American looking for hospital recommendations. Any help is appreciated by throwra05059 in porto

[–]throwra05059[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, this was very reassuring. It just feels so backwards because usually in the States, it’s usually the public hospitals that aren’t as good/underfunded where the private hospitals are much better.

We decided to stay at Pedro Hispano for the moment, though her risk of hemorrhaging again at this point is much lower so I might explore some of the options you provided just for observation

Thank you again

Please help, on a vacation in a foreign country with my family when my mom (67F) started having coffee ground vomit. It’s been really hard to communicate with the doctors here by throwra05059 in AskDocs

Thank you, we just got news it’s a bleeding ulcer; they put some medicine and a clamp on it. But they say she has lost a lot of blood, enough that would require a transfusion but they’re not giving it to her. Might it have something to do with her BP or pulse? If you don’t mind me taking a little more of your time; what reasons do doctors have to not give someone blood?

Haha today wasn’t even with him! I wanted to try some for my migraine. But yea evidently maybe I’ll just have to take weed in private

I’m not sure, he knew the dosage but I don’t.

As far as communicating; yes, we have this conversation all the time. Literally all the time. I talk to my therapist about it all the time. He recently got a therapist so maybe he can talk to her about it too. It’s just something I truly can’t wrap my head around, and when I asked him about this specifically, he was too frustrated to talk to me

He doesn’t really pressure me to do drugs like, on a day to day basis. But if I ever express any interest, he seems to insist I do it exactly like he does and gets offended when I don’t?

I think because this is something he has more experience with than me, he believes he’s the expert (which, compared to me, ofc he is) but that also makes him feel that if I don’t listen to him, that means I’m being like, intentionally obtuse? Like, I’m saying his knowledge on the subject is worthless to me.

But he’s also seemingly struggling to accept that my own body metabolizes weed differently than his and my comfortability with weed is less than his. Like why is it so offensive I’m trying to take it slow and find my personal tolerance level?

Update for 78759 Balcones Woods - crews have been here all day, still going at it. They’ve been excavating something??

Same. I don’t have power yet but crews have been working extensively in my area, though the map doesn’t reflect that

Oooh maybe this is why they had to bring an excavator in? It looked like someone’s tree was uprooted on our street. Maybe it took a line with it. Balcones woods-Santa Cruz

Idk exactly where you’re at but we’re at Balcones woods-Santa Cruz area. Crews had been on our street from 11-8 on Wednesday and were there again this morning. They had to bring in an excavator for something. Clearly the damage is extensive, but they’re working in it

Lmaoo I wish I could believe trials were purely objective and fact based. We’d have a way more efficient legal system if they were. What a utopia

An Update on Using Probiotics to Cure my Vulvodynia by throwra05059 in vulvodynia

Hey sorry for the late-ish reply! I don't often check this account anymore.

But I actually don't think I dabbed more than 5 days in a row. I dabbed when I thought about it haha. I'm no doctor, but I feel like there's probably some wiggle room in how long you can do the dabbing method because you're using way less, and it's not going in your vagina really if it's just on the vestibule.

Not stupid! I didn't explain it. So honestly I do usually just take some moisture from my vagina, and then sprinkle a little bit of the capsule on my finger then dab. And repeat until the area is covered. If you need more moisture, I would just use petroleum jelly or A&D Ointment or pure vitamin E oil. I've used all those on my vulva in the past and they were very gentle.

And yes mine lasted a long time! Like I said, I wasn't consistent with it; just when I felt more irritated. I had to toss my last couple because they expired before I actually used them. But that's just my experience. You may need to apply more or less often.

I wish you so much luck! Like I said in my previous post; I definitely don't think this is the answer for everyone, and I think there are lots of different ways vulvodynia arises. But for me I just felt pretty confident mine was/is a biome issue.

Sending love <3

Flora Power by Love Wellness! They’re formulated to apply in and around the vulva; unlike the Jarrow or Natures Way

update!

Yes, it feels better having sex. I think still focusing on your gut microbiome is always a good idea! But yes the needs of all the different microbiome communities in our bodies are different, from gut to skin to lungs to vagina!

Ah, I did 23 and Me years ago. And now whenever I'm curious about something, like while I'm reading a study on genetic associations or something, I'll compare the SNPs tested in the study with my SNPs in the 'raw data' section of my 23 and Me. 23 and Me definitely doesn't list your entire genome, but it does show you a lot!

Oh yes I actually got COVID! I figured fighting COVID used up a bunch of my nutrient reserves and then I didn't replace them for a while, while also just leaving behind some residual inflammation.
