  1. Btw, Rat Scabies (great name...formerly of The Damned) who drums on this album, and Billy Shinbone (Flipron fame) teamed up last year as The Sinclairs and released Sparkle. Completely different type of music than what they are noted but a fun listen.

    So don't expect to be able to fly out of the Stadium and get in an Uber right after the game, there tend to be long lines in the 1st post-game wave. 

    I have been very fortunate flying out after 1 pm games. I am a United customer and they have had a long-time 7:30 pm departing flight from Buffalo. I can connect thru to Richmond and home between 11-midnight. By 6 pm, 30 mins from OP to airport via Uber or rental car. Two hours to party after the game which has become much sweeter since winning has been re-established.

  4. Group Sales start May 20 for STHs if people want to sit together.

     

    Thursday, May 20 at 10:00am – Group Ticket Onsale

     

    • Beginning Thursday, May 20, Members interested in group tickets of 12 or more for a game can call our Ticket Office at 1-877-228-4257 to purchase. Celebrate with family, friends or employees at Highmark Stadium and save money with no per seat ticket fees when you purchase a group of 12 or more tickets for a game.

  5. Even though you cannot go for a stadium tour, you can still stop by and check it out and go to the Bills Store at the Stadium. Just look up store days & hours open.

    After that, you can stop at O’Neill’s across the street from the stadium for something to eat & drink. Just imagine this place jam packed after a win with fans going wild and tumbling off the deck.

    I hated the Enlite sensors from Medtronic hence using Libre2, if their latest version of CGM for their loop system is similar I'm looking elsewhere. 

    Medtronic is using the Guardian sensors for the 670 & 770 pumps.

    True but not all insurances cover the Dexcom etc. or are way more expensive. Toss in I have an older pump (Medtronic 530g) that will try upgrade this year but unsure which new pump/CGM I'd qualify for as not called my insurance but think 3 months of CGM for only $60 out of pocket is nice. 

    I like Tandem but the Medtronic 770g is also a nice closed loop system. It now communicates with mobile devices which the 670g did not.

    Get into this century and ask your Endo if you can get something like this...

    Imo, Dexcom is the best CGM. Operates with mobile phones, tracking software, good alert notification. Their next CGM will be developed with Google Health.

  9. I suspect I am in the minority but consider Tesla if they are in your price range. I had an outstanding purchase & delivery experience and have not had as much enjoyment driving a car. If Tesla is out of your budget, maybe another EV? If you can wait a bit, there may be rebate incentives forthcoming for EVs that may place some of them comparable in cost to ICE vehicles. There are very low maintenance expenses for EVs. Also, plenty of free chargers around. The only time I pay for charging/miles is when I am on long trips & using superchargers.

    Try to avoid pills as they could damage other body organs. 

    I am interested in any evidence of this. Would you post the links where this is substantiated? This would be for the sulfonylureas, SGLT2 inhibitors, or other oral medicines for type 2. There are also inhalers for type 2...does your statement also include those?

    It is quite simple. If you have already had the common flu, would your doctor then tell you to get the flu vaccine? 

    It may not be that simple regarding the flu and that analogy may not be comparable. 
    The seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine is designed by the CDC to protect against the three or four influenza viruses that research indicates are most likely to spread and cause illness among people during the upcoming flu season. The viruses selected may be accurate...or not. The C19 vaccines were developed specifically for that virus.

     

    I was neg for any C19 test yet I had a mild side effect (slight fever) after the 2nd shot. But that is somewhat common & understood why that occurs. But my perspective is similar to why I receive the annual flu shot. I would rather be protected (with possible minor side effects) than have the virus where more serious or lengthy consequences may occur.

    My sister in laws doctor straight up told her that he has some concern over her potentially getting the vaccine, given she's had COVID twice and has had lingering effects throughout - including to this day.  

     

    She was likely never going to get it anyway, but this was straight from her doctor when she asked his thoughts on it for her. 

    Was the physician’s opinion that getting C19 again (e.g., 3rd time via another strain) would be preferable to a vaccine? Or was this an educated opinion that having C19 twice (and subsequent antibodies) would most likely protect against another C19 infection?

    I hate this. What about if you have already had the virus, are fully recovered and already have natural immunity and do not want the jab because of the side effects it has on people who already have a lot of antibodies in their system?

    This has been discussed ad naseum here and elsewhere. The antibodies produced by your body due to C19 infection may be short-lived. There is good science behind the recommendation for those previously infected to receive the vaccine. I am unaware of any serious side effects from the mRNA or J&J vaccines and not including the AZ vaccine. Post the evidence you have for any serious side effects. Minor side effects are well known and over within 24-48 hrs.

  14. On vacation in Kauai right now. We both were able to get vaccinated early but not because we met the initial age criteria. But that’s a topic for another thread. Early planning for Europe in the fall but waiting for vaccine passport info.

    In general I do not trust doctors for they are artists not scientists.  With same symptoms and measurements doctors can have different conclusions.

     

     

    I have quite a lot of background and experience in this area. However, your statement makes me reticent to offer anything. It is unfortunate you have had experiences which led to this assessment. There are plenty good physicians but it is the patient’s responsibility to evaluate the doctor & services provided. It appears an endocrinologist would be your best resource. Perhaps consider one at a nearby university hospital. Most likely, they would have encountered a more disparate patient population that would assist in their diagnosis & treatment. Good luck.
