Watery stool abdominal pains cramps

One Night at Blocky Freddy's

2024.05.29 05:43 Smartstocks One Night at Blocky Freddy's

I found myself, felled, to the ground, with severe abdominal pain and choking on my own bile, and was sent to the hospital Fake Nike Air Jordan 6. They decided that it was probably a Fake Nike Air Jordan 6 dermoid of type Air Jordan 3 Retro-cyst and prescribed antibiotics. Throughout that summer they kept upping my medication to help warp me. Just fourteen months in the pharmaceutica ray ban tortoise shell on me personally resulted in e ray ban wayfarer.

2024.05.29 05:34 lothsulothmo (22 AFAB) aching pains in legs?

I have had terribly aching legs since I was a child which have only recently gotten more frequent and intense. They don't feel like pulled muscles, cramps, or soreness from exercise, but aches that have been attributed to "growing pains" back when I was a child. They don't flare up with any sort of exercise or overuse, and it's typically in the evenings and into the night about once or twice a week. Could it be a chronic pain condition? What could have caused it? Is it muscular or skeletal? Help!

2024.05.29 04:54 Hour-Preparation-637 Resources for making abortion less terrifying?

I’m located in MN. I’ve been struggling a lot since finding out about my pregnancy with how I feel about it. I already feel an attachment and bond with this baby and no matter how much I tell myself it’s just the hormones it’s still made me terrified of having an abortion. My reasons for wanting one were that 1. Pre pregnancy, my bf and I had agreed to terminate if I were to become pregnant at this point in my life because 2. I literally have no job, live with my mother, have a genetic disease that makes everything harder, unstable mental health disorders, have no money and just don’t feel ready or like I could successfully support a houseplant much less a child. I read so many people saying they got to be put under for their abortions, or at the very least were given an anxiety med. However everywhere I’ve called says that’s not a thing and I would need to be awake and not medicated if I want one. I genuinely don’t think I can do that, in fact I know I can’t. I went through some serious medical trauma with my history of cervical cancer and I literally need a week to recover emotionally after getting a Pap smear, not to mention I sob and need to be held in place while getting them, because of how badly traumatized I am. There’s just no way I would be able to handle being awake while a bunch of strangers painfully scrape my uterus empty. I also can’t get the at home pill abortion because I’d need to take it by the end of this week and I can’t due to my sister getting married and I can’t be like heavily bleeding and cramping through that. I’m terrified because I know fear of abortion shouldn’t be a reason to have a baby, but if nowhere around me is even willing to give me any ways to make it less traumatic I’m at a loss. I’d appreciate any and all advice or resources, thank you.

2024.05.29 04:51 sbiel001 After 20 years of suffering my migraines are gone

Hi everyone! I wanted to come on here and share my story in the hope that it might help someone.
I first started having migraines at 7 years old. I remember throwing up in the play ground so many times. The next day I'd be told by kids that I shouldn't be at school because I have a "tummy bug". The noise of school triggered my migraines a lot.
There are a lot of migraine sufferers on my mum's side of the family. My mum, grandma and great grandma all had them and so does my uncle.
When I was 14 I had a traumatic brain injury with bleeding on the brain that made my plight much worse. Even after I got over my injury, my migraines were worse for many years.
In my 20s I had ups and downs, periods where the migraines would be gone for a while and periods they'd come back more often. But I'd always usually have at least one a month (I know many people here have things so much worse and I feel for you so much.) I got very good at managing them.
Then when I was around 25-26 I had a period of time when my headaches became a daily occurance. I say headaches because they did seem to be somewhat different to migraines, with similarities. I'd wake up in the morning with a very strong headache and a bad feeling in my tummy. Medication and caffeine would help but I just couldn't understand what was going on. It seemed potentially alcohol related but then sometimes it would happen without me having had anything to drink, other times I'd have had a few drinks and nothing. I went through a bunch of medical treatments, nothing really helped.
Then when I was 26/27 I stopped eating dairy. I'd long suspected I had an intolerance and so I tried the elimination diet and figured out it helped me with many gut symptoms.
3+ years on I do not get migraines. The only times these come on is if I've had considerable amounts of dairy over the course of a number of days. It's so stark that it's almost like someone waved a wand.
Some other symptoms I've rid myself of: constant loose stool, feelings of inflammation in the stomach and gut that I just thought were normal, intense hyperactivity in the evenings (after large meal with dairy and a glass of wine), almost constant high resting heart rate.
I also want to say that the majority of headaches I've had throughout my life were definitely migraines. I was assessed by many doctors, I had all of the classic symptoms pre, during and post migraine. I won't list them as you know them yourselves.
I know that this won't be the case for many of you, if not most. But those of you who are suffering so much for many years, I really recommend you try an elimination diet to see if you have any food intolerances. At the end of the day, it's worth a shot! (Please don't take this as medical advice, I am not a medical professional, this is just what worked for me.)
Good luck to everyone, I understand your pain.

2024.05.29 04:45 Large_Soft6206 PCOS - egg retrieval & freezing?

Hi friends!! I (23F) have always had irregular periods but I thought nothing of it especially while I was on the depo shot (in which i had no periods at all during that time) but now being off of the shot for about 1.5 years, I began to worry.
Most women’s periods recur within 6 months to 2 years off of the shot. I reached out to my OBGYN. Days later, I started to experience abdominal cramping and I assumed it was normal period cramps because I have never been a cramp girlie so I thought maybe this was a good thing. Well, my cramping went on for 4 days and then, I went to urgent care. They ran bloodwork (CBC/Chem - slight elevation in wbcs with can be indicative of inflammation and/or infection but otherwise normal findings), urine pregnancy test (NEGATIVE) and a CT scan (which showed a “cyst like structure on my right ovary”).
By the time results were back, the pain had become something I could deal with. They had me follow up with my OBGYN for an ultrasound.
I went for the ultrasound and my OBGYN called me with concerns as it looked like there was an endometrioma rather than a cyst on my right ovary. She had me go for a recheck ultrasound a month later and that ultrasound showed a (resolving) hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary and PCOS on both ovaries.
I went in for them to draw my blood for hormone testing today and I discussed my concerns with her. While I am not actively wanting to get pregnant now, I want to have the option in the future. She said she isn’t worried but I’m wondering if me wanting to look into egg retrieval and freezing is an overreaction…?
Any advice is appreciated.

2024.05.29 04:40 Outrageous-Ad5969 Odd recent stomach issues

F20’s This may be pretty TMI but I am genuinely confused. Since Sunday, I have been having on and off watery stool and stomach aches. At random points in the day. I will feel 100% fine and then a few minutes later get a stomach ache and have to use the bathroom and then feel perfectly fine after. I’ve noticed it happens more after junk food but I can’t be sure. For example, Sunday night I was feeling better so we went out for ice cream and I was perfectly fine. The next day we ate chicken sandwiches for lunch and I had to go to the bathroom immediately. It’s no more than 2-3 times a day. I’ve never had this happen before. I had the stomach bug last month and it’s similar, but not consistent with the symptoms. Could this be a mild case of the bug or maybe a mild case of food poisoning where it’s only triggered from certain things? It started happening after a family cookout on Sat….. after I finished my plate of food my stomach got upset but then went away. It is unusual and doesn’t usually happen. Happy to provide more details but I don’t want to sound too gross.

2024.05.29 04:16 vampirejellytycoon_ Recommend birth control

Hello, I have been taking loestrin (pill) for almost 4 months now but am going to start taking a different bc very soon because it has worsened my acne. So far this pill has worked well for me, I started taking it because my periods made it impossible to do anything, they were super painful. The pill made it so I have very minimal cramping and no vomiting/diarrhea. I was wondering if anyone has any pill recommendations? I know everyone is different but I don’t know where to start when there are so many different pills out there.

2024.05.29 04:12 Roseee-k High Platelets? Concerned

The "normal" range is 150-400 but my platelets have been up and down between 450-490 the past 6 years (today was 490).
All other bloodwork came back normal. I (F 25) am otherwise healthy, normal weight, and am a vegetarian, but have high stress due to work and suffer from many IBS (suspected) related issues such as stomach cramping and bowel issues. I've had abdominal xray's and ultrasounds that came back ok.
Family doctor said not to worry but I feel anxious about this. Should I look further into the elevated platelets?

2024.05.29 04:01 No_Sundae_1068 Has anyone tried Ozempic and Trulicity and gotten sick, found something else that doesn’t make you vomit.

I’ve tried Ozempic and Trulicity and both have me such severe GI symptoms that I’ve used up 2 weeks of sick leave and I’m now working my way through my annual leave. I feel sick to my stomach all the time, sulfur burps, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal cramps. You name it. My doctor wants me to stay on the Trulicity. I’m thinking no. Has anyone had these reactions and found something else that works? I just can’t do this anymore.

2024.05.29 04:00 Odtoast Stomach issues taking over my life!

Hi. This is quite a long post so please bear with me. I could really use some help. I’m gonna put as many details as I can in here.
Background details on me: I, (24 F) live in the UK. I’m generally healthy but slightly on the overweight side (my weight has fluctuated for as long as I can remember but the switch from on your feet retail work to office work has affected my weight) Ive never had any serious health issues apart from a blood clot on my lung when I was seventeen. Despite only being 24 - I am a recovered alcoholic. Over a year. My most recent liver function test was fine. I’ve given up cigarettes for almost two years and occasionally vape as a replacement (I know it’s terrible - I am trying to stop). I do not take drugs and am over 3 years drug clean.
My family history: on my mums side three generations have had cervical cancer. On my dad’s side stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer runs rife. My dad himself has a stomach issue called colitis.
The issue: Around eight months ago I started having these ‘pain episodes’. Always at night, never a specific food triggered it. About once every two weeks. This pain was on my left side underneath my ribs and lasted around five hours a time. It was too much to sleep but I could concentrate on a TV show if I wanted too. I originally passed it off as acid reflux but as it persisted I decided to go to the doctors. They felt my tummy. Asked me some questions about my diet and further said it was acid reflux. I was reccomended a common antacid and sent on my way.
Afew more weeks pass by and this pain persists. I now notice with every time it’s getting worse. I think to myself ‘surely acid reflux does not get THIS bad’. The pain episodes start lasting for around 7 hours. Does not matter whether I’m sitting, standing, laying down. Anything. I also noticed alongside this I felt I had a lot of trapped wind or like I needed to use the toilet without the ability too.
I went back to the doctor. They were annoyed I was back again with this issue but they listened. They now decided it could be a bout of gastritis caused by H.pylori and ordered me to submit a stool sample and IF it came back positive I’d be given antibiotics but they told me to eat bland food. Not spicy and not fried in the meantime. Which I did. This test came back negative and I was not contacted about any next steps.
More time goes by. I stick to the bland foods. The pain gets worse. I begin to get a lot of swelling in my upper abdomen when it comes. These episodes begin happening every other day. The only thing that makes me feel better? Forcing myself to vomit. And trust me, I’m not proud of it. But I tried hot water bottles, cold compresses, every position possible, antacids, encorperating more movement in my everyday. What else could I do? Once I realised the vomiting made the pain go away - that’s what I would do as soon as I felt it. I needed to be able to sleep because I had work early. I couldn’t be up all night in pain.
One night. I have a specifically terrible episode and end up in A&E. this time the vomiting didn’t help and actually made it worse. I now notice a little hard lump on my upper left abdomen that is there constantly. A&E take my blood and the results come back that my liver function is ever so slightly elevated. They feel my tummy. Tell me it’s gastritis. Send me home. By that point the pain subsided and I was exhausted. I wasn’t going to fight it.
I wake up the next day and the first thing I do is get a doctors appointment. I ask for the same doctor as last time. I give her all my symptoms. She notes the fact that I’ve noticeably lost weight since the last appointment. She feels my tummy and decides to refer me for an abdominal ultrasound to check my pancreas, liver, gallbladder and stomach. She also ordered blood tests to check me for celiac disease (again negative) and my liver again (it had returned to normal)
I waited for two months to get a refferal letter. As I write this - the scan date is just shy of a month away.
During this time. The pain has increased to daily. I vomit almost daily because it makes the pain atleast bareable verses unable to talk, or breathe, horrific pain. I went to A&E twice over it, nothing was done. I went to urgent care. They prescribed me lanzoprazole 30mg (one a day before food) hyoscine butylbromide 10mg (2 tablets 4 times a day). It helps, occasionally. I also still can’t go to the toilet and when I can (maybe once a week) it’s a real struggle. The movements are light in color.
I am always pale. I am always tired. My blood pressure is lower than normal for me but still in normal ranges
Basically. Any ideas of what this is? Anyone with similar stories. Are my doctors doing enough? I’m not convinced it’s gastritis or acid reflux. I’m doing everything I can. But this is getting pretty hard to live with.
Thankyou everyone.

2024.05.29 03:52 LoThePoorPeacock Sudden Adeno bc of IUD ?

I (34) got the IUD Jaydess last year end of August. Ofc i had the usual pain for the first weeks but Painkillers helped with that… Afterwards my periods that I had became more painful than usual . And Ibuprofen did not help anymore. I don’t know anymore when it started getting worse but last month my gynecologist saw on her screen signs of adeno (she showed me the dots) and i have a MRI soon to see if there’s also endo…
(we first treated something else but that wasn’t the cause of the pain in the end …. but at least my flora got way better because of that)
She gave me Dimetrum last month which gets used for endo but so far the pain is still the same. It comes randomly and it goes … i could be a few days painless then 2 days in a row without pain … sometimes also 2 weeks without pain.
I will get the IUD out as soon as i get the MRI results to see if it gets better. The thing is i never had this before the IUD. just regular period cramps, nothing a buscopan would not fix in like 30 min and i was still able to go to work.
I wanted to know if anyone also suddenly got these symptomes after getting an IUD.
I probably should have removed it earlier but a few months ago the pain also seemed to lessen before it came back worse … and before that my gynecologist did not see anything unusual beside the thing we treated that showed up after the smear test.
it’s 3:45am and i feel the pain coming again and my mental health is slowly decreasing and i don’t recognize myself anymore … I really hope that when i remove it this month everything will go back to normal. If getting an IUD triggered something that gave me all of this i gonna be so angry at myself for getting it in the first place 😞
I was at such a good point in my life bc two years ago i i healed my BPD and finally learned to live and understood life better and i was so happy. But now since the last two months i feel how this pain drains out all my light …. i have a free week and today i was scared to do anything bc i thought the pain will just be back any minute (i was in pain the entire after noon yesterday) im so sad that i can’t enjoy my holidays like this … speaking of holidays i won’t be able to book any travels this year since i never know when the pain comes …

2024.05.29 03:46 Powerful-Somewhere27 Failed surgical abortion please some advice

Pretty much a vent. I 19F found out i was pregnant from Boyfriend 20M quite quickly. I did one test (early) a day or two before my period was predicted, i had unsafe sex and took a plan B but obviously was already ovulating and to be fair i was being a bit young and dumb because afterwards we also had unsafe sex twice. The test was negative and i was relieved. Waiting with full hope for my period to arrive, it didn’t and a couple days after being late i took another one. I had crazy “im gonna have my period cramps” for a week now and i knew something was wrong normally when i get them its ALWAYS within two days. Suprise it’s positive.
100 emotions but also 0, i didnt take it all in. We called for an abortion appointment, she told us we were too early and needed to wait a week, we did. I was so scared, a million thoughts because it was conflicting it was the best choice but not one i wished for and I felt so much i was so overwhelmed.
Saturday, we go there fully prepared. Full on lies to my parents (they are christian and didnt know) planned the days after free. They told me it was too small (fetus) and needed to go back in a week. My boyfriend was going on a long planned holiday with his parents the next week (they also dont know). Now we scheduled for 2 weeks later. He said it’s even better because they are sure it will be big enough to remove succesfully… “successfully” but we’ll get into it.
7 weeks pregnant, the second try. I had AWFUL pregnancy symptoms, every single one nausea i couldn’t eat anything with the stress of puking and my family finding out. Horrible cramps every single day. Full alone and no one to talk to (only BF), physically and mentally suffering. Anyways we go back. Everything went super quick. Upstairs > room with other woman > i was the first one.
I was deadly scared and also have PTSD (sexually related but not by bf) which did NOT help also the Gyn was a male. They asked if i had any questions, i told them i know everything but am very scared. The gyn said to me “of course you don’t have any experience with it” which was wtf?! Very weird in my opinion. First they poke the needle 4 times before getting it right, great. I woke up hazy with the worst feeling in my life or so i thought i felt so extremely violated which probably is also partly my ptsd.
I felt relief because the symptoms like nausea disappeared. I was optimistic “the worst is the procedure” afterwards at least it’s “done”. Mentally punishing myself with shame, guilt, fantasies of what could’ve been. I know i needed to do this and it was the best choice but i was absolutely not happy about it, my mom was a teen mom so it was also a layer of understanding her pain and not hold grudges so much because she actually went through so much.
I immediately took a copper IUD. Two future apportionments. After 3 weeks checking if the abortion was successful and 6 weeks after (in total) if the IUD was placed correctly.
In these 3 weeks i was mentally at a low; no adults who i can go to, keeping it a secret, punishing myself and i need to pass all my exams otherwise i get kicked of the study and have literally no other life plan (uni psychology), the extreme guilt, mood swings well you get it. The SurgicalA was the most traumatic experience in my life the feelings of violation to my body were worse than when i got rxped. I was not a victim, this was my doing.
Here the story: physically i bled 1.5 weeks with heavy cramps they told my this was normal also considering the IUD makes it “worse”. It stopped bleeding although the cramps, mood swings everything was baaad. I got an yeast infection because of the antibiotics. Got something for that and i thought that must be it the cramps are just my IBS. 4 days later the bleeding came back in flows of none to heavy bleeding with heaaavy crampings. Clots and jelly like structured blood came out i knew something was wrong but told myself its the copper IUD.
3 weeks later check up (today) The did a pregancy test, i got called in the room and the first two words where “THE TEST WAS INSTANTLY POSITIVE” my heart SANK. “Could it be you’re pregnant again? Idk what you have been doing you should know” They did a vaginal ultrasound scan she told me it’s and incomplete surgical abortion. There’s leftover tissue she told my i was going to get heavy cramps and blood. If it’s not gone the second appointment/check up i need to do the D&C. I’m going to do the check ups at another clinic, they are not professional or helping the experience in any way. Literally died at the first words of POSITIVE PREGNANCY.
This is the worst i have ever felt. Something inside me died, the most traumatic experience in my life needs to be done again? AGAIN? I feel hopeless and extremely lonely. I am scared to death at even the possibility of going through this again. They told me maybe it’ll go away by itself but it’s been 3 weeks and the chances are really low. The cramps and bleeding are extreme, i am exhausted and a hollow shell of flesh. The school pressure is big, these 3 exams predict my future. I HAVE TO PASS. I have 0 energy and constantly need to fake how i feel with others. My BF is extremely supportive but i also feel like i’m bringing him down in this deep hole i’m sinking in. It’s been 11 weeks now of daily pain, scared he’ll get tired of me. I’m tired of me! I’m suffering physically and mentally and see no light at the end of the tunnel.
Now the reason i wrote this was to vent, but also i see none failed/incomplete surgical abortions only medical. Anyone with any advice/similar experiences? How did you and can i move forward.

2024.05.29 03:42 TakiSauce Bisalp done today- doing great

I read through as much of this sub as I could leading up to my bisalp today and it was honestly a breeze. Unfortunately as per usual, the poor RN had some trouble getting the IV in but that's kind of par for the course with me.
They were all ahead of schedule. I checked in at 1p ahead of my 1:15p, was taken back at like 1:20, prepped by the CNA, signed and set up by the team by 2, went in at like 2:30, out at 3:30, recovered just fine and out the door at 5p.
Notable items: sore throat after intubation, as expected. UTI like pain after catheter, as expected. Hardly any abdominial/incisional pain as of today, but tomorrow might be another story. Offered hydrocodone in lieu of oxycodone with regard to my propensity of heart palpitations on oxy.
My insurance didn't like the stool softener of all things, but that's an easy OTC fix should I need it so big whoop.
I'm super clear headed now at 6:30p, I can sit in a chair fine, and will be resuming my mmorpg scheduled raiding tonight before I suspect a nice sleep.
Overall, this sub has been wonderful, reassuring and a lovely help.
I am located in western washington-north puget sound, I had my procedure done through Skagit Reigonal Health (Skagit Valley Hospital and Skagit Regional Clinics - Women's Health). I used to work for both sides, so I can affirm that almost all, if not all, OBGYNs at the clinic are happy to perform bisalps. Dr. Baruth is lovely, and a great doctor (and so easy to work with too, professionally).
I had a lucky schedule cancellation that did move me up from projected 3+ month wait on the schedule up by a week's notice, so that is a consideration. Skagit Regional Health is a public hospital district and serves a very large area north of Snohomish County and north Snohomish County. Most surrounding hospital systems are private in the north-western-washington area, so surgery scheduling and clinic scheduling is often a wait.
Thank you all for this great sub, and happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.

2024.05.29 03:33 Sea-Assist3088 Ongoing GI symptoms

My son is 20 y/o, history of a c.diff infection at 13 y/o otherwise normal history. For the last 1 1/2 years he’s had pain & vomiting in the morning and with eating, abdominal pain, diarrhea (sometimes bloody) and weight loss. I finally dragged him to the doctor who ran a lot of tests. All the stool tests were normal. His abnormal labs were Calcium 10.4, Amylase 28, Iga 15, Igm 35. Ttg-Igg was normal. Abdominal ultrasound was normal. We’ve been referred to a GI specialist who ordered a colonoscopy before making an appointment in the clinic (what would be the reasoning behind that? The earliest the procedure could be scheduled is late July). My son also has a referral to an allergist, we’re still waiting to hear from that clinic. I’m worried, my kid looks and feels like shit. Pale, dark circles under his eyes. Tall & thin. No energy. Has dropped out of college and can barely manage a part time job. Is there anything more I should be doing? Things we can do while waiting to be seen by the specialists?

2024.05.29 03:31 Comfortable_Fudge558 Fistulotomy Post Op

25, Male here. I got diagnosed with a fissure in September of last year. That turned into a fistula and was diagnosed in December of last year. I lived with the fistula ever since. I was so stubborn about getting the surgery until a couple weeks ago I started to get minor fecal incontinence due to the fistula and I was constantly draining feces out of my rectum. It was so annoying to the point I went to the doctor and scheduled the surgery 2 days later. I got the procedure done last Friday and let me tell you… I wish I had it done sooner.. so go get your procedure done. I had a low transphincteric fistula and the doctor performed a fistulotomy.
I came out of the procedure not really feeling anything and thinking it was because of the anesthetic they put in the open wound. But nope, here I am 5 days later and still feel nothing. I’ve had a few bowel movements since and I swear still no pain. I got a doctors note to work from home for two weeks but since I feel nothing, I feel guilty staying home and I’m returning to work tomorrow AM..
This post is meant for the people that are nervous to get the surgery done. Please just go get it. The discomfort I had from the fistula was way worse than anything I had to go through the surgery. I’m not even taking pain meds at all. Had Advil a couple times the 2 days following surgery cause of fear of my first bowel movement but once I noticed I’m fine… stopped taking them. Now I’m just taking the antibiotics 3x a day and stool softeners to be safe. Anyone have a similar painless experience to this?

2024.05.29 03:27 strangedeepwell_ Increasing my ferritin levels by taking iron cured me of panic attacks

I just want to share this in case it can help someone. I started getting daily panic attacks last summer. It was at the point where I was basically having a constant panic attack all day long. It was awful. awful. awful. I cannot describe to you. I constantly thought i was dying, having a heart attack, couldnt breathe right, thought i was allergic to everything (i wasnt). my body was in constant fight or flight. i had bad brain fog and a bit of derealization. i felt like hell. i was also COMPLETELY intolerant to both caffeine and alcohol. even a sip of coffee or a sip of wine sent me spiraling and made my body feel like it was going to drop dead. im not even kidding!
it all started after some traumatizing events. i saw my partner's grandfather in the hospital dying, i had to go to the ER for severe abdominal pain and they gave me a bunch of antibiotics thru an IV and i had a really awful blinding migraine when the drugs started to drip and there was no nurse in sight. i thought i was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. turns out those antibiotcs they gave me can cause permanent nervous system issues..so that's great.
anyway, after this i was getting these constant panic attacks. after doing hours and hours of research online and on reddit, i finally found out about ferritin deficiency. doctors normally do NOT test ferritin in the blood when they test iron levels (which is stupid af). so i ordered my own on requestatest.com and it turned out my ferritin was very low- 16. theres a fb group called the iron protocol i joined and everyone was having the same issues with low ferritin too.
i started taking an iron supplement and 3 weeks later the panic stopped. all the brain fog ended. then i could breathe again. i literally came back to life.
im not saying this will help everyone but it would not hurt to get your ferritin/iron levels checked. they play such a significant role in mental health. i cannot tell you how relieved i was to finally feel normal again after about 8 months of daily panic attacks. i wanted to die.
now my ferritin is at like 45, the optimal level is like 80-100 but it's hard to get it up there..
i still have a little air hunger feelings and get a little panic-y if i drink coffee- BUT i can now drink espresso for the most part and be ok. i have not had a panic attack in probably 5 months now.
sending love to you all, i know panic attacks suck so badly <3

2024.05.29 03:20 vanillakupkake My son has blue sclera at 12 years old

Hello, I am desperate for answers for myself as my health has been an issue since I was like 12, and getting worse over the last 2 years. But I am here about my kid.
My son 12, has been complaining about joint pain recently (about year, since turning 12). His dad is tall and keeps saying it is growing pain. I think growing pains are supposed to stop at puberty for the most part.
It started as growing pain (shin and thigh). Then it was knee hurting, and now it is hip. I went through the same issues at his age, but I was accused of being fat and lazy. My son is not fat, maybe a half inch of fat on his abdominal muscles.
The other things he has blue sclera, I found out because I was talking to my doctor about my diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta and was showing my son. His is the same color and his dad's is not. My son has not broken a bone. He has fallen and should have broken a bone if he had osteogenesis imperfecta ( like I broke a few).
He is also getting migraines (2x/week) and dizziness (3x/yr). I got that too at that age.
The other day he was twisting a sheet and it seemed as though he subluxed his shoulder. I walked him thorough breathing as we manually shifted it with the breathing until he felt it "go back".
I am wondering if maybe it could be EDS.
I will talk to his doctor about this, but until then, I want to know what might be important to list, and what is irrelevant.
I have more to add about myself, but this isn't about me. I can answer questions if need be. I am posting in another subreddit as well.

2024.05.29 03:18 ChemEGeek2014 Tired of not being listened to

I am so sick of doctors and midwives not listening to me. I have extremely short cycles and short luteal phases. It took 15 months and a miscarriage to have my daughter and that was with a 9-10 day luteal phase. Now I’m trying for a second. I had a midwife appointment last week, and I asked for progesterone supplements because I think I have low progesterone problems after having my kid. I ovulate (LH and BBT), but I get my period 6-8 days later. She insisted that I haven’t tried long enough and refused to prescribe a supplement or even blood testing. I had implantation cramps Saturday, tested positive Monday, and then started bleeding today. All of my pregnancy tests are darker, and the miscarriage pain has been unbelievable. I am so sad and mad and angry. I could have kept this one if she had just listened to me!!!! I know my body!
