green, red, whatever different kind - eat them all.

Unfortunately, not quite accurate. You can get any dosage of hydrocodone - 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 mg with any dosage of Tylenol from 300 - 325 - 500 mg. Just depends on what the doc orders. Now, you can get hydrocodone with IBUPROFEN (vicoprofen.) The only hangup is cost. I do not know what the various co-pays bring it to but on goodrx.com the cash price for 10 mg with 325 of Tylenol #120 is as cheap as $28 vs with ibuprofen is $166.

Agree 1,000% See above, thread #14, paragraph 2. Your use of the word"unrelenting" is how I describe it to my doctor and he is well-aware of what it means. Sorry your sister is going thru what she has to deal with and cope with a lack of pain meds. Do you live in a 420 accepting state or have access to edibles? They can be very powerful adjuncts to care and the staff never needs to know. Many years ago my 96 year old uncle fell and fractured a vertebra in his back - EXCRUCIATING pain and his doc said take ibuprofen. Mind you he was 96 tho totally otherwise mentally and physically intact. My cousin (his daughter) called me in tears to ask what to do and I immediately got him a bottle of morphine and when that was done, another. I also reamed out his doctor whose response was that he didn't want him to get addicted!!! I practically yanked him thru my phone and said, "What's going to kill him first, being addicted to morphine for excruciating pain or old age?!" I pride myself in listening to the patient; this guy certainly did not!

Got one! Put the top down and off we go! Actually, I have had cars for over 50 years and I still rate my top 3 as: 1968 GTO convertible, 1995 E320 cabriolet - kept it for 17 years until it got totaled, and the 2013 Mini Cooper Roadster. By the way, they are all better than kids! They can start getting expensive but they never talk back! And, all my nieces and nephews LOVE riding shotgun with the top down and they're all adults!

It sure is amazing how so many people react so differently and have different ideas of what should and should not be done with hydrocodone. I see a highly respected pain management specialist and have for about 25 years. I have had several back surgeries for spondylolisthesis (needed a fusion), discectomies, radio-frequency denervations (actually burn to selectively destroy certain nerve fibers,) and on and on. I was on various pain medications in the beginning ranging from non-steroidals to oxycontin, oral morphine, fentanyl patches and finally hydrocodone 10 mg a day (at night) now for 20 years. I have chronically inflamed crossed nerve fibers at 2 levels in the upper part of my back that have not responded to anything else (tho just recently I had a denervation procedure that i am hoping will relieve the excruciating pain I experience at night or when lying down at any time.) I have never been addicted and I can go weeks and weeks without the hydrocodone. But once the back starts up, nothing other than that, sublingual fentanyl (unavailable at this point) or morphine will take care of it. I mention the morphine only because I was hospitalized a few years ago for something totally unrelated and I asked my doc to order the hydrocodone for me at approximately 12 - 1 AM every night if I needed it. If he didn't already have it ordered I would go hours without getting it. So, the first night I asked for the hydrocodone and in comes a syringe of morphine and I was back to sleep in 10 minutes instead of the 45 min to an hour the hydrocodone takes. However, I did tell him that, though it was wonderful, I really didn't need it but, after consultation with my pain management specialist, he disagreed and it was nice for 4 nights. I mention all of this because I have neither become addicted after 20 years nor have I become tolerant, requiring higher and higher doses. I do agree with most of the above noted issues but I am under active care and monitoring by a pain manager. The only medication to adequately control the excruciating chronic pain, other than the morphine or hydrocodone, has been sublingual (under the tongue) fentanyl and, as i said, that is virtually unavailable above-board. And, believe me I have been on just about everything for periods of time to adequately assess results. And yes, it really should only be used for short-term treatment but there are exceptions. I also have a deal with the doc: only HE prescribes the Norco. Not me, no other doctors either. I get 100 tabs and I am back to see him in 90 days. If other pain control is needed for another reason, it goes thru him only. And also, I use self-hypnosis, visualization, meditation, and other sorts of more "organic" aides but, when in excruciating pain, it's very difficult to manage those modalities.

I had the opposite occur. After a very satisfying encounter, I paid my escort, including a tip for which he thanked me. 15 minutes later I get a text that there were 2 $100 bills stuck together and I overpaid him. I thanked him profusely, and since I had really tipped him generously already, asked if I could run a tab and mark this down as credit. We both got a laugh and I had a $100 credit which did not last thru a month!

He was my neighbor when I was growing up. Contrary to his popular persona of Mr. Cheapskate, on Holloween he passed out silver dollars!

You do still need a visa to go from west side of LA into the valley! You get stopped at Mulholland Dr.

I have had many but they just happen after intense and prolonged anal and prostate stimulation. I think if you focus on it then it will become elusive. There was once a masseur (long retired) who could bring it on every time he massaged me but I had to just relax and enjoy what he was doing rather than concentrate specifically on the orgasm.

OF COURSE!!! My hands start growing a lot of hair on the palms.
