Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

@Shannon, can the latest GPR sub treat pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis tangibly?

My Mother has an awful case of it, and due to past situations with Cancer and other stuff, she can't take pain meds for it.

Thank you, Shannon!

I've had people test it against RA in the past but that was a few versions ago. Haven't had any testers for that for the last couple versions. Good news is, even the version that was trusted against it seemed to achieve at least moderate pain relief. I think that was Prototype 12 or 14. So should work relatively well when the joints are not in use. Not sure what it will do while they are in use.

I can attest that GPR Elwood (for me) has helped with multiple - albeit minor(ish) - pain issues.  Headaches, back pain, leg cramps, GERD.  I like it a lot.  My wife, however (a hard resistor), hasn't responded.

Should be interesting to see how she responds to GPR-P20.  Gonna be a lot of changes from 18.

I see, thanks Shannon.

So it's kinda unknown what it will do, okay. I know the versions over time have changed, and I recall you telling people in posts that certain GPRs do certain things better (can't pull up the old posts on that) so not sure what to expect with GPR and RA.

You mention GPR-20, is that being released soon or is that just a thought about a future program down the road type of thing? Will it do a better job specifically for RA? Or is it aimed at something else with pain?

BONUS: I saw your encouraging news about DMSI! Any more information you can elaborate on about this new method and anything else in regards to DMSI? This is welcome news, any kind of development is excellent to hear about!

Well first... based on previous testing, GPR P-18 should work well for RA, but it is still known to be weak with sources of pain that are being actively aggravated.  Just had no reports on RA for a while.

GPR-P20 is not in queue for build for a while yet.  I can't know what it will do for certain until we actually test it IRL, but I have a significantly better understanding of how to make it work now, and the skeleton script and build methods will be significantly upgraded as well.

The idea I'm working on vetting for trying to achieve outward facing FRM is just a hypothetical right now.  I'm trying to figure out if it's worth actually trying.  I'd love to tell you more, but I can't do that without giving away too much, and we don't even know if it will work well enough to try yet.  However, what I can say is, if it does prove to be worth trying, and it works, it should solve several issues I'm dealing with in one fell swoop.  I do not expect it to be the whole solution, but it would be about 5/6ths of the solution if it works as intended.  Will know more after building this month's program and LTUv6 Stage 5.  In the mean time, I'm just doing a super long modeling run on the concept.  Computer's been up 43 days now, and that is also an experiment: does running a question for super long time continue to increase the accuracy of the answer?  How accurate can we get?
