Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Shaz51
I love that - someone saying on the radio that there is no truth that a change in the weather can cause pain
Tee hee - of course - that person doesn't have chronic pain
After (oh sheesh) - nearly 22 years of chronic pain I just might - changes in barometic pressure causes pain to flare up - of course - those people on the radio - are those people the "they" who know everything?
I bet you know weather affects pain - and other people here who have it - you, @Former-Member and @TAB and others - all know
There are some strange things said about pain - one is that pain medication causes pain because if you stop taking it you have pain - strange that - the pain was there first
I'll survive for now - history has proven this - I keep lasting it out
All the best everyone else who has it - we know better that the strange "they" who make up these stupid statements

Re: Sleeping too much
I never made the connection re me @Decadian. Depends, guess. Pain can be funny animal. I love storms, usually too distracted to feel pain if it was there maybe. It either does or doesn't with me. Too rare effects of cumulative exercise help me. And yes its playing up now but thats from infrequent exercise other day and sitting down

Re: Sleeping too much
I like storms too @TAB
I seem to get very excited and walk around a lot looking at the clouds and taking photos of them
But it takes less than a storm to stir up my back - after the humid weather we had on Friday - really unpleasant - I was okay yesterday but overnight the barometic pressure became high and so did my back pain
Doing any unusual exercise can stir it up too - but I can walk - for 3 km - even more - without stirring things up - but when I got a broom and brushed the cobwebs down outside my unit I knew all about it for days
Yeah - it gets very boring but I do have an MRI proving all the damage - what fun

Re: Sleeping too much
Hey @TAB, I just checked my oil, its 1/2 on the dip stick - is 1L enough do you think? How much oil should I keep on standby for the trip? & how often do I check it? The tyre guy said I have an oil leak so keep an eye on it. Trying not to be anxious 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much
Just add it bit by bit, prob half a litre. Check it when cold, wipe dipstick, give it time in between adding oil. Check coolant. Tyres prob checked recently re tyre guy. Just get 4 litres cheap oil from supermarket, best not to mix but not super critical re whatever's in there now. Just check after few hrs, after stopped 5mins to let in run back down. That will give you a feel for how often to check it.@tawney

You can ask at the servo and they will show you where your coolant is in your car, and how to check it ....
Sorry your back has been so sore. Hope it eases up soon. When are you heading off on your trip ?

Re: Sleeping too much
All engines dift. 4.5 litres normal tho. Re oil. Depends what sort of car and how old re coolant. Lots stuff on dr google and YouTube. Extra oil will just blow out. Its fine. Sorry if I made it sound complicated. Check oil the way I said. Google coolant or give me rough idea re make model age car. Its easy. Sounds like you are onto it. @Former-Member 😇😎🍭
