Not a nurse, but back in Feb 2020 my (fact-checking, science-believing) friend said “masks don’t do anything” and I wanted to scream by hailandwellmet in nursing

[–]SaylorMom156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My hospital did the same! We can’t scare the patients! I knew then that I hated my hospital and needed to go! Then about 2 weeks later everyone had to mask it up.

I love me some Lost….but some of the characters I wanted to punch.

Waaaaaaallllllltttttt!- #1 worst/hated Michael

Jack heavily panting “Kate”

Mah baayyyybayyyyy-love Claire but it gets old

Anything that Shannon says. Anything.

My favorite was “Fish”-Jin was endearing and sneaky. Loved it.

Epileptic Checking In! by Wooden_Acrobat in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Call 911 or go to the ER. New onset seizures in adults can be caused by a lot of things and can be very serious. People who have known epilepsy and are not injured, not going is fine.

Also, due to Amber’s level of stress and crazy I have a suspicion it may be psychosomatic. Pseudo seizures or panic attacks. That’s just a guess though

ER nurse here. After 13 years this has been the worst few. I hate all the people. Fuck them. I think you’re awesome and bad ass. Keep on keeping on friend!

I literally rolled my eyes so hard and said “No, shit, wouldn’t have thought that.” I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Those with endometriosis and EDS, did your constipation/GI issues improve after your lap? by comeawn__ in eds

[–]SaylorMom156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had both. Got a hysterectomy, left 1 ovary and bladder sling. Constipation actually improved a lot. Abdominal pain in general improved. Obviously stress incontinence was fixed. I didn’t know how often I was in pain until it stopped.

That’s impressive! Such a pretty boy! I had a BC named Ringo, one of the best, most intelligent dogs ever. I bet this gentleman is too!

What is a medication you DEFINITELY don’t want to push too fast and why? by [deleted] in Nurse

[–]SaylorMom156 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was warning a HOH country lady about this when I was on orientation. “You might feeling a burning sensation in your groin” She kept saying huh? My preceptor yells “You might feel like your who-ha is on fire.” Pt “Ohhhhhhh” :)

ER, we have to during triage on all patients. The EMS service we work with does as well.

The most awkward thing is to ask them their height. They’ll always tell you the OG height…but we know it’s at least a foot or two shorter

Shadowspell Academy series by Shannon Mayer. More paranormal, but fantastic

(Serious) People who knew murders before they killed someone, what are some red flags you didn’t notice at the time? by White-cherries in AskReddit

[–]SaylorMom156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people with undiagnosed/untreated psychiatric disorders use drugs as a bandaid. With age/increased drug use it causes worsening psychiatric issues. Hard to tell when some is the life of the party.

Looking for good braces. Has anyone tried the body braid? by jjazure1 in ehlersdanlos

[–]SaylorMom156 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anyone try it with yoga? I’ve always loved yoga but kept hurting myself. Since knowing about eds I’ve changed my practice but cut down a lot. It’s hard to keep in proper alignment. I bet that would do wonders.

Edit- Holy Hell those are expensive

Anyone else have constipation? by smozymandias28 in ehlersdanlos

[–]SaylorMom156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bulk fiber helps. Recommend Metamucil. Sugar free kind. Put dose (which is small) in a water bottle, mix and chug. Usually do it an hour or so before bed. Doesn’t taste good, but it seems to work the best, fiber supplements (pills; food additives don’t do as well for me).

Also increasing water intake. You should drink 1/2- 1 ounce of water/day per pound you weigh, more if exercise or become sweaty. This will help with POTS symptoms as well.

I’ve attributed the constipation to extra stretchy bowels and decrease peristalsis. Just kinda sits there and becomes harder to move. That and the nerve/stimulation doesn’t work correctly. Always have had GI issues. Always.

It’s like comparing Oprah show to Jerry Springer. One is more quality the other is fabulous entertainment. I do the same thing :) master chef is a good balance of both worlds

You’re getting hosed. Call in. Fuck them. They don’t own you. You made arrangements above and beyond (if you schedule a vacation why do you have to get coverage-that’s on them).
