I was diagnosed with CVS in 2018 and fought it hard, I spent a lot of time in the hospital, received so many IVs, and lost almost 150lbs. I genuinely thought that I was going to die.

I took me a few years, but I pulled out of it and learned how to manage my symptoms, spot the warning signs, the whole nine yards. I had years of nothing, almost completely symptom free to the point that I sometimes forget that I carry this with me.

It’s coming back.

I can feel the early signs, the way it’s draining me completely already and I haven’t even had what I’d call a bad one yet. Previously I’d go for four or five days at a time and I’m getting scared that I’ll be reliving that soon.

I never thought to look for a group of people who know what this is like. I’m the only one I know affected by it, and I just needed to say it somewhere. I’m scared.

I’ve been working on my 1996 GMC 5.0 and this morning it wouldn’t start.

I was getting spark from the sending unit, but nothing at the plugs. I’m guessing that this is the stock disruptor giving up, but I had to go to work so I haven’t been able to fully check it out yet.

I was looking around and seeing people happy with a brass topped United Motor Products 9362 so I figured I’d order one of those. Is there anything I need to know about that could be compounding the issues?

I am aware that it would need to be replaced at TDC and am capable of checking that it’s there

I haven’t begun to track it down yet, but I’m done having to do math everyday, so I’d like to fix my speedometer.

The gauge works, it’s just off by about 20-30 mph depending on the speed. My road speed of 35 reads about 60 on the dash.

I’m thinking that it’d be a speed sensor or something within the actual gauge, but I figured I’d see if there’s any prevailing knowledge.
