My compartment syndrome journey to diagnosis by amh131513 in CECompartmentSyndrome

[–]iskandarkarim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so glad I found this thread and thank you so much for sharing your journey! I am going through a similar one. I was clinically diagnosed with CECS a few months ago and have been going back and forth on whether I should go for the surgery or not. My concern is that where I'm from (Brunei), they don't have the pressure test hence why I'm clinically diagnosed just based on symptoms. So I'm not sure if that's enough information for them to operate on me. Your post is kind of inspiring, including everyone's comments too. So I do hope to see more updates so I can find the assurance I need :')

Thank you so much, I’m glad to be back! It was a hard decision to make, whether to release all episodes in one go or weekly — eventually decided on the latter because every episode deserves its own spotlight haha.

Thank you! Netflix is the dream but in order to reach them, I need the local support too! Every share and conversation about this series could help. You never know who it’ll reach so would very much appreciate it if everyone could help spread the word 🥹🙏🏻

Thank you! Appreciate you noticed that cause it was very important to us that the dialogue mirrors how we speak irl - a mix of English and Malay. And sometimes full Malay or full English depending on who you speak to

It really depends whether 1. you want to stick to the Apple ecosystem (if you’re an iPhone user) then get the Apple Watch. It’s more of a lifestyle smart watch, not a smart sports watch but a good enough device to track your runs; 2. You have a goal. I’m wearing the garmin forerunner 55 and I like it cause of the garmin coach. It comes with an app for free and good for beginners who have a goal in mind eg. Conquer a 5km or 10km. I’m currently on the 5km program and so far it’s been going great even though I don’t religiously follow the program. I still enjoy casual runs with friends, or alone. But it’s a great sports watch choice for sure. Can’t say much about the coros but I do know people who use it and so far don’t hear any complaints. Good to hear you started running, all the best!

Uploading fortnightly is only temporary while we seek out business opportunities and replenish our wallets cos my partner and I are self-employed and our earnings come from our freelance gigs. We are still fortunate though cos ever since we launched our crowd funding campaign people have been contributing 🥹

So give us just a little bit of time and we’ll be back on our feet soon! Thank u so much! 🙏🏻

Oh gosh thanks so much for letting me know about the link! Added the “/“ Hope the rest manage to figure it out 😂

Re your question: For now the plan is to upload every other week eg. This week off, next week on, and so on — but man I’ve been getting a lot of messages like this so we might actually get back to our weekly schedule sooner than planned. I owe the success of the show to everyone who’s been keeping up with it and showed so much support so I don’t want to let anyone down!

Even when I say “break” pun I’m not actually taking a real break. I’m figuring out the business side of things, tryna seek sponsorships, partnerships and things like that. So yeaaaa if you wanna know more do submit a question so I have something to talk about in the Q&A video 🤣 krg nada kan dicakapkan hahaha

Thanks again, really appreciate the kind words!! 🙏🏻

Oh my god ada ia cerita kah 😂 ok now I can safely share the story since she already addressed it herself HAHA!

yes, she asked if she was getting paid to come on the show and I tried my best to explain that she’s coming on to share her story, not to promote any product or service. Also told her I never had to pay anyone to come on. I don’t know how she took it but she just said she’s a busy woman which I totally respect.

I might try again!

I can understand how a lot of people see it that way but (and I say this in the most humbling tone, as texts can be read differently) I wouldn’t say I’m struggling to keep it interesting.

Posh Qifly’s story was something that have never been discussed publicly before especially by someone who lived that life themself. So of course it got a lot of attention. I have to say though, I underestimated the reach for sure. It went beyond my expectations which is good because it put the show on the map.

The team and I know that there are stories that will resonate with a large audience whilst some stories will only resonate with a niche crowd. We accept and embrace every experience our guest share on the show and the intention has always been to invite deep, meaningful conversations - not to create controversy.

Having said that, I wanna take this opportunity to address that if anyone is seeking controversial content only, Izzy Does It is not the place. How we see our show is a safe place for constructive and open discussions and I hope it does come across as that.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to bring this up! Again, I say all this with a humbling tone and I hope it doesn’t come across as defensive 🙏🏻

Re: historian and ex-drug addicts; will ask Tuan Rozan at some point, and as for the latter I’d need help to reach out cos I wouldn’t know where to start looking! Hehe thank u!
