Was finally able to do it after going to my cardiologist yesterday and the nurse walking me through it. Afterwards I thought, wow, that was really easy! I’ve had my Repatha for over a month and just couldn’t get up the courage, but finally I did it yesterday. And I’m super scared of needles too.
I’m hoping for no side effects, haven’t had any yet, but want to get through the first 36 hours.

Just got a set and the audio sounds good but not great. How do I make it sound better and louder? I already downloaded the app but not much there other than adjusting bass and treble.

I’m scared as heck, thought the thigh would be best, but looks like stomach is better but I’m not sure I’ll be able to do it. Any suggestions for my first time, was going to do a lidocaine patch first to the area, leave it out the night before, probably go stomach if I can stomach it, maybe try icing the area too?

I’m wanting to buy a CPO M60 or 50 in the next 9 months. My lease is up on my i4, and I’ve driven both. I’d really love all the features of the m60, but since I’m buying it I worry about maintenance and repair costs. What would you do?

We’re already doing a lot of remodeling and to save time we’d like to get a premade outdoor sauna. Looks like Saunalife or SiSU might be the best. We’d like as much window as possible without sacrificing too much heat and like a more modern look. Only needed for up to 2-3 people.

Finally got my cardiologist appointment after 9 months of waiting and he said what I thought he would. I’m 50, both grandfathers died of heart attacks at 55 and 63, my dad has been on statins his whole life and now has Alzheimer’s at 88. My brother has taken statins since he was 30. My lp(a) is 109.4 and my cholesterol has dropped from 267 to 206 in the last 6 months.
The doctor suggested Repatha after trying 3 different statins. I’m a little worried about the needle and doing it every 2 weeks. What do you all think?

I’m just getting diagnosed and wondering what helps the most with your mg? It can be anything, prescription or not.

What kind of sauna for 2+ people would you get for outdoor and in Northern California?

I went to a neurologist a couple months ago, and she suggested that I do nerve muscle testing and also get a blood test. I’m too scared to get both of those things done, I’m not good at test and anything to do with the medical system. But I was reading over notes from an eye exam I had two years ago and the doctor said that I have smooth pursuit movement disorder and it got me thinking about myasthenia gravis again, I also suffer a lot with my eyes and seeing double and also with swallowing and muscle coordination in my face and mouth. Is there any helpful advice any of you can give me?

Are these the best tires you’ve found for ride quality and longevity?

I have 23.5k miles on my i4 edrive 40 and live in a mountainous area, driveway at 20% grade and I’ll need to get my 4th set soon. At this point I’ve gone through the Turanza (13.5) that first came on them, Michelin ps4 (6.5) and now Goodyear with only 3,500 miles. With each choice my mileage gets worse and worse. Any suggestions for next time? Was thinking Pirelli or hankook?

I leased my 2024 i4 edrive in August of 2024 and am already at 26k, but set the lease at 12k a year. Do I start paying more now? Or do I wait until right before the lease is up in August of 2027?

Curious after my bmw i4 lease, should I buy a used rivian? I need a truck or suv next and I like the look of them. What do you think?

Curious to hear what you all have tried and liked? And what tension?
