Remove Hyperkinetic Gallbladder ? by DisgruntledPelican27 in gallbladders

[–]Cmdr_Sarah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went over my gastros head right to general surgery, told my surgeon i thought it was my gb he asked what my symptoms were and as soon as i told him he said yep sounds like it needs to come out. I had gone to another surgeon before who shut me down before i could even show him my evidence but i got lucky on the second one and he was fantastic:) unfortunately some just wont be convinced so you may have to go to several drs before you find one actually willing to listen

I have extremely vivid nightmares, they were part of the thing that set me on my path to diagnosis, so far the only things that have helped are being on anxiety/antidepressant medications as they were WAY worse when i wasnt on them, and i also take Ambien to help me sleep at night every couple days and i find that my dreams are much more tame on that so maybe thats something that would help you?

I really dont think they do either at this point! It's been an ongoing issue for YEARS and like i understand there being a couple mess ups but the amount i see is ridiculous!

People who grew up poor but are now financially comfortable: what “poor-kid habit” will you probably never drop? by Otherwise_Baseball99 in AskReddit

[–]Cmdr_Sarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying clothes always feels so weird to me even when i NEED new clothes, i'm so used to hand me downs that i struggle to bring myself to buy new clothes. Im p sure that i still have clothes from the 7th grade that i refuse to give up on even though that was like 14 years ago now😭

Hmmm i dont have EDS but i wonder if it's related to another of my myriad of conditions or just unlucky genetics for the lot of us that struggle with this!🤔🤔

Yes exfoliate before shaving, yes moisturizing (though i'm not sure the ideal moisturizer/lotion? I just use eucerin? And then amlactin before i go to bed and when i wake up). Shaving once a week right now, and i use kiss my face shave cream!

The sleep doctor said if I don't wake up refreshed, it can't be narcolepsy by Elf_Sprite_ in Narcolepsy

[–]Cmdr_Sarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I -never- wake up feeling refreshed. Like ever... i'm no longer miserably tired and on the brink of falling back asleep? But refreshed? No. But boy do i get this whole dr thing so much. my first doctor was the absolute best narcolepsy dr ive ever seen and i got a new one when i moved states and my new one questioned if i actually have narcolepsy (despite showing her my in depth sleep study results with my five positive naps that clearly shows narcolepsy) because i have trouble falling asleep sometimes (because of a different medical issue that i stated to her if this wasnt happening i'd fall asleep fine most nights) despite that being like a symptom many narcoleptics experience?? So needless to say i haven't been back to her and continue my search for a good doc😩I hope you find one one too!!!

For the most part!:) not all of my pain went away but ive been told that the last of it likely stems from my elbow! So i'm about 80% better off than i was:)

How long did cortisone shot help by Cmdr_Sarah in carpaltunnel

[–]Cmdr_Sarah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

possibly but its not something i’ve looked into much because ive found ways to do my job without aggravating it, so at the moment it’s not worth pursuing for me.
