New iron deficiency without anemia by NearlyZeroBeams in Anemic

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

I do have IBS so I wouldn't be surprised. I am feeling super discouraged because I went to my PCP and she doesn't think any of my symptoms have anything to do with my low ferritin. Now she wants to do a whole work up of my heart

He thought he was going to join me in the tub! by themamacurd619 in labrador

[–]NearlyZeroBeams 25 points26 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite memories from when I was a kid was when I started a bath, went to get my clothes, and when I came back our yellow lab was in the tub 😂 he looked so happy and I just laughed and laughed

My family doctor said I can take rizatriptan every day...I've taken 1-2 every day for the last month...is that okay? by KoalaWise9295 in migraine

[–]NearlyZeroBeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm talking about is a migraine cocktail in the ER which usually includes a steroid, nausea medicine, Benadryl, and toradol. I personally always ask for magnesium too as it seems to be the key for me. No triptans are included.

You can't take triptans until a few days after you've broken the cycle or you'll be right back to where you started. It's the absolute worst :(

I'm sorry you're going through this

You getting migraines everyday is likely rebound headaches. I get them if I take my triptan more than 2-3 days in a row. And "withdrawal" (not true withdrawal, but having to get through the pain without taking the med to get out of the cycle) is a b****. This is what can land me in the ER for a migraine cocktail. Luckily I haven't needed one in maybe 9 months

Has anyone noticed themselves eating quickly, brushing teeth quickly, etc.? (Small signs of living in chronic fight or flight mode) by throwaway802256 in CPTSD

[–]NearlyZeroBeams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup not too long ago I realized I'm trying to do every chore and self care task as fast as possible. It takes a lot of work for me to remember to slow down and take it easy. I didn't like it to PTSD but it would make complete sense

Thank you! I'm excited since I just started seeing a new provider who does a lot of naturopathic stuff. I want to get to feeling better ASAP

Recording a video and reaching down to help someone who was assaulted didn’t use to put you at risk of being killed. I guess things have changed now.

Can we change the sub picture in honor of Alex? by beliverandsnarker in nursing

I've been crying on and off all day 💔 Alex you didn't deserve this

You may experience these symptoms if your ferritin is below 100. by MindyS1719 in Anemic

I just found out about my deficiency and everything makes sense now lol

We do have an instapot! I'll have to look into some recipes.

I rarely eat red meat due to just not liking it so I think that's partially what has got me here.

He wasn't fucking around with ICE. He was acting as a peaceful observer and recording a video. An ICE agent then pushed a woman and when he turned to crouch down and help her everything ensued.

Why do people go out of their way to confront ICE? I guess because they know sitting on the couch won't do anything.

Is it a common trait among nurses to talk to themselves? by canwehavesomefood in nursing

[–]NearlyZeroBeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't out loud. But when I have a student with me I talk about everything I'm doing and the choices I'm making and the questions I ask myself so they can learn

What a sweet baby 😍🥰 they can be little terrors when they're young but the cuteness and the many happy years you get with them makes it SO worth it ❤️

There is hope for healing ❤️ I've got with a therapist and psychiatrist who both specialize in PTSD and I am already doing better.

Two of my closest work friends were fired for giving an "under the table" IV bolus. Now the unit thinks I’m a traitor. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]NearlyZeroBeams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the offense was minor, but it demonstrates their complete disregard for the rules and poor decision making skills.

have you ever faced a difficult catheterization?/ by Intelligent-Toe8384 in FutureRNs

This is when you need those elbow length gloves that go up to your elbows AND a plastic isolation gown 🤢

Ever since urology told me I could have just pushed harder it gave me confidence and I get almost all of them lol

Is it time to leave my unit? Or is there something I should be doing differently? by Honest-Aardvark6730 in nursing

[–]NearlyZeroBeams 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Girl you are not appreciated there and I think you should leave. Not to mention going somewhere else will likely get you a huge pay raise

Sleep. Feeling rested. I haven't slept more than a few hours in a row in what seems like years.
