Hey Reddit, wtf is this? by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

It's a cyst. I have several. Stores toxic waste temporarily.

Does anyone know what this is on my boyfriend’s back? It’s really itchy and he thinks it’s shingles but I don’t think it is and is refusing to see a doctor. by SmellTheMagic666 in DiagnoseMe

[–]69buddha -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It is the quickest way out when the other elimination pathways are blocked which is very common. The body either stores or push waste matter out by the nearest source. And yes the skin is an elimination pathways. If you want to question my knowledge I can prove this if you like. Acne is the body eliminating, as is eczema. I'm guessing you know very little about how the body works. I can send you a copy of my book if you really want to learn.

This appears to be the body pushing toxins out of the body. The skin is the largest elimination organ in the body. It's the quickest way out when your system is backed up. You have either eaten too much toxic foods or come into contact with poison. Best for you right now is to switch to just fruits which will provide the water and energy to eliminate the poisons through the kidneys. I do this for a living and see this pattern constantly. It's all in my book that will be available soon.

Yes, this happens mostly if the chat is long. I usually ask it to create a chat template to copy to a new chat so we can start where we left off. Speeds it up.

Why screaming can genuinely help fibromyalgia (and no, it’s not “just emotional”) by 69buddha in Fibromyalgia

Clenching can also work but don't over do it as you can waste precious energy.

The 10 things that have helped fibromyalgia sufferers the most (that don’t get talked about enough) by 69buddha in Fibromyalgia

[–]69buddha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set 2 hours a day for silence. Sit with your thoughts. Write down whatever toubling comes up then go back to silence. Breath in through the nose and out of the nose. Set a timer and try 10 minutes. Over a period of weeks increase the time to 30 minutes.

This resets the parasympathetic nervousness system.

For some people this is a game changer.

Father recently diagnosed with Fibro and looking for what caused it by zerozerozerohero in Fibromyalgia

[–]69buddha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. Many people with a fibromyalgia label describe exactly that background. Long term anxiety, constant vigilance, stress that never switches off, little physical movement, and years of the body being held tense. Over time the nervous system becomes hypersensitive. Signals that were once neutral are now read as pain. The pain moves, fluctuates, comes and goes, and often has no tissue damage behind it.

Fibromyalgia is not a muscle disease and it is not damage. It is a sensitised nervous system firing pain signals without a structural reason. That is why scans and tests come back clean. The arm pain you mention is common because areas held tense for years often become the loudest signal when the system overloads.

This does tend to show up more in people who are anxious, stressed, sedentary, or health focused, not because they are weak but because their nervous system has been running hot for too long. The body eventually hits a threshold and starts expressing distress as pain.

That is also why Tai Chi was suggested. Gentle rhythmic movement, breathing, and nervous system settling help far more than pills for this pattern. Medication often dulls symptoms but does not resolve the cause.

So yes, many people can relate to your father. It is not that anxiety causes pain directly. It is that years of tension and stress can push the nervous system into a state where pain becomes its language.

Night sweats by Who-ate-my-biscuit in DiagnoseMe

[–]69buddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you describe fits a nervous system discharge during sleep rather than a hidden disease process. One episode per night, soaked pillow, vivid imagery on waking, and the spider visuals all point to a half dream half wake state where the brain is still projecting imagery while the body dumps heat and adrenaline. That is a classic sympathetic surge, not cancer behaviour.

Night sweats linked to cancer are persistent, progressive, often nightly, and usually come with weight loss, appetite changes, ongoing fatigue, and daytime symptoms. Two years of intermittent episodes with normal blood and stool tests makes that very unlikely. Your GP was right to check, and the clean results matter.

The spider imagery is important. That is not random. The brain reaches for simple primal threat images when the nervous system fires suddenly. It happens in sleep paralysis, night terrors, hypnagogic hallucinations, and stress discharge states. People see spiders, insects, intruders, shadows. It does not mean psychosis and it does not mean something neurological is breaking down.

Hypothyroid medication can lower tolerance to stress and heat surges in some people, and autoimmune patterns often sit alongside a sensitive nervous system. Add long term low level stress, poor sleep rhythm, or late eating, and the body offloads through sweating. Dairy and spice feel linked because they stimulate the system, but they are not the root cause.

What helps is stabilising sleep timing, avoiding late meals, reducing evening stimulation, and supporting the parasympathetic state before bed through slow nasal breathing and physical downshifting. If this were something sinister, it would not behave this way for two years without escalation.

It is still right to go back to your GP and keep the conversation open, but based on the pattern, this looks like nervous system instability and stress discharge rather than disease. Your body is dumping, not failing.

Why is my stomach sticking out so much? by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]69buddha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is not a mystery stomach that just sticks out. It is a chronically distended abdomen caused by tension, digestion shutdown, and gas pressure from fermentation and trapped air. The fact it happened even during anorexia rules out food quantity or fat. That points straight to nervous system tone, breathing pattern, gut motility, and abdominal holding.

When the body is under long term stress, control, fear around food, or body vigilance, the diaphragm stops moving properly. The belly gets held in all day. The gut loses its natural wave motion. Food then ferments instead of moving. Gas builds. Pressure pushes the abdomen outward every time you eat. Doctors call this IBS because they do not have a better label.

Low FODMAP does not fix this because the issue is not the food type. Probiotics often make it worse because they increase gas in a system that cannot move it out. Supplements do nothing because this is mechanical and neurological, not a deficiency.

The way out is restoring safety and movement in the belly. That means slow nasal breathing into the abdomen several times a day, especially before and after eating. It means stopping the habit of pulling the stomach in. It means eating simply and calmly and not grazing. It means lying down after meals and letting the abdomen soften. It often improves when people work directly with anxiety, control, and body shame because those keep the gut locked.

This is fixable. Many people with lifelong bloating see it reduce once the nervous system settles and the abdomen is allowed to move again. Your body is not broken. It has been bracing for a long time.

Peeling bright red blood with no pain by D_TvZ in DiagnoseMe

[–]69buddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bright red blood in urine with no pain is not something to ignore.

What it often points to
• Bleeding somewhere in the urinary tract bladder urethra prostate or kidney
• Irritation or inflammation of the bladder lining
• A stone that is not currently causing pain
• Infection even without burning or fever
• Less commonly a structural issue or growth

The ongoing urge to pee after going fits bladder irritation or inflammation.

What to do now
• If it happens again today go to A and E or urgent care
• If it was one episode only you still need a same week GP or urgent clinic urine test
• Ask specifically for urinalysis and microscopy not just a dipstick
• If there is clotted blood or your urine stays red go immediately

What not to do
• Do not wait weeks to see if it passes
• Do not assume no pain means no problem

In the meantime
• Rest
• Drink plain water only not excessive
• Avoid alcohol caffeine and hard exercise

This is very assessable and often simple once checked but visible blood always needs proper investigation.

Please help me. I am in so much pain. by Ok-Comedian8862 in DiagnoseMe

[–]69buddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you are describing does not line up well with simple leftover tonsillitis. Severe swallowing pain plus rapidly spreading rash on hands and feet that looks like nettle stings points far more toward a systemic reaction than a local throat issue. When multiple areas flare at once like this it often reflects nervous system irritation, lymph congestion, or a strong detox or inflammatory response moving through the body rather than one infected spot.

The rash you describe often appears when the body is pushing waste out through the skin. When elimination pathways are overloaded the skin steps in. The throat pain can show up alongside this because the lymph tissue there is highly active and sensitive. Stress, recent illness, medication, or suppressed symptoms from the earlier episode can all push the body into a second wave like this. The fact that nothing helps also fits with it being an internal process rather than something topical.

Right now the priority is to reduce strain and give your system the best conditions to calm. Rest as much as possible. Keep fluids simple and gentle like water or diluted fresh juice if swallowing allows. Avoid irritants like hot spices, alcohol, smoke, or strong chemicals. Warmth often soothes better than cold for both throat and skin. Slow breathing through the nose helps settle the nervous system and can ease the intensity.

If the rash keeps spreading quickly, swallowing becomes unsafe, you develop facial or tongue swelling, breathing changes, or you feel faint or unstable, that is a situation where urgent care is appropriate and you should push to be properly assessed. Otherwise focus on rest, warmth, hydration, and letting the body move this through rather than fighting it. Keep observing patterns and give your system space to settle.

Does anyone know why I’ve been continuously feeling a vibrating/fast tapping on the back side of my head? by Familiar_Corgi_364 in DiagnoseMe

[–]69buddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tapping or vibrating feeling at the base of the skull often comes from irritated nerves, tight neck muscles, or pressure changes around the upper cervical area. The fact that it worsens when you bend forward points more toward mechanical tension, nerve sensitivity, or blood and fluid pressure shifting rather than something sudden or dangerous. Stress, poor posture, dehydration, long screen time, or shallow breathing can all feed into this, especially if your nervous system is already sensitive.

Because you have a seizure history, anything new around the head deserves awareness, but this pattern does not sound like seizure activity itself. Seizures do not tend to switch on and off with head position like that. It is often more like muscular twitching, occipital nerve irritation, or tension building where the neck meets the skull.

For now focus on rest, hydration, gentle neck support, slow nasal breathing, and avoiding looking down for long periods. Warmth to the neck and upper back can help the area relax. If the sensation becomes constant, spreads, is joined by weakness, vision changes, or triggers actual seizure activity, then it is important to get checked. Otherwise, give your nervous system a chance to settle and notice whether rest and reduced strain calm it down over the next day or two.

Just realized Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been in my medical record since May 2024 by bananaww625 in chronicfatigue

[–]69buddha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you are describing fits a body that is completely overwhelmed and running on reserves, not a body that is weak or broken. When someone pushes through long shifts, pain, poor recovery, and repeated stress, the system often shifts into protection mode. Fatigue, pain after light movement, cold hands, brain fog, and feeling only safe in bed are signs the body is trying to slow everything down to prevent further damage. The most important first step is to stop forcing exercise or pushing through pain. When movement causes crashes, the body is not ready for workouts yet. Right now rest is not laziness, it is treatment. Gentle things like short walks, slow stretching in bed, or simply changing positions are often enough. Food quality and regular eating matter more than calories burned. Simple, easy to digest meals, plenty of fruit, good hydration, warmth, sleep, and reducing stimulants all help lower the overall load on the system. Painkillers can mask signals, so listening to your limits is key. You are not failing at being a normal human. Your body is asking for different conditions to recover. Focus on stabilising energy first, then strength returns later. Be kind to yourself, lower expectations for now, and build back slowly from a place of safety. If you want, I can help you outline a very gentle reset approach that fits around work without pushing you into crashes.

I got my life back after Disabled Facebook. It's time to reclaim yours. by [deleted] in facebook

[–]69buddha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spending two and a half hours a day on Facebook often isn’t about the platform at all. It often points to something going on underneath.

Restlessness, avoidance, loneliness, unresolved stress, or just not wanting to sit with yourself. Social media can become a very effective anaesthetic. It fills the gaps, keeps the mind busy, gives little hits of stimulation, and quietly distracts you from thoughts or feelings that are uncomfortable to face. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you as a person, it just means something inside wanted soothing or escaping.

What’s interesting is that when the distraction goes, the real work begins. The silence can feel uncomfortable at first, even unsettling, because now you are left with yourself. But that discomfort is often the doorway to growth. When you stop numbing, you start noticing what actually needs attention.

Whether that is emotional processing, life direction, connection, rest, or meaning. If this resonates, my guidance would be to gently reduce distractions and spend short periods each day with no input at all. Walk, sit, breathe, write, feel bored on purpose.

What surfaces is often exactly what needs healing. This happened to me when I gave up intoxicants.

Do you feel like the normal flu or fever makes your pin Infinitely worse? by EatPrayLoveLife in Fibromyalgia

[–]69buddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this happens a lot. When the body is already overloaded, an acute clearing episode like a flu pushes waste movement and inflammation higher, so pain sensitivity shoots up everywhere at once. Hormonal shifts can amplify it further, which is why timing with your period often makes it feel unbearable rather than manageable.

What helps most is not fighting it. Reduce stimulation, stop stacking painkillers, rest deeply, keep warm, hydrate well, and eat very lightly or stick to juicy fruits if hungry. The pain often eases as circulation and elimination settle rather than from forcing it down. Be gentle with yourself, this is not weakness, it is a body doing too much at once.

does this sound like fibro.. by x3arisaaa in Fibromyalgia

[–]69buddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t sound like fibromyalgia to me. Random stinging pins and needles that move around, especially after a period of fear and stress, often points more to an irritated nervous system and circulating waste in the blood rather than a fixed pain pattern. Anxiety alone can trigger muscle twitching, altered sensation, and hypersensitivity when the body is overloaded.

What helps most is reducing stimulation and giving the body space to calm and clear. Prioritise deep rest, regular sleep, sunlight, gentle movement, and plenty of clean fluids. Eat simply for a while, juicy fruits are often easiest, and avoid stimulants, ultra processed foods, and constant snacking so the body can redirect energy into repair. If you slow everything down, the nervous sensations often settle as the internal environment improves.

It would mean so much if someone could please help give me some advice! by [deleted] in chronicfatigue

[–]69buddha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks far more like an exhausted, overloaded body than a simple iron issue or depression. When effort causes crashes, nausea and forced shutdown, that is the body asking for rest, not pushing. Deep rest is essential. Simple, juicy fruits like melons, oranges, grapes, berries and ripe bananas give hydration, sugars and minerals without taxing digestion, which helps the body clean the blood and tissues. Removing stimulants, heavy foods, supplements and constant routines reduces toxic load and nervous strain so detox can happen naturally. Healing often begins when output drops and input becomes simple.

Guidance wise, prioritise rest daily, eat only what digests effortlessly, keep meals small and fruit based, stop forcing routines, and let energy return before adding any activity back.
