Yes. Severe sleep apnea for years. Getting my CPAP for testing real soon now that I’ve been diagnosed… A third time. Long story. First time was not severe enough, second time my psycho ex said if I start sleeping with a CPAP, I better find another bed to sleep in and now I’m gloriously single and nobody can tell me to keep killing myself because the near quiet him of the CPAP is annoying.
I once had to take a test to “rule out cancer” and just ignored it for like a year. It wasn’t but damn was that stupid as fuck.
I’m at the point where fixing me is impossible and I just keep going until I break down entirely and get sold to a scrap yard
If only a diagnosis was as cheap as a $20 scan tool…
Incidentally the first visit to a specialty doctor is 20€ and subsequent visits are free so that’s about how much it costs here.
Mine told me a cam sensor was having an issue, but the car’s been driving like it always was and hasn’t had an issue in almost a year.
(Watch my car explode now that I’ve posted this)
Bad cam sensor doesn’t necessarily disable the vehicle but a bad crank sensor usually does. Bad cam sensor just means you’re going to waste sparks.
It’s also not something you can just ignore. Eventually you’ll damage/destroy your engine.
Cam position sensors are cheap and generally easy even for a beginner to replace, so if I were you I’d stop putting it off and just get it fixed.
Eh that depends on how the system is set up. If injection isn’t based on the cam position at all, no real worries. If the car also needs precisely timed injection, you’re in trouble. Variable valve timing and stuff will probably complicate this as well. I don’t think I’ve ever had that in a car, my petrol engines have mostly been old beaters where the timing system is much simpler.
Personally I drive a common-rail diesel. It wouldn’t even start with a bad cam sensor I suspect, because it needs to know the exact moment to inject fuel straight into the cylinder. But then my old Chrysler 300M was a car that, in my case had a bad crank sensor (so needed to be replaced for sure), but a lot of the guys who had bad cam sensors just kept driving till they got the new part. Which often took time.
I have lots of sparks to give ✨️ Thanks for the info!
Long as my oil remains fresh I’m good
Juicy vagina keeps you running?
Indeed it do
My entire life up until last year. Turned out to be biochemical gender dysphoria. Estrogen straight-up fixed it for me.
Your body knew
It’s not a real problem, you just gotta know how to drive it right, learn how to make it work, it’s not really broken, it’s fine…
Check blood vessels, check large intestine, and check heart lights are all on and flashing angrily.
I think the “ohfuckwe’redeadadeadmanwalking” alarm also blares out at least once per morning.
I finally went to the doctor after decades of crippling shoulder & back pain. I know how to rehabilitate it myself, but what the world won’t give me is TIME & MONEY to rehabilitate so I’m taking the official -medical-records-and-doctor’s-orders route so the government & IRS & whoever the fuck is holding me as a slave to capitalism …will grant me time & resources for physical therapy & stop buckling under this pain.
It’s metal grinding on metal! You must have heard the noise for miles.
Yes, and…?
Yes, until I found that when you start ignoring the lights as a habit, at some point your body and brain just stop doing stuff. I got myself in a burn-out by ignoring tiredness, stress, and all kinds of random issues. Please listen before you get yourself there, it’s not very easy to get out.
This is so true. I worked at a callcentre for two years, doing crazy shifts for more money, with lots of overtime and short weekends…it was my first job. I liked the money and because I was young and stupid, I wanted to prove myself and did way more than I was paid for.
The people that worked there for many years saw it coming and told me to take it slow or else I’d burn out. I ignored them and the signs my own body gave me. When I was tired, I went to the coffee machine and made myself a triple espresso. “Here we go again!”
Then came the day where I tried to go to work and just…stopped functioning. I sat at my desk with the headset on and couldn’t do anything anymore. I never felt so tired in my life and fell asleep on the toilet in the company bathroom. I still remember my dad driving me home and falling onto my bed, but not a lot else.
It took 1.5 years to get my energy back and the first few months are just a blur. I must’ve slept for weeks, with the occasional toilet breaks and some snacks in-between. Worst of all, I never regained all of the energy I had before that happened. Burnout is a bitch and what I did back then will follow me for the rest of my life.
Mine has had the check engine light for ages and i have had the radio blaring so loud I can’t even hear the obvious issues to anyone nearby
I actually used this to explain a concern of mine to my wife. We had a Subaru Forester that had some minor but expensive issue that kept the check engine light on, so we ignored it. And because of that missed something else that made the engine 'splode (not literally, just turned the SUV to SCRAP). About 8 hours from our house and two hours from the nearest rental car agency (and no trains). With our daughter in the back and me needing to be at work the next morning.
Anyway, I was talking about how everything hurts a bit, and because of that my general pain tolerance is way higher to the point I don’t notice most of the time I’m hurt. Like the check engine light on the Subaru.
I imagine cancer is going to come along and when I find out at stage four, people will wonder how I possibly could have put up with it up to that point without going to the doctor. And I’ll say I didn’t even notice it.
Some people do be like that. My grandpa went to the doctor for a checkup because of pneumonia and they told him about his heart attacks that he’d just quietly had at home.
Needless to say, he didn’t have much longer after that.
That’s because none of us in the US have healthcare.
Just waiting for it to turn off by itself, one way or the other.
