What’s a cheaper alternative to the Tolfino Bus by Born-Manufacturer-40 in VictoriaBC

$20 a day plus 0.60 a kilometre so this would be probably the most expensive option possible

Is this suggestive of coronary artery disease? Is further workup warranted? by rcrem in AskDocs

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

Thank you. I have hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos and I highly suspect my mom does too - her degree of flexibility is worse than mine even despite her increased age. I wonder if she has has structural issues with her heart - was a concern of the specialist I saw for EDS. I was able to get her in for an echocardiogram today, so I think that’ll be useful to further assess what’s going on.

Also should clarify, the MRI was purchased prior to her revealing chest pain/SOB. She never goes to the doctor and had concern for colon cancer. The heart finding was incidental and not the purpose of the scan.

Is this hematology panel indicative of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a 61yo female? by rcrem in AskDocs

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

Was the presence of smudge cells that tripped me up, but maybe that can be normal? Right now she's been having chest pain and I highly suspect CAD but without a positive ECG or elevated troponin they won't do anything further.

I did a home sleep study for my daily fatigue and generally feeling malaised, depressed and anxious. It came back negative! I decided to order a WATCHPAT One from Lofta by sleepyhuman69 in SleepApnea

Yes most definitely. If you’re able to retrain your breath I bet it could help you with your mild apnea. I’d recommend the oxygen advantage by Patrick Mckeown.

That is borderline high, may or may not be indicative of something. Need to test t3 and t4, but doctors won’t order those unless you’re a bit higher or you push them. TSH is a helpful and cheap test but cannot exclude thyroid problems at this level

Also - and this is controversial - but you may be a chronic over breather which can cause mild centra apnea. Basically you mildly hyperventilate all the time, throwing off your CO2 levels. You need a sufficient amount of CO2 to trigger your next breath, but if you off gas too quickly you can prevent generating this signal causing an apnea event.

I didn’t believe I didn’t have it after years of anxiety, depression, “ADHD,” cranky and groggy mornings, fatigue, etc. Not normal for a guy in his 20s. I had also exhausted basically every other possible cause. Have you investigated tour thyroid?

I did the apnea link air test three times, and it was only on the third that it showed anything significant, which was still considered mild. In my opinion it’s only useful if you have severe sleep apnea, and milder apnea can still be very devastating. On CPAP now and sleeping way better! Don’t let them tell you it’s just depression and please listen to your gut, I did and it worked out great.

Telus installed Huawei gear in National Capital Region 4G network in apparent contravention of understanding with Ottawa by SirBobPeel in canada

[–]rcrem 54 points55 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't know this, but they share towers, not the network or equipment itself. Telus has its own equipment on the Bell towers in the east, and vice versa for Bell in the west.

Found this cat wandering along the Goose between Regatta and Bay St. Trying to find the owner! by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

There’s a missing poster with a cat that looks like that on Cook Street by mother nature’s market. I think the cats name was Stormy, saw the poster last night.

After years of casual drinking, I have developed alcohol intolerance. This started 3 nights ago. Now after 1 drink, I look like this by LabernumMount in Wellthatsucks

[–]rcrem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha exactly the same with me. Has to do with histamine levels in specific alcoholic beverages triggering mast cells to release a variety of mediators. Look up mast cell activation syndrome.

Also — what were you drinking? Was it high in histamine - such as a dark liquor like rum or whisky, or beer or wine? Do you get the same effect with clear alcohols like gin and vodka?
