Thanks for the video Erin! If you take frozen berries and blend them with a non-dairy chocolate milk (oat, almond, etc.) to an ice cream consistency, it makes a nice treat. Maybe not as healthy as you were looking for, but healthier than ice cream I think.

Sending you and son positive vibes. Ive recently been diagnosed with MS and ive been doing lots of MRIs which are full body. While youre inside, they have air blowing so you dont feel so trapped and they offer headphones and put the music you like. Hopefully thats an option for him. That helped me a lot. I would close my eyes and focus on the music. They also give you a heads up when not to move. Please let your son know that its also bigger than he thinks so he wont feel trapped. Let me know if he has any more questions and i will gladly give more of my experience.

Do you have Vanness White Lightening? That’s an option to add lubrication. A small amount goes a very long way! My second suggestion is to try it in a different pen. Diamine inks are not typically dry so ruling out if it’s that pen/nib could be helpful!

I had issues with flow in my Opus 88 too with a medium nib, but someone told me to keep the knob open--or open it more than I think I need to, and I've been doing that with great success with both pens I tried it with. My Opus 88 Pink is filled with an Iroshizuku ink, and the Mini is filled with a colorverse ink, and it's felt a lot better leaving it open. Could also try a brass shim, if you haven't tried that already. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
