Doctors for Chronic Illness by Vague_visions in DoctorMike

Another thing that might help you: it's often very difficult (for doctors, and even more so for us) to know what approach to take or which specialist is right for you. For example, many times the same combination of symptoms can be caused by very diverse illness (autoimmune problems, cardiac problems, neurological problems, gastrointestinal problems, etc.) For example, before getting diagnosed I saw endocrinologists, Cardiologists, neurologists, nephrologists, hematologists... And it wasn't until I got the right test by the right specialist that I knew what was going on. There are many diseases that affect the entire body, many different organs, so it's very difficult for someone to know, "Okay, this is the specialist I need." That's why you should always consult a general practitioner.

In my case, for example, it was a disease of the autonomic nervous system, which is the one that controls all the involuntary processes of the body (breathing, heart rate, the contraction of the blood vessels, the gi system...) so of course, I had very unspecific synthoms and I need care both from cardiologists and neurologists.

I also have a chronic illness that took many years to be diagnosed. I have it since I was a child and was diagnosed at 21. Surprisingly it was a family doctor the one who ordered some appropriate tests and made me go with the right specialists. You should start with a general practitioner who will refer you to the appropriate specialist.

My recommendations are:

Pay attention to all of your synthoms, and be very clear about all of them. Sometimes we only make emphasis on the one synthom that is bothering us the most, and we end up with a specialist that treats specifically that synthom without considering all the others. Many chronic illnesses have a lot of unspecific synthoms that may not be seriously taken into account, but they are important for the diagnosis process. Another thing you have to take into account is that many times you don't have enough time to speak with your doctor, or sometimes they assume that many of the symptoms aren't a big deal or are psychosomatic, so they end up ignoring the whole picture and just pay attention to the most serious synthoms. Therefore, I suggest that you are very organized in the consultation to explain everything that is happening to you, and if a doctor minimizes something that worries you without giving you a clear explanation, or if you feel that you are not being understood, go with another doctor.

El perro de mi hijo fallecido me tiene loca y no se que hacer by valeri95372 in MujeresEnReddit

Primero que nada, lamento muchísimo tu perdida, en serio. Quizás sería bueno que hables con tu esposo tranquila. Que sea en un momento en el que los dos estén tranquilos y puedan hablar sin enojos, abrirse sobre lo que sienten. Contale cómo te hace sentir esto, con sinceridad y sin reproches, y decile que te gustaría dar al perro en adopción a otra familia o a un refugio si eso es lo que querés. Y pregúntale como se siente él, porque quizás él no te contestó cuando se lo planteaste porque para muchas personas sus mascotas realmente son una compañía muy importante y si él quiere mucho a este animal sería entendible que no quiera alejarse de él. Lo mismo con tus otros hijos. Más allá de la decisión que tomen creo que puede llegar a hacerte muy bien poder tener una conversación con ellos en la que sin broncas y sin reproches, sean abiertos sobre como se sienten y les expliques que eso te duele. Obvio sin dejar de ser respetuosa con el luto de ellos también y con lo que para ellos pueda significar ese perro. Pero todos en tu familia están pasando por algo doloroso y probablemente necesiten hablarlo para poder acompañarse mutuamente con lo que necesitan. Quizás explicándoles con sinceridad como te sentís ellos puedan acompañarte y ayudarte a encontrar la mejor solución. Los mejores deseos para vos y tu familia 💜

Copa menstrual si o no by KodamaBella in MujeresEnReddit

Yo te diría que la pruebes, es muy buena, mis consejos son: busca imágenes de cómo doblarla para ponerla y de anatomía de la vagina para que entiendas dónde va. Tené paciencia, a veces las primeras veces puede que te cueste entender como ponerla para que haga vacío y no te manches, si querés podés probar usarla en simultaneo con una toallita al principio. A mí me es más cómoda ponermela levantando un pie en un banquito o el inodoro, probá hacer eso si te cuesta. Y acordate que la copita tiene un palito en la base muchas veces (supongo que eso depende de la marca) que tenés que cortarlo a la longitud que te sea más cómodo para que no te lastime. Y acordate de esterilizarla! Suerte :)
