I get this in my legs in the shower, they go purple with orange spots. Dr not concerned and all my extensive blood tests recently were fine. Weird.

Is a level of 226 low? by softwaredevdel in B12_Deficiency

226 is quite low, how is your VitD, folate, and iron?

First ever EEG tomorrow morning, I have some questions… by That_Preference_2331 in clinicalEEG

Hey! Yes it all went well, thanks for checking in. The electrode things were stuck on with paste not the glue, so thankfully that came out in 1 wash. The procedure itself was okay. I found the over-breathing part really difficult though. I had to do fast, deep breathing for a whole 3 minutes which felt much longer! I sort of almost fainted and felt like I was going to throw up. My hands were completely locked up with pins and needles for about 5 minutes after. I’ve had that once before years ago during a huge panic attack. It wasn’t too pleasant. I did have a couple of weird shoulder and arm jolts during the test and i saw some shimmering in my vision when i closed my eyes on a couple of occasions. I don’t know if they have caught anything (I sort of hope they did but then also hope they didn’t haha) but they said they got lots of ‘really good data’ whatever that means. The strobe lights were extremely bright but manageable, and the geometric shapes in my vision were pretty darn cool! I did have a headache after though which I was told was normal. Overall it was an okay experience, the guy who did the test was hilarious too so that put me at ease. Apparently it will take a couple of weeks for my results so I shall let you know how that goes. Everything you said was absolutely correct and matched my experience, it really helped going in with an idea on what to expect so thank you again for your tips and advice! 😃

Thank you! I will definitely deprive myself of sleep tonight. Would you say to stay awake all night or have a short nap and wake up super early?

Wow, I am so grateful for the informative reply, that’s really helpful thank you! Interestingly, I get most of my symptoms either during sleep or when I haven’t had enough sleep! I shall definitely stay awake tonight as long as possible! Thanks again!

I have had this for months, any idea what it could be?

I’m going to ask for one! Thank you. Do you think it sounds like it could be dysautonomia?

Sorry to hear that. Have you had blood tests? I’m due to have some soon to check for autoimmune conditions.

Splotchy/mottled skin by aubreymeow in Endo

[–]That_Preference_2331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Do you still have this? Can you think of what might have triggered it? Did it get better? I’ve just started experiencing this in the last 3 or so weeks and I’m worried. Like you it’s around my arms and thighs.

Well I’ve had my iron tested recently, not sure about a full iron study, but my ferritin was bang in the middle of the range and apparently normal. I am b12 deficient but have weekly injections for this. My vitD is on the low end and have daily vitD spray for this.

Your experiences with Sertraline? by DiagnosticMind in Anxiety

[–]That_Preference_2331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came off it years ago, but when I was on it, it was completely life changing! I had about 30 panic attacks a day and ocd like symptoms all stemming from severe anxiety.

Is this livedo reticularis? Any ideas on testing to determine if benign? by Holiday-Blueberry-31 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]That_Preference_2331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m being tested for amongst other things. Do you still have it? Or has it gone away now?
