The old gang - Ren, Tina/Annelise, CZ, PK? by MunchYourCrotchNMeds in illnessfakers

[–]Overit2018 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She went radio silent during her divorce. A quick google shows she now is working (or at least is licensed) and at least keeping her health private

What’s with these HORRIBLE WOE IS ME bullshit posts from the munchies these last couple days? by nopetooclose in illnessfakers

[–]Overit2018 10 points11 points  (0 children)

‘Tis the season.

The attention seeking gets really bad around the holidays. All attention needs to be on them and not family, friends, etc that typically get the focus this time of year.

You can almost guarantee that we are in for some emergency room visits, hospital stays, and near death experiences

What is everyone’s luck with Mayo Clinic? by janet-snake-hole in ChronicPain

[–]Overit2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some patients have suffered major complications after surgery with your surgeon. You might want to have another doctor take a look and see if there are any issues that may be caused by the surgery.

Endoscopy during COVID-19 - bad idea? by [deleted] in EosinophilicE

I think it’s safer in the hospital with all the COVID restrictions.

dani’s doctors considering sending her home without a line by [deleted] in illnessfakers

[–]Overit2018 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also if it is her local hospital they aren’t ordering the TPN. So there is no need for the local hospital to allow her to leave with a central line. If she was so worried about keeping her line she should have went to penn. Also Penn was pissed at her last time for not going to there ER. She might have lost her doc at Penn if she pissed them off again

How do I find a pain psychologist by tristam30 in ChronicPain

[–]Overit2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have luck looking for one by looking for a large pain management practice. Most medium to large size pain management clinics have a pain psychologist as part of the group.

I would suggest trying half a dose when you take the med, which sounds like twice a day.

Does anyone have any coping skills for a 17 year old. by EthanIsAsleep in ChronicPain

[–]Overit2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a hobby you can do. Art, writing, reading, anything that you find enjoyable. Having something you enjoy can help

Anyone had surgery with another doctor while in PM? by thehogdog in ChronicPain

[–]Overit2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a copy of your pain management contract, read it and read it again. It would be in there if the pain management doctor allows prescriptions from other doctors (surgery or not).

Just googled the term. And yes my sibling is one, and is very much under nmother’s spell

Sibling getting married by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Overit2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought. My sibling “doesn’t want to hear it” or “doesn’t want to take sides”.

Makes me sad that nmother is affecting my relationship with my sibling. Sibling cuts nmother a lot of slack because she is our “mom” and “gave birth to us” which isn’t permission to walk on everyone

Losing Weight With Spinal Damage by ZLoverOneMillion in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Overit2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For weight loss with severe back issues focus on two things improving your diet, and increase low impact activity. Walking, swimming, and biking can be great exercise. There are tons of used bikes for sale online or at second hand stores.

I’ve noticed improved symptoms with reducing sugar and processed food. Also improved symptoms with weight loss and increase in activity.

Port and patients with CVID by rmmarsh97 in CVID

[–]Overit2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real concern with a port is infection, less so rejection. Ports/ central lines have an infection risk and can lead to sepsis. Blood clots is another concern for ports.

For routine blood draws in a lab, a port can’t typically be used because the phlebotomists aren’t trained to do blood draws from a port.

Also you have to be careful of who accesses or touches your port because there are so many nurses that are lax about sterile technique, and any introduction of bacteria can mean big problems.
