<p>Yah...I've been there for 6 months now with a constant headache. The first month or so, I was taking 3.5g/day consistently. At hour 4.5 - 5, it would wear off. If it wasn't for my tracking, I probably would have ODed.</p>

<p>You are running a high fever or have a massive headache, so know you are going to max out at 4g/day.  At that point, it's kind of hard to keep track of the clock.<p>"My head is pounding. Shit...did I take this at 3PM or 5PM? I know I took it and then fell asleep, but I can't remember when. It is now 9PM, can I take more or not?"</p>

<p>To be clear, it was nabumetone, celecoxib or meloxicam (at various times, not overlapping) for me.</p>

<p>P.S. like someone mentioned in a comment below happened to them, be careful with NSAIDs over the long term. Until recently I took them daily for better part of 3 years. I was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Can't definitively say causation, but they definitely contributed. They're fine for short term use but can really f$%# you up with long term, daily use.</p>

<p>I lived with an ICU nurse for years and one of the things he emphasized was the risk of acetaminophen overdose. He's more than once treated the liver failure (and death) from it and by his words, it's one of the worse ways to go.<p>The positive of it is it got me in the habit of logging whenever I take it, either in a note on my phone or just a sheet of paper I place on my dresser under the bottle.  This helps make sure I stay under the 3-4g/d limit.<p>Last year I was diagnosed with a rare headache disease (NDPH). We thought it completely came out of nowhere, but I had logs in my phone recording headaches and acetaminophen use intermittently from a few weeks prior. This proved useful in the diagnosis.<p>Moral of the story: log when you take it to avoid overdosing. Combine that with some basic symptom logging (like 1 line, 10 words or less). You never know when that might be useful for your doctors later on.</p>

<p>Stolen laptops would be my one idea here to always encrypt, even if MS / Apple has your key and can easily give it to the government?  This way you have to know a user's password / login info to steal their information if you steal their computer (for the average theif).  You still get their laptop, but you don't get their personal information without their login information.</p>

<p>I personally have a Samsung TV, but this ACR and ad stuff is why ever since the moment I took it out of the box, it has never and will never, be plugged into the internet. I simply use an Google TV plugged into it for my actual streaming, and avoid all of this ACR nonsense (yes Google has their own tracking but I want Tailscale and SmartTube). I think this is the way to do it. Just use your smart TV as a dumb TV, and move on.</p>

<p>I've had quite good luck asking Gemini and ChatGPT to include links to research papers for every claim they make.  Not only can I review at least the abstracts but I find when I do this, they'll retract some of the hallucinations they've have made in prior messages. It almost seems (and maybe they do) in their web searching tools, reread the content they include. Thus, greatly reducing errors, with minimal extra effort on my part.</p>

<p>I think the thing to remember with this, as with any kind of medical procedure, is the benefits versus the risks. In many cases, if you're getting this kind of MRI contrast, there's probably a good reason for it. So even if there's some risk, it might be better than say, the cancer or something else they're looking for. I feel like this is something that's often forgot in these discussions.</p>

<p>I've been suffering from migraines for the last month, so have channeled my (non-migraine) time into a migraine tracker to try and find the root causes.  All the tracking apps I tried all have nice complex forms, which is all well and good, unless...you are having a migraine.<p>Rough idea is easy to use voice mode to record data, then analyze unstructured data with AI later on.<p>I want to track all relevant life information, so what I'm eating, meds I'm taking, headache/nausea levels, etc.<p>Adding records is as easy as pressing record on my apple watch and speaking some kind of information. Uses Deepgram for voice transcription since it's the best transcription API I've found.<p>Will then send all information through to a LLM for analysis.  It has a "chat with your data" page to ask questions and try and draw conclusions.<p>Main webapp is done, now working on packaging it into an iOS app so I can pull biometrics from Healthkit.  Will then look into releasing it, either on github or possibly in the app store. It's admittedly mostly vibe coded, so not sure if it'll be something releasable, but we'll see...<p>Let me know if this would interest anyone!</p>

<p>I lived in Breckenridge (9,600ft) for a few winters post college.<p>Before college, when I had last been to CO, I didn't get any altitude sickness. Post college, I discovered (by blacking out on the slopes at Vail) that I now got bad altitude sickness. It now takes me almost 2 weeks to aclimate, but once I do, boy, is it amazing.<p>The most fun time was when I flew home to the East Coast after being there 4 months. I felt like absolute Superman. So much energy, barely needed any sleep! I only wish those effects lasted more than 5 days...</p>

<p>I use the technique of taping a microsd card with copies of my passport, credit cards, 2fa backup codes, etc, encrypted; along with a $100 to the bottom of my insole inside my shoe.  Put them in a little "crack sized" ziplock, add lots of gaffers tape (so if you take the insole out it's not obvious, plus makes it a bit waterproof) and if I ever get mugged, I have enough cash to get a cab (or depending on where I am, pay a bribe) and then find a computer I can use to get my info and figure out next steps.<p>Normally carry a yubikey with me (2, in fact, one on me, one in my big bag at my hostel / hotel). But if I get mugged between airport - hostel, then at least I have the shoe backup.<p>A 3rd level is that my parents have a yubikey and 2fa backup codes for me. They dont have my passwords, but in a pinch, I can call them to read me a code.<p>Very open to ideas on things to improve...</p>
