2024.05.15 04:20 dgonzo03 How often does your teen get sick!?
Hello ! I was hoping to get some feedback on this. It seems like since December of this past year my son (15) always seems to get sick, he got covid in December and then he gets a cold what seems like every few weeks. I dunno what’s too much to get sick. Never really has fevers but he has sore throat, head aches and he just feels awful.hes sick again right now and they tested him for strep and covid and both negative Dr just says kids just get sick. But I thought that really only happened in school age children ??

2024.05.15 04:02 CasualRSL I just spent 6 days in the hospital for mystery parasthesia and pain. Is it actually just guillaine-barre syndrome?
Hello! I am a 28 year old male. I just spent 6 days admitted to the hospital with concerns about a cardiac event because I was having facial parasthesia (tingling, numbness), the same sensation in my left arm and to a less frequent extent, my right arm. I also experience lower jaw and tooth pain, but I can’t tell if this is a symptom or if it is secondary to the swollen tonsils and adenoids.
For context, my wife and son recently got sick. My wife was very sick. Enough so that she sometimes cried about how much her throat hurt and even got a couple of chest x-rays for pneumonia. She was tested for every common illness because she had an insanely painful sore throat, a VERY bad cough, a whisper quiet lost voice and her tonsils were huge. The only result that showed was that she had a past EBV infection at some point.
I also got sick, of course. However, things went differently for me. I got sick and developed a bad sorrow throat and that was about it. This continues to this day, which is 12 days later. It’s still quite bad. My tonsils are also huge, but not as big as they were. I have tonsil secretions but I had more before.
A few days into my sore throat, my left face began to tingle. It was… weird. No pain, nothing else really. Just tingle. Later on in the day, my lip went numb. I went to the ER thinking that I was stroking out or something but the CT was fine and they sent me home.
The very next day, my left arm started to tingle and hurt and my arm starting from under my armpit medially(if supinated) running down my upper arm but not below my elbow started to ache. My shoulder had sensations of cold as well. The tinglng sensation continues and it runs down to my hand where I feel pain that that travels around but is mainly in my palm, thumb and fourth/fifth finger. This also occurs in my right arm. In fact, it’s happening right now. Both sides of my face are tingling as well.
To be clear, Yale’s cardiology team did a very extensive workup including s PET/CT nuclear stress test, echocardiogram, several EKG’s, maybe a dozen troponins a chest X-ray. No cardiac pathology was revealed. The only thing that was somewhat weird is that my symptoms were alleviated several times by nitroglycerin, but this may very well be psychosomatic due to my extreme anxiety over it being cardiac in nature and causing panjc attacks that the nitroglycerin calmed by lowering my BP and distracting me with low BP symptoms, honestly. I am a very anxious individual and I was very laser focused on it being cardiac pain because of the location. So much so that I did not even think of the possibility of my illness being related during my hospitalization. They did test me for strep and COVID and it was negative but given the fact that my wife was negative for EBV, they did not think it necessary.
I am wondering if perhaps this mystery infection could have triggered GBS? I do see a neurologist but my closest available appointment is three months from now.
So, what do you fine people think? Do these symptoms sound like potential GBS? If so, would gabapentin help? How can I go about making this easier for myself? I do have an RX for that. Thanks for reading.

2024.05.15 03:58 tuskstevie Throat/potential esophagus pain after eating
Hello,
I, 27 female, have been experiencing pain in my throat/potentially esophagus every time I eat. I started experiencing this in late April after a month or so of a lot of phlegm/clearing my throat after eating anything. It feels almost like a physical pain and below my jaw is painful to touch. It’s definitely not a typical sore throat. I went to urgent care and she told me since I am having ear pressure, phlegm and eczema on my eye (which I’ve never had before) that it was allergies. Flonase and Zyrtec haven’t been working infact Flonase seems to make my throat worse. I went to the ER after choking on food/intense pain and he told me it was GI not allergy at all. They want me to schedule an endoscopy but I’m not 100% whatever I have is being caused by GI. Im also taking famotidine for acid reflux and that seems to have given me way more reflux in my mouth than I’ve ever had. Oddly enough, around the first week of may the pain went away for about a week (only left by a sore jaw when I touched it), but it came back this weekend in full force. My throat is always in pain to the point where I’m not eating at all just to get through my work days so i can speak properly. Even drinking water usually hurts the right side of my throat. If anyone can offer some advice I’d really appreciate it!

2024.05.15 03:56 TheWaywardKid A dissertation on why Rocket Racing should borrow the power-up mechanics from 2010's "Blur" SPECIFICALLY
 | submitted by TheWaywardKid to RocketRacing [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/lpmsx1b6yh0d1.png?width=1273&format=png&auto=webp&s=b48f495ed4ba6d83bd5cdd1f65512d17c5eb9ca3 [TL;DR – Rocket Racing's physics are neither meaty enough nor predictable enough for most hardcore racing fans, but its gameplay loop is too predictable to keep the attention of casual players. Blur's balanced approach to power-ups adds enough chaos and variety to capture the wider casual market while still being skillful enough to not feel like victory is arbitrary.] Hello worldwide web, and thank you for attending my “clearly should touch grass” TED Talk regarding Rocket Racing, power-ups, and you! Please note that the idea of adding power-ups is intended as an additional mode rather than replacing what we have. Chaos vs Predictability An important game design principle is the idea of the balance between skill and luck. The more predictable the game, the more you feel like your decisions matter. Too much predictability, however, can either make it feel like the game is playing itself or that the victor was already decided. Chaos can add a bit of excitement and pizzazz to a game, making each match feel unique while giving the impression that anyone has a chance. Conversely, too much chaos makes victory seem entirely random. In general, “hardcore” players tend to lean toward predictability while “casual” players lean toward chaos. Rocket Racing's Problem Rocket Racing's gameplay, on a basic level, is a blast! Controls are slick, speeds are high, and its loose physics feel so utterly unhinged they provide a sense of exhilaration! So what gives? Why does it struggle to find an audience? I'd argue it's because its physics are unappealing to most hardcore racing players, but its predictable matches quickly wear thin for everybody else. For the hardcore, the arcade-y mechanics don't have enough “meat” to dig into (such as car parts, stats, road conditions, etc) and you never know when the game's physics are simply going to give you the middle finger and ruin a perfectly good run. For the casual, every single race relies on perfecting a single optimal route and utilizing obscure tech, while any variance in gameplay simply becomes a mistake that could cost you a match. (Jackrabbit's infamous shortcut is the perfect example: You either know the unintended route and nail it, or you lose.) When there's one right way to do a map, a map gets stale incredibly quickly. No number of new tracks will fix either of these intrinsic issues for either player-base. Blur's Powers I won't deny that Blur had its own wide array of issues reaching even to its launch date, but in my opinion it had the single best power-up system of any racer. In Blur you can see what power you are going to pick up, and it remains that power at that location during the entire match. The spawn locations are always the same, but (except for rare locations here and there) what powers appear there are randomized between matches. Players can hold and choose between three items at a time, and can even see what others have. There is a healthbar that resets the player when destroyed, as well as a power that heals when used. The powers are balanced to be counterable by the other powers. The offensive powers have varying levels of damage, ease of countering, and amount they slow/swerve opponents. Blur's “blue shell” sends multiple columns of lightning ahead of the frontrunners to dodge, acting precisely like the glowing hazards already present in Rocket Racing when hit. (These hazards stack further and further ahead if multiple copies of the item are used.) Why Add Them One of the biggest things Fortnite's “main” mode does so successfully is how it balances the fun of casual chaos with the skill ceiling of predictability, and it is a balance that Rocket Racing sorely lacks. Blur's visible powers – as well as the ability to hold 3 - allow players to strategize what items they think they need given the situation. Their careful balance means that those choices actually matter. Their predictability allows attentive players to know where to look during subsequent laps. Even in the case of the “blue shell”, it affects all frontrunners equally in a way that will slow them down but not outright steal their hard-fought progress. The healthbar allows power-ups to have other adverse effects besides immediately killing a players' momentum (killing momentum would be downright cheap in large sections of the maps); further, the healthbar forces players to think defensively rather than always take the fastest option possible. On the “casual/chaotic” side of things, powers would make each lineup of racers more unpredictable in their actions. The visible placement of powers would also give players more reason to explore other routes through levels rather than focus on the single fastest. The randomization of that placement would further aid in making each race feel more unique, immediately getting a ton more mileage out of every level. (Perhaps a nitro boost is on a route you normally wouldn't take, or you desperately need to heal.) This added chaos would also go a long way in making Rocket Racing's unhinged physics seem less problematic; suddenly careening off into the sunset just seems more acceptable in a race full of explosions and mayhem than it does in a highly technical race. In summary: Blur's powers would add the variety that a wider audience craves while still being predictable enough to keep Rocket Racing more “skill-based” than a typical kart racer. |
2024.05.15 03:56 Glittering-Teacherr I am SO tired after 1 week post gallbladder removal.
I am so weirdly tired. It’s like my muscles give out and I get this weird sensation in my body when I relax in the slightest. I am also still struggling with light headedness. Maybe it’s blood sugar, not sure. Eating popsicles help some of the feelings, especially the lightheadness or woozy feeling after I eat. Mostly concerned about the fatigue. I hate the feeling.
I’ve been eating fine. Not too much or not too little and I’ve been trying to generally eat okay. Sandwich, soup, baked potatoes, etc. I haven’t eaten anything crazy but I’m just tired of feeling tired tbh.
My appointment for my two weeks is next Wednesday and I’m ready to ask about this fatigue. To be fair, it kinda started around Saturday or Sunday when I started doing more and I went back to work yesterday. I am teacher so it’s not strenuous and I’ve been trying to sit often as they’re doing exam review anyway. So, I guess it could truly be being tired from healing tbh. On the brightside, My incisions look great though and I’m starting to lose some of my soreness in my belly button. Feeling much better sore/incision wise.

2024.05.15 03:49 Brownbagseries Worth getting tested?
Hey everyone! I just joined this group and I’m sorry if my post might be a repetition of previous. I’ve been going through IVF and I’m tired 😂
We have had four years of secondary infertility. First child took two years of unprotected sex to get pregnant. Then when he was 9 months we tried for number two. One failed IUI. Started IVF this year. Plenty of embryos… retrieved 27 and out of 14 tested, 13 were normal. Did our first fet—failed. I was devastated.
I have weird symptoms day to day and since college have been very prone to yeast infections. Some of it I attribute to delivering a 9 lb baby vaginally and tearing my urethra—had to get stitches on both sides. But…
I go pee 3-4 times a night. I have owed myself driving when I had just gone in the restaurant. So embarrassing (that’s the worst part honestly). I get yeast infections every 5 months or so. I get sore around my cervix after sex and just sometimes during my cycle. I sometimes feel uncomfortable/itchy during my cycle and I just feel like the odor and general area is off.
Should I push my fertility clinic to test? I feel like I spend so much time in the clinic and I don’t want to add something if it isn’t likely to yield a positive result. Especially if they will think I’m trying to pull a doctor google.
TL;DR. 4 years of secondary infertility and I just feel like my flora is off in my urinary and vaginal tract. But tired from IVF and constantly being poked and know I will have to push to get tested for this because my clinic relies very heavily on heavily researched publications.
Also I’m in NJ in Flanders if anyone has a close place to get tested. Thanks!

2024.05.15 03:42 luckygirl97 Why do I feel so sick?
I’m on Propranolol 10mg 2x day and it was helping my andrelanine surges and palpitations at first. Now not so much. It keeps my heart rate down, but my adrenaline still goes kinda crazy. Not as bad, but definitely not like at first. I guess I need to increase my dose but I don’t want to because I’m gonna start ivabradine as soon as it’s approved by insurance. The propranolol has made me overly tired and I’ve been having chest pains and I think it may also be the cause. It helps with the panic attacks and keeps my heart rate down.
I’ve discovered I have Hyperpots and Mcas from floxing and am trying to keep my allergic reactions under control but I feel so feverish and run down and weak. My throat is slightly sore. I went to the doctor and they found absolutely nothing, AGAIN.
I feel nauseous and almost like I have the flu but they tested me for everything and nothing was there. I feel warm and tired. Could these symptoms be due the propranolol? I wasn’t feeling like this before starting it.

2024.05.15 03:38 espresso651 Are student loans worth it? UNC Chapel Hill Versus Rutgers PharmD
Choosing between UNC Chapel Hill and Rutgers North Brunswick for pharmD as a high school senior (come out with pharmacy doctorate in 6 years). Please help me decide. Commitment deadline is VERY soon.
UNC: #1 for pharmacy, 60k estimate/yr (more accurate pricing would be $45-50k with budgeting, parents would only pay up to 35k), 6 year pharmD Early Assurance Program, Carolina Global Launch (semester study abroad with $1,000 scholarship). UNC has much more flexible AP credit waivers (if I remember correctly, there may be a 75 credit hour cap?). Non-North Carolina resident & out of state. Heard that there is little mental health advising for students. Not as big of an east asian enrollment. Heard that premed is cut throat; if academics are harder, may not have as much time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Would need to do work-study.
RU: #20 for pharmacy, 25k estimate/yr (parents would pay for all room/board/full cost of attendance), 6 year pharmD program, Rutgers Honors College, No study abroad allowed for pharmacy (after discussing with dean, only possibility is Douglass Global Village for a week during spring break). Rutgers only allows 8 AP credits waived (essentially an AP bio lecture/lab). NJ resident & in state (close family, although not extremely important). Felt very overwhelmed at Rutgers. Larger east asian enrollment. Also heard that pharmD is difficult, but would not need to do work study and could have more time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Am also currently in the process of interviewing for local pharm tech positions.
I am interested in going into industry or potentially clinical but definitely not retail pharmacy. Would love to get a fellowship, do research, or get an externship at a pharmaceutical company. May be interested in med afterwards but not very likely and set on chemistry/drug development/pharm for undergrad/first degree. Rutgers is also in a great place for pharmaceutical companies and I know Rutgers promotes it's Johnson & Johnson's affiliated opportunities a lot. However, UNC has the research triangle too. Finances and student debt is my main inhibiting factor; I would need to take out approx 20-25k/yr in private student loans if I attend UNC. It has more prestige, better placement into industry (according to my brief research, I could be wrong), is a research heavy school, I love the school culture, people are also generally much nicer in UNC. Personally hate how spread out the RU campus is but not a huge factor in my decision. If money was not an issue, I would choose UNC.
Can I get some input from current/former students that have experience at either school or experience with student debt? Is it worth it?

UNC: #1 for pharmacy, 60k estimate/yr (more accurate pricing would be $45-50k with budgeting, parents would only pay up to 35k), 6 year pharmD Early Assurance Program, Carolina Global Launch (semester study abroad with $1,000 scholarship). UNC has much more flexible AP credit waivers (if I remember correctly, there may be a 75 credit hour cap?). Non-North Carolina resident & out of state. Heard that there is little mental health advising for students. Not as big of an east asian enrollment. Heard that premed is cut throat; if academics are harder, may not have as much time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Would need to do work-study.
RU: #20 for pharmacy, 25k estimate/yr (parents would pay for all room/board/full cost of attendance), 6 year pharmD program, Rutgers Honors College, No study abroad allowed for pharmacy (after discussing with dean, only possibility is Douglass Global Village for a week during spring break). Rutgers only allows 8 AP credits waived (essentially an AP bio lecture/lab). NJ resident & in state (close family, although not extremely important). Felt very overwhelmed at Rutgers. Larger east asian enrollment. Also heard that pharmD is difficult, but would not need to do work study and could have more time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Am also currently in the process of interviewing for local pharm tech positions.
I am interested in going into industry or potentially clinical but definitely not retail pharmacy. Would love to get a fellowship, do research, or get an externship at a pharmaceutical company. May be interested in med afterwards but not very likely and set on chemistry/drug development/pharm for undergrad/first degree. Rutgers is also in a great place for pharmaceutical companies and I know Rutgers promotes it's Johnson & Johnson's affiliated opportunities a lot. However, UNC has the research triangle too. Finances and student debt is my main inhibiting factor; I would need to take out approx 20-25k/yr in private student loans if I attend UNC. It has more prestige, better placement into industry (according to my brief research, I could be wrong), is a research heavy school, I love the school culture, people are also generally much nicer in UNC. Personally hate how spread out the RU campus is but not a huge factor in my decision. If money was not an issue, I would choose UNC.
Can I get some input from current/former students that have experience at either school or experience with student debt? Is it worth it?

2024.05.15 03:30 skipperoonie_ 7 Weeks Post-Op - Breakdown of Recovery
Hey y'all,
Long time lurker here, but I wanted to make a post of my experience because I found a lot of reassurance from many folks here before I got my surgery.
I'm exactly seven weeks post-op today; I had a total laparoscopic hysto, including ovaries. For some background, I'm 34, 5'3 and 134lbs; been on T for 9 years now.
Surgery day: Nervous as hell, but medical team was amazing. Surgery took about 2.5 hours and I was able to go home the same day. I had a bit of trouble fully coming to afterwards, but after a nap, I was good to get up on my own and make my way to the washroom for the highly anticipated pee (can't leave without peeing). It did take me a long time to pee, but I managed a little something. There will be blood immediately after surgery, so it certainly can be startling if you've been without a period for years. Didn't eat much that day, as anaesthetic kinda ruined my appetite. Pain was tolerable, but getting up from the couch/bed was tough - you'll kinda have to roll out. I peed A LOT that evening (it did subside a bit the next day). Nurses said nothing over 5lb (I 100% did not abide by this because 5lbs is very light to me and I felt it silly) and no sex for 6 weeks.
First week: Pain was very manageable, just similar to sore abs. I continued my prescribed painkillers for a couple days and made the switch to Tylenol, which I took for another couple days and then I didn't feel like I needed anything. Bleeding was pretty mild throughout the first week. I think after about 4-5 days post-op, I was walking quite a bit (couple 10-15 min walks a day and general tidying around the house). I did get a little tired, but nothing bad. Drove my car around 4 days in. Was also drinking a dissolvable stool softener - you're really gonna want this. I never took it with top surgery, but hystos are so connected to your bowels, its just a must-have.
Second week: Went back to work after 12 days - I work in service and was on my feet 6-8 hours a day. I felt fine and didn't really overdo it. I didn't lift much over 10-15lbs, but was able to hustle. Bleeding continued to be quite light. I was pretty much cleaning my house as normal at this point, as well as walking my dog (though he is super young and a puller, so I was very cautious during our walks). Continued drinking the stool softener because I still felt a little discomfort when trying to go to the bathroom.
Third and Fourth weeks: Third week I just increased my walking, working and started to ease back into my routine. I will say my gas pains/bowel discomfort got pretty bad around this point - I've never experienced anything like it. It was obvious it was related to my intestines and bowels settling into a new place inside me, but it was so uncomfortable. I continued the softener every other day until the fourth week. Once I reached week four, I went back to the gym to do some stretching and isolation work on machines (leg extentions and curls, shoulder presses, rows, light curls and tricep work). I only went two days, that week, but it felt amazing to get back in there and move my body. I had no more bleeding at all after that week and had no adverse effects from going to the gym.
Fifth and Sixth weeks: Pretty much a full return to normal for me. Fifth week, I started increasing the weights (half my usual) at the gym and hit the exercise bike as well. Sixth week, I started my compound body work like squats, bench presses, light deadlifts, etc. Again, had no adverse effects. I'm now at week seven and I'm back fully to normal, in my opinion. My doctor has cleared me for all regular activities and I'm feeling great. This will be my first full week back in the gym and though things are feeling heavy as hell after all this time, it will come back in no time.
Some other things that I was worried about before my surgery: Muscle loss/Weightlifting - If you're in good shape beforehand and are a seasoned lifter, you're gonna be just fine. I was so freaked out about losing my muscle and physique, but it wasn't so bad. Just don't eat like shit and stay as active as you can. Things are gonna feel really heavy when you get back, but just go slow and focus on form.
Sex/Masturbation - I got myself off probably 2 weeks after and had some light bleeding, but nothing else. I waited again for another few days and it was fine after that. I continued to get off regularly after this with no adverse effects. Myself and my partner obviously didn't have penetrative sex during these 6 weeks, but we did manage to get by with some hands-on fun. I've yet to have the more "aggressive" penetrative sex I'm used to, but light penetration this past week has not bothered me - just go slow and make sure it feels ok.
Scarring - SO TINY. Seriously, just don't pick at them and keep them moisturized and they will heal great.
That's mostly all I can recall right now, but I'm happy to answer any questions. Sorry if this was long-winded, but I figured maybe it would help someone out!

2024.05.15 03:27 espresso651 UNC v. Rutgers PharmD
Choosing between UNC Chapel Hill and Rutgers North Brunswick for pharmD as a high school senior. Please help me decide. Commitment deadline is VERY soon.
UNC: #1 for pharmacy, 60k estimate/yr (more accurate pricing would be $45-50k with budgeting, parents would only pay up to 35k), 6 year pharmD Early Assurance Program, Carolina Global Launch (semester study abroad with $1,000 scholarship). UNC has much more flexible AP credit waivers (if I remember correctly, there may be a 75 credit hour cap?). Non-North Carolina resident & out of state. Heard that there is little mental health advising for students. Not as big of an east asian enrollment. Heard that premed is cut throat; if academics are harder, may not have as much time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Would need to do work-study.
RU: #20 for pharmacy, 25k estimate/yr (parents would pay for all room/board/full cost of attendance), 6 year pharmD program, Rutgers Honors College, No study abroad allowed for pharmacy (after discussing with dean, only possibility is Douglass Global Village for a week during spring break). Rutgers only allows 8 AP credits waived (essentially an AP bio lecture/lab). NJ resident & in state (close family, although not extremely important). Felt very overwhelmed at Rutgers. Larger east asian enrollment. Also heard that pharmD is difficult, but would not need to do work study and could have more time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Am also currently in the process of interviewing for local pharm tech positions.
I am interested in going into industry or potentially clinical but definitely not retail pharmacy. Would love to get a fellowship, do research, or get an externship at a pharmaceutical company. May be interested in med afterwards but not very likely and set on chemistry/drug development/pharm for undergrad/first degree. Rutgers is also in a great place for pharmaceutical companies and I know Rutgers promotes it's Johnson & Johnson's affiliated opportunities a lot. However, UNC has the research triangle too. Finances and student debt is my main inhibiting factor; I would need to take out approx 20-25k/yr in private student loans if I attend UNC. It has more prestige, better placement into industry (according to my brief research, I could be wrong), is a research heavy school, I love the school culture, people are also generally much nicer in UNC.

2024.05.15 03:15 Dinwinning Tonsillitis for 3 weeks
Hi guys, I’m a 23M that has been diagnosed with a probable virus after seemingly having tonsillitis. I’ve tested negative to everything - strep, STI’s, mono, influenza, covid etc. anything that can be swabbed or blood tested. All 4 doctors have no clue. I’ve been prescribed erythromycin (taking it for acne beforehand so doubled dose) for 6 days when there was white puss/infection coming from only right tonsil, then penicillin with erythromycin for 10 days after puss went away but still sore to swallow and swollen. Weird thing is halfway through the penicillin it flared up again, having around 5 tiny white dots appear predominantly on the inflamed right tonsil for a couple days. This was accompanied with swelling that made the tonsil protrude towards the uvula too. Whilst it’s settling down again after 4 days of dots, I still have swelling 3 weeks later. My main concern is the anatomy of my right tonsil because where the puss was coming from in the slit is healing so slowly and it’s like my tonsil has a little dangly thing/uvula of it’s own now lol. Could it be a stubborn tonsil stone or something causing the protrusion? Never had my tonsil look like this. I’ve poked around with a q-tip and it actually tucked in the dangly thing a little, with no clear stones or anything behind it or the tonsil flaps.
Current symptoms are barely any throat pain when swallowing, swelling and inflammation of right tonsil and moderate lymph nodes in neck, chronic fatigue, no fever, sporadic body aches and pains.
I’m lost because I’ve never been sick for this long for a respiratory issue and feel something’s not right.

2024.05.15 03:13 hdbdskhfjdkdk Using LMAs w/ GA (OMS)
Hi, I am a student assistant right now, interning at an oral surgery office. I understand that I am not a dentist and don’t have the knowledge or qualifications to really assess this but I guess I’m just getting a bad feeling…
One of the dentists in the office always uses sevoflurane and places a laryngeal mask airway device for general anesthesia. An assistant said he uses it for ALL wisdom teeth extractions. So far, I haven’t seen any other doctors use a LMA, they always use IV sedation w/ medications (versed, propofol, sometimes ketamine, decadron, etc).
From what I’ve seen, it seems maybe riskier than other GA methods? Today, 2 pts O2 saturation dropped quite low (around 60%) from issues w the LMAs. The assistants told me that we have to be very diligent about getting any blood & saliva from the throat during LMA removal or it can cause a laryngospasm. it’s hard to wake them up after and most of the time they tense up a lot and it’s difficult to restrain them to keep them from hurting us or themselves.
We had a consult today for a teenage girl to get a single wisdom tooth extracted (complete bony impaction), and he said GA w/ LMA. It made me nervous.
Is it overkill to use LMAs so much? Or am I just overreacting? I just don’t understand why he always chooses that method.

2024.05.15 03:03 Brilliant_Debate3829 Would a mild cold delay ovulation?
Hey friends:) my period is six days late (i already took two pregnancy tests, both negative), which is super duper uncommon for me. My periods are almost always 30 days apart.
I realized that I had a minor cold during the few days that my Flo app predicted ovulation this past month. Mainly congestion, fatigue and a sore throat. I was also moving at this time, both myself and I spent a day helping a friend move on the day I was meant to ovulate AND was the sickest. It was pretty stressful but I am incredibly stressed person in general so i just cant believe that would throw my cycle off so much.
Is that enough to delay ovulation and thus my period? My periods are never ever later than a day or two, so this is really freaking me out. I can’t think of any other explanation.

2024.05.15 03:00 oceanicfoot855 Can I reinfect myself with strep?
I (female, aged 22, 5’11, 160lbs, east asian/white) have had a sore throat for about a week now (since last Monday). I had a slight fever (~99°F) Wednesday but it went away the next day. I got tested yesterday (Monday) and found out today that I have strep throat (Type A). I was prescribed 500 MG of amoxicillin and began taking it today.
Last Tuesday I went out with a girl and ended up passing the strep to her (she has had a sore throat since Thursday). We have plans tomorrow, but I’m concerned about reinfecting myself if we -swap spit- and I’m wondering if this is a legitimate concern?

2024.05.15 02:36 virandociclista This is Lyme ?
 | I want to understand what is this in case you saw something similar, please let me know. I really appreciate it submitted by virandociclista to lymedisease [link] [comments] I am on vacations in Arizona visiting the canyons and suddenly I started to feel like crap. Fever, headaches and a urticaria appeared and looks similar bites. Anyone knows what this could be or saw something like that before ? It is on my both legs, arms, behind knees and looks like starts to be on my face today too. I went into two different doctors and they prescribed 7 days of antibiotic doxycline (last day is tomorrow which is freaking me out) to me but they also don’t know what it is. Googling around I was thinking about Lyme disease or bedbugs bites with allergic reaction, hard thing to figure out! Everything started with sore throat and symptoms similar COVID-19 lost taste and smell for some days and all of that but after these marks on my skin I had also allergic reaction lost my breath, had to use inhaler that never used before. |
2024.05.15 02:25 DragonsNeverDie1 Doxylamine gave me an sleep apnea
I tried Doxylamine to counter the insomnia, coupled with a decent amount of muscle relaxers. Bad idea.
Had weird dreams and saw my own body sleeping in a dream while I was like floating around, remember I was thinking, while still dreaming, "alright, I need to go back now", and entered my body, waking up suddenly and restless.
I was laying on my back, facing up the ceiling (I never sleep in that position, always on my side) and I had a sore throat and a bit agitated.
I believe I might have had an apnea, and its the first time I experienced this.
Im pretty sure it was the Doxylamine , maybe in combination with the muscle relaxer.
Please be careful and avoid antihistaminics for sleep when possible.

2024.05.15 01:19 stoicdad23 What do y’all do when sick?
30M, here, married to a 30 (f) and have two boys 5 and 3.
What happens when yall get sick? 5 year old brought a bug home Sunday to me with fever, headache, sore throat, congestion. Wife is super supportive, but acts like i should be doing everything the same as normal (very active in all activities with kids and house), when she’s sick i send her to the bedroom and handle it all . Kids still wake us up at 5/530 every day , and it’s hard to sleep when congested. Any tips to resting and getting better while in the trenches?

2024.05.15 01:03 ProtectionEither3447 Is this an std?
Is this an std in your experience?
Maybe I’m exaggerating and I’m going to the doctor tomorrow but I’m scared. I had unprotected sex last week and 3 days after I got a fever, sore throat, canker Soares on my tongue, very light vagina itch/irritation and then this acne that while I was sick I kept touching and even pulled the skin from and now it’s horible.
I want you to see the pictures of what I have in my chin and tell me if you’ve had it.
Also, keep in mind even if I do feel a mild vagina irritation it wouldn’t be abnormal for me to get yeast infection from sex, even if I did use protection.
I’m just scared about how this looks and I’m going to the dermatologist tomorrow but I have no insurance and I want to have an opinion from others if I have to actallly invest in getting checked by other types of doctors.

I had unprotected sex last week and 3 days after I got a fever, sore throat, canker Soares on my tongue, very light vagina itch/irritation and then this acne that while I was sick I kept touching and even pulled the skin from and now it’s horible.
I want you to see the pictures of what I have in my chin and tell me if you’ve had it.
Also, keep in mind even if I do feel a mild vagina irritation it wouldn’t be abnormal for me to get yeast infection from sex, even if I did use protection.
I’m just scared about how this looks and I’m going to the dermatologist tomorrow but I have no insurance and I want to have an opinion from others if I have to actallly invest in getting checked by other types of doctors.

2024.05.15 00:56 fact-fisher My bf (30m) gets extra frustrated with me(26f) because my friends always somehow get me into trouble. What should I do?
TLDR - I should have stayed home and now every dude is gonna say "this is why you can't trust girls" 🤦🏼♀️ & I probably read too far into this lol
My bf (he's 30) and I (26) have the same group of friends. My bf and I have been together for 4 years & one of his other friends has been in a committed relationship with my friend Angelina, but the rest of our friend group couples are less committed and more on and off dating. (I am the youngest of our friends and the rest are 26-31)
Well first off, these other girls can be sort of "wild" & not in a sexy way that our bf's appreciate, so generally me and Angelina just hang out with the boys while the other gf's go out because they usually stay out pretty late & idk we love our bf's.
Last weekend my one friend was out of town and the boys were going golfing and they just drink beer and it's boring w/out my one friend so I just told my bf I was going to go with the girls to dinner and then there was some trivia thing at the place we were eating so the boys just dropped us off and said they would come back to get us at 12 once it was over.
Well things went not as planned and I definitely wish I just stayed back. After dinner they were bored of the Trivia so they wanted to walk to this other arcade thing but it does have a bar in it, it was just still only like 8pm and I thought we were just walking back so I didn't text my bf. Well fast forward one of the girls had my phone because she said she was going to text her bf who was the one driving to come get us so I let her but then she started saying we're getting a ride home with this person who then actually took us to this party. She drained my phone texting some other guy so it was dead. So as soon as this dude takes us to his friends house and the other girls were trashed (I wasn't drinking) I found a phone charger at this random house and called my bf and he told me to share my location. Which all the girls were pissed at me for because they weren't ready to leave. Well then they go with all these other people (mostly dudes) and they leave so I just stayed and waited on my bf to come, which our bf's were obviously already all pissed and then had to drive around trying to figure out where the girls went. My bf was just moody af and annoyed but the other ones were pissed & mad at me asking like where tf they went or if they went off with dudes etc my bf asked me if the dudes were just hitting on us and I said not really just like drunk and I mean idk I just didn't like all the tension so I didn't mention that one of the girls was texting some guy on my phone.
Well now this dude starts texting me yesterday asking what I'm doing this weekend so I just said that he's trying to text the other girl not me. And this dude has called like idk 20x and is texting me telling me to tell the other girls to hang etc and then he starts like hitting on me saying I missed out on fun with them last weekend 🤦🏼♀️ so I just blocked him. I didn't delete the messages and I can't decide if I need to tell my bf that the one girl was actually texting some dude on my phone, he definitely would tell his friend & the girl might hate me but I'm not as worried about that as much as my bf being mad some dudes texting me & that I lied about not knowing last weekend that she was on my phone etc. He was just already pretty irritated I was somehow in the situation but he was pretty forgiving and I already got fucked super hard for it lol I'm sore and not looking to start anymore fights even if the sex was type 2 fun (it was rough lol), it was also because I pissed him off and disappointed him but he knows those girls are trouble. Anyways, do you think it is in the past and I could just let it go or do you think I need to bring up that the guy was texting me, which I'll then have to bring up that he only had my number from texting her on my phone which then will lead to me showing him the texts which then will lead to him reading that one dude telling the girl using my phone how sexy she was and all her friends & other horrible things, like one of his texts to her last weekend he told her his friend likes MY ass/needs pussy🙈 ah oh no. I didn't read the texts until today when this dude texted me now, but that was why I just waited for my bf last weekend - the dudes were a lil too eagethirsty at that party. You can tell it's my friend texting because she texted the dude that it was her. But I still feel really bad about it all and ya I just don't want this fight now, my bf isn't controlling but he'd not be too happy about the things the guy was saying about me or like the wording was a bit much. If the dude had texted that girl like "oh your friend is cute" ya my bf would be like "you are" but if he sees its more like "is her pussy tight...would she ride it with u" 😬😳 he's probably gonna b like "this jdjrjdakwnd cocksucker needs his ass whooped god damn skajcbeiwisb" and I do not want that at all soooo do I not say more? Oh & when that guy texted me I told him I have a bf, but when I texted that he said "ya I have a goldfish" back 🤔 and then kept calling, so like I said I blocked him but my bf would probably say the dude is asking for shit.
I did apologize to my bf & took responsibility after it all last weekend. I've never cheated and I would never support it or anything so I don't want it to seem like I'm helping her hide it or I was hiding that they were hitting on me because I really was outside vaping most of the time and Idk why I lied other than i was overwhelmed by the situation and mad bfs everywhere idk but I should have just told him and let him be mad last weekend so I'm not here stuck now.
My bf won't think I cheated or anything, he knows no one else gets me in the bedroom & we have trust, which is why I care so much about not compromising that.

2024.05.15 00:36 Straight-Row-3458 What would you like to see if they were to remake Awakwning for the upcoming Nintendo system?
I got awakening for christmas almost 10 years ago and I instantly got hooked into the world and characters. Even to this day i can basically remember every character from the top of my head, but playing it again I can see some things that can be aproved on. So (outside graphics and full voice acting throught the game of course) what would you like to see if they remade awakening for the switch or the next nintendo system? What would you like them to change about the story, characters or gameplay?
Anything below here will contain spoilers to awakening, so be warned.
For me, 1) improve the villians. The villians in awakening are pretty bland especially coming from 3h. I think to improve the 4 main villians (Gangrel, Walhart, Validar and Grima) they should make them more memerable somehow. Starting with Gangrel they should make him more of a tragic villian. Have him start off seeming like a one note villian just wanting a war, but the deeper into his arc they start to show how hes gone crazy due to chroms father killing his family when he was child. Maybe, in one of the chapters (after Emeryn dies) have him monologue to chrom saying something like "what did you feel chrom when you saw your sisters dead body? Did it hurt? Did you feel anger, sadness, regret? Most it feel weird to lose someone you care about right infront of you. That pain, that regret, that anger you felt when she died is what I feel every day since i was a child. I was scared when your father burst into our city, I felt anger when he paraded my father and brothers across the city like pigs to the slaughter. I felt anger when he had his men do what they wanted to my mother and sisters. I felt so helpless as they slit my families throats. You know, I only survived because my brother convinced a soldier I was just a slave. How could I be the only survivor of that monster? Ive asked that question every day. Everyday, my family calls to me to avenge them. Night and day they call to me, and now, finally, I killed one. Now, I just have 2 more then I shall have peace." I think doing this will help flesh out gangrel more.
For Walhart IDK exactly how to make him better except for making him more of an unmovable object kinda thing. Maybe have us play a one-off chapter as Basilo and in a that suicide march against Walhart rather then it being a cutscene. Also, make sure the player knows hes trying to unite the whole world under one banner so humanity can be united before grima is awakened.
For Validar I think they need to make him delusional and smarter. I think they should change awakenings prologue or whatever to show Validar, Robin, and Robins mothers past. Maybe have it so they show Robins mother fleeing Plegia with Robin as a baby to Ylisstol which will eventually lead to her death by Validar and the grimleal followers,which, in turn, will eventual lead to chroms father starting the war with Plegia. Validar justifies all the killing he does to the fact that he believes the lie that grima will bring peace to the world and bring the living to the dead. So he really wants to resurrect Grima to bring his dead wife back to life. Also, I think he should be the main reason most of awakenings plot happens in the remake without being totally stupid like he is in the original.
With grima, have him be more of a threat throughout the story.
2) Have each arc be more connected. Gangrels, Walharts and Grimmas arks are all kinda just thrown together so connecting each of them would be cool. Maybe have it where Gangrel starts the war with ylisse but seeing that hes losing, Aversa suggets aid from the mighty king on Valm, Walhart, who'll help in their aid if he gives walhart the fire emblem, Gangrel agrees but obviously hes killed before walhart can arrive. For walhart to grimas arc, I think Excellus (the purple haired tactician of walhart) should be a spy for the grimleal and would steal the fire emblem from chrom and book it out of there. Now having the fire emblem, all the gems validar can start the awakening ceramony.
3) have there be open 3d spaces to run around in, like a camp like in FE engage, where you can go there to spend more time with characters and stuff but not be needed like in 3h. Maybe have optinal dungeons that can unlock world building, powerful loot and characters.
4) Just have more lore in general and have some side characters be more important to the story outside their intro chapters.
5) have there be choices that affect the ending. If robin makes too many evil choices and doesnt have a lvl B or higher support rank with chrom and a few other characters, have him kill chrom and turn into grima. If he turns, let us play as grima and kill the remaining shepards, but if he doesnt turn, have the story continue as normal. I think this will help strengthen the story about bonds.
6) Explain grima more. I dont fully understand how grima works. Why does grima need a human body? How is robin grimma? Is grima the human or the dragon? I kinda have it as head canon the grima is like a titan in attack on titan where the human body is grimas actual body but the dragon is just kinda like a mech that is controled by his human form.
EDIT 7) I almost forgot, Id also like better maps and more diverse map objectives then kill the boss or kill everybody
Thanks for reading this far! Im interested in hearing what you guys think they should do.
