:mopper::watchplant: i would say i'm behind schedule...but i don't have one...sooooo...let's see...9 plants prepped for flower,cuts taken,pruned,no clean stakes so it will wait,sprayed...4x4 tray cleaned and sterilized...veg tent well cleaned,seedlings moved in there,found two more females...2x4 tent now has 4 plants in,switched to 12/12...
now to get more clones into cups,finish watering veg and move some plants into the veg tent,then right to the garage grows and right into main flower to water,sweep and mop,move the 4x4 tray back in and get the next round into flower...
phew...

All I can say is f you Unc. I cant do anything because the porkies say so.

But I did have cake today so there is that. Hands might be a little stiff in the morning though because I did have cake. But it was sweet like me. I cant eat any more bitter stuff because you are what you eat. And well I am a pretty bitter pill.

My ra has been flaring up a lot lately so I mentioned it to my dr and she put my on cymbalta and said to keep an eye on my blood pressure because the cymbalta may lower it. I started yesterday and and have had a headache and my BP is saying I’m stage 2 hypertension. What tha fuck, it’s jacking my bp up and lowering my hart rate. I’ve only taken 2 doses and not taking any more. Gonna call the doc and see what next. Guess I’m gonna have to suk it up and deal with the pain until someday I get off blood thinners. I don’t feel like playing guinea pig with pills so fuck it.

There, I told somebody, that’s what they said do lol

Well Joe, I wouldn't call Unc a somebody. That will just go straight to his head. And being that tall he may pass out from altitude sickness.

RA sucks my wife has it. Try to see if you can try plaquenil. My wife takes it for hers. She says it helps with the pain. She says it builds up in your system. So it might take a little bit before it helps.

She said it will also retard the progression of the RA also. Also she said if you are having a flair you should get a Medrol dose pack. She is amazed that your doctor went to a pain medication when she should have given you something to slow the progression and help with the pain.

Taking Methotrexate will work with the Plaquenil and slow the progression. Folic acid will protect your good cells from the Methotrexate. The Methotrexate will attack your cells and the RA cells. The folic acid stops it from attacking the good cells. You only take it once a week.

Cymbalta seems an odd call from your Doc brother. It is not really as much a pain reliever as it is an antidepressant. Although I do believe it can be an effective pain reliever for some and especially with Fibromyalgia.

That said, you will not feel any of the therapeutic benefits (pain relief) from the Cymbalta until you've taken it for at least 6-8 weeks and some of the side effects will fade in that time. Although, be forewarned that if you do take this med for weeks, DO NOT just stop taking it. Wean yourself off that med by reducing the dose slowly.

I’ve only taken 2 doses. Didn’t take it this morning and gonna call my hart doctor about it. That’s what has me worried. I had another mild hart attack a couple of months ago and the cymbalta has my lower bp number between 85 and 92. Before I started the cymbalta it was in the low 60’s to upper 50’s .

I wouldn't be concerned about weaning off only 2 doses of Cymbalta. Ichy's advice per his wife seems like a reasonable option IMHO
