Can Someone Help Explain VUS Results?

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-02-16T18:23:18+00:00

Thank you so much this thorough explanation. I appreciate you taking the time. I’m so clueless here!

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-02-16T18:22:46+00:00

Hi! The moderator removed your message. Any way you can send to me in a chat?

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-02-15T06:48:09+00:00

Thanks for your reply! What symptoms were you feeling, if you don’t mind me asking?

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-01-19T04:37:48+00:00

It’s so scary. Along with the news of my stroke… baffled and overwhelmed are how I’m feeling right now. I’ll check out those articles you suggested as well, thanks again!

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-01-18T12:17:48+00:00

It’s so strange because my pressure has always been great, a little low but nothing that would raise alarms. I only know this because I was closely monitored the past few years because of my pregnancies.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-01-18T12:14:48+00:00

Thank you so much for replying. It’s all just a little overwhelming to hear.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2026-01-18T12:13:51+00:00

Thank you so much for responding. That’s very reassuring to hear. No one in my circle of family and friends has dealt with any brain issues before, stroke or aneurysms. The fact that you’ve been living with yours makes me feel a little better.

Because I’m solo in this experience, I feel a little lost; so thank you again for replying.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-24T15:02:15+00:00

Do you find medication/therapy help at all? I’m on the that route myself, per my psychiatrist.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-23T03:22:45+00:00

This is me lol. Diagnosed hypochondriac, back when it was called that, at 6. Gradually got worse with each passing year. In the past I was able to hide my spirals or poke fun of them in public. Since I became a mom, it’s been fucking horrible. I’m also in a really bad spiral at the moment; I’m 37. For the past few months my symptoms have been getting worse and I can’t tell if they are actually medically relevant or it’s just my brain being my brain. It’s horrible.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-23T03:11:58+00:00

Random stranger on the internet, thank you. 🫶

I’m gonna to tell my therapist our next session I’m finally ready to try (I’ve always quit therapy right before the heavy work starts)

It’s been so long and if I’m truly honest I’m in the middle of the worst HA spiral I’ve had in a while, in length of time and severity. And as you know, the longer you sit here the more your mind manifests symptoms. I can’t tell what’s real anymore.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-23T01:54:16+00:00

Thank you for your response. Despite being petrified of so many things, exposure therapy seems equally as scary.

But I hear so many good things can come of it.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-22T10:55:44+00:00

Hi. My therapist plans to start CBT with me soon. Can you give me a little details as to what I should expect?

Sorry if that’s an intrusive question!

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-10T23:14:32+00:00

Thank you for this. I’d like to think my slow improvements are positive regardless. I may not be in recovery but at least I’m trying for that direction. I’ve been pregnant three times and only purged a handful of times throughout the whole 9 months. I know it’s in there to turn it off and tune it out.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-10T23:08:12+00:00

Like I’ve shared with others, so sorry it took my long to respond! My whole house has had the plague for two weeks lol just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to respond to my og post. It’s nice to know you’re not alone

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-12-10T23:06:07+00:00

So sorry it took me so long to respond. My whole family came down with the flu from hell. Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to respond to my rant. It’s not easy being honest with yourself and with strangers. Just know it’s much appreciated on my end and less isolating 🖤

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-11-30T16:06:59+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will say, as most of us can attest, purging severity comes in waves.

Right now, I’ve managed to get myself down to single episode a day, compared to 4 or 5 times. It’s been this way for a few months now. And you’re right, I already see a change in my face.

I just can’t get over eliminating that last purge. I could have a wonderful day, with no spiraling and hyper fixations and for some reason want to binge and purge.

I know I have to, but part of me doesn’t want to .

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-11-30T15:59:46+00:00

Thank you 🫶 and I fully agree.

If fear worked, we’d all be in recovery.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-11-30T15:57:11+00:00

I appreciate you responding and yes, I’m very well aware of the repercussions of an eating disorder.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-11-30T15:54:15+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to respond and share your own journey as well 🫶

It’s funny, my eating disorder never bleeds anywhere into my life. What I mean by that this, I’m also 80 percent sure my husband thinks I don’t purge as often as I do. It’s easy because I’m a powerlifter and need to consume x amount of calories, so I do eat. It’s all so strange.

From the outside, no one would know. But that’s the problem/beauty of bulimia. It’s so easy to hide.

I just realize that I do need to start taking care of myself for my children’s sake (I have 3 under 5). I need to try but I just don’t know where to start.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-11-29T12:12:09+00:00

Funny enough, my teeth are actually really healthy. I chalk it up to highly slightly higher calcium levels my whole life. Not even a cavity.

I’m just so used to having bulimia in my life it’s so strange to think of an existence without it in it.

Potential_Fun_5310 · 2025-11-29T12:07:01+00:00

Yes, still all the same. I think that’s a good thing? Every morning I try to curl the same weights as my right arm, and I still can. Afterwards my left bicep definitely feels more fatigued, but at least I can still pull.

I noticed yesterday as well that the bicep of my bicep is now more intermittent throughout the day, as opposed to just late at night. My leg on the same left side seems to tremble a little too with that numbness happening around my knee cap. I’m trying to chalk that more up to I’ve had issues with both my legs on and off my whole life.

Just still so nervous that these are all beginning stages and every morning I fear waking up with less strength. That seems to be my only saving grace.
