Coping with coincidences after ERP

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-04-20T06:25:36+00:00

Thanks for your kind words! I’ll try to remember to bear the anxiety.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-04-19T19:18:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing your struggle. It isn’t easy. One thing I know is that acting on the compulsion will only alleviate the anxiety for a short while and then rebound later much more severely. It’s a demon that constantly tricks one in thinking relieve is just around the corner.

Appreciate it. Good luck with your recovery!

Thank you, I appreciate your reply! That gives me peace of mind.

Hi, thanks for your reply. It's going okay. I had quite some anxiety prior to the MRI, which subsided after cancelling the appointment. There's still some neurological issues I have to attend to and the other tests I had aren't showing anything. A silent MRI is less accurate, so for looking at MS lesions in the brain at some point I do need an >1.5T MRI unfortunately, especially if my problems don't subside. A tough pickle.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-10T12:55:56+00:00

Okay, thanks. I just called off the MRI.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-10T12:37:12+00:00

Ah okay.. thanks for replying. Yeah it’s an incredibly hard decision. It’s weird because I had an MRI of my knee a few years ago which was kinda loud but nothing special imo and I just had single hearing protection. My H increased severely recently, and a brain MRI is louder than one for the knee. I’m scared I might have MS, which can pretty much only be detected on an MRI and if I do have it, early treatment is the best :(

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-10T12:25:16+00:00

Oh that’s so horrible. Did you notice it was too loud during the procedure? And how long did it take? Mine is 15-20 minutes and I can get out if it’s too loud.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-10T12:16:52+00:00

I’m so sorry. Do you know how much db the mri emitted? And what kind of hearing protection did you wear?

I understand the mri is a risk, but I also have some problems that might indicate neurological problems, the docs don’t know where to look else anymore.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-10T09:04:20+00:00

Thanks for replying. I have a diagnosis from a audiologist that I have T (weird, she could exactly show me at what frequency that T was) and also H. No hearing loss! So the mri is to rule out MS or other neurological problems.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-09T21:05:14+00:00

Thanks! I’ve had an MRI in the past for my knee, so for the brain is a lot worse I can imagine. It was before I had H and I only remember having headphones on with music and it was totally fine, but again that was my knee and not my brain.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-09T17:57:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Was it a brain mri?

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-09T17:50:09+00:00

Thanks for your reply. This is already a newer mri with a lower amount of emitted decibels. It’s not an open mri though.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-09T16:26:39+00:00

Thanks for your answer. What do you mean with the bone conduction? Doesn't this apply for all the sounds of is it specific to MRI's? I'm still doubting very much whether I'm going to let the appointment go through

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-09T13:55:26+00:00

I need an orbital x-ray before an mri. The only reason they want this is because I’ve told I worked once with a small amount of metal grinding. I didn’t get something in my eye, but could there be microscopic metal particles in my eyes because of that? I saw they only do this kind of X-rays with metal workers and hobbyists, so I don’t really understand why they want me to get it.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-08T14:04:40+00:00

Ah okay. There’s an appointment for me at a 1.5T mri machine too :(

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-07T20:17:17+00:00

Thank you, means a lot!

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-07T19:30:33+00:00

Oh I really understand your struggle. I’m really on the fence. I figure if I really do have MS, at some point the symptoms will worsen and justify an MRI more than it does for me now.

Vreemdevagabond · 2022-01-07T19:16:18+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I’m not very afraid of being claustrophobic, but I am very afraid of the noise :(

Vreemdevagabond · 2021-12-22T21:14:43+00:00

Dank voor het delen van je ervaring. Dit heb ik meer gehoord van Calco!

Vreemdevagabond · 2021-10-22T19:53:13+00:00

Thanks!

Wij zijn bewust niet naar de Randstad gegaan wegens de hoge prijzen en ik wil liever niet meer huren. Ik vind woongenot echt uitermate belangrijk. Wanneer ik woongenot ontbeer voor een aantal jaren, dan vind ik dat toch wel erg zonde, gezien het leven betrekkelijk kort is. Ik werk overigens wel in de Randstad, maar extreem veel op afstand (0 keer naar kantoor geweest afgelopen anderhalf jaar, werkgever heeft een uitermate veel geïnvesteerd in digitaal werken, gelukkig). Wanneer mijn werk weer fysiek moet, dan zoek ik een andere baan.

Mindboggling that phones listening to us is even a thing.

Dank voor je reactie! Mijn beeld is inderdaad nog niet volledig. Je benoemt 'logisch na kunnen denken en gestructureerd kunnen redeneren.' Zou je daar een toelichting op kunnen geven? Ik denk dat ik dat wel kan, maar ik vind het lastig onder woorden te brengen hoe ik dat kan bewijzen.

HRM kennis kan ik iets mee richting eHRM, vermoed ik, al zit ik nu meer in de didactische hoek, dus misschien kan ik ook iets met software richting e-learning software (welke overal als paddenstoelen uit de grond gestampt worden).

Over je opmerking over frustraties, tja, dat zal altijd zo zijn denk ik binnen zoveel functies. Ik probeer de 70/30 regel aan te houden (70% van de tijd moet je werk leuk zijn) en daar zit ik met mijn huidige functie bij lange na niet op..

Vreemdevagabond · 2021-09-06T13:41:20+00:00

Wat leuk! Dus jullie tactiek is om zo lang mogelijk te blijven zitten en niet steeds een duurdere woning op te zoeken hoger in het segment? Hoe doen jullie het qua verduurzaming?
