PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- DEV IS BACK
NCR, India, Nov 9th 2026: I am thrilled, relieved and a little suspicious to announce that I am now Finally Getting Better! I have been feeling like a phone with only 4% battery for far too long but I can confirm that I am now starting to feel much better.
This is not a medical statement, a miracle cure or asking you to ask me to run a marathon. However it is an official announcement that I am no longer waking up feeling like I’ve lost a battle with my blanket.
"Today, I am pleased to report that I have upgraded to mostly functional, with occasional moments of ambition!" I said in an exclusive interview. I am slowly getting better. While I was hoping there would be fireworks, a marching band and my immune system sending me a personal strength message, I am getting better due to taking time out, better habits, less terrible decisions and realising that I’m not actually a machine that will run forever on medical diet and meds.

I’m sleeping better, my brain is clearer and I’m not having quite as many crazy conversations with myself about moving into a blanket fort. My body seems to have got the memo that pushing myself isn’t a great business model. I am getting better. No, I’m not getting super better (I can’t scale mountains, not yet), however I’m getting better so I can plan, laugh and potentially leave my house and Steemit of course.
Moving forward I will continue to get better, but I won’t be annoying. I will take breaks, hydrate to help flush kidney stones and not take anything as a sign that I get chosen by the system. This is not the end of the story. This is the start of a new chapter where I’m not going to be off sick as much, have more energy and hopefully no more press statements!
My Steemit family and friends have been notified because some were excited, others have asked if this means that I’ll start replying to messages, attending plans and stop saying "I’m fine" when clearly I’m not.
Special Note: I’ve asked my Steemian friends to keep their hopes alive, I’m not applying for curatorship for next few months, so nothing to worry about.
I announce that I'm finally getting better,

Dev, National Capital Region, India
I invite @mvchacin @wakeupkitty @mahadisalim @solperez and @goodybest
Note- Currently taking well wishes, treats (read cash) and no requests for me to do something just quickly. Not until February, 2027.
Are you sure? When exactly you have been absent?
Not reading underneath the blanket? It is clear to me, why the two of you fight.
Since you are officially announced better (not cured, not healthy) it is time you change the bed yourself.
Interesting to hear you have Steemit friends hoping you will be a curator. 🤔 Did you just give proof of corruption?
Last questions, since you officially announced finally getting better based of no struggle with the blanket 😐 (just a sheet?): to what exactly I am invited?
P.s. in the nearest future no SC for me, I have to pack, find a flight and survive the winter.
P.p.s. it is good to hear you are on your way to climb mountains and are still addicted to Steemit.

Sure if you go to my profile page you can check I was absent for 8 days in last 18 days and posted 5 in 12 previous days. I hope that explains I posted only 13 in 30 days of October against my 30 in normal situation. Now I am on bed but posting regulary and even helping my wife in household things.
Special Note: I’ve asked my Steemian friends to keep their hopes alive, I’m not applying for curatorship for next few months, so nothing to worry about.
It means I have no plan to apply for next few months at least not until March, and then I have my plans to take an army project (April, 27) in India so I will have very little time.
I love hearing your thrashings which is keeping me glued to this site is one of the main reasons 😄Have a great time with your loved ones.
I am open to have more such treats from you so give me more. Have a great time with your loved ones 🎉
Do you get kidney stones?
I get them from time to time
Yes I do, I have taken one surgical opertion decades ago, a lethotripsy 6 years later my first operation and they removed my gal bladder years later. I have problem of high uric acid. Thanks for everything. I guess my intake of wine and beer especially in Australia makes it worse.
That is painful. How about some milk before you go to bed?
Oh Mr Dove! This is good news! I'm so so happy to hear that you're finally getting better. I can imagine how exhausting it is not to be your real self for months. Please, take all the time you need, and don't rush the healing process. Your health is so important and as such comes first. You know what? We want to have you around for a very long time.
By the way, how are the kidney stones? Are you still experiencing pain or discomfort, even after removing them? I hope you're getting the right treatment and taking good care of yourself.
My best wishes to you, and may you have a speedy recovery! Note we'll gladly wait until February for your return to full action. No pressure! 😂❤️
No pain no nothing because i caught them in formation stage but this is my old problem as stones have recuring tendncy as time passes by. Nothing to worry! Thanks for all the concerns and sweet wors, have a great time with your loved ones.
It's good to know. Please do have a great day too!
Thanks @uzma4882 ji
Although I'm not one of your friends on Steemit, I'm glad you're feeling better. Health is the most important thing. By the way, I'll send you a picture of a seed that is a remedy for kidney stones. I can vouch for it; perhaps it exists in your country. Unfortunately, I don't know its name.
Thanks, it's not necessary to be a friend to pass on a suggestion so your suggestion is welcome. I am not sure what seed is this or if it's available in my area besides I have stone problem due to excesses of Uric Acid so I handle it as per my doctor/surgeon's priscription. Thanks again.
I hope you take it well, because I did it with good intentions. Seriously, if you can research that seed, do it, because it's an effective remedy for kidney problems, grit, and stones.
If you're interested, I could mail it to you next time I'm in Asunción. Get well soon.
The image shows Mucuna seeds, commonly ox-eye beans, bull's-eye, is it?
It looks very similar. I'll do a search with my original photo to see if it confirms it.
My search yielded the same result. Perhaps you could consult with an Ayurvedic medicine practitioner to clear up any doubts.
In that case-
These are results for does it help remove kidney stoes Mucuna seeds, commonly ox-eye beans, bull's-eye,
No, there is no scientific evidence that Mucuna seeds (such as ox-eye beans, Mucuna urens, or velvet beans, Mucuna pruriens) can dissolve or remove kidney stones. Furthermore, consuming Mucuna seeds carries significant risks of kidney toxicity and poisoning, especially if eaten raw or in high doses.

Evidence and Safety Risks
Lack of Efficacy for Stones. While Mucuna species are studied for neurological and antioxidant properties, clinical research does not support their use for breaking down or passing kidney stones.
Potential Kidney Damage. Animal studies evaluating both Mucuna urens (ox-eye bean) and Mucuna pruriens seed extracts have found that high or prolonged doses can cause degenerative changes in kidney tissue, tubular damage, and reduced kidney clearance. Public health agencies, such as the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), specifically advise against using Mucuna seed extracts if you have kidney problems.
Toxicity and Side Effects. Mucuna seeds contain high levels of levodopa (L-DOPA) and anti-nutrients. Ingesting raw or improperly prepared seeds can cause acute poisoning, severe nausea, vomiting, blood pressure drops, and neurological symptoms like confusion or abnormal movements.

Safer Approaches for Kidney Stones
If you are trying to manage or pass a kidney stone, proven medical and dietary approaches are much safer:
That's what I am doing. Thank you.
Good luck! In any case, nowadays laser surgery is often done without the need for major surgery, as far as I understand! Take care.
Thanks, I have already gone through Kidney laser surgery called lethotripsy and also robotic surgery of my galblader. Have a great time. As I said I have genetic Uric Acid problem, the stones recure over time.
