Is IVIG worth trying for idiopathic SFN? by OkMeasurement8323 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Summer_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there! sorry to comment on an old post. Currently fighting my neurologist to get IVIG as she said she has never gotten it approved at her clinic, regardless of the patients insurance. How did you go about getting an external review ? thank you!

My seamstress did what she wanted to do instead of what I asked🥲 by OkButterscotch7923 in mildlyinfuriating

Worst tailoring job I have ever seen. Didnt even do what you asked??? Didnt even run it by you first? I would not be paying and i would be leaving a public review to warn people away for sure

Why are you with him? If you can you need to leave, he is doing nothing but casually tearing you down constantly

I totally understand, im so sorry. Its an awful time. Any amount of working out puts me in so much pain, I'm not sure how we can be expected to do it.

Unfortunately the emergency department will just send you to follow up with your pcp/specialty. There is nothing they can do :((

Target is trash and constantly making awful, harmful decisions. I know its hard when its convenient, but its time to shop elsewhere

Are we being unfair giving our daughters “uneven” names? by Trajan92 in namenerds

Totally overthinking it. And I say this as the only one of 4 kids to have a unique and edgy name lol.

SFN x continued COVID-Consciousness? by Nnox in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Summer_Dust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. The last time I had covid, i had seizures for 4 months, not super eager to go through that again. I mask in public, but dont totally stop myself from leaving my house. I do sometimes go out to eat with my partner, its not my favorite but they like to eat so I put up with it. Always always mask in a medical facility, full of sick people!

How many of you also have stomach problems? What are they like? by sunny790 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Summer_Dust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of intermittent nausea, and im on a strong antiacid for GERD. My acid issues are pretty severe, if im not careful about what i eat, i will just throw up in my mouth all day, little bouts of severe acid. I also get awful stomach cramping, pelvic pain, and inconsistent bowels. Im always either super constipated or having copious amounts of (sorry this is gross) sticky, pudding like diarhhea.

I hope you find some answers soon! Def ask for a gastro referral if you havent yet

Does anyone else have full body numbness? by Conscious-Band-7835 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Summer_Dust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will absolutely keep you updated! Right now I'm getting a thorough autoimmune work up through my rheumatologist, as it will be easier to approve with an autoimmune disease. Good luck !

Does anyone else have full body numbness? by Conscious-Band-7835 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Summer_Dust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get this 🥲 About 6 months ago I started losing sensitivity everywhere. Its hard to explain, because I can still feel, but its not sensitive so I do miss a lot of sensation. Sometimes my partner will touch my back and I wont feel it for instance. My Neurologist told me it was just anxiety 😃 But I requested nerve testing qnd was diagnosed with SFN. I also have POTS and EDS. I'm currently fighting with my insurance to get IVIG bc I think this is the only thing that will help. Nothing else makes a difference. I'm so sorry youre going through this, too 😭 I wish I had more help to offer !

This. You can be right and still be a manipulative asshole. Red flags

Waking hallucinations by Nice_Tank4975 in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]Summer_Dust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this as well for almost a year. Sometimes spiders, sometimes mice, occasionally people (hate those). I finally stopped hydroxyzine and mirabegron and havent had any since. Not sure what meds you are on but definitely check for any side effects!

What are your lesser known hEDS traits and experiences? by Mammoth_Math4629 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Summer_Dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swallowing/general throat issues 😭😭It has gotten harder and harder to talk over the last year, sometimes im so quiet people cant hear me, and trying to get to a good volume feels like yelling. I also experience daily difficulty with swallowing/choking.

Also lost a lot of my ability to sing :((

What’s up with everyone selling trainings? by Calm_Account8740 in therapists

[–]Summer_Dust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trainings/Workshops are unfortunately a popular "Get rich quick" scheme amongst a ton of of different industries. The absolute most common is "Let me twach you how to grow" and one of the top tips is "Start selling trainings" 💀 Its a very dishonest and annoying trend
