Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Is that coming home with you too?

 

No, scrap yard. Electronics went out and we can’t get parts for it. Been dead for a couple years. We got it in 1997

 

You welcome our new Neurologist and Rhumatologist to your scheduled appointments…
There’s a medicine that works for me… forget it’s name at the moment…

 

There it goes, out the old to bring in the new!

 

Watch for a rash. Most patients have the neuropathic pain before a rash in the case of shingles (herpes zoster). You might be feeling the pain before seeing the rash. Just a thought!

 

I’d like the Ryobi tools, but I think driving over may not be worth it!

 

I may or may not still do this..

 

Get a back massage

 

Ropinerole used for restless leg, neuropathy, etc.
Gabapentin is what they use for neuropathy related to pinched nerves, etc. and is “the treatment” for Shingles. Coincidentally I got shingles while on Gab, and asked the doc… what with this rash? I’ve since had the vaccine and so far so good…

 

That's been my area since covid. A few times I'll see 3-4 scrap guys on garbage day.

I pick up what I can, but it's nothing like what I used to get before covid times. Used to be a full truck load, around 800-1,000 pounds. Now if I break 200 pounds, it's a decent load.

 

My one grandma sold off most of her stuff near the end and moved in to a retirement apartment complex for the last 10 years. When she finally passed, we all realized what a great blessing she gave us to not need to deal with a whole property of stuff, or even need to deal with a property.

My grandfather is 92, so he's most likely next. He's insisting on living in his house all the way to the end. We're really not looking forward to having to clean all that up--he keeps it clean and orderly, but something about that generation and hidey holes of stuff...

 

Check the books before you get rid of them.

 

The height of thoughtfulness right there.

Good morning and welcome to the weekend

 

I had that same symptom once, turned into shingles a couple days later.

 

Good rainy Saturday Wrenchmen

 

Good morning guys, have a great Saturday

 

@Fargo Taco , if it is shingles like the others suspect, get it treated sooner rather than later. My PCP slow walked their response to me so I called a Dermatologist I was getting treatment for another thing. He saw me later that day.

I had one line starting by my spine that looped under my arm to my chest. Started off as an itch that turned painful. He confirmed my self diagnosis and put me on an antiviral and prednisone. Knocked it down without spreading further…

Googling pics of shingles is crazy. Can’t imagine being infected to the point some of those people are…

Oh and if it is shingles, I learned there’s a post herpatic syndrome that’s just a delight to get. My case is a low level itch but others I’ve known have pain like it never went away.

Good luck, get the vaccine as soon as you can if you haven’t gotten it yet. (A recent study show it’s protective against dementia..)

Good afternoon friends! Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday
