Yeah this was the idea and actually what I wrote in the original instructionsā¦ however, nobody can seem to keep the plunger properly static while sliding back the needle. It seemed ridiculously overcomplicated anyway, so I revised the guide to just retracting the needle and then pushing the plunger. Itās so easy a monkey could do it, and thereās literally no down side to doing it this way vs the complicated dual moving parts way.
For my first install, neither my installer nor I had read your guide - for the simple reason that I was implanting an IAR and I didnāt know about DT, and the installer didnāt know about implants at all - and the installer figured that the best course of action was to ram the needle in up to the point I had specified, then squeeze the plunger and my index finger together, then pull the syringe out. It made complete sense and it worked dandy - at least it wouldāve if the chip hadnāt come out with the syringe for reasons unknown.
It might look that way, just by the way the video was edited! But I remember specifically guiding her as she did the install, Iāll try see if I can get the full videoā¦
I thought I saw someone already compliment your tattoo, but just incase
that looks really cool love how the colors came out
Iām a sucker for little tattoos like that, that are small and tasteful, but always visible to the owner
( I have both small quotes on the undersides of both my wrists)
if you havenāt already, an xSIID would look cool underneath
Hereās an old picture from these events.
The scars are almost invisible now. My skin is also very dry from all of the pandemic hand washing and antibacterial gelā¦ And Iām thinking of getting that xEM autoclaved and reinstalled but in a slightly more distal position.
Iām going to end up with even more pictures to post here in the future.
Iāve already got an NExT under there but I might add a white field detector
Iām getting an apex mega spectrum in my forearm,and Iāll do a unicorn with the horn right over the LED
Couldnāt find a good place to post this xG3 tragus removal. Seems either almost no one gets things removed, or if they do no one reports on it. This is just a fun little quirky video. No recommendations
Is that you? If so, I hope that the Bellās Palsy that you mentioned in the video description gets better soon.
Also, was it a side effect of one of the covid vaccines or something else entirely?
Haha what? Where did you hear that?
Some people were experiencing Bellās palsy from covid for short periods of time at the beginning of the pandemic, but the mechanism of action for the vaccines is different. It doesnāt produce hostile virus particles that would attack your epithelial cells, just the immunological reaction.
Mine wasnāt covid related. Because of where I live it could have been Lymeās disease, but we eliminated that possibility. That just leaves some kind of herpes inhabiting the nerve cells. Honestly doctors know very little about Bellās Palsy. They know it canāt be treated, and thatās all anyone needs to know because itās not profitable to do anything else.
Itās been 3 months for me, and the neurologist said to expect 6-9 months (if that even means anything). Upside, when it lasts 6 months Iāll finally get that MRI with a fingertip Titan installed that Iāve been after. My left side of my body is fucked anyway from psoriatic arthritis, so I expect this kind of bullshit. Looks like in addition to replacing my left arm and leg with bionics, Iāll also need to develop a face mirroring electrode array to get my expressions back and stave off atrophy.
Heard about it after a family member ended up in the ER shortly after the third shot. He recovered fully after a few hours but we all though he had suffered from a stroke at first. From my understanding, itās one of the rare side effects but I still have to read the published scientific research about this.
Thankfully, Iāve never had any adverse reactions to vaccines. But I got the covid one a bit late because I was very depressed. Ironically, the nurse asked me if I was afraid of chip implants or somethingā¦
I want to replace my entire body with bionicsā¦ I hope that this will be possible Soonā¢.
Whyād you get it out? Too sensitive? Not useful enough? Or an MRI?
I wanted to replace my xG3 v1 with an xG3 v2 for my tragus monophone experiments. This will have been the 4th magnet in that ear. No pain no gain.
Iām not afraid of an MRI. Iām actually looking forward to my next chance to get one with a fingertip magnet in so I can record it
smuggles the phone to record and the fingermagnet in mri room
This has been my dilemma.
I have 2 titans that need to be put in me. I am also arguing with the VA as to if they will MRI me, because of the chips.
They said they would prefer I take them out for the scan, or they want to do a needle guided CT of my spine.
Iām so over waiting, part of me wants to put them in and just hope they donāt fly out.
I might be wrong here, but wasnāt there a kind of āshieldingā option? Especially with magnets in the fingers, wouldnāt it be possible to somehow āblockā the MRI in that area?
I have obviously no clue about that, but I think I read it somewhereā¦ maybe even here^^
Nopeā¦ not really an option. You can shield against the RF electric field generated by the MRI machineā¦ and thatās typically only done in the walls of the MRI room. I think you might be able to make use of eddy currents induced into metal plating to try to reduce the magnetic field propagation, but that would also affect the MRI field inside the machine and so prob not whatās wantedā¦ plus it would get really really hot doing that.
They have mu metal shields for people who have shrapnel in their body. They preferentially direct the magnetic field through them and away from your body. They either donāt have them or refuse to use them at most places. Rarely would it not be easier to just do a CT scan
Yeah, that was what I read about! I mean, there are lots of people with some sorts of metal inside their bodiesā¦ okay, most of it today is titanium, which should be MRI-safe. But especially shrapnels are usually not made of titanium^^
