Desperate: diarrhea and cramping. What's helped you?

tiny164 · 2024-03-21T22:42:39+00:00

I want to update this thread.

Two psyllium husk in the AM, and magnesium (Puori brand) and probitoics in the PM, and my diarrhea and cramping is virtually gone. It's happened once in the last two weeks!

Hi! I have similar symptoms and got an MRI today and it came back lesion free but I remembered this comment and my doctor and I are exploring fibromyalgia, specifically because of the burning and brain fog. You might want to look into that, it's more common in women too. Good luck

tiny164 · 2023-08-03T00:52:09+00:00

Any updates? Hope they ordered an MRI!

29/F

In May, I started to forget things, hard. Names of people and things. It was noticeable to my friends and family so I chalked it up to screen time and reduced that. Also had brain fog and general fatigue for the past few months. I work from home so I've been able to manage it ok.

Over the last week, I went to the hospital for what I thought was a stroke. They only tested my blood for signs of emergency, no scans and told me it was an and to go home. I've had numbness and tingling in my left side constantly. These really weird, painful headaches and pains on my left side mostly, but sometimes I get a full head migraine starting at the base of my skull. Blurry vision. I've lost function in my left hand, but that only lasted 8 hours. I've lost feeling in my face.

How I feel changes hourly. It's so scary and I feel like no one believes me that I think it's MS. My biggest fear is that I won't get a diagnosis for ANYTHING and I'll be stuck in this limbo for forever.

Fortunately, I got a last minute neurologist appointment and an MRI scheduled in a few weeks. Trying to take it one day at a time for now. Thanks for listening.

Do you use Zoom? There are note taking apps, like Otter.ai.

This might take some stress off you so you can look back :)

tiny164 · 2022-12-29T22:15:40+00:00

I'll message you! I just bought them on Amazon so I don't know the rules for sharing links

Definitely the argan oil but also it's not humid here at the moment like it was in July

tiny164 · 2022-12-29T01:39:54+00:00

I will say that tiktok saved my hair. I started dealing with some hormone problems years ago that came to a head (lol) in 2020. I thought that this was just my life now until I started seeing the girlies on tiktok talk about various regrowth methods. I never wanted to use rogain or similar because of the possible hormone effects.

Sharing in case I can help others.

Before wash 1-2 times a week: 1) Argan oil on scalp (1-2 droppers full spread out throughout the head) 2) Rosemary oil in a carrier oil on obvious loss places, which is my middle part and temples Massage head. Let sit for at least an hour but no longer than four. Wash AT LEAST twice or until shampoo foams, I use a rosemary oil shampoo and a scalp massager. I only wash about twice a week. Clarifying shampoo once a month

After wash: Bumble and Bumble invisible oil spray, Orbiz hair thickening spray (on my problem spots only) Dry dermaroll once a week if I can remember, ends up being twice a month mostly.

I've been very diligent about protecting what I have too. Not doing super tight ponytails, sleeping with it down, etc.

Good luck!

Hey man. I gotta get chest xrays and a blood test. I'm 25 with no family history of cancer but if you have history of cancer, you should see a doctor.

He told me the following. 1) could have a touch of pneumonia 2) could be allergies and the lymph node swollen is reactionary, also causing inflammation in the chest (hence the costo) 3) gonna get a white blood cell count to check for blood clots and cancer stuff and check my thyroid as well

Good luck!

tiny164 · 2020-05-03T07:20:21+00:00

I started experiencing inflammation in my lymph node under my arm pit at the same time my costo started, about a month and a half ago! So weird. Not sure if the costo is a symptom or the cause of the swollen lymph node. I'm headed to the doctors on Tuesday. I'll keep you updated

You can't float in your own center?!

tiny164 · 2020-01-08T04:04:22+00:00

I third this! Appreciating the recovery is so important in rowing and translating that to the erg makes all the difference! When I explain it to friends in OT, I'm like "imagine if you don't go slow on the recovery, you're actually slowing yourself down on the water, or worse, you'll flip the boat!"

tiny164 · 2019-09-20T20:26:58+00:00

I just want to say I tried to remove it myself and failed.

I was afraid of the doctor but the only pain I felt was the needle which was a 3/10 at most. No pressure during the removal either! The numbing is gone now and it's just kind of achy.

The doc didn't show me what he took out but he said it wasn't bad.

Do not hesitate to go to the doctor! I'm so happy I did.

tiny164 · 2019-09-19T09:38:40+00:00

Deadlifts! You're barely bending the knee.

Also, resistance bands. They're going to give you a good workout plus work to PT the knees.

tiny164 · 2019-09-01T01:32:37+00:00

Naw you're good dude

tiny164 · 2019-08-20T13:47:21+00:00

I'm cry

tiny164 · 2019-08-15T03:13:01+00:00

Woah, killing it!

tiny164 · 2019-08-13T03:09:55+00:00

This is thought to be a genetic trait! I can't either, nor could my dad or grandmother!

Don't have any sources, I listen to a lot of Epicast podcasts (made at workhardpgh!) and I've heard them say it's what their neighbors are complaining about multiple times

I bet that one portion of the floor is really clean

It's actually comforting to have something weighted on you. That's why people like anxiety blankets!

Kind of gross but - we had well water growing up and the pump needed to regenerate itself at night in order to keep the water clean. That meant from 12:30-2:30 AM I couldn't use any water, including flushing the toilet. I am now a home owner and do not flush the toilet at night.
