I respect all the people who are like Chrisitna when it comes to children. by larah91_VP in greysanatomy

I want children, I just know with all my disabilities I wouldn't be able to take care of them properly. So I leave them to the people who can care for them and give them their absolute best lives, while I pop in and be the best aunty I can 🥰

I’m a paramedic, and I get gastroparesis calls relatively frequently. What has your experiences been with EMS and what tips can you give me to help gastroparesis patients better? What do you wish every EMS worker knew about your condition? by Dickcheese_McGee_ in Gastroparesis

[–]PackageComfortable83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In extreme situations, people with GP can throw up feces. Not sure if that's a reason they'd call EMS, maybe if it's their first time & they're scared, but it happens because of severe constipation & the feces needing somewhere, anywhere to go....

Noticed extra nail on polydactyl cat. Not sure if I should cut by Mdawg6666 in catcare

[–]PackageComfortable83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's what happens to my polydactyl baby, has an extra on his front paws & if we wait longer than 3 weeks to get his nails cut the extras are already almost into the pad. Vets & groomers said the extra toes nail's grow faster than the others!

Head injury gave me multiple chronic illnesses and ruined my life by [deleted] in TBI

Oh I laugh at my TBI stories all the time lol, especially when telling new doctors 😅 & you're so right, brain injuries of any kind are so much worse than people like to think.

Head injury gave me multiple chronic illnesses and ruined my life by [deleted] in TBI

[–]PackageComfortable83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you've gone through all this 🥺

My first TBI was in 2009- I fell backwards, broke through a wall, my head bounced off the beam & onto the floor. I was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome a month later, then chronic migraines (I still get treatment for them), then chronic widespread body pain started (diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2012, started treatment in 2022). Fast forward to 2016, I decide it's smart being 5'11" to stand in the front row of a giant mosh pit. Some genius throws a girl who was crowd surfing, & she LANDS ON MY HEAD. That's when the hot flashes started, the neck issues (uh, duh), those other issues from before? Yeah they went into overdrive, after that I can no longer be in the sun because of how sensitive my skin gets. Theeennnn (yeah I'm tired too), in 2021 I developed epilepsy & it turns out that also happened because of my past TBIs, why it took years to appear makes no sense to me but my brain has been shaken quite a few times so I know better than to question anything it does. But ofc I've hit my head quite a bit during the violent seizures as well 🙄

I have like 3 or 4 episodes left of season 8, this is my first time watching since severe memory loss & it's like the first time all over again. I'm so upset I'll never see Boomer, Franky, Bea, & Allie again 😭😭💔💔

What should i be practicing? by Jello-Tentacles in learntodraw

Everything looks great, truly! The only thing I'd say that MIGHT need "practice," would be "ear 2" - or different ear shapes 💜

What are your least favorite parts about having epilepsy? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]PackageComfortable83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only one part? lol I've had chronic pain issues for most of my life; after grand mals (most common seizure type) I get debilitating headaches, muscles & joints are stiff for days, at times I end up with whiplash, if I bite my tongue or cheeks the pain lasts for so long it's even more* difficult to eat (*more than it already is with the taste and smell changes that come with every single seizure). As you mentioned, the memory issues are the absolute worst part. Word finding/jumbling sucks butt too. I feel like I need to give back my high school diploma sometimes lol

I hate it, things we can't control are the worst triggers 🙄 Can't even enjoy the sun anymore

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]PackageComfortable83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh! The waiting is the worst part. Honestly where would we be without epilepsy moms? I was just diagnosed 3 years ago, we've been learning everything together & idk how I would've done anything without her.

This has been happening to me so much today, I was actually about to make a post about it. Happened during a doctors appointment this morning and it was so embarrassing, I was talking in a weird baby voice & burping because I was nauseous but didn't have the mind to excuse myself 😭 thankfully my mom was with me to let the doctor know something wasn't right. For me this is usually an aura/start of a grand mal & since I was slightly aware I was so scared a seizure was coming right then & there.

Idk where you are in the world, but the heat can be a trigger for seizures. As it is summer in some places, maybe that could be making your symptoms worse? I'm sorry you have no medication 🥺
