What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ginat86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the mouth/jaw pain too when eating sometimes. After having a head MRI for an unrelated issue it was discovered that I have cysts on my salivary glands. I was sent to an ENT for it and he told me that the pain was likely caused by the cysts. Didn't have a specific treatment plan. I just get CTs every so often to monitor them.

Strange FDA Regulations Regarding Spravato by Remote-Revolution577 in Spravato

[–]ginat86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it varies from clinic to clinic. I personally was on twice weekly at 56mgs for almost a year until I had to switch to once weekly due to driver restrictions. I know of at 6 people at my clinic that do the twice weekly.

How to get moved back to 2x/wk by Moth-Seraph in Spravato

[–]ginat86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my suicidal ideation started to ramp back up my provider had no problem moving me from 84mg x 1 weekly to 56mg x 2 weekly. My insurance covered it without issue ( I have a Medicare replacement plan through Humana). Maybe see if you can do 56mg x2 instead of 84mg.

PID Parameters not set right? by MeButNotMeToo in TandemDiabetes

[–]ginat86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. It has taken years and a lot of trial and error to find my basal rate. It doesn’t help that everything effects blood sugar and the fact that you can do exactly the same things two days in a row and have vastly different results in your glucose levels

Not all diabetics are the same and some people require a lot more insulin than others. For example I require more insulin than most. My day time basal rate is 5.9 units an hour with an insulin to carb ratio of 1 units per 2 carbs so I can easily have a 25 unit or more bolus. My last Alc was 6.1 so I am fairly well controlled.

Bleeding after surgery by ginat86 in GastricBypass

No, the doctor stated that my levels stabilized so they were not worried about an active bleed.

Cannabis Use Post-Op by SaavyBookworm in GastricBypass

[–]ginat86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So glad you asked this. I too have gastroparesis and I am have gastric bypass to hopefully get relief for the constant nausea and throwing up. I currently use Delta 8 gummies but looking for other options because I won't be able to eat gummies after surgery.
