I’d suggest learning to reflow onto a copper star and build your own pills to upgrade your fav lights. Very rewarding stuff that!
Dude, listen, stay focused on the positives and you’ll beat the negatives. Take a look at my handmade .50 Cal BMG light that I just made for Old-Lumens challenge. (DBCstm handmade build... Finished Light w/stand end of thread 6-21-13) I’d never done anything like that before! Stayed busy for days, now I want to do more. How is this relevant? I have a fairly severe muscle movement disorder that’s been trying to shake my brains out my ears for the last 14 years! At one point I had a torn left pectoral for 2 years, muscle spasms wouldn’t give me a break for nothing! My memory sucks because I’ve had thousands of mico-concussions (and some not so micro), and I take Ativan to knock me out when in the grips of the spasms…sort of my reset button.
Find something that you like, and throw yourself at it. What most of us don’t want to look at is the simple fact that we’re all here on borrowed time, so make the most of it and leave a legacy. Kick butt in the things folks say you can’t do!
Okay how would I add copper braid to tail springs?im feeling a lot better today the shock has worn off I’ve taken meds they make me sleepy and tired but God willing I can live with it these here lights are great and I see a lot of ther peoe have afflictions and this is therapy for them and im willinng to try.

You’ve already been through a lot, you can do this too. Keep your head up and keep moving forward.
Let us know if the new meds work.
Good luck and God Bless

God Bless Brother. Such a difficult thing to endure and I can timagine your thoughts at this moment. Thank you for sharing some personal information with us and know that we ALL FEEL FOR YOU. It’s always touching to see everyone group together for something as simple as a few kind words from our mouths to gods ears.
Whether or not the individuals believe in god or prayer, their thoughts are with you.
I wish you the best of luck with all your struggles, and wish you all the happiness you can recieve. Remember the little things that bring you joy, pain and struggle only makes those things more enjoyable.
A staunch believer in prayer thank you for yours and again there are ma y others who never post about their health issues a d also keep ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS in prayer but. I would like to mention this is why iam glad this is the only forum I belong to! Great people and attitudes here which I am grateful for
I’ve followed this site for a little while now and have signed up in order to send you my best wishes.I have only recently discovered the joys of contemporary LED and battery technology,thanks to the lively and informative posts on this forum, so I can’t really help you with any practical advice on the torch front. What I would say is that I have my own health problems and,as a result of which,have been to some very dark places. I was touched to read your comments and the solace you take from this group because I certainly share that feeling. I believe there is a real sense of community here, underpinned by very many open and genuine people.That makes it a special place! So, keep in touch - I’m sure we all wish you well.
Nothing at all inappropriate, sharing your struggles to a sympathetic ear or in this case, empathetic keyboards . . . and a whole lot of them. You've been here plenty long enough to be counted among us.
In comfort or any measure of healing, prayer does work.
Interesting, i saw many threads ripped out including part of my posts by foul causes….
One was the motive which I stopped to post there, I just say the price of the one light here in my country (10x more than normal, over R$340) and they deleted part of my post with “excuse” “political comentary removed”…… sad.
