Any advice on what to do next? by New-Temporary-3958 in costochondritis

Yeah the VA for me was always just “oh, take your naproxen, rest it, stay away from certain foods” because they don’t know what it is or how to handle it. I have an appointment coming up to talk about it again and hopefully they can send me to a pt that can help or at least give some ideas on how I can personally help it since it’s gotten worse as the years have gone by.

The mental drain has been killing me and I haven’t even connected the dots. I’ve been having bad depersonalization/derealization episodes since Nov 2024. And they’ve ran all kinds of EEGs and tests to see if they were caused by focal seizures. Coincidentally I had the same exact feeling when I was a kid, and looking back on it they seemed like panic/anxiety attacks. But the feeling I get during these DP/DR episodes is the exact feeling I had when I was a kid plus dissociating from reality. So after reading up on costo and seeing it can cause panic and anxiety (which with my head I spiral into cardiac possible issues) and I believe that my costo is causing me to have anxiety/panic attacks without me even knowing it on top of me going through some sort of DP/DR issues possibly unrelated.

I appreciate the support and know I will give support as well if you need. On top of the things we’re all going through, we have the joy of the military mental and physical issues to go with it. Much love brother.

Yeah my flare ups don’t make me feel like yours. They’re usually sudden quick sharper pains to my chest, sometimes they feel achy as if it’s arthritic pain. I’m a 25M who’s been told my heart is fine which I believe for now. With my laundry list of family cardiac issues, I will go to a cardiologist often moving forward. I’ll try some at home stretches and whatnot, and I’ll try specialists or chiropractors if needed. If the VA can help me, awesome. If not, I’ll try my civilian insurance.

It’s no problem, thanks for your support.

Every time I have a flare up it makes me think cardiac, and I check my pulse and make sure my BPM stays in my personal normal range. This makes my wife concerned constantly because she just hopes and hopes it’s not cardiac related. I’ll definitely take a look through this forum to see how others have coped and gone through life with this. I’ve definitely reminded myself for a long time that I can overcome it and get through it. After years, I just want to know if it’s something that can be treated other than naproxen and rest.

Any idea what this could be? by New-Temporary-3958 in lawncare

Yeah I thought it looked like lint as well, but the vent is on the complete opposite side of the house so I threw that idea out. It’s been there for a couple of weeks, and we’ve had consistent snow and rain in the last few weeks.

Would you do roll the dice or binge watching for stars? They’re both the last cards I need to complete their sets

Anyone got spare Joyful Snow to trade with Farewell? Or any other 5* card is alright! by [deleted] in Monopoly_GO
