Methylene Blue…anyone use this?
Nova Scotia Mike replied to Zero Knievel's topic in Diet & health exchange
I have no info on taking Meth Blue (isn’t that what they made in Breaking Bad?) but this is fucking hilarious! I’d say if you are looking to take this stuff and want pharmaceutical grade, perhaps you should talk to your pharmacist. -
"Measles is characterized by a rash that appears on the face and progresses down the body several days after initial symptoms appear — generally between seven to 21 days after exposure. It can be life-threatening, and is more severe in children. The disease spreads through the air when someone coughs, sneezes or talks" Are you concerned about measles? Are you fully vaccinated for it or not? I am of an age that I got one shot for it when I was wee, am looking to get a second shot this month. There has been a confirmed case in my city recently.

I'll have to get some handheld mirrors and special lighting to investigate.- 13 replies

Cervical Radiculopathy - pinched nerve
Nova Scotia Mike replied to Nova Scotia Mike's topic in Diet & health exchange
So I'm a month and a week into this and it has been slow to heal. Pain is minimal now thank god. My right arm is still quite weak and tires very easily. I can lift a gallon of milk with it but I don't trust it yet to go for a bicycle or motorbike ride yet, it's too weak. By the end of the day my neck is still feeling it on the right side and it is tired of holding up my head. Thumb, pointer finger and middle finger on right arm are still mildly numb. Sleeping through most of the night again but do start tossing and turning in the early morning hours are the pinched nerve says "I've had enough of laying down". I noticed mid-morning yesterday that I had some visible yellowing happening on the fingernails of my 3 numb digits. I got a little panic'd about it and did some googling. There does not seem to be any link to cervical rad & yellowing fingers (phew) but there is a rare condition that can cause it Yellow Nail Syndrome . I did a bit more research for about few hours before I realized the cause of my yellowing was this- 13 replies

It doesn't go on your finger

That might explain why today you don't notice yourself when you are walking around wearing a dress and lipstick In all seriousness dropping 10+ waist sizes is kinda nuts. I think I might have some body dysmorphia too. My body weight has fluctuated over the years and sometimes I don't recognize myself in pictures from my skinny times. I'm kinda fat right now but when I look in the mirror I don't really see it; like The Fonz, I wink and shoot a pretend handgun at my reflection. "looking good my man" It's seeing myself in pictures that is the slap in the face of reality.

Shitty man, I feel for anyone that has had to deal with this. Do/did you have decreased neck mobility? Pain? Numbness? What do/did you find helped the most? When I went to PT on Tuesday she gave me a second electro-acupuncture treatment which seems to have helped again, albeit not as much as the first time. She had consulted with others on my behalf (after getting my consent) and said I should keep on resting/icing/heat and if I don't see continued improvements over the next 2 weeks that I should see a chiropractor rather than her as the benefits from chiropractic adjustment would be likely best. She said most likely my nerve inflammation was a result of a herniated disc in my neck. I am still having to only sleep on my back (I'm a side sleeper). For daily meds, I'm down to a single Vimovo before bed but I still wake up from pain ~4am daily and I'm out of bed due to pain before 6am. Takes about 1.5 hours of being upright until the arm/shoulder/neck pain subsides. During that time the pain is intense; I have found myself wincing in pain several times. Then for the rest of the day it just slight pain, a weak right arm and some slight numbness in first few fingers on right hand. Nerve pain/effects are strange. I did vape a micro-dose of weed yesterday afternoon (higher CBD content) and was surprised at how much better it made me feel. I'm really hoping I get this behind me soon. I just picked up a fresh battery for the DRZ and we are starting to get some nice spring weather!- 13 replies

Nope, thankfully not. I actually didn’t take any pills yesterday until a Vimovo at bedtime. Went for a walk in the park with the wife then hit a few breweries up for some suds. Nighttime sucks but during the day there’s minimal pain and really just the weakness in the right arm and a bit of tingling. Next Physio is on Tuesday. Rockmeupto have you had this before too?- 13 replies

Hey hey, Have any of you experienced this? I’m one week in and it’s no fun! Nerve is pinched somewhere near C5 C6 in neck resulting in nerve pain on neck, right shoulder , right upper arm, weakness in right arm and some pins and needles in thumb/first 2 fingers on right hand. The pain is real and pretty intense. I saw an NP last Sunday and she told me to rest and gave me Rx for Vimovo (for pain) for 2 weeks and Flexiril (muscle relaxation) for a week. The muscle relaxer doesn’t seem to much nut the vimovo has me pain free for about 8 hours; it’s twice a day so it’s supposed to get me through 12 hours. I have picked up some Tylenol No 1’s to bridge the gap. Picked up some high CBD reefer but have not tried that yet. Went to physiotherapy yesterday and she did some form of acupuncture with electronic stimulation with a TENs. Seemed a little hokey but I did not need the T1 last night and took my nighttime vimovo later than normal. I’ve been icing and magic bagging too. I’m not sure what triggered this for me. I think it’s a combo of being more sedentary than normal recently and I was doing some spring cleaning last weekend and got rid of an old dishwasher. Once this episode is behind me, I want to do what I can so I never have it happen again!
