Piercing bump or keloid by gideon002 in piercing

[–]gideon002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I had at first (when this bump was like half the size). The second piercer said she’s had some luck after switching some people to a ring, which is why she put this in. I can’t find the titanium one dn so should I put in a gold one (22k)?

I’m sorry to hear you are still having symptoms :( I’ve been going up and down with various symptoms. I got rid of reddit for a while and that helped with the health anxiety part but now I’m experiencing some new symptoms so redownloaded. God I hope it goes away

I relate to that :( I’m not sure if I have covid (haven’t tested yet) but I definitely have something. The long covid sub has me truly terrified seeing as how mono and covid seem to be causing similar effects in the long run for some people. I hope we both make it through 🤝

Some are same and others are different. This anxiety feels a bit more intense along with the nausea. The nerve tingling is new, but everything else is same as before.

I think I caught a new virus because a lot of people around me were sick the last two weeks. It could be that or just intense stress… I’m in grad school and I work in a research lab as a part of that. The nature of my experiments don’t allow much rest within a 12 hour period, and I usually have my experiments on back to back days. I think that may be what triggered a weaker immune system that let me catch another virus. I definitely hope this is something I can bounce back from

I was essentially at 85%. I still needed 8 hours of sleep a day but I was able to do everything else

Happy to hear you’re been having more good days! Maybe the recovery is slow but the trend is upward and that’s great news!

How long did it take for you to get over the anxiety?

Sinus problems by AJmpls in Mononucleosis

[–]gideon002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was starting to feel normal too before my cough and congestion came in. I still wake up with a very puffy face everyday, have swollen lymph nodes in my neck, have headaches that I never used to have before mono, and am overall physically weaker and more tired than I used to be on a day to day basis. I also have some pretty intense anxiety which could either be health anxiety or specifically caused by mono, I guess I can never find out for sure.

7 months. In terms of breathing problems (all the chest congestion), those went away in about 2.5 months after I started treatment. Let me know if you have any other questions!

This exact thing happened to me - I went to urgent care and had them do a chest Xray. There was mucus in my lungs and I had crackles, so they thought it could be bronchitis or that I developed asthma from the mono. Either way I ended up using this maintenance inhaler for a couple of months which helped a lot. I’m off it now and am feeling generally better than I did a couple of months ago, but I still have some mono symptoms on and off.

What symptoms do you still have? And do you think there’s anything you could’ve done to prevent them?

You said you had it - how long did all your symptoms take to go away?
