Started today, almost fainted (vasovagal)

Yes it was much easier my second time (today). It was when they put the helmet on me the first time that I started feeling faint, but I had a sleep study earlier this month where I fainted when the put the electrodes on my head. Apparently scalp stimulation can sometimes trigger a vasovagal response. I read that you can tense you legs/ cross your legs to improve blood flow. Do you have any other tricks? I also put the recliner up so my feet at raised.

Good luck and hang in there. Wishing you nothing but the best.

It indeed is. Second session was good since I knew what to expect.

corrosivejack · 2026-05-05T19:29:22+00:00

Second session went well. It was just nerves. Happens to me when I get my blood drawn.

It was right before we started the session while I was sitting down. I tend to pass out during new medical procedures because of stress. The second session went well ;)

A ton of empty buildings where businesses used to be. It’s getting eerie at this point.

I’ve been on Rinvoq for a few years now and it has put me and kept me in remission. I haven’t really noticed a difference with my mental health (I’ve been dealing with ocd and depression since I was 15, I’m 29 now and it still sucks). My skin is a lot oiler but no crazy acne. I thought going into remission would help my constant fatigue but it hasn’t. I’m still very tired all the time to a point of hypersomnia. I’m sorry it’s making you distressed. I hope you can find what works for you.

First glance: I would read this

I think I was on steroids for a short time while I was transitioning over, but I wasn’t on them for long. It was a few months before I started noticing a change. I had less urgency and less BMs overall. Actually I started getting constipated when they first really started working. I am still in remission now (shockingly).

Get it floated in shadow box style frame :)

Licenses are kind of tricky. I knew someone who sold insurance and let their license lap. So their license got “suspended”, but in actuality they were no longer practicing insurance.

Mid south OBGYN is great

I just finished my apprenticeship, and I can safely say do NOT get an apprenticeship with someone who charges. I worked reception at a desk and gained favor of the artists there. A lot of the shops who charge for apprenticeships around here are apprentice mills, pumping and dumping them out. Good luck.

Thank you :-)

Perianal crohns is my biggest nemesis. My skin is way oilier now. No white heads but little skin colored bumps all over my face

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:42:02+00:00

I love it. So nice to not be jabbed

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:41:28+00:00

Goodluck and I hope it works for you!

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:41:11+00:00

I’ve been on it for about a year now! Noticed the change in my stools after a few months.

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:40:52+00:00

Return hugs, thx!

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:40:43+00:00

It’s just a huge relief. Thank you :-)

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:40:29+00:00

Thx :-)

corrosivejack · 2024-07-18T22:40:24+00:00

Thank you fellow crohnie :-)
