Have you tried lidocaine patches? Over here they're call Solonpas?I'm on 2x2mg of diazepam, and 2x50mg of codeine and it's hardly touching me! I'm slightly more mobile today which is a good job as we had absolutely no help yesterday. OT called this morning and is trying to get us a mobile hoist today, but then they want to install ceiling hoists in all rooms for longer term, which neither wife or I are that keen on. My poor wife is not having it good and the last thing she needs is me not being at 100%.
Thanks for all the good wishes guysMuch appreciated.
If you aren't used to codeine you may need a bit of prune juice
Or lots of dark beer-Whortys special treat
Tempting ... but I don't think that would help us much .... but I guess, we've tried everything else so what the heck, I'll give it a goOr lots of dark beer-Whortys special treat
Chemist did warn me of possible side effects ..... do you think this would be a good excuse when I'm back on the bike again?If you aren't used to codeine you may need a bit of prune juice

Don’t count on it. You know Tommy. Flat on your back unable to move.. you’ll be lucky to get a 3.

Really sorry to hear of your injury and general situation Whorty. Sounds Hopefully the meds are helping your back. When you do get back to the bike you might need that TUE after all.

I’m not sure what score that gets to be honest.
But I know it’ll be improved significantly if @Whorty shares his sweets with his friends ! 🤪

Just bought a remote socket so I can turn the fan on or off whilst on the Neo. With been in the garage it’s sometimes a bit cold to have the fan on straight away till I have warmed up ,can now have the switch on the shelf with my drink in easy reach

First thing I did when I moved in the garageJust bought a remote socket so I can turn the fan on or off whilst on the Neo. With been in the garage it’s sometimes a bit cold to have the fan on straight away till I have warmed up ,can now have the switch on the shelf with my drink in easy reach
I too have something similar for my setup. It’s also linked to Alexa - but the silly b1tch often can’t understand me when I’m panting instructions to her over the sound of the turbo/music 😃Just bought a remote socket so I can turn the fan on or off whilst on the Neo.

I have something similar too
I wired the three larger fans to a 3 way dimmer switch which is on a shelf just to the left of the turbo.
I don’t often have all three fans going, maybe I will if I ride through the summer. But having the dimmers is really nice because it means you can control the fan speed as I get hotter, cranking it up slowly. The two small ones attached to the neo bike stem aren’t very powerful but they’re quite nice when you’re just warming up.
Sorry the pictures are so big I can’t work out how to re size them...

Haha!
I get the same problem with Alexa.
Me: "Alexa. Turn on Garage Fan"
Alexa: "Garage doesn't understand xxxx" (I can't ever hear what Garage doesn't understand over the noise of Spotify)
Me "********"
