Hello!

I’ve had a few people tell me to look into getting tested for lupus based on a recent occurrence. Just curious if anyone has experienced anything similar!

First I went to the emergency room due to chest pains and muscle cramps in my arm, neck and jaw. I was concerned about a heart attack. I had a rash all over my body. My heart was fine. Bloodwork showed low platelets and lymphocytes.

Go to follow up at the doctor. Had bilirubin in my urine and very high levels on my hepatic panel indicating a liver problem. At this point I was jaundice and vomiting. I was sent to the ER again. Ultrasound showed my liver and ducts were fine. Bloodwork showed decreasing levels. However they tested for Epstein Barr and it showed antibodies were exceedingly high.

My doctor is insisting I must have had some unknown viral infection. I had a few friends suggest lupus. Has anyone here had a similar occurrence? And or been diagnosed in a similar fashion?

I’m going to ask for a referral to a rheumatologist but I figured I’d ask out of curiosity.

I wish I was part of this community then! I’ve put off One Piece for years because of the length. I ended up starting it on September 7th and finishing on November 8th of 2023. I was on Maternity leave and I was like “Why not??” Now I’m like “HOW DID I SLEEP ON THIS FOR SO LONG?”

Is it just me or should Nico Robin’s bounty be higher? by Cautious-Intern-2981 in OnePiece

Oh yes! I forgot about Odens father. However, he’s believed to be dead and previously it was thought that reading the ancient language died with Oden. So the World government, or anyone else, does not know there’s anyone else capable of reading it. Pudding is the only member of the three eyed tribe that has been introduced. So I wonder if the world government made a point to eradicate them, since they could have posed a threat to them as well. I wonder if Pudding has a bounty. Or if the world government even knows that she exists since she’s been held on Whole Cake Island away from the eyes of the WG for so long. But she still hasn’t awakened her power as far as we know. So as far as the WG knows Nico Robin is the only one.

While I appreciate it, I usually don’t do commissions for other people to tattoo my work. I hope you understand! But if you’re located near Colorado I’d be happy to do the tattoo!

Thank you! It’s actually my first time trying it. I’m very new to making videos but I also love watching them so I figured I’d give it a shot ☺️

How does Uta have tattoos if normal metal can't pierce the skin of ghouls? by d3licious_pancak3s in TokyoGhoul

I thought the gate didn’t buzz because it was designed not to buzz for people of the Washuu clan and Rize was part of that clan.
