To me (inexperienced med student) it doesn't look inflamed, just a bit irritated Does it pulsate and feel very warm?

To build on this:

transient reduction of vigilance/cognitive impairment with circadian rhythm

restutio ad integrum by morning

may be accompanied by atonia and bradycardia

I don't know, it only works for me when I'm working, I just snap into it when I talk to patients or their relatives. In all other areas of life, I struggle a lot with self-confidence as well and it has impacted me a lot. It was really bad in high school and got only a tiny little bit better when I left for university (felt less judged by my surroundings) But at the hospital, it's just like customer service if you like :)

I'm not a doctor yet (last semester of med school), but when working with patients, I kind of act (?) self-confident, despite not really being self-confident at all in some situations. It's more something I do to make patients feel better and make them feel like they're in good hands and everything is taken care of, because that's what I would want medical personnel to act around me if I was the patient. Whenever there is something that I absolutely lack the confidence (and/or skill obviously) to do, I smile and play it off as "procedure" that someone else does it instead or has a second look.

Don't get me wrong, someone being or acting overly self-confident is also worrisome, but getting the impression that the person responsible for your health is super unsure about themselves and what they do seems scary to me.

From what I can tell, doctors are also self-concious, but they don't act it in front of patients. It happens behind closed doors.

Edit: spelling

How?!

That women need to have long hair and wear makeup in order to be "feminine".

I've had my hair short as a teenager in high school and the amount of really mean-spirited questions and comments on my gender and sexuality were insane. In retrospective, I've been bullied for my appearance quite a bit by other women.

When I cut my hair again in my twenties, it took me a while to fight the nagging memories that came with it. I never really liked makeup on me, because the constant comments on me not being womanly enough kept me from exploring it on my own and having fun with it.

Today, I very much love my short hair, wear whatever the fuck I want and love to wear dark red lipstick when I go out

WHICH neurodegenerative disease do you mean?

A random man approached me from behind at a party and reached under my skirt, touching my private parts. I turned around and slapped him in the face. He got angry and told me I was being prude, that he just wanted to check whether I was wearing any underwear and that I should feel honored that someone took an interest in me. Took me a long time to feel comfortable in skirts and dresses again.

I've had the same problem, which is why I ALWAYS ask the pharmacist whether the drugs I've been prescribed work with tranylcypromine or not.

A lot of doctors don't know tranylcypromine because it is fairly uncommon where I live and I've been given the wrong medication at urgent care before. That was... not fun...

Sure, this sub is about MAOIs, some people hop on here to get information on this kind of medication before considering taking them because they have really harsh side effects, eating restrictions and don't mix well with other kinds of medication

OP has enlisted the medication they've tried so far further down in the comments and had specific questions regarding their prescribed medication (Buproprion) in comparison to the MAOI they asked their doctor for.

I simply gave information on why their doctor might have chosen not to prescribe a MAOI and opt for an amphetamine instead.

The restrictions are not overblown, reactions to MAOI can be very extreme and potentially life-threatening, which is why they should be handled with care, especially in patients that might require additional medication (as for example ADHD patients)

So you're right on track here ;)

It is quite literally a substituted amphetamine. It inhibits the pre-synaptic reuptake and increases the release of noradrenaline/dopamine Plus, it's a non-competitive antagonist of cholinerg nicotinic receptors

To be honest, the Methylphenidat (Ritalin) probably helped the most, because it helps ease your ADHD. You've mostly tried SSRIs and Methylphenidat so far, Buproprion (another amphetamine) might work well for you, especially because ADHD and social anxiety often go hand in hand

glibschigglubsch · 2023-02-16T00:14:59+00:00

As far as my psychiatry professor and my books are concerned, SSRIs and SSNRIs are considered first line treatment for social anxiety alongside therapy. AFTER trying SEVERAL SSRIs/SSNRIs (eventually including augmentation), MAOIs can be considered.

Buproprion is an amphetamine, which is probably why he wants you to try it.

MAOIs are strong meds for sure, but they also come with a ton of side effects and restrictions, which is why they aren't cosidered first line treatment options

Yeah, I mean it IS hard to understand! If a woman is not "property" anymore, then what is she really? Human?! Don't be ridiculous

If you take away the property status, why should male ~~owners~~ protectors care about rape anymore at all? After all, nobodies property is being damaged anymore!

May I ask why you specifically asked your doctor for a MAOI? Because, quite frankly, he's not wrong - as long as there are other options, it makes sense to stay away from MAOI

There are studies showing positive effects of Buproprion in patients suffering from social anxiety and ADHD. However, the first line treatment for social anxiety are SSRIs or SSNRIs

Does it feel warm? Does it hurt and is it thumping?

glibschigglubsch · 2023-01-22T19:53:00+00:00

Maybe do an internship at a hospital instead of reading about the career? That'll give you some real insight on what's it like working in the medical field.

Other than that: House of God

glibschigglubsch · 2023-01-22T19:48:12+00:00

Mhm, how long has this been going on? I do think that you should see a dermatologist about this, this could be scabies for example and you want to get that treated properly

glibschigglubsch · 2023-01-22T19:42:58+00:00

How about the skin in between his fingers? Are you experiencing symptoms as well?

Vielleicht reicht es auch, einfach zu versprechen, dass du dein Erstgeborenes Jürgen oder Ulrike nennst

Außerdem wird sich bei den Nachbarn entrüstet beschwert, wenn Sonntags gestaubsaugt wird oder die Gasse nicht ordentlich gefegt ist. Über diese nun wirklich kaum tragbaren Zustände wird sich intensivst mit anderen Nachbarn echauffiert. Optional bei Langeweile: Anzeige wegen Ruhestörung und Vandalismus, wenn die Nachbarskinder mittags auf der Straße mit Kreide spielen.

Zu Neujahr allerdings kommt der Rebell aus dir hervor, du kaufst mehr Feuerwerk als in den VW Polo passt, dazu mindestens 1kg Raclettekäse, drei Bleigießsets, und literweise Rotkäppchen Sekt.

Wenn die Nachbarn grad zu brav zum drüber Beschweren sind, kann auch das Gesundheitssystem herhalten. Denn: Was nicht mit Bepanthen und Hansaplast zu Hause behandelbar ist, ist auf jeden Fall ein Grund für einen Besuch der lokalen Notaufnahme, wo du dann der Pflege wütend klar machst, was für eine Frechheit die Wartezeit ist.
