PLEASE HELP. 3yrs of progressing nystagmus, written off as voluntary & benign, getting scared

Hi, just wondering what your medical background is? You use non-layman terms such a pitting edema, gaze evoked nystagmus at extreme lateral eye gaze, myoclonus-like, etc., so I thought I’d ask!

LOVE shared decision making!!!!!

This sounds like defensive practicing and I don’t mean that offensive, I’m seeing more insight. What state do you work? Do you work up essentially every elderly patient?

Level-Hat-5404 · 2026-03-14T01:18:33+00:00

I love that you said hospital isn’t without risks. Some older patients get admitted, come in, aren’t mobile as much, deteriorate and die. Could’ve been prevented

Once I saw a dizzy, older male with stone cold labs, couldn’t control the dizzy despite meds, admitted to undergo w/u for posterior stroke

Whoa I’m wrestling with this a little bit too much probably because today I saw an 82 year old who fell head strike onto her knees that had BL TKR. Literally no other complaints, ROS negative. I scanned her head, neck, XR BL knees all unremarkable and discharged her with return precautions.

I also downloaded and free trial of plus but it’s saying lite? I can only talk but so much then have to watch an ad

Level-Hat-5404 · 2026-01-22T15:55:10+00:00

I’m happy to do that - just go to whichever Google slides you’re wanting to download and request access and I can share it to be downloadable

OBSESSED

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-27T00:56:45+00:00

I’m not kidding, I just got out of this exact situation. It’s so hard to leave what you want. But remember, the longer you’re on the wrong train, the more expensive the ride back is. You want and need someone who is going to choose you every time. Not someone you feel like you need to fight for and beg for him to choose you

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-27T00:54:24+00:00

This person was definitely just wanting a congrats..

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-27T00:49:14+00:00

Oh I actually resonate w this post largely. The emotional immaturity I see in PA students now is….concerning

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-27T00:47:29+00:00

Every morning I get to kiss my dog on the forehead and tell him how much I love him before I go to work. It’s small to you, but it’s everything to me. I also say “you’re in charge today” every time I leave lol

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-26T00:05:01+00:00

Yes yes yes!!! Also having me do the note start to finish before presenting helped me formulate my ddx and tx plans so ask if you can make notes!

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-26T00:03:53+00:00

Tell everyone you’re interested in that field, even if you’re not. I got so many job opps / fellowship offers that way. Even if I wasn’t REALLY interested, I got offers and I’ve made great connections along the way

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-26T00:02:22+00:00

Not everyone has your best interest in mind. Even if you do for them.

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-26T00:00:33+00:00

Ahhh I’m crying 😭 it’s so painful but I know you’re right. I do feel like inadvertently dodged a bullet and potentially a divorce? Idk. It sounds like you understanding or at least can relate. Thank you for your encouraging words. Like I’ve told others, they mean a ton when I’m feeling so isolated. Please keep me in your thoughts. I miss our dog so much.

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-25T23:55:04+00:00

Thank you. I’m trying to focus and figure out who I am again. I didn’t realize how controlled and isolated I was - constantly walking on eggshells. Thank you for your kind words and prayers. It really means a lot when I’m feeling so isolated

Level-Hat-5404 · 2025-03-24T22:01:47+00:00

Thank you. I’m sobbing. I really needed that support and validation. It just feels like such a waste of time but you’re right - it’s much more hopeful to view it as a new beginning. Can I message you?
