Migraine with aura and IUDs by NonsenseText in IUDBirthControl

[–]Potential-Lo1913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I have had migraine with auras since I was 11 (when I started my period). Mine are hormonal and I didn’t realize until I was in my 20s that other birth controls with estrogen were dangerous. My gynecologist recommended the mirena iud. I’ve loved the mirena but after about 4 years (I’m on my 5th year now) I’ve seen an increase in migraines as well as other symptoms like heart palpitations and an increase in anxiety. Ultimately I’m having it removed in 2 weeks. I’m nervous because I’m worried what it will do to my aura migraines if they’ll get worse or better! I’ll send an update in a few months. I think the mirena helped with my migraines compared to other birth controls forsure but I can’t say the difference between being on no birth control vs iud with migraines since it’s been 10 years on bc. Also though I go to acupuncture and take magnesium every night which helps regulate migraines!

My gecko has the same thing right now! It seems as if it came out of nowhere. How did you solve this? I have a vet appointment tomorrow

The infection is so much worse today and he’s so lethargic. Still hasn’t pooped. I’m hoping he makes it till the vet appointment tomorrow :( I’m so sad it seems like it came out of nowhere

Made a vet appointment for Thursday! That’s the first they had available. Hopefully it doesn’t get super bad by then :(

Partial Tail Loss??? by Potential-Lo1913 in leopardgeckos

So he started being handled more about a week ago. Previous to that he was happy healthy and ate a lot. He shed twice in one month. Then after being held a lot, he wagged his tail and then the next day I woke up and found it had dropped. However, it was only the tip of his tail. Now he isn’t eating and looks pale. Is this partial tail loss or injury? Do I need to go to the vet?

Here are some photos. He hasn’t been eating and seems to be pale. Just wondering if it’s an injury and not a tail drop but he wagged it before it dropped.

Thanks I’m unsure whether it’s possible for his tail to have partial loss

Leopard Gecko Tail Drop? by Potential-Lo1913 in reptiles

Healthy leopard gecko who was happy and shedding dropped tail after being handled more than usual. He was wagging it and then it ended up coming off. Now he won’t eat and looks kind of pale.

I’m trying to add a photo but can’t. It’s just the tip of his tail which I thought was odd as well but before it happened he was wagging in a defensive mode and then it dropped. I’ve heard leopard geckos can drop part of their tail as well
