A two-year-old boy who is being kept alive by Viagra, faces an uncertain future because of proposed cuts by the Government's drug rationing body agency.

Oliver Sherwood has the sex drug crushed into his food four times a day to control pulmonary hypertension (PH), a rare condition that causes chronic high blood pressure.

Viagra improves blood flow, which boosts erectile function in adults, but also helps open the veins and capillaries to aid circulation in rare cases such as Oliver's.

Oh man, won't this mean he will have to be on Viagra daily for life? Or at least until his blood pressure balances?

Have you read the article? His blood pressure cannot balance and people with this disease are not supposed to live more than 5 years. Plus, soon Viagra might not be enough to help him.

*im aware that im using the wrong ad for the wrong ED pill... but out of the 3 billion out there who can tell?

---serious---

now that that's out of the way... how did they stumble across this "cure" and if they stop making Viagra can't some other pharmaceutical company just make some more?

Actually, it's the other way around. Viagra (or the active substance in Viagra) was first intended to use against high blood pressure. I guess the the test subjects got some well known side effects and the rest is history.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
