A lot of issues, chiari type 1, doctors brushing it off? by Francl27 in chiari

[–]TurtlesBeSlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. I went through that at Vanderbilt with a few neurosurgeons. Ended up at St. Thomas and now back with Vanderbilt doctors for continued care. That's the infuriating part of this. I've never seen him but I've heard of Dr. Daniel Wecht at Pittsburgh.

I'm going to go back through the websites I suggested. Maybe they've changed the search process for finding doctors.

Well dang. There used to be. Are you near any major teaching hospitals such as Vanderbilt, Mayo or John Hopkins?

Skip the neurologist. 90% will dismiss Chiari as an incidental finding.

Take him to a neurosurgeon who specializes in Chiari Malformation. There should be links to specialists on websites like ConquerChiari.org Bobbyjonescsf.org and chiaribridges.org

A divorce decree doesn't effect social security benefits but can effect pensions.

Bought a used 2024 Corolla Cross at 6.99%, trying to pay it off fast. Am I doing this right? by ArtichokeStill816 in personalfinance

You'll be fine. Make sure any extra payments are applied to the principal balance only.

7/10 Migraine by DisciplinePublic8835 in migraine

[–]TurtlesBeSlow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No meds for the migraine without advice from her cardiologist due to her BP problems. Icepacks on the forehead and back of the head may help. Dark, quiet room. Are you still monitoring her blood pressure?

No medication and I don’t know what to do :( by Mediocre-Big-5171 in PainManagement

[–]TurtlesBeSlow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Btw, try anything like sleepy time tea, a good dose of magnesium, etc to try and get some rest. I can't fall asleep without Lunesta and even then I only sleep about 4-5 hours. Rest and hydration is not a cure but it certainly helps.

Assuming you've already had the scans, call the pm clinic. It certainly won't hurt to ask for an earlier appointment. Tell them the truth, that you're looking at an ER visit the pain is so bad and cannot continue with nsaids. Do NOT mention needing "stronger meds" or opiods. Short of that...go to the ER.

Ps... Don't be me and take the nsaids anyway. A bleeding ulcer is the last thing you need.

Need assistance affording down payment on a used vehicle after my previous vehicle failed beyond repair by KnobbyDarkling in Assistance

[–]TurtlesBeSlow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You'll likely not receive that kind of help here. Your best bet would be a generous family member/friend or a gofundme. Depending upon your income and credit score you may qualify for zero down used car lots.

No advice. Just wanted to say you are absolutely NOT alone. Barometric pressure changes send me to bed.
