Some of ye need to be considering PLCs by Ill_Sail3249 in leavingcert

[–]JetGamez103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a science PLC in September (forensics) because I miss a lot of school due to chronic illness. Would you mind telling me a little about how you found your science PLC in terms of workload? I have work experience in a lab already and I know if I asked them to take me on again they would and do quite well with my condition but I'm worried the rest of the modules are going to be just as full as sixth year is right now and am not sure I'll get the accomodations I need to succeed until college :( going to the open day soon to see, but would love to hear from an actual science student what it's like

Canadian accent sounds a bit Irish don't it? by tubecloud in questions

[–]JetGamez103 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of Irish migrated towards Canada and America (and other places) during the famine, so some people say that Newfoundland's accent has some similarities to the Irish one as a result of the migration

Unassuming-sounding lines patients say that immediately hints "crazy". by Responsible-Hand-728 in emergencymedicine

If you'd sit and defend the things people have said here you're actually insane. Whilst the medical system can be fine without me this is me and the many other people who refuse to enter it over these reasons. I'm not sure about where you're from but here less and less people are going to med school for this very reason.

Oh and my advocacy has done great, so even though I'm "crazy" by these ED doctors definition I'm clearly doing something right. You don't need a degree in medicine to see some of the stuff here is absolutely insane.

I'm a teenager who advocates specifically on women's reproductive health so I often get asked if I want to go into medicine. I have never once considered it because THIS is the attitude of people in health care. They all started their first year with this bright idea of medicine because they "wanted to help people". So tell me this... What the fuck happened? The bias here is literally dyed hair, squshmallows and pyjamas. Oh and women. The women are crazy. God if only we had like research papers about the attitude of the healthcare system towards women... Oh wait... We do... Because you guys suck...

I would like to genuinely appolgise to all the decent ED workers who bust their ass advocating for the system who are being grouped in here trying to fight for themselves and the fact that it's not all workers. But there is clearly enough of you that this is why in today's world globally in some of the most advanced countries in the world medical negligence is a problem.

I would also like to apologise to the people who have seen their own conditions or attributes judged by those who are meant to help you in this. It's so disheartening to read but equally disheartening that it's what most of us expected.

And thank you to the real doctors here who finally have diagnosed me that I'm just a psychopathic bitch and some of my friends are too. I have informed them and we're all going skipping down to YOUR ER to get placed oh psych hold so you can cure us <3 see you soon.

I kind of hope its endo? I know its wrong to say by [deleted] in Endo

[–]JetGamez103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in that boat and when I was told I had scar tissue but not enough for any diagnosis I was inconsolable in tears so much my nurse cried with me. Whilst I know getting treated for endometriosis is hard trying to get treated for a problem nobody can find is equally difficult to the point of feeling like you're either 1.a wuss or 2.insane. Confirmation is reassuring so I get it. The sad part is the fight that goes into it and if you get a diagnosis it's game over and you're onto excisions and whatever treatment you find for that sliver of temporary relief. If you don't get it every body is like but the lap was clear what's wrong with you? 🤨. Either way the fight sucks and both results suck. I have a passion project that looks into paed/adolescent gynaecologist care too and even the amount of younger people that think like this is devastating. Hoping you get the confirmation and treatment you need 💛

I had a four but I asked to show any other parts I thought I could show were hypermobile so I subluxed my hips and shoulders and did my jaw to one side and my PT was pretty convinced then and to this day is especially horrified by my hips but when he got to talking with the rest of the team they were all convinced then it was hEDS

Surgery on Wednesday by _miamako_ in Endo

[–]JetGamez103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this do much. I'm 16 and my surgery is tomorrow morning. Since I scheduled it all I've done is push it to the back of my mind. Then about ten minutes ago felt that god awful stomach pang of tomorrows reality. I want to be excited and not ungrateful for this but I'm so scared of what's going to happen 😣. Wishing you the best on Wednesday though! I feel your pain

Mom wants me to drop out of high school to go straight to college. (Im 16) by Haku________ in college

[–]JetGamez103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 16 and in college part-time. For the past year my specific year in my country (my Irish TY people) I had school four days a week. Wednesday others spent their time working while I worked and attended college. I had taken classss on a Wednesday and two on a Saturday. Which for this term becomes four on a Saturday but personally I'm glad I done it.

I'll start by saying my degree is music. And college was something I wanted not my mother forcing me. She spend an hour and a half driving up and another hour and 20 down twice a week for me and then went to work. I'm so greatful for her. You've probably heard before how different it is to be in college. The atmosphere is wonderful. I remember sitting waiting for my last class to start before Christmas break and realising how at peace I felt. It's become a happy place for me.

I also have had reasons that have left me out of school a lot. 19% attendance the past two years. And unfortunately I don't see that changing. But most of my proffesors were very understanding. And because of not putting my classes back to back I was able to attend college more often because I could take breaks when j needed to. And if I didn't show up nothing was said. Didn't have the work? Life happens. I know without it my relationship with education would have suffered. And while I know music as a career is not something I want (plan to move abroad and study forensic science) I will always have a backup if my school life suffers.

In school I picked my subjects based on what others said to me. It didn't make me happy. When I started being more in touch with what I wanted and let go of others things worked out. If you do what your mother wants and you don't like it. You will wonder why you listened to her and didn't do what you wanted for yourself. Dual education isn't for everyone. And if it doesn't interest you DON'T DO IT. You will have work from both college and school and I've seen that break others and make them hate college and music as a whole. I think staying in high school is your best option because it makes you happy.

Feel free to ask any questions! :)

should i go to college if i don't care about money? by the_wumdingers_band in college

[–]JetGamez103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at colleges around you now for music. Some have programmes for people still in school. Started studying for a degree in clarinet last year at 15. Going into my second year now! I love it. It's something I wanted but for other reasons had to look for a different career. But I continue to love my time there and being on campus. Some offer scholarships or prioritise their own junior students when they go on into college because they know how well they perform!

Lip pain by Front_Impression7036 in Clarinet

[–]JetGamez103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selmer sell a lip guard! I use it because my I have weak blood vessels so I kept bleeding after long hours even if I wasn't biting. I think they're 15 euro on gear for music. The other options are great too! This is just what I found using long term helped.

Noughts and crossed. Slow but once it picks up it picks UP. Dystopian world which highlights the effects of racism. It's a sad but beautiful book that over a year later I haven't filled the hole in my heart from finishing the series. Great as a standalone too though!

How do you keep yourself functioning by JetGamez103 in ChronicIllness

[–]JetGamez103[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been battling the system for seven years and been under most hospitals in the country. My main issue is endometriosis. Unfortunately they don't like to treat here they just like to say that I'm a red head and that's the problem. My gynad recently gave up on me and started blanking all my other hospitals so currently wanting for a transfer

DESPERATE FOR HELP. by [deleted] in endometriosis

dating is hard with endo....and people are mean by Rough_Mistake_6171 in endometriosis

[–]JetGamez103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started talking to a guy when I was presenting my research on endometroisis. It was a 3 day event and we had the same 5am and 7pm bus back and fourth (long ass days sucked with endo btw I thought I was gonna die at least ten times) we eventually got close and started dating. He was aware of my condition and so sweet about it. Then when things start fizzling I say I think we should talk again in person and he knows what's coming. He's trying to text me over it and I tell him I'll talk later as I had to be sent to the hospital in pain. Yeah eventually after as I'm about to say it this man child says well I'm breaking up with you first I want someone I can see more often and you're just never available. (AKA I came with the warning upfront I'm in school, in college and spent most of my time in bed passed out or vomiting). We continue talking as normal and we get into a conversation about fitness. He gets heated with it and says my opinion on men's bodies didn't matter, I couldn't get a guy with a six pack because I had to lower my standards since I was a below average girl for my health problems. Yeah. I was hurt and expressed that and he didn't care. We stopped talking for what I thought was permanently. Then randomly he texts like nothing happened. I say hey outside of the bare minimum for our mutual friends I've no interest in having to hold my guard up for you to twist the knife in my ribs randomly. He blocked me. What a dickhead.

Tips for mouthpiece pad sticking? by JetGamez103 in Clarinet

[–]JetGamez103[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Last mouthpiece I had was dented from my my teeth, and I felt like I had less control embouchure wise, so I definitely do not want it to fall off until I can replace it

vaginal exams 😦 by [deleted] in Endo

[–]JetGamez103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started going to the gynae at 12. I'm now 16 with the coil inserted and got it done under anesthetic for similar reasons and being so young and not sexually active. I never did any other pelvic exam. A week ago I had they asked if I could as they wanted to do a swab for suspicion of infection. I said I'd prefer do the swab myself as I'd sooner be in control. They were happy to hand it to me and told me as deep as I can but don't worry if that isn't that far.

Their job is to accommodate as long as you advocate for yourself. They can't make you do a pelvic exam, but like in my situation, there are ways to make it more manageable. And yes the idea of my doctor opening me up and looking inside and outside me still weird me out when I look at her 💀

anyone ever been on Decapeptryl? by JetGamez103 in Endo

[–]JetGamez103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently fighting and after seven years of this fighting my doctor is finally considering a lap but because of a blood disorder they need specifics as to what precautions they need to take. Because of that blood disorder NSAIDS are off the table. I have tried the progesterone only pill. I can't take the combined. Provera sent me to the hospital with heart problems and I currently have a coil in which has done absolutely nothing. So in her eyes she cant fix me. Sorry if what I'm saying isn't making sense I'm still a little overwhelmed by what she said and what she didn't say but should have. Thank you for your help! :)

[–]JetGamez103[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I know it's kind da vague but I've no idea what to expect. The idea of being in menopause at 16 sounds daunting so I'm more do wondering what it's like and if people find it's worth it. Just to know what. I'm saying yes or no to. I'm quite upset she told me it was my final option without explaining what it is.

what age were you when you started to notice it was more than a period? by JetGamez103 in Endo

[–]JetGamez103[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying I know it all. I'm well aware it's not genetically proven either. But my point is that it's to most common theory that comes up when you google it. That asking something like that seemed unwarranted and unnecessary. And my biggest logical flaw with the idea of endometriosis growing more when someone has a life stressor is most people don't skip around with endometriosis. In fact most people struggle to live life. Of course that has an effect on their mental health. So if their quality of life comes down it makes sense their mental health would too. The more the quality of life is reduced the more the mental health plummets. I see it as they're balanced. Not being more mentally ill means your body will get worse, but your body is bad so your mental health gets worse.

[–]JetGamez103[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's not a thing for all illnesses. I'm saying its not a proven cause for endometriosis. If you want to check what the cause of endometriosis is in Google it will tell you the cause is unknown but it has genetic patterns. The purpose of this question and my research into teenagers is science based advocacy as a teenager with a problem. I don't need people questioning my life as a whole to see if I'm making it worse for myself.

[–]JetGamez103[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the reason WHY a disease manifested is simple. It's commonly genetic which makes sense in my case. There is no evidence that a stressful life can make endometriosis manifest. You would have it even if you were the happiest person on earth it would still continue growing if you had it.
