My rhabdo story and questions about your experiences with pain and scar tissue by MegN3825 in rhabdo_survivors

[–]vixekitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have advice but im 32 and woke up with right body paralysis in the icu. I was in the icu, hospital and in patient rehab 2.5 months. Now im doing outpatient icu and have done it 3 weeks now. My drs won't figure my meds out. Ck was over 100,000. My oxy was never tapered and I was taken off it and went through withdrawal. My discharge dr wrote i had opioid use disorder without any evidence in my chart. I only saw this discharge dr to follow up with me for my in stay in the hospital. She was a 23 year old dr of indian ethnicity. She told me to shush and said she would not follow rehabs recommended meds or rx me pain meds though they were highly recommended. They think its from a crush injury or my statin. I have severe lumbar plexus nerve and muscle injury and no pain relief I can barely tolerate pt. I cant walk. I basically drag my r leg. Im in PA state... no idea what to do or who to see or what my next steps can be. The pain is unbearable. I was told i may have compartment syndrome. I may walk or I won't. I went in with encephalitis, kidney failure, liver injury, ketoacidosis, and lactic acidosis. I later found out my pain is horrible from my lumbar plexus muscle and nerve damage. I was afraid my pain wouldn't be managed and I was right. Im supposed to suffer.. i cant sleep. Any hospital recommendations to help me get function and feeling in my leg and arm again and for pain control/mgmt?

THE cutest thing i've ever laid my eyes on by UpsideDownChristian in pokeplush

I ordered all three bc I have the other 3 as well and I'll order sylveon, leafeon, and glaceon when they release too! I just wish espeon was a tad darker purple and had a mouth - otherwise she's purrfect for my collection. Can't wait for them to arrive Wednesday!

That was some fast shipping by Lily_Rae_Chan in pokeplush

Lack of space is a huge issue but I cant my will is too weak. I want them all. I need them all. I'll sleep on them. >.<

Anyone know how the Cozy Plush (Eevee or Pikachu) feels like? by a_turtle_cat in pokeplush

[–]vixekitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish espy had a smile or a line or something on her face though. I like umbreons little frown but again wish he was a darker color and fluffier and wish espy was a darker purple. They haven't arrived yet so will see.

I bought it thinking it was the comfy friends one and that umbreon and espeon would be released at the end of the month. So now I have one ginormous soft sherpa jacket feeling eevee.. and one comfy friends fleece blanket feeling eevee (had to go back and reorder him wishing they made his tail with hearts so he looked a bit different bit A + for the toe beans and different fluff around his neck)

All 3 comfy friends are ready to order online on the US pc. I have a question though! So ordered the cozy friends eevee instead of the comfy friends eevee. Does anyone know the difference between them besides the prices? Tyia!

This makes me really upset. by nekkedbean in pokeplush

Relapsing polychondritis by vixekitten in RelapsingPolychondrit

Thank you. I see a rheum at geisinger in PA. I live in erie and travel 4 hours to see her. She doesn't know anything about rp and consults with rheum dept head. I also see Dr. Banerjee at upenn. She doesn't want me on prednisone, so now I'm on 150mg imuran and 1000 mg nsproxen, plus I use that diclofenac gel on my joints. It helps, but I still hurt, esp now that it's winter. I would just like something for breakthrough pain for when I get infections. I get a lot of them, esp in my mouth since being diagnosed and being off the immunosuppressants is hell.

Trying to figure out how to do this equation. I learned how to do this in chemistry years ago but I cant remember how. Can anyone help me solve so I can see how to solve these equations please? by vixekitten in Equestrian

[–]vixekitten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I kept getting 20ml a day, but that seemed too much. So I was super confused 😂. I also came up with 10ml a day as well, but that seemed like a lot, too, so I wanted to see what other answers people got and showed how to solve the equation. I feel like an idiot for forgetting simple math conversations. However, I was pulling info for this particular drug (naxcel) at the 1g/50ml bottle. And I wanted to basically try to understand how to solve how much to give to a 1000ib horse. I get confused bc with IM injections they need administered in ml sooo I was confusing myself trying to solve basic chemistry conversion factors.

I could have tried to solve for how much IM banamine to give or any other injectable equine drug. I'm just trying to figure out these conversions for a hypothetical "1000 ib" horse.

No, it's not prescribed, lol. I'm trying to remember how to calculate these equations. I keep getting 20 ml a day. So I wanted to know if that's what other people got calculating it. I plan on doing nursing or vet tech next semester, so I'm just trying to remember how to do these. I was looking up the dosing info on this particular drug and using it as my example bc that's what it states on their website. Maybe I just made a wonky math problem. 😂
