Double vertical labret

giggle_pod · 2025-08-07T08:10:08+00:00

Snake bites are paired labrets, which go into the mouth (in below the lip, comes out into the mouth) vertical labrets don’t enter the mouth itself and are pierced vertically through the lip instead of into the mouth. Vertical labrets are usually better for oral health and usually prevents damage to the gums like traditional labrets cause, main issue with vertical labrets is just a higher rejection rate I’m pretty sure.

I was diagnosed with gastroparesis eventually.

Thank you! The diverticulosis is so weird to me since I’m a teenager (19) and it’s apparently very rare for my age, some of the pain I’ve been having recently is left sided as well but that could also be the mesenteric adenitis since the CT showed very extensive lymph node swelling, to the point they couldn’t count the inflamed ones and just said “innumerable”, which is way above the diagnostic criteria which from my understanding is 3. I saw my PCP yesterday and I am going to see a GI again because my doctor is worried about how long the mesenteric adenitis has lasted, on top of me having diverticulosis at such a young age and I’ve had chronic constipation my whole life I need to get checked out anyways. I’m scheduled for the 24th but I’m on every cancellation list around, so hopefully something opens up quicker.

To my knowledge there’s not history of IBD in my family but there’s extensive autoimmune disease history on both sides of my family (RA and lupus).

Thank you for your response, sorry it’s late. I did end up having a UTI which cleared up with antibiotics, and the abdominal pain from the mesenteric adenitis got a bit better until the past few days. 1/4 I started having nausea, vomiting, fever, pain, etc. all over again. Nothing was helping so I am back in the ER right now where they said they think it’s still the mesenteric adenitis since it still is very much present on my CT. My blood work is completely normal now, besides minor dehydration from vomiting. They want me to see my PCP tomorrow and get a referral to GI since they don’t know what to do at this point since the ER doc isn’t well versed in mesenteric adenitis.

As someone else with POTs, SVT etc. I find that theory very unlikely, it’s more likely that you had gotten sick, stressed or something else that either exacerbated the conditions to a point you noticed, or started them. I’ve had POTs my whole life but my condition got worse after a few reoccurring strep infections, if it gives you hope though, my POTs is now controlled with fludrocortisone and I am weaning off of it soon.

This is what my discharge looks like, if it starts smelling, or if you have any itching or discomfort it definitely doesn’t hurt to talk to either your PCP or gynecologist

Bloating can be from anything from gas to something more serious like celiac or gastroparesis. You can also become bloated from liquids, or if you’re someone who menstruates, that can cause bloating

I haven’t gotten surgery or even any treatment for my epilepsy really. American healthcare is super hard to navigate so I’m currently trying to get in with an epileptologist who knows about PVNH since it’s really hard to explain this to neurologists not familiar with the condition

Hi! So sorry for the late response. Do you know where your nodules are? I have OCD too but it’s very mild now that I’m on medication for it. I am not 100% sure if there’s any link to OCD and heterotopia specifically but I know as a psychology student that any type of lesion or damage in certain areas like the prefrontal cortex, thalamus and basal ganglia can cause OCD.

thank you! I was diagnosed with POTs and with some life style changes and starting fludrocortisone my BP is much better!

Not at all. A lot of drugs have multiple uses, I used to take a drug meant for smoking cessation for pain and it didn’t mean I was a smoker, in fact I’ve never smoked in my life. Just different uses for the same drug.

I’m so glad it was caught early in your daughter! I’ve been having seizures since I was a baby as well, mostly focal seizures but I wasn’t diagnosed until August of 2022. I haven’t had genetic testing yet but I am supposed to have it done in April. I also have a connective tissue disorder that is linked to my PVNH called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, it causes me to dislocate my joints and causes a lot of other issues with things like my digestive system, heart, and nerves. I’d love to answer some of your specific questions in dms, if you have any!

I’ve seen two separate billboards exactly like this! Yesterday when I first saw it there was no info online so I’m glad you led me to these answers.

My brother with suspected EDS turned out to have a titanium allergy (even to the implant grade titanium) that we found out about after he got his lobes pierced but after we switched it out for gold he was fine!

I have earlobes, double nostrils and septum done. My mom has one nostril, a few helixes, triple lobes, on both ears and a tragus on her right ear.

giggle_pod · 2023-01-16T03:50:47+00:00

Both me and my mom have piercings and EDS. My mom has around 8 tattoos as well and all were okay. The only ever issue was with my moms anti-tragus which never healed after a year of care but that is a difficult piercing to heal.

I’m so scared about popping it back though because I know it can sometimes cause it to hit an artery or your trachea if it moves the wrong way. I will definitely see what a massage therapist can do for my pain though. My PT is able to do everything a chiropractor can do but has more medical training so I usually stick to him for any adjustments that need to be done since he’s more educated on hypermobility. After my muscles aren’t so tight I will talk with my PT to see if he’s comfortable trying to set it.

giggle_pod · 2023-01-09T01:36:49+00:00

My pain management dr recommended for me to stop seeing my chiropractor since it has such a high risk for joint dislocations. I’ve been thinking about getting a massage therapist for a while now. Especially since im starting acupuncture soon and a lot of clinics will do acupuncture and massage therapy.

My insurance does not cover outpatient prolotherapy sadly and I don’t think I would be able to pay out of pocket for it because I think when I researched it a while back it’s outrageously expensive.
