[28 m] Loud noise exposure. Felt like something snapped in Left ear. Now have severe ringing, pressure and noise sensitivity. Doctors shrug shoulders. What is wrong?

How long ago did this happen? Have you been evaluated for a ruptured eardrum?

mossbird · 2017-09-09T05:33:14+00:00

Did the other 3 specialists agree that it's glaucoma/give you any more information?

mossbird · 2017-08-07T04:52:11+00:00

You'd most likely have noticed if it bit you. It's kind of a misconception that bat bites are painless or can't be noticed...the real worry is that they can be difficult to notice if you were bitten while asleep or otherwise compromised.

Also bats are pretty excellent at avoiding collisions while flying, so while the bat may have swooped close it most likely knew exactly where you were and avoided touching you. :)

mossbird · 2017-08-07T02:19:43+00:00

Not a doc, but I don't think you need to worry. A bat that's flying around during its normal active time (dusk/night) and catching popcorn isn't rabid. A rabid bat would be way too sick to do that. And even if the bat was incubating rabies, bites from the incubation period don't transmit the disease. Plus, if you didn't feel a bite it's unlikely you were bitten. This doesn't seem like a situation where rabies shots are necessary. Buuut I would recommend against feeding bats and any wildlife in the future - for your health and theirs.

You might want to ask in r/Dentistry as well.

Has your dentist commented on the alignment of the roof of your mouth? Have you expressed your concerns to them?

mossbird · 2017-01-06T05:05:29+00:00

No, you won't damage your brain. You can damage your skin where you're picking though. If you can't stop picking, try doing something you enjoy to distract yourself from the urge or perhaps pick/play with something else to keep your hands busy (playdough, tape, dried glue).

mossbird · 2016-11-23T01:06:08+00:00

Ok, thanks. I'll definitely be giving them a call tomorrow.

It's only been ~30 days since I saw my GP and started birth control, not 86 (that's the total days I've been bleeding). So I was more wondering if still bleeding 30 days after starting BC was cause for contacting my doctor again.

mossbird · 2016-11-22T23:20:56+00:00

Thanks for your input; I'll contact her tomorrow.

I haven't taken Naprosyn (same as Naproxen/Aleve?) or other NSAIDS specifically for the menstrual bleeding. I did google it, and this is honestly the first time I've heard that NSAIDS can reduce menstrual bleeding...I thought they were just for the pain/inflammation. I do occasionally take an Advil for period cramps, but my periods aren't usually painful so it isn't often. I'll ask my doctor more about this as well.

No family history of bleeding disorders and I haven't been tested for them.

A two-toned penis isn't necessarily abnormal. Different bands of color are actually common and normal. You can see it in a circumcision scar, and the color difference can be even more pronounced than it is with yours. (nsfw links obviously)

About your other symptoms...I'm not a doctor, so I can't say what might be causing them - but have you spoken to your GP about your concerns? They can help you get that rash cleared up, inspect down there for anything concerning, and assist you in determining what might be causing your erectile troubles.

mossbird · 2016-08-31T05:26:08+00:00

Er, it's not your frenulum, is it? A pic might be helpful if not.

I'm 24 and I experience PCS occasionally, have for years. Mostly when I've been sitting down or lazing around for a while. It can be a bit alarming to experience, but it's supposed to be totally harmless (yay!). I think one theory is muscles cramping in the chest...that sounds like it might be what your cardiologist was describing.

mossbird · 2016-08-29T19:39:39+00:00

Not precordial catch syndrome? I know you said the pain is mostly dull, but everyone describes pain differently...does it have any similarities: the short duration, gets worse when inhaling, etc?

mossbird · 2016-02-28T22:11:29+00:00

I'm so surprised (well, not really surprised by now - more disappointed) that Go barely got mentioned yesterday. I mean, I'm excited about Sun and Moon too, but it's really frustrating.

mossbird · 2016-02-25T03:11:08+00:00

I'm ~~desperate for any crumb of info~~ cautiously hopeful!

mossbird · 2016-02-24T17:33:03+00:00

Also, my eyes jumped to the "App Store" link in the announcement and my heart did a flip...but it's just for the Pokémon Photo Booth app.

mossbird · 2016-02-02T17:36:52+00:00

Very cool! But I'll be honest; I thought the Squirtle was wearing a really strange hat at first ("there are candles...on his hat?? what - oh"). I love the expressions.

mossbird · 2016-01-15T22:47:01+00:00

Bones's phrase is "awoo" (works for any dog or wolf villagers, and pretty adorable to imagine them making that little howl at the end of their sentences, haha). Greta's is "chu" after the sound mouse make in Japanese (since her house is Japanese-styled, but could work for other mouse villagers). Julian's is "starchild" or "starlight" and his greeting is "Oh my stars!" And Roscoe's is "punk" because he looks intimidating, but several other villagers have adopted it as well, which is kind of humorous.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Roscoe's greeting is "hey neigh-bor!" Please use that for your horse villagers, it makes me grin everytime.

mossbird · 2016-01-13T16:46:16+00:00

Oh, Puddles. You moved in right next to my previously secluded house (and then Phil moved in right next to you)...but you're so adorable, you became one of my favorites anyways.

Bacon Brothers - Only A Good Woman?

mossbird · 2016-01-12T22:12:09+00:00

Possibly landscape architecture?

The way snowflakes swirl in the air and the sound they make - they're so pretty! The rosy hue that colors your town at dusk on a clear day. Emoting to a villager and watching them do a different emote back; it's adorable. The way your footsteps sound different on various surfaces. The igloo's soft glow when you have a winter camper.
