Crisis!!!

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

EEEk! I do get vertigo sometimes, and you're right, it's not fun at all! The worst is the very-occasional (thank god!) "positional vertigo" -- but I have this weird thing with heights: I can look down, enjoy the scenery, all day long... but look up? I feel like I'm spinning around and around! And for a while, I had this weird thing while sleeping -- if I woke up in the night and the room was completely dark, no light at all, I'd feel like I was falling thru space -- had to start leaving the closet light on, just to be able to orient myself. Getting rid of the waterbed and going to a regular mattress solved that one, but I don't think there's a fix for the "looking-up" vertigo.

That sounds like a problem with your neck bones...scary!! I'm so sorry.

I'm startin' to like you more and more! Is there anything you don't do?

And I don't wanna hear any of that self sufficient woman stuff, all women are self sufficent.

There are plenty of things I won't do. But I like to tinker with stuff and I am driven to stay busy all the time. While retirement is a long ways off, the prospect of not having enough to do is on my mind.

Dani, I have a condition called familial shaking syndrome and understand completely. That, coupled with an extreme caffeine addiction, makes anything requiring fine motor skills interesting at best.

My wife was watching me build coils one night and asked how I did it with such shaky hands. Short answer, I don't know

Now getting them installed on an rda with small wire capture holes is a whole different story

I suffer from SHS (Shaky hand syndrome as I call it) and as a nurse, I really had to concentrate on not being so shaky while inserting IV's, putting in catheters, etc. I had a really good control of it. I've had it since I was a child and I've been to a neurologist and all kinds of different specialists and I can't get a diagnosis. I had a great deal of trauma while growing up and they think it's residual from my childhood trauma, hence, why I could control it while doing delicate tasks. Maybe TMI, but it goes with the story.

I haven't been a nurse in 2+ years and haven't had to concentrate hard on doing delicate tasks. Until this morning.

I just broke out H1N1 in the beautiful glass bottle for a second fill up on my genitank mega (the first fill up was fine, I was a little shaky, but not bad). I was too shaky and I SPILLED the bottle!!! I almost cried. Seriously. I am so, so sad.

The good news is that I got most of it into my tank, enough to get a good second taste and be able to complete my review.

Take care and thanks for listening,
Dani

Well if it makes you feel better, I too have nerve damage that causes my hands to shake, and you should see me building coils LOL you'd think I was having epileptic seizure and tourettes fits at the same time from all the cursing.

Took me 4 hours to solder in my DNA 40 last weekend, got about 6 burns from the soldering gun, finally got it all put together and working, then another hour and about 5 epic Ni200 coil failures later I was up an vaping on a DNA40. luckly I was home alone and nobody but the dogs heard all the cursing and throwing verious things while in a fit of rage.
Think God I had plenty of Wakonda and working mods, I don't think I would have made it, I came very close a few times of just smashing it all, and ordering a Hana DNA40 or a Vapor flask.

I've got a DNA30 board and all the parts to build gdeals DNA BF mod. I haven't got up the nerve to try soldering on it yet as I'm afraid it will turn out something like you described.

Get you a vape stand, with the holes drilled out large enough for bottles. If you cannot find one with larger holes, ask someone you know to drill it out larger. Line your bottles up in those holes. They work very, very well. Here is an example of one:

Amazon.com : VapeDeck Mecha Vape Stand Pine Vapor Stand for Mechanical Mods Kayfun Provari Vamo RBA RDA : Everything Else

And here:

These help keep your stuff organized so when you reach for one item, you don't have them all falling like dominoes.

Yanno, wish someone would offer a NT Approved version LOL room for a Reo or 3, and for the NT sample size bottles...

sound like when i taped four bottles to the end of my sawzall and sent them for a shake. All the friction put holes in the bottles and I actually did lick it off my hands. weird it was kinda yum and yuck at the same time. I could taste all the goodness and also taste the nic.

Everyone has learned to get away from me if I set my mind on doing something tedious, I enjoy tinkering, but get frustrated with physical limitations that can't keep up with a genious mind.

This is where the glass bottles are perfect.

LOL!!! This sounds EXACTLY like me when I was first learning to build and mount coils! Or now, when I'm working on some of this crap and drop ITSY BITSY pieces on the floor! My cat hides when she hears me bellow.

B2L & WeirdWillie,

Thanks for your personal stories. It gives me hope that I won't be spilling precious nicoticket everywhere again. <3 Who woulda thought a shaky hand club could happen in a NuThouse forum?

Take care guys, and thanks again.
Dani

I have essential tremor syndrome. Been shaky my whole life. When I was 19 I was prescribed propranolol by a neurologist. It made a huge difference. Very safe drug with few negative side effects.

I actually take propranolol! Another one with the same problem. I'm SO GLAD I opened up and shared my experiences.

That's why we call it family.

Here you can open up about yourself without judgement and you usually find others who share your experiences.
