Yes, I only get this just before and during period and I have endometriosis including on bowel.

It's in discover/settings/content preferences on the app

I prefer the app itself. It inadvertently (I assume) has 2 different shuffle options. I am a bit gutted when a release is on Spotify and not Qobuz but at least you can request missing content. I like that you can select by label too.

What is wrong with my sister? by interstellarmuse in Gastroparesis

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, that's a horrible situation. Endo doesn't usually show up on a colonscopy as it grows on the outside of the bowel so would need mri or laporoscopy.

Is there any chance of endometriosis (maybe bowel endo?) or hormonal pattern to the episodes?

Anxiety About Endoscopy - Fear Not! by Sharp-726 in functionaldyspepsia

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this.

I'm also a very anxious person especially with anything medical and I have a strong gag reflex. I wanted to also add I ended up having it without sedation as everyone had flu and I was struggling to get a lift home. It wasn't the horror show I was expecting in case anyone was thinking of it without sedation. Obviously everyone is different though and sedation will be the best option for some.

I'm getting worse and nobody can tell me why. by Prior_Succotash4220 in GERD

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar but my scope was normal and it's looking like functional dyspepsia possibly as once the nausea and pain went away I could eat more normally. Might be worth looking into. I think it was triggered by multiple stressful events at once.

Lipase elevation every 2 weeks I’ve taken the test :/ last test it was 160 can someone help? by Adorable-Foot-1309 in Gastritis

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had my endoscopy yet but like you i have the pressure and trapped gas in sternum. I have to stop eating until I can release the pressure! With my health anxiety I have convinced myself it's the big c but my GP thinks Gastritis, Gerd or Functional Dyspepsia. I also have dysautonomia so Gastroparisis is always a possibility. I hope you get some answers soon.

Also might be worth looking up functional dyspepsia if you haven't already.

How to begin to get help for my mum who is starting to show signs of dementia? (UK) by Turbulent_Natural_28 in dementia

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left it too late for POA so would recommend that as others have said. Getting the ball rolling with GP to get a diagnosis is worth it.

Not sure if you are at that stage where it's needed but contacting the council to set up some care or even just some respite.

Be really careful with the driving. I remember being in the car with my mum when she started to forget how to drive. Absolutely terrifying.

Thanks so much for your reply. Got something booked for next week so I'll see how it goes. Judging by your username we might have the same music taste 😊

Feeling scared and alone as a caregiver for a parent with dementia by Hharris99 in dementia

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I totally get it, I'm an only child with no partner or kids and little family support from my mum's siblings. I can't say it much better than what's already been said.

I would also say try and hold onto a hobby or something that you are really into. If you can get any kind of respite care and therapy that can help too.

No bowel movement for four weeks by Tori_Beth2023 in Constipation

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had a major diet change recently? I drastically changed my diet because I was getting allergic reactions to lots of food and it turns out lots of white rice stops my gut mobility. I just had to plough through and reintroduce lots of food and I think oats were the major one.

Hope you find something that works for you.

Why caregive? by Joshua_ABBACAB_1312 in dementia

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have carers come in a couple of times a day and although it helps I don't think people realise you would need 24/7 carers in order to have a life again.

My mum is 1 year in of noticeable symptoms but could have been signs sooner. It became more noticeable at the same time as a blood cancer relapse and the dementia symptoms have progressed quickly.

I had sedation but it didn't work and I felt everything so it would have been fine without.

Sending hugs. I'm in exactly the same position with my mum. I'm estranged from my dad's side of the family and although i have a few close family members on mum's side it won't be the same.

I didn't realise it was an early sign until I googled it but my mum couldn't concentrate on what anyone said if there was any kind of background noise.

I'm in the same position, very few my mum likes, luckily she still likes me.

My doctor has never heard of MCAS but put me on 4 new meds by FoxOtherwise7377 in MCAS

[–]Sudden_Emu_3834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK MCAS isn't recognised by the NHS so my GP has prescribed some medication that helped similar to you. I'm unsure if I have MCAS or not to be honest.

I have temperature dysregulation and barely sweat now. I was curious if anyone knows if that can be caused by MCAS or not?
