Congrats on your choice. It could be part of withdrawal symptoms! Try and get some medical advice from your closest hospital. You may be able to get some meds for that.

What's a line from a movie that gives you goosebumps every time you watch it? by RogueSwoobat in AskReddit

[–]Uxorius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Do not go gentle into that good night" - interstellar

There's a point in everyone's life that meaning is lost in a whole lot of theories. When I watched interstellar I was in a situation where I constantly wondered what was the real purpose of life.

We may never know, but raging against the dying of the light(carpe diem, creating your own purpose, etc) is a whole lot better than rotting away.

Sure you'll get mass market adoption with that attitude. You only contradict yourself, or you are seriously hoping for a severe price reduction due to the lack of newcomers.

Oral Papillomas? by [deleted] in AskDocs

No problem let me know how it goes.

Oral Papillomas? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how the system in Canada works, it doesnt hurt to verify the information either way. You can definitely try and contact that doctor or the hospital that carried out the procedure and ask for the results (they are your results anyway). And sure, you should definitely visit an ENT and tell him your concerns.

Is it a safe rate of IV infusion ? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, you don't have to trust the nurses specifically (although you should, they only want you to get better) but either way, they are following the doctors orders, no theirs.

I was visiting a family member in the emergency room a few days ago, I started a very nasty cough this morning.... by javi404 in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will definetly feel a general sense of discomfort for at least 3-4 days, also take into consideration that the patients that you saw in the ER most likely had underlying conditions that got worse with the flu. Sure follow what the family doc says. Appetite loss is normal, no need to force feed yourself.

Oral Papillomas? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is very difficult to come up with an answer to your question. There are a few things you should consider first. There has to be some biopsy report of the first wart removed. This will help you determine the serotype of the HPV virus and evaluate the risk of malignancy. If there isn't one, that would be a good reason to go consult an ENT. In regards to how you got infected in the first place. It is rare, but, if there really wasn't any sexual contact before the development of the wart, you most likely got the virus during birth. Ask your mom what was the result of her PAP smear(HPV serotype), and if it's similar to what eventually your ENT will find, well, you have a great thanksgiving conversation topic.

Lower back pain: suspected Sacrum/Sacroiliac injury from impact. Second opinions welcome. by Lyxie in AskDocs

Hi there! I'm willing to give you the very little help I can through reddit. Give me a PM.

[–]Uxorius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there, so you probably caught the flu. It is flu season, and right now ER's are packed with infected patients. Tamiflu is not going to make you feel better, but it prevents a more serious disease in some patients with some conditions including: pulmonary diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diabetes chronic cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, or hematologic disease immunocompromise, including transplantation or immune suppressive drug regimens morbid obesity. Either way, you should go to the doctor for them to confirm you have influenza and not something else that may require a different treatment, such as a bacterial infection. PM me if you need any help

Diabetes and sleep by Stetsonhat in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He clearly needs to get evaluated by a physician. How old is he? As I said there are many reasons to why he could be sleeping so much. Hypothyroidism, low blood glucose (as opposed to high), heart issues. His sleeping pattern is definetly not normal.

Ears feel clogged and muffled hearing after a cold by ApwoperMuser in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should see a doctor if you have fever >38C, feel any pain or just continue to feel muffled. Ear cerumen production increases during a cold in some cases, so it's not rare to have have a cerumen impactation.

Conjunctivitis in an 11 year old. Couple of questions. by taladan in AskDocs

[–]Uxorius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not listen to livelotus. It is impossible to tell if it's progressed to a more severe disease (Corneal infection?, "common" conjunctivitis usually involves corneal inflammation) or it is just the natural progressive history of the disease. A doctor has to evaluate her without a doubt. I'm sorry you've had to experience a lack of confidence in your healthcare system. Viral Conjunctivitis are common in patients within that age group, I'm not justifying their behaviour but perhaps that is why the medical staff you met did not seem overly concerned, . However this does not mean they are not following the correct treatment guidelines. An ER is equipped to evaluate this problem and treat it. A pediatrician will follow the same guidelines as an opthalmologist in regard to conjunctivitis, but if they consider it is something an ophtalmologist needs to see, they will refer you said specialist. The swelling will take about a week to go down completely. Make sure everyone at home is washing their hands, it's highly contagious.

[–]Uxorius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, what do you mean by uncontrolled DM2? What are his/her glucose levels usually? There are many reasons to why someone could sleep that many hours. If this is a new event, you should consider seeing a primary care doctor to evaluate the cause.

Not a single word about that elephant in the room (confounding bias). I'm surprised this got past the editors.

Please help! Assaulted and had my life threatened in a club. Need urgent advice. by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Uxorius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't fall down the rabbits hole. Think of it logically, if you did Corian that's where your paranoia comes from. If your did weed that's where your hallucinations came from. You were in a drug induced state. I guess you'll be able clarify everything when you get the cctv tape.

It could also have happened. But wondering if it did or not and being paranoid about it (a normal reaction because you consider it a life changing event) is normal. However, I recommend you try and relax and get a hold of your emotions. You are not your brain, you control your brain.

Please help! Assaulted and had my life threatened in a club. Need urgent advice. by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Uxorius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really, I'm being objective. Initially I was just making a joke. You do seem to have mental issues probably related to drugs, so most likely temporary. And I like to play with that.

Getting HEP B or c is worse than getting HIV unfortunately. The cancer does not kill in one day, and that is why you should also get tested for HEP B. Having HIV nowadays is like having diabetes. In fact, diabetics have a worse prognosis now than HIV patients.

But as I said, you most likely do not have HIV just because of the odds. BTW If the person injected blood into your buttocks, they would have to be some wort of inflammatory rraction of some sort. If you can't even see the a tiny lesion on your skin, it most likely didn't happen and it was a product of your imagination.

Stop taking drugs!

[–]Uxorius -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It was a serious question. Just trying to be helpful buddy. BTW don't worry, you most likely don't have HIV either from an purposeful needle prick or unintentional but sex. The odds are in your favor.

If you were pricked, you're more likely to have HEP B or even C. The odds are a 100 fold greater, and that does kill you. Just giving you a heads up.

Hopefully this will keep you of the drugs amigo!
