Are there truly any free VIN lookup sites?
If not, does anyone at least know one where you can just buy a one time report?
Every single one I’ve come across you’re locked into getting a report for a dollar and if you don’t remember to cancel it in a week, it automatically charges your card. I don’t want one where I have to leave my credit card on file.
Any advice on this would be very appreciated. Thank you.😊

This is an update to my last post about having such terrible constipation on recently starting Mounjaro.
So many of you came to my aid with your stories and tips.I’ve been taking note of all of them in my logbook and so grateful.
But …. TAAAAAAA DAAAAAA🪄MIRALAX FINALLY KICKED IN !!!!
I know this is a bit TMI, but I’m sure there’s people that can understand how happy you are when it finally works after a long miserable time.
I thought this might give everybody a little laugh…. on a serious note. I’m very grateful to all that responded to my post. Each of you took time to help me that means a lot to me and I appreciate each and everyone one of you.💞
Whew!!!😅
Have a wonderful day 🌸
Hello
Taking Mounjaro for a type two diabetes my A1c went through the roof out of nowhere and they suggested I try this. I was hesitant due to previous trouble with Ozempic two years ago where after two shots I ended up in the ER. It took me a year to get my stomach stable. However, after doctors convinced me this was different than Ozempic. I gave it a try.
I lost 8 pounds ( unintentional) and I’m struggling to get my appetite back because I cannot afford to lose weight or not eat
However, the worst is I cannot go to the bathroom. I feel severely constipated It’s been over a week and a half and nothing is working. I’ve had a few suggestions here, but when I ran by my doctor, she said the only thing that would work is the MiraLAX, but it’s not working.
I don’t want to go out and spend a bunch of money on products that aren’t going to help me. I’m not seeking medical advice. I’m just checking with others as to what works for them. I know everyone’s different but something has to change here or I’m going to throw this medicine away and avoid the GLPs like I did before and go back on metformin which I felt I was perfectly fine on.
This constipation is causing stomach troubles and lower back pain. I’m pretty miserable right now. 😔
My father was full-blown type one diabetes and he passed away from complications so we have to stay on top of this
Thank you so much for all your help💞
Doctors tell me to relax. They tell me they see MRIs like this all the time everything is stable over the last two years. I do have things in place that I’m doing to stay active in mobile carefully
I’m dealing with the numbness in my left foot and my right but that varies and it’s very positional
We also don’t know if this is coming from MS that I have I’m still trying to get over my terrifying fear of CES they assure me that that’s not a concern, but I have very little trust and doctors today (that’s a whole different shit show)
They told me my horrible flare from November (L5S1 Herniated Disc) has healed now any only thing they see is that I probably have an occasional angry, pinched nerve although I do have some arthritis
Pain management is on board through my primary care (also keep ORTHO looped in)
Can anyone MRI I’m not looking for actual medical advice, but just give me your broken down Laymans terms the condensed version please. Should I believe my docs? For my own personal knowledge, not going back to my doctors and saying anything I just really want to get a little more clarity on this please
Thank you 🙏🏻💞

IMPRESSION:
This is from March 2026
So……. With this healing process (healed herniated disc but pinched nerve with residual leg numbness that’s positional) it’s become very tough to sleep
I can’t seem to find any position that I’m comfortable on where it doesn’t cause my left leg to go very heavy and numb
It’s hard for me to sleep in the bed or lay flat despite using pillows and such. I found I must sleep in the recliner with a pillow under my knees but it’s random as to how bad the numbness will set in on a night, but the recliner is a better option between that and the bed. However, I hate to not be able sleep in bed with my husband who will then come into the living room and sleeps in the other recliner to be near me 💞. I feel guilty because I don’t want him suffering in a recliner although we have comfy recliners when we have a perfectly great bed. I just worry I’m stuck sleeping in the recliner! Some nights are ok but last night was awful.
I thinks it’s starting to cause me more stiffness and pain. I also have MS so between that and my back it’s overwhelming.
I can stand on my tippy toes and walk on my heels so doctors say no nerve damage but I can’t keep going like this.
Also, doctors cannot agree or say 100% if this is coming from MS or continuing to come for my back. How do you sleep?
Any thoughts or advice?? Thank you 😊
Hello
I have been prescribed Ampyra.
I sort of wish they would’ve waited until we discussed it a bit more but it’s already been filled at the pharmacy and since we get our medication‘s on Base, we have to pick them up. We can’t say that we don’t want them like you can at civilian pharmacies where are they returned to stock provided they haven’t handed it to you
My question is has anyone here having success with this drug if I’m reading right there’s only about a 30 success rate with people using this with MS?
I also saw the side effects of balance issues and dizziness, but isn’t that the whole idea of taking this medication? Is it to help you with your balance and walking?
I also think I have medication that contradict using this together which of course doctors today don’t pay attention to
I would be grateful for anyone’s input on this medicine and whether they’ve had success or not I feel terrible that this was called and without my saying, OK, I’ll try it because it’s a waste of medication if I choose not to go through with it 🙄
I’m already navigating a new medication they put me on for diabetes. That’s been difficult, but I’m trying to stick it out.
Thank you again I appreciate all of your help
Please pray for our dear friend who is dying and preparing to go home to Jesus. He is suffering horribly even with pain medicine and his sweet wife is taking care of him 24/7. She has health issues as well
We pray our lord has mercy and will take him home soon and end his suffering on earth. It’s so unfair to watch someone you love and care for die such a long suffering way
Please Jesus. We beg you for mercy for AMK. Wrap your arms around him
And take him home. IJNWPA 🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
This is one thing I haven’t had to deal with very much until recently. I believe im suffering from Spasticity. My legs are so heavy and weak. They feel like I’m walking through quicksand. They even bother me in my sleep. I see my nurse practitioner in a couple weeks. She’s the one that’s helping me deal with MS right now after I had to discharge my “ EXPERT MS Neuro” that was anything, but all talk no substance! I just got way too exhausted dealing with her
Thankfully, I have a nurse practitioner who’s actually pretty experienced with MS. I’m sticking with her right now. I don’t have the energy to look for another neurologist than most of them are way far away from where I live. I’m done dealing with them.
I’ve tried baclofen before, but I just can’t afford to take something that’s going to make me even more fatigued than I already am. My husband and I go for a walk every evening weather permitting, but my lights have just been awful lately. I do have some heavy duty liquid pain medicine because I do go through so much pain deep in my bones, but I’m careful to take that and again I’m just trying to find something I can do to help this issue without feeling more exhausted than I already am.
Recent MRIs are completely stable (brain/Cspine/Orbits/thoracic)🙏🏻
All lab work was excellent and my nurse practitioner does extensive lab work every three months
I did just get over having a horrible tooth abscess but I don’t think that has anything to do with these legs but that abscess beat me up pretty good
I’m not even sure if this is what’s causing my legs to feel so bad but I wonder if some of you could share what this feels like when you have it and what has worked for you. I know everyone’s different but I’m just trying to get an idea if this is what it really is I have the hardest time trying to explain symptoms. I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain, but I have the worst time trying to explain them.
i’ve been dealing with this monster MS for many years now it has exhausted every fiber of my pain, but I keep moving forward and I keep trying every day but lately I’ve had a couple of mini meltdowns. Thankfully, I have a phenomenal husband who is extremely supportive and helps me through that right now I’m just searching for relief for my legs. When I walk, I feel like a stick person that walks with these straight legs that don’t want to move. If I’m standing up for a little bit longer than I can, I find that I start doing this tiny swaying back-and-forth to help alleviate what I’m feeling.
Thank you I’m very grateful for your help
🧡💐
So….. I haven’t been sleeping well for several days even though I’ve been hit crushing fatigue plus *a spell of INO *in my left eye and dealing with a abscess tooth until I can get to the dentist next week ( on antibiotics/pain med)
Then, for some reason, I fell asleep in the middle of the night and slept all the way till 1 o’clock this afternoon, waking up only for a little while where i used the bathroom, my husband made me a little something to eat and within an hour later, I fell back asleep until around 8 o’clock tonight* *
However, I didn’t get in my several mini walks or my recumbent bike and boy am I paying the price for it my legs feel wobbly*,* numb and just plain awful* *
It was evident how badly I needed to sleep my husband just let me sleep right where I fell asleep in the recliner with a blanket that he put on me and just made sure I had whatever I needed complete with a kiss on the forehead*. barely remember it because I was in such a sleep.He is the sweetest hubby* 💞
But now I’m paying the price for catching up on sleep by feeling like garbage.* *I took a shower which lasted all a minute and a half * *Trying to walk around the house and do some soft exercise, but nothing is helping
This stupid damn disease*!!!!* would it be too much to ask MS for a damn F”ing break once in a while*!!!!!* 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭*. JUST ONE F’ING BREAK!*
So…….after the awful flair in the fall with sciatica and horrible pain. they told me my L5S1 healed on it’s own but still have an angry pissed off nerve that’s pinched with inflammation I know…. this causes that residual food numbness
but yesterday and today a few episodes that feel like this “stinging” pain in lower back but just as quickly as it comes it goes away.
I also have MS so I’m not sure if that’s nerve pain but it’s just really distinctive stinging pain. Has anyone ever felt anything like that? Is this something I have to deal with now I’m just so sick and tired of this lumber issue. ugh 😭😔
Hello. We’re having very rainy week coupled with the heat. I’ve been inside a lot but when they break in the rain, I go outside and walk around
However, this weather always empties me out. Anyone else with monster MS have a tough time with rainy weather? Any advice on getting through it
Today was the worst. I basically slept off and on but the fatigue has been so bad today I feel like I can barely move sitting in the recliner. I got up for a while, sitting down, talking with my husband and it’s like I can barely keep my eyes open Ugh. 😑
Please Jesus. Heal my broken heart that is in a million pieces 💔😭🙏🏻
Jesus knows the need.
We thank you for your prayers 🙏🏻💓🙏🏻
If the last couple you know about all the I’ve been having with my so-called five star rated top-tier expert MS Neurologist as she’s known by 🙄
Five days after a visit to the emergency room where they wanted me to definitely follow up with her within 24 hours and they had actually written the notes in such a way that were perfect for me to take right to her… she once again didn’t respond. Her “NURSE” aka CMA. (and please before anyone goes ballistic. I have total respect for CMA‘s and CNA‘s. I worked with many as ER RN-BSN in my nursing career) it’s just a pet peeve. sorry they throw “NURSE” around so applies to even the person that schedules appointments.
She supposedly marked my message urgent to go to my neurologist post the ER visit for the episode of INO with my left eye. The ER definitely wanted my neurologist to follow up with me, but just like everything else I fall through the cracks with her. I guess I’m not a whiny complaining enough patient I just always consider myself a really nice patient and I only reach out to her when it’s absolutely necessary.
However, her lack of communication, and then when she does communicate, she forgets everything that I wrote to her about, reached out to her about by asking me the same questions that I asked her in my messages UGH DELAYING THINGS EVEN FURTHER
When we do have a visit her visit notes(that I have to share with my other providers )never correlate to what the visit was about. It’s as if she’s talking about someone else. I have pointed that out, but they’re never corrected.
The last two virtual visits we’ve had she was 45 minutes to an hour late and then because of her lateness, she rushes through my appointment because she has someone else waiting for her. I was sent at least five reminders that if I was 10 minutes late to my virtual appointment with her, it would have to be rescheduled.
So then she’s half listening when I’m trying to explain things to her because she’s already thinking about her next appointment. she never has anything to contribute other than keeping me on the same merry-go-round. she’s constantly typing and looking at her computer when we have this appointment. I’m almost certain she’s typing notes for someone else because she messes them up every single time.
The other thing is every time she orders MRIs from me or any diagnostic testing for some reason there’s an issue with her getting the images and report reports so they come to me and have me tracking everything down and getting it sent to her whenever that should be the job of her “NURSE”. constantly to do this so I’m sitting there wasting time during the day and energy. I don’t have rounding these things up when they can easily make the call to get it. I’ve even had to scan my copies of the reports and send them through the portal I’m sorry, but that’s ridiculous. I did it one time and thought OK maybe that was a reoccurring theme why am I doing their job???? I mean is that something I shouldn’t be complaining about? I never complained to them, but I’m sitting here trying to get this done. My husband gets really upset because he feels like they’re already lazy as it is, but I’m doing it because I want her to get the damn results so I can find out what’s going on so I jumped through fire hoops to get this crap to her because she wants it right away then I’m left to wait for two weeks before she can interpret the images and get back to me. By then I’ve already had my other providers. Help me with everything because she’s just useless. I got sick of just waiting and waiting after I had to jump through fire hoops to accommodate her.
I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt I know she’s extremely busy. She has a huge patient load because the hospital she works for is all about profit and jamming and as many patients on the schedule as possible, but that’s their problem not mine. it’s also her problem not that of her patients
Mind you this is the so-called expert. I waited nearly 2 years to get into for an appointment. I met with twice (water of time) and the rest of our visits have been virtual visits. She has asked me to come see her in person again but I’m not going to because the last two times I went to her where she made such a big deal that I be there in person to examine me ….her CMA wasted a ton of time conducting these little written tests on me that weren’t even for me!!! they were for another patient. Then she swoops in to for five minutes contributes zero does not do any sort of physical exam (i’ve even asked her. Would you like to see how I walk would you like to test reflexes but she blows past that) does not really ask me much of anything before she zips out of the room and I’m hustled to the front desk to pay my co-pay and reschedule for another appointment. We have to drive nearly 2 hours to her office.
So after all that, I told her that I’m opting for the virtual visit, there’s no point in me going in person. Those visits haven’t been any better.
Her responses to portal messages I send are so irritating. It makes me want to throw my phone. She literally repeats exactly what I just wrote her in a message. It’s hard to explain.
All of my other specialists, such as my endocrinologist, my nurse practitioner for medicine/ internal medicine, ortho and my cardiologist are equally frustrated with her.
Plus, she’s always referring me to somewhere else that has nothing to do with why I’m seeing her and her biggest thing is go to the ER the ER can’t do much for someone with MS unless the condition is urgent like I did with my eye. the ER did a CT and dI’d everything they could be of course they focused on the acute sinusitis infection on the left side of my face that came up on the CTV that I never even knew I had. They ran labs and put me on antibiotics. and they reached out to her to make sure that I was able to follow up within 24 hours, although they never got her they left a message with her “NURSE” so I followed up as well with the very next day and it’s now been going on five days plus, I haven’t heard squat from her.
That right there tells you all you need to know. I have an appointment set up with my ophthalmologist. They fit me in for an urgent appointment given I had this incident and landed in the ER and he’s a doctor that is already booked out until next year but at least they are trying to help me.
But after two years of dealing with this neurologist, I’m finished My nurse practitioner is going to help me the best she can and she’s really good, but I’m not searching for a new neurologist. Any other neurologist is going to be even farther away than she is. I can’t be driving all over the place nor will I have my sweet husband doing it.
All those reviews I read and all that garbage absolutely nothing. I think some reveals by people so desperate to want to believe she’s good or these are people that work for the hospital there’s no way anyone logical brain could think this woman is capable and good at her job. In this case, I tend to believe the negative written about her. I remember feeling so happy when I landed my appointment with her that I was finally going to be under the care of this top-tier expert MS neurologist. It has been the biggest disappointment ever. and like I said, I am such an easy patient to deal with. I don’t bother any of my providers unless it’s absolutely necessary.
The other thing is, she took me off before I went to have my major surgery in December because I had a reaction to the DMT then she to put me on three different types that are absolutely no go”s for me for various reasons and then she makes the decision to keep me off of them and just sort of monitor me
There’s no way in the world she’s been monitoring me. That’s the most laughable thing I’ve ever heard.
I have a wonderful husband treats me like a princess and takes care of me so wonderfully that it can’t be put into words
He has fought for me as well, but with today’s broken medical system, it just seems to mostly fall on their ears, and I don’t want him to have to deal with this crap anymore either life is short we’re going to just live it and do the best. We can moving forward with this monster MS.
So instead of just putting up it because I have MS because what choices do I have I ??? I said I do have a choice and decided to discharge her from my care. this time I didn’t second-guess myself I followed my gut and said goodbye. 👋
sorry for any typos if nothing makes sense please let me know i will try to explain better. My eye is acting up and I have a patch on it so there’s only so much I can do getting this done with a voice system.
