Dude, I can't wait until Monday. I have entered the wild and wacky world of telemedicine, dude. It takes my insurance, anyway, although I must say so far it feels a bit like treating Myself although some of my most brilliant outcomes have come in this way. Dude, the whole thing feels creepy though. Eh.

I mean, it's called "plushcare" and like, that grosses me out anyway. Man they super gouge you if like, you don't have insurance, man you have this ugh, ongoing fee and stuff.
Also, l work around disgusting, revolting children. I am gonna have to build up my tolerance. That takes. time. This is m second bronchitis since I started vaping dude. I'm fairly sure I brought it on myself when I did all that dang stress smoking. I mean it was 6-8 cigarettes MAYBE but my lungs can't handle that if I'm sick.
Brought it on myself. I HATE bronchitis/pneumonia.

How come you always get sick first when you catch it? Also how come they give you abx for it? I've decided it's pneumonia anyway bronchitis never mde me feel this bad?
I know there is a pneumonia shot an my docs wanted me to get it forever, but for some reason my insurance co said I was "too young." Dude. I wouldn't care if I ever got it again. I'm gonna have a hard time driving to the pharmacy and whatnot. It's 7 minutes away. LOL. I am officially waiting for this dude now. He has less than a minute left.

Ooooh that was fast and kind of painless. He was like, "I can hear you wheezing over this call, you have pneumonia.." He was pretty nice. I get 10 days of Levaquin (this is cus I am allergic to keflax and like, Clindomyacin) and 5 days of steroids. Whoo. Have I mentioned how much I hate steroids?
But yeah, kinda efficient more efficient than my actual doctor's office probably.. I can go get them in one hour..

Well, dude, that teledoc thing went south rather quickly. When I got there to get my scripts (I was in a super rush too because pharmacies close at like 5 or 6 here, like the hardy folk just SUFFER) and like the pharmacist was having fits about the meds because the antibiotic causes a fatal arrhythmia sometimes between it and lithium. To be somewhat fair to the doctor, like, I sincerely believe I've had that antibiotic before, and it was fine. It was probably some Q--T elongation thing, which elegantly according to my pdoc, "You either get, or you don't get. BUT if you are on more than 2 of them and not dead you will be just fine. Forever." (My doc is an MD/PhD he knows .....) But I was like ARGHHHHH I have 5 minutes until the pharmacy closes and like the doc messed up his numbers on the METHYL-prednisone which like, I have never had before and he wanted me to take 2 tablets twice a day, and they were 8 mg each, and then he wrote 10 tablets. I told the pharmacist he should give me 5 days because I was not leaving with NUTHIN' and yeah, I did some wheezy yelling at the "care coordinators" who were also LYING. Then they figured out my number and were letting it got to VM. So, I star sixty-nined them. It was worth it. I told the woman on the phone I JUST wanted to know what this weird steroid was and could I take it.
So I can. It's STRONGER than prednisone and I have never taken THAT MUCH prednisone in my life, I mean I'm the kinda wuss who says "could I kindly have 5 mg per day when like, 2.5 would be even better.
So now I get TWO 8 mg tablets a day which strikes me as overkill frankly. But, it is also "less likely to make you lose touch with reality at this point."
So like I asked the "rep" if I should call the pharmacy to find out what non-lethal abx I could get and sweetly explained to her that my pharmacy delivers (she said he was "researching currently." I was like, "DUDE he is NOT. From the sounds of him on the phone, he is like out getting DRUNK is what he is doing. My pharmacy opens at 10 AZ time. Just FYI." Anyway, she was like, "Well, that's WONDERFUL they do that." And I was like, "Yeah, it's not free though... She was like, "Oh, we have no such service." And I was like, "Yeah I rather thin this might be sort of an add on service where you pay for it and like, refund my copay because your doctor tried to kill me, thanks to your pharmacist."
Sigh. To be fair I think this is the opiate pharmacy deals where they are all like, "No one can die, no one can DIE, there was a fatal FOOT stabbing etc."
OR Tucson pharmacies sucked and wanted me dead that is also a possibility.
I say I will be ranting at someone in charge tomorrow, Probably not. I have notes to write, for one. Sigh.

I am really uncomfortable taking 3 times the amount of steroid as normal but I must say it (or the Theraflu the lady got me) or both are making me feel less like dying. Not that much less, but less.

Oh no I really hope that you get everything sorted. I personally can't stand the way I feel on steroids I will do virtually anything other than die in order to avoid them. I've never done the teledoctor thing but I think it's an interesting idea maybe not so much now that I hear what went on with yours LOL. I do know that pharmacists tend to catch things that doctors even face-to-face General Practitioners over look. I mean drug interactions is pretty much the reason why you can't just purchase your non-narcotic prescriptions through a vending machine. When I was three years old I got a slight rash from cechlor (antibiotic) and to this day whenever any doctor prescribe me anything that's even remotely related to penicillin it flags it even though I've been taking penicillin related antibiotics whenever I had a bacterial infection for years. I guess better safe than sorry. I sure hope that you get on the mend soon bronchitis pneumonia are nothing to be casual about and teledoctor or not they should have been more cautious so that you would be on your way to being fixed now rather than having to worry about arguing with these people

Hi everyone,
I obtained my very first ProVari it's a 2.5 with a little extender for the battery. I'm a new builder who is completely sold on RTA and RDA forever now I don't think I could go back to standard sub ohm tanks if someone paid me. I know there's a ton of posts about recommendations for rta's but I'm not sure any of them had the exact criteria that I'm looking for. I am a mouth to lung Vapor for the most part but prefer rtas that when opened fully the airflow is restricted lung rather than a tight mouth to lung. I like to have a little bit of choice and I find the airflow options on for example the bottom fill doggystyle to be absolutely beautiful. I would like a recommendation or two of some rta's that will fit nicely on the ProVari 2.5 without a beauty ring it doesn't have to be perfect just nicely functional. I am absolutely cool with clones and probably lean towards FastTech to get the device. I like single coils and am perfectly fine with something that I can put just a simple Kanthal round wire in. I tend to vape acidic juice so I have a preference for either glass or even stainless steel tanks in fact I would love a stainless steel tank that comes with an extra glass that would be like a dream come true. The less overhang the better in fact I would love something that has no overhang. I see a lot of taller thin tanks on ProVaris in pictures and I like that look. I don't care if it's top fill or bottom fill. The hardest aspect to check off though is I'm on a super limited budget I see a lot of products that would probably fit the bill for $30 I don't even want to spend that it would be nice if I can get something for $20 or under. I don't really have a preference for build deck style because I'm still fairly new but I do prefer something that is at least accessible to single coil and works that way and if there's a video about how to build on it that would be even better. I'm also open to rdta is even though I don't have any so I don't know if I actually like them but maybe it's time that I get one. Thank you so much in advance!

The only good thing to ever come out of a petri dish was penicillin, and IIRC that started on BREAD. Nothing but goodness comes out of bread.
Today's scientists have no business fooling around with mice and petri dishes. They cannot be trusted. And for the love of GOD, any scientist who constructs a vape study without tobacco, as a control, should just be taken out and SHOT.
Oooh. The steroids are working. Yay!

Steroids are a Godsend when your chest is all clogged up. It still sucks but the roids give at least a modicum of relief. The sounds that come out of my chest are, let's say, unusual.
Oh God yeah they do help a bunch but really, bipolar and this dose of steroids probably aren't sustainable.
My mom was on high dose steroids for years cuz they could not get her Chrome's under control and she was WACK. I mean, like me and my little sister would have to talk her out of suicide at LENGTH at least twicer a week.
She went on dreamily one time about the "magical steroid day" where like you taper or something and you have this day where you just feel like God. I was like "Um yeah and was it worth it Mom ,really? You think so, eh? Do you think it was fun for me and my sis to talk you off the cliff for like 4 years so you could have the magical day?"
She was like,, "Kind of."
I try to be self-aware, but now the challenge is gonna be... Before the fact, or after the fact? It really needs to be before.
