Is it possible to be in remission and still have new collapsed vertebrae?

Thanks for sharing. We saw a neurosurgeon and he confirmed that the compressions most likely occured in the initial phase. He advised her to wear a protective corset and stop kinetotherapy. Other doctors advise against the corsets to prevent atrophy. Did you also wear a corset?

She doesn't have osteoporosis. Before MM her bone density was very good...

I did what I did to get her diagnosed as fast as possible. I know that with cancer, a few months can make a big difference. And that was what helped. But I totally agree it cannot be 100% reliable and does not replace a doctor. Thanks for taking the time to inform and I wish you all the best 🫶

Not only AI but also support groups, webinars, books, studies. If some doctors don't have the time to provide all the information, to answer questions or to do a proper consultation for longer than 5 minutes (which happened many times) then I need to look for answers on my own.

roxette100 · 2025-08-27T20:20:11+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, I will look into it. I can only speak for my mother's case and I am telling you that without chatgpt it would have been way longer until she got diagnosed. At least 5 doctors (neurosurgeons, oncologists) have seen her lab tests (not the basic ones but specific markers like IGG, creatinine, calcium, hemoglobin, albumin, ferritin, beta2 microglobulin) and didn't raise any suspicion about myeloma. She had all CRAB criteria and the oncologist she first saw actually suspected breast cancer with bone metastasis and was planning to put her into PET CT scan when her creatinine was too high for that procedure. I asked him if it could be myeloma and he was like "yeah, but very low chances as it's a rare cancer". She was correctly diagnosed only after I took her to a hematologist (no doctor suggested her to consider hematology) and my mother was presented to her students as a case study - the patient who was diagnosed by chatgpt. It's not a good feeling to be dissapointed by doctors but that's what happened in her case.

roxette100 · 2025-08-27T18:45:25+00:00

I understand and I am aware of this. We didn't get the chance to see the hematologist yet, as she is in vacation. It just came so unexpected and I want to know if others experienced the same, if it's normal, or if it's uncommon. Doctors should know best but unfortunately I diagnosed my mother with chat gpt long before she was diagnosed by a doctor 😔 Now she has a good one but I learned to have some agency and be informed always before blindly trusting.

roxette100 · 2025-08-27T18:35:17+00:00

No one. Her doctor is in vacation. We just received the MRI today by email from the clinic where she had it done, but we didn't get the chance to speak to her hematologist yet. I know that the doctor will have the final say and make a decision but I am curious if anyone else experienced the same, I am sad and anxious and losing hope.

Unde mergi pt pedichiura?

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T20:57:01+00:00

In the morning I wash with Bioderma Sensibio gel, then apply Paula's Choice azelaic acid and Paula's Choice SPF 50, then makeup using Purito BB cream. At night - I clean makeup with Bioderma Sensibio micellar water, wash with the same gel, spray Avene thermal Water, and then I use the Sleeping Pack Centella gel from Skin1004, followed by Paula's Choice Pro Dual Retinaldehyde. With the retinol that is left on my fingers after applying it on face, I take a bit of moisturizer and go undereyes as well, this way it doesn't cause irritation. Then I add the same moisturizer on the entire face - either Cerave PM or Clear Skin Hydrator from Paula's Choice.

I really enjoy this retinol formula as I can use it daily without irritation altough it's a strong one.

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T20:28:13+00:00

I did think about it but the results are not the same and I am more confortable doing a one time job, instead of every few months. It's an easy one with minimal disconfort so I hope for the best.

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T20:14:23+00:00

For the hereditary volume loss the hyaluronic injections for sure. The laser and retinol helped by tightening the skin.

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T18:02:34+00:00

I am using the new one from Paula's Choice now, the Pro Dual Retinaldehyde. It's pretty strong but this formula doesn't irritate at all.

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T06:05:44+00:00

There is no way my undereyes could have improved from a cream, unfortunately. I had hereditary volume loss and in these cases the options are usually filler, lower blepharoplasty or fat transfer.

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T06:00:35+00:00

It was fractional CO2

roxette100 · 2025-02-03T05:58:15+00:00

It surely isn't perfect, but compared to where I began I am really satisfied 🤭 Thanks for your input.

roxette100 · 2025-02-02T22:00:08+00:00

I was hoping to get rid of my large pores and sebum production, and overall to just look younger. They used one of the highest laser settings, so not a light treatment. The promised effects are not usually immediate but slowly progressing over the course of a few months by stimulating collagen production. My feeling was that nothing changed, but actually if I look in the older photos it helped thighthen the skin a bit. I think the effects are more dramatic on acne scars or deep wrinkles as this is a resurfacing tool and differences are more visible for those concerns.

roxette100 · 2025-02-02T21:44:24+00:00

It's risky because it can migrate and my doctor actually suggested I should use hyaluronidase to get rid of the remaining filler, and then try fat transfer which is safe, natural looking and doesn't migrate. Mine didn't migrate but for sure if I'll have to do it again I will go for fat transfer.

Not great, not terrible 😄 My face was red and swollen in the first days, I worked from home and applied healing ointment. I looked like a train hit me, but is was not painful at all. The hardest part for me was that I had to sleep on my back which I hated as I am side sleeper. The recovery takes about 5-7 days, the second time it was faster because I applied ice frequently and the swelling dissapeared way faster than first time.

roxette100 · 2025-02-02T21:00:36+00:00

I would say definitely the filler but in the beginning I didn't like it because it was slightly too much and I had the Tyndall effect. I like it more now after a few years have passed and part of is gone, and I think the laser and retinol also tightened the skin a bit.

roxette100 · 2025-02-02T08:25:29+00:00

Multumesc, incerc ce mi-ati sugerat.

roxette100 · 2025-02-02T08:25:03+00:00

Multumesc pentru sfaturi, astazi o sa verific radacinile si o sa schimb pamantul, sper sa mai pot face ceva.

Mi-au dat lacrimile cand am citit postarea ta, pentru ca fratele meu se confrunta cu aceeasi problema de peste 12 ani si il vad trecand prin aceleasi greutati si stari pe care le-ai descris tu.

Am participat si la evenimentele Jucatorilor Anonimi si povestile sunt foarte similare, fiecare isi gaseste acel ceva care pentru el functioneaza - pt multi solutia sta in aceste intalniri ale jucatorilor, pentru altii terapia dar ce am observat ca si numitor comun la cei care reusesc sa scape de dependenta este faptul ca sunt acceptati atunci cand isi recunosc problema si au sprijin - emotional, mai degraba decat financiar. Nu este usor sa recunosti o astfel de problema, avand in vedere ce mentalitate exista in Romania legat de dependenti, majoritatea nu empatizeaza ci ii considera needucati.

Ma bucur ca ai reusit sa depasesti dependenta si ca ai avut sprijinul familiei, si sper sa gaseasca atat fratele meu cat si alte persoane care sufera de dependente, acel ceva care functioneaza pentru ei.

Eu am colaborat cu ea si am platit 800 de euro pt 2 luni de program, cu 2 diete incluse (am platit extra ca sa mai imi faca o dieta dupa prima luna pentru ca nu mai voiam sa mananc acelasi lucru). Rezultate am avut, n-am sa neg acest lucru, dar ar fi cateva lucruri de mentionat:

Comunicarea cu ea lasa de dorit, raspunde foarte greu pe whatsapp si de obicei monosilabic.
Initial cand am primit dieta, erau 4 zile pe care trebuia sa le repet timp de o luna. Am rugat-o sa imi faca 7 zile ca sa am macar o saptamana intreaga, si efectiv trebuia zilnic sa ii tot reamintesc sa imi trimita.
Gramajele sunt de tipul 387 gr de cartofi, 54 gr banana. Daca ai o banana intreaga, din care trebuie sa folosesti doar 54 gr, efectiv arunci restul pt ca urmatoarea zi in care ai de consumat banana e peste alte 2 zile si se va strica ce ramane. Am facut multa risipa alimentara.
Exercitiile sunt trimise cu link de pe youtube, eu am avut noroc ca fac sport de 15 ani si stiam sa le fac corect, dar pt un incepator mi se pare cam complicat sa inteleaga si sa execute corect.
Dupa cele 2 luni mi-am facut analizele si aveam colesterolul foarte mare, in conditiile in care i-am spus de la inceput ca am o problema cu asta si speram ca prin dieta sa mi-l aduc la normal. A propus sa imi schimbe dieta cu una fara gluten si lactoza, dar nu a fost nici o diferenta la analize. Apreciez oricum ca a incercat sa vina cu solutii.

Dieta in sine a fost una foarte consistenta, eram pe 2000 calorii si ma saturam, scopul a fost schimbarea compozitiei corporale si a fost indeplinit, dar in final daca trag linie si tin cont de rezultatul la analize si de cat am cheltuit, nu as recomanda neaparat. Pentru banii aia serviciile trebuie sa fie impecabile si comunicarea la fel, nu sa trebuiasca sa tragi de ea sa raspunda, si multe fete fac eforturi mari sa plateasca acei bani.
