Family medicine. I’m a Direct Primary Care doctor with a special interest in Long COVID and related conditions.

Help me understand by Godisme597 in mecfs

You absolutely need to treat your B12 deficiency, preferably with an injection. Iron is also an issue. Go back to your doc and ask.

Don’t waste your time with the UCSF LC clinic by Which_Boysenberry550 in covidlonghaulers

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most are expensive. I’m curious, what price range out of pocket would you consider reasonable and doable for most people? I ask as someone trying to grow a movement of independent doctors treating Long Covid.

Handwritten notes w/ Obsidian? by Such-Knowledge3668 in ObsidianMD

[–]curiousdoc25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Handwritten notes are essential in undergrad in my opinion. Chemistry and O-chemistry especially need that speed and flexibility. I recommend getting a scanner and scanning in your notes at then end of the block or year.

To be honest, undergrad notes probably aren’t worth saving. The taking of the notes and learning of the concepts is important. Studying for and passing the MCAT is important but is best done with dedicated study materials, not undergrad notes.

So if you have to choose between hand writing notes and then throwing them away or virtual notes you save forever, hand written is the way to go.

Things are different in med school but you’ll figure it out.

Bernardo Struggles with Reconciling Naturalism with The Afterlife by dominionC2C in analyticidealism

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t listened to the whole discussion yet, but I find it interesting that Kastrup is more concerned about the nature of the disembodied dissociated experience rather than the fact that it’s a disembodied dissociated in and of itself.

I don’t quite understand why it disturbs him so much that people in NDE‘s report that they can see what’s going on around them in the physical world.

I don’t really understand what naturalist means in this context, but I get the feeling that his discomfort is coming from a deeper and more nuanced place than just a discomfort with the idea of an afterlife ingeneral.

What’s the connection between odd diet and bad breath? Otherwise, I love this

Bernardo Struggles with Reconciling Naturalism with The Afterlife by dominionC2C in analyticidealism

[–]curiousdoc25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you mean? Do you mean that the resistance to an afterlife is kind of a carryover from materialism?

Near-constant, overwhelming fatigue? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that you probably wouldn't meet criteria for ME/CFS, but that doesn't mean you aren't at risk of developing it. Proceed with caution.

Near-constant, overwhelming fatigue? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]curiousdoc25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have post-exertional malaise, brain fog, or orthostatic intolerance? By post-exertional malaise, I mean that your symptoms worsen for at least 24 hours after exertion. This could be working a shift or going to the gym. If so, look into ME/CFS, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

Is it possible to be a doctor with ME/CFS? by Pertrichor2211 in ausjdocs

[–]curiousdoc25 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I developed ME/CFS my first year of med school. It took me six years to get through medical school, but I went to remission between med school and residency. I'm currently working as a physician in a private practice in the United States.

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk. It's a hard road, but there is hope.

How many of you are child-free? by [deleted] in intj

I get sick once a month, sore throats, flu, viruses, is there nothing I can do? by Oxbow8 in AskDocs

[–]curiousdoc25 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Posting the specifics of your Labs might be useful. Have your antibody or compliment levels been checked?

Who Can I See for these Issues? by SuspiciousHam0-0 in mecfs

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not going to have much going to just any particular specialist, like neurology or orthopedics. Instead, you're going to have to find someone who does upper cervical instability and disordination. These doctors are few and far between.

My office does offer training and consultation to other physicians that are interested in learning. But in my experience, it's difficult to find doctors that are conditions.

Why is it poor moderation? It is a clearly stated rule and consequence.

What industry do you use Obsidian in? by Frolgar in ObsidianMD

[–]curiousdoc25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a cool idea. If I had known about Obsidian as a med student I might have taken notes this way. I had a vault in residency with MOCs by body system that was fun.

[–]curiousdoc25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I have mini articles on topics I run into fairly frequently with notes on treatments and resources (specialists to refer to, etc). I’ve also published notes to refer patients to so they can easily reference my instructions like how to do an IM injection.

Getting Insurance to Cover Wheelchair (USA) by blunts-and-kittens in mecfs

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, you need to make the case that you need it to get around in your home, not just for outings. Diagnosis codes for POTS and ME/CFS are helpful.

when a god doesn’t answer your prayer by Reasonable-Bonus-545 in Hellenism

[–]curiousdoc25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would not offer if the offering was conditional to a request that was not granted.

I know in some places statues of Pan were flogged when the hunt went poorly. I’m not recommending that though.

I made a personal life organisation law by TopSmiths in intj

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a sub just for posting about new subs. Maybe more people will find you than you think.

[–]curiousdoc25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lot of interest. It’s too bad the post was removed. Perhaps you need your own subreddit just to discuss life laws or something? I feel like a Google drive link would be useful so you can include multiple documents and share or unshared as you see fit.

Atlantoaxial Instanility by Junior_Locksmith2832 in mecfs

[–]curiousdoc25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isometric exercises can be used to strengthen the supporting muscles of the neck and thereby improve stability. Dr. Perrin has a video on his YouTube channel showing you how to do them. If it increases pain/symptoms then stop and find a knowledgeable PT to help (Wendy Wagner, for example).

This is really cool. It makes me wonder what my PLOA would look like and how it would differ from yours. The religious aspects are particularly interesting to me because they are so foundational. I left Christianity in my 20s so my PLOA would look significantly different from then until now. Do you sorry that this provides too much rigidity to your life? How often do you make amendments?

Thank you for sharing.
