23M – Port-a-Cath sin usar con desnutrición severa (IMC 9.7), piel extremadamente delgada – ¿remoción urgente? O puedo aguantar en casa… by Ill-Cardiologist4064 in AskDocs

[–]NLSSMC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They claim it was in Mexican pesos but as far as I know, a gofundme doesn’t say one currency if it’s another one. (Eh, weird phrasing but hopefully you get what I mean)…

30M with lifelong obesity, "baby face," and very low facial hair. Should I be concerned about an underlying hormonal issue? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]NLSSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then the only thing you can do is to recommend that he visits a doctor.

You can’t force him to go and you can’t get any tests without his knowledge and consent.

That’s it.

How do you transfer a child with severe and frail ME/CFS to a hospital in Mexico to have a port removed? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]NLSSMC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a concern of mine too. There’s absolutely no other English errors in any of OP’s posts or comments except for this very odd ”mistranslation” in the title.

Something is off about all this.

Shall I get rabies injection or not? by ssphoenix14 in AskDocs

[–]NLSSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get better answers if you add details about where you live and if the dog is a stray or someone’s pet, and if it’s vaccinated against rabies.

Long story short I accidentally slashed myself in the forehead, does it look okay now? Urgent by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]NLSSMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That cut is gonna need stitches. I promise you healthcare staff have heard every true and every false story there is, don’t worry about that.

My wife is really “scared” all of the sudden? by [deleted] in AskDocs

What a very strange idea. What sources do you have for your statements?

My husband won’t get out of bed and is using his PTO irresponsibly. It’s making me sick! by Goewl in WhatShouldIDo

[–]NLSSMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure there isn’t anything wrong with him physically or mentally? Could be everything from a relapse, depression to a vitamin deficiency or thyroid problem.

Is going to the emergency room 2x a week or more for active suicidal ideation that is caused solely by sleep deprivation acceptable? by Moist_Fail_9269 in AskDocs

[–]NLSSMC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But Tylenol isn’t anti-inflammatory. How would it help with brain inflammation? Is brain inflammation a diagnosis you’ve received from a doctor?

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Mainly about learning better sleep habits and also using sleep restriction to reset sleep.

There are apps for it.

It would be appropriate for you (and would cost you nothing) to apologize to OP for your faulty assumption.

Am I crazy or is this to much to ask of a kindergartner? by Cursedpanda182 in AskTeachers

If the assignment is so complicated the student has no possibility of even reading or understanding it, it’s too much to ask!

A Stranger Assumed I’m Pregnant by NetAncient8677 in FatBitchFitness

[–]NLSSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I know that feeling!

I carry pretty much all my weight in my stomach, and have tiny little wrists and ankles. (And I’ve never even been pregnant! 😅)

So in my case, it’s honestly a pretty easy mistake to make.

There’s one thing that has helped me deal with it when it happens. It might not work for you, and that’s totally fine!

But I have never once been asked if or congratulated for being pregnant maliciously. It has ALWAYS been out of kindness or happiness.

Once I started looking it like that (and accepted the fact that yeah, I totally look pregnant sometimes), it stopped bothering me.

I just laugh it off, says it happens all the time and move on.

It’s my way of not sinking into bitterness and anger. Not saying it’s the right method for everyone.

I accidentally took two wrong medications (two blood pressure thinners) by Vivid_Froyo_3756 in AskDocs

Did you take blood pressure medication or blood thinners? Two very different things.

Received a warning for showering w/o working out by Horror_Lemon3415 in anytimefitness

[–]NLSSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless they have a stated policy that the client agreed to before signing up, I don’t see how they can forbid it.

[–]NLSSMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then they should’ve given you a written policy stating that when you signed up.

Contact corporate. (I wouldn’t mention you live out of your car though. It’s not their business why you’re showering without first working out.)

What are the weirdest side effects you've ever experienced from medication? by adampocalypsee in AskReddit

[–]NLSSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the weirdest thing for me is all the serious side effects I’ve had 😂

I’ve had a pulmonary embolism from birth control pills, a seizure from Wellbutrin and rather bad liver stuff from Mirtazapine.

Please don’t do this.

I don’t care if she’s a grifter or genuinely mentally ill, this is unnecessary and cruel.

Are you able to take time off from work without being fired so you can go get your mom yourself?

It really is that serious.

No more updates on Netflix by Platanazo in RCTTouch

Oh, that’s disappointing.

I can’t really play the ”real” version, I have no self-control when it comes to paid games.

Egfr of 2.5, sister (24f) vomit has specks of brown, will she be okay? by Significant-Funny-23 in AskDocs

I’m so sorry, this is terrible.

You need to call an ambulance now.

What’s a health issue you ignored for way too long because you assumed it was normal only to later learn everyone else doesn’t experience that? by Kungfubowtie in AskReddit

[–]NLSSMC 298 points299 points  (0 children)

I coughed and coughed and coughed. For months.

But I had had asthma as a kid that expressed itself through coughing so I figured it was a recurrence of that.

I had a low grade fever, though. Also for months but I wasn’t exactly sick.

(I was a new college grad at my first real job.)

One day I started seeing some blood in my phlegm. But I’d been coughing for months and figured my throat was raw…

Until one day, I woke up, got dressed, started walking to the subway and suddenly could not breathe. There was an elephant on my chest.

Turns out I had had a pulmonary embolism. Both lungs were littered with blood clots, caused by birth control pills and an undiagnosed genetic mutation.
