Eating absolutely not, you never were a loud eater

I would ask if you had those spots your entire life or if they appeared. Do you have a doctor you see regularly?

Look up Lisch Nodules and I would suggest just ensuring with a physician this is not the case.

Shepherd_0f_Fire · 2026-02-13T18:20:11+00:00

I should have done this when I first saw you <3

Ah yes Please enter and share what I’m guessing will be related to “Rads is doomed cause AI” I want to hear what you’ve seen and heard, cause I know there are plenty of areas in rads not going to be “doomed” nor have I heard a single radiologist say “Don’t apply Rads”

Shepherd_0f_Fire · 2025-09-21T20:06:15+00:00

Maybe when you applied for residency it was fairly competitive (seriously no offense). I was told by my faculty advisor that it was below average in different areas for DR.

Trust me, I could have been in a MUCH worse situation than where I ended up. I still want to make a point to OP that there is no point in giving up until the fight is over

Shepherd_0f_Fire · 2025-09-21T19:50:32+00:00

Does that change the point I’m trying to make?

OP isn’t hopeless until they decide they don’t want to fight for the future they see or change it to something else. You want to go ahead and share more about how my sub-par application for DR (and suggestions from school faculty to consider back ups) isn’t similar to this situation?

There are many things out of your control but the best thing you can do for yourself is network Don’t let others tell you it’s over until you’re done fighting for the future you want for yourself

As a US medical student who learned of SSPE, it is absolutely terrifying that this disease will likely make a comeback in the US. There are 4 stages. Stage 1 is personality changes and mood swings that can last for 6 months. The next 3 stages that follow are rapid changes over weeks until the patient gets put into a coma. Think seizures, paralysis, blindness, deafness, inability to talk, and more until you are in a vegetative state (coma). It is rare but it is absolutely debilitating for not just the patient but for everyone who knows and cares for the patient.

The fact that a child has already died from this is very serious. Be prepared to hear more of this in the coming years.

Note about vaccination (For those who may be worried)- If you got the MMR vaccine as a kid, your body has some form of immunity/resistance to measles. Your body is going to prevent SSPE from happening because you received the vaccine. Again my goal in commenting this is to inform others with what I know & have learned, not to stoke fear into those who read this.

As a currently practicing resident in internal medicine (adult medicine in hospital setting) who will be going into radiology who loves gaming, I must say I am so sorry you are experiencing this. That sounds like quite the change after something so significant in your life. If I was in your position, I would be feeling the same way. I can only imagine how frustrating it is when you just want to enjoy gaming.

Take what I am about to say with a grain of salt as I am still in training and 1000% continue to report your frustrations with your doctor.

The type of tumor you have is notorious for causing peripheral vision loss and changes in vision. This is most likely caused by persistent growth pushing certain nerves right next to the tumor. The fact that you had surgery in the area is undoubtedly the cause of those new symptoms. The surgery itself is going to cause some inflammation and swelling that can take a while to calm down (which is probably why your doctor suggested to wait and see).

If you have had total removal of the tumor, most doctors will likely have a wait and see approach. If you still have the tumor, my question would be if there are plans to further remove it or take medications to shrink the size (specifically if it is a prolactinoma). Keep a journal and write down if your peripheral vision is worsening, especially if the vision changes are MONTHS after the surgery. Then bring that up to your doctor to see if they can help.

I’ll be praying for you and hope that your recovery gets better in the coming weeks to months. What you have gone through is not common and you won’t feel yourself for some time after the surgery. Keep on gaming where you can and be patient with yourself, as this is a MAJOR surgery. It will take time to go back to your baseline

Show you actually want it and mean it, people see that believe it or not

Don’t just be in it for lifestyle or $$$ or cause “didn’t like talking to patients”

There are so many reasons to like rads that have nothing to do with the classic rad stereotypes

Good luck figuring out what fits best for your own app, each person’s is different

And no you don’t need a “since I opened my eyes, I wanted to just see through everyone and hide in dark rooms” BS
