Shouldn't that be "volumes of concepts of a plan? - none of which, mind you, will ever see the light of day!"

Finally took the UniFi LTE Pro used for internet failover offline. The random failovers at 0 bytes are now happening daily. I need to schedule a service call for the internet wiring to my house.

I'm interested in the experience of other cisgender males on #Testosterone replacement therapy regarding regrowth of #bodyhair. How long does it take and how much more do you have? So far, I'm seeing growth on arms, abdomen, chest, hands and legs, but not much on back, buttocks or shoulders. #TRT

I may have to take my LTE network failover offline; at least until I can get to the root cause of repeating failovers for several seconds oftentimes using 0 bytes of data. This could be a service issue, hardware, wiring or even a bad firewall rule. I've just not had the focus to investigate further.

In other news the NP at my PCP's office agreed with me on testing for RA. He added RA labs to my outstanding labs, which I'll probably take care of tomorrow. He also made the rheumatology consult I asked for. I finally feel like some progress is being made. Maybe the 3rd epidural isn't necessary.

First "3-Day" Excellent Sleep score along with a 2 hr 8 min span of REM sleep. Looking back, my REM sleep is usually under 2 hours barring a few instances of 2-plus hours. Deep sleep is variable and hopefully will start to improve now that I've decreased melatonin dose & started naproxen sodium.

Saw this notation on a referral to pain management... "L3-L4 with extensive endplate edema and osteophytic impingement on the canal or foramina". It points to osteoarthritis due to formation of bone spurs, but doesn't rule out rheumatoid arthritis, which can occur concurrently.

My current car lease allows 10K miles per year. I'm only 15 months in with slightly more than 20K miles on the car without any unnecessary driving. This means, I'll either keep the car at the end of the lease in 2027 or have a hefty mileage penalty to pay. It's pay now or pay later with mileage.

Well, well... I'm just 3 pills (660mg) in for the OTC naproxen sodium and my body is starting to feel better. Not 100% better, but better nonetheless. Advil and Tylenol never came anywhere near this level of pain relief. This all underscores my suspicion about RA or another inflammation issue.

For many years my former (now retired) PCP brought up concerns for inflammation markers in my lab work. He never went further, but now I find connections between SED rate & C-Reactive Protein (CRP) that may point to rheumatoid arthritis. I'm waiting on a response from my current PCP on a referral.

I decided to add some naproxen sodium to my pain management regimen today. Also going to ask for a rheumatology consult to rule out RA vs OA.
I'm over this pain already!

Acupuncture last night may have relieved some of my lower leg pain, but it's probably too soon to tell. I still think I have an upper respiratory tract infection, but what do I know. I'm only basing this on symptoms of congestion, postnasal drip and lots of coughing. 🤯

Trump's USDA demanded states “immediately undo” any steps taken to send full November payments to SNAP recipients or there would be financial consequences for their state.
Let that sink in. Vote these fuckers out ASAP.

We're doing some new acupuncture points to help with lower leg fatigue and pain. Therapist suspects the cause could be more venous or edema related and not necessarily all due to my back issues. Today, I'm definitely feeling like a pin cushion.

It's pouring out right now. Waiting for the rumbles of thunder. Of course, I have a 30-minute drive to acupuncture after work.

I don't want to celebrate too soon, but last night I took a lower dose of melatonin (6mg vs 10mg) plus 5-Hydroxytryptophan & vitamin B6, and I feel more rested and less groggy this morning. Definitely feels like I slept more soundly. I also took the dose 90 minutes before bedtime as directed.

This Honeynut Squash Rigatoni recipe from Ron Rofé looks absolutely delicious. I may have to try making it one day. www.instagram.com/reel/DQZbjS1...

This alert is new. The living room AppleTV was blocked by a VLAN to VLAN firewall rule from accessing a local network device (192.168.0.XXX). I'm almost certain one of my firewall rules may be causing the frequent WAN to LTE failover due to packet loss.
Now to figure out which one and fix it. 👀😵💫

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.
In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.
I miss having a REAL President.
