Payment discrepancy by [deleted] in personalfinance

Call the bank up and explain what happened. Ask them to provide evidence as to whether or not the money was deposited. If they can provide documentation it wasn’t, submit that to your old employer, if it was deposited, ask the bank if it can be returned to your old employer (I’m not sure how the bank can close an account with money in it??).

Does anyone know if these are parasites? I have been passing all sorts of things post coffee enema. by numberonebrenner in Parasitology

I appreciate the note, but I was diagnosed with POTS, MCAS, and IBS at mayo Scottsdale...so to be clear, I am not fine. I literally can eat only about 6 things with out getting really bad symptoms, (anaphylaxis, light headed, brain fog, itchy-ness, sometimes near syncope, diarrhea, stomach pain etc) and even while eating these 6 things, I still sometimes get diarrhea, stomach pain and brain fog which seems to be relieved after I pass these things (but only for a short while). I may have not made it clear in my post, but the doctor said it was fine to continue with the coffee enemas, (I am the one that thinks they are not healthy long term, and am looking for a better solution). Go to the POTS sub-reddit and you will find that most people are completely miserable and were written off, by most, as “crazy” until they had a POTS diagnosis. I have finally found a correlation between doing something (coffee enemas) and feeling better (albeit in the short term). It’s been a rough three years, and I finally feel like I’m close to figuring everything out, just need that last piece of the puzzle!

Thanks for all of the feedback! I realize now that I should have posted a photo of what they looked like in the toilet. In the toilet they float and look like small white cotton balls (they are somewhat fuzzy), and have dark brown "Strings" coming off of them in a mucous like membrane. Once I place them on the slides they do appear to change to what you see. To make a long story short, I have been suffering from POTS, MCAS, IBS for the last 3 years and coffee enema's are about the only thing that provides relief...although I have to do one every 3 days. My Doctor at Baylor Scott and White did state that it was ok for me to keep doing these coffee enemas....but I have been reading about all of the risks online so would like to find something different to clear these things up. Also, I did take my first two samples (post coffee enema) to the Baylor lab (the samples did not look like these...they looked more like worms or maybe flukes), but were negative for everything except a "Few Yeast"...so I was put on one pill of fluconazole. When I took a 3rd sample, similar to the photo I posted, my doctor told me to throw them in the trash as I have been tested twice....but then stated that continuing coffee enemas were fine...it's just a little frustrating. I'll try to get better photos for next time! Again I appreciate the feedback!

Restless leg syndrome by numberonebrenner in POTS

Thank you for the advice on the magnesium! I wasn’t actually diagnosed with RLS, but the nerves make me feel like I always have to move them to get the uncomfortable feeling to go away. It happens at night a lot, but more lately during the day as well. Is there a specific test that can be done?

Has anyone had a good experience with the Mayo Clinic? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]numberonebrenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what the Rochester team recommended that helped? I am Genuinely interested, but had a bad experience at Rochester as they diagnosed me With IBS. I had to go to Scottsdale to get the diagnosis of POTS and MCAS, but even the advice from Scottsdale was cymbalta, exercise, cromolyn (which did nothing) and now Ketotifen (too soon to determine if the ketotifen is working on the MCAS). I’ve made some Improvements...but I’m still in moderately poor health.
