Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert has undergone emergency surgery to remove a blood clot after being been diagnosed with a rare vascular disorder. Boebert, well-known for her anti-LGBTQ+ remarks, was taken to a Colorado hospital after experiencing severe swelling in her left leg on Monday (1 April).  Her campaign team said doctors found an acute blood clot and inserted a stent; a tube which keeps an artery open. She was later diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome.

MCYT Physically Disabled Week!!

Day 7: Free Day!

Thanks to the mods of @mcytphysicaldisabilityweek for hosting this event!

I chose free day because I gave Tommy what I have, May Thurner/Nutcracker syndrome! Which is kinda a weird one but here's a quick explanation:

May Thurner is a compression of your iliac vein (in your hip) and Nutcracker Syndrome is a compression of your left renal vein (kidney). While many people actually walk around with these conditions and are fine, a teeny tiny percentage of people, like me, suffer debilitating symptom that include swelling, tachycarida, abdominal, back (<- more common with Nutcracker Syndrome), chest, and leg pain, and severe intolerance of walking, standing, and even sitting upright (hence the near-flat wheelchair, which is actually modeled after the one I use.)

It's not a very fun set of conditions, and it's made worse by the fact that having it severe enough to be treated is extremely rare, and thus there aren't many places that treat it. So for this art chommy is just like me: bedridden and slowly loosing social skills.

If you would like to know more about May Thurner or Nutcracker syndrome, please ask!

Hi, I'm currently drowning in medical debt right now.

I owe nearly $600 in medical debt (ER visit due to torn tendon in foot, cardiologist to rule out May-Thurner syndrome, rheumatologist to refill fibromyalgia meds). Anything helps 🥺

When time, read: [ ] double barrel wet colostomy [ ] appendiceal cancer [ ] malignant bowel protocol [ ] May Thurner syndrome [ ] Po vs IV vs rectal vs vaginal contrast As always, so, so tired. Last "work" night of 5 weeks with a call shift tomorrow. So the night goes oncology night shift > present research @ 0930 > sleep > graduation @ 1800 > call shift.

I'm dreading the whole freaking day. My research proposal is not good. My slides are messed up. It's confusing. I think the study itself will be fine, but a 5 week night float was not the time or place to get my shit together for this. I just hope the program coordinator can find it within herself to update my slides in the morning, or else I'm fucked. And then I'm gonna get such LITTLE SLEEP before I have to go to graduation for 4 hrs and pretend to be in a good mood and socialize. At least my call shift right afterwards is normal R2 crap, antepartum/benign gynecology stuff.

To be honest covering the oncology service has been chill enough the past shift-and-half, except for when it's bad it's BAD and probably the worst service to be on. I like onc nights more than days, though, because there's not a lot of extra people and I can just sit in my little work room upstairs and be alone and read through things. It's mostly covering the OR at the end of the day shift, seeing overnight direct admits and transports, and following up vitals and miscellaneous labs, post-op checks, etc. And then sometimes people surgical emergencies, or people crump or straight up die.

So, a medicine service +/- OR time.

My first night I had two transports: a malignant large bowel obstruction iso newly diagnosed HGSOC that is being managed conservatively given its size <13 cm but also her significant neutropenia due to her neoadjuvant Avastin therapy (her prognosis.... isn't amazing), and a "frequent flier" with recurrent vulvar cancer (and the gnarliest genitourinary anatomy I've seen) s/p MULTIPLE resections, EUAs, ablations admitted with c/f sepsis in the setting of a new perirectal abscess. All things considered it went well enough but my presentations were rocky, like I'd expect them to be for a new R2, but I'm almost R3. I was flustered because they both came at the same time and the LBO made me nervous, so I felt rushed trying to get the other transport tucked in so I only had to call the attending once.

Tonight started out with the potential to be a NIGHTMARE. There were two ORs running late, an exlap followed by an EUA with one attending, and a robotic hyst with another, and then I got sign out on four (4) incoming transports, and I also had four (4) post-op checks all due around the same time. I ended up not having to go to the OR because the exlap said I don't need to scrub anyone out, the EUA was cancelled, and one of the transports came at the same time so my R3 said to see that instead of scrubbing her out.

It's a very sad case, though. I mean, all onc cases are sad, but she was with her dad which just tore at my heart. It's a woman <50 yo, no hx cancer, with 3-4 months of back pain who finally had an ultrasound and CT that showed 3 large abdominopelvic masses and widespread mets. :c She's getting omental biopsies tomorrow. We ultimately think it's appendiceal or some other gastrointestinal malignancy because her CA-125 is only about 180, which for a pre-menopausal woman is low. Another one where the prognosis is not very good.

Actually, none of these people I admitted have good prognoses. I guess that's just how gyne onc is. :-/

The other transports probably aren't coming but I'm going to try and prep them in a second. There's a pelvic fluid collection in a woman 5d s/p a hyst with a post-op course c/b May Thurner syndrome and PE s/p extensive thrombectomy now on Eliquis, another vulvar cancer patient whose left drain fell out and now there is c/f infection in addition to just general failure to thrive, and someone who probably won't come who was found to be hypokalemic apparently on outpatient labs. And then some mystery woman in her 80s that may or may not show up on the ED board with recurrent HGSOC and a GTube for gastrointestinal issues.

3 h til signout, and then I have about 2-2.5 hr to sleep and practice my presentation. I'm ready for this weekend to be overrrrrrrrrrrr

luckily for her, she has excellent healthcare. something she doesn't want you to have

[retsyretsuko]

hi I'm (24 she/her) new here and I don't really know how to use Tumblr but I downloaded it because I'm feeling very alone and hopeless and don't have any friends to talk to. I have POTS, EDS, MCAS, bilateral May thurner syndrome, IC, chronic anemia, AUB, and endometriosis. I'm currently healing from two surgeries. I had to have 4 stents placed due to severe vascular compression. I'm feeling so depressed and tired of being left on read when I try to talk to friends or group chat vent sections about my chronic illnesses ): Abled body people just don't understand me. I need a new support system. I've tried Twitter but it's a cesspool.

Life Update

Today, I got my test results from my CT scan on Wednesday, and it's not great news. I've been diagnosed with Nutcracker syndrome, Median Arcuate Ligament syndrome, May-Thurner snydrome, and possible Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I will not be very active this coming week as I need time to process this news.

While I'm gone, I will be working on requests to distract my mind occasionally. I apologize for such a long wait, and I appreciate the patience you guys give me during my breaks.

Thank you for sticking around and make sure to take care of yourselves. ~Rory

God sent Lauren Boebert that Blessed Blood Clot for a Reason!

See how she mocks and denies His divine plan.

May-Thurner Syndrome is a blessing from our Lord, intended to keep non-swimmers out of the gene pool.

Republican hypocrisy is the design.

GOP politicians take and take, then flip and tell others to do without.

Conditions Treated by Dr. Kunal Arora

Dr. Kunal Arora offers treatment for a wide range of vein conditions, including:

Varicose veins: These are swollen, twisted veins that appear just below the skin's surface, often on the legs. They can cause pain, achiness, fatigue, and swelling.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): This is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs. DVT can cause leg pain, swelling, and redness and can be life-threatening if the clot travels to the lungs.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD): This condition is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries that reduces blood flow to the legs. PVD can cause leg pain, cramping, and difficulty walking.

May-Thurner Syndrome: This is a condition that occurs when the iliac vein, a large vein in the pelvis, is compressed by the iliac artery. This can cause pain, swelling, and blood clots in the leg.
