    So I'm at the hospital with my wife again. She had been seeing this idiot Dr who had told her to basically drive and get a CT on her own time and if she still had kidney stones ( which she OBVIOUSLY did; he was accusing her of lying to get narcotics,) then he would try to refer her to a urologist. JESUS. I SWEAR I could do a better job than that fucking moron by googling people's symptoms and what tests to do for confirmation of diagnoses, and what care plans are appropriate. Seriously. He's an egomaniac with a God complex.

    So I took my wife to see the brilliant internist I've been seeing. He said "why hasn't this other Dr admitted her to the hospital?"
    he immediately admitted her.

    I'm VERY happy that we've found this wonderful clinician. And I know that the hospital is the best place for L right now. It turns out that she's currently got stones in BOTH kidneys as well as an infection.
    The part that pisses me off is that this confirms that my wife has been receiving absurdly shitty treatment and, in fact, has pretty much neglected when it comes to this matter.

    The older I get, the more I realize how crucial it is to find the perfect medical professional for you and your family. It can make all the difference. You really do have to keep looking until you find the right one. I realize that "doctor shopping" is frowned upon, but I say fuck that. You have the right to find the very best medical help that you can get. It certainly isn't like they're all good. Some of them are horrendous. There's a huge range in quality out there. Glad to hear you guys ditched that other guy, and I hope your wife's condition improves. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

    dogs are better than kids, but you should definitely try to quit smoking.

    No, it’s not frowned upon; good doctors encourage it; the system understands it; it’s common.

    our upstairs neighbors (who always seem super friendly and have the most adorable gigantic dog named caboose—he's a bernese mountain dog) were screaming at each other last night. it's the second time it's happened in the last two weeks. both times, it sent me into flashbacks of my abusive ex screaming at me, and made me incredibly depressed.

    when it started last night, i almost immediately put on headphones and set to work trying to replace the motor band in my tape deck, but i couldn't figure out how to get the right part of the mechanism out and gave up, which was really disappointing.

    so then i was scared, depressed, disappointed, and felt like a failure. :/

    Drug epidemic ensnares 25-year-old pill for nerve pain

    WTF is wrong with people. My wife needs this medication to function because of her nerve pain and now there's a possibility of it being restricted? Ugh.

    Can’t read the link, but it’s always a case of a bunch of DUMBASSES using drugs for recreational use RUINING a drug for people who actually need it.

    Yup. And it's not even a good high.
    People tracked in her research describe gabapentin as a "cheap high" that is almost "always available." They report mixing the drug with opioids, marijuana and cocaine to enhance the high, with effects ranging from "increased energy" to a "mellow" numbness.
    The thing is, it's cheap and that's why it's getting popular.
    Ohio, Minnesota, West Virginia and several other states have begun tracking gabapentin through their prescription databases. Ohio took that step after gabapentin became the most dispensed drug in the state. State surveys of drug users also indicated it was "extremely easy to get" with a street price around $1.50 per capsule.

    I take 100mg of gabapentin three times daily and it does almost nothing for my neuropathy but it does make me pee a million times per day. What a rush!

    I would love to stop taking it and use CBD oil and marijuana instead but Indiana sucks. My doctor says I’d be her first patient in line if medicinal marijuana is ever done in this garbage state.

    you'll find that vilifying vice is easy money and also an easy racist way to jail minorities people.twice as many black did time for marijuana possession as did white although the use rate was the same. right now in Washington state they're really trying to push the"driving while stoned myth" why there is no field test for marijuana yet. so s cop can pull you over a basically arrest you for driving while high with no proof needed. why money. if you look at the amount of money pulled in by municipalities for D UI's is staggering not to mention the money for prison system we have in this country the so called "land of the free" you'll tend to find most vice tends to migrate to poorer neighborhoods, why underground economies tend to thrive better in those environments, why the risk reward for financial gain is higher, you don't need a college degree to be a pimp or dealer but can pull in the same cash as a software developer. when you look at the opiod crisis and the narrative that is playing with it the drugs are some how coming from 'Mexico" the only one who has even mentioned anything rational was of course Bernie sanders, who proposed a tax on big pharma to provide treatment to victims as apposed to trumps death penalty for dealers. as for cbd oil it's been shown that hemp can grow pretty much anywhere even places that have been strip mined and could provide a safe financially viable alternative to the dirty deadly coal industry. the supposed family values x-stain Midwest have no problem supporting a president who pays off porn stars for extra marital affairs sounds a lot like prostitution to me? also the pro lifers that have no problem bombing little kids and pregnant women with drone strike or t-shirts with pregnant women in hijabs with the slogan "two for one" if you look at religion throughout history is used as a control tool. next they will move their sights towards the are internet. if you look at what they are doing under the guise of sex trafficking. not that i advocate vice or drug use, but a lot of these things don't have lobbyists like the NRA or big-pharma who spent more than anyone on lobbyists last year so as the saying goes keep your eyes open and stay woke

    Awful drivers who park like dogshit. How hard is it of a task to not take more than one space? Really?

    The ones who park like jerks on purpose so you don't park near them also infuriate me. I have a better car than you and I don't even do it. No one is gonna hit your Mazda bro.

    Craigslist buyers who ask you to negotiate and go down on your price, then ask if you can deliver it to them.

    That's one of the side effects? My wife already had a small bladder and was wondering why it felt like if she drank anything she'd have to go pee almost immediately.

    We're in WA state but she has a very strong aversion to marijuana. One of the 'old people' things where she thinks that it's just there to make you high, nothing more. I can't convince her to even try anything related to it.

    Yes. I pee so much more now than I did before starting on gabapentin 11 years ago.

    As for marijuana, it’s hard to convince people. My now deceased friend also refused to try any marijuana related options to treat his cancer until it was way too late for those options to help.

    Maybe try and see if she will test out CBD oil first? Typically, you don’t get high from it especially if you choose a hemp based one (as opposed to the stronger marijuana based ones).

    I'm considering CBD oil really strongly for my own shit (depression/anxiety/stress, not pain) ^^

    It helps with anxiety as well, so I’ve heard.

    Hmm. The last time I went in to a shop here they're like, "We can't recommend anything for pain" so that wasn't particularly helpful.

    And the anxiety thing could be a Godsend for me since I've been going a little crazy these past few weeks. Can't sleep, no appetite, all over stress of my new job.

    Thanks, I'll check those links out when I get home.



    Crossing this post from the "Cheers you up thread" from two months ago:

    Also I leave my boss and his insanity behind. I mean, when he said he wrote me a reference he said, "And you're lucky I'm writing it now because six months ago I wouldn't have written you one at all."
    Why is it here now? I found out that the place I left is creating a position that is basically a hybrid of the job I have pined for since 2012 plus some other duties that are really exciting to me. On top of all of that, it would be a promotion of about $6,000 over my current position. Why does the universe hate me this much?

    I spoke to my wife about it and she says that she likes having me home more and that she likes coming to see me during lunch and playing ping pong (there's a gym here). I like this too, but I also like career advancement to something that interests me and could sustain me until I retire. I have at the very least 15 more years of this, and opportunities don't open up on some kind of schedule that I could take advantage of later.

    She has a good point though: I'd be working for the same person who was terrible to me before. (Though it got better when he finally came out to everyone. Seriously. He was working through some things I guess and took it out on us?) The thing is, I have heard multiple rumors that he's leaving at the end of the summer. On top of that, both of his assistants really like me so I have a good shot at hitting a lottery here. I think my best course of action is to talk to one of said assistants and find out the deal. It would look really weird, me going back to the same place I left a couple months ago.

    fucking "video gamer" culture. I stupidly joined some groups on FB around games that I really like, and I've never seen such a rampant outpouring of homophobic, juvenile, sex-starved, pathetic, cowardly, unfunny, ignorant, misogynistic, socially awkward (but arrogant), sad (but narcissistic), craven little men prance about and congratulate each other for nothing.

    Gamers, in general, are fucking horrible people, and I feel sad now that I like video games.

    EDIT: Just to be clear, I think video games are nifty... I just think I've hit a realization that most of the people who play them are the worst people on earth.

    Have to agree. There are some great people, but most of them (i've met during various online games) are horrible, pathetic people. I have found more decent people from the chat in some Twitch streams (from streamers how aren't dicks but just decent people wanting to play games with other decent people) so there is some hope...
