My name is Mitch Mitchell; I'm not Jimi Hendrix' former drummer (who happens to be deceased)
This channel will feature videos of my opinions on all sorts of things. There will be videos on personal things as well as my opinion on some of what's going on at the time. Some videos will be educational and informational... and some will consist of storytelling. :-)
The only one I've heard of on your list is copper, but I always thought it was toxic until I just looked it up. Supposedly it takes a lot of balance to not do damage to oneself; I'm thinking I'm good with the other stuff I'm taking. 🙂
I'm slowly cutting back on my blogs. Even those that I have I've haven't been updating much. It's all RU-vids fault because YT is taking up so much of my time lol.
You know how much I loved to write, but without access to my favorite blog I haven't had much of an urge to be anywhere. I'm getting close to changing things up so I can get back to doing more things I enjoy.
i have musical ear syndrome. i first got it january 2023. and i hate it. my mon doesn’t care about my musical ear syndrome or whatever i have. i hate musical ear syndrome.
I'm sorry you're dealing with it; I've been dealing with it for almost 2 decades... well, you saw the video. These days I listen to ambient movie music to help me fall asleep, and when I'm driving for work. I'm good as long as I'm doing some kind of action most of the time, such as watching videos or listening to audiobooks when I'm walking. Whenever the beat in my head starts to feel overwhelming, I do one of those two things downloaded to my phone so I can put them on whenever I need them. Some people can use white noise and some find other sounds that helps them get past it. I hope you find your solution for comfort as soon as you can.
Did you get contacts? I don't see your glasses? I just got some 2 months ago. I guess at 52 it was time. Bifocals at that! Congrats on your viral video so happy for you!!!!!
Thanks! As for contacts... nope, been there, done that decades ago. I had cataract surgery; here's part one of the story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tqEeNS3PG8U.html
Happened on your channel searching for exactly what you're describing. Thanks for your review Mitch. It's day 2 on this med at bed time, never been on muscle relaxers b4. It makes me drag during the day and that's on a lowest dose.I'll find an alternative for neck & back of head pain. 👍
I'm glad it was helpful; in general terms I hate taking medications, and it seems those that are supposed to reduce pain only works if you're taking massive doses and are ready to sleep a lot. lol I wish you an easier path than I had.
The WABAC (pronounced “wayback”) machine was from the Peabody's Improbable History segment of the early 1960s cartoon series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The machine was constructed by Mr. Peabody, a professorial, bow tie-wearing dog, to be able to visit famous historical events. I thought of this first.
I knew that; Bullwinkle was Dad's favorite cartoon character, and of course Mr. Peabody & Sherman were part of the Bullwinkle show. I have 3 DVD sets of Bullwinkle cartoons, and I also have the Mr Peabody and Sherman movie; yeah man! :-)
Hi ..im 2 years in with this torment ..i have stuck song and podcasts helps me alot ...i find that musicans often suffer this curse the most .not all ..but yea i understand ylur situation ..i listen to rock music so i always have a song looped i head only about 5 seconds of the song but its on repeat ....i had hearing aids to help . Waste of TIME ....im glad you are happy with your noise .....but for me i wouldnt listen to the same thing every night ..i hear everything tho ..i noticed the wind hurling in my sports drink bottle one day ..
Except for maybe 2 or 3, every ambient music file I download is at least an hour long; some of them are 5 hours long, but the average is 3 hours; if I play them continuously it'll last 2 1/2 days. Those eliminate hearing a lot of the repeats when I'm sleeping, and I've reached the stage where if I'm playing them while I'm at the computer I don't notice it much because the music allows me to concentrate on what I need to do; it's been very helpful and relaxing. I wish you the best of luck.
@@MitchMitchellStories I understand I've been using distractions as past few years to help the burden of it ..podcasts mainly .I find conversation a great tool to ease the tinnitus...I find if im busy my brain doesn't allow my brain signals to my ears to be the main focus .staying busy is good .and I've been playing guitar again as past 6 months...I get earworm from my own music lol ....
Heck, what would Ray Bradbury say if he knew library's would stop stocking books? 😎 I also got rid of heaps of books. I gave them to a charity that sells books. A wonder Book Of Tangled Tales sounds really interesting.rebmemert'nacuoyf If you can't remember the painter's name maybe you should finish the memory book series 😜
LOL! Truthfully, I'm not remembering things as well these days as I did in the past; age seems to be catching up with me in many ways unfortunately. Luckily, I can still remember how to beat you in chess! 🤣 I'd love to donate most of my books, but no one's taking them anymore... sniff!
The two products I bought, and did videos on, are Heat Lockers and Heat Holders. The Holders work better than the Lockers, so I have more of those, but if your neuropathy is troublesome, like mine is now, it's still hard to warm your feet internally with just the socks, but they offer some comfort that I appreciate.
Mine was diagnosed by a podiatrist. I already had an endocrinologist, but they look at your feet superficially, whereas a podiatrist concentrates on the overall health of one's feet.
Hey Frank! Haven't had any stormy weather since March; thank goodness! We ended up #4 on the most snowfall this year, with only 58"; that's embarrassing! lol
There is nothing wrong with the generic brands most of the time, and so it's worth trying them out. As for Aldi, I find them a little disorganized. Yep, most of the stores I've never heard of.
I've tasted differences in some foods, but not all of them. I've been battling hamburger lately; unless I'm buying 90%, store bought hamburger tastes horrible.
@@MitchMitchellStories I've found the same with coffee and oil. I've bought Aldi coffee and had to throw it in the bin. The same with their oil. I'm sure it was watered down because instead of frying the chips it looked like it was boiling them.
I remember that when Dad got a low it would hit him hard. Therefore he was scared of it and tried his best for it not to occur, taking his sugar levels 4 times a day. Before meals and then again at night before going to bed. If he thought it was too low at night he would eat something before going to bed. Unfortunately, it didn't always work. :(
I just went through almost 24 hours of dealing with lows; seems I haven't been paying attention to how I'm eating... or if I'm eating. I didn't hit 1,000 calories yesterday because I wasn't feeling good; that's got to stop, but I did gain control over overheating... at least I think I did.
Hi Mitch! Good video! I have been pre-diabetic for 25 years, and before I had Hyperactive Hypoglycemia. For some time I would feel like my blood sugar was crashing- outside, hot, working, sometimes at night, etc. I’d eat something, largely because my horrible lows are so imprinted by the Hypo. Last fall I got a CGM and was shocked that my crashing feeling wasn’t due to my blood sugar being too low. Often it wasn’t bad, but if I ate it shot up and that felt bad. Anywhoooo the CGM really helped me learn more and tweak out my meals and snacks to have a balanced blood sugar. Have you tried one? I was using them and Mounjaro for 6 months before turning 65, and now I can’t get insurance to pay for either (no need at all to help obese seniors). I have kept my CGM’s to dole out/use during bad eating times. Still working on Semaglutides.
I thought I mentioned it in this video, but I must have mentioned it in my other video on my other channel. I have the Freestyle Libre 3, and I've had some issues with them that have gotten on my last nerve. The first sensor lasted 12 days, the second only 6 days. The one I have now has been working for 2 days, but if it doesn't make it through the 14 days I'm calling the company and complaining about the reader (which I thought was called a monitor) saying it has to be that instead of sensor issues. I've been on Novolin for about 10 years, as previous types and my body didn't quite get along (rashes and skin issues). Since I've lowed my dose I've only had one minor crash that was easy to deal with. I also lowered the heat on my electric blanket, and even though my glucose drops some, I haven't crashed and that's much better for me.
@@MitchMitchellStories whew glad you are getting it worked out and have had only crash. I used the Dexcom 7 and really like it. So far all of the units have made it to their 10 day term.
Glad to hear it buddy! I wanna update you on something you suggested. After your video, I started taking Alpha lipoic acid. After about two weeks, my feet started feeling better, and though I didn’t have much hope it would work I started thinking it might have. at the end of the week however, the pain came back. So, I’m not sure if it’s helping, but I’m gonna finish the rather big bottle I got, and any help will be appreciated. I hope it’s still working for you, have a good Saturday!
@@bobhendricks4024It's great that it worked initially, but I wonder why it stopped working since you're still taking it; in all these years, I've never had something I was taking orally or otherwise turn its back on me later on. The only thing I can suggest is to check your shoes to see if they're still cushioned well and aren't part of the cause of your foot pain. It might sound stupid, but just over a week ago I was having some foot pain and realized it was because I'd taken my orthotics out of the shoes I wore most of the time and put them into a different pair of shoes as a test and forgot to put them back where they belong; embarrassing! 😂
@@MitchMitchellStories thx for the tips. I think I said it wrong. I thought it was working at the 2 week mark because they didn’t hurt too much, but they got worse shortly thereafter. I don’t think it really worked with me, they just happened to start feeling better coincidentally when I thought it might. Glad to have tried- finishing the big bottle, just in case. No telling why some things work for some and not others- body chemistry, etc. Sorry so late checking back, my back is out.
Mine didn’t stop until I deleted mostly all sugar, fried foods, deleted soft drinks, desserts, most starches, (essentially went to a Med diet); started an intense exercise regime; added a plethora of vitamins and minerals; began eating a ton of salads and vegetables, and only wore THE most comfortable shoes. I also, backed off the alcohol to only having a drink on weekends and occasionally. I drink a ton of water now. I have also used Vicks and Blue Emu. They help with flare ups, Foot soaking and foot exercises also helped. But mostly, seven months of eating properly with supplements and exercise; and it doesn’t really flare up hardly at all. The thing is, I didn’t change my lifestyle because of neuropathy. I just wanted to be healthier, so I sought out foods that promote health like salmon, dark leafy greens, olive oil, broccoli, nuts, blueberries, an occasional sweet potato, cucumber, avocados, and I started eating that every day, No sweets! The neuropathy just started going away. I am 65, medium build, not diabetic (but was on my way). And I changed everything about 7 months ago. Hope this helps.
I've been diabetic since 1997; things got worse over time because other than being requested to change my diet (which actually messed this up for a while), I wasn't given any other information. I basically went on a walking regimen, and I've walked at least 5 miles every day since 2014. Diabetes changes things though. I'm one of the few people who has problems keeping potassium low, so I can't eat all the vegetables that were recommended for me. If I only eat protein, other problems arise. So it's more of a balanced diet to deal with along with insulin... and I still get to eat a bit of dessert every night. :-) At least my feet are feeling better, ignoring the numbness.
I hope some of these recommendations helps your feet feel better. I've done a more recent video regarding something that's pretty much eliminated my foot pain: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FLN3VoQN_2Y.html
Interesting. For those that don't know, Neuropathy can feel like knives being thrust into various parts of your limbs, out of the blue, and it's excruciating at times! Having had T1D Neuropathy for many years I relate to the frustration of not being helped by the conventional Health (Wealth) System. I mean Endocrinologists literally had no idea and could only suggest pharmaceutical maybes, with all of their inherent side effects - go figure! For me the relief only truly occurred when I improved my BGL/HBA1C to very good levels, and now it hardly ever happens. Oh I should add that I'm moving/walking a lot more now in my job, and I believe that helps quite a bit.
My endocrinologist (actually, the nurse assistant) is worried because my A1c is at 5.3, and she thinks that's too low... which I thought was the point of lowering it in the first place. Of course, now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever mentioned my foot issues to them, only too my podiatrist; that's wild!
@@MitchMitchellStories Amazing control you've achieved - well done! I don't think I could achieve a 5.3 A1C due to the constant risk of lows, It's different for everyone of course, but manually injecting insulin and doing physical activity means the margin of error, to the downside, is quite slim, for me anyway, so I'm not trying for much lower than low to mid 6s - at this point. I'm am presently focusing on reducing the Glucose Variability and staying in a tighter range. Oh the joys of T1D life :|
I'm actually type 2; diagnosed in 1997. And it's interesting because I didn't realize until a few weeks ago that I've been talking about lows for more than 10 years. I also just learned via my own research that just reducing my insulin wasn't controlling the lows; sometimes at night I start overheating, and that drastically lowers my glucose levels, since they're already on their way down, if slower. Still, my feet feels better, so it's one less thing to worry about.
Mitch, I am surprised he has so much support. I know that you guys don't have to vote but I reckon the only sure way he will lose is if people get off their arse and vote.
It's a much different country than it was in 2008 or even 2012. One can't underestimate the tactics of the orange menace to get people to support him no matter what he does, gets accused of and convicted of... with more coming. The problem in our country is that even if Biden wins with the most votes, we have to deal with the Electoral College, with the intention of giving smaller states more of a chance to make a difference as opposed to just counting the regular votes. Hillary Clinton won by over 3 million votes in 2016, Biden won by more than 7 million votes, but both elections came down to one state putting the winning candidate over the edge. That's where we are again right now.
I'd have sworn I responded to this... wait, I did! lol Read what I wrote above about the Electoral College, someone's idea of trying to make it somewhat equal between large and small states. I live in a large state so we get a lot of Electoral College votes, but there's far more smaller states (based on population) so they get their fair share... sigh... lol
No, I don't like the orange guy lol I've had enough of hearing about him for decades, and the only things I'm anxious to hear about him is when he's convicted of criminal behavior and is thrown in jail.
I'll give you that, at least the first season. I had this weird thing where NBC was the only original network where I watched everything that came on for years. I started giving up on network TV and pretty much most TV outside of sports when I was going back and forth to Memphis for 18 months; probably the best decision I ever made.
Try cayenne pepper oil Cayenne pepper made in to pills or just the powder form mixed with Holmes mayo That what helps me and I am a diabetic for over 60 years i make my own cayenne pepper pills
You might have missed my response to someone else who recommended this. I tried it and my feet burned for 3 days of major discomfort. I'll never subject my feet to something like that again.
😂look in cayenne pepper i am diebtic 2 for over 60 years I used a lot of creams for oain and my fingers put cayenne pepper oil on my hands and it helps I use Cayenne pepper and i make my owen pills i take 4 pills and they last about 4 hours look it up on the net
Im 15 years old , and when im in a quet room where i try to rest or feel calm , this sudden sound comes across my ears. It started not long ago wich makes me worried much ,its a weird melody i cant describe but is very similar to the sound the glasses of water make when people aproach them with their hands to make a type of "music" , i know its quite weird ,but i cant explain it myself ,its keep on happening and i dont know how to properly get rid if it by myself, and i dont know when will i get rid of it ?
I haven't gotten rid of it, but I've conquered it. I downloaded a lot of ambient music from YT from movies where I liked the soundtracks: Harry Potter, How To Train Your Dragon, etc. There's lots of them, some slightly different than others (for instance, some play music with rain, wind, stuff like that), and I play them all night when I'm in bed, and during the day when I hear that repeating noise that grates my nerves. There are other types of ambient sounds that might work better for you on this platform; can't hurt to see if something resonates with you. Good luck! 👍
@@MitchMitchellStories thank you for the answer , im just honestly worried about it since the sound i hear has nothing to do with a movie or music , its something that cant be described , but i really hope that itll pay pass away with time , i may have to stop listening to much music and all , but i hope everything will go well for you and i hope ull have a great day/night !
@@_In_God_We_TrustI don't actually hear a song, but I hear a rhythm that perpetually plays over and over. That's why there are other ambient sounds you might find, things like typing, office noise, being in a library, etc. Still, I hope it goes away some day; we all deserve some peace.
Take a paper towel with coconut oil or castor oil on it then sprinkle ceyanne pepper on it and wrap your feet with it and place a sock on it and sleep.....promise your feel will warm up
Not gonna happen. I tried capsaicin on my feet a couple of years ago, and my feet burned for 3 days in a row and it was painful! I vowed never to try anything like that again.
Hello Mitch, Thank you!🙏 I have hear of this in my constant research on pain...is there a way I could message you or talk with you? My name is Tony, I'm 64 and live in South Western New York state 60 miles below Buffalo. Thank you again!♥😊 God's Love and His Blessings for you and yours 🙏♥😊 I hope all is well with you and yours!😊 I just was looking through my RU-vid feed and yours came up and I watched! Glad I did
Thanks for reaching out Tony. I know Buffalo well, though it's been about 10 years since the last time I was in the area; I live in the Syracuse area. I don't give out my phone numbers to people I don't know well, but you can email me at syracusemitch@gmail.com, which is associated with this channel. We're the same age, so I hope you end up having the success I've had using this supplement. Good luck to you, and I wish you well.
Thanks for the great video! Love the tips! I am taking B vitamins and R-alpha lipoic acid, but I am just starting it, and mine is a low dose -100mg. Bet I need to find a larger dose!
Thank you so much Mitch for sharing your experience. I am having problems and have just started exercises for the legs and feet, but if that doesn't work I will try your miracle cure. It's so difficult to know what to do for almast anything as there is so much deceit in the medical/natural aids world, but you are believable and give me confidense in your sincerity.
Thanks for your comment. I tried to help by telling people what's worked and not worked for me when it comes to certain issues. I was shocked this actually worked for me; in general terms, not everything a physician has suggested over the years has come through, so I'm glad this did.
Oddly enough, that's an interesting question; after nearly 30 years, not one of my care givers has ever gone that far across the board. However, I was diagnosed in 1999 after I got a traffic ticket for going too fast in a work zone, missing a sign I never saw. Then I noticed I couldn't see road signs driving home after work, and I'd had an eye exam only 2 months earlier and all was good. Two days later I was diagnosed as having diabetes (helps that I worked in a hospital). As I look back on it, I've had or have other issues pop up, all eventually related to diabetes.
Congratulations Mitch. I notice you now have over 1k subscribers and I wanted to know how many subscribers that video got. Your video most likely went viral because you hit on a subject that interests folk. then if it helped them they shared it with other folk. Sure, if that person or persons have a lot of subscribers then that is going to help any video go viral. Sometimes it also depends on RU-vid. For some reason, RU-vid may put your video at the top of the search and the exposure gets you a lot more views depending on the title and thumbnail. That's happened to a few of my videos. Then RU-vid decides to shove it out of view and so people can't click on it if they can't see it. Some of my videos have high impressions and click-through rates but the views aren't there because RU-vid has decided to not put it out there.
I was thinking that happened; wish I could figure out how to happen more often. The weird thing about it is that particular video only has a watch time around 23% out of now almost 48K views... which tells me a lot of people decided not to watch it once they got there. Oh well, at least I hit my target number early this year.
Good for you Mitch! Being consistent is the key and you have definitely been that. I find that I have videos I recorded on IG and TikTok a couple of years ago are still being circulated and making $$$. I just hit 1 million subscribers on IG. I thought, for sure, it would be TikTok first.
I had a feeling you'd do better on Instagram, and I'm glad I called that. :-) Thanks for your words about my RU-vid adventure; I just hope to hold onto as many subscribers as I've recently accumulated. lol
I'm letting you and everyone else talking about it to do what you need to do. I'm sticking with what my podiatrist recommended that's worked wonders for me. I'm letting the rest of y'all discuss it from this point on.
@MitchMitchellStories doctors suggest Ala but taking the synthetic version will absolutely stop you from being able to get the full benefit from it because it blocks your body from absorbing the real form. So it's not recommended to suggest taking the synthetic form.
Thanks for both sentiments Olando. Working my way further upward, as I've had some good things come my way since the beginning of the year. Always pushing forward, just like you. :-)
Awwwwww thanks and I'm so happy for you. Sorry I have not been around as much. Just so busy with my business. I'm working on all this animation and video stuff for this secret website I'm making with a business partner. Looking forward to your next video. @@MitchMitchellStories
I am wondering if you had your foot issues before covid shots. Is your foot because of cloting or nerve damage from a accident or a surgery? I am also wondering about blood preasure or any impacts on your liver.
Was 2012 before Covid? lol That's when I started having foot issues and when I started going to a podiatrist. It kept getting worse over the years, even after getting custom orthotics, as I also had ankle issues for a while. No cancer or liver issues, just diabetes since '97. Started getting that under control around 2015, lost around a total of 70+ pounds, and I've walked at least 5 miles every day since the summer of 2014, even through the pain, finally switched podiatrists, learned about alpha lipoic acid in November and no pain since the beginning of December. Still some numbness, but I can deal with that for now.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I've tried foot baths with epsom salts; they do nothing for me, so I stopped. I've never heard of copper socks; I'm going to research that... thanks!
@@MitchMitchellStories yes hope you try the copper socks they work good. They sell them at Walmart and Walgreens. I also have copper gloves they work good. I something get pain and weakness in my hands.
Want to do a minor followup. My local Walmart doesn't carry it, which I already knew. I went online and ordered it from them, but they wouldn't deliver it to the store so it's coming in the mail and I'll be getting it on Monday.
@@MitchMitchellStories I also found alpha lipoic acid in the Starkville Walmart and took a picture but couldn’t figure out how to put in a comment. Sorry
@@HuntBobo Is that also in Mississippi? While I was traveling for work, I noticed Walmart stores in the south had different rules than is New York when it came to diabetic supplies. Maybe it covers other items also.
@@MitchMitchellStories yes it is one of the bright spots, where Mississippi State University. You do have to search to find stuff in the vitamin and mineral aisle. They don’t organize it and it is in consistent. I couldn’t find covid tests in DC or Fla. Keys a couple of years ago but there were several at the Amory MS Walmart but none of the others from Memphis to Tupelo.
