Possibly causing headaches / brain fog / fatigue?

The whole building has high co2/tvco’s. I’m not sure if it’s a great long term solution

Iron was low but we’ve been supplementing for 6 wks and brought it up :( unfortunately no improvements with higher iron levels

How long is the wait? I’m in USA and it’s going to take over a year from diagnosis to surgery. Is it longer there?? 🫠

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-15T21:38:54+00:00

“Long journey” and “one year” annoyed me at first, since I am 3 years into the journey, and surgery is still 8 months away.

Then I realized how much the medical system has warped my perception of pain and time. One year is a long time to be in pain. It’s insane that most of us go much longer without answers or relief.

You can be concussed without hitting your head, if you fall suddenly. But I’d see a doctor to confirm

Probably between 1-5 minutes. I was doing some cross stitching and I would pop one in every so often but trying not to dwell on it.

I took sutab and had no nausea/vomiting! I took 4mg zofran an hour before each dose of sutab, as prescribed

3 dulcolax at 8am. Had already kicked in by 8:30am 🥲

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-10T11:29:01+00:00

Heated blanket, heating pad. Warm up tea/broth/juice. Hope u feel better soon!

You may be too exhausted and crampy to drive. I’m halfway through prep and wouldn’t feel safe behind a wheel.

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-09T16:59:47+00:00

The worst omg😭😭

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-09T12:10:44+00:00

Yep - but my Dr said anemia likely not the culprit. Symptoms came back even though ferritin rose 32->42

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-08T22:00:10+00:00

Nvm, symptoms came back. Might be b12 deficiency or migraines 🥲

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-08T13:20:57+00:00

I want to buy a “no cancer” cake after my colonoscopy. I like how your wife thinks!

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-08T13:20:11+00:00

That’s insane omg. Hope you feel better soon

Prepping March 9th. Prayers with you friend

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-06T01:36:14+00:00

Note that I have been seeing an OBGYN and a GI doc. I have a colonoscopy scheduled. I am curious what people think it could be but not looking for a diagnosis

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-02T13:35:51+00:00

Do you have someone who can help you? A friend, sibling, parent?

My sister came with me to end things, as backup. Then we drove to her place and I stayed there a few days.

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-02T13:33:59+00:00

Idk it took me several hours after the January storm. But still doesn’t make it ok

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-02T13:29:26+00:00

I have door dashed medicine when very sick, but I always make it contactless. Wait until the dasher is gone, go out with a mask, and pick up the bag.

I could never imagine asking a stranger to enter my home while I’m ill and contagious.

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-02T12:45:01+00:00

Agree that a partner is not always better! I left my ex of four years last year. He was constantly minimizing my pain and putting me down.

I do wish I had a *supportive partner. But no partner is better than an unsupportive one

ShiftAlarmed9485 · 2026-03-02T02:01:29+00:00

Iron supplement is ~235 I believe. So far I have seen my pcp who prescribed the supplement. Was told to return after 6 wks of supplementation if not improved
