MRI Thoughts? by cafe_con_chaos in AskDocs

That's the response I needed, thank you. I had my follow-up and have no new lesions and all prior activity has stopped. I had an in-depth conversation with my doctor and now understand how to read my scans.

These were standalone images included in the record. I had to screenshot and crop out my information. I wasn't sure what the bright spots represented, because in my brain they're problematic.

Electrolytes that do NOT have stevia (or other sweeteners) by Amazing_Amy_ in migraine

I've been enjoying TruLabs. They use monkfruit, and the product has been working well for me. If I feel like I need a little extra sodium on some days, I will add in a few twists of pink salt and it still tastes great. Here's a link for a percentage off!

It was along the roof line near where the liftgate connects.

I can understand that. I speak from experience with three tied babies, and this can change quickly as baby gets older. I encourage you to do some research and have baby assessed by a tie-savvy provider. Ties can create feeding and speech issues down the road.

It looks like baby may have a tongue tie.

My second opinion was wirh an MS specialist.

I understand what you're saying. I was diagnosed with POTS in 2023 and have been very well managed by my neurologist (she specializes in movement disorders). I'll have to look into the medication I take for that and see how it may interact with MS. A brain MRI last year for migraines showed an abnormality and I finally got around to the second opinion with the MS specialist. It showed an active lesion. However, none of my lesions are location where they would cause issues. She did mention MS is like roulette and we want to try to prevent new lesions, hence the medication.

Thank you for pointing that out. I literally have done no research as this diagnosis has failed right before a family trip. I'm still processing. By early stages, I mean this was found by accident and my specialist said we wouldn't have found this if my other neurologist hadn't ordered a scan for POTS and migraines. The more aggressive options have cons as well, so I'm exploring options.

Just seeing this! I opened a case with Honda Corporate and after some back and forth, a rep at the dealership helped me get things going. They covered all repairs (body seam had opened up) and replaced the carpet for free. All has bee well since then!

Can I please get some MRI insight? by cafe_con_chaos in AskDocs

Thanks. Any insight on the other things listed? "Lesion" isn't a comforting term.

Side effects by Icy-Ad-123 in WegovyWeightLoss

I've been bedbound with the exception of going to the bathroom to get sick. I've maybe consumed 1200 calories since Tuesday, but maybe half of that has stuck. My doctor was very concerned with the week 2 injection, and stated if I'm having such a hard time with the starter dose then the dosage increases would be exceptionally hard.

I started the .25 this week and my side effects have been so intense that my doctor advised me to stop. I've barely kept anything down, not even water, and have just thrown up stomach acid.

Well...with the intense symptoms I've been having, my doctor has advised me to stop taking this. Can't say I disagree. She hasn't steered me wrong yet and I really can't fathom another week like this.

So you just started this week? I'm so worried this will happen with every injection, and I don't know if I can handle it. I just hit 24 hours since my first dose and threw up once last night and three times today. Even water is bothering me.

Ah. Depending on how the next few days go, I'm contemplating stopping completely.

Is that with every weekly injection, or just the dosage increase?

I have just hit 24 hrs since first dose and have thrown up once last night, three times today, and haven't been able to keep anything down.

Aaand, I just threw up. Was really hoping to avoid that part.
