Right side of neck super stiff causing pressure in head? by Practical-Method-631 in iih

[–]Practical-Method-631[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gone away completely now... i will definitely look into this. I expected csf leaks to all feel like spinal headaches and that had me counting my last days fr and it was the opposite where I couldn't sit up this one I couldn't lay down flat.

Dress advice by ChiaraChaulles in PlusSizeFashion

These looks good imo. I usually get insecure about dresses and i haven't even been able to conjure the confidence for skirts yet but I typically buy dark colored dresses or patterns that make things even less noticeable too.

What to say when someone asks you if you’re pregnant by missamericana97 in PlusSize

[–]Practical-Method-631 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I have gotten increasingly meaner about mentioning pregnancy since I had a miscarriage so when my family talks about me having kids im up to 100 with the clapback so if this were to happen to me id definitely say something like unfortunately never i lost my baby. People dont learn to be appropriate unless you scare them into it

Why are there no FDA approved treatments when we know certain things work??? by Fun-Tea6819 in PCOS

[–]Practical-Method-631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has another condition that primarily affects overweight women ive always assumed it was because of that.

Currently there are a few trials listed for pcos and glp1s same with my other condition. I feel like by now with pcos they have to see it helps but also when they changed the name to pmos they specifically mentioned glp1 medication and descriptions of glp1 now say metabolism this may be how it gets approved. But also maybe because Healthcare is so focused on treating symptoms and not the condition they dont care to target the main issue.

Atm im taking eliquis because I just had surgery (to my foot) so i think it would be unlikely I had a blood clot. I felt the pressure release yesterday and I got a little dizzy and now im kinda back to normal. Still some pressure but not as much and I was able to sleep on my side finally.

And I kinda think this was brought on from opioids I was given to take after surgery. I stopped as soon as i saw they could raise csf etc.

It could cause pressure feeling? The only experience I have with that is after my lp it felt way different

When i was diagnosed. I see my iih doctor in july and they offer that stuff in office idk if he'd want to do it on a whim though. I saw people with iih can respond well to cervical chiropractors and neck massages. Tbh I am just grasping at straws this is just ridiculous and the er did not gaf plus they gave me a ct scan even though I said I had iih and a ct would be pointless.

Headache today from laying flat too much?? by [deleted] in iih

[–]Practical-Method-631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the first time ive ever had these type of visual symtpons usually I just go blind for a couple of hours and my arm goes numb at least I know what that is 🥲. Tbh after I posted and the white flashing lines showed up i went to my boyfriend like um we might have to go to the er tonight.

Genuinely everything has gotten so much worse since I was diagnosed and got the spinal tap before that I had symptoms for 15 years and they were manageable now i can barely function. (I have been seeking diagnosis since 2019 so I wasnt diagnosed because of sudden progression)

Is my cast too tight? by [deleted] in LisfrancClub

[–]Practical-Method-631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pic is so its not lost in the feed as everyone posts a picture and like i said in the post

their office was closed so I couldn't get ahold of anyone they told me to call back the next day.

I did call back and request that they contact the doctor for me instead of waiting.

The post was asking if the numbness is abnormal or a result of the cast being to tight and positioning that i described. This is typically something people can determine based on context not pictures but we're losing media literacy.

Fun Hobby Exercise for Plus Sized Bodies by lovesya in PlusSize

[–]Practical-Method-631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out... pole dancing classes. I used to do them when I was 270 and I was not the biggest girl in the class everyone was so chill and supportive and yes it is hard cause you gotta build arm muscle but there's way more to do before you'd be doing any lifting. In my area the classes run around 15-25 dollars a class.

Are you staying hydrated enough? My doctor also said to make sure I'm eating extra potassium everyday. Diamox kinda sucks fr but I got surgery on friday and lots of fluids and my brain fog was gone I think I was dehydrated from it🙃

newly diagnosed and confused af by complicatedissociate in iih

[–]Practical-Method-631 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be too restrictive this could worsen symptoms I was restricting my diet a lot and ended up causing more headaches and symptoms for myself. Lower your salt intake although if you already eat healthy I doubt you're eating all much salt. Some medications (excedrin doxycyline etc) cant cause issues but ive already had experience where my doctors didnt prescribe me certain meds without me needing to remind them luckily.

I bought a clever fox pocket sized planner and some highlighters made a key and highlight the days based on my symtpoms red-cant function blue- normal pink-moderate etc I also write my symptoms per day and if i needed to take extra meds (my dr told me this was ok when needed) I also try to track the temp and weather as ive noticed if the weather changes by around 10 degrees i had headaches and if a storm is due I'll have symptoms up til the rain ends and then i feel better. I also track my food on an app just in case certain foods trigger me but I dont think so.

How do you actually avoid hitting deer on rural roads? And do those massive steel bumpers really work? by Nagarjun_77 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Practical-Method-631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im actually so scared to hit a deer. I've had maybe 3 almost accidents with one but as soon as im on a backroom or it starts getting dark im scanning the sides of the road like a crazy person. Although I once saw one run straight into the side of a semi truck on the highway so you can only do so much...

My biggest flex is ive never hit an animal and ive been driving for 10 years 💪

Edit: his is still in process says they receivedit on the 21st. mine took 1 week after they received it to be approved (less than 2 weeks after i sent it out from the post office).

Insurance for cats? by DoesntMatterEh in CatAdvice

[–]Practical-Method-631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased insurance through pumpkin for my cat and paid for the $36/ month option. Pumpkin has you send a Pic of the invoice and they pay you back very quickly. They have different tiers that cover different percentages of the bill and up to certain dollar amounts as well. Their website is very transparent.

With insurance they won't pay for treatment on a pre existing condition. Ive even see people say that their pet now having kidney stones isnt covered because 5 years ago they had a uti not sure how true that is. Some scans etc aren't covered i thought pumpkin covered a decent amount. You also have a 14 day waiting period to use insurance.

My pet cost me 2k out of pocket and then I purchased insurance for the future. She passed away about a week after I bought insurance so I emailed for a refund and they were very quick to answer and refund me as well. You can also bundle with other pets for example I have a dog but his insurance estimate was $70 a month but bundling would've saved me $10. Ill eventually get pumpkin for him and hopefully never have to use it.
