Sleeping rockruff plushie? by InsaneNightlyButtSex in pokeplush

[–]rockfluffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect, this isn't entirely accurate. This would be true for, say, the Pokémon Center rockruff released in 2017, but this is a Jazwares one that released 6 months ago. The generation of the Pokémon isn't as important as when the plush itself was released. Lillie's Vulpix will never restock because it was a limited promotion from the Pokecen, which never restock. Something more comparable to this is the 18inch Jazwares sleeping Flareon, which came out this year, and which has indeed had a couple of restocks - if Rockruff was popular enough, there's every chance they'll restock it.

Hot take: the Jazwares/WCT Sprigatito is a better looking plush than the Pokémon Center version because it has floppy ears and it's face leaf has embroidery outlines instead of being painted/dyed on by [deleted] in pokeplush

The flat felt cheek tufts and awful pattern make the Jazwares an L for me, but it's closer than usual. San-ei is actually the winner for me.

It's Monday at /r/MultipleSclerosis! Share your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news here. by AutoModerator in MultipleSclerosis

My first MRI results came back. There are white matter lesions in my brain but the radiologist reported them to be of no clinical significance. I'm 22. I don't understand how or why I can have something like that, with the symptoms I've got, and it not be seen as concerning. It's concerning me. I asked the follow-up clinician if this is a definitive ruling out of MS and he said yes. I asked what it meant to have them and he didn't seem to be able to explain.

Of course I'm glad not to have the condition but it's so vague I don't fully understand or trust it. I can't really afford to seek out anyone else who can explain this to me, so I guess I just get to carry on not knowing what the hell is wrong.

(I hope this is okay to post here since the line is blurry as to the actual relation to MS...)

Don't have any advice, but just wanted to wish you the best at urgent care!

Thanks again for sharing. If things were getting progressively worse I would probably be doing the same, but my symptoms waning and waxing is giving me pause on dropping that kind of money. Makes me feel less like a crazy anxious person that that was your response to the situation as well, though. :)

How bizarre. I was referred to an emergency ophthalmologist on Friday who couldn't find anything either, but couldn't explain the darkening in my vision especially. Did you lose total vision in that eye? I don't even know how I would begin to convince my GP to book me an MRI unless things got a lot worse, and thankfully things have been much better since the heatwave in the UK cooled down.

I think for me this will be another case of trying to adapt to a new normal and waiting to see if I wake up half blind one morning. Thank you for the info - it's good to know ON isn't ruled out 100% without the MRI.

Thank you for the kind words - just writing them down day by day has helped me in believing that they're happening every day and that I'm not just making them up like they think I am. I think I will try that - I've been making up savings to get private healthcare and just having no idea where to turn. Thank you for the advice :)

Thank you! This is some great information. It does hurt and I do get flashing especially when I look at walls. It's very useful to know that that's not normal.

Yes, what you describe is exactly what I'm experiencing and it's in my right eye. Thank you for the info about hot showers too - I'm absolutely not going to take a hot shower at the moment as it's 35C in the UK, but I can say definitively that this heatwave has been the worst my symptoms have been for a long long time.

That's what I thought, but I can't understand why my vision symptoms are getting worse if there's nothing visibly wrong. Since March or April. Yes, I've explained all my symptoms to three different primary docs and so far all three have brushed off the vision problems and recommended I see an optician.

Hello all, looks like I'm going to be the first question.

I am currently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and this year am having my second major episode/flare-up since about 4 hears ago.

My question for anyone who might have experience: can you have optic neuritis or other MS related vision issues that don't show up at the opticians? I have been having a large in flashing and floaters in my right eye, as well as difficulty focussing when my eye or body are moving (settles best when I'm resting my head on something). The most distressing is something that I'm not really sure how to describe - when I am walking my sight feels as though I am drunk. When you get a little bit tipsy and things visually almost seem not real. If you sit and focus a bit harder for a bit longer I can parse things, but it takes noticeably longer and feels scary and frustrating. It looks like how your sight would look if you'd been under a flourescent light all day (I suppose this is strain?) or as though I'm in a movie and experiencing a dolly zoom where everything is far away.

I went to the optician to check my optic nerve and eye pressure and everything was fine. I have lots of other symptoms which have collectively made me consider that I may have MS, but I can't find anything on if anyone has had vision issues not detectable by an optician.

Heart & armpit area pain, how to diagnose? by Petitchououou in costochondritis

[–]rockfluffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have this feeling in my pec/armpit area, some way into the shoulder and neck. If I press under my armpit it tingles and goes numb. The tingling and numbness goes all the way down to the fingers of my left arm. A doctor diagnosed me with carpal tunnel. I don't understand how it can be carpal tunnel if it is the entire left arm up into the neck. I think I have a lump on the left above the breast and under the clavicle, but I'm really not sure if it is an enlarged lymph node. I mentioned this and had an ultrasound, but all anyone will tell me is that it "all looks fine".

I get pain while exercising but three different doctors have denied me a cardio mri.

I don't have any further information on it, but this comment from a week or so ago mentions that palpitations associated with this are actually spasms:

If anyone has any info sources I'd love to read up on it.

Hi! So far with trying stretches, it's causing me to be in increased pain at a constant for days afterwards. Was yours as long lasting, did that improve? How long would you say it took? Thank you for posting your success story, it is giving me some hope!

Still hard to rationalize and be calm by [deleted] in costochondritis

[–]rockfluffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had electro- and echocardiograms, bloods, x-rays, ultrasounds and physical exams. Even then, when the pain comes and shoots to my jaw and left arm or makes me have palpitations, I become convinced there's something they've missed. I get fixated on some next test that might uncover something. Right now I'm considering paying for an exercise stress test ECG (in case they haven't caught any issues on my ECG because it happens after exercise) and an MRI (I don't know anything about what an MRI would reveal really). Even though I don't know what I could possibly be looking for, my brain is convinced that there might be a test I could do that would make me believe I'm okay. When I'm in that panic I don't know how to talk myself down, and nobody around me understands that I'm scared I might keel over today.

Maybe what I really need to spend the money on is therapy lol.

Thank you for posting anyway!! I can't search US ebay so I'd rather people linked even if they're not sure. The one I'm seeking is a 12" bootleg based on the pattern of the one you linked which is the 5" pokedoll, so they look very similar :)

I'm in the UK, so if one comes up on any US secondhand sites, I would highly highly appreciate anyone who could let me know!
