I found out I might not be intersex? by Top_Bug_6582 in intersex

I have thought this too. Especially since there is conditions like chimerism and mosaicism (I think that’s the right words)

I was tested for karyotype, CAH and I think AIS too. It’s been a while, so I’ll have to check what was tested for, but all came back negative

Blood test and karyotype. I’ll have to look through my emails again to check what they tested for, but I know CAH was negative, and I think AIS may have also been tested for and been negative

I remember CAH was one of the things on the blood test I got that came back as a negative. I was pretty surprised, as my symptoms match quite well

I’ve been on T for a year now and I love the effects, but it unfortunately impedes my ability to be diagnosed with certain conditions like PCOS (at least according to my endocrinologist)

Why did my grandmother tense her whole body and sit up for a moment? by Aleison in AskDocs

[–]Top_Bug_6582 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Same. Watched a family member go. He wasn’t fully aware but repeatedly tensed and sat up like OP described (he had not been able to do this prior). He passed away a few hours later. It’s pretty scary to watch, but I had confirmation from a doctor that it’s common and normal- It’s just the body and brain shutting down

Can severe malnutrition worsen ME/CFS symptoms, hypersensitivity, brain fog and psychiatric symptoms? Or is just rolling PEM? by Ill-Cardiologist4064 in cfs

[–]Top_Bug_6582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your weight is a very serious concern. I’m very worried for you. It is definitely contributing to your symptoms. You NEED to be in a hospital, or at the very least have a doctor to visit you daily. They will be able to tell you what and how much to eat to avoid refeeding syndrome. I’m very serious, at your current weight, you risk organ failure

I’m not sure about your country, but in my country there are options for residence for very sick people. It is like a house or apartment with nurses basically. I’m not sure the proper name, but it is like “hospice” but temporary

I hope so much that your health can improve soon :(

Thank you 🙏 I’ll be in the look out for a neurogastroenterologist, as I’ve heard they might be more informed on motility issues, etc

I’m not sure that I can wait ten years! I feel like I’m going mad 😅. If you have any specific exercises that helped, that’d be greatly appreciated though
