Mucus rash

Baby screaming at the bottle

2024.05.09 22:02 Infamous-Part-235 Baby screaming at the bottle

I am not sure what else to do, and I feel like breaking down and crying every time I have to feed my LO. I am a first time mom, so please be kind.
Right from the start, my LO has had feeding issues. She had a tongue tie that we got removed. She has pooped that has changed so much such as mucus green, to black specs, to diarrhea, to yellow seedy color. Her pediatrician gave me some Similac Alimentum to try, and we are on day 2, she spits up a lot more, and has poop more frequent green poops. To top it all off, every time I go to feed her, she starts off a minute or two completely fine, then all of a sudden she will break away from the bottle and start crying. So I replace the bottle and she is fine for literally only 3 seconds then does the same thing again. Feeding her takes an hour to get down 4-5 oz because it is such a fight. Her pediatrician put her on reflux medicine a month ago but we stopped after two weeks because all of a sudden she got a rash. I have used the Dr. Browns Bottles, switched to Philips Avent Natural Nipple, increased the nipple size to flow 5 (she’s only 3 months!!!) she is gaining weight fine and everything. But feeding is nearly impossible to do without so many tears. Any suggestions is welcomed. She was on Similac 360 total care and for the past 48 hours has been on Similac Alimentum. Maybe that will be the solution and I just have to give it time… but I just feel so hopeless at this point.
i feed her every 3 hrs usually, or sooner if she wants it. Her naps are starting to get harder… idk maybe because the 4 month regression is coming lol. She usually only wakes up once in the night to feed.

Desperate Male battling a buttocks yeast rash please help
The initial cause seems to be an internal hemorrhoid caused by reading on the toilet every day in the winter, that discharged mucus and kept the area damp for the two weeks that I was sitting in one position holding my newborn so there was no way the rash was going away because it was always damp no matter how much I washed or dried. Even when my doctor prescribed me the first dose of Fluconazole it has no effect because we didn't realize the mucus discharge was keeping everything damp all the time.
Finally My doctor and I came up with a game plan of a prednisone dose pack to rapidly shrink the internal hemorrhoid and stop the mucus discharge (which worked within the first day) as well as hitting it with 7 day supply of 200mg ketoconazole which is just like fluconazole (diflucan) and applying anti fungal powder Nystatin twice a day since the prednisone is essentially a good for yeast we had to battle that at the same time and offset the prednisone. It's day three and it seems to be working no discharge from the rash or the hemorrhoid but the rash is still there and sometimes in the early morning itches although I will not itch it and throw away any progress I have made.
Has anyone else gone through this it's been the most miserable time of my life probably because I have a phobia of the downstairs region but also the whole discharge thing is not pleasant whatsoever and if you have gone through this what do you do to fix it? Thank you all in advance!!!
PS- this is the second time my doctor and I have done this game plan because the first time right after it started working I went to see a specialist and when he did his exam it reinflamed everything and the mucus flushed the powder completely away and put me back at square one.

2024.05.09 18:43 STOP0000000X7B Did your symptoms begin after having covid? What are your other comorbidities/clinical findings?

Did anyone else’s initial symptoms begin after having covid? Also, what other clinical findings/comorbidities do you have?
Me: -long covid -inappropriate sinus tachycardia -chronic candida and staph infections of ears, skin, sinuses, eyes, esophagus, and oral thrush - Raynauds -GI issues; ibs, loose stools with occasional mucus, poor appetite -Migraine and Brain fog -Fatigue and post exertional malaise -Muscle/joint pain -Fatigue -ANA positive, but yet to find a specific autoimmune pathology - High value of borrelia antibodies, but not enough to be considered an active infection - Low T-Cell reactivity to candida species, but otherwise normal immune activity -Strange filaments and other debris that emerge from skin with or without lesions, sometimes swelling and pain around affected areas -itchy rash which tends to flare up with heat and humidity -painful slow healing lesions, both nodular and pustular -sticky film on skin and scalp which can sometimes look or feel like dry skin. I find hair from my scalp, and non-moregellons fibers from textiles, frequently imbedded underneath this sticky film/skin, culture has been negative
Pre-Existing: - ADHD, Bipolar, GAD - eczema, keratosis pilaris, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, all pretty mild
Although my long covid symptoms haven’t improved, I have seen some gradual improvement in morgellons symptoms. I have far less frequent rashes and lesions, and a smallish amount of debris. I’m still having problems with the sticky film/skin, mostly on and around my scalp. I’m supposed to have a biopsy, but my dermatologist wants to do it when I have a rash, and I haven’t had one for a while. I haven’t mentioned the morgellons fibers directly to any of my clinicians just referring to it vaguely as strange debris, and focusing more on the derm symptoms which I know they are most likely to take seriously. Since I have pre-existing psychiatric diagnoses, and I’m an artist/designer that works with mostly textiles, so it would be pretty easy to write it off as psychosis.
It seems like morgellons is a heterogeneous group of different pathologies, but I’m thinking it might be a function of autoimmunity and immunodeficiency triggered by infectious agent.

2024.05.09 11:49 oli-ver_ Digestive and skin issues lasting 6+ months, dismissed by GP as anxiety, any help with possible causes appreciated

I have had the below symptoms since late last year, some starting around September others coming in around New year time. Tried to see a GP about it as I feel like something is wrong but they dismissed it all as anxiety/stress. I have been under stress this last year but feel like that really can't explain all of this.
Symptoms: - digestive issues, need to urgently empty bowels after eating, frequently diarrhoea
History: - 26 y.o trans man, have been on testosterone HRT for 2.5 years

2024.05.07 03:54 staythruthecredits Connective tissue issues

41F nonsmoker, medical cannabis user (no flame)
I have had chronic pain for years that's only been resolved briefly by a month of steroids, or a month on meloxicam with PT.
I've dealt with TMJ dysfunction after an auto accident age 20, which also broke my femur and it has a rod and nails to this day. By 25 it was no longer mouth guards and muscle relaxers, and I was getting injections in the base of my skull, along my neck, and in my upper back out towards my shoulders. I was told it was saline, and the records are lost. I considered this a drawback of my prior occupation in a call center.
Age 35 my nails were drying out, splitting vertically, and my eyes were beginning to stay irritable. I topped out at 214 pounds and I'm 62 inches tall. I had been taking Saphris and Welbutrin for five years and aside from being sore and exhausted all the time, my lower neck had been consistently tight and burning enough for me to look into CBD. I also switched to Fetzima from Welbutrin, and the muscle cramps were comical.
In 2018 I decided to stop Saphris and use this body. My left hip was always restricted after the auto accident. I didn't understand why and no one suggested additional tests or MRI, or more aggressive PT.
2019 was a big year for me when I took a job on retail, after I hadn't worked for a few years. I had headaches all the time from my eyes and the light, which hadn't been a thing. I had more than 1 migraine per quarter, which was my baseline.
Under the stress of the pandemic I pushed myself. I got my symmetry, ROM, flexibility, balance, and strength back. It was rad, until it wasn't.
I was sweating out my headbands up to twice per shift, drinking 6 bottles of water every day at work. My face was always red. Cold tolerance lowered. My lower back felt awful. I went to see the orthopedic for guidance on do more, do less, do different? 2020 fall I have mild OA of SI joints. 15mg meloxicam and 1 month PT had not only made my back feel really good, but everything else as well that's been sore and irritable for years. We agreed to move to rheumatology.
2021 april: Hypermobility and anti-SSB. My ANA is not clinically positive and has a specked pattern. Long term tolerance to meloxicam is untenable. 18 months on hydroxychloriquine no conclusive relief.
I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy but I'm not clear on 2020 or 21. Constipation, painful and nauseating, passing a concerning amount of mucus, revealed a 10mm single polyp that was benign. No signs of crohns and otherwise unremarkable aside from "senna abuse" and I quit that stuff the next year. The endoscopy was unremarkable, although I had already known that without prilosec for an unknown period of time that either I will be vomiting or at the very least need to vomit to relieve that episode. Baking soda water worked in my 20s and stopped working by my 30s.
2023 I had been through requested reduced hours, reduced duties, and no social life because once I got home and stopped moving it's like a timer that I had 40 minutes before I could barely move. Days off seemed to be more about recovery than catching up. I would find myself unable to stay awake in the middle of the day and the naps are always 4 ½ hours. I called out for those flares but they just kept happening. I felt like I was on fire every time my temp lowered to 97°. To be fair to my coworkers and myself, I quit that job. I tried to work regular hours at a different place that didn't have a 40 lb all day requirement, and within 3 weeks I was done. I couldn't think. I couldn't drive because of my head being so fuzzy. I didn't have access to water all shift and maybe it had something to do with it, but I quit.
The next month I started doing Rick Simpson Oil. It felt like I cleared the junk out of my head finally from all my medications. Now I've been thinking more, taking notes, and seeing how deep this goes. I've lowered so much of my stress with therapy and become more creative, and while all that has helped I am still sick.
December 23 my LDL was 195 and I was put on 10 mg rosuvastatin. I will say I know what happened there. I doubled down on foods I knew I could eat once I confirmed adult onset allergies. Sunflower seeds and undercooked/uncooked eggs are a no go. I also have an allergy to chlorhexadine.
I have tender points in so many places like near the elbows, shoulders, around my head, my neck is awful. My legs have them around the knees, thighs, hips, top and sides of my butt, face in front of the ears.
This year I screwed up my left shoulder with a labral tear. Physical therapy was fixing it, until it wasn't. Everything seemed well with strength and motion but then intense pain down my arm that was hurting my elbow as well. Mri showed biceps tendonotis, and I got a cortisone shot. Life was good. My neck felt better and the two recurrent knots in my left shoulder blade were much looser. Back to physical therapy, and after 1 week it's going to hell again. I have other tendons down that arm feeling like bruises from a car wreck but they are no larger than a thumbprint and no one can see them.
I've left my legs alone before they are too tender. I tried the theragun on them tonight and remembered why I don't. I asked who the pain specialists were in the practice, and now I'm here.
Current medications Lamictal, effexor, adderall D3 5000ui, chelated potassium, garden of life probiotics for colon health and their raw one women vitamin Zyrtec, prilosec twice daily (laryngeal reflux) 10 mg Crestor. As needed 350 mg soma, tessalon 100mg, cannabis Flonase, Astepro (laryngeal reflux) to keep my voice Restasis hurts my eyes for the entire day, not just application, and was discontinued after 5 weeks. My glands aren't dead and we're going to treat them manually at the next visit.
Continued concerns are my toes. I get chilblains in the winter while constantly wearing bombas slippers. The outer edge of my toes next to the pinky randomly numb out and are very uncomfortable. My big toe goes numb halfway down the nail bed randomly. Days where I cannot control my body temperature, I stay under the covers shivering until I pass out as soon as I'm warm... Then it's usually the 4 ½ hour snooze. My limbs are always affected. I have had a shawl in bed the last few years for the on then off with the cold shoulders.
I get zaps through my knuckles when trying to massage my arms with glides. I use Epiderm for a barrier on my face. It's been known to feel on fire and get a rash from my own sweat or tears. I will have some small degree of rash or tiny pinpoint hives here and there throughout the day on my hands unless I diligently moisturize. My cuticles recede the same without care. Wounds heal more slowly because everything seems to itch and I accidentally forget about them and catch them in a scratch. Coconut oil to the groin or the itching starts. Coconut oil in my ear canals as well.
Exclusionary Cardiovascular okay. Treadmill stress good. Echo good. Ekg good. Cholesterol within normal levels. 25 pound weight loss in 4 months and complete cbc okay from march '24.
If I'm missing anything pertinent lmk. 175 pounds. No oral contraceptive. Regular mentrual cycle. Bursitis 2x left hip. I started screaming after I woke up to either bursitis or tendonitis at the right hip last week, and the follow up from the mri last week will be Wednesday. Xray unremarkable.
Cervical unremarkable, slight bulge and osteophites. Thorasic unremarkable slight curvature and osteophites. Lumbar as presented earlier in post. All have recommended MRI/specialist.
This issue doesn't track for celebrex or tramadol, but the screaming incidents response to tramadol.

2024.05.05 02:31 HelpfulAd4795 "Weird" symptoms of GERD?

Do you guys and girls have any other symptoms, other than the usual heartburn and coughing? I have a type 2 HH along with gerd and gastritis for 2 years...so here is my list.
-flatulence/bloating. Started in the last 6 months, sometimes i had to fart each 15 minutes, loud and smelly farts. Somehow it calmed down by itself. Cant say it was food related.
-light itching at random places but no rash. Didnt notice this before the diagnosis. Happens rarely and lasts few days to few weeks at most. Liver enzymes are ok...
-heart palpitations that last few seconds. Annoying, i guess connected to HH?
-light "pain" or pinching sensation under left or right rib, sometimes both in the same time. Usually after eating, or drinking cold yogurt the moment i take a sip.
-mid to upper back pain
-weird stools. Maybe i had this before but didnt notice. If i eat cooked vegetables my stools are kinda shiny (mucus?) mushy and soft, often floating. If i eat rice instead they are harder, formed and usually sink. But also they are kinda light brown in color, i guess because of carbs in rice? I dont eat too much meat, if i do stools tend to be more brown. Few times on the beginning of my "journey" i had really yellow floating stools, freaked me out honestly.
The bowels related stuff sounds like ibs to me but i dont know. Honestly it can get really tiring to experience new symptoms (like excessive farting for me) and listen out to your body all the time wondering whats wrong and why. Btw i dont take any medications at the moment. I just try to be mindful of what i eat and drink, exercise, dont lay down after eating etc.... Out of 24 months i took PPIs maybe 5 months altogether.

2024.05.02 01:50 buon_natale There’s been something stuck in my airway for 10 years and I’m losing my sanity.

28F, 5’7, 150 lbs, Mirena IUD, sterilized, no health concerns
This all started back in 2014. I was a freshman in college and had picked up some sort of viral infection that gave me a nasty cough and fever. The doctor prescribed me liquid omeprazole, which gave me massive rashes all over my body that lasted for about 20 minutes at a time. While I was sick, there was a feeling of something stuck in my throat (NOT my airway). The feeling wouldn’t go away despite violent coughing fits and a horrible tickling sensation every time I breathed. One night I was tossing and turning in bed and the way I was laying when I swallowed at some point dislodged whatever the thing was and I felt it go down to my stomach. Gross, but it confirmed I wasn’t imagining things, because the relief was immediate and instantaneous. Unfortunately I’m a little hazy on the time line, but not long after I recovered, it started feeling like there was something else in my throat, but this time it was in my right upper airway on the left side of the tube, almost underneath my clavicle. I figured this would eventually go away too, but it hasn’t. At the time I chalked it up to chemical fumes (I did a lot of crafting with glue and silicone) but seeing as it’s been 10 years with little improvement, I’m starting to seriously doubt that. It’s extremely annoying, and I’m constantly trying to clear my airway and swallowing God knows how much mucus.
It’s worse when I yell, am around smoke or strong fumes, lay down, or with sudden bouts of vigorous exercise like running. The last actually causes me to cough uncontrollably for several minutes. It’s better in the mornings when I first wake up and when I stay upright, or days when I don’t talk much. The only thing to my knowledge that’s eliminated the feeling entirely is when I took steroids for an unrelated health issue. I’ve been to ENTs and pulmonologists who haven’t been much help. It doesn’t affect my breathing output or input during daily life, as confirmed by breathing tests. My bloodwork is fine, although I’m a bit anemic. I had to beg a very disinterested pulmonologist to do a scope several years ago- quite honestly I think he thought I was psychosomatic- and while he confirmed the area was red, swollen, and full of mucus, he didn’t really seem to care about fixing whatever the problem was other than prescribing an inhaler. I’m so sick of living like this and am desperate for help. It’s been a decade of my life that’s been stolen from me and I need answers. Can anyone help identify what could be going on?

2024.04.30 18:37 ohnanavudismyname Possible undiagnosed intolerance, neck rash, urticaria from sunlight and heat, panic disorder

Hi,
This may be a long shot but as I'm in withdrawal from benzodiazepines my doctor mistakenly prescribed for another withdrawal issue, I have had very strong reactions to foods that leave no doubt in my mind as to the fact I'm intolerant to something, but I just don't know what (yet). The biggest suspects are: histamine, gluten, dairy.
I've had episodes of very pronounced urticaria on the arms and torso/neck as a kid during PE, but have had rashes when exposed to the first sunrays in spring/summer as well, even now, one thing that has been persistent however, has been a rash in my neck, especially when exposed to sweat, heat, etc.
My most obvious symptoms have been very pronounced anxiety/panic disorder, which may have been caused by either a trauma or an infection/intolerance, massive bloating, especially right after eating, diarrhea, runny nose during meals or after, light sensitivity, cramping (especially from eggs), severe fatigue, and a host of other symtpoms, but mainly these, suggesting I don't do well with a certain food or foods. I just can pinpoint what exactly, or don't know whether a real pathogen is at play. Blood work has flagged antibodies for EB virus, mononucleosis and toxoplasmosis, but my GP seems to not care, probably considering these are 'mainstream' and long lingering infections. I did contract covid but my problems have been around for longer.
I've had a strong suspicion I may be suffering from a candida infection as sugar has always been a problem and I'm having difficulty losing weight when I'm not on a paleo/carnivore diet.
I've been diagnosed with IBS, however, no endoscopy or anything has been performed, as the gi-specialist ruled out what appeared to be a parasitic infection (probably mucus resembling a worm), and he suggested I should not be subjected to this exam as he seemed confident IBS fits the bill in the relationship to the anxiety. I can't help but wonder though, as I often have an itchy rectum, if stuff has been missed since I am absolutely positive something has been off with my gut. I'm almost positive I have a fungal infection as my tongue has been white and even yellow at times. GP performed a PCR test for parasites which came back negative. There's a huge connection there to anxiety no doctor should try to dismiss as my quality of life has been a mess or non existent. I should probably mention I had kidney stones for 7 years straight, including colics on a monthly basis, 2 surgical removals, something that was entirely resolved the moment I had an infected root canal treated tooth removed. I don't know what's worse, the panic attacks or the kidney stones, but both have been extremely unpleasant to say the least. The anxiety started around the same time as the kidney stones, but unlike the stones, unfortunately has persisted to this day. I do feel some improvement in my anxiety when my diet is really, really clean, but unfortunately not to the extent of 100% remission.
I am not 100% sure if this is the right subreddit for me but I feel histamine may be an issue considering the rashes and the fact I react to foods even when I'm ditching gluten and dairy. Even certain fruits (overly ripe bananas etc.) seem to cause severe fatigue at times. I just don't know anymore, and as there are no real tests for histamine intolerance it seems, I've come here looking for answers, in the event anyone recognizes anything. Any suggestions or ways of diagnosing a histamine intolerance/MCAS? I've been told I have 'something' by a professor endocrinology at a universitary hospital but that they don't know what that something is and that I'm not sick enough to lay around in bed all day. They ruled out Cushing disease at the time as my cortisol is all over the place. So I've been put on antidepressants, which have helped some but not enough, even metformin, which eventually caused confusion, causing me to cease that treatment. I mean, doctors just don't seem to know or really care anymore, they go ahead and simply tell me I shouldn't worry.
Thanks in any case.

2024.04.30 13:44 throwawayacc31347 Was it just gonorrhea or should I still be worried for other things?

3 days ago, I made a reddit post about asking if I have my case looks like herpes or not. Here's the reddit post if you want to check: https://www.reddit.com/STD/s/AyqvgdLRsB
I tested for VD and the lady who swabbed me told me it might be herpes, based on what it looks like, but the results told me it was gonorrhea. Sooo... does it look like gonorrhea and not herpes? Here's the most recent photo.
I'll also drop here the list of all my symptoms here that I also put in the comments of my previous post + more images (tho it looks a bit different now) for more info:

2024.04.28 18:37 No_Association5847 Histamine intolerance at breastfed baby?

Summary: Little one is 5 months old. He is exclusively breastfed by my wife. He has been in stomach pain for the first 2 months of his life, then my wife’s diet started to work and he is not in continuous pain anymore. But he has all kinds of other symptoms that are driving us crazy - mainly allergic-specific symptoms. And we suspect Histamine intolerance. But, why is no one else talking about HI in babies?
Story: So, for the past 4 months my wife has basically eliminated all the big allergens (dairy, egg, beef, nuts, fish, soy, gluten etc). She was mainly eating chicken, rice, pork, baked vegetables and some others. This diet has helped our baby a lot, because he is not in constant pain anymore, but other types of symptoms have started at around 3-4 months. After trying to introduce baked egg in wife’s diet, he developed some hives on his skin immediately after breastfeeding. After that, he basically continued to have skin issues, even though my wife has stopped the egg immediately. Since then (but maybe not connected to that egg-try, we don’t know) he has atopic dermatitis on many areas of his skin (legs, hands, face), he has red cheeks (with little bumps), and different red marks on the skin (that become more red from time to time - usually after a breastfeed). He also seems agitated and nervous most of the times. He gets bored easily - or maybe that’s just how he is, a very curious child.
When it comes to weight, we have had no problem here. So is on 80 percentile, even though he was born on ~35 percentile.
One week ago, my wife tried to eat fish in the restaurant. We did not know at that time that fish (kept on ice in the restaurant) is a huge trigger for histamine intoxication. During the next breastfeed, he developed one of his worst skin reaction until now (big red spot on his leg, lots of other red spot all over his body). His next meals were also triggering skin reactions.
And because of that we started to suspect that he is actually histamine intolerant. We basically eliminate fish allergy from the possible causes because my wife has had fish in the past and all the medical test do not indicate a mediated allergy.
He has a DAO of 10, which is at the border, but still low. The allergy panel came all negative (no mediated allergy to of the 24 food allergens). The prick tests came up negative (no reaction on skin after applying cow milk proteins, egg, nuts, almonds and some others). I also have had some issues with histamine in the past - nothing severe (skin rashes that disappeared in a few weeks with a diet and some medication), but made us think it could be genetic.
Wife started a low histamine diet after that (only one week in). We are basically cooking every meal exactly before eating (which is terribly hard). His dermatitis was in remission a little bit, and he also seemed more calm in the past days. But today, he again developed some red spots, and the dermatitis worsen a little, after my wife has eaten rice cakes (the same rice cakes that she is eating for months) - or at least that was our conclusion as a trigger. We don’t know what to believe anymore.
Forgot to mention other symptoms: he has always had diarrhea and mucus in diapers. And he is almost always gassy.
Questions: Did anyone experienced Histamine Intolerance in breastfed babies? Any information about this is valuable. Do you have any other ideas of possible cause for his symptoms?

2024.04.27 17:56 Timely_Winner_6908 The 4 general phases of investigations, you are likely to be at phase 3

another thing to note down is that
overall, investigation can be broke down into following phases:
⓿not under surveillance: deployment of quantum microwave radar weapon system at 2023 breaking conventional microwave radar range for high definition imaging limitations of upward 50km [referencing 2020 articles on microwave radar reportedly achieved perfect accuracy and details within 10km including through wall], as well as the increase unit amount, ease of accessibility of the device, as well as the rapidly expanding power of surveillance agencies, it will be very unlikely for any regular citizen to not be a target at some point of their life.
❶general probing: At the beginning the disruption was mostly invisible[1] in which slight uncomfortable disruption, sleeplessness, sore or mucus in throat, bumps or skin itches or rashes may occur from time to time, occasional to tests structure of relationship by disruptive and agitative methods, regular civilian targets are highly unlikely to be aware of any of these, but no real threat.
❷investigative processes begins, over the peroid of a lengthy 24 months to upwards around 36 months——incredibly high cognitive disruption to the point that learning disability, aggravated behavior(incredibly frustrated or impulsive), will very likely occur regardless of how healthy and well trained of a given individual, in which strong frame applies and direct encounter occurs in order to get access to the next phase, that which is achieved by ①evidence for investigation ②the fact that anything was said at all in a private or formal interview grants the permit. ——at the point which detective or private investigator want or need a certain result for example they need you to ①signs power of attorney to have your personal asset[2], or ②progress investigation in a certain direction by making you do a certain thing[3] ③works as a punitive method, so you get beat without any risks or knowing who did it and there are no way to explain it hence effectively mitigates all risks or liability to them[4]. ④.since they only care about result methods not relevant it's incentivized to cash out to build success or fruitful cases for rank up[5] since no repercussion abuses are very likely to happen, so don't let things get there.
❸Direct investigation phase: around average of 4.5 years of incredibly strong torment occur, usually consists of very strong tremor 【consistent for approximately 3 years for all waking hours at all time, likely during sleeps too】, infrasound vibration or electromagnetic shocks caused hronic pain 【it'd be consistently a 4-5 pain from a scale of 1-10, getting kick and punched in muaythai ameture fights=5 to 6, waterboarding=6, sabre pepper spray to the eye=7, getting burned alive=8, electric shocks used in professional torture CIA interrogations=9-10】, restless【your baseline heart rate will be kept above 120 or worse 160 everyday for the entire 24 hour period as tracking record shown, effectively burns above 7000-15000 cal per day, muscle shrinks be sure to adjust intake】 and strong sleep deprivation 【daily sleep hour consistently less than 4 hour as to your regular 8 hours sleep) usually up to 3 to 9 months】 along with various extremely strong cognitive disruptions 【light headedness, confusion, disgusts, agitated, noise increases so high that you'lll gets aggressive very very difficult to kept relationships together when it turn up pass a certain level as compares to when you live without the disruption】 and general increased infrasound muscle strain so the human body is under constant pressure you very likely will be unable to walk straight [reference to 2 cases naval personel] speed will also decreases to 50% or 1%(5min average reaction time drop from 130ms to 850ms to 1500ms in which you will not be able to read learn or think) of the original for both cognitive and physical reasons. ——At this phase targets are very likely to be stubborn(cause you're under constant pain and when infrasound strain applied to brain), brain constant fog sleep deprivation and disruption resulting in a state much like heavily intoxicated by alcohol so making horrible decisions all the time are to be expected(when you are drunk what's the decision if you see a red traffic light? you know full will what's going on but you will not understand and executes the correct action) so it's best to avoid making serious decision that could jeopardize someone's life including your own. ————Then disruption gradually lightens as according to FBI detectives phase3 usually lasts averages around 5 years.
❹if you're lucky it eventually lightens so you returns to semi regular life, however, since you're now under a different category [under community watch] so it means that for the next 10 to 30 years upwards permanent for life, it will fluctuates between phase❶❷❸ depends on the decision of your district counsel or who ever you're working with. But you really shouldn't assume anything less than 30 years since it's incentivized.
Since it can turn horribly at will at any given time for the rest of your 30 years, it makes sense to act as such as if you're in court, in police interaction, and in supervised inspection at all time. That means:
①Lawyer stated that the best way to act in court is how? "Never to come from a low position, be highly professional and presentable so it made obvious that you're upstanding credible serious and orderly"——and I quote, by a lawyer. it goes much more in depth than that so we should to learn from it.
②. Treat it like being searched by an officer, first thing to do continuously refuse to be searched do not give consent make clear reports tirelessly until the search request is over, once you let them in at all now they have full legal power to do as wish usually not going to turn out well, be really careful what to say, better to *(Youtube video by lawyer&sheriff)and to *(book written by retired detective), don't start the interview, let your lawfirm and lawyer handles it, they have private investigator and ways with the government and ways to work with the government so it's equally valid. But since everything is so very expansive, best to just keep it together stay out of trouble.
③. Under supervised inspection at all time (by Navy seal chief)
LASTLY, just went through long tormentive 4 years, disruption was so high it was incredibly hard to get through each day, it was impossible to not make bad decisions left and right all the time, even when you know how to do it right it's unlikely you will be able to executes it, willingness to learn it the right way is very important and it takes a lot of practice, so it comes down to preparations, building a very supportive strong safety net, have consistent income so it allows for a higher error tolerance? for all that to happen, interpersonal skills are so incredibly valuable, that's difficult under disruption. And I don't know what other factor then luck that we're able to get through the horrible times and that the environment allowed us to not fall in pits, cause the disruption could turn up so high you'd just completely loses it any day or just, die? if weren't for luck we'll end up in much more horrific life situations, and there are plenty of that in hospital in prison, see if for yourself that could be me! if weren't for luck I could've ended up that situation.
IDK, what's your take on this?
REF:
[1]personal experience 2017-2019.12, mostly cognitive disruption and agitations, your learning capability significantly decreased so unable to read or learn, and increase infrasound cognitive noise it's beyond human self control to not get restless or aggressive, since disruption can just kept getting higher, so best way to cope is to not let things get to that point, but note that most people are completely oblivious to this, altered circadian rhythm(so each day sleeps at random given time wakes up randomly in between sleep for upwards of around 12 times),
[2]reference to private investigator case neverland mayor wife
[3]reference to hunter biden jerking off in the pool, I assume that's infrasound vibration applied to sexual reproductive system so it itches, there are no bases to this, we can't physically observe infrasound
[4]reference to 3 case of Naval personel undergo torment(O6-2004, E3-2020, E2-2019) in Naval service training command, all 3 utilized every reasonable method possible attempts to solve it, none of them are able to progresses or gets anywhere.
■uses of strong and direct force out of a person's ability to resist, so in such case of investigation that direct force would be ——legal action{①lawsuit ②that you've signed something ③through infrasound increased noise cognitive disruption and agitation so strong that it's outside of any regular person's will and self control, so now a person can come off as aggressive or gets really close to aggrieved assult now legal actions are applicable} ——infrasound enforcement, much like police trying to control someone with physical direct force, because the radar weapon system infrasound disruption are so strong that it can torn human body exactly like nerve gas therefore it can be use for enforcement. (so infrasound increased pressure muscle strain generates so much force that it can cause internal bleedings, for example uses in war) since this can easily done, it would be reasonable for anything lighter to happen,

2024.04.26 10:11 Some_Goose8330 I am ashamed with how much carbs I am eating. I'm at my wits end. Help!

I was diagnosed with PCOS at a very young age when I was 9. I was put on BC until I was 16 and taken off it deeming it unsafe for my health. I'm not even allowed non-hormonal option. Now at 36 my doctor will not prescribe me Metformin. My RE specialist put me on meds to make me ovulate, but despite producing a lot of cervical mucus I only ever have annovulary cycles.
I'm not on any meds at the moment. I did try Myo-Inositol for a year, but I gained 30lbs and it made me feel and look heavily pregnant when I am very much infertile.
I'm at my wits end. I've been using LoseIt! Lifetime membership to track my food intake. This is because in lockdown I developed seemingly overnight anaphylactic allergies to all nuts, oats, coconut, soy, celery, and chicory root fibre. The allergy specialist has no idea why or what's caused it and she's refusing to prescribe me a EpiPen because while my blood work was positive for these allergies, my skin prick was negative. She's not convinced I need one despite being hospitalised 5x now with shock over the past year and a half. Bless the NHS, right?
And to top off my allergies I developed a severe rash on my nose during mandate mask wearing season that won't go away. The dermatologist told me it was roseacea after ruling out staph and fungal. It's so painful and they tried two different prescribed creams to no avail. Now she says only laser via private beauticians is my only option.
I can't live like this. I'm eating too many carbs per day. About 80g average when I've told myself to only eat 20g.
For breakfast I've tried vegan protein shakes, but the texture makes me gag. It's like that slop they make you drink before an x-ray scan. The non-vegan options in my shops are 13g of carbs per shake. Even the fruit ones are dairy based and 8g of carbs a shake. For lunch I have a low carb branded wrap, Gouda, turkey, and mustard. I have lentil crisps (20g) on the side and one piece of dark chocolate. For dinner I'll have homemade chicken ramen or tacos or something similar.
I found out lentil crisps aren't actually healthy so I'm not buying them anymore. Too many carbs.
I'm about ready to give up breakfast even though it makes me nauseous to not eat in the morning. I don't snack at all. I never feel hungry between breakfast and lunch or after lunch before dinner.
Help! How do I eat less carbs?
EDIT: For exercise I walk 40 mins per day in the morning on workdays (5x a week) and bike on the weekends.
EDIT: I only drink water.

2024.04.24 03:10 UnairedHouseEpisode 13M[AFAB] Weird Set of Symptoms and Lab Values- No Diagnosis or Direction Given

My son, 13M/AFAB, 5'2", 146lb 14.4 oz, mixed white and First Nations, the primary complaint is over the last 7 weeks he has had a combination of dizziness, nausea, headaches, back pain, off/on low-grade fevers, rash for and others. Previous DX- GAD, ADD, Presumptive Autism. I am attaching a link to all of his current labs, PHI redacted, and will be copying and pasting from the post I made in /rdiagnoseme which directed me here for more fine-tuned advice. I will try to combine my responses in this post though to help. Also, we are currently working with his Pedi and have referrals and appointments end of May and in June for Hem/Onc, Infectious Disease, and Allergy Immunology at the children's hospital in our state.
From the post body- "I'm at a loss regarding what could be happening and feel like I'm in a bad episode of House, but with my 13-year-old, and there is no quirky doctor helping us out on the sidelines. Before I delve into everything that has happened and the symptoms present/past, I want to clarify that we are working closely with his pediatrician and have referrals to see pediatric specialists in Hematology/Oncology, Infectious Disease, and Allergy/Immunology. However, there hasn't been a clear direction regarding the underlying issue, so I am really seeking any additional tests or areas for investigation that I can discuss with his Pediatrician. This has been ongoing for the last 7 weeks now, and both he and I are feeling frustrated and exhausted, he's managed 1-3 days a week of school. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Current Medications:
Hydroxyzine 15mg oral suspension
Tylenol
Supprelin LA
Previous Medications (Prior to 3/8/24):
Hydroxyzine 15mg oral suspension
Draytana patch 15mg
Prozac 10mg (for 3 days)
Tylenol and Advil
Supprelin LA
Timeline of Events:
End of February: Everyone in the household had a brief cold, which resolved without fevers or down time.
March 4-8: My son began experiencing stomach pain, culminating in a trip to the ER on March 8 due to intense pain resembling appendicitis. A CAT scan revealed all organs to be unremarkable and fine, but several swollen lymph nodes were detected in his lower abdomen. These lymph nodes appeared to be the source of the pain while awaiting blood work. Given the discovery of low platelet levels, we were advised to discontinue most medications and repeat the labs.
March 9-27:Multiple blood tests were conducted, and the pediatrician began making referrals. However, the specialists did not agree with the pediatrician that it warranted a more urgent and quick appointment time. During this period, we experienced increasing nausea, dizziness, reduced appetite, headaches, joint pain, and back pain, but no fevers.
March 28:He reported feeling nauseous and expressed a desire for soup for dinner but was unable to maintain an appetite. His older siblings called me, informing me that he was shaking. I took his temperature, and it was 102.8°F. I immediately called the after-hours number to inquire whether I should treat him with APAP at home or bring him in. While waiting for a call back, I checked his temperature again after about 30 minutes, and it had risen to 103.6°F. Deciding to take him in, I administered 460mg of APAP. Upon arrival at the ER, his temperature had reached 104.1°F. It required three bags of saline, an additional dose of Tylenol after reaching the maximum dosage, and 4.5 hours for his fever to decrease to 100.6°F before they discharged us. The medical team also conducted a myriad of tests.
March 29-Present:Continued symptoms of dizziness, nausea, occasional low-grade fevers, and a transient rash on his extremities have persisted, further complicating the diagnostic process.
TLDR:
13yo, multiple symptoms listed below, and bloodwork data attached, referrals and appointments with hem/Onc, allergy/immunology, and infectious disease pending.
Symptoms/Findings:
Stomach pain
Nausea
Dizziness
Reduced appetite
Headaches
Joint pain
Back pain
Shaking or tremors
Fever (with varying degrees)
Fatigue
Rash (blotchy, sore, itchy, raised sandpaper-like)/Blanched when touched lasted aprx 7 days
Low platelet levels/ITP
Attention deficit disorder (ADD)
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Constipation
Eosinophilia"
I also realized he had two IgGs done that I somehow didn't download which were end of March and 4/17 both totaling over 5000.
We are in the PNW and haven't traveled out of our state in the past 4 years, but did go to the reservation in Canada around 6 years ago. He is able to go to school 1-3x a week but typically the next day is so worn out he doesn't have the energy to go again in addition to going to school mid-day not early morning.
Based on the UA results I requested that we do a course of antibiotics, even though not all markers are present, it has been the one constant thing. This is the message I sent to his pediatrician-
"I'd like to see if treating [son's name] for a bacterial UTI relieves some of his symptoms he is having now that a moderate amount of bacteria is present with leukocytes, WBC, RBC, and Mucus present in this latest test.
His platelets are now 121, while still low, a much more comfortable amount in regards to bleeding protocols and concerns.
Diving into several common treatments that are used in pediatric UTI, the antibiotic trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is a favorable choice and per a NIH study and several others the instances of drug induced ITP from that antibiotic specifically, when given in the usual dosage is more uncommon. It also comes in an oral suspension so [son's name] sensory issues with large pills wouldn't be a concern.
Thanks again for all you're doing for [son's name]."
I got told no because he doesn't feel like the results indicate a UTI. Honestly, this is what made me start questioning more things, and I began researching more which is how I stumbled upon reddit. I've worked in clinical mental health for over a decade and just recently swapped to non-clinical so while I'm not versed in medicine I am familiar enough to navigate through and collaborate with physicians which until this point hasn't been an issue.
For the initial post getting all the information together in one spot and looking holistically and logically vs parentally really made me understand more why we are getting sent to the three specialists we are BUT it also led me to messaging last night requesting more labwork to assist in the eventual diagnosis that will happen.
So in addition to repeating CBC/CMP/BMP/UA I asked for these-
Iron Metabolism:
Serum Iron
Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Ferritin Levels
Vitamins and Minerals:
Vitamin B12 Level
Folate Level
Vitamin D
Magnesium
Thyroid Function:
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Free Thyroxine (FT4)
Triiodothyronine (T3)
Thyroid Antibodies
rt3
TBG
Thyroglobulin
Inflammatory Markers:
C-reactive Protein (CRP)
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
Autoimmune Markers:
Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA)
Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
Anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA)
Anti-cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP)
Anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG)
Coagulation Studies:
Prothrombin Time (PT)
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)
Fibrinogen Level
Immunoglobulins:
IgG subclasses
IgA
IgM
Total IgE
Serological Tests:
Helicobacter pylori
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Serum Protein Analysis:
Serum Protein Electrophoresis
Last but not least the lab work: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:b21fc4c0-7bb3-4205-9640-2c09190920b6
Any insight or thoughts would be extremely welcomed!

2024.04.24 01:39 Original_Specific_55 Sudden allergy to nutramigen?

TL;DR: LO is having a flare up of CMPI symptoms ~2.5 months after starting nutramigen. Has anyone else’s baby seemed to start getting better on nutramigen (or other HA formula) only for their symptoms to flare back up? If so, did it end up being an intolerance to the nutramigen too and what was the solution that helped you all?
—- (sorry in advance for the length, I wanted to make sure I covered all information about this issue) —-
So, LO is a week shy of being 5 months old. He started nutramigen roughly around 2 months of age (so, about 2.5 months ago) due to suspected CMPI. He had blood and mucus in his stool, would have many periods of inconsolable crying throughout the day, basically needed to be asleep to eat, etc. The works. Based on the blood in his stool and other symptoms, the pediatrician recommended we completely switch him to Nutramigen.
He continued having blood (albeit, less than originally) and lots of mucus in his stool for maybe a month after starting. However, his pediatrician said that sometimes it takes a while for everything to clear and because the blood was getting a little bit better, to give it time. So we did, and eventually he stopped having blood and most of the mucus stopped too. His other symptoms got a little better as well (but reflux like symptoms did stay the same or get worse).
However, right about when he got his 4 month vaccinations a few weeks ago, the symptoms started again. Blood, tons of mucus in stool, crying bouts, needing to basically be asleep to eat, rash on his face, etc. The works. I don’t know if this information matters (our ped said these things would not likely have caused these symptoms and for this amount of time) but he did get the rotavirus vaccine as part of his vaccinations (which I’ve read some anecdotes about that maybe making symptoms flare up) and he’s been teething, so he’s had both dye-free name brand Tylenol and genexa. Not often, but he has had that too since the shots. Our doctor did do another occult test and it was negative for blood in the stool (literally, the day of the appointment was his first non-bloody diaper in three weeks. However, it’s worth mentioning that the blood in his diapers the past three weeks has been like, one streak or black flecks. Not nearly as much as there was before starting nutramigen).
Our doctor is referring us to a GI for a consult and testing to rule out other issues like esophagitis or a polyp, etc. We have an appointment set up but it’s not for another 2 months and I am wondering if in the interim, if it might be worth trying to switch him to an amino acid formula during the wait just in case this is just his allergy never truly clearing up. I’ve already reached out to our ped to ask his opinion on that too as I forgot to ask it during the appointment yesterday, but I thought I’d check here, too.
Has anyone else’s baby seemed to start getting better on nutramigen only for their symptoms to flare back up? If so, did it end up being an intolerance to the nutramigen too and what was the solution that helped you all?
Thank you all in advance!❤️🤗

Thrush ? Mono ? Strep ?
Thrush ? Mono ?
Been on 3 antibiotics now for what I assumed was strep / bacterial tonsillitis but it didn’t seem to heal my tonsils. I’m not sick anymore and never was badly sick other than a sore throat and a cough at the very start. Now im fine other than occasional mucus but my tonsils are still kinda big with these white patches. Thought it might be mono because after the third antibiotic my back broke out in a rash but they’re more like mini white heads than a mono rash. Is it fungus? Is it chronic tonsillitis? Got my bloods done today so that might give some answers but any advice is appreciated. Picture attached is my left tonsil !

2024.04.22 23:18 thatgirlsara Are these cheeks (face) normal?

Are these cheeks (face) normal?
My doc didn’t seem to worry but he is wildly uninformed about CMPA or any intolerances. She is currently on a goat milk formula. We’ve been playing formula roulette for 4 months.
Do these cheeks look like something you’ve seen in a CMPA baby or milk intolerance baby?
  • No blood, no mucus in diaper (that we can see)
  • She’s on reflux meds but not consistently - only if we seem to have a flare up
  • we’ve been on this formula for over a month
  • her eyes seem swollen to me … but the doc also didn’t seem to worry
  • no other rashes on her body
  • she is drooling A LOT but I heard that’s normal for this age

2024.04.21 14:15 Voe040116 MCAS Anaphylaxis different to IGE mediated?

Does anaphylaxis present differently in people with MCAS compared to those with IGE mediated allergies?
I believe that I am experiencing anaphylactic reactions due to MCAS post Covid. I am yet to use my EPI pen as extra antihistamines have been calming things down to a point where I feel stable enough. However the reactions are becoming more frequent and harder to control with antihistamines and I have had to present to Emergency twice this week.
During these reactions I don’t wheeze, I don’t get facial or lip swelling and I don’t break out in a rash or hives…so doctors don’t believe that it’s anaphylaxis.
However during these reactions I am getting multiple system involvement.
The only things that shows up after a reaction is elevated white blood cells and neutrophils and some blood/leukocytes in my urine. They never test my tryptase but my baselines is low end of normal. Basophils and Eosinophils are at a zero.
Should I still be treating this at anaphylaxis?
I am waiting to see an immunologist and allergist this week but don’t feel hopeful given past experiences 🤦‍♀️

2024.04.21 06:02 KaMaGe83 Could this be the cause of my symptoms??

A few days ago I was diagnosed with a syrinx from c4 - t1 with its widest point being 2mm at c7. The orthopedic brushed it out off as if it was insignificant, despite my symptoms. He said I could see a neurosurgeon if I want, but he downplayed the need to. After doing my own research I decided to make an appointment with a neurosurgeon. While awaiting that appointment I am continuing my own research to gain a better understanding of what this means for me. Also, I have had a rough year, medically speaking, and I’m trying to assess whether or not my syrinx can explain everything or not. With the limited information available, I don’t really understand what it can and can’t affect. So I’m going to explain my last year and I would appreciate any knowledge as to whether this can be related. Here goes…
My very first symptoms were unintentional weight loss and extreme fatigue. Now I have tried to lose weight ever since I gained it during my pregnancies with little success over the years. At this time I was not eating healthily at all. My original weight was 285 pounds. I am 6’ tall. I was losing around 5 pounds a week regardless of what I ate. I even tried drinking meal replacement shakes in addition to food to add more calories, but I still kept losing.
After a couple months, I started developing GI symptoms (diarrhea, mucus/blood in stool, gallbladder colic, acid reflux, early feeling of fullness), but I believe that these symptoms are secondary to the rapid weight loss, because of the stress it puts on the liver and gallbladder. I was tested for diabetes and thyroid issues (both labs and US) and both were ruled out. I had tests ran to check my liver and gallbladder and everything came back within normal limits. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done with multiple random and targeted biopsies, but nothing was revealed to explain my symptoms. No helpful information from scans of my abdomen/chest or brain. As time went on, other symptoms developed. My hips and shoulders seem sore most of the time. I bruise easily. My skin is freaking out with some random rash at all times (usually on my face, neck, or thighs). I’m dizzy/disoriented in an upright position. Minimal exertion causes my to start sweating/flushing and I feel like I’m going to pass out. I am a below knee amputee, so my wheelchair has been my saving grace; without it, I would have fallen so many times! I’m sure I left some symptoms out, as it gets hard to remember everything these days. Which reminds me, I have short term memory issues, likely due to insomnia.
Fast forward to now and I have lost a total of 120 pounds without trying, and I experience all of the other symptoms on a daily basis. I recently started getting pain in my neck and weakness in my right arm and tingling in my face, head, and right arm, which lead to the discovery of the syrinx.
I know that was a lot, so thank you for taking the time to read through it all and I look forward to any knowledge that can be sent my way!
Symptoms I forgot
I seem to be having trouble stabilizing temperature, I wake up in the middle of the night and my temp is 94-95. A warm bath rises it to normal pretty quickly.
My tailbone stays bruised most of the time. It is so close to the surface that it seems unavoidable.
Sometimes I get shocks of pain in my residual limb and sometimes in my head.
I get headaches where my head feels like the whole thing is being compressed to the point the my eyes hurt. I do have a history of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which is what I suspect to be the cause of or related to my syrinx, but these headaches are different from the ones I experience with iih.
Most nights when I’m sleeping I get low heart rate notifications ( my heart rate drops below 40 for at least 10 min) from my Apple Watch.
