When I was coming off the beta-blockers my heart rate was slowly going up at both REST and under load. Of course, beta-blockers were doing a great job in maintaining it nice and low, but sluggishness and lower exercise capacity sucked. Anyhow, after getting off of them and consistently...

Hot water, not warm HOT. 30+ seconds in that will loosen everything up and the blood will flow real well.

I was on it post OHS and was happy to get off it asap. It was making me sluggish and even light-headed at time, though, it was doing a great job at keeping my HR at around 70 when without it the HR was 90+. I started halfing the post-surgery doze as soon as I could and then a week or two...

Here is a thread I can respond to ;) In my early 20s I was told that for sure I will need a surgery within next 10 years or sooner, actually made it out longer into my mid 30s, all while competing as a powerlifter, the drug-free kind. My day job is fairly sedentary in software and all, so 2...

A job well done Anthony. Thanks for blogging, I am sure it will help many. EDITED TO ADD: Make sure to workout your legs a lot. If you are ready for weightlifting legs and core can keep you busy until your upper body catches up, and being that there is lots of muscle in your lower half body...

Love the action shots. Thanks for sharing. Way to live it and love it! I just snowboarded at Snowshoe a week back and it was spectacular!

Pellicle, love reading your posts. You like to take a post apart to provide feedback to each and every sentence, and while it's almost obnoxious at times, I know that you always mean well and it really does help. I am posting for 2 reasons. Firstly, I am on 11mg doze per day and this has kept...

But then we will not get cool analytics that google survey has ;)

I am probably going to make a video of this but here is something that I have been doing for several months now and has worked really well for me. Equipment: I use CoaguCheck XS, but anything should work. Lancets: Any brand you like will work. Fingers: Any, including the pinky. Left hand...

Anthony, I like the results link. People would be a lot more willing to give you data if you told them that as a school teacher and human being you are curious, and any other reasons. I took the survey as results are fascinating. I'd love to do correlations on this data, btw. For example...

They are about $6 on amazon after shipping. Worth every penny x 100 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1887841075/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Not sure if its too late to chime in ;) With ON-X, for example, there was a rep on site and they had every, and I mean, every single size on site. Also, the surgeon assured me that hospital had another mechanical valve that he likes to work with in stock in every size available and even more...

Woohoo, this deserves a new post with more details. I know newbs here love reading this stuff.

Hey, anyone know which hospital he had his procedure at? He is probably busy recovering and kicking butt. I have his real name and if anyone remember the hospital I will call and try to say hi.

I test weekly, and if I ever had to make adjustments you would never go up or down more than 5-10% of your total weekly doze to make adjustments and re-test. Simple scientific method. Say you take 7mg per day @7 days per week (49mg per week) and your range is 2.0 - 3.0 and your weekly test came...

Anthony, next thing you know you will be speed walking and interval speed walking. Once you get more comfortable you will start using your legs and even hands more and more. Soon, in about 12 weeks, you will be climbing and bouldering again. For now, maintain shape, work legs and get off all...

I knew you would be doing well. Glad you are pushing those physical limits.

When I first started here, there were a whole bunch of threads that RossMan authored that I learned a lot from and this is what got me very interested in learning more. RossMan, we never met or had a conversation, but you changed many lives with your information and in your honor we will...

I am here just pinging Tirone. His surgery was this morning and I cannot wait to see his post and hear his recollection of what went down.

Man are pansies when it comes to pain-killers. Yes, here is a guy telling you that women have a much higher pain tolerance. Anyways, while I agree that pain-killers and pain tolerance are very individual you have to agree that less chemicals in your body is better not worse. Do I take a...
