I'm inclined to agree. Maybe I can just drink more water.

Truth!
I’m always watching my potassium intake because I get a lot of leg cramps. It’s related to my diabetes & a statin drug I’m on, so I’m told.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 11-27-2023
'mild signs of diabetic retinopathy'
I guess they were right. I would go blind if I kept doing it...

Time to upgrade to Glaucoma!
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 11-27-2023
But ...
but...
I take so much glaucoma medication already!
RE: I'm more broken than you - Greg - 11-27-2023
Yeah, about that. That's just for the pain. It does nothing to curb the actual glaucoma.
But I figure you are already in a lot of pain....
RE: I'm more broken than you - King Bob - 11-27-2023
DM - interesting about potassium and statins. We saw my nephew on Thursday and he thinks everyone should be on a statin. (He apparently gleaned this from the doctor author of the book "Outlive." I looked at the book in the library and knew immediately that my doctor would never okay all the tests the author recommends so I put it back.)

It's not about the pain at all. It was believed to be about the increased blood flow to the eyes (thus 'red eye') but yeah, it was disproven some time ago.
It can heighten sensitivity in some. DM discovered that the hard way. Once he thought he'd have a relaxing puff prior to a dental appointment. Completely regrettable for so many reasons. Almost traumatically so. In fact, it's a bit triggering to reflect upon that misjudgment.

My left knee made a cute clicking noise during the morning walk. It lasted for a few minutes. I didn't know what I could do to make it stop. My left knee continues to taunt me with it's weird pains.
RE: I'm more broken than you - Drunk Monk - 11-28-2023
I went to Kaiser last week to get some warts frozen off. My doc was quick with the liquid nitrogen and told me to keep up my topical salicylic acid. she recommended Compound W but we had some prescription strength creme. The two on my fingers are like callouses now - hopefully they're slough off soon. I burned the heck out of the one on my neck because I couldn't see what I was doing (it's on the back). That's almost healed up enough now to do another acid treatment.

and a setup tutorial:
Back in the Mac user group heydays, programmers would demo their projects and hacks to the group. "USEFUL!!" was a light-hearted perjorative sometimes yelled out collectively by the audience. I don't work on that stuff, but I must say, it feels really good to work for a company that tries to make a difference to to individuals.

I'm thinking using the waterpik on my just scraped teeth and gums was a poor decision..
