It's been a year

[randomdross @randomdross]

Sadly @randomdross passed away on 6/4/24 after suffering from debilitating sciatic nerve pain for 1.5 years. DM if you'd like to attend his memorial service. We will love him forever.

@jasvir It belongs in its natural habitat @jasvir put it back on the road

I just helped a neighbor move her newly acquired Frogger arcade machine across the road. My life is now complete.

(Sorry for the terrible picture - I was too excited to frame this well - plus you know logs and traffic).

@rafaybaloch Thanks, I'll have to give it a try!

[randomdross @randomdross]

Finally found a medication that has been a lifesaver for my nerve pain. Not fantastic but it will do for the time being. Now I just need to wait a month for a MR neurogram. 😑 (PRP + 4 sciatic nerve hydrodissections fixed some things but then nerve pain ramped up.)

[randomdross @randomdross]

@rafaybaloch Not yet, but not optimistic about it given what I've read. Arnica roll-on is somewhat helpful though.

@OncoAI @MartinShkreli Everything after Suzetrigine is a long ways off. CBD3063 sounds promising but it's so far away. Next up after Suzetrigine might be its successor, VX-993.

What have I become

[randomdross @randomdross]

@MattyFatStaxs @MartinShkreli @punnettsqrcap And drug combos are popular for neuropathic pain because people may only tolerate a low dose of some of these meds. It sucks and we need more options.

[randomdross @randomdross]

@MattyFatStaxs @MartinShkreli @punnettsqrcap As I have learned first-hand over the past few months, any given neuropathic pain drug (of the ones that are available today) has like a 1/3 chance of working at best and maybe an even higher chance of intolerable side effects. That is, Suzetrigine's competition here sucks.

[randomdross @randomdross]

@MartinShkreli @EntropicEmber It looks like it'll be approved for acute pain first, then chronic pain like DPN later. But maybe doctors can prescribe it off-label immediately, not sure how that usually works.

@DrKimHarmon Saw your 2014 presentation on proximal hamstring injuries. (https://t.co/R0Bfh3cVOj) Do you happen to know of any surgeons in Seattle operating on this? (endoscopic sciatic neurolysis in particular)

[randomdross @randomdross]

I asked Copilot a totally normal question that broke its brain.

@rhensing @spurpura Randallstown, probably not far from where you're at!

[randomdross @randomdross]

There's a highway (US 50) that runs from Ocean City, Maryland to Sacramento, CA. 🤯

[randomdross @randomdross]

@spurpura Yep, grew up just north of Baltimore. I was in Ocean City many summers as a kid.

[randomdross @randomdross]

@frgx How could it be bad??

[randomdross @randomdross]

Weather forecast says it's going to be 79° and sunny in Seattle on Friday. In the 80s this weekend. 😲
