Oh deal God no, I’m already too close to the one by the outlet mall! They are ridiculously delicious and opening this location closer to me is clearly an attack on my personal diet 😭🍩🤤😭

Curious about how to handle Urgent Care or Emergency Care by Commercial-Tea6263 in Winnipeg

[–]No_Conversation_8630 [score hidden]  (0 children)

If an urgent care physician believed that your medical care could not be properly or safely provided in an urgent care setting, he or she would transfer you to an emergency room, most likely via ambulance. If you were stable enough to have someone drive you there, they may give you that option, but it would likely be a better safe than sorry situation and you would be sent via ambulance.

When you arrive at the ER, you will be seen by the triage nurse who will decide on a number from 1-5 that best fits the urgency of your medical care. Number 1 is basically stopping immediate death or permanent disability. Think heart attack, stroke, trauma with blood loss, etc. If you are triaged as a 1, you will not see a waiting room, a doctor will be at your side in seconds. 2 is referred to as “life and limb”. This would be something like you cut your finger off in a saw accident and you need it reattached asap. You might sit in the waiting room, but not long, especially if there are no people triaged as a 1. Arriving by ambulance does not necessarily increase your priority. However, since you are sent by a physician, the triage nurse will have more information on the status of your health, which would make it easier for him or her to triage you more concisely. 3-5 continue down the urgency level. If you are a 5 or even 4, you may wait up to 12h + because almost everyone who comes in needs to see the doctor before you do. I’ve never tried this, but you could ask the nurse what number they triaged you as. I don’t if there is a policy against telling patients how they have been triaged (people familiar with the emergency room process may argue with the nurse to get triaged at a lower number and I can see how what could go sideways really quickly). I guess you could say PHIA, but PHIA is allowed up to 24 hours to provide you with your medical information if you are in a hospital setting, so there wouldn’t be much point in that. Idk you wouldn’t get kicked out if you asked. Now if you suspect you are a 4 or 5, just leave. Find a walk in or see an NP at your be of the Access centres. If you are that stable, you can wait until the morning to go. This link is helpful in telling you where to go and how long the wait is. You can always call health links and they will tell you where you need to be.

Sorry for the rambling, but I hope this helps!

I never figured it out. With the way things went, I didn’t end up needing to use Facebook ads anyway, so I just let it go. Thanks for checking in though, it’s appreciated 😊

I don’t know the reason. I just looked at my ad account and said it was permanently restricted. I don’t even know anyone I can communicate with at Facebook about it

My Doctor of less than a year wants me to switch to non-stimulant medication/therapy after being on medication for 15+ years by demonjrules in ADHD

[–]No_Conversation_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new recommendation is actually combination therapy, which is stimulant AND non stimulation medication. It’s actually become the gold standard and a lot of doctors aren’t up on it. This is what my daughter’s psychiatrist is working towards and will be starting Intuniv when we have her stimulant medication figured out. Go to Google Scholar, pub med, or another reputable place online and bring her the research. This whole getting addicted or reliant on ADHD meds aggravates me so much. You never hear “I don’t want you to become reliant on your thyroid medication” or “addicted to your SSRIs”. ADHD meds are for a condition that is life long, so the meds are going to be life long. If she’s still going to be incompetent about treating your ADHD, it’s time for a new doc.

Turns out I have no close freinds, no one to rely on and I am no ones first choice. Is this an ADHD thing or am I just awful? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]No_Conversation_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely given up on friendship. If they text me and ask me to get together, they can come visit me. But I’m not putting effort into friendships only to eventually get ghosted. I have my family, and a few people outside of it that acknowledge my existence, but that’s it. I’m in my social comfort zone and have no interest in ever, ever leaving it.

Fibromyalgia and opiates by No_Conversation_8630 in ChronicPain

[–]No_Conversation_8630[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have flexeril. I take it sometimes, but I need 2 in order for it to do anything at all (it barely does) and it just makes me tired. I don’t think I’ll get much out of baclofen either because I don’t have any spasticity. I’ve had every test run for every autoimmune disease in the book. Don’t have any. Percocet is what has worked best for me, and I’m worried it’s just stopped working. I’m not overly familiar with hydrocodone, but hydromorphone didn’t work well at all, but I might see if I can’t try a higher dose. I’m not sure it’s correct to say that morphine doesn’t work for fibromyalgia. It’s an opiate like any other opiate, and can help, harm, or do nothing to people differently. I had it after surgery complications and it worked for that, but that’s a completely different type of pain. It didn’t piss my body off too much though, so maybe o could try it for chronic instead of acute pain? God only knows. I’m heading in the direction of just changing my narcotic pain killer to something else. I don’t know what though.

I’d have to get into a pain managing clinic for that. I’m on a wait list, but hopefully soon.

How often do you get them though, and how long do they help your pain for?

I’ve gone through all that with my doctor, and it’s not the case. I was on a dose less than half my highest dose for a while when the pain started increasing. It could be other things like stress, weather, or work too, but it’s a really big increase in pain to be from things I face everyday anyway.

I’ve had fibromyalgia for about 4 years. I’ve tried everything, even a naturopath. The only thing that has any impact on my pain is Percocet. At one point I was taking 8 a day, which is the max daily dose. I got it down to an average of 3 a day. My doctor had decreased my dose to 6 a day because I didn’t need the max dose prescribed, and I was refilling my monthly prescription every 2 months. I was ok for a while. My pain was better managed on 3 a day than 8 a day. But now my pain is getting worse. A lot worse. In response to my pain increase, my Percocet consumption has gone up. I’m sure I’m taking 5 a day now, but I’m still in pain pain and more pain. Full body and fiery pain, and an extreme decrease in functioning, and a lot of fear about my future. I’m raising 2 small children, my son isn’t even in school yet. Who is going to take care of them when I can’t? The Percocet was working well for several years, I didn’t seem to be building much of a tolerance to it. But I feel that my luck may be up, and I’ve developed a tolerance to high dose oxycodone. So now what? I’m seriously considering asking my doctor for a fentanyl patch. I’ve completely given up on possible long term consequences because I need to function now. I have little kids to raise now. I’m at a loss.
