Huge explosions going off again tonight. I was hoping they used up all their crap but it still goes on. Sick of it.

Usual max dose is 550 mg every 12 hours. That assumes normal kidney function. With the aging population in the USA, impaired kidney function is becoming more common and high dose NSAIDS can make that much worse in a hurry.

By this, you're saying NOT a witch doctor.
Have you ever dealt much with one? When I first showed mild symptoms of disease, I went to one probably four or five times. He never diagnosed me with anything. Just ruled some stuff out and gave me anti-inflammatories.
A preview of the years of frustration to come. SMH.

For RA, usually the best “tell” is severe morning stiffness of knuckle joints that takes a long time to loosen up.
In defense of your witch doctor, autoimmune conditions often are tough to diagnose and/or take a long time to declare themselves.

Doctors are like drivers. Even the mediocre ones think they are good.

No fireworks here.
Got up at 6:30 to beat the heat. Got my kit together. At 7:15 the skies opened up. In July no less.

My kidney function is good(though I'm not in the USA) and I am taking only 250 mg/12 hours. I make a point of taking a day or so off every now and then.

No ride today. I awoke at 4, to get out the door at 5, only to be assaulted by my first a-fib flare-up in ten days. It had been going off every three days, when I was being sedentary. It's passed now, but too warm out to begin a ride. My dr. is on it. I'm blaming Covid; she is holding back judgement until further facts present themselves. The cardiologist I visited chalked it up to age. My RN friend also chalked it up to age, possibly accelerated by Covid. Whatever the cause, it's an inconvenience. Now that I'm past being freaked out by it.

My one experience with them was standing in the garden talking to Dad, and he suddenly looks intently at me and says, "Hold still", and smacks me in the forehead! He did show me the remains of the bug on his palm, so I knew he wasn't just abusing me.

I used to take Ibuprofen a lot more often. Now I limit myself to 2 after a long (i.e. >50 miles) ride.

And then there are the cardiovascular problems. I would love to see a study on the rate of people experiencing arrhythmias these days compared to pre-Pandemic.

It's quarter of 9 in the morning, in JULY, and this is the temperature here. Last week, I rolled out for my Sunday ride at this time to avoid the heat. Today I'm dawdling getting ready so it will be a little warmer when I start. Mrs. GJ is running the heat. IN JULY.
