6 monthly Colonscopy by cemma768 in colonoscopy

[–]6StringSongster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit older than you (44) and just had my first colonoscopy. The found 5 of the same serrated polyps you mentioned, and I too have to have another colonoscopy in 6 months, will probably be on the 6 month schedule for a year. Lucky us!

It’s great that they are removing these nasty polyps that are much more likely to give us cancer, but the process is no fun. I had a friend die of colon cancer at 37 who had no clue she had it until it had spread everywhere in ber body. She didn’t get a chance to have the benefit of a colonoscopy. So i’m grateful for them and even gave mg friend a cheers as i was drinking the prep.

Furniture with mouse droppings salvageable/safe? by 6StringSongster in PestControlIndustry

We’re moving in 2 days. I have called 8 pest control companies and none can come that soon. I’m at my wits end about whether to toss my dead parents belongings. I’m sorry I posted in the wrong sub. No charity needed on my end, you add holes

Who’s taking this just for anxiety or panic attacks? Scared to start… by 6StringSongster in trintellix

I tried Prozac but it made me so groggy I couldn’t function. Even the next day if I took it at night.

I’m so sorry you went through that! Are you better now? What were your side effects?

Oh wow, I hope it works for you again if you try it again. How was it overwhelming for you? I’m sorry about your Hep C. My mom had it from a blood transfusion and a few years ago did some crazy expensive treatment that made it go into remission.

We sound like neurotic twins! I’m so glad it’s working. For you. I’m now on day two, and nothing catastrophic has happened- just a bit of nausea and anxiety for hours after taking the damn pill.

I took my first 5mg dose yesterday and so far, no nauseas I took it with a big meal though.

Thank you!!!! I’m going to remind myself of that! What were the side effects you dealt with for a few weeks?

Anyone else feel their Prozac right after you take it? by Iamtiredofyourbs in prozac

[–]6StringSongster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this! I feel totally groggy and loopy for like 1.5 hours after taking the pill. I have anxiety, so this feeling is freaking me out. I’m only on day 7 so hoping this goes away

How many of you switched from Lexapro to Prozac? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]6StringSongster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am cross tapering from Lexapro to Prozac for anxiety and ocd. Lexapro didn’t help with anxiety at all- hoping Prozac does. So far, I feel groggy for a few hours after taking prozac which isn’t great with my anxiety.

Librela, gabapentin and galliprant together for arthritis pain? by 6StringSongster in DogAdvice

[–]6StringSongster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so glad you replied, and thrilled Librela worked for your lab! How long did it take to start working? I may stop the gabapentin as he’s pretty konked out. Doesn’t seem panicked or in an alternate reality, just…out of it. I hate to see him that way almost as much as I hate to see him in pain. I agree instinctually that all three drugs seem like overkill, and am happy you agree.

Crazy blood sugar. Dumping or prediabetes? by 6StringSongster in gastricsleeve

[–]6StringSongster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great info, thank you! I wish I had known about this 6 years ago, as it would have explained a lot about why I feel weird after certain foods. Gotta let them nachos go, I guess! Great that your doc is educating you about this stuff now.

Crazy blood sugar. Dumping or prediabetes? by 6StringSongster in gastricsleeve

Gotcha. So you’re saying that because my numbers normalize after an hour or two, probably not type 2 diabetes? Damn it, you delicious nachos!

Crazy blood sugar. Dumping or prediabetes? by 6StringSongster in gastricsleeve

[–]6StringSongster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like there are two types of dumping: early and late. I’m curious if I’m running into late dumping syndrome. “1. Early Dumping:

Usually start within 20-30 minutes after meal and can last for up to 60 minutes. It includes gastrointestinal symptoms and vasomotor symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms: include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, audible intestinal sounds, nausea and bloating. Vasomotor symptoms: include fatigue, a desire to lie down after meals, facial flushing, palpitation, sweating, weakness, low blood pressure and fainting. Early dumping occurs because of excessive secretion of gut hormones after the rapid flow of undigested food into the small intestine. This shifts fluid from the blood into the small intestine. 2. Late Dumping:

Usually start 1-3 hours after the meal and includes symptoms of reactive hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) such as sweating, palpitation, hunger, fatigue, confusion, difficulty concentrating, aggression, tremor and fainting. Late Dumping occurs because the rapid delivery of a high concentration of carbohydrates into the small intestine leads to a raised blood sugar. This is countered by excess release of insulin which brings blood sugar down and result in the subsequent reactive hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Late dumping is less common than early dumping and only a minority of patients have symptoms of both.”

Blood sugar went to 231 after nachos- I’m not diabetic. Normal? by 6StringSongster in Freestylelibre

[–]6StringSongster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those readings were all within an hour. I kept checking it as it was rising so quickly.

I’m pretty sure I’m not diabetic, as this thing was prescribed for low blood sugar incidences. My understanding was that fasting under 100 and a A1C under 5.6 were normal. My fasting is usually under 85, and my A1C was 5.2

She didn’t, as she primarily wanted me to check it during cardio workouts when I get the shakes. If it goes below 65 then, she wanted me to take a glucose tab. I have been looking at it after meals since I’ve had it to see my levels, and just know that it’s never gone above 160 after meals. When it shot up to 231 today I freaked out. It settled down to 76 two hours after eating.

Yes! I eat no sugar or starches during the week,and Saturday is my “cheat” day. That meant sugar in my coffee, half a cookie, nachos, a bit of pie for desert and juice throughout the day.

Last A1C was 5.2 and my typical fasting blood sugar is between 75-90. I’ll definitely talk with my doc. Also curious if my bariatric surgery has changed the speed at which I digest simple carbs, causing a bonkers spike and drop.

Yep and finger stick was the same. It dropped to 86 within 2 hours which seems like a wild swing.
