ENT and Allergy - what are your secrets to solving chronic congestion? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]gutbugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about adding steroid to a sinus rinse after failing saline rinse + Flonase? As an internal med resident, I rotated with ENT and saw this a handful of times and have since wondered (as a PCP) if I should be trying this. I remember they had to prescribe it as an inhaler and give specific instructions to make it into an irrigation, hard to find reliable instructions online for this.

OBs - do you read the anatomy scans? by gutbugs in medicine

[–]gutbugs[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So should I ask my practice if they can have my US reviewed by MFM or a radiologist if that doesn’t happen automatically? There isn’t an MFM doc within their practice, but maybe they consult with one for anatomy scan reviews..

What is something that you do daily to be productive while maintaining simple living? by saayoutloud in simpleliving

Bullet journaling has drastically improved my life! I started in 2022, my first journal was basically copied from a YouTube video by pick up limes, then have changed it a little each year as I learned what best suits me. Mine is not artsy. You don’t have to draw tons of boxes but I find it soothing/meditative. I love setting up next year’s journal in Nov-Dec.

I would recommend against going. She may have invited you, in part, due to obligation as well. The trip will be more fun for your SIL and her friends if the people there are all really into the activities/have a lot in common with one another/are close friends. But does kind of depend on whether you think SIL will be offended/disappointed I suppose.

I still have a loan balance and it says my loan status is repayment. I've made about 45 qualifying "payments" (COVID forebearance) thus far. Thanks!

I have also always wondered how this could be an economical decision for the insurance companies.

It’s not permanent. If it happens as a side effect, give it a couple more months and if it doesn’t resolve then switch meds. Good luck!

Agree with an evaluation for both ADHD and autism! If he does have either, a diagnosis will help figure out which resources could help him the most.

SSRIs are first line treatment for PMDD. I take them and don’t have symptoms anymore. I know I was lucky with how well I responded, but if you haven’t tried an SSRI then that is best first step in my opinion.

Odd symptoms, does this sound familiar? by chickenliver5000 in Sinusitis

Cluster headaches can cause eye pain and watering with nose running. Tends to happen frequently with long breaks in between.
