Hi. I'm a devastated autoimmune patient who just learned Trulieve has changed their lotion and added like 20 awful stinky essential oils to it. It's been my lifeline for 8 years and now I can't use it because of allergies.

I'm in Florida, Sarasota county specifically. Does anyone know of alternatives at other dispensary brands that are similar to the old like 10-ingredient Momenta? :( Preferably without shea butter as a base.

I'm like shaking with rage right now so please bare with me.

I've been a Trulieve customer for almost a decade now. I have severe autoimmune arthritis and muscular issues. My muscles are frequently locked up to the point of spasming/cramping at the slightest effort. Trulieve's THC lotion, no exaggeration, saved my damn life. Any time I had a spasm wracking my body, slap lotion on, the muscle relaxes in moments. It was a godsend.

Recently, I had to top up my supply of the stuff and bought 6 containers from my local shop. A few days later when I had to pop one open, I was surprised to see it was completely different. Whiter, thicker, ickier. And with a strange smell. Every jar was like this. I assumed I had gotten a bum batch and went to the dispensary today to exchange them.

Now, I won't go into how weirdly rude and smarmy the guy was to me about it (weird for this store, everyone is usually super nice) but he did eventually bring me replacement jars. I opened one and...it was the same?

The recipe has changed.

But it hasn't just changed. They've added like 20 more fucking essential oils to it.

Any of you who also have autoimmune conditions know that's a problem. We frequently have hella allergies on top of everything else. And, well, I'm no exception. I tried it. My nose is burning, my eyes are stinging. I'm right on the cusp of a full blown attack and I want to curl up into a ball and cry.

This is the only shit that has kept me going for eight years. I don't know what to do. I want to give Trulieve a piece of my mind. Blow up their social media. Send them a scathing email. But I don't think just one angry cripple is going to make them go back to the old recipe. :((

I don't know if this is allowed on this sub but if anyone knows any other dispensary brand with a pain lotion similar to the old style Momenta please let me know. I'll be bedridden without it, and I was just starting to claw my life back from this disease. I'm beside myself right now.

Please note: I have 0 interest in "upgrading" to Win11. I know Win10 is EOL, but this has been an issue for almost a decade if online reports are to be believed so I do not believe it's related to Win10 being on its way out.

I'm tired, y'all. Like inches away from ordering a Macbook levels of tired. I can't deal with this crap much longer.

My laptop is a slightly older ROG Zephyrus model. It does what I need it to. I have no qualms with the PC itself.

But Windows...Windows. It keeps doing stuff. Seemingly at random, without my permission. Like the damn OS itself is breaking down or something.

Now this specific issue I've had a handful of times before, but it was usually just a one off thing that resolved with a reboot. This time it's different.

I boot my PC. It runs fine. Audio is fine. I put my PC in sleep mode. I open it up. It's fine, audio is fine. I put it in sleep again, open it up and-- "This application cannot be opened." and it's my freaking audio driver.

It happens at random and resolves at random. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. This time I had to fully uninstall and reinstall the driver to get it working again.

Searching the web turns up dozens upon dozens of results, some going as far back as ten years. This is not an unknown problem, Windows just suddenly deciding it's not going to play nice with Realtek anymore. They all say to resolve it by rolling back or reinstalling the driver.

But why does this keep happening and how do I make it stop?? Is there anything I can do to make Windows stop fucking forgetting how to use the same driver it's been using for years?? Or am I just shit out of luck and have to deal with this every time it randomly decides to be a problem?

I don't remember older OSes fritzing out at randomly like this, the unpredictability of the problem itself and its solution is driving me mad. :(

Update: It just did it AGAIN after unplugging my headphones ohhhh my god

A screencap of my desktop, with the error message overlayed on top.

My home is dreadfully un-airtight and this is driving me mad. Does anyone know if this is just the smoke from the southern wildfire blowing up here or do we have a fire of our own to worry about now?

It was so strong it startled me awake, I thought our home itself was burning! D:
