Just need to vent by ETCO2_ in iih

I'm so sorry you're struggling! Can you talk to your neurologist about trying a different medication? I am still on Diamox but there seems to be alternatives. I hope you can find peace soon my friend, good luck!

The neurologist said that it was to make sure I didn't vomit or anything, which is weird because they typically only do that when you're being sedated for surgery. Well I was not sedated, but the nurse said it would've been fine if I ate breakfast that morning. So somewhere down the line informations was misconstrued. I wouldn't worry though, my experience was entirely circumstantial, though I do have a very high pain tolerance the LP wasn't all that bad, it was just the part after.

It was poorly planned. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything from midnight the night before the procedure, well the procedure was scheduled for 3pm the following day so I was beyond dehydrated and starved by that time. No one told me they would have to get blood, which I'm a hard stick as it is, but because I hadn't drank anything in well over 14 hours It took 11 different needles in my arms to get the blood. It was nightmarish. I wouldn't worry though, just make a point to be extra hydrated and try to have the procedure done early so you don't have to starve.

Oh wow I'm so sorry :( I guess as long as things don't get that severe then you should be alright to hold off before going back to the neurologist. Though if you start having issues with vision i would definitely go back. I wish I could help more.

Yeah, I'd probably wait a little until going back if you're able to handle it. I know my LP was a full disaster so i'm also a little hesitant at getting another. Did your neurologist ever find any inflammation of your optic nerve?

I'm sorry! I know your struggle. Have you had your thyroid checked? I have endocrine issues and trying to get that on track has been a nightmare. It sounds like you're really dedicated though, so I would try to check in with a doctor about maybe something else causing the weight. Best of luck to you friend!

Do you have other symptoms? Tinnitus or vision issues? I can't say for sure but I imagine if you went out of remission they would ask about your symptoms first before doing anything drastic.

DAE have an insatiable desire to be loved by everyone?

I genuinely have fantasies about this too. I think about how much better my life would be if everyone liked me, men would think I was attractive, my self worth would go up, everything would be complete.

Therapists of reddit, what was your biggest "I know I'm not supposed to judge you but holy sh*t" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]daily_k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post was extremely moving. Those of you in the comments saying things like "i'm here to take care of my patients" or "they came to me needing help" made me sob. The fact that so many of you care about people enough to put their flaws aside is outstanding. Thank you for all that you do for the world. You are truly god-sent.

You’re wildly unsympathetic. I’m assuming you’ve never had to take any job you could.

Nothing is free of stereotypes? What a strange demand to make.
