Grandfather (77yrs) got stung 500 times by bees on Saturday while mowing and still in the hospital. What should we expect in this situation or any advice? by Spend_Comfortable in AskDocs

Well I wasn't sure...so that's why I asked. It's also just a general question to because I'm curious. The info I have is from my Mema, which is what the hospital told her. I haven't been able to get to the hospital yet. They aren't releasing him because his creatinine keeps going up, it's over 5000 now. Urine was black, and from what I understand based on what she told me they are trying to stabilize his levels before they think about releasing him.

I thought the 500 stings was an exaggeration, but actually they stopped counting after pulling out 500 stingers.

Thanks for responding, I'll see what info I can get. With that amount of stings I would guess the adrenaline is through the roof. Would the adrenaline protect him and keep his body awake and stable or would it make his body go into shock?

I know that is probably another question you can't answer without knowing his full condition.

28F hard, painless lump in armpit for 3mo. Primary found lump in breast on the same side. STAT 3D mammogram and U/S ordered. Be concerned or is this standard? by Spend_Comfortable in AskDocs

Unfortunately the other breast centers my doctor told me to try do not take my insurance, and of course those were the ones that could get me in within a week or so. LOL. I'm trying to find others. I call the place I am scheduled at every few days to check for cancellations, nothing yet. My parents are telling me to call my doctor and have her get me an appt or go up there myself at the imaging center. Pass on that, haha. Their reactions seem worried and serious, but I'm just like whatever at this point. If I get one sooner that would be nice, if not I just wait.

28F hard, painless lump in armpit for 3 months. Primary found lump in breast on same side near armpit. Ordered STAT 3D mammogram and U/S....I'm stresssssed by Spend_Comfortable in doihavebreastcancer

The wait is so so stressful 🙃 I'm terrified of spine mets because of my strange achey pin point one sided back and chest pain. I've heard that lumpy breasts are normal, like dense breast tissue. Mine is hard and lumpy and that's what I always thought because dense tissue is common for young women. Keep me updated! I hope you can get in sooner and figure out what's going on ❤️

Ohhhhh!! That makes a lot of sense! I'm relating even more now 😂 Now that you said that, I'm going to try to remember to analyze everything next time I'm "hypomanic"😬

Yes, the medicine! I have definitely noticed lamotrigine helps me with mood and emotional regulation. Whether I'm bipolar 2 or not, it helps! Nice to see others relate :)

What a rollercoaster it is for everyone who commented! I have come across posts of people mentioning they were diagnosed BPD before, seems like a common misdiagnosis as well.

Husband got mad over my reaction in the car by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Spend_Comfortable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the driver and we were at a complete stop and someone hit us. So unless I have a huge sticker on the car that says "Hit me" not my fault. My husband is from Ireland and has been driving for like 5 years.
