2024.05.21 15:37 Express-Structure480 Does anyone else’s tongue get red/white bumps that make it sore/painful?
This never really happened on a SAD diet but has happened a few times on wfpb. Parts of my tongue especially near the molars gets very sore which makes it difficult to eat. I think it’s allergies but I’m not sure. I supplement b vitamins with b complex, in the past I went heavy on nutritional yeast and quality methylcobalamin, no change.

2024.05.21 15:21 unavngiven My mom died... [Very long post]
This is my first reddit post, although I have been a long time lurker of many subreddits. I am 23 years old and an only child. I am not a native english speaker, so please forgive any weird formatting or any spelling/grammar mistakes.
As the title states, my mom died ... and I am currently writing this to try and process this whole situation. I've tried to section all the paragraphs in chronological order, to make reading easier. Sorry for the extremely long post - I just needed to get it all out.
We only just celebrated her 60th birthday back in february. She did all the cooking, cleaning and planning without any trouble - even down to picking out the perfect napkins and flowers for her white and gold theme.
My mother was without a job. She had been jobless for almost 2 years now, after she was fired from her old cleaning job due to frequent sick days because of stomach cramps and pain. She was seen by a doctor back in 2022 for her stomach aches, and they found no physical cause - hence why we concluded it must've been due to stress. The stress and stomach pains subsided after she'd been fired. So we thought no more of it.
In march she was doing a 4-week internship in a local supermarket to see if she might've been a good fit for a permanent paid position. This is common practice for unemployeed people here in Denmark.
My mother started having stomach pains again during this internship, soon followed by back pains as well. She figured this was due to her spending most of the day sitting as a cashier in an uncomfortable position. My mother wasn't very tall, so she had trouble reaching the floor pedals that control the cashier conveyer belt.
In the beginning of april, she went to the doctor. Her stomach and back pains hadn't gone away although the internship was over. Her doctor also concluded it was most likely due to her uncomfortable working position, and that it would pass in a few weeks time. The doctor did some bloodwork, and found that she was severely lacking vitamin D, but nothing else seemed concerning at the time.
In the middle of april, her pains had only gotten worse, and she went to the doctor again. Her doctor did more bloodwork, and did a phisycal exam of my mothers stomach. Her doctor ordered a CT scan to check for anything serious.
19th of april. I accompany my mother to the hospital for her CT scan. We get told that we'll have the results in a week or so. My mother is not looking good when I pick her up at the bus station. She is more pale than usual, and has trouble walking at her usual pace.
23th of april. My mother received a referral to a meeting at the hospital with a doctor and nurse, to discuss the results of the CT scan. This referral is sent from the hospitals cancer department. My mother and I speak on the phone, she is concerned, but I tell her that this type of referral must just be standard pratice, and that she shouldn't worry untill we have spoken with the doctor. I cried that night.
25th of april. The day before her meeting with the doctor, I received a phone call from my mother. She tells me that she had fallen while at home, but that I shouldn't worry. I, of course, worry.
I pack my things and leave for my mothers house, I live an hour away by bus. When I finally arrive my mother seems okay-ish, but the house is another story. My mother is normally known for being a clean freak, and her house has always been clean and organized, But it wasn't anymore.
Her kitchen was a mess, and the dishwasher hadn't been empited or loaded for at least two weeks. Her bathroom is even worse, and I won't even begin to describe the state of the toilet it self. It is a sight that will horrify me for the rest of my life. I cleaned everything, while my mother rested.
My mother had also started sleeping on the guest bed, saying her own was too uncomfortable for her.
While cleaning the bathroom, my mother wakes up. Despite her state, she says she wants to help. But before I can even tell her no, my mother has another fall. Her legs essentially just crumble beneath her, and she falls backwards and lands head first on the floor. We argue back and forth about calling an ambulance, but she refuses to let me - so I don't, even though I should have. I guess I still respected my moms authority too much.
My mother lives alone, as my parents are divorced (they are very good friends though). My mother refuses to let me call my dad and tell him about this whole situation. She is stubborn and too proud to admit defeat.
26th of april. We take a taxi to the hospital. The taxi driver has a help my mother into the car. During the carride my mother says very little, but seems slightly delirious and very tired. When we arrive at the hospital, I quickly borrow a hospital wheelchair for my mother. She is almost unable to walk unassisted at this point.
After waiting for a while in the waiting area, a nurse comes and guides us to a meeting room. My mother is very tired at this point, and still delirious, and I have to handle most of the conversation with the doctor.
The CT scan results showed Pancreatic cancer. The cancer had already spread to her liver and abdomial cavity.
I had read about this cancer a few days prior, trying to figure out what was wrong with my mother. I knew what this meant, and I knew that it was effectively a death sentence. The doctor told us that an operation was out of the question, since the cancer had already spread. And due to the clearly weak state of my mothers health, chemo would also not be offered, as it would finish her.
I told the doctor of her two falls and the state of her home, and that she would not be safe on her own. The doctor had her admitted to a nearby bed department for stomach- and gastrointestinal surgery patients.
The hospital did a ton of bloodwork on my mother when she got admitted, and everything was off. All numbers were either too high or dangerously low. My mothers health was in fact so bad, that I was told she was a heart attack risk. I was also told that if a heart attack happened, she would not be brought back - as it would only prolong a very short and painful life.
I called my dad.
27th of april. My mother slept most of the day.
28th of april. My mother had another fall during the night, trying to get to the bathroom.
29th of april. My dad shows up to the hospital. He wasn't able to get off work until now, as he works in the other end of the country. He is shocked to see my mother in this state. We are told once again by a different doctor that nothing can be done. They are looking into getting her a spot at a nearby hospice.
The rest of the remaining week is spent in hospital. My dad and I are by my mothers side every day. She doesn't leave her hospital room, apart from a few times a day for a smoke break outside. My dad and I take her outside in a wheelchair, which she needs help to get in and out of.
Her bloodwork is showing some slight improvements, but she is still having trouble with infections and receives a lot of antibiotics. She eats like a mouse, but drinks a lot of fluids.
My mother is often very confused or tired most days. She gets referred for an MR scan, to see if the cancer has spread to her brain, or if one of her falls has caused permanent damage. Lucikly the MR scan shows that nothing is wrong with her brain.
She gets confused about her diagnosis a few times, thinking that she had brain cancer instead due to the MR scan. I have to remind her a couple times about what the doctor actually said.
6th of may. My mother seems to have stabilized somewhat so my dad has gone back to work.
7th of may. I get told by the hospital staff that my mother is to be transferred to a different hospital, which is one hour away. I become very upset by this news, and unfortunately yell at one of my mothers nurses in frustration. I yell at her that It'll be harder for me to get to my mother in time if something were to happen. I am ashamed of this childish behavior, as the transfer was the best desicion for my mother in hindsight.
I leave with my mother as we get transferred to the new hospital and their department of palliative care.
I am very ashamed by my behavior to my mothers old nurse, as this department for palliative care was truly the best place for my mother. She seemed very satisfied and happy to have been transferred. They have a large garden with wild flowers, and lovely staff. And my mother got a much bigger room all to herself. She also meets with their physical therapist, who helps my mother relieve some of her pain.
My mother and I have dinner together in the evening in her hospital room. My mom is her old self, although with some delayed speaking. I unfortunately have to rush a bit when leaving, as to not miss my bus home, so I quickly say goodbye to her and leave.
8th of may. In the morning on my way to the new hospital, I received a phone call from her new doctor. My mothers liver has suddenly started to fail due to the cancer. When I arrive, she is asleep. I am told she wont wake up again.
I called my dad, but he wont arrive until the evening, due to the distance from his workplace.
I spend most of the day in my mothers hospital room, listening to her sleep. She occasionally attempts to cough in her sleep, but it mainly just sounds like yells. It is terrifying. The nurses give her pain medication and some sleep medication to help her body relax.
My dad arrives in the late evening. We drive to my mothers house and stay the night there. We spend most of the late evening looking at pictures and scrapbooks of my mother, and packing a bag with clothes for her, for when she passes.
When prepareing the guest bed for my dad, we find a blanket that my mother slept on. It is stained, matching the previous state of the bathroom. We throw the blanket out.
9th of may. Mom is sleeping. Dad and I spend the day at the hospital, but we don't sit in her hospital room. It is too eerie and uncomfortable. We check on her occassionally. Towards the evening, her breathing becomes slightly more rapid and quick. But the nurses tell us to go home. There is no reason for us to sit by her side during the night - as it'll only make it worse for us.
10th of may. I wake at 6.12 am to my phone ringing. It is a nurse. My mother has passed away in her sleep at 6.05 that morning due to liver failure. My dad and I drive to the hospital. I am the first to see her body after the nurses prepared and dressed it in the clothing we picked.
(warning: the following paragraph may be slightly upsetting to some readers)
It it eerie and uncomfortable to see my mother like this. A symptom of pancreatic and liver cancers is that your skin will yellow. Something that I hadn't noticed in my mother till now. I cant help but think that she looks like a wax doll, although I feel horrible for thinking it. I finally touch her hand, after gathering the courage to, almost like I am afraid to distrub her. Her hands are cold, and only get colder as I sit by her side. I am supposed to say my goodbyes to her, and tell her how much she means to me, but in this moment I am speechless. I can't say anything, even on my mothers deathbed. I feels wrong to speak to a corpse. I should've said those things while she could hear them instead. I kiss her forehead before I leave the room.
17th of may. Funeral. The church and casket was beautifully decorated with colorful flowers, like my mother had requested. She didn't want anything white or depressing. I cried all the way through the funeral service, stopping only when it was time to carry the casket out. My dad on the left side, and me on the right, and some other family members behind us. Purple rain by Prince was played on the church piano as we carried the casket. I knew the casket would be heavy, but nothing prepared me for the sheer weight of that thing.
21th of may. Today. I don't really know what to think of my mothers death. Some days I almost forget that shes gone or that all this has been happening, until something reminds me of it.
In a way, I am thankful. Of course I didn't want my mother to die, but I'm glad that her suffering wasn't prolonged for months while she slowly withered away to cancer. And I'm thankful that my mother didn't live to suffer from alzheimers, like her own mother. And I am glad that if anything, my mothers death has brought my dad and I closer.
But at the same time, I am angry that she didn't get to live more of her life. She was only 60 years old, and should have had 20 more years at least. If she at least was 70, it might've been easier to lose her but I doubt it.
I think mostly of all the things she will miss out on, which saddens me the most. I am 23 and my mother wont get to see most of my life or my achivements. If I have kids, she'll never meet them, and she I get married, she'll never see it. My 24th birthday is coming up soon, and I don't know how I'll handle that day without my mother for the first time - or christmas for that matter.
I want my mom.

2024.05.21 15:18 Diligent-Plantain-92 I don’t know what to do anymore.
I’ve had candida for two years (was overprescribed antibiotics after getting strep throat, then got a yeast infection afterwards which I took OTC suppositories for, a couple months later is when my symtoms started) and was just finally diagnosed this February after thorough testing by a naturopathic doctor. She had me start taking supplements and I’ve changed my diet but it’s been such a struggle that I feel like I’m doing something wrong and making it worse for myself.
The supplements my doctor has me on are grapefruit seed extract, ADP oregano oil, mastica gum, iodine, vitamin C, vitamin D and a B12 spray. First she told me to take the grapefruit extract, oregano oil and mastica with each meal 3 times per day which initially caused severe die-off and made me feel so awful I was bedridden for two months except for when I had to go to work. When I explained this to her she told me to reduce to one time per day and use a castor oil pack, sauna, and epsom salt baths to support my liver and sweat things out. I mostly used castor oil since my bathtub is uncomfortable and I don’t have access to a sauna.
I’ve only been doing the 3 supplements one time per day for a month and a half now and I have had good and bad days. I’m also just unsure of what to eat anymore at this point. I haven’t had dairy, gluten or sugar in months. I’m scared to eat othet grains like quinoa/teff/millet that are considered “safe” because I don’t know how my body will react or if it will feed the candida at all. Most of what I eat consists of organic chicken, free range organic eggs, salmon (when I can find it), sometimes I would have grass-fed ground beef but haven’t had any for a while out of fear that it may cause issues for me, veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale, collared greens, avocado, cucumber, zucchini, brussel sprouts and asparagus. Sometimes I will roast my own pumpkin seeds or almonds with olive oil and salt but I developed a bad habit of snacking on them too much so I try to avoid them now.
I have a fast metabolism but I’ve gotten so thin and I haven’t had my period for two months. It’s freaking me out and I am terrified. I’m going in for follow-up tests tomorrow and then a follow-up appt in a couple weeks so my doctor can see where I’m at. I just wish I had a proper guide for all of this… I don’t want to give up but I feel so defeated every day. Stress has not been helping either and I’m extremely aware of that, but it’s such a struggle to manage it when this has consumed my life.
If anyone has any thoughts or advice I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe I need something for liver support? Or something else to break the biofilms and move things out of my body more smoothly? Please let me know. I want to heal like everyone else.

2024.05.21 14:59 WeekendDense1916 The Helicobacter Pylori medication has only made it worse.
Keep in mind that I live in a country with a good universal health care system, but in my opinion the administrative part works poorly, and as I think this is taking too long, I have come here to ask for help. Also, they have changed my doctor in the middle of the process, which has slowed everything down. (English is my third language, I'm sorry for my mistakes, or if my expressions are not correct).
28F, 1,61m (5'3''), 57kg (125lbs), I take one pill a month of vitamin D, I don't smoke, I drink very very rarely and I don't do drugs.
I first went to the doctor in mid-January for digestive problems. I have always been prone to diarrhea, but the last few weeks it had been worse than usual. A week later I had blood drawn and gave a stool sample. The blood was fine, but I tested positive for Helicobacter Pylori.
10 days of Pylera medication (120 pills) and 2 gastric protectors per day. I had some discomfort but within normal side effects. I was told that I had to wait a month from the end of the treatment until I was tested again to see if we had killed the bacteria. Two weeks after finishing the treatment I started bleeding every time I went to the bathroom. It wasn't red blood, but it wasn't black either. A dark maroon maybe (?) and with small clots. I called the clinic and they told me that unless it got worse I should wait and that at the test they would do at the end of the one month period they would also do a stool blood test. I bled for a week and a half and by the time the test came back it stopped. Obviously I was negative for blood in stool. Also negative for Helicobacter. But less than a week later I bled intermittently again for a couple of weeks.
Since then I have not bled anymore, but my digestion is bad, different from when I first arrived, but bad. I have the feeling that the medication has spoiled me more than helped.
I have a lot of gas. I have never burped unless it was from drinking a lot of carbonated drinks, but now I am burping a lot every day. My stomach is making noises almost every day. I wake up in the middle of the night with a very sore stomach and when I go to the bathroom it's just to fart, I can sit for half an hour waiting for it to pass. I can't go for a run, a quarter of the times I would go to the gym I cancel because I don't feel well or I do an exercise and I feel dizzy. I don't do abdominal exercises because I feel like everything gets too shaken up. Going out with friends has also reduced. I haven't found an eating pattern that feels bad for me, but I have a very varied diet. It's like until I eat I don't know how I'm going to feel that day.
After many appointments with my family doctor I have finally been given an appointment with the specialist, but it is for a month and a bit from now. June 28th (the appointment request was made on May 1st). I started with this in January, I know I don't need to go to the ER, but I'm tired and I want to get back to normal life without worrying if my stomach will react well that day.
Any help would be appreciated.

28F, 1,61m (5'3''), 57kg (125lbs), I take one pill a month of vitamin D, I don't smoke, I drink very very rarely and I don't do drugs.
I first went to the doctor in mid-January for digestive problems. I have always been prone to diarrhea, but the last few weeks it had been worse than usual. A week later I had blood drawn and gave a stool sample. The blood was fine, but I tested positive for Helicobacter Pylori.
10 days of Pylera medication (120 pills) and 2 gastric protectors per day. I had some discomfort but within normal side effects. I was told that I had to wait a month from the end of the treatment until I was tested again to see if we had killed the bacteria. Two weeks after finishing the treatment I started bleeding every time I went to the bathroom. It wasn't red blood, but it wasn't black either. A dark maroon maybe (?) and with small clots.

2024.05.21 14:26 slidinggenio How I’m almost completely recovered from genioplasty in 14 days
 | Exactly two weeks ago i got a 10mm sliding genio, im now going back to the gym this week, eating steak, talking normally for about a week now and no one notices swelling except myself. submitted by slidinggenio to jawsurgery [link] [comments] Here’s what I did: For food I started drinking calorie dense liquids as much as i could, blended up ice cream with A LOT of whey isolate, collagen and full fat milk was my main source for the first week. Also helps that this is calcium rich. I tried to at least get to maintenance but preferably over what i typically need. I’m a big guy so i need to eat a lot and I do dn’t think i could get sick of ice cream but it happened :/ You’re fooling yourself if you think your body can recover just as fast in a calorific deficit. I slept as much as i could (duh) but seriously this really helps. Alongside this i tried to be as active as possible, i was back on my home treadmill within 2 days and quickly getting up to 10k+ steps. This really helped with swelling and i think i would have recovered slower in general without this. Now for the fun stuff: 1mg BPC 157 a day, easily the BIGGEST contributor to my recovery and i only started it day 6, since then everyday i was 10x better than the previous. Injected subq into the glute. As far as peptides go this is fucking amazing. I also noticed a lot more tingling from my nerves reconnecting after starting BPC, i started with a completely numb lower lip and chin but now they’re almost both back to 100%. Magnesium 500mg Zinc 15mg Glycine 15g Vit D 1000 IU Vit k complex High dose curcumin for swelling Probiotic because antibiotics suck for your gut health Topical vitamin K for bruising, topical arnica is cope don’t bother that shit did nothing. My bruising disappeared very quickly after swapping it for vit k. Incandescent infrared light therapy 10 min a day on my face, i do this for collagen but it probably helped a tiny bit TLDR eat a lot, move a lot, sleep a lot and take bpc 157 don’t be a pussy (kidding) I still have a noticeable amount of swelling (by my standards) especially in my submental and on the front of my chin and can feel that my mandible needs a few more weeks before it’s 100% but functionally i’m so happy to be back to my normal within a shorter than expected timespan. My results look better each day and probably won’t be finalised for at least another few weeks but I was basically good to go from day 10. |

2024.05.21 14:17 already_taken1101 I am always tired and exhausted and I hate myself for being so lazy all the time
I (17F) am feeling so tired and exhausted all the time. I want to study for my exams but I can't find the motivation to sit down and study and even if I do sit, I'll sit there for hours and nothing stays in my head even though I know I have huge exam coming up and I really want to get good grades.
I don't like eating anything throughout the day, I can last the whole day on a bowl of cereal and some fruits. I know I'm not healthy and I should eat properly but looking at food most of the times makes me feel like throwing up. I try telling my parents to get me to a doctor but they just brush it off saying I just need to eat properly and I'll be fine. They don't understand how difficult it is for me to "just eat".
I also started taking Iron and Vitamin supplements but I see no difference in my tiredness and fatigue. Recently, I feel like I could sleep for 12+ hours everyday.
I don't know what I should do.
I have really high aspirations, my teachers and friends have such high hopes for me but I feel like I'm just spoiling everything by wasting so much time sitting down and doing nothing.
I tried talking to a counsellor about having no motivation to sit down and studying and procrastinating all the time. He told me it might be because I'm burnt out with school and exams.
It has become tiring for me to even talk to my best friends who always made me happy. I don't want to go to school, I don't want to see people or talk to anyone. At this point, I just wish I could take a pause from existing. It's not suicidal thoughts because I can't do that to my family and friends, I can't make my younger sister suffer.
Writing all of this out seems like a lame excuse for being lazy, but I hope someone here can help me out. Because no one I talk to seems to understand what I'm feeling like. Everyone just tells me to eat healthy or exercise or get off my phone and everything will be fixed instantly. I know it would. I know doing all of these things would help me, but the problem is, I don't feel like I have the strength or will power to do any of these things.
It's not that I don't want to do good. I want to score good grades on my exam, I want to get into a good college, I want to become successful. But I don't know why I've completely stopped working hard to do anything to achieve my goals. All I want to do is stay in my bed for the whole day and not come out of the covers.
I don't know how to fix myself.

2024.05.21 13:58 piordon Theory vs practice
In theory, you should eat less phosphorus, less potassium and so on. But can anyone actually present an example of full day of eating that covers all your macro and micro nutrients (1.2g of protein per kg, all vitamins and minerals)? IMO that's impossible.

2024.05.21 13:01 quinoapizza Panic disorder
I have developed a panic disorder two years ago. I’ve been to doctors that have given medication—didn’t work, therapists, etc. etc. I know the exact moment/place it struck. From the first time having constant panic attacks since then. I was once someone that travelled the world, would impulsively travel solo, and adventure anywhere I had an opportunity. But it has since taken over my life. I have become avoidant and try everyday to get uncomfortable with the comfortable. But have become completely remote because of that. I get attacks even in bed, can’t drive anymore, can’t do anything really. I’ve just have had issues where now I’ve developed this whole studio room space but am having issues migrating from the bed to the studio—and made it consciously a place that is strictly an anti-anxiety place where I can go to drown my thoughts in my artwork.
I yes also have been diagnosed a few times even later into adulthood by adhd, and I find listening to headphones help, but I get so distracted once in bed instantly by yes screen time. I have done everything, getting up moving my body around, but my bed (which never was) has been my prison for months now. Increasingly isolated but very transparent with friends and family about it, and yes I used to do a lot of exercise running 10 k every other day biking 30 k often, hiking you name it
I know avoidance is the worst tactic, but these attacks are horrible, where I get physically Ill just having to do something from the stress of thinking about it. Or the worst panic episodes I wouldn’t put on anyone. I try to eat good, take magnesium, (cbd when needed) and other vitamins. But it’s hard it’s affecting every component of my life. I feel if I could find some discipline to just drive myself into my studio at least I’m doing something fulfilling

2024.05.21 12:18 cibleunlimited The Kind Of Diet TWICE Nayeon Follows When Her Schedule Is Busy
 | Nayeon (임나연), a member of the popular K-pop girl group TWICE (트와이스) submitted by cibleunlimited to u/cibleunlimited [link] [comments] Nayeon (임나연), a member of the popular K-pop girl group TWICE (트와이스), follows a diet that caters to the demanding nature of her schedule. As with many K-pop idols, maintaining a balanced diet is crucial for sustaining energy levels and staying healthy. Here’s a general outline of what Nayeon (임나연)’s diet might look like when she has a packed schedule: Balanced and Nutritious Meals Nayeon (임나연) focuses on eating balanced meals that include a variety of nutrients. This typically involves:
Grand Parade Coffee Store: Link Snacks To keep her energy levels up throughout the day, Nayeon (임나연) includes healthy snacks between meals. These could be:
Avoiding Junk Food Given the emphasis on health and fitness in the K-pop industry, Nayeon (임나연) avoids junk food and sugary snacks, instead opting for more nutritious options that provide sustained energy without the crash. Portion Control Even with a packed schedule, portion control is important. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help maintain energy levels without feeling too full or sluggish. Dietary Supplements To ensure she’s getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals, Nayeon (임나연) might also take dietary supplements, especially when her diet alone might not suffice due to her hectic schedule. Special Considerations When preparing for comebacks or performances, Nayeon (임나연) might have a more tailored diet plan to maintain her best physical shape. This could involve consultation with nutritionists or dietitians who specialize in working with performers. Flexibility and Moderation While maintaining a strict diet is important, flexibility is also crucial. Nayeon (임나연) might allow herself occasional treats or cheat meals, recognizing the importance of moderation and not being overly restrictive. Nayeon (임나연)’s diet during a packed schedule is well-balanced, focusing on nutrition, hydration, and energy-sustaining foods. She probably avoids unhealthy foods, practices portion control, and may include dietary supplements to ensure she’s meeting her nutritional needs. This balanced approach helps her maintain the energy and health necessary for her demanding career as a K-pop idol. #nayeon #kpop #TWICE |
2024.05.21 12:01 JophieBo Eye infection fiv cat
My Fiv+ cat , weight 5 kg, domestic shorthair, male, has a recurring third eyelid infection. Its red and swollen. He has been on antibiotics twice, one 1 week and once 2 weeks. Also used Novacam both times. He is otherwise doing fine, eats etc. But it has come back again and was hoping someone could give advice on something that could keep it away for good or at least longer. Like perhaps anti infection meds that can be given longer. Also have been looking into ways to boost his immunsystem since he has fiv. Are vitamin supplements useful ? And also perhaps L-lisine or interferon treatment ? Does anyone have experience with either of these ?

2024.05.21 11:45 Upstairs-Bandicoot90 Did I commit shirk ? what do I do now ?
Assalam Alaykoum brothers and sisters, please kindly offer your knowledgeable advice for my situation below, I feel so bad. I will explain with details so you can understand and respond with all the elements in mind.
I have been struggling a lot lately with waswas (the unspeakable type) and it tore me inside, it had such a huge negative impact on my life, I wouldn't eat, I lost weight, I used to cry a lot, I would find no joy in everyday life, would isolate myself, would wish to die etc. I would still pray and do my daily obligations but I still couldn't escape them. However, I've done a little research and found that those type of obsessive thoughts can be treated with therapy and coaching. So I decided to book with a muslim therapist.
I went a couple of days ago and I feel like I have done the biggest mistake of my life, and made the situation worse for me. At first I liked the session, especially when we talked about what was waswas, where it came from (shaytan), why it came, how to fight it with halal option such as doing your own ruqya on water or oil, staring to eat better, get more vitamins and nutrients in the body, get more sleep and do some breathing exercises to calm down. We even got to explain some verses of the Quran.
But after that is where I feel like I fell into shirk. You see I don't believe in controlling energy or in Hypnosis. But he said that sometimes we get affected by other people's energy : for example if someone is sad it could impact you as well etc. Then he asked me to do an exercise where I closed my eyes and imagined all the closest people to me and see if i feel anything physically. I did close my eyes but I didn't believe in the exercice so I didn't take it seriously, I did think about people thought. He then said that if you feel something you need to cut the sort of energy between you and the person. Brothers and sisters please trust me when I say I don't believe in any of that. (I didn't cut anything in my mind). But just the fact that I did the exercice and closed my eyes and imagined people makes me think I did shirk. Then he proceeded to tell me that he will teach me how to do self hypnosis to sleep better and be more in control of emotions. Here's how it went : you close your eyes and imagine that you're in a room that monitors all your feelings and you go where your anxiety is and you turn it down a little. These sort of things. He even guided me through it. I did it and now I think this maybe is shirk as well.
When I came back from that session nothing had changed for me. But 2 days ago I realized maybe all of this was shirk. At first I felt so bad, but now I feel so numb. I feel doomed, because even when I wish i never went in the first place, I fear that maybe I'm not feeling remorse. Like I'm even confused what it is like. I feel like I have a dead heart now and that my all my actions are rejected. I don't know what to do now, I want to clean my heart and I want Allah AzzawaJal to forgive me, I asked him to put so much regret in my heart, but I don't know what else to do.
Please my brothers and sisters, if you personally know a sheikh or a person of knowledge that could give you answers to my situation, that would be of great help. I love Allah so much but I feel he is too angry and disappointed with me. I am scared I will die without fulfilling all the conditions of repentance and that I will not be forgiven on the day of judgment. I feel like it was a test from Allah that i have failed.
Jazakoum Allahou Khayran for reading and for your answers.

2024.05.21 11:23 S_o_c_k_a Normal Test Results
Hi everyone,
I’ve been experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism for a few years but I am aware a lot of them are very general and could be a number of things. The main ones are really bad fatigue and brain fog, tiredness, constipation, depression, slow movements & thoughts, loss of libido and the skin on my face has become more dry recently (has previously been very oily) and my hair has thinned a lot and become dry (it used to be SO thick that my hairdresser would get sore arms when I went in for a haircut). I have bleached my hair, but it began thinning before that and was brittle.
I also have gained weight and find it hard to lose, but I think the weight gain is from my own eating habits rather than a medical problem!
I have been tested but they told me the results came back fine (I didn’t get exact numbers or anything). I have also been tested for anemia before but that would usually come back normal except for once when my ferritin was slightly below normal levels. I don’t think my doctors test for Vitamin D as it’s an expensive test so they only do it in extreme cases.
Also, my Dad and both of his parents have hypothyroidism.
I’m just a bit stuck. Did anyone else suspect hypothyroidism but it ended up being something else?? I’m so fed up of this brain fog and fatigue I can’t work properly!

I’ve been experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism for a few years but I am aware a lot of them are very general and could be a number of things. The main ones are really bad fatigue and brain fog, tiredness, constipation, depression, slow movements & thoughts, loss of libido and the skin on my face has become more dry recently (has previously been very oily) and my hair has thinned a lot and become dry (it used to be SO thick that my hairdresser would get sore arms when I went in for a haircut). I have bleached my hair, but it began thinning before that and was brittle.
I also have gained weight and find it hard to lose, but I think the weight gain is from my own eating habits rather than a medical problem!
I have been tested but they told me the results came back fine (I didn’t get exact numbers or anything). I have also been tested for anemia before but that would usually come back normal except for once when my ferritin was slightly below normal levels. I don’t think my doctors test for Vitamin D as it’s an expensive test so they only do it in extreme cases.

2024.05.21 10:06 era037 Baby Bearded Dragons
Hello my friends, I hope all you are well. So as the first post of this Community I'm going to Talk about Baby Bearded Dragons care and many more.
The Baby bearded dragons are also known as hatchlings, and they are tiny, delicate animals that need extra care. They must be kept in a 20-gallon tank that is 80–90 degrees Fahrenheit and with UVB lighting. Their substrate should be non-abrasive sand or reptile carpet, and they should have two hides—one on the warm side and one on the cold side. Hatchlings should eat mostly insects, such as mealworms, waxworms, and crickets, with small amounts of fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin D3 and calcium supplements are also necessary. Because they become upset easily, hatchlings need to be handled with kindness and tolerance. If given the proper care, a baby bearded dragon may develop into a healthy, happy adult. So if you want to learn more about Bearded dragons visit our website.
finally, If you learnt something from our post, Don't forget to share with your friends. Thank you.

2024.05.21 10:05 curiously_insane Adopted a stray, got some questions
I finally took home a stray, a dehydrated and malnourished beautiful boy. His age is unclear, but vet estimated between 2 and 5 years old weighing in just under 2kg (4 pounds ish), unneutered. Stray cats on Malta typically have access to water and the occasional food bowl.
Here's a picture of him when he was on the streets: https://i.imgur.com/eLmaUdu.jpeg
I'm so worried that I am feeding him too much, or too little. I got him last Friday and fed him small portions, often, to avoid refeeding syndrome which I read about. Now I am feeding him 4 times per day every 4th hour between 10am and 10pm, around 30-40g of wet food (high meat content) per time which equals around 140-160 grams per day.
Another reason for concern is possible thyroid issues which my vet detected from palpating under his neck. Blood tests will be carried out on Thursday. He also seems to have a cold, or cat herpes. Sometimes there's small amounts of discharge from his nose, and he sometimes sneezes it out.
The vet put him on antibiotics (Marbocyl/Marbofloxacin P 5mg), something against his cold/herpes (Herpless), something to alleviate inflammation/reduce pain (Loxicom 0.5 mg/ml) along with vitamins and aminoacids (Vigorpet).
There's so many things that he could potentially suffer from. I've got his lice infestation under control, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's got worms - but his faeces don't show any signs of it, other than the occasional diarrhea. I stopped giving him dry food because there seems to be mouth/tooth or gum ache when eating harder food. I even started adding water to his wet food to make it easier for him, his pain or at least the complaints stopped.
My questions to you all is:

2024.05.21 10:03 sanjeevaniclinic1 Your Liver: Key to Good Health Best Multispecialty Hospital in Ghaziabad
The liver is one of the most vital organs in your body, playing a crucial role in maintaining your overall health. Located in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen, the liver is responsible for various essential functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. Understanding the importance of liver health and knowing how to care for it can significantly enhance your well-being.
Functions of the Liver
Detoxification: The liver detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins, and produces biochemicals necessary for digestion. It filters out toxins from the blood, ensuring that harmful substances are eliminated from the body.
Metabolism: The liver plays a crucial role in metabolism, including the regulation of glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, and hormone production. It helps convert nutrients from your diet into essential blood components.
Production of Bile: Bile produced by the liver is essential for the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine.
Storage: The liver stores vital nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals (iron and copper), and releases them when needed.
Keeping Your Liver Healthy
Maintaining liver health is crucial for your overall well-being. Here are some tips to keep your liver functioning optimally:
Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can support liver health. Avoid excessive intake of fatty foods, sugar, and alcohol.
Regular Exercise: Physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps the liver function efficiently, aiding in detoxification processes.
Avoid Alcohol and Drugs: Excessive alcohol consumption and drug abuse can lead to liver damage. It’s crucial to limit alcohol intake and avoid illicit substances.
Regular Check-Ups: Regular medical check-ups can help detect liver issues early. The Best Multispeciality Hospital in Ghaziabad, like Sanjeevani Clinic, offers comprehensive healthcare services to monitor and maintain your liver health.
Liver Health and Overall Well-being
A healthy liver contributes significantly to your overall health. When your liver functions properly, you’re more likely to experience better energy levels, improved digestion, and a stronger immune system. Moreover, liver health is closely linked to other health aspects, such as ENT problems. For instance, issues like ear infections, sinusitis, and throat problems can sometimes be related to broader systemic health issues, including liver function.
If you're experiencing ENT problems, it's advisable to consult the Best ENT Specialist near me at Sanjeevani Clinic in Ghaziabad. The clinic offers top-notch medical treatment and healthcare services, ensuring comprehensive care for conditions like ear infections and sinusitis.

2024.05.21 09:51 MaisieXOX666 Should I go A&E for COVID now?
27 female UK - got dysautonomia (really bad heart symptoms) and gastroperisis (bad digestive symptoms) - 2 central nervous system disorders, from REALLY MILD COVID 2 years ago.
I've now been dealing with quite severe COVID for 7 days now. More than just cold symptoms. Arms going numb, visual hallucinations (I've never had these), in and out of fever like nightmare dreams, can't sleep for more than 6 hours, fever was 38.4 on the 6th day but not at the moment, conjunctivitis, headache that hasn't gone the whole time but was really severe day 3/4, teeth have killed for a week like all of them are so painful only co-dydramol is helping, can't stop blowing nose like 2 box of tissues in one day, cough becoming painful. Had worst sore throat, that's fine now though but has turned into painful cough, short of breath at times.
What's concerning me is the non-cold like symptoms, none of which my friend has. I.E conjunctivitis, arms going numb, hallucinations. Plus, the high fever so late into it on day 6. The fact I'm not getting better, wake up day 7 with conjunctivitis and friend has already completely cleared COVID, never got conjunctivitis or severe runny nose/headaches etc.
My friend caught it same time, and at day 5 she was better, no signs of it now - at day 7 I'm just getting worse. She had it much milder than me from the start, but we caught it at the same place the same night, fell ill the same day a few days after, but she likened it to a cold whereas I feel like it's literally attacking most parts of me, going deeper than a usual cold. Her teeth never hurt, she never got numb arms, or anything. I've done a lot more to get better, she was eating fish and chips, drinking alcohol, not taking vitamins, and she's fine now. Ive been eating mostly just fruit and veg, drinking electrolytes with vitamins in, zinc lozenges every 5 hours, taking 3 different vitamins throughout the day, tumeric tea, ginger shots, vaporrub on chest etc (for nose and head). And I'm actually getting WORSE on day 7.

2024.05.21 09:48 efloresmty 33F / Caucasian, gaining weight, irregular periods
After giving birth to daughter 3 yrs ago, my wife had trouble regaining a regular ovulation/menstrual cycle. She took birth control pills that didn’t help for about 9 months and has now been off of them for ~16 months (we use condom).
In the past year, she has been gaining weight (~10 kgs in 1 yr) and has had bouts of irregular periods (example today, 12 days after last period). Also, she is constantly feeling fatigued, depressed and anxious. Sometimes (2x a month) she will have nausea and constipation. She eats okay (similar to before pregnancy) and tries to exercise / walk though maybe only does 1x/week. Stress has been high since we had daughter.
As she has not been feeling well, she has seen some doctors but everything comes back normal: basic blood test came all normal in parameters (below), pap smear in december all normal and mamogram in oct’23 all clear too. We think it might be some hormonal imbalance but doctors can’t really say and just point her to more exercise. Is there some test we are missing that would improve diagnostics?
Blood test on 5/14: Triglericds: 59 mg/dl. ; Total cholesterol: 178 mg/dl ; HOMA insulin resistance: 0.8 ; Sodium: 139 mmol/l ; Potasium: 4.3 mmol/l ; TSH: 1.71 ul/ml ; hemoglobin A1c: 5.4% ;
Only things that are out of range: Vitamin D - 28.1 ng/ml ; CHCM (red blood): 35.4 g/d
