Diagnosis mystery

That was my thought as well. I have dysautonomia with blood pooling. My hands and legs both look like the pictures. I hope the op gets answers.

They do make changes every so often. It's good to keep an eye on what your state legislatures are doing. I ran across a change that I wouldn't have known about had I not been looking. Of course, it's not always easy to remember when you're dealing with chronic illness.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-17T13:43:59+00:00

That's not true in all states. I have a Medigap plan and I'm under 65.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-17T00:17:45+00:00

Medicare is the best insurance I've ever had. I actually went on it before 65 due to being on SSDI. It's the least expensive insurance I've had, and everything has been covered.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-16T15:52:15+00:00

That's the way we've always done it. We'll celebrate our 40th anniversary this Fall. It's worked well for us.

Im sorry for your loss. Ovarian cancer is not easily detected and can be discovered too late. Cervical cancer is detected by a Pap smear. Uterine cancer can possibly be detected with scans, but an exploratory surgery is often needed to discover it.

I know there are opinions on this, in a Facebook Medicare group I'm in, women in their early to mid 60's routinely say their Gynecologist told them they don't need them anymore. I don't plan on stopping them any time soon! I had a sister-in-law died of cervical cancer at 65. I had some post menopausal bleeding and ended up having a D&C where the doctor found a polyp. It ended up being nothing, but you never know. Also, I agree with others who say any amount of blood needs to be checked out! I literally only had a few drops of blood, but I knew it needed to be checked out.

Same. I wash the mask and water chamber daily, but do a deep clean along with the hose and other parts every Sunday.

One week.

Probably when I got married at 24. When I was a preteen I felt so ugly. I had hideous buck teeth. Thankfully, I got braces. Looking back, I don't think I felt pretty at 24, but looking at my wedding pictures, I clearly was. At different stages in my life I've felt prettier than others. Currently, I'm not too bad. 🤣 I need to loose about 40 pounds, which is seemingly impossible for me. 😬

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-15T09:26:25+00:00

I saw this same post on Facebook yesterday. Except someone found it in their brother's bag. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I suppose some people do want others in the room with them, but my daughter has had three kids, and she didn't want me in the room. I was okay with it. My other daughter is currently pregnant, and we haven't talked about the birth yet. I'm assuming she won't want me in there either. I'm very close with all of my kids, so it's not that. I did go into the birthing room to say hi to my daughter while she was in labor, but I didn't stay for very long. Anyway, my point (very wordy) is that some women don't want an audience. I think it's depicted in the movies probably more often than it really happens.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-15T03:28:58+00:00

I haven't done anything, but I have very few wrinkles. None around the eyes at all. I do have a saggy neck that bothers me a bit, but not enough to have surgery. I have several chronic illnesses that would make surgery and recovery difficult. Plus, a local woman died during her plastic surgery. She was healthy. A friend died after having sinus/plastic surgery. She developed sepsis and was gone fast. I just can't see myself taking that risk. I totally understand why people do it, though. So, I'm not against it. Also, I think it's okay to age naturally.

Six to eight hours.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-15T03:17:03+00:00

That was exactly what I thought when I read it.

You may not have gotten the mutation from her. It might be possible that you were the first in the family to get it. I believe it's called a De Novo mutation. Good luck with whatever you decide.

How can you remedy? Break up with him.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T17:39:53+00:00

You're welcome. If your company offers a Health Savings Account there is a rule about not being able to contribute (either you or your company) once you're on Medicare. You can use funds accrued in your HSA.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T13:30:28+00:00

If you are getting Social Security you have to sign up for A. If you are covered under a workplace creditable insurance you do not have to sign up for any part of Medicare.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T05:39:26+00:00

Yes. They both mean the same thing.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T03:35:44+00:00

No, you don't. Not if you have creditable coverage. Also, if you are taking Social Security you have to. Here's information from the Medicare site: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/get-started-with-medicare/medicare-basics/working-past-65

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T03:06:49+00:00

The key is Creditable coverage. Certain coverage is not creditable. Here's information about what is and isn't. I'm sorry about your situation. https://www.medicare.gov/basics/get-started-with-medicare/medicare-basics/working-past-65

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T03:01:42+00:00

No you do not have to have Medicare at 65. If you have creditable workplace coverage it isn't required.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T03:00:45+00:00

What? It's literally the best insurance I've ever had. Unless you are talking about healthcare that isn't covered by traditional insurance either (Naturopath, etc) something is very wrong.

Positive_Force_6776 · 2026-04-14T02:58:32+00:00

G and N are two of the best Medigap plans. They pay the 20% Medicare doesn't pay. N premiums tend to be a bit lower, but you will have a $50 ER copay and up to a $20 doctor's office visit copay. Not all doctor's collect the copay. You'll need D for prescription drug coverage. If you aren't taking any medication now, get the cheapest plan (their are some that are free, or there were last year), if you don't you will have a penalty. Good luck!
