   Gabapentin is ok for nerve pain. I'd like to switch to Lyrica not just because it may or not feel nicer, but because the doses are like 3x less by weight so it doesn't go so hard on your kidneys. It's basically like adding 2.7grams of salt to my diet, which is fine for a physically healthy 22 year old (god I can't believe I'm 22 already) but doing that long term isn't the greatest, especially given how many other pills I take in a day. 600 lyrica would be better in that regard.

   So you are at 122 right now? You have a ways to go. I’m lucky I could go so slow. My doc was surprised that I kept asking to go down. He’s the doc that botched my back surgery, so he knows my pain was insane. My pain seems to be in control with gabapentin, so I’m ready to be off the tramadol. Really don’t wanna go through the herky jerkies though.

   
   Yurrrrrp. Down from 165. Didn't help that I was smoking between 2-4 grams and banging a half gram or so every day. I'm feeling good enough that I asked to start going down 5mg a week, but they maxed it at 4. And that doesn't even seem fast enough for me. I'd rather go down fast now, and then a bit slower when it gets to below 30 mg.
   
   The prospect of dealing with this shit for another 6 months even, just makes me tired. If there's no better way to do it that minimizes discomfort, then it is what it is. But I swear, on the couple days a week where I have to actually go in and dose in front of the nurse, 122mg make sure me feel like a boxer who's been punched in the head. An hour after dose, I'm just out like a light. I CAN function if I have to, but I'm so tired and dizzy it's just uncomfortable. I feel like I'm on way to high a dose. I definitely needed to be on a high dose back then- the cravings and anxiety didn't subside until 140mg or so. But now it just feels like overkill. Idk if that's a good or bad thing.

   Do credit card companies generally prefer their clients to pay their full balance every month?

    I'm gonna get medical assistance pretty soon because I lied about my income (it's variable because my wage depends upon what time of day and day of week I'm working among other things) so pretty soon the gov't taxpayers are gonna be footing the entire bill for my prescriptions lmao.
    
    Thinking about asking for a biologic migraine med in part because they ungodly expensive.

    What about lying on your income and assets to get a better card?

    it's better for your credit rating but they make less money off of you if you're not paying their ridiculous interest fees

    Someone told me if you pay it off fully, it doesn't boost your credit score as much, because essentially you're not paying interest on anything. Being able to pay that interest (apparently) indicates that you're able to manage the responsibility of credit, without just paying off things sporadically in chunks when you have the money.
    
    Who knows though. There's so much conflicting info. But my score went from nada to 765 in a year.
    
    That reminds me I need to call today to have my limit extended. You want to keep your credit utilization percentage under 50%, and I'm tired of having to go to the ATM and put cash in my checking account to pay my credit card bill every time I drop a few hundred bucks on some shit I absolutely don't need. A 2500 limit should have me comfortable for a bit.most I ever spend at once is 700 or 800.

    i don't think that's true. I think always paying it off raises it the most.
    
    I always use credit cards to buy things whenever possible for the cash back and credit boost. I only use my debit card for the parking meters that refuse to accept my credit cards for some reason, and to buy bitcoin because my credit cards decline the transactions. Using a debit card is literally missing out on free money.

    Ditto. I get 2% cash back, and then an extra 5% cash back on different types of stuff through the year. Right now it's groceries and gas stations. And then there's special offers thru the CC like when I rent movies at Redbox, I get 20% back of Uber Cash. If it's something you're gonna do anyway, then why not? The other day I randomly saw that I'd accrued $42 in Uber cash, so iidnt have to pay for rides for the first part of the week.
    
    And then through my acorn savings account, I save 50 cents on every Uber ride. So since I take at least 4 rides a day, that's $2 every day. If you use Samsung Pay, you get discounts on shit. Saved 8% last time I went to O'Reilly Auto, just for using that that shit.

    PART 33333: DrEaM $$$3qu3nze
    
    A cloudy dome instead a home
    Where no one can come and no one can go
    Written in the bark and painted on the walls
    The words drips off and into my skull
    
    And holding my hands is like thinking I'm mine
    If I don't notice it I can pretend that I'm fine --
    
    A glassblower's shadow, a canvas ethereal
    Sextuplets of carbons imposed on fundamental quadrants
    Strobing, humming, reverb for blue giants
    
    Encompass the respiration, of a chambered heart
    An end to a start and do we know where we are?
    
    I stand my ground, the surroundings my crown
    Poorly defined once I lay down
    
    and it's
    Something else, something true, it will
    be just beyond, a trail left for clues
    
    A body a temple, a cage, a puppet
    The soul connects to the machinery's sockets
    And what may decay and transfer to bloom is
    Not something U know to pause and resume
    
    Drifting to stations,awaiting extinction
    Survival is essential, a fuel of premonition
    Has the ego and drive simply lost ambition?
    So we no longer see need in synchronization
    But only our palate and preservation
    
    A cog out of place for the whole living race
    A face makes a case when the lives lay to waste
    Insidious mutations, paranoiac relations for
    A dozen deaf ears and empty conversations -- Good.
    
    Why must I wait? To exit this state?
    If I was only a feather would I carry such weight?
    To mate and propagate, to blame the irate
    I now I'm too early or too late --
    
    Inside a core, with striking desire
    To find fantasy, and trust my own choir
    In isolation, anomie, of chances so coldly
    I perch from a pier where nothing can hold me --
