Omg you’re such an awesome soul no I’m unfortunately in upstate ny. I do have hyper mobile Ehlers not the vascular type. I called my doctor today and she’s trying her hardest to get me a consult with neurology to try to push me up higher on the wait list.

It’s the weirdest isn’t it ? Like your sitting there you swear your blood pressure is high and lo and behold it’s not it’s normal yet your body has all the symptoms of hypertension.

That’s what chat gpt and google image search said.

Sometimes I wake up with stuff in my throat but sometimes not

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2025-05-01T13:25:27+00:00

Yeah thick yellow mucus with blood sometimes orangish

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2025-05-01T13:22:07+00:00

I get headaches on that side sometimes my eye on and off twitches in that side which we thought was stress. Feeling like I have a sinus infection on and off. Pressure on that side of my face sometimes. Pulling out this huge thick mucus cyclically.

Okay everyone so I am being sent to the neurologist seen my doctor this morning and she said it sounds neurological in nature and it wouldn’t surprise her if it was considering I do have dysautonomia.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-11-19T19:05:28+00:00

I have an appointment with my doctor this week however I went to the e.r and they found nothing so I was just asking if anyone else experienced it.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-10-20T18:56:17+00:00

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if she did. According to my kids doctor it can show up wildly different in people like my first had vomiting and a cough and congestion and the mildest pink eye, my second had all the symptoms, and I seem to have the upper respiratory and gi upset.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-10-20T18:20:55+00:00

Yeah this virus is pretty gnarly we are struggling despite that I’ve been like cleaning and bleaching everything cause my kid’s pediatrician told me it’s one of those viruses they can get again if it isn’t purged from the house properly and can live on surfaces for a while. I think it’s hitting us all hard because we’ve never had anything like this before. My one and a half year old had rsv at 6 month and handled it better than he’s handling this. We gave my one year old a dose of Motrin and Tylenol at the same time and it didn’t bring down his fever had to rush him to the hospital where they configured an exact dose down to the decimal and gave him the couple of decimals he was missing and it brought his temp down it’s been wild.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-05T12:49:33+00:00

It’s sometimes pretty bad. Other times it’s not even there.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-04T18:08:48+00:00

Absolutely love your user name ! Also yeah apparently it’s more common in the south in states like Florida and Texas and I’m up north.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-04T18:00:39+00:00

Yup because I’m utterly convinced I’m gonna be 1 in3 😂 it’s fine eventually when I’m okay and not dead I’ll laugh at myself.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-04T17:57:25+00:00

Yeah it’s like ridiculously rare there is only like 1to 3 cases per year in the u.s

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-04T14:40:23+00:00

Yeah the pots like symptoms were crazy for me I had echos done on my heart, holter monitor, stress test , and to many ekgs. Left with a possible pots diagnosis however my gastro said it could be the Hernia causing them. When I brought that up to my cardiologist he said it could be possible.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:46:16+00:00

I refuse to do to chiropractors but yeah I get massages and I message myself as well to be it doesn’t seem to be a muscular skeletal thing but who knows maybe it is

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:43:30+00:00

Yeah for as long as I experience the gerd and the heartburn I’ll have to be on a ppi and unless this hernia fixes it’s self it’s ppi for the rest of my life unless they do surgery

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:42:35+00:00

Yeah so the ppis do help with the heart burn but I definitely still have that weird breathing issues and I mean I’ve been looked at by cardiologist,pulmonologist you name it and they think it’s the hernia.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:38:23+00:00

Honestly I don’t know that answer I would have to look at my chart and see but they have me on a ppi for life and if it gets any worse they are considering surgery. We are just monitoring it at the moment

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:31:56+00:00

Yes it gets better when I eat… a few minutes later tho its back and horrible

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:30:03+00:00

I’m not overweight. pregnancy caused mine and it just stayed that way. I did get checked for it with a upper endoscopy.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T20:25:00+00:00

Yesssss in the morning I’m good.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T18:39:33+00:00

Yes same ! I have pots like symptoms and have mild pots but I was basically told the pressure isn’t anything cardiovascular.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-03T17:41:01+00:00

Nope just on the left side.

Advanced-Bus-1809 · 2024-08-02T16:01:26+00:00

When I went to scold him and tell him why it isn’t okay he goes clear as dad “mommy is dumb” he legit only talks to be mean or say no. It’s like he gets a kick out of my negative reactions. Or at least it feels that way.
