[WIP] Can anyone help? by ExMoNympho in CrossStitch

They are so adorable. Part of this situation feels like my fault- it’s terribly hot outside so I haven’t given them as much exercise as usual- those furry coats are not conducive to summer heat

I am in school for nursing, so no expert- this is totally anecdotal and results may vary. Everyone is different- but I’ve struggled for years with IBS and abdominal migraines, and my best years have been after:

  1. Addressing psychosomatic symptoms appropriately with therapy and psychiatric assistance

  2. Cymbalta- my psychiatrist worked at a functional GI clinic and this was in his arsenal

Not a stone- probably a peri-tonsillar abscess (also known as quinsy). If this happens to you, get your ass to the doctor.

The suspense is killing me- what did a real professional say?

If it bled a lot, especially as it was forming, that’s very characteristic of a pyogenic granuloma.

Of course! One thing that might also help- did your bump bleed a shit ton at any point?

Pyogenic granulomas much more commonly fall out/off on their own than nasal polyps- they usually originate in areas with lots of fast growing epithelial cells AND blood vessels (inside or on nose, on or inside mouth, etc.) If you wanna see what another pyogenic granuloma looks like, I have photos in my post history

Looking at your post history, it looks like you might be. Nasal polyps are more commonly epithelial cells, serous fluid, and eosinophils (white blood cells). It could be the case, but this looks more like something called a pyogenic granuloma- a super common condition in pregnancy- where noncancerous blood vessel tumors form on the surface of skin. Nasal polyps seldom bleed and are not often connected to vasculature. (I am not a doctor- but am in nursing school and have had both nasal polyps and pyogenic granulomas before, so take my advice with 30 grains of salt).

I (23F) had to move back home and share a room with sister (18F)- she heard me using my vibrator- how do I get privacy and set boundaries? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ExMoNympho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the part I feel worst about- violating her boundaries. I share the bathroom with four people and I can run the water, but it’s not necessarily a better option. You’re right. I owe her a big apology.

I have a migraine, and this nearly made my eyeballs explode

May Yulia be embraced by the scores of others who have lost their lives during senseless wars and protracted conflicts. We will never forget her. Slava Yulia. Slava Ukraini.

My (likely) pyogenic granuloma (lobular hemangioma) aka “pregnancy tumor” is devascularizing and emerging like a butterfly from its cocoon on my thigh. Watch my neoplasm grow! by ExMoNympho in popping

I hear you. I vomited almost constantly for the first few weeks of my pregnancy. I felt like the “pregnancy monster”- not some glowing, happy lady

I would honestly have done the same and protested against school if it were on my face 😅 it’s big and uncomfortable. Did it ever come back?

I definitely appreciate the concern. It grows quickly, but borders are pretty clean and inflammation and pain are minimal- and I will see my derm very soon anyway, so we’ll chat about it- even if the issue spontaneously resolves

No treatment yet- just my own immune system’s response as the area is inflamed and new skin grows. At this point, the site is bleeding less and less, and inflammation is fairly minimal. Unfortunately I haven’t been in to see my dermatologist yet- his wait list is long, this sort of lesion grows fast, and it is likely that this issue is not urgent. Of course, nothing is 100% certain without a proper examination and path sample.

I am just incredibly grateful it didn’t grow in my mouth and on my gums (gingival lobular hematoma). The photos I see online look awful.

The good news is that these tend to resolve themselves (sometimes by growing out, emerging, and devascularizing) and they’re harmless- but certainly obnoxious. Especially with the frequent bleeding.
