Dyshidrosis is a skin condition that is characterized by small blisters on the hands or feet. It is an acute, chronic, or recurrent dermatosis of the fingers, palms, and soles, characterized by a sudden onset of many deep-seated pruritic, clear vesicles; later, scaling, fissures and lichenification occur. Recurrence is common and for many can be chronic.
2024.05.22 00:52 Formal-Technical Arm DVT not dissolving
Hey, everyone! I frequent this sub not as someone with a blood clot myself but because my mom has been dealing with an Upper Extremity DVT since October and we come here to see other’s experiences. She’s been on Eliquis since October but recently her arm swelling has peaked, as well as pain in her and arm shoulder - believed by her PCP to be caused from “frozen shoulder” since her fear has kept her from moving her arm. She also is a breast cancer survivor with no lymph nodes on that side so, we thought swelling was normal.
She went in for an ultrasound to check on the status and we just heard that it hasn’t dissolved at all. In fact, they called it a 4 cm mass and are wanting a CT given her cancer history.
Of course, we’re scared, frustrated, and confused. Any experience on Eliquis not working. If she has to have surgery to remove this, what was your experience with that?
Any comments are welcome and we’re grateful for your input.

2024.05.22 00:40 e_b_deeby should we be worried about liver pain, given these conditions? [potential STI]
pt is a 24 year old Black male, 6'3, 226lb, who does not smoke and only drinks occasionally. his only other known medical condition is eczema, which has been a lifelong problem for him. a recent testicular ultrasound revealed a 6mm cyst on the epididymal head of his left testis; there were no other findings of note.
on the 21st of february (2024), pt was exposed to a mystery STI from oral sex with another male [both giving and receiving if that's anything] that seems consistent with syphilis (a single painless spot on his pubic area, lasting about a week; a swollen lymph node in neck; itching, pain, and fissures around the anus; epididymitis; discomfort urinating). however, all syphilis RPR tests administered by his physicians have been negative. he has had four so far: one 8 days after exposure, one 14 days, another at 47, and a fourth at about 81. no other types of syphilis tests have been offered to him so far.
his urinalyses have returned fairly normal with the exception of his bilirubin levels, which have been steadily worsening since april (have slowly gone from 1.1 to 1.6 to 1.8 mg/dL since april 6th). he also consistently shows trace amounts of blood in his urine.
previous attempts to treat his condition with antibiotics (specifically doxycycline, azithromycin, and rocephin; at one point he was also prescribed cipro but that didn't seem to do much) have been successful at alleviating symptoms, but they have always returned within a week or two's time.
this morning, pt was complaining of upper right quadrant pain. the pain reportedly went away with water + a nap, but i'm still worried on his behalf, especially given the heightened bilirubin.
should i drag him to the ER for further evaluation just to be safe?? is there anything else we should be looking for in terms of causes of these symptoms?? thank you in advance for your advice. i've been running myself ragged trying to find a doctor irl whom he can afford + will take his concerns seriously.

2024.05.22 00:08 Coldpizza73 Gamma Knife treatment/what questions should we be asking
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this or if it isn’t really answerable. I’ll try to make this as short as possible, but my father over the last year has been having treatment for lung cancer that spread to his lymph nodes over the last year and several months.
The chemotherapy worked, clearing the lungs and lymph nodes. Unfortunately, some cells made it to the brain during all of this. That’s when they made the transition to brain surgery. The first round of gamma knife they removed three. We had to wait for the inflammation to go down, and when they went for the CT Scan there was two more. So they scheduled another Gamma Knife treatment for yesterday, Monday. Before surgery on Monday two more had developed since the CT scan two weeks ago. The surgery went well and they are back home. They are having a PET Scan scheduled to see if the cells are being sent from somewhere else that other scans have missed or if it is just remnants from the lung cancer. So there is a plan forward but it all has felt very jolted.
My wife and I are 6 hours away from my parents and information has been semi-sparse. They are kind of in a “whack-a-mole” situation with the tumors forming, and are being bounced between the brain surgeon, oncologist (which theirs just took a leave of absence so they need to find a new one), and the radiologist.
Im am not the most medically literate person and my parents are less so. I was hoping to see what questions we should be asking the doctors? I know this is not the place and everything is different for each individual, but should we be preparing for him to only have a couple years left? Maybe less? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for reading.

2024.05.21 23:59 bunnygirl1716 Fever swollen lymph node, and night sweats for 10+ days, should I be concerned?
Hi I am a 24F 5'4, 140 lbs, and live in USA. No existing medical issues, no smoking or recreational drugs.
I have been having fevers off and on for the past 10 days with the highest getting to 101 as well as night sweats and one swollen lymph node on my left cervical neck. COVID, Flu, RSV, and Mono negative. Should I be concerned? I am also so fatigued I have trouble finishing a shift at work.

2024.05.21 23:56 fancymovez How to read CA 19-9 results
 | My mom was diagnosed 11/2022 with a pancreatic tumor which was removed 12/2022 via the Whipple procedure. Her CA 19-9 was 10 u/ml at that time. She has since had 2 chemo treatments. One right after surgery Modified Folfirinox, and now Paclitaxel. Btw her chemo treatments the cancer spread to her liver and a few lymph nodes which is why the 2nd chemo. The mets to her liver and lymph nodes were very small. A scan a couple of months ago showed them shrinking. Having a pet scan next week. During all that time her CA 19-9 has been at less than 2 u/ml. I didn’t even know what the CA 19-9 was until I started reading this subreddit, so I went back through her tests to see what hers was. And it has always read as normal so I’m confused. I’ll ask her doctor about it next week, but hoped someone here could help me understand. I figured it would have been way higher. submitted by fancymovez to pancreaticcancer [link] [comments] |
2024.05.21 23:54 jknj1993 Feeling a lot better!
30m and have been lurking on here since I first started twitching 7 months ago. I just wanted to share my experience, although I do fear I will be very long winded...TLDR I got really anxious, body started acting really weird, focused on physical/mental improvements, started feeling better!
I think this story will sound quite familiar for everyone on here...after a period of inactivity I began experiencing unfamiliar physical sensations that started ringing alarm bells in my head. I had lingering shoulder pain for no discernible reason that was radiating down my arm and giving tingles into my neck area. When this hung around for a couple of months, I made a visit to my GP and they paid it no mind. As it started getting worse, our old friend Dr. Google of course was telling me that this is MS. The feeling of numbness started spreading and I basically was melting down for the entire winter over this. A family friend who is a neurologist recommended finding a colleague of his locally just to check that box and move on.
As this was all peaking, I started to notice a squirming feeling in the arch of my foot, along with tightness/cramping along my entire leg. This eventually settled into pretty constant foot twitches and pain across my entire foot. I was continuing to shut down and those around me were quite aware that something was wrong with me. I agreed of course, and was insisting it was a neurological problem. They then agreed with that, and that the problem was my anxiety.
I finally had my appointment with the neurologist in February and he identified zero issues during his clinical exam. He did order an EMG on my arm due to the length of time that the shoulder issue was lingering. It was of course completely clean, and he couldn't have been less interested concerning my foot/leg. I showed him a video of my foot spasming, and he remarked "that is as relevant of a symptom to there being a major issue as your eyes being brown." He said to see an orthopedic doctor and that I won't need to see a neurologist for at least 40 years.
This offered temporary relief, and my shoulder started feeling better. But as that was happening, the twitches started spreading all over. First it moved across to my other foot, and then up my calves into my lower thigh near my knees. I started freaking out again. The foot pain was persisting, so I visited the orthopedic doctor. They couldn't really identify any sort of problem and referred me to a neurophysiologist to perform an EMG on my legs.
As I waited patiently for the month to pass until that appointment, I decided that I needed to have a mentality shift with this situation. It was time to focus on the things that I can control, which is both my physical activity and mental health. I started working with a physical therapist and also a CBT therapist. Both have been invaluable! I started seeing physical improvement and continued to push myself exercise wise. I made it a point of emphasis to walk at least 2.5 miles every day and to resume pickup basketball/golfing. I made big strides with my therapist and they ended up referring me to a psychiatrist. Eventually an SSRI was recommended and that has been a big help as well.
The EMG date came, and even though I had started feeling better, I was extremely nervous. My twitches were very wide spread (foot, calf, knee, thigh, butt, abs, neck, biceps, triceps, forearm, and hands) and still causing me distress. The EMG was completely clean with zero findings, which of course everyone predicted.
It has been a month since then, and I'm feeling the best I have physically and mentally in 2 years. I'm still twitching all over, mostly in my legs, but it has been reduced by quite a margin. I have no interest in going back to see any doctors for quite some time. This twitching stuff is so distressing at first and the periods of uncertainty/confusion are legitimately traumatizing. I just felt that it was really important to share a positive story for others that are still in that period of time.
Please feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk, and focus on improving the things that are within your control!

2024.05.21 23:31 fuckthemshills Miserable migraines
Feeling like absolute dog balls today. 29 YO male went 4 years undiagnosed just dealing. Newly diagnosed and feel like a cry baby some days. Today as soon as I got to work my vision in my left eye went completely blurry and saw auras. Proceeded to lose the auras but then my left arm and tongue went numb. Is there connection between these migraines and my MS?

2024.05.21 23:31 HuckleberrySorry7784 Mammogram tomorrow
First mammogram
NOT OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED
To preface, I am 23 years old.
I have a very stronger history of family breast cancer, Gma passed away from it (diagnosed 32), my mom has had breast cancer SIX times (among having three other types of cancer as well (she’s less than 50)), and the first time she was 27. My mom and sister tested positive for BRCA1 and I’m currently working on getting tested but y’all know insurance. But anywho, I recently found a Nickle size mass, and figured I’d bring it up to my doctor. During her exam, she pointed out a wayyy bigger mass. I have felt this for a while now but my old doctors in my home state told me it was nothing and at the time it was tiny, so I’ve always thought it was my breast tissue. The big mass covers multiple quadrants of my breast, both lower quads, and the mass i felt I thought it was a lymph node but I don’t know and I have to wait for my apps. I also have a small ball (I’m assuming lymph node?) in my arm pit that is hard.
And I’m well aware that it could be any number of things, just with my family history, Some of my symptoms are: Random boob pain Dimpling My lower half seems squishier? Also looks a little discolored compared to the other one. getting wayyyyyy more sick lately than I have my whole life I have had night sweats for almost 2 years now I have also lost 70 pounds since first noticing symptoms with 40 of those pounds being since November! I now have a BMI of 17 🥲. Working hard on gaining weight but get so sick or full so quickly and nothing sounds good or taste good.
I know not to compare myself to anyone because every case is different and I’m not only my families bad genes, I just want to know other opinions, and stories so I know what to expect for my mammogram and if anyone else has had anything similar to this! I have my mammogram in two days so I am definitely getting more anxious about it all! I hate being so young dealing with this, and trying to understand that I could be the lucky one but just trying to look at the facts and family history with continuous young diagnosis (sister had double mast after precancerous cells and positive brca1 at 25). In just so conflicted and kind of mourning the fact that my last summer before I start my career will be filled with test and imaging and drs apps and I knows that’s selfish but I just graduated college not retired from being the professor. I don’t want to deal with this right now of all times but i know this is something not to play with or wait on.

And I’m well aware that it could be any number of things, just with my family history, Some of my symptoms are: Random boob pain Dimpling My lower half seems squishier? Also looks a little discolored compared to the other one. getting wayyyyyy more sick lately than I have my whole life I have had night sweats for almost 2 years now I have also lost 70 pounds since first noticing symptoms with 40 of those pounds being since November! I now have a BMI of 17 🥲. Working hard on gaining weight but get so sick or full so quickly and nothing sounds good or taste good.
I know not to compare myself to anyone because every case is different and I’m not only my families bad genes, I just want to know other opinions, and stories so I know what to expect for my mammogram and if anyone else has had anything similar to this! I have my mammogram in two days so I am definitely getting more anxious about it all! I hate being so young dealing with this, and trying to understand that I could be the lucky one but just trying to look at the facts and family history with continuous young diagnosis (sister had double mast after precancerous cells and positive brca1 at 25). In just so conflicted and kind of mourning the fact that my last summer before I start my career will be filled with test and imaging and drs apps and I knows that’s selfish but I just graduated college not retired from being the professor. I don’t want to deal with this right now of all times but i know this is something not to play with or wait on.
2024.05.21 23:29 Chinmama82 Frustrated with Healing
I'm 4 weeks post-op from a ulner nerve transposition on my dominant arm. Today was my first day back to work and I'm incredibly frustrated. I'm in a great deal of pain and the numbness that had subsided has returned I also have a great deal of weakness that wasn't there previously. My day consisted of just regular desk work. I'm just wondering how long this is going to go on for? I know no one can really give me an answer as we all heal different but I'm dreading going back tomorrow. I'm actually trying to find coverage for the rest of the week.

2024.05.21 23:17 lovelightpaint Do I have insulin resistance?
I have been having more numbness in my arms and hands. And if I drink to much sweet drinks I get tired. I been having a lot of brain fog. If I stay up to late past 8:30 I get hungry and I cave and eat. Im trying to go to bed earlier. I just have noticed that I think I can’t stay up at all with out getting extremely hungry. Once I eat a sweet food I can’t stop. Im currently trying to lose weight. Im going to cook more and eat between 10:30am-5pm and hopefully that works with tracking calories. When I have gotten a diabetes check. It always comes back negative. But can I still get stuff for diabetics and check my blood sugar?

It appears the disease has spread in my mouth and has affected my mewing streak. I cannot bear this disease longer. I am suffocating under the GYATT. I accept my demise and now sort out to find out more about the update. Keep sure to kill as much elves as possible. Each elf gone is an problem solved and this will help the Worldbox community.

2024.05.21 22:40 AppleAcceptable1968 Experiences with stage 4 sarcoma
I am 24 years old. I'm just looking to hear some (hopefully positive) stories about people with stage 4 sarcoma. What was your treatment like, prognosis, how are you doing now, etc?
Recently got told I have advanced stage 4 cancer. They've still yet to identify the specific type of sarcoma, but it has spread to my lymph nodes near the right side of my abdomen. It is heartbreaking to hear I can't cure this disease, only treat it and extend my life.

2024.05.21 22:34 RangerHikes Manual G70 Ownership Experience
Two summers ago, I drove 7 hours one way to buy a 2019 Manual Genesis G70. It was used, not certified preowned, with just under 12K miles. The OEM tires were approaching the end of their useful life. It had one scratch on the rear passenger door and an annoying dealership permanent sticker on the trunk. It also only had one key. The head unit infotainment screen also had a small delamination crack - visible if you looked close but not perceptible if you ran your fingers across it. I bought it as is, though Genesis has a stellar warranty that transfers to the second owner so I still had 2 years warranty remaining. It was too far away for me to get it to a trusted mechanic to PPI, so the warranty was a huge factor.
On a long drive to the beach, the screens began to flicker. The car still ran mechanically fine, but it was alarming. I also noticed I couldn't get the Genesis Connected Services to work. A few weeks later, the screens were flickering again in my driveway. I shut the car off thinking if I just shut it off and turned it back on it would fix itself - for about 5 minutes I couldn't restart the car. It was as though it had a completely dead battery. I took it to my local dealer which unfortunately is an hour away but fortunately is reached through a combination of great back roads and highways. They were unable to replicate the issue but decided to attribute it to the head unit and replaced the entire thing on the basis of the delamination crack being covered by warranty. A week after I got the car back, the screens flickered again. I tried doing an over the air software update with Genesis Corporate over the phone and it kept failing, so we went back to the dealership. They manually did the update. After a few more weeks, the screens flickered again. I took it back down and they decided to go nuclear, completely uninstalling all software and updates from the car and then reinstalling the latest software as a clean slate. When I got it back - my genesis connected services were working and the screens never flickered again. BUT. My backup camera would now randomly stop working. I took it back and they tried a patch update to the backup camera software as well as replacing a crush washer that's apparently a known failure point for the backup camera. The problem persisted. They informed me there is a sensor in the transmission that tells the backup camera when the car is in reverse and when to turn on. That sensor apparently failed, and the solution is apparently to replace the entire transmission. I personally found that insane, but a new clutch and transmission covered fully under warranty? Sure, I'll enjoy your courtesy car a little longer. Yeah, on that note. Having the car in and out of the shop so often was annoying, but it was all covered under Genesis phenomenal warranty, the dealership was surprisingly patient, understanding and communicative, and since they're an hour away I had an opportunity to enjoy some courtesy cars on a good mix of backroads and highways. The courtesy cars I had in no particular order...
What's not so good? The trunk has a high load floor so even though you have a good opening and footprint, it's shallow. It's not unusable, it's just not as deep as you'd expect it to be. I was still able to fit everything my spouse, my dog and I needed for a week at the beach. Speaking of long trips - no spare tire. That pissed me off. Not even a space saver? Come on. I think it should be a legal requirement that all cars have at least a space saver. In any case, this car can accept the same space saver spare kit the 3.3 model comes with or the Kia Stinger comes with. I ordered the parts online and installed a space saver spare myself. The backup camera shuts off as soon as you're out of reverse, even if you're rolling backwards in neutral. This is a nitpick, but I do wish the backup camera would stay on until I was rolling forward. Speaking of reverse, the pedal box is tight and I usually wear an 11 or 12 shoe depending on the brand. With certain shoes, I have to modify my left foot motion because my toe will catch the arm of the clutch pedal. Not impossible, but it can be annoying in certain pairs of shoes or if you have big feet.
Clutch and Transmission :: I'm gonna give this it's own section because I feel like this is a very case sensitive matter. Manuals I drove before this - a 2011 Subaru Outback. First manual car I bought and I drove it for 120K miles before an old dude in a Yukon totaled it. Some people have said they don't enjoy the feeling of this transmission, I don't have much to compare it to. I think the stick feel is fine. The actual clutch is a toss up for me. It's hydraulic, so on one hand it's buttery smooth and easy and very forgiving if you're doing a drive through or in stop and go traffic - things I took pains to avoid in my outback. The flip side is, the pedal gives you very little feedback. The bite point is harder to feel and it definitely numbs the experience a bit. If you're looking for a very raw, analog feeling transmission this is not it. This feels much more like an entry level luxury sport sedan that was given a manual just because it would be cool to have a manual, but also trying to do one in such a way that it wouldn't alienate luxury car buyers who generally find manuals to be a nuisance.
Would I go through it all again? Absolutely. The dealer trips were annoying but it let me test drive some cool stuff and I never paid a dime. The only thing I paid for was an oil change, a new set of tires (not from the dealer) and a new key cause I wanted to have two. The key was $700 which is offensive but unfortunately not unheard of with modern cars. The car is a blast. If you want a smallish, luxuryish, sportscarish vehicle that gives you a lot of nice stuff without being too expensive or too harsh, check out a G70. If you're a manual purist, you may love it or hate it - the clutch is definitely a sticking point for many people. Genesis Dealer? Mine is great, thank god. But I have heard plenty of horror stories from other owners who went to more Hyundai focused dealers. Maintenance? No mechanical issues at all, just weird software related glitches that were all covered under warranty. Mods? Not really planning anything big. I added a sun strip to the windshield, a dash cam and wiring for my radar detector. Also the spare tire. And I put PS4s on it. I plan to keep it stock - at least until it's paid off and the warranty is out.
Questions for reddit :: Catch cans! Should I have one on this car? Is there a recommended brand? Do your mechanics charge you more to empty them or do you empty them yourselves? What does a catch can do that the OEM air oil separator doesnt?
TL;DR :: I like my manual G70. It isn't very fast, but I like it.

The courtesy cars I had in no particular order...
- 2023 Genesis G70, 2.0 Turbo AWD. Felt heavy and the automatic transmission seems to take up more space in the center console than the manual. Definitely quicker than my car, but I don't enjoy the weightyness to it. I think it might have something to do with how the power is being put down? Like it IS faster than my car and it DOES have better traction in corners but it FEELS much heavier.
- 2023 Sonata N-Line. Feels fast and light but not for me. The interior after getting out of a G70 is a let down and the front wheel drive and extra power don't do enough to make up for it. To clarify - I think this is a fun car if you want a quick, front wheel drive sedan - but it's not my cup of tea.
- 2022 Genesis G80. Cannot say enough good things about this car. Feels like a true luxobarge. Gorgeous, comfortable, quiet interior, everything feels heavy and expensive but it also has the power to get out of its own way. This was by far, hands down, no comparison, the best courtesy car I've ever been given. I'd go as far as to say it's one of the best cars I've ever driven in my life. That's relative of course, but it really was just such an impressive vehicle. It was hard to find anything not to like about it.
- 2023 Genesis G70, 3.3 twin turbo AWD. Holy hell this thing moves. So, this car has the sunroof - which I hate. In G70s with the sunroof, I have to put the seat all the way on the floor to have headroom. I'm 5'11" with a 32 inch inseam if that gives you an idea of my torso/leg ratio. It also had the same heavyness I felt in the 2.0 AWD courtesy car - it's something to do with the AWD but I don't know if it's how the system moves power around or if it's literally just the added weight of the system. It doesn't feel flickable the way my RWD car feels. And before you call me an idiot for describing my G70 as flickable, understand it's all relative and I haven't owned or driven that many performance cars in my life. I know my car isn't a miata. That all being said. So. Freaking. Fast. The V6 has a really unique sound to it unlike any other V6 I've experienced, I can't decide if I like it or not but it's definitely unique. The speed is really incredible and the AWD makes it so usable. You can floor it turning right or left off the line at a stoplight and it will hold the road and put the power down. If I weren't so sure this car would get me arrested, I'd want one.
What's not so good? The trunk has a high load floor so even though you have a good opening and footprint, it's shallow. It's not unusable, it's just not as deep as you'd expect it to be.

I am a 23 year old female. The last five days I have had 3 swollen lymph nodes get worse in my righr armpit. They are painful and achy. Last night I felt an ache in my left armpit and felt a small one starting to form in my left armpit. However, I do not feel sick whatsoever. I have fatigue and body aches. The last three nights I have woke up hot and sticky, I wouldn't say drenched in sweat, but I have woke up with pain in both armpits last night.

2024.05.21 22:09 charlotteharpermck Hi thycan warriors! Can you help me understand?
I know I don’t need to preface, but because my story is a rare one and having health anxiety myself, I want you to be encouraged that if you have micro papillary thyroid cancer, the odds are very much in your favor that it won’t even become clinically significant. I was still given an excellent prognosis given my current situation.
It started with a thyroid nodule that ultimately grew to be 4.5ish cm. I had a biopsy- benign. I only got surgery because it started to impact my swallowing. My surgeon (expert thyroid cancer ENT) warned me it is very common for path to come back with incidental microPTC, and not to be alarmed by this finding. Fast forward to my path report post surgery. Benign follicular adenoma, .5mm PTC- classic (clear margins, no invasion or extension, and 3 benign lymph nodes). I don’t think you can get much lower risk than that, seeing as he also electively removed 3 nodes, just in case, that didn’t look suspicious. This was September 2022. Sparing details in between (they didn’t look at my thyroid again in between because of pregnancy), I was diagnosed with metastatic thyroid cancer. I got a central and lateral neck dissection at the end of last month. 6 positive lymph nodes. The largest metastatic site was 8mm- larger than the nodule. I was told RAI would be next but nuclear medicine also said, I could opt for close monitoring and treat if there is a recurrence. Maybe bc it was initially a micro nodule? If there is a recurrence though, couldn’t that be distant as well? That seems not chill, but maybe it is more than I realize? Is that normal to end up in 6 nodes in 19 months?
Have any of you had microPTC that had distant spread? Or local reoccurrence after surgery? Speak to me friends! ❤️

2024.05.21 22:02 RandomAmbles (Cosmopolis) After The Northern Court {Year 0004, January}
Random had stood and made his case Before The Northern Court of the Arch Fae and it had gone... well?
He had dealed and bargained, tricked and charmed, willed and won a place for human nature among the spirits of the frozen top of the world. At one point, he'd used a small trick he'd learned from a game to create tiny auroras and used his knowledge of the cosmos to convince the arch fey of the north that he was the regent of Polaris, come to bridge the elemental metals of the deep Earth with the stars. It had technically been a lie, but they'd bought it.
Still, there was a feeling deep in the pit of his stomach that told him that this was not over yet, and almost as soon as he had the thought, he woke in the mountain cave he'd wandered to in order to seek out the Fay, with a splitting headache, short of breath. By the faint embers left in the dark cave, he could see the snow had pilled up in front of the cave entrance and the room had filled with smoke from the fire while he meditated.
*crap*
He tried standing up to get over to the entrance as fast as possible. Immediately, his vision blossomed into blooms of pain and he had to still himself.
Ok. Bad idea. That was absolutely horrible.
Slowly then.
On hands and knees he struggled forward, low to the ground, trying to control his increasingly urge-driven gasping breathing, as if through a house on fire. Reaching the snow-covered entrance, he tried to melt it with a simple thermal spell from his fingers... to find that nothing at all had happened. His magic was simply gone. Without breath, he could neither maintain concentration nor incant words of power upon the world.
But he could dig.
And crawl.
And try to tunnel with his arms outstretched.
Utill a numb purple hand, and then an arm, and a shoulder and a head and a body emerged into the freezing dark night air, which cut into his lungs like shards of ice. But he was alive.
And as breath slowly returned to him, after an hour or so of lying exhausted, completely spent in his vaguely warm cloak on the terribly cold, empty snowy plain, he realized something strange...
But he wasn't really sure what it was at first.
And then he noticed:
He was looking up at the sky.
And the strange thing was that the sky seemed to be looking down at him, Polaris ever so slightly above the center of his vision.
And just as he noticed this, as if in answer, it burst into aurora brighter than any he had ever seen.
And then he noticed something else, perhaps the oddest thing of all:
His own arm, outstretched, the five points of his fingers reaching out on their own and casting the colors into the sky.
"huh... that's... really cool."
And then he fell unconscious.
...
A day later, a search party that had set out to find him and followed the aurora to the mountains north of cosmopolis found his body, cold and frostbitten, but alive. They brought him back and placed him in a hot spring to recover.

2024.05.21 21:54 Different-Ad-2515 Please help-current info on marker CD-79b
Hi, I’m just diagnosed a few days ago with B cell NHL, not sure yet of the sub-type. This is one of the markers listed in my pathology report on the lymph node they removed, and I’m really freaking out about seeing online some things that said this is not good news for outcomes. Can you let me know if this is true and like any idea how bad this is? I haven’t gotten to see the oncologist yet and I’m frankly really scared. Thanks!

2024.05.21 21:48 tweezy_14 Matcha benefits vs. coffee?
Hey guys, I used to be a big coffee drinker but had to give it up because it would make my symptoms worse. Throat would hurt, muscles would tense up, and lymph nodes would throb.
I was desperate for a solution. I noticed energy drinks would recreate the same negative effects as coffee, and so would yerba mate.
Chai was the first coffee substitute I could drink in small quantities without recreating the negative symptoms.
I then accidentally stumbled upon matcha and barely notice any negative effects when I drink it.
I've tried to figure out why matcha is different than the other drinks I've mentioned but can't figure out what it is.
Anyone experience similar things, or have any thoughts on why I can tolerate matcha but not coffee?

My wife has a strange asymmetry in her clavicle region. She is worried the right side (left side in photos) is a tumor swollen lymph node. It feels more like a muscle or tendon, and protrudes a lot when flexed.
When we took the pictures her left lateral? muscle seems much more developed as well, she often holds our daughter on that side. We’re going to schedule a GP visit, but curious to get some input on what this might be. Muscle asymmetry, tumor, lymph node, something else?

2024.05.21 21:31 Ms_Emilys_Picture How often do you do things for yourself that you wouldn't do for a client?
I'm running a 5-day powerbuilding split, but I injured my shoulder. Now, at least for upper body, I'm doing mostly hypertrophy work with low weights.
However, it's mind-numbingly boring. There's no challenge and I'm not having fun bench pressing 15 lb. dumbbells, so I was thinking about adding a sixth workout a week for dynamic/explosive exercises. Power cleans, box jumps, barbell thrusters (if I can do them), etc. It won't help with hypertrophy or rehabbing my shoulder, but I know I'll enjoy it.
Would I do this for a client? Doubtful. But I know my body can handle it, so I'll probably go ahead and add it.
How often do you do things for yourself that you wouldn't do, or even warn them against doing, for a client?
Edit: Oh! And I'm also occasionally doing lopsided weights. Every now and then I'll use a proper weight for my right arm/shoulder on the last set. Today, I was benching with 15 in one hand and 35 in the other on the same set. (It's my smaller arm/side anyway, or at least that's how I'm justifying it to myself.)
