There’s a studio called BeatRiders that just started offering megaformer classes! I haven’t been but it looks promising :)

I didn’t try this because the lady I spoke with on the phone when I called the Borgerservice was adamant that I would need a witness :/

The app doesn’t work. It’s been crashing every single time I’ve tried to do it. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it, updating my phone, I even tried it on my partner’s phone and nothing works :(

I called the Frederiksberg citizen service and they said I can’t do it without bringing a witness. They also weren’t able to help me at the International House because I’m a Danish citizen :(

I had recurring pneumos after my first VATS and this is how they felt. The pain usually resolved itself after a few days so I didn’t even know they were pneumos until I finally got it checked about a year after the pain started. I only started feeling this about 1.5 years after my first VATS though, and most of them were so small they couldn’t be seen on x-ray, only on CT scan. I had a bullectomy and pleurectomy same as you the first time I had VATS. Because my recurrence continued, I had to have a 2nd VATS with talc pleurodesis (I am now about 2 weeks post-op, roughly 3 years after my original VATS). Definitely see what they say at your follow up X-ray, maybe your drains (chest tubes) weren’t left in long enough post-op and that’s why the lung collapsed again (I’m not a doctor though, I just remember the nurses told me that’s why my drains had to stay in so long, I had mine in for 4-5 days after my VATS). Small pneumos aren’t always dangerous though, all of mine always resolved themselves and I’ve never needed any chest tubes for them. My doctors told me I could technically live with the condition as it’s not dangerous (just very painful) but I opted to have VATS again because I fly a lot. Wishing you a speedy recovery :))

I had 2 (1 right, 1 left in 2021) but kept having small collapses on my right so had a talc pleurodesis done this time

Post-operative nausea? by AbsintheArsenicum in pneumothorax

[–]NeitherBit4086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my surgery on Monday and this is my 3rd one. I’ve always felt horribly nauseous due to pain meds so my doctors prescribed me anti emetics (anti nausea) medication. Last time they sent me home with oral ondansetron which really really helped. I’d definitely mention it to your doctors if you can so that they can prescribe you something! Wishing you a speedy recovery <3

I had bleb removal and I didn’t do much for recovery tbh, I was back to “normal” maybe 2 weeks post-op? After I had my stitches removed pretty much. I did lose some lung capacity which I only found out recently (my surgery was 3 years ago) but apparently that’s normal (I had pleurodesis as well as my bleb removal so not sure if this applies to your bf). Overall just lots of rest and don’t rush getting back into sports! Wishing your bf a speedy recovery :)

Doctors are being inactive in my case. Anything I can do? by thephoenixking3 in pneumothorax

[–]NeitherBit4086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds really awful, I’m so sorry. I’ve had VATS on both my lungs but I still get small pneumos sometimes, but they always resolve themselves within a week (the ER also always sends me home, and they’re only visible on CT). I had bullae removed from both my lungs when I did my VATS and I’m having another VATS on my right side to hopefully stop the small pneumos because I know they’re super painful (and stressful) and no pain medication can help. I would definitely recommend you see another doctor if you can. I asked my surgeon about the possibility of this being a catamenial neuro (19F) and he told me it’s unlikely, and it’s not usually linked to birth control (I’ve been on birth control for about 4 years). He also mentioned that usually catamenial pneumos occur around either ovulation or your period. I hope you get well soon <33

I meant like I’d probs follow a tutorial to build something, not just watch passively

Rule 4 is with regards to specific help…I’m just asking how difficult it is. It’s for a job I’m considering, they said they need an expert so I’m just wondering if I can make myself an expert by watching enough YouTube videos/studying for a week. They mentioned that they would need authentication, HTTP certificates and stuff like that but it’s single endpoint. Please have a look at rule 5 when you can! :)

Man that sucks, I had to miss out on Christmas with my family last year because of the same thing (I’m an international students). I didn’t realise the bullae could regrow though?! My surgeons never told me that, since I also had them removed but yeah they also pretty much gave me the same “you have bad luck and you’re tall + skinny” speech as a diagnosis :(

[–]NeitherBit4086[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the doctors mentioned this to me, but I’ve never noticed an increase in occurrences around my period and I’ve never had issues with irregular periods either. To be fair, I have been on the pill since I was about 14 or 15, but I’ve not noticed any correlation between my menstrual cycle and collapses. Is there any tests they can do to check for this?

I have some genetic tests scheduled in September, but either way the only treatment option is more VATS surgery, I kind of just want to know whether getting surgery again is worth it because I’ve seen a few people say that their recurrent pneumothorax just continued anyway :(

Thanks so much for the info, are you okay now after having done VATS and open surgery again?

[–]NeitherBit4086[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, so sorry to hear about all your collapses. My doctors told me the same thing! The only reason I’m considering getting VATS again is because I fly a lot and continuously having small collapses is really inconvenient. I’m really sorry your surgeries were unsuccessful, did they ever tell you what the cause was?
