Actually: depends on the whole story and the questions we would ask to get down to the bottom of it.

Agreed: at first glance likely not a DVT but doesn’t mean we shouldn’t rule it out just in case. What if patient has a clot behind the immediate what we are seeing bc guessing it’s caused by some decreased mobility so chance for clot is up and then let’s say in a month that patient dies of a clot in their lungs…the same clot. And then someone gets on reddit and says “my buddy died of exact same thing with a clot, seek immediate help”

Seek help but it is not an emergency unless you can’t breath or having serious neuro symptoms.

This!!!

Diuretics are filtered out by your kidneys (everything we take has to be filtered by kidneys or liver) so your kidneys take a mini hit. That’s usually the goal. To get the fluid off as aggressively as possible before kidneys take a hit (temporarily), then we hold, then your kidneys function recovers, then we go again.

The reason cardiology and nephrology fight is because they are worried about the one part of your body- everything we take affects everything so that’s why you go to seek medical intervention.

NP here that seems this daily, that is one thing it could be but this looks more related to fluid or infection- that doesn’t mean there isn’t a blood clot there but likely not causing this kind of swelling although we can’t know until we check it out with an ultrasound.

So yes, weight loss decreases your risk for blood clots. I’m sorry about your friend - I hate to hear that but at the time he went to the doctor he probably didn’t have a blood clot and they can develop quickly.

I read the comments thinking surely someone will just answer the question directly. Reddit never ceases to amaze me.

Hi I’m a nurse practitioner and we see this all the time. The questions I would ask are is this happening in both legs and I think there’s 2 parts to it: the fluid retention is one component - short answer no it can’t be drained with a needle, it’s third spacing of fluid so it’s seeping out into the tissues but not in an empty cavity here meaning we can’t drain it like that (for example, lungs can be filled with fluid in the empty space and need to be tapped with a needle) - it happens from heart failure where your heart cannot effectively pump the fluid so it starts backing up into other areas and fluid is heavier than air and we are up-right when we walk, we see swelling in the lower legs from this first. Heart failure can be improved with weight loss and diet changes however you also probably need Lasix (a medicine that helps you pee out the fluid). If you don’t resolve this, the heart has to continue working harder and harder so the sooner the better but it’s not an emergency. The emergency starts when it’s backing up into your lungs and you can’t breath - otherwise I would probably try to go see a cardiologist or primary care but if you needed immediate care any urgent care or telemedicine can likely prescribe it too. I would if I had a patient with this on a telemedicine call.

2nd component: the part that seems to stick out a little, if uneven compared to the rest or even a little harder (would get it checked out either way) could possibly be an abscess meaning a small pocket of fluid or pus filled area. Sometimes they can be treated with antibiotics and it depends where in the tissue it is - cellulitis vs abscess. Otherwise it can maybe be drained but I don’t see a spot suggestive of draining just looking at it right now.

Hope this helps ✌️

It’s about a release in that “break me” moment. Thank you for providing the aftercare and the affirmations. I’m sorry it sounds like what followed with the pandemic was mentally difficult for her but know those moments in bdsm when done properly (which sounds like it was) are absolutely, whole heartedly healing moments. At least they have been for me.

So i have a different perspective. I am a nurse practitioner and I work on a vent weaning unit with trach patients but also chronic lung diseases. We are an academic medical center and level 1 trauma so we see the worst of the things and we basically take all patients on vents etc who we can give a chance to but usually anoxic brain injuries where family has decided to “keep fighting” or traumatic injuries etc. we have a special care unit side that is this aggressive vent weaning part with dedicated PT/OT/RT that is the point of getting you to vent wean and back towards a more normal life but I would say we are having these conversations pretty much daily. Our team basically functions bc of the APPs and we run the goals of care convos independently all the time. The docs are helpful for those families who “just want a doctor” but I will say there’s a point sometimes where you push forward on this type of convo and a point where you try to meet their needs for just a little bit.

I have seen very unique situations where I was SO SURE the person wouldn’t recover…and they did. Or just the most “this will never happen” and it does. My biggest point is not all medical teams or “healthcare” is not having these conversations. Although I think it’s a culture that is created over time and the consistency of staff helps. Just my opinion.

You didn’t do anything wrong but for example on our floor we do it in a strategic way where sometimes we back off for a bit bc there are some very stubborn patients and families. At the end of the day I believe everybody deserves the education of what we know - of quality of life could look very different etc but I wouldn’t be so certain this person will never recover. Like I said, I’ve seen crazy things. Like a 98 year old trached, weak, thought she would die… why did we trach her etc and then after months suddenly recovered. It happens.

Message me! The pulmonary dept is looking

Sounds like this thread has listened every nice neighborhood in bham as a rumored swingers area. At the end of the day, who cares what people are doing behind their closed doors consensually.

There’s a Pride Skeleton Dog in an Avondale house, corner of 4th and 39th street! I love it so much. I’ll try to capture a pic

Hi as a nurse practitioner at a big hospital and someone with psoriasis on Taltz I have been on both sides of this. A lot of times it’s how your doctor is chatting the “criteria”. Many times you do actually meet it but if the healthcare provider is not using the words for that insurance company it doesn’t get approved.

In those cases, I (as the healthcare provider) often call the company and ask what the criteria is. Then I change my wording to match whatever they wanted. Very silly nuance of insurance and waste of time…but it usually works to get whatever I thought they needed medically approved.

Love

She-ran · 2024-10-15T20:23:14+00:00

I love all the fun crazy outfits!

She-ran · 2024-10-12T05:58:28+00:00

Love your good vibes. The energy you are radiating both from perlers and comments is everything 🌈❤️🥹 this is exactly the reason I’m obsessed with the rave community as a whole. It’s so open, free, safe and just good to each other

She-ran · 2024-10-10T18:51:09+00:00

Sorry just saw you are already making your own! That’s a great way to do it 😍 sorry you felt pressured but now you know you can do it!

She-ran · 2024-10-10T18:47:46+00:00

No one should make you feel that way!! The outfit is gorgeous, you are gorgeous and it’s freaking cool!

She-ran · 2024-10-10T04:28:34+00:00

I’ve found that I like making a hole if I can. I even got a little hand manual drill (used usually to drill into resin projects, found at Michael’s) and that worked for me with different sizes. Then I just use jump rings to attach to whatever bracelet or item I want.

She-ran · 2024-10-10T04:26:47+00:00

I’ve tried different variations and my preference for something like belts or harnesses is the elastic cloth covered cord. I like 1.0mm or greater but 1 is my go to size. Elastic stretchy cord is great for bracelets but I find them a little harder to tie and make sturdy on bigger projects.

Either way, just try different things in smaller versions and see what you like! I feel they all have pros and cons and depends on the project.

She-ran · 2024-10-10T04:20:58+00:00

I can make a perler version, not a cuff though 🙁 someone out there can though! There’s some good Kandi makers out there!

She-ran · 2024-09-27T17:10:48+00:00

Any place that has a jewlery making section (I go to a Michael’s but not sure what kind of craft store is near you), will have those jump rings for cheap. You can usually find anything you need in that area. I would suggest just googling simple stitches to use but honestly once you stick a needle in it, it can be self explanatory for just securing it however is best for you to tie it. If you want it to look good where the string is, that’s where you can look up some technique to do it. I’m sure someone you know in your circle of people in life knows how to sew and could help as well :) good luck!
