- is anyone else making notes to cross reference? -- nm - peglegpete Apr 2, 14:49 1
  - heh. Yeah, Andy owns the spreadsheet and keeps neglecting to give it to me. I'm sick of this crap. I'm trying to make him hand it over so I can put it - loosilu Apr 2, 14:50
- I'd think if you were going to take notes, that's exactly what you would record, no? -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 14:49 13
  - it's what *I* would record. I am not sure what she is recording. she doesn't share. I have to ask for info. - loosilu Apr 2, 14:49 12
    - "All work and no brewing makes Tempe a dull girl. All work and no brewing makes Tempe a dull girl..." -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 14:55
    - weird. - znufrii Apr 2, 14:51 10
      - I think a lot of it is expenses (every little thing). There are lots of holes in the brewing records too. Also, I'm the only one - loosilu Apr 2, 14:56 9
        
        also...why I'm glad I only do one batch at a time. - znufrii Apr 2, 15:03 1
        
        well, that's just not enough beer. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:11
        
        that would drive me crazy. - znufrii Apr 2, 14:57 6
        
        exactly!!!! I don't give a shit how much you paid for the hop sleeve. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:00 5
        
        and if it really mattered all I would need to do is have the shop pull up my purchase records from their system -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 15:01 4
        
        if they keep records that detailed. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:11 3
        
        if they will not keep the right/accurate records, become dictator bitch about it, or find a new brew group. -- nm - peglegpete Apr 2, 15:17 1
        
        the solution is simple. open the records to all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:28
        
        everything is rung up on the same computer system, can't think why they wouldn't. -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 15:13

- Have you had these pains before? -- nm - amoxy Apr 2, 14:48
- is this normal? did you pull it? need a massage? a new back? feel better soon! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 2, 14:47
- Yikes, I'm sorry. Rest as much as you can, then see a doctor/chiropractor ASAP. -- nm - Inigo Apr 2, 14:47
- any arm or front chest pain? my heart attack started similar to what you described -- nm - peglegpete Apr 2, 14:47
- uh, get thee to an ER -- nm - pixitude Apr 2, 14:47 4
  - Even if it's muscle spasms or something, getting meds via iv will get you relief much faster. -- nm - TFox Apr 2, 14:52
  - yeah, honestly. don't fuck around. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 14:51
  - I'm inclined to agree. -- nm - David Apr 2, 14:49 1
    - ditto -- nm - peglegpete Apr 2, 14:49
- Do you have any tingling or numbness in your legs or hips? -- nm - David Apr 2, 14:47 20
  - no, and it's not lower back or "I threw my back out" kind of problem, it's shooting laterally mid way up. It must be muscle spasms of some sort. - Max Apr 2, 14:49 19
    - it could be a number of things - go get checked, please. -- nm - b. Apr 2, 14:56
    - That's why I asked about tingling. Nerve injuries ordinarily reveal that way, I'm told. - David Apr 2, 14:50
    - ER now -- nm - amoxy Apr 2, 14:50 16
      - for muscle spasms, really? I suppose I could go, I didn't really have any plans this evening and I haven't started pouring the rum yet. -- nm - Max Apr 2, 14:51 13
        
        You could call your HMO and see if there's an Urgent Care center that will accept your insurance -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 15:02 6
        
        if he presents at an Urgent Care with chest pains, they will send him straight to the ER. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:12 5
        
        I thought he said back, not chest. -- nm - mara Apr 2, 15:14 4
        
        the chest has a front and a back. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:15 3
        
        Right, but he won't walk in saying, "I have chest pain." He'll walk in saying "I have back pain." -- nm - mara Apr 2, 15:32 2
        
        apparently heart issues can initially present that way ... it is not for us to decide. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 15:34 1
        
        they can, sure; but I'd guess 99+% of people who have pain in their back would say the pain is in their back. not the back of their chest. -- nm - b. Apr 2, 15:39
        
        as I said before, the symptoms are similar to the beginnings of my heart attack. I had vicodin at home and they did not help. please go to the ER -- nm - peglegpete Apr 2, 14:55
        
        The fact that you were sweating and couldn't breathe makes me worry it was something else. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 2, 14:53
        
        I wish I'd gone to the ER the moment I was injured. They have the good drugs. -- nm - David Apr 2, 14:53
        
        yes, at least you will get muscle relaxants prescribed. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 2, 14:52
        
        they can give you the good shit, at least. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 14:52
        
        never mess around with pain in the chest area. -- nm - loosilu Apr 2, 14:52
      - yeah, I would say so. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 14:51
      - Yep. I worry it's not back. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 2, 14:50
- Yipes. Sounds awful. -- nm - mara Apr 2, 14:47
