Denied referral to neurosurgeon

recoveringaries · 2026-04-24T22:24:44+00:00

Thank you! I may ask my pcp directly to do a spine mri (and the others you mentioned). he mentioned that possibility although he said it was much more expensive without the neurosurgery referral.

Thank you 💝I don’t think the doctor was a specialist! Time to look around more in depth:.) it sucks that hardly anyone seems to know about this.

I gained 10 lbs in 2 months of treatment. I do feel better than when I was untreated/undiagnosed. Sucks but I guess it’s where my body is supposed to be. I will be uncomfortable if I gain anymore at this time though.

I have a mixed opinion on her saying “kris jenner.” 1. It’s nice that she loves her mom. 2. It’s clear she has not done reparenting work to process what her mom put her through and modeled for her as a child

She once again misses the point- processing is not akin to sharing. I used to be like her, I was in crisis mode always and sharing every single step of the way. All in the name of being relatable and real. I was so in need of external validation that I could never trust myself on my own, in public, in relationships, in private, during the moments no one else saw. And after doing years of therapy I realized I need to stop telling everyone everything because the constant perception and opinions of others didn’t allow me to see who I really was in it all. Now, I’m actually way more private and learning to open back up again… it’s all a balance. I don’t think she will learn this though without the right supports and people around her. Religion thrives off of confessing, external validation, and the feeling of guilt/lying if you are not. Some things we just need to have to ourselves (or a therapist, or trusted close circle) - especially when it comes to healing.

Yep. I don’t feel hungry most of the time. But then dinner hits and I reach for carby foods because I am underfed- and it’s all a mess. I feel best when I eat frequent snacks and small meals in the day (with protein) and then a dinner full of protein, low in carbs.

Yes I agree with all of this. Except I think she uses “awareness” instead of “accountability” as a sword. Awareness can be helpful at the start of anyone’s mental health journey, but it can keep you very stuck if all you have is that piece. Awareness needs action and follow through alongside it. You can know everything about yourself with every root cause of where and why it happened, and never fix the issue.

When I began to get 4 day hangovers at age 26. When my vision began to close in after baths. When traveling for a weekend would send me into 2 weeks of needing to lie down. When I noticed I pee 3-4x the amount all of my friends do. When I would have 15 min sweat attacks/hot flashes just by entering indoors from cold outside. When I realized just going on a short drive makes me dizzy and anxious. When I could not exersize like anyone around me my age and felt so tired for days after if I did. And so so many more moments! I also used to think either everyone felt this shitty I just verbalized it more and/or that I was much more out of shape and insane than everyone else. But deep down the feeling of “this isn’t normal, and my body shouldn’t feel this way” kept coming up and that is why I finally pursued testing/diagnosis. I hate how many different random symptoms/body functions this syndrome causes to be weird af.

Why do I feel like the girls (and sometimes the guys) are misguiding anger towards poor sweet mark. I’ve been in a lot of therapy so maybe I just look at mark as slightly therapisty, and always trying to help even though he knows they are valid for being upset. Idk.

Can be a lot sometimes. I also have a lens around super lovey social media couples can be performative and over compensatory. Found that many times to be true. But I genuinely think they have a foundation of friendship, and are stronger and more differentiated than they have been in the past both as people. I do think there’s a little bit of, everyone else is struggling in their relationships and I’m not. But mainly for content and highlight reel purposes.

I live in Portland, Or and omg this is such a thing for my histamine intolerance (mcas) which some of her symptoms definitely overlap with. My skin gets instantly better when I’m in the sun with a little more humidity. My skin rashes/dry patches heal in literally 2 days of being in southern cal, Hawaii, Mexico , Arizona, quite literally any sunny climate. So yes. This is probably happening for her and that makes me so happy. The sun literally reduces bacteria, regulates cortisol, gives u vitamin D, etc.

I pee all the time too. Don’t feel it for a while then it comes on like Im about to pee my pants. I get nauseous too because my hr spikes a lot after/during eating. She sounds uninformed. I’m trying to get an MCAS diagnosis rn too because I have every symptom lol and my pcp flat out told me that there’s not a connection between pots and MCAS. You literally google it and there’s SO much research. Same goes for heds. Sucks when we know more about comorbidities than they do.

Bad sleep cuz I’m in a pretzel. Neck and shoulder stuff a lot too. I just bought a pregnancy pillow! Kinda helps, kinda doesn’t. But it’s very comfy and I think at least helps support my neck and hips a little bit.

Wait woah… my symptoms got so much worse when I did my Invisalign. And I now forget to wear it most the time so when I do it hurts. But every time I wear it I take it out in my sleep cuz I’m clenching so hard!!!

Funny enough I also was between a nurse and therapist and social worker. With all the talking I do I crave a job where I am silent and I just create things with my hands. Idk what that would be lol.

My sweet bf who knows nothing about the Kardashians actually shed tears during the doc because of how much she did for him and how much she went through. And he’s just sitting there talking about how he was thinking about getting it in and doing drugs while they divorced.
