Doctor with 20 Years Experience Reveals Hidden Causes of Symptoms
Uncovering the Hidden Causes Behind Your Symptoms Join me as I dive deep into my own symptoms and try to uncover what’s really going on behind them. When we’re not feeling well, we often focus on the symptoms themselves, trying to alleviate the discomfort or pain they’re causing. But what if I told you that those symptoms might be more than just isolated issues? What if they’re actually…

#waiting to drive large bastard to the hospital for an emergency biopsy#apparently some testing stuff hasn't gone well this week#and there are symptoms of rejection#nothing to panic about because steps at this point are testing and meds adjustment#but that means we're just both sitting around feeling pre-dread

I don’t understand why the hotel didn’t call an ambulance, the first time Liam came down acting erratic and passing out/convulsing. that’s clearly a medical issue?? like I know it was drug and alcohol induced but that’s still a medical issue and they should have called whatever the Argentina equivalent of 911 is. I wonder if they would have handled it differently if he had been sober and was still passing out/acting strange. it makes me think it’s some stigma thing surrounding substance abuse. so sad and tragic and could have been prevented in many different ways
I agree; both that they should have handled it SO differently (and treated it as the medical issue it clearly was at that point) and that the stigma of intoxication was absolutely why they didn't. It's so fucking sad.
#this is such a fucking universal problem too calling the cops instead of medical help when someone is intoxicated#you see it here (USA) every fucking time too#and what happens as a result PEOPLE DIE#OVER AND OVER#hey everyone: NEVER CALL THE FUCKING COPS#and (US and UK at least) if someone is having some kind of an episode or ODing#call emergency services and JUST SAY someone is having trouble breathing or similar that will tell them it is urgent#DO NOT MENTION DRUGS#if you mention you think drugs may be involved they will send cops as well as medical responders#and it will make everything much much worse and they might arrest you for trying to help#when the medical peopel are on site that is when you give them the info which they will need about substances#but on the phone only describe symptoms and what is happening#no extra detail#cw death details

as someone with lifelong chronic illnesses that have bailed me out of some awkward situations in my time, sometimes i feel the need to be like hey universe!!!! listen up!!!! i do NOT want to be rescued from this scenario by getting sick!!!! i mean you know i'll always be grateful for that one time with the midterms, i understand you're trying to be on my side here when you hit the eject button using a whole stick of dynamite, BUT NOT THIS TIME!! I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT BUT I'M GOOD!!
#I AM NOT REQUESTING EMERGENCY EVACUATION!! I DO NOT WISH TO EJECT FROM THE PLANE!#i know some chronically ill people really can't relate to this. like it is always a 100% bad experience for them to get sick#but i will say i had some conveniently timed hospitalizations when i was a kid#like i wasn't faking. i didn't engineer my blood oxygen level. it was just like the hand of god came down and said#actually this child should not have to go on that field trip with a teacher she doesn't really like#this seems like a good time for seven days in the pediatrics ward#and i was grateful the whole time :)#i have to substitute tomorrow in a room where a bunch of people tested covid positive this week and others refuse to mask#which is whatever but this happening WHILE there are other emotional things in my life makes me want to be clear#the symptoms

Modern au
Okay so Manon started taking birth control soon after puberty (it happened when she was 15 but she was already sexually active so she had to be careful) so really, in essence, she only experienced periods a couple of times before she stopped having them altogether.
When she and Dorian decided to conceive, she went off of birth control. Having her period for the first time in over a decade was a jarring experience for Manon. She was in a lot of pain, she was feeling nauseous, she was feeling dizzy and the entire thing was awful.
Dorian called Asterin in panic, because is she supposed to be in so much pain??? Asterin assured him that painkillers, sleep, and hot drinks were all he needed. He was still skeptical though, because that sounded too simple for what appears to be a serious problem.
Needless to say, he was fussing over Manon the whole time. Making sure she's comfortable, timing the painkiller doses, providing all kinds of drinks, and helping her get some sleep in the middle of all of that.
#booklr#books and reading#throne of glass#manon blackbeak#tog#dorian havilliard#manon x dorian#manorian#asterin blackbeak#asterin found it amusing but also not#because if he's fussing and freaking out over period crams then bro is not ready for pregnancy and birth#but also she reasoned that this should get him used to how things might be#honestly asterin found the whole thing cute but she kept that thought to herself#slightly teasing dorian but also giving him tips on how to handle things and when to actually go to the hospital#manon dealing with periods for the very first time well into adulthood was not a fun experience#she hated every moment of it and honestly thought she might die from this because why is she in so much pain???#he also called Aelin for the same thing because he wasn’t very convinced#aelin told him the same thing basically#did he stop? no#he called yrene next and honestly just turned the whole thing into an emergency situation#he was 100% certain that yrene was going to tell him to take Manon to the hospital#but she didn’t she only said if certain symptoms show up then it’s probably an emergency but other than that just so what Asterin said#he really can’t stand and do nothing while Manon is in pain he feels very helpless

private clinics in costa rica really treat you right, during the vacation portion after classes were over i caught a local stomach bug and i remember one of the nurses touching my arm going pobrecita :( and then they gave me amazing pain meds and sent me home with a giant jug of juice to drink, and anyway i just had my first er visit in appalachia and the vibe was honestly similar
#they actually gave me pain meds i couldn't believe it#i was crying on the phone to my mom bc i've gone in for this exact issue before when i lived in the midwest and they never did anything#but everyone was nice to me!!!#and they didn't know what was wrong but they still treated the symptoms anyway#basically i have some kind of issue where my stomach gets so bloated that it physically hurts and i get nauseated#and normally i can manage it with otc stuff but it was really bad for some reason this time#my track record with urgent/emergency care has made me extremely mistrustful#i am never anything but polite and the condescension... i wish i could trade places and see if they'd be as nice as me :)#i just wish i knew what would trigger this stomach thing so i could never do it ever again

it's absolutely astonishing to me that three different specialists don't think anything is urgently wrong with my 30 year old partner having to get up 2-8 times per night to pee and also compulsively moving all his limbs every 30 seconds both asleep and awake. i already know what his diagnosis is and it's not fuckin sleep apnea, his prostate has been checked medically and it's totally healthy so it's clearly irritation or a nerve/spasmodic issue. it's severe periodic limb movement disorder + possible neurological complications + overactive bladder. in toto, his nerves are fucked up, idiopathically, which isn't surprising because he was hit by a bus a few years ago. but sleep apnea is what they tried to treat him for anyway. it did not work. i don't understand why every doctor is a moron and every sleep doctor is a moron with a side of caved-in head syndrome.
#literally treat the symptom#its not difficult#throw a combination of sedatives and dopaminergics and antiinflammatories at it this isnt hard#blog#why do they think 'not sleeping' isnt a medical emergency

#medical in tags#so it's been. a day.#avoided an ER trip <3#bp was 117/91 resting. so a bit high on the diastolic (120/80 is the standard). also narrow pulse pressure.#(not enough space in between the numbers)#which on its own? whatever. usual POTS weirdness. I'm always a bit narrow (but usually much lower).#but ALSO my heart rate was resting at about 90 and I was shaky and having nosebleeds#which. kind of elevates the situation a bit. lol.#I got better after a beta blocker and intense hydrating but I had to call my mom once the nosebleed hit.#I get them randomly all the time but in conjunction with the other symptoms it was worrying.#and I got better- or at least my symptoms subsided after a beta blocker- but it's Not Good when your EMT mother is worried!#she has seen All The Things. she knows when something's an emergency and when it's just otc meds worthy.#so to hear her giving me clear orders of what to do in her EMT voice over the phone was... not good :)#anyways. doing better now but still kind of spooked.#i've been watching too much house md. i need to stop for a bit lol it makes my own medical anxiety so much worse#BUT IT'S INTERESTINGGGGGGG. on s3. i need tritter dead.

#also i'm in this weird place with the vision issues and eye strain headaches where the medical anxiety in me is like 'should i go to the er'#because there is a small but non-zero chance that it could indicate a serious neurological concern#but at the same time i don't want to bother er docs if it truly is just 'stop reading pdfs and looking at your phone all the goddamn time'#but it doesn't help that one time i had chest pain and didn't go to the er for several days b/c i was like 'i'm 20 and healthy so i'm fine'#turned out i had a spontaenous pneumothorax that had developed into a tension pneumo and they had to do an emergency chest tube#so since then i'm always like. maybe i should be concerned when concerning symptoms happen#my pcp did make a referral to a neurologist just in case but they can't get me in for almost 2 months if it's not an emergency situation#having a body is exhausting

Going to keep an eye on things while on a newly prescribed medicine for my heart, but occasionally I've been feeling like crying from joy/relief. I didn't know it was possible to live with little to zero chest pain and other issues on a daily basis.
I started feeling its improvements on day 2, and then all day yesterday has been like a literal weight off my chest. Slept a bit for the night, woke up around 4am and I'm just... Breathing so comfortably. I feel relaxed. That feeling of pressure in my chest is hardly there anymore.
This cardiologist said I'd notice changes after just a day or two if it helps. And it's happening!!
Guess it's very much confirming I've had pericarditis for who-knows-how-long. Could've been overlooked since having my cardiac ablation in 2019. Been so freaking rough living with this stuff. All my symptoms were assumed to be part of my WPW Syndrome ('cause the ablation didn't get all of the accessory pathways.) This sort of inflammation can be caused by heart procedures though. -sigh- Why didn't anyone watch out for that or suspect it earlier?
I'll be having a new echo done in a month or two (forgot which appointment date it is among other tests coming up). Crossing my fingers I don't have the pericardia effusion there anymore too if the pericarditis is getting tackled by this new med! 🤞
#for some reason no one could confirm the pericarditis part with all these test and checkups I've done since-#-the WPW diagnosis and emergency procedure in my 2019 hospital stay#everyone assumed my symptoms were from WPW syndrome and that this random bit of fluid around my heart sac was just idiopathic#but this cardiologist I went to on Tuesday questioned me on a few things and got VERY suspicious about my condition#so she took a huuuuge guess of confidence in letting me try a safe dose of some med for pericarditis and other heart diseases#I let myself test that theory too... 'Cause something about my symptoms haven't felt all the fault of my WPW#it's been frustrating for so long man#if this relief and recovery keeps up I might actually get to feel safe exercising again and keeping my heart healthy without pain#I NEED to do physical activity and cardio especially with all the heart diseases that run in the family#but also I genuinely like exercise and wanna do strength training... I've felt so empty and dead inside without my fitness lifestyle I had-#-before my heart problems got so bad at the end of high school#that's how long it's been dude#that in itself is a long story uuughhh#wk speaks#feelings#personal#medicine#physical health#cardiology

brief survey
*common symptoms include:
physiological - lingering chest pain, shortness of breath, lingering cough, heart palpitations, abnormal heart rate
neurological - brain fog, general cognitive decline, fatigue, language/word retrieval issues, short term and long term memory issues, abnormal executive dysfunction, difficulty concentrating, exacerbation of pre-existing depression or anxiety
**if you first contracted covid before vaccines were available, you can count it as unvaccinated
#poll#polls#covid#long covid#inspired by my realization that i can pinpoint exactly when i first got covid#because despite having a photographic memory i literally do not remember anything between early april and late august 2020#-wait thats more or less the exact 6 month timeframe of early long covid symptoms#the lung issues at least are mostly-gone but recent reinfection hit hard with language/cognition symptom resurgence#i think reinfection was around may 2023#...and guess what that's getting close to 16 months#so i'm guessing this round is an 18 month reinfection#i noticed there seems to be a lot of anecdotes of doctors refusing/being unable to treat long covid#im curious if the frequency of this sort of thing has increased after 2020 in particular?#since pretty much every healthcare professional got hit by early unmitigated/pre-vaccine L/alpha covid strains#and probably dealt with subsequent reinfection if working in high exposure risk environments like urgent/emergency med#anecdotally i have noticed that the med field people less practically/physically involved in treatment (vaccine researchers vs physicians)#seem to be less 'off' in general? idk#i feel like it's just not emphasized enough how much of a risk it is that everyone involved in treating & studying covid#probably has or had long covid at some point

Being chronically ill is such a weird experience. I’ve spent over 6 years of my life explaining to everyone I’ve met that I will be sick for the rest of my life. And yet somehow, having a new symptom pop up after a year of being stable with minimal flares, has devastated me. I don’t know why I assumed a life-long illness would be manageable by the time I turned 20 but that’s simply not the case.
#it was probably a mix of denial and arrogance#but for some reason I thought I could just stick to treatment the rest of my life without any changes#also my new symptom emerged at the eye doctor which at least for me is the weirdest spot to have a breakdown but it was warranted#ehlers danlos#ehlers danlos syndrome#hypermobile ehlers danlos#chronic illness
