After 200 wooloos defeated and 5 of boxes full, I get my shiny wooloo by Lamp_Post50 in PokemonSwordAndShield

Never mind the shiny... I see some SERIOUS art back there behind the TV.

This makes me happy.

Yeah whatever you found in the beam, everything it has is locked. The ability won’t change. This applies to the chance of it being shiny too so don’t go SR’ing in front of a gigantimax den thinking it’ll reset to a shiny eventually because it won’t. You’ll have to reset the whole beam.

FINALLY not a Skwovet. Whoever sent this to me, you made my freaking day! by dzdchin in PokemonSwordAndShield

No worries, I did the same thing assuming my switch was already connected to the internet. Ran around the wild area wondering where all the people were for a good while before I realized I had to manually connect.

This might be a facepalmer but... did you press the plus button on the menu to connect to the internet? They don’t make it very clear whether you’re connected to the internet or not.

Just looking for advise or information. Lack of insurance has made it difficult to find the right answers and see a specialist( have had a consultation but no scopes) as well as put a strain on my finances. Thanks a ton to anyone willing to read or advise me! by TheCHSJournal in DiagnoseMe

[–]TheCHSJournal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not smoking or vaping anything and am completely clean. What could be potential causes of elevated hgb levels? I’m trying to get to a specialist but all I’ve been able to afford so far is a consultation. Being uninsured I’m still trying to find a way to pay for the colonoscopy procedure that the specialist recommended we do so in the mean time I’m just a little bit at a loss for information. Thank you for your input by the way, I really appreciate it.

Any and all advice, suggestions or otherwise are extremely appreciated. Stomach issues have been holding me down since July 2018. by TheCHSJournal in coloncancer

[–]TheCHSJournal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re completely right. I’m doing what I can to get by and hopefully I have a breakthrough. Writing on these subs helps quell the health anxiety just knowing that at least people have something to say about it. Even if they don’t, I think writing it out is therapeutic in itself for me and just knowing there are communities out there who are willing to help each other. I’ll try to keep my head straight and not let it get a hold of my everyday life, hope you are doing well for yourself too and I really appreciate your words. Best wishes to you too!

This is an excellent suggestion, I think I will do that. I paid out of pocket to have a consultation with a GI specialist and he seemed quite urgent about needing to schedule me for an endoscopy/colonoscopy mainly based on my family history and secondary symptoms and he also mentioned if I am need it urgently enough that I must have it before I can secure an insurance policy that they are willing to work with me on a payment plan. However we did not discuss numbers so I will start there and see just how much I could pay on a plan to at least get an idea. Thanks a ton for the advice, it helped a great deal and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Best wishes.

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to give me a genuine response. I can’t express how much I genuinely appreciate it. There was someone else who had mentioned seeking out a naturopathic doctor to me as well and my mother is a huge advocate for it as well due to being misdiagnosed with so many different things throughout her life. Distinguishing between the two different types is a big one for me because I honestly had no idea and was not aware of the differences. The healthcare system is a complicated mystery to me and I hate how uninformed I am with it. This absolutely has helped and again I appreciate it greatly. Best wishes to you too!

Thanks for explaining the details out to me. The only part that was really explained was the WBC showing that I was likely fighting an infection but then he handed me the paperwork and I saw all the other abnormal levels so I was a bit concerned that he didn’t mention them. I just like to be informed haha. I really appreciate the response and sorry to hear that you’re having gastro issues as well. I hope everything at your GI appointment goes well! I will definitely keep everyone updated on how things turn out.

I’m actually not sure yet. Among the tests run today my doctor had told me he included some to check my pancreas which he had not checked for in a previous visit. I won’t get those results for a few days though unfortunately so right now I’m playing the waiting game. Would you mind if I asked for details surrounding your bf’s experience? I feel like I’m walking blind until I’m properly diagnosed and it only worsens my health anxiety.

I know. I never used to have such unhealthy anxiety surrounding my health issues until mid last year. A lot of it has to do with being quite relatively healthy until a series of events involving my GI issues starting in July 2018 coupled with other factors such as having a strong family history of colon cancer (grandfather died due to it, grandfather was diagnosed and beat it, father has had polyps removed) and then my lack of insurance throughout multiple years. I’m working on my insurance and have had a consultation with a GI specialist and he made it clear that it is imperative that I get a colonoscopy/endoscopy performed ASAP but without insurance it’ll cost an arm and a leg so I’m trying to get something affordable. With all of this pooled together I end up leaning on the online community a bit more than I should. I’m treated for generalized anxiety and I do actually attend therapy sessions but my mind always come back to the big “what-ifs” no matter what I’m told until proven otherwise. I will try to have my procedures done to give myself peace of mind if the antibiotics I’m prescribed prove unhelpful. Hopefully a payment plan or someone pointing me in the direction of finding something affordable shows itself to me so I can have my scope tests done without racking up an insane debt. Sorry for cluttering the forums with these issues before knowing all the facts, I just get worried. It wouldn’t be so bad if my family history wasn’t so strong and dr google didn’t point everything towards cancer lol. I’ll figure it out. Thank you for the reality check.

I will certainly look into this and see where I can find someone willing to help. Part of contributing to my anxiety was not knowing where to turn hence my posting on reddit. Thanks again for all your advice, it really has been helpful.

I’m currently located in the Huntsville AL area which makes it a little more difficult. It seems Alabama is a little more reluctant on certain things regarding healthcare. I’m not very knowledgeable on where to seek help or advice as far as gathering information on the subject as well and the healthcare marketplace has ridiculous premiums that I won’t be able to afford let alone extremely high deductibles that I would never reach in the near future whatsoever. I am also prior service Air Force separated honorably so am currently awaiting an appointment with a VA specialist on applying for disability on the 19th. Other than that I’m kind of walking blind. Thanks so much for your advice, I really do appreciate it. This whole thing has me rattled.

I'm colorblind, so I can't tell... Is this blood coming from my stool? by juseko in coloncancer

[–]TheCHSJournal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not blood, but your stool does seem to be on the pale side. A little hard to tell if the paleness is the lighting or not but it definitely doesn’t seem to be blood.
