REL Quake

WM this is a classy forum so please stop using common naims for Mr P's affliction, its Haemorrhoids.

And you are not in the medical business so please refrain from suggesting a medication, you are not qualified to do so.

see here:

Haemorrhoids (Piles)
Haemorrhoids (often known as Piles) are enlarged and engorged blood vessels in or around the back passage (anus). These may be associated with pain, bleeding, itching and feeling as if a lump or bump is hanging down.

Symptoms

You may notice a pain or ache around the anus and lower bowel (rectum), which can be really quite severe.
There may be itching of the area.
There may be bleeding from the back passage. This will be bright red blood, not usually mixed in with the motion, but often seen on the toilet paper.
There is often a feeling of something coming down, or a bulge or lump at the anus.
If a haemorrhoid at the outside of the anus gets a blood clot in it (thrombosed external pile) it leads to a particularly tender, hardish lump.
Causes
Haemorrhoids are very common. They are said to be more common in countries where the diet has traditionally been more processed and low in fibre. The main contributory causes are those things that cause us to raise the pressure in the abdomen. This causes the blood vessels to swell and become engorged.

It seems that the people most at risk of developing haemorrhoids are those who have more causes for raised abdominal pressure, such as:

Those chronically straining with constipation.
After or during pregnancy. Here, the baby may actually press on the main blood vessel that returns blood to the heart (the vena cava).
Overweight people.
People with heavy lifting jobs.
Diagnosis
Most episodes of trouble from haemorrhoids come and go quite quickly. If simple measures do not help or the problem is lasting, keeps returning or worsening, then you should see your doctor, especially if you have any other associated symptoms eg weight loss; change of bowel habit; slime (mucus) in the motions; darker, changed blood mixed in with the stools.

Your doctor will ask a few questions and is likely to examine you and may want to feel inside the anus with a gloved finger. Sometimes he will look inside with a metal instrument. This enables him or her to confirm the diagnosis, and to rule out other, more serious problems such as cancer.

Treatment
It is usually best, with haemorrhoids, to get by with the least treatment possible, as even after the most extensive treatments they may still return.


Many times they will settle down over a matter of days without any treatment.
Cream or suppositories (bullet-shaped tablets to be inserted into the anus) may be bought over the counter, or your doctor may prescribe one. These soothe itching and pain, and cause swelling and bleeding to diminish.
Cold compresses, even ice can be helpful.
If you do not get better with these approaches, your doctor may ask a specialist to see you who may:

Put little rubber bands round the haemorrhoids, which will cause them to shrivel and wither away.
Inject a substance into the haemorrhoids which causes them to wither away (sclerotherapy).
Cut away the problem, usually under a general anaesthetic.
Prevention
Haemorrhoids are very common, and will occur anyway, but, as implied above, useful aspects of prevention are:

Avoid becoming overweight, and lose weight if you are.
Eat a high fibre diet.
Exercise regularly.

Paul,
To be fair, penence does eat more fibre than most, hence his posts.
As for back passage cleansing, I here some of the posters on the mana forum are experts at this.
BTW I've been giving a little though to your system, I'd go for another Walrus, get some iron like control on them Arts, then you too can have constipated bass as well.
Prehaps my Belcanto needs some roughage

 

you saying my posts are shite?

hmm.....

 

There is a customer of AS who runs 2 Walrii but I feel he has deeper pockets than me, besides i've no where to put one, and not sure if I need to bi amp would rather run as monos bridged and I don't think the Walrus has this facility, oh and I'm short by about 4 grande, besides the one walrus really grabs the speeks as it is, they are 89db and nominal 8 ohm so not really difficult to drive, even driven them with MF xa50 monos and they sounded pretty good considering, were being fed by my CDP and Pre though.

 

PS with reference to above post, I don't think my speakers can be biwired, something to do with the x over, if run biwired they then become sub satelite, they were not designed for this, and I'd be betgter with a REL.

 

How? are you saying they aren't?

 

Paul,

Can you configure them for monobloc's, great imagimng and staging from this
Penence, would I say such a thing, shame on you for suggetsing otherwise

 

I had no idea walrus racing was a sport north of the border! Is it as popular as curling up there?

 

OK OK
i own up
Im full o shite

Piles are reducing tho, im trying a freeze method on them

 

Merlin their not too bad on the ice as long as the tusks don't get stuck.

Tony, the walrus is fully balanced dual mono anyway, and has four 350va toroids 2 perchannel, just to keep it nice and fast and grippy, oh and power doubles into 4 ohms, and I bellieve doubles agin into 2 ohms but not as happy with 1 ohm loads, but shop has quite happily driven apogees and kharma's with them, and if sounstage got any bigger I would need a bigger room to hold it, besides I can't afford it for a coupla years anyway.

 

I fear your not the only one! Just look through this thread!

 

tis a fair point
Its Friday, poets day, im just wasting time until 2pm

And i got my promotion yesterday, so i feel an easy day is in order to celebrate my pending pay rise

 

Congratulations, just as well the descision makers don't read your posts on this forum or you'd still be the tea boy

 

lol,
yea i moved from tea boy to general arse licker and bog cleaner

 

i'd already poet'ed. not that you'd notice much difference.
cheers
