🙄I’m not rolling my eyes at you, I’m doing my eye exercises! Eye, head, body. I learned this to ride a motorbike. 🏍️ And my brilliant PT had my work on my peripheral vision when I had a knee issue 10 years ago. Thank you i love these mini podcasts to spark the fire🔥
DOC....I always pray when I awaken that GOD will put things before my eyes so I learn how to benefit myself....this morning..... You popped up 😂😂😂.... I hit the back of my head...got concussion and you are helping me deal with it ❤..... doctor in ER sent me home.... said nothing is wrong 😞....but thank GOD I know my body!!!!!
You always give informative, yet useful and easy to implement home care to improve this amazing machine we call the human body. Sending you love and gratitude 💙✨💙✨💙
Thank you for all the wonderful information you gift us! Tried this of course, and could feel the eye muscle fatigue after just 3 pencil pushups! What?! 👀 I'll definitely be adding these excercizes into my daily!
I'm wondering doc if there's a specific routine for the mouth. My 42 year old daughter has inflammation of her gums and needs surgery she was told by 3 dentists , 1 of them a functional dentist. She really doesn't wanna go for the surgery. She has all her teeth , in good shape,, not a single filling at all in her mouth. She had the parasite test done also but it's negative for parasites. We don't understand why she has this issue, having such good teeth . Thanks in advance for responding. 😊
Thank you so much for this! I think its great that your doing this eyes! They're kind of taken advantage of and often overlooked! 😅 No pun intended there! This is very important and everyone should know this!
Thank you so much, Dr Perry. I just discovered you and this is the second wonderful video I have watched this morning. I will definitely be doing this every day. I have had chronic pain for years and my gut tells me I am on to something here. Something really helpful. My gratitude flows out to you in a continual stream.
Thank you so much for sharing this! This could be really helpful and life-changing. I've been suffering from neck stiffness, headaches, blurred vision etc. for a year now and I never found someone who described everything I'm experiencing so well. THANK YOU! I'm going to try the exercise.
You are amazing Dr. Perry! You are prolific with what you produce 🤯🤯 You give so much I ALLways feel hope and excitement after learning from you I just became part of your membership and took the Gut Mojo class this last weekend Wow wow WOW‼️ Incredibly valuable information 💪 Happy Birthday 🥳btw Looking forward to Lymph Mojo in a couple weeks and Blood Mojo in Dec EVERYONE should have this information 🤩 Thank you for all you do May your paths continue to drip with Gold ✨💗
Thank you so much for teaching us these very simple and effective ways to help our body work better... l love it that you are saying always that everything is connected and effective things don't have to be complicated... Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you so much for teaching us how to better care for ourselves! More eye care will be greatly appreciated......the precious gift of vision is key in quality of life!
Thank you! This makes a lot of sense and the pen pushups have instantly made my neck slightly less stiff and my vision clearer. My chronic neck pain comes with lots of visual disturbances. My consultant at the pain clinic at the hospital says my visual problems are most likely psychological from the pain but I didn’t really believe him because most of my pain is in the occipital area and collar bones.
This is great and I can’t believe I came across it. I’m currently getting panicked about my eyes. It’s not a I need glasses thing and they are overstimulating my brain. I’m currently trying to heal from benzo so have lots of fear etc etc and a lot of stress. I cannot release under my skull at back; I generally have insane muscle tension. I’ve been really scared the tension here could have starved my brain stem or cerebrum but also the health anxiety ugh (never had this before this recovery hell. I’m always looking for ways to try to help my body nervous system that is a mess. The eye thing got worse after prolonged stress as did nervous system it feels. Sometimes I feel my skull at base like give, mostly after a long crying spell, and it’s like a relief but doesn’t last. The muscles are like tight rubber, but they all are all over. I’ve tried everything. Thank you for explaining this as I’ve been getting into a state about my eyes.
Thank you for this. I am going to be doing it. I have been having issues for several years with my Atlas and I feel like my eyes are connected. I know my vision has been. I am hopeful this will help.
Oh i remember getting injections in my ovvular nerve in the back of my head for migraines, now i understand better what was going on! The injections were done on the left fir me. Though ut didn't help a whole lot. I started looking for information on migraines and found mine were linked to a magnesium deficiency!
I always knew there was a connection between my eyes and suboccipital muscles. Whenever I applied a warm compress to my eyes, my neck instantly loosened, and I felt normal though only briefly. After that, I wasn't sure what exactly was happening with my eyes or how to address it, especially since my eye tests came back normal. Hopefully, this exercise will provide a lasting solution. Many thanks!
As a survivor of child sexual abuse, my right eye got stuck in a state of hypervigilance always looking behind towards my right side wary of being attacked. This has been the cause of my scoliosis. Sadly, the medical experts don't treat scoliosis as a mind-body issue. They stupidly diagnose most cases of scoliosis as idiopathic (cause unknown) 😢
Wow, this is EXACTLY my experience! I'm also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, dealing with scholiosis and so many mobility issues that I've realized are all connected to my right eye! Sometimes I have a sudden rush of adrenaline and this weird sense of a threat, and it always seems to be coming up on my right side. So I'm under the impression my brain developed a suppression pattern by avoiding to look at a certain point of my visual field, or overly obssessing at a certain point, I'm not sure which one. My visual field just doesn't feel seamless, there is this point of tension there.
I've been enjoying your videos from this and several other channels and learning so much about lymphedema which this 75 year old male has. But also it seems today my vision had dropped back into blurry. Then the title of this podcast caught my 'eye' no pun intended. The only thing I've been doing different is starting the "Big 6". Now I'm wondering if the fluid/energy movement may have caused some detox that is affecting the eyes. Also have had a problem with itchy eyelids for a few years and white goo forming in the corner. That is likely unrelated. But will be doing the pencil exercises. In fact, after doing it a couple of times seems like there was vision improvement actually. Had cataract surgery on both eyes last year, no problems, still use glasses for driving and watching videos if from across the room. Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated. Love your videos and sharing them with others.
Thank you do much for watching. Eyes and lymph are connected. The eye has distinct lymphatic drainage systems in the anterior and posterior compartments. The posterior drainage system drains through the optic nerve sheath to the deep cervical lymph nodes.
Wow! I learned so much from this video, thank you so much. I curious if pencil pushups improve movement efficiency by strengthening and/or stretching the eye muscles? Improving blood flow? 🙏
Any words of help for “eye lid inflammation” Have had 2 partial cornea transplants due to Fuchs Dystrophy ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank. You for all you do!❤️❤️.
Dr Nickelston, thank you so much for the work you do!❤❤❤ Quick question: do you think little kids who have symptoms that don't go away could benefit from this? I think I know the answer already
Thank you! Just what I needed! But as I was doing pencil push-ups, I noticed a trembling. Am not sure whether my hand was trembling or my eyes were jittery. Have been having pain under the skull on the lower right, today. Last week, had an ophthalmological migraine, without headache, the first one in years. Also, for a week, positional vertigo on left, when trying to get out of bed. I know how to stop and fix the vertigo, except it is not supposed to come back each day. Because of fear of vertigo, I have been sleeping on reclining chair or slouched on couch, so not hard to get up, so may be creating posture problems. What can you tell me about the jitteriness. It is just because of the length of my pen, or is it like my mother-in-law used to describe as "dancing eyes"? I never noticed this before.
So when I lay my head back against a pillow or cushion and either get pain or a burst of vertigo and tinnitus (usually with a minute or so delay) this is ultimately blood flow related? Last year my PT gave me pencil push-ups and another exercise for what she called an eye convergence issue. All related, huh? Super helpful videos, Dr P!
Hello, I’ve been having panic attacks lately especially when driving. My vision would start to become a bit blurry, too much light as well too much motion from the road is making me panic and stop driving. Symptoms; I have inflammation on my shoulder and neck feel stiff. Also had some trauma after bad chiropractic session and then new job stressed me even more. Too many hours on computer as well. I had my eyes checked at the optometrist and didn’t find anything wrong just dry eyes. My question is could the panic attack and stress has to do with my eye twitching really fast and painfully and nerves being pinched?? I stopped driving because of this situation and I want to find the root of this. Please help!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@stopchasingpain thank you for your prompt reply! I appreciate it! Apart from taking herbal medication to help with stress would you be able to recommend something in order to eliminate this symptom with the spastic eye twitching when stressed? When it’s about to start, especially when driving it puts me in a state of panick attack and it gets worse 😣
@@Rinoula13I've been experiencing the same thing. I start to panic when my vision gets even a little blurry while driving. It's like I'm in a confused state and I can't focus. The lights from the oncoming cars just make it worse and the eyes start to get tired and dry. Did you find anything to tackle this ?
@@dracostartrekhello, firstly I am really sorry to hear that you are going though the same situation. It’s really a struggle and I feel for you. I personally took some weeks to just rest my nervous system, found seminars of Barbara o Neil that explains what happens with our brain when we have a panic attack and she helped me overcome them. However I haven’t tried driving yet as this is a big traumatic experience for me , but I notice that when I get in the car for somebody else to drive me somewhere, I start to get the eye twitch and can’t handle the lights from cars. Perhaps too much traffic, lights are making me uncomfortable. And I recently saw a video about a girl having same situation and she had BVD Binocular Vision Dysfunction. I will look this up with a neuro-optometrist and see if it’s this. This can come from prolonged stress, misalignment of upper neck and too much screen time. Firstly I would suggest to find the way to take control over your panic attacks, and you can, you can control the thoughts. Just laugh it out even if you don’t feel like it, and then seek a chiropractor and an optometrist to check out if you have BVD. I will keep you updated when I go to optometrist. Otherwise, if I don’t have BVD, it might be the anxiety I get when I am in the car that dilates my pupils allowing more light in and getting a brain fog. I hope you take care of yourself. Try to find the root. Keep me posted. All the best!
@@Rinoula13 Sure. I'll keep you posted. And thanks a lot for taking the time out to reply. Do you also feel like your eye muscles are always fatigued, making you avoid the sun either by wearing sunglasses or not going out at all? I don't know what exactly is the root cause: is it the eyes or the neck? Because they're both interconnected and pain or tension in one spot directly affects the other. When I put a warm compress on my eyes, it just melts away the tension in the posterior neck muscles for some time. On the other hand, when I massage my suboccipital muscles, it kind of eases the tension in the eyes and blurry vision. Have got every test done but everything comes back normal. Don't know what exactly I should do next, should I do exercises that target my neck or my eyes, it's all so debilitating and confusing. Looking at screens has been a nightmare since all it does is make me feel like the back of my neck is pulling and my eyes just dry out and get a little blurry. Are you facing these symptoms and what exactly are you doing to take care of your eyes/ neck right now? Would love to share tips and find a solution together!
Is it true that our muscles and brain need water ? I find that I'm never thirsty and just don't drink. I'm hopeful that your videos are just what I need to help with this chronic daily head and neck pain for over 50 decades. Please answer....thank you.
Thank you! I've been doing your Big 6 every evening and my neck muscles are more relaxed. I'll do this also bc I have a lot of tension in my eyes. Do you think macular degeneration could possibly be helped with the pencil push-ups?
Hello I have this edema swelling on my right cheek since birth. It's lymphedema. I have been using compression garments for a while. What is the best way to drain the fluids from the face and neck (right region)?
Yes I have seen that video. But I'm not sure if my lymph fluids will flow. I have been using compression garments and only noticed few changes. You will be surprised to see how my left side of my facial and the right. It's a big difference. Could you please share me your email address or anything so i could share my facial picture to help you understand my situation. I want the right cheek and neck region to look normal. Please let me know.
I wear one contact for reading in my right eye. Should I do this exercise without it or with it. What if you wear glasses ? I know people I’d like to recommend watching this RUclips who wear glasses and might benefit from this should they should they perform the exercises without the glasses or with the glasses?
Dr. Perry, do you have any insight with astigmatism? My left eye is 20/85 and I am so right eye dominant because it is 20/20. IT causes all kinds of postural problems.
Good question. Once is usually enough. Don't let the simplicity of it fool you. It can be very powerful. Doing it more than once a day may cause an intense detoxification reaction. Which is just where are you overwhelm the body's ability to eliminate the waste. You can work up to twice a day as long as you still feel good
@stopchasingpain okay you've just answered my next question ❓. If someone is doing the big 6 and feeling good, during the detox could they have a MAJOR reaction (like the need for an ER visit ❓)
Is it normal to get a flare up when starting this work? My neck is very sore 2 days in! Do you recommended waiting for it to calm down before carrying on?
As a last activity before sleep at night, I do belly button tapping for vagus nerve activation which triggers rest and digest response and it helped tremendously to my overall health. I have gone through your Big 6, Tongue Circles and this video and I am wondering how should I incorporate all your exercises on videos I just mentioned into my daily routine. Are there any suggestions?
Thanks @@stopchasingpain! I was little worried if it could adversely impact if I do belly button vagus nerve activation exercies, Big 6, Tongue circles and eye exercise, all together in 1 routine? Or it is ok to do Big 6, Tongue Circles and eye exercises in morning and Vagus nerve activation at night?
I did the eyebrow pinching exercises last night and woke up this morning with my eyes and eyelids puffy. Should I be taking some sort of binder after doing these exercises if I have Sjogrens and lymph stagnation?
Thx for this! I'm curious if you think this may help w inflammation stuck in the eyes. My son has inflammation in his eyes & eyelids that's very stubborn & needed steroid drops to control & prevent from damaging cornea. Could increasing blood flow to the eyes help w healing (instead of suppressing w pharmaceuticals?)
How safe / how would this affect if my left brain vein is blocked with a clog? Would this help? I notice change of pressure makes me feel bad (some types of breathing, elevators, vertical posture for too long)
I know that the sigmoid sinus (where is blocked) also affect the reabsorption of Cerebrospinal fluid, adding to the pressure of the diminished blood flow out
Hey Doc, for over 20 years the right side of my forehead shows how hot I get (red), the left side of my forehead is normal (splits right down the middle of my forehead) color but below my forehead on my left side of my face/jaw is pale. My right eye appears to be swollen most of the time. I have gut issues along with mucus production in my esophagus all day and night. I’m currently doing the lymphatic drainage and other tips you’re giving. This all sounds like the glymph/lymph to me. Any other advice?? I’m never without brain fog or a nagging headache

So when I lay my head back against a pillow or cushion and either get pain or a burst of vertigo and tinnitus (usually with a minute or so delay) this is ultimately blood flow related?

Hello, I’ve been having panic attacks lately especially when driving. My vision would start to become a bit blurry, too much light as well too much motion from the road is making me panic and stop driving.
Symptoms;
I have inflammation on my shoulder and neck feel stiff.
Also had some trauma after bad chiropractic session and then new job stressed me even more.
Too many hours on computer as well.
I had my eyes checked at the optometrist and didn’t find anything wrong just dry eyes.
My question is could the panic attack and stress has to do with my eye twitching really fast and painfully and nerves being pinched??
I stopped driving because of this situation and I want to find the root of this.
Please help!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Possibly. The eye muscle respond to stress like any other muscle in the body. They get tighter.
@@stopchasingpain thank you for your prompt reply! I appreciate it! Apart from taking herbal medication to help with stress would you be able to recommend something in order to eliminate this symptom with the spastic eye twitching when stressed?
When it’s about to start, especially when driving it puts me in a state of panick attack and it gets worse 😣
@@Rinoula13I've been experiencing the same thing. I start to panic when my vision gets even a little blurry while driving. It's like I'm in a confused state and I can't focus. The lights from the oncoming cars just make it worse and the eyes start to get tired and dry. Did you find anything to tackle this ?
@@dracostartrekhello, firstly I am really sorry to hear that you are going though the same situation. It’s really a struggle and I feel for you. I personally took some weeks to just rest my nervous system, found seminars of Barbara o Neil that explains what happens with our brain when we have a panic attack and she helped me overcome them. However I haven’t tried driving yet as this is a big traumatic experience for me , but I notice that when I get in the car for somebody else to drive me somewhere, I start to get the eye twitch and can’t handle the lights from cars. Perhaps too much traffic, lights are making me uncomfortable. And I recently saw a video about a girl having same situation and she had BVD Binocular Vision Dysfunction.
I will look this up with a neuro-optometrist and see if it’s this. This can come from prolonged stress, misalignment of upper neck and too much screen time.
Firstly I would suggest to find the way to take control over your panic attacks, and you can, you can control the thoughts. Just laugh it out even if you don’t feel like it, and then seek a chiropractor and an optometrist to check out if you have BVD. I will keep you updated when I go to optometrist.
Otherwise, if I don’t have BVD, it might be the anxiety I get when I am in the car that dilates my pupils allowing more light in and getting a brain fog.
I hope you take care of yourself. Try to find the root. Keep me posted. All the best!
@@Rinoula13 Sure. I'll keep you posted. And thanks a lot for taking the time out to reply.
Do you also feel like your eye muscles are always fatigued, making you avoid the sun either by wearing sunglasses or not going out at all? I don't know what exactly is the root cause: is it the eyes or the neck? Because they're both interconnected and pain or tension in one spot directly affects the other.
When I put a warm compress on my eyes, it just melts away the tension in the posterior neck muscles for some time. On the other hand, when I massage my suboccipital muscles, it kind of eases the tension in the eyes and blurry vision.
Have got every test done but everything comes back normal.
Don't know what exactly I should do next, should I do exercises that target my neck or my eyes, it's all so debilitating and confusing. Looking at screens has been a nightmare since all it does is make me feel like the back of my neck is pulling and my eyes just dry out and get a little blurry.
Are you facing these symptoms and what exactly are you doing to take care of your eyes/ neck right now? Would love to share tips and find a solution together!
Is it true that our muscles and brain need water ?
I find that I'm never thirsty and just don't drink.
I'm hopeful that your videos are just what I need to help with this chronic daily head and neck pain for over 50 decades.
Please answer....thank you.
Yes they do. Water is life.
I seem to feel more focused!
That's excellent. More blood flow helps focus
Are we supposed to see double? Thank you.
No. You will see double in the beginning until your eyes becoming stronger and more balanced. Then you should eventually see one
@@stopchasingpain thank you.
@@stopchasingpain. Whew! I couldn't see 2. I came looking for this question. ☮️💞🙏🏼
I'm seeing double in the background of the pencil. So for example, the plant which is at the other end of the room. Hmm.
Should we see two fingers ? I was doing it all this time like forcing my eyes to see only one the closest i can, its not supposed to be like that ?
Supposed to see one
❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Thank you! I've been doing your Big 6 every evening and my neck muscles are more relaxed. I'll do this also bc I have a lot of tension in my eyes. Do you think macular degeneration could possibly be helped with the pencil push-ups?
Great job
Thank you for the great info! Is it normal to feel nauseas after doing this?
Yes, absolutely that means take it easy
Hello I have this edema swelling on my right cheek since birth. It's lymphedema. I have been using compression garments for a while. What is the best way to drain the fluids from the face and neck (right region)?
Check our BIG 6 video on the channel
Yes I have seen that video. But I'm not sure if my lymph fluids will flow. I have been using compression garments and only noticed few changes. You will be surprised to see how my left side of my facial and the right. It's a big difference. Could you please share me your email address or anything so i could share my facial picture to help you understand my situation. I want the right cheek and neck region to look normal. Please let me know.
Lost me on all of the technicalities. I'm sure it was an amazing video.
Awwww It's not the technical you're smart enough to get that

Thank you lovely to have you here
I wear one contact for reading in my right eye. Should I do this exercise without it or with it. What if you wear glasses ? I know people I’d like to recommend watching this RUclips who wear glasses and might benefit from this should they should they perform the exercises without the glasses or with the glasses?
Without
Should I remove my glasses when doing the eye exercise?
Thank you for this BTW
That's preferable but if it's really difficult to focus and you don't like it you can put them back on
@@stopchasingpain got it. Thank you!
Question. Can I use the big 6 on my toddler or children of all ages? Can I also use the pencil push ups as well?
Sure
Will this help any if I’m blind in my left eye??
If you still have your eye and can move your eyeball yes
What do you do if moving your eyes increases symptoms? I was in vision therapy and made eye pain and neck/back of the head way worse.
That typically means you are doing too much. Have to do less eye exercises. Or you need to stop and focus on something else.
Dr. Perry, do you have any insight with astigmatism? My left eye is 20/85 and I am so right eye dominant because it is 20/20. IT causes all kinds of postural problems.
Thank you for the question. No sorry that is not something I work with in my scope.
How often does someone need to do the big 6?
I noticed you said daily, but would it hurt to do it more than once a day❓
Good question. Once is usually enough. Don't let the simplicity of it fool you.
It can be very powerful. Doing it more than once a day may cause an intense detoxification reaction. Which is just where are you overwhelm the body's ability to eliminate the waste. You can work up to twice a day as long as you still feel good
@stopchasingpain okay you've just answered my next question ❓. If someone is doing the big 6 and feeling good, during the detox could they have a MAJOR reaction (like the need for an ER visit ❓)
Not from a BIG 6. It's not that aggressive.

Thank you. Grateful. Hope you enjoy the channel and future videos and appreciate all feedback
Is it normal to get a flare up when starting this work? My neck is very sore 2 days in! Do you recommended waiting for it to calm down before carrying on?
Yes eye stuff is powerful. High stimulation to the brain and nervous system. Yes wait
As a last activity before sleep at night, I do belly button tapping for vagus nerve activation which triggers rest and digest response and it helped tremendously to my overall health. I have gone through your Big 6, Tongue Circles and this video and I am wondering how should I incorporate all your exercises on videos I just mentioned into my daily routine. Are there any suggestions?
Good job. No suggestions just start doing them on a regular basis
Thanks @@stopchasingpain! I was little worried if it could adversely impact if I do belly button vagus nerve activation exercies, Big 6, Tongue circles and eye exercise, all together in 1 routine? Or it is ok to do Big 6, Tongue Circles and eye exercises in morning and Vagus nerve activation at night?
Pain is a teacher
1000%
If I wear glasses to I wear them while doing this or not.
We talk about that in the video I believe. You can do without it and with.
Did this help with nerve problems in fathers eye (left eye)and also can we do this in cataracted operated eye(righteye)
Will be a good start but there are many more eye exercises you can do to help.
@@stopchasingpain thank u so much
🙏
Thank you for watching

I did the eyebrow pinching exercises last night and woke up this morning with my eyes and eyelids puffy. Should I be taking some sort of binder after doing these exercises if I have Sjogrens and lymph stagnation?
You are blocked in lymph lower. You need to do our BIG 6 Lymph Reset first. See our prior video
Thx for this! I'm curious if you think this may help w inflammation stuck in the eyes. My son has inflammation in his eyes & eyelids that's very stubborn & needed steroid drops to control & prevent from damaging cornea. Could increasing blood flow to the eyes help w healing (instead of suppressing w pharmaceuticals?)
That's difficult to say. However I will say whenever you optimize blood flow to anything it always functions better
thx for the reply! I've had him start the big 6 a few days so let's see how he does! @@stopchasingpain
You are pukka 👍🏽love from London ☺️
awww thank you so much 😊
I just realized after much research that my chronic lyme caused my 6th nerve palsy----
I hope your journey of healing helps it resolve.
Really appreciate this content.. But does this help improve or preserve vision?
Thank you very much. Not necessarily but the eyes don't move without muscles and when your muscles are balanced you can change vision.
I have convergence insufficiency and high astigmatism in my one eye. Can’t do any desk jobs
Yes those can make working on the computer much more challenging
Can this be helpful if one has a macular pucker?
Not likely
thank you for this!
I have a question.
What if i dont see two pencils as it gets closer to my nose?
It only gets blurred and harder to focus.
You stop when it gets blurry or hard to focus. Eventually it will get easier
@@stopchasingpain thank you!
doing the exercise every day(:
How safe / how would this affect if my left brain vein is blocked with a clog? Would this help? I notice change of pressure makes me feel bad (some types of breathing, elevators, vertical posture for too long)
I know that the sigmoid sinus (where is blocked) also affect the reabsorption of Cerebrospinal fluid, adding to the pressure of the diminished blood flow out
Moving nthe eyes won't be any problem
Hey Doc, for over 20 years the right side of my forehead shows how hot I get (red), the left side of my forehead is normal (splits right down the middle of my forehead) color but below my forehead on my left side of my face/jaw is pale. My right eye appears to be swollen most of the time. I have gut issues along with mucus production in my esophagus all day and night. I’m currently doing the lymphatic drainage and other tips you’re giving. This all sounds like the glymph/lymph to me. Any other advice?? I’m never without brain fog or a nagging headache
Sounds like lymph and sympathetic nervous system issues. Try to attend our Lymph Mojo course this coming weekend
@@stopchasingpainthank you!
@@stopchasingpain I just found your neck release video! You turned off the comments though 😂. Can’t blame you. We are needy.
