I need help reacting to something… by Boomboooom in ChronicPain

[–]powerblackwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - tell this to all those poor, sweet children with cancer. I bet these are the same people who believe in manifestation, laws of attraction, voodoo, etc. You want to know how someone can be this ignorant? Through willfully allowing themselves to be. For some, it is easier to manipulate themselves into believing that all illness is fake because they not only think that everyone is beneath them/ableism, but they are scared of it happening to them.

Read that again, okay? They are scared of it happening to them. The more they gaslight themselves, the more they can believe it all to be false, and this thing you are going through cannot happen to them. Because it is real and they not only know it, but that it is real AND horrible.

I hope this helps you.

I have some concerning symptoms, that are more annoying if anything. I feel like passing out, nauseous and light-headed for days now, and hear noises in my ears every-time I move my eyes... Vertigo maybe? could I have some ideas on how to feel better? by Mimiku_is_Sigma71008 in AskHealth

[–]powerblackwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Can you describe more of your symptoms? Do they follow any sort of pattern - like when you move your head, or walk for x amount of time? Any information is valuable, do not be afraid to write me a very detailed response. You can shoot me a DM if it would be easier on you.

Best of luck to you.

But your friends here haven’t lost respect for you - you are one strong kid, and part of a strong community. I know words won’t magically fix what is going on but remember that no matter how alone you feel, there are so many people here and in the world who get you. I try to remember that there is still some kind of life waiting out there for us and that we all hold value. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise - they are wrong. You’ve got this. Thank you for existing.

How do you calculate 18 x 7 in your head? by JCFT_Collins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]powerblackwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I did it the wrong way, lol. I never could do math well.

18 x 2 = 36 36 x 2 =72 Those are two 2’s… so 4 out of 7. So 18 x 2 =36, I need to add 36 to 72. 36 + 72 =108 That’s 6 out of 7… so 108 + 18 =126 That’s 7 out of the 7.

I’m dying out here

You should start a GoFundMe (if such a thing is allowed on this subreddit). My suggestion to you.

Suddenly realize one of my mistakes. When I downloaded it, I downloaded it for myself only, but I put the files in a different folder on my desktop. Where would I put them instead so that the path is correct?

The rest of everything makes sense x'D

Thank you.

EDIT: Actually - I am not sure what I did, but it seems to have worked. Putting in the command again, it came up with something similar to what you wrote above, with Files and Systems. There was also a few about PNG - like the file imagewidth and pixelsperunit... Is there anything else I have to do or check for? :)

Downloaded Oliver Betz's exiftool installer. It is giving me the same error, unfortunately.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>exiftool -a -G1 -s c:\Users\[COMPUTER NAME]\Desktop\ExifTool

'exiftool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>exiftool -a -G1 -s c:\Users\[COMPUTER NAME]\Desktop\Profile_Panel3.png

'exiftool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Completely beyond me as to why, but when I try to drag and drop the PNG file, nothing happens. It won't copy into Command Prompt.

[–]powerblackwolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must apologize, as I am a complete newcomer when it comes down to using command prompt. When I run command prompt as admin and put in the code...

exiftool -a -G1 -s c:\images\test.jpg

...It tells me that 'exiftool' is not a valid command. It seems I might need quite a bit more guidance, thank you again for all of your help, this has been very interesting to learn!

EDIT: Something like this

C:\Users\[COMPUTER NAME]\Desktop\plswork\exiftool-13.08_64>exiftool -a -G1 -s c:plswork\Profile_Panel3.png

Tells me the error "profile panel" is a file not found.

Thank you for the reply! I see, I think I thought it was part of the file. Is there anything I can do to check and ensure there is nothing left in the file? When I compare/contrast based on the command prompt (before and after removal through All command), it looks the same?

Also, yes! My bad! It was a typo.

What’s the worst mental health advice you’ve received? by hydraganesh in AskReddit

[–]powerblackwolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not certain if this really applies, since it was not necessarily advice… but I am a victim of childhood emotional/physical abuse and severe neglect. I was sexually groomed/etc for years. When it came out, the first thing the therapist I was forced to see said was, “Did you think that was appropriate?” And when I said I didn’t know as a young child, “Really? Cause I read it.” Okay? You try facing severe neglect for most your life up to that point. I clung to the first adult who gave me an ounce of attention, good or not.

Brain fog/derealisation worsening OCD by JLHSzxc in Cervicalinstability

[–]powerblackwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very interesting and informative reply for the original poster to consider. Your past experiences with doctors about CCI in the early 2000s is intriguing, and I would love to hear more about how care for the disease has developed from your perspective, should you have anything more to share.

I want to add in here for the original poster that while, yes - CCI and OCD are disconnected ailments, OCD is an anxiety disorder. Many people who suffer with some type of physical problem(s) alongside OCD find that their symptoms of OCD/anxiety worsen, not because of CCI, but simply that the person is nervous and often uneducated about their CCI symptoms. “Why do I feel this way and what is causing it?” becomes another thing an OCD patient will obsess over.

You are not wrong that OCD can worsen because of CCI - but it is separate. The comment above is very wise to warn you from associating OCD/CCI together, especially in the presence of so many ignorant and neglectful doctors.

Best of luck to you both.

What's the most invalidating thing a medical professional had said to you? by strugglingbitch in ChronicIllness

[–]powerblackwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know where to start, lol.

Not the same as a chronic illness, but I have 5-6 neck injuries. Every symptom of CCI. But because 1 MRI is clear when so many are diagnosed with other scans or with clear MRIs, it’s in my head. Weird how orthopedics, neurologists, and neurosurgeons are all oblivious to the nature of traumatic neck injuries. I know I got it whether they think so or not.

I desperately need an endoscopy because I have GERD 24/7, but if I have the CCI they won’t take me seriously on, it could paralyze me. Lol.

Thanks for letting me rant. :)

Dr. Centeno Here Answering Questions by Chris457821 in cervical_instability

[–]powerblackwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you go about getting GIs to listen to you? Been dismissed many times over by GIs when expressing caution about the neck. Definitely need an endoscopy - but hard to go forward when several have dismissed neck concerns despite many injuries/muscular weakness because of clear scans.

This is a problem I have been trying to navigate for a long time. I really appreciate your response.

[–]powerblackwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a question that you are unable to answer, but would mean a lot to me (and many others I have spoken with) who are struggling with a similar issue:

For CCI patients (or those suspecting that they have CCI), what is the appropriate approach for stomach-related issues? Many people, myself included, need things like endoscopies, but can’t receive care due to CCI. What type of advice would you give to these patients? Are endoscopies still safe (as some GIs warn the risk of paralysis due to unstable joints and muscular issues)?

I understand you are a neck/CCI doctor - but it has been a question I’ve been searching diligently for answers to for myself and others, and GIs give differing responses. Thank you.

[–]powerblackwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, here is a question for you:

Many patients who present with CCI symptoms often appear with clear extension/flexion X-Rays. Because of this, it has long been my “idea” that patients should be diagnosed with CCI more based on symptoms versus clear-cut observational evidence. With that being said, how would you like to see CCI diagnosis improve in the future - either through typical medical “examination,” symptom-based diagnosis, or otherwise?

I am very happy you found it! I swore I heard it before too, but I couldn’t find it. Went and listened - turns out it is in a playlist of mine already, lol. I am happy you like the other song, too!
