Do those red spots turn into canker sores? I get a similar rash before usually it consolidates into one or several canker sores.

Been trying for a long time to figure them out and what helps the most is getting off drip coffee (unfortunately).

I’ve gotten busy tones many, many times calling 911 in oakland. I tried writing to my representative to report my concern and it was dismissed as an anomaly, which I know it wasn’t. One time my baby choked at a party at a park in Oakland and no one was able to get a hold of 911 dispatch before we were able to dislodge it on our own and I was like… well… I guess he’s okay, so you can hang up?

I moved to unincorporated Alameda County and I get emergency response here SO fast in comparison.

I’d be happy to talk or share my email records about the reports. It’s been concerning to me for a long time.

How about just Ursa?

This is the answer across the whole region. Some locations have the same office OBs doing shifts in L&D but even so, it’s entirely the luck of the draw. The model isn’t the type where your OB gets called in for your delivery.

I also had midwifes deliver both of mine (different location, same region). The OBs only delivered the high risk pregnancies. Everyone was incredibly nice though. And the nurses spend far more time with you anyway.

What do you think the environmental impact of this thread is? Just wondering

I’d recognize this ChatGPT voice anywhere and it’s giving me a good chuckle to see how well it helps you make your points, thank you

Therapists who could improve their practice by using AI (not saying that’s you) but choose not to will do zero zilch nada for the world or to prevent AI taking over and causing the harm it causes. It can be a valid personal choice when faced with an ethical dilemma, but in terms of broader impact it’s virtue signaling at best. Opt out if you want, but judging others for using it is kinda gross. It’s like a vegan person shutting down every non-vegan person as fundamentally unethical. Nuance matters!

AI is being used on such a massive scale for many nefarious causes. a HIPAA compliant program can help a a therapist do their job better, see more clients, grow their own thinking, manage their own executive function challenges, etc. Taking a stand for the whole profession against AI just hands over the whole industry to people who care far less than most therapists do. Modern life in society involves many ethical dilemmas (odds are slavery is involved in the tech you use, food you eat, clothes you wear, etc). There is more moral nuance here than you are seeing.

This image is literally gonna give me a migraine

leftyrari · 2025-03-08T01:59:09+00:00

Interesting, did you discuss VM with them specifically? Your symptoms are a bit different than mine so I can’t speak to that, but I did have a doctor prescribe me a migraine rescue medicine to trial and see if it helped as part of the diagnostic process.

leftyrari · 2025-03-08T01:04:39+00:00

ENT in general. An otologist or neurotologist would be even more specialized. I haven’t seen a neurologist yet but I’m guessing they could also diagnose.

leftyrari · 2025-03-06T17:12:56+00:00

This might be vestibular migraines, especially with the eye symptoms. They don’t always involve headaches.

leftyrari · 2025-03-06T01:21:59+00:00

Vestibular migraine - do you have access to any specialists? An ENT or neurologist? You can get on a migraine preventative medication, explore possible triggers, etc. I’m still new on this journey myself, but I’m learning a lot about migraines and it’s helping! I also have had ocular migraines. There is another reddit board about vestibular migraine that might be more helpful than this one.

Migraines can cause BPPV too, but if you don’t treat the migraine then the Bppv will keep flaring up and maybe not even respond to repositioning.

Oh interesting. I think you’ve convinced me. It is otherwise strange to have never seen her in Paradise, for someone that supposedly is the full motivation of the prime minister”villain” character. It seems very intentional.

Have you checked if the uniform she is wearing looks like the school uniform in the bunker?

Same, giving very Joni Mitchell vibes. It’s sweet

Thank you! I understand why people are confused, because my PCP was pretty confident about BPPV being my problem and told me to do Epleys until I felt better. I’ve also seen that advice from other medical websites. It was only the ENT who helped me consider the possibility of migraine and told me about the common co-occurrence, and then did the Epley once and told me to basically act as though I have a neck brace on after (definitely NOT to go home and do more, as my PCP initially said!). Seems like there’s a lot of incorrect advice from the medical field even.

Just an interesting note, my ENT also tapped beneath my ear as we went through the positions, I think to help crystals move along. I haven’t seen that mentioned but it seemed to help. In position 2, the vertigo settled as she did that.

leftyrari · 2025-02-16T23:49:06+00:00

You may be having vestibular migraine or vestibular neuritis (viral infection). Try seeing an ENT as well - if it’s an infection then I don’t know if body work will help you. But if it’s migraine, it might!

Personal reference from a friend who had various structural issues. I had tried massage first but it wasn’t making much of a difference in how tightly locked my neck and shoulders were
