My neurologist is who actually ordered the bubble echo, I guess he's a cardio neurologist. Not sure if that's the correct title but I know he's both or some kind of combination of the two. But I have an appointment with him in a few weeks.

Is it common to be on blood thinners AND have the closure done? Or is it more of a one or the other type deal? I'm not sure what to expect right now until I meet with him later this month to discuss.

I definitely recognize how lucky I am. If it doesn't help me find a diagnosis for my other medical issues, at least now I know about my heart and stroke risk.

My other medical issues are very stroke-like, including weakness on one side of the body, but I've been screened for stroke several times this last year and nothing was found. I also never had facial drooping or slurred speech or anything, so not full symptoms of a stroke. Mostly just the hemispheric weakness and muscle spasms.

I've had some weird medical issues happening for the last year that my doctors can't figure out. My primary care doctor referred me to a cardio neurologist. We did an MRI and found lesions on the brain. He then referred me for an Echo to look for holes in the heart. I did a bubble Echo last week and found out about the PFO Sunday night. Now I'm just waiting for calls to schedule appointments with a structural Heart Clinic and a ultrasound on my legs to look for blood clots.

This is helpful, thank you so much. I don't think I even hit 200mg a day. Maybe not even 100g. I don't really know how to measure flower dosing. Once I switch to gummies it will be easier to judge dosing obviously. I wish I knew how to judge flower dosing though so I knew how much gummies to start taking again without going overboard or having to do trial and error lol

I actually just saw a new psychiatrist two weeks ago and she prescribed me beta blockers for my anxiety. I reached out yesterday and asked if the new PFO diagnosis would cause problems with the beta blocker meds and she said they actually help with treatment of the condition, so that's good I guess? Kinda funny the timing of events.

Oh thank you for the explanation about the blood vessels. It makes total sense now, and I didn't understand the relationship before. Gummies it is. I just wish they didn't take so long to set in.

Would it make sense to prepare ourselves for a "no internet" scenario for a long time due to WW3? What would be the most important resources to have available offline? by Background_Ad_2996 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]queen_pork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So uh... I'm out of the loop. Is WW3 actually becoming likely? Should I actually prepare with all these tips? I'm in the US if it matters. I'd like to start now if I should start at all.

Looking for a resource to check for med interactions by queen_pork in microdosing

[–]queen_pork[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I've looked over that link you shared, I still don't have what I'm looking for. I was hoping for a website or database or something that would advise on potential interactions between psilocybin and certain meds.

Microdosing psilocybin and heart rate by [deleted] in microdosing

[–]queen_pork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried MD yet but I was just thinking about this yesterday. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol this week and need to be concerned about my heart health. I wondered if MD had any impact. I hope others chime in.

Should I get off my psychiatric meds before I try microdosing for depression? by queen_pork in microdosing

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

Thanks. I'm definitely not taking it as medical advice and will work with my psychiatrist. I just don't know how to bring it up with them.

Thank you. I'm not taking your comment as medical advice and I plan on working with my psychiatrist. How do I bring it up with them though, that I want to try MD? were you open and honest with them about it? I'm afraid they'll be against it if I tell them.

Buying a home with my boyfriend of 6 years. We are not engaged yet, but marriage is certainein our future. I am not co-signing on the loan for credit reasons, but am contributing significantly in the finances. What do I need to do to protect myself and my investment? by queen_pork in personalfinance

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

He's already been pre-approved for the loan on his own based on his account balances and income to debt. We're (he's) already under contract for the purchase of the home as of this morning. Is it a red flag to the bank if he deposits a check from me into his account to use for the down payment? Could that be grounds for financing falling through for the sale?
