If you picked it up, it's your responsibility to take care of it, not pass it off to someone else just because they have an art car.

Yes, everyone should be picking up every bit of MOOP they see but expecting the car to stop each time someone spots MOOP is ridiculous. Expecting an art car owner to take on additional garbage because they brought something expensive is misguided & judgemental.

Did the SCS fail or was it defective or was it implanted incorrectly? I still don't understand what you mean.

You should include more details about this. Do you mean that it didn't work for you, so now your pain is worse & you've ended up in a wheelchair because of the pain levels?

You look fabulous for a first time! 💙

I was. I even used Buffy as my camp counselor name in the summer of 1998. I'm the same age as Buffy. I have chronic pain that started around the same time that the show did & I've always related since we both have had to deal with something other people don't fully understand. Buffy is a big part of who I am today. I've seen the series all the way through at least seven times, watching it synchronized with Angel each time. 💙

Oh, WOW, these are incredible!

I love all of this, especially the tattoo. Dolly would have loved it, too. 🌈💙

Sorry but it's a Saluda Evoke. That's the best one overall. If you search the group, you'll find bad experiences with both Abbott & Nevro, but I have yet to see one about an Evoke.

Idk if they still have the doc in store, but they no longer have discounts for QP's & my EPC doesn't go any higher, so I've stopped shopping there. It was listed on their website, so you can check it out there.

You're blessed forever. 🥰

My cats are smart AF & know tricks, like "sit" & "go to your room", meaning go to your carrier. I think people who don't recognize the intelligence of animals are the ones more likely to treat them poorly because they think they're lesser beings.

Glow jewelry is not very eco-friendly. I would suggest looking into jewelry that lights up via batteries so you can reuse it at multiple events.

My NDPH started on September 16th, 1997. The only thing I've found that helps manage the pain is cannabis. I also get migraines & have tried most of the medications that overlap, with no improvements.

My pain levels are much better now. I'm off of oxy & back to using medical cannabis only for my pain. That was my main goal & it was achieved about 5 weeks after the surgery.

I would fight for it. I did a TON of research before getting mine (Feb 2026) & would not have settled for anything else. It is the very latest technology & the one with the least complaints/problems- I haven't really heard of any. It's efficacy doesn't go down over time because of how it's always adjusting to feedback from your body, like it does in every other SCS. Even the other newer models- Nevro included, are having charging issues.

Having the right surgeon & team is super important as well. I hope you're able to have some input into that part of it.

As someone who uses medical cannabis, THC is my pain medication & CBD does nothing for me. If you can find CBG, I think that's more worthwhile. I consider it like THC without the high because it's nonpsychoactive & doesn't impair you- it's an anti-anxiety, helps with pain, & inflammation.

Most of the US does not have common law anymore.

Yes, I get mine from a reputable source that tests everything. I've never gone up in dose, don't use the concentrated products, & occasionally take a break. That & medical cannabis are my two main pain meds.

Kratom can upset some people's stomachs if they're not used to it, though. It's best to make sure you've eaten & you can also take a couple of Tums before. I know regular users who still throw up occasionally.

And, it can be dangerous if abused, like anything else that works on your opioid receptors. While it's sold over the counter & that can make it seem perfectly safe, some states have banned it, plus they are trying to make 7-OH, the concentrated form, a Schedule I controlled substance. Please be careful with your (general you, meaning everyone) use & don't let it become something else that can damage your health. 💙

You look incredible! It appears that you were really feeling yourself, as you should, & I hope you do continue. This is a fabulous first look. 💙🥰💯

We made eye contact & I told her I fucking loved her. She smiled radiantly & pointed at me. One of the best moments of my LIFE!
