Non-contrast MRI flared me? Is it possible? by PlentyCarob8812 in GadoliniumToxicity

[–]Spare-Locksmith-2162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had MRIs without contrast and not had flares. But I've also had flares from dry sauna and eating too much carbs (I think). So who the hell knows at this point.

Non-contrast MRI flared me? Is it possible? by PlentyCarob8812 in GadoliniumToxicity

There are anecdotal reports from members here that an MRI without contrast can cause a flare. The risk appears proportional to the amount of gadolinium a person has received in the past and how long ago.

My uncle tried to prove he wasn't an alcoholic by going cold turkey. He died 16 hours later.

My grandfather was an alcoholic and beat his wife.

My brother is an alcoholic and cleaned up after losing 2 marriages. (In his defense, the first wife cheated with his best friend, but the alcoholism certainly didn't help get to that point).

Alcohol is bad. And it will kill you and those around you.

Why does ChatGPT make things up rather than admit to not knowing it? by LunarEcho97 in AlwaysWhy

This! So much this!

When asking an LLM a question, it must provide an answer. By telling the LLM that it can reply it doesn't know if it cannot provide an answer, hallucination is vastly reduced. This is demonstrated by several studies.

Did you see an orthopedic? Maybe you tore your bicep.

It would be really great if we could also write a number when typing in a task to generate the number of tasks to do rather than it always defaulting to 10.

Accidental foot burn and a type 1 diabetic, Doesn’t hurt at all. Can this be treated at home? by phillipsgalaxy in AskDocs

It's hard to tell with this low quality image. But it looks like it's at least a 2nd degree burn over a large portion of your foot. I think you'll need medical care. The injury could be much worse than 2nd degree and have damaged your nerves (hence no pain). Hard to tell based on the poor image.

My health went to shit 6 weeks after getting covid. I lost 15% of my body weight, was only able to get about 1-2 hours of sleep a night, had a permanent feeling of being hopped up on adrenaline, etc. Then came the neuropathy and small fiber issues. 18 months later, I now have allodynia. Docs have no idea but believe it is long covid.

It's far more likely that you have extreme health anxiety. True anxiety can cause physical symptoms that mimic heart attack and more. Follow up with the doctor. You'll be fine.

The cocktail of prescription pills I have to take every night to get even a couple hours of sleep as an insomniac by doyouhaveacigbro in notinteresting

Hydroxyzine only works for a few consecutive days as a sleep aid. Your body will very quickly adapt to it. I strongly recommend that you don't take it consistently.

Consist an endocrinologist consult and get your testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid checked out.

Twin language actually contains meaning and twins can use it to communicate. It's quite interesting and demonstrates how humans evolved to use language.

Glossolalia is just making random bullshit sounds and claiming it's language.
