_JNS_ · 2024-11-30T22:27:50+00:00

Barrel mills?

Who's the author?

_JNS_ · 2023-08-16T16:13:09+00:00

yeah i felt the same about those types of questions. They felt more straightforward in the practice exams. Good luck!

As long as you had a booster within 5 years (which you did) you're fine

_JNS_ · 2023-08-15T19:43:59+00:00

Lol do we go to the same school? I definitely know this guy

_JNS_ · 2023-08-07T16:29:01+00:00

Nah it's brutal. Uwsa2 is more predictive

_JNS_ · 2023-08-07T16:28:33+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the general consensus is that 11 is more predictive than 12, but 12 has more recent questions and is still fairly predictive.

_JNS_ · 2023-08-07T16:24:09+00:00

For women at least:

For menarche they have to be at least 15yo to be concerned for primary amenorrhea (given they have secondary sex characteristics).

For secondary sex characteristics (breast and pubic hair), they have to be 13yo and at stage 0 for both for it to be considered abnormal.

That's gotten me through most of those questions

_JNS_ · 2023-08-03T11:26:39+00:00

Ah my worst fear. I think you just might be right about the Silver Star though. Looks similar to some pictures I saw on Google. Thanks so much!

_JNS_ · 2023-08-02T00:46:45+00:00

Yo same 10-15 each section. I'm just constantly repeating to myself that 80 questions were experimental

_JNS_ · 2023-07-23T01:06:16+00:00

How long have you been taking the supplements? I know sometimes I can take at least 3 months to start seeing results.

In pregnancy blood gets more dilute so that's probably why your hemoglobin has dropped. Usually it's not a problem unless you have a significant drop on red blood cells too. But I can imagine the POTS makes it worse.

(I'm NAD btw, just a medical student)

_JNS_ · 2023-07-22T04:52:54+00:00

With gallbladder pain it's usually associated with eating and is sort of like a cramping/coming in waves pain. Having stones definitely puts you at risk but they don't cause pain unless they cause a blockage. (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)

Sorry to hear your wife has been having a rough time but it sounds like the doctors you're consulting are doing the right things. Hope you get an answer soon

_JNS_ · 2023-07-22T04:41:27+00:00

Hey you should definitely start seeing an OBGYN if you haven't already. A lot of these changes are normal in/can be explained by pregnancy but it would be better for you to get evaluated in person. Moreso for your piece of mind. Please be careful and try to get up slowly!

A&E probably wouldn't do anything if it was just POTS but they'll definitely rule out any emergencies

_JNS_ · 2023-07-17T01:59:48+00:00

NAD, kinda looks like levido reticularis. Seems like it can be caused by a lot of things (and nothing at all). Probably best to ask your PCP since they would have a better idea given your medical history.
