>>445154Your nose keeps running, you are probably experiencing some post nasal drip. You most likely want to stop the runny nose, reduce inflammation in the affected areas and reduce fatigue. If you have access to something like pseudoephedrine or
oxymetazoline use them, but only for a few days. I would suggest you check and see if your glands are swollen. A runny nose can cause sore throats but it doesn't normally cause symptoms that sound like laryngitis. You could also be dealing with a sinus infection or rhinitis. The Traditional Medicinals tea is really good at soothing.

Yes, many times fainting can be stress or blood pressure related. But risking sudden unconsciousness being something more serious and not finding out in time is not worth it. The amount of time you were unconscious greatly concerns me, it does not seem typical of average "fainting spells".

Recently my hands have been entering this phase on and off where they're wildly overreacting to mild heat. For example I'll try to pick up a spoon that's in warm food, and it feels like I grabbed super hot metal even though it's probably barely above room temperature. I don't get what's going on because they look normal, like my skin is maybe slightly dry if you nitpick but there's no redness or injury. Touching cold stuff helps so I've been icing my hands whenever I can but the burning pain returns if they get room temperature or warmer. This will last for hours at a time when it starts and then goes away, idk what triggers it.
This is an issue because I work in a restaurant where my job is literally handling hot food. Anyone know what could cause the sensation of intense burning pain when everything looks normal? I don't even know how to report this because there's no visible symptoms. It definitely feels like a surface thing as opposed to bone pain or something so idk do I have nerve issues or something

I have mycoplasma pneumonia. My gp doesn't kow what else to do after 4 boxes of 2 types of antibiotics. I went to the hospital, my roentgen photos are clear but my left lung hurts like a motherfucker for days. It used to only hurt at night, but now it's all the time. The doctor at the hospital didn't give a fuck at all and just sent me home with no advice or pills. I have a high temperatire for a month and a half as well. I have an alternative medicine type of device on my back which helped me for 3 days but now it's back to being bad. I drink herb teas for lung health, try various painkillers which some help, some don't but it doesn't solve the problem. I don't know what else to do, it's not getting better no matter what i try.

>>449757of course nona. respiratory illnesses can take forever to completely clear up.
its a good thing to have an slightly elevated temp bcus it helps your immune system fight off the infection, as long as it doesn't get too high.
another suggestion is to try and do some deep breathing and back stretches/exercises. the one in this video is good.
also- try 'splinting' if you haven't already. basically just take a pillow, and put it on the part of your chest that hurts and apply pressure whenever you need to take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, laugh, etc. it helps it hurt a lot less, if the pain is really bad.
just don't do it with a ton of pressure or all the time though, because you need your lungs to expand fully (do the video!).
i hope you start feeling better soon! make sure you follow up with your docs and make a new appt if anything starts feeling worse ok

I was wondering if sex havers could help me. I read through comments on a lot of Reddit posts and a few health websites, but I'm not sure which to believe about when it's a good time to get tested for certain STDs and STIs. The answers all seem to be different and since most of the answers are extremely old and it's going to be 2025 soon, is there a resource that has updated timeframes for them all? I keep seeing "three months, six months, and a year" mentioned, but do you agree with that? I'm afraid of taking a test for something and thinking I'm safe because it showed up as a negative when really it's because I got tested too early. It has been a month since I gave oral, but a few days after that incident I masturbated with spit. Did I potentially fuck myself over more?

I'd recommend avoiding alcohol for now due to your sensitivity and gut issues. I also strongly urge you to rest as much as needed and dont try to push through the fatigue as much as possible. Due to the number of infections you've had i think you are at an increased risk of progressing to worse.

I've been having aphasia lately, like within the last 6 months. I regularly cannot come up with the words I need. For example today I couldn't think of the word "tablecloth" and was so humiliated about it i refused to google "fabric you put on a table" so i just sat concentrating for like 2 minutes until i finally remembered the word. It's so embarrassing when this happens mid-conversation on a really basic word. Like I was talking to someone the other day and couldn't remember "fruit punch." I stammered and ummmed until finally I just had to say "party drink". Lately when this happens in the presence of people i'm close to I just say "sorry, I have terrible word recall" and give up instead of taking so long to remember like, the word "toaster."
I used to be very quick-witted, then I started taking Spironolactone for hair loss. It gave me bad brain fog that never alleviated, I've made a fool of myself many times especially when I first became dumb because I still thought I was smart and would assume I was doing everything right and that other people were wrong or things were broken. Now I'm used to it and have adapted to being slow-witted, but this aphasia is new. I haven't changed my dose or anything though, so I just don't think it could be the medication. Why would it suddenly spawn a new symptom after 2 years of taking it?
My parents say I should get an MRI but I have useless health insurance and I can't help but feel that's overkill for a symptom of "forgetting words now and then." IDK. I just am so tired of living like this, and now the aphasia too, I really used to be so quick and smart. But if I stop taking the med my hair will fall out and never come back. Plus the aphasia, I struggle to believe it could really be the meds fault after all this time.

very glad to see this thread!
so…honestly, i've been really weirded out by what appears to be extreme head fevers that often come with severe headaches.
the feeling varies. sometimes it's a more painful hot, sometimes it's more of a facial fever, but either ways i've just never felt anything like it even when i've had the common cold or the flu. my eyes and nose feel terrible too. and, in general i just feel so wired and tired especially when it gets really bad, though it's localized to my head. my chest also feels…weird too sometime, but it's hard to tell if it's just GERD/tension/my asthma or something that's related. i've tried antihistamines and they have 0 effect on it.
i'd say i feel some degree of it most of the time, though how bad it gets is super variable.
i know, it's kind of vague but i've already talked to my doctor and i was just advised to stop drinking soda and eating junk food, which was ironic bc i stopped doing that years ago. and i know the symptoms don't seem like much, but it's bad enough that i've stopped doing anything recreational while outside, my body just feels so uncomfortable.

>>504266Covid is hell. Some scientists have shown it can compromise different parts of the immune system, making you more susceptible to new infections, so your best bet is to avoid getting sick again altogether which is easier said than done. For POTS some people have used beta-blockers for a limited time, but oftentimes POTS will get better on it's own although it can take many months. From what I understand covid causes a highly inflammatory immune response in the body, leading to microvascular damage, sometimes further leading to small fiber neuropathy, which results in the symptoms you have. It also seems like an immune response stays turned on in some people, but researchers aren't sure why yet (whether it's viral persistence, some undiscovered autoimmunity etc.) so symptoms linger despite treating the microvascular damage. Assuming your body is struggling with inflammation right now due to immune activation, anything that lowers baseline inflammation in your body is good. Antihistamines or diet changes can give some people symptom relief, though it's not a cure. People are different and different parts of the body can be afflicted, so there's a lot of trial and error. Science just isn't there yet so seems like people are trying any med/supplement out of desperation and some of it helps some people, but it's incredibly frustrating. Whatever you do just take it easy, do some light movement if you're able to, but rest lots.

What might my night sweats be? Dealt with them since I was a teenager. In my late teens I started taking guanfacine as an off-label treatment for nervous tics and it coincidentally made my night sweats way more minor. Now at 30 they’ve been coming back, and this past week has been hellish. I’m sick of getting up multiple times in the night to peel off soaked pajamas and then trying to fall back asleep in a damp bed. It’s bad enough I’m getting very little restful sleep and my productivity has ground to a crawl. Should I try to get testing for PCOS? I’m not overweight and my periods are fairly regular. I have noticed an increase in the number of dark hairs I have to pluck off my chin (always been a hairy woman). Also in the past 6 months or so I’ve had an intermittent cramp-like pain to the right of where my period pain normally is.
My experience with doctors for almost everything is that if you don’t go into it with potential diagnoses for them to test you for, they’ll shrug and offer some pill to treat the symptom without caring about exploring or fixing the cause. So I’m gonna see a doctor for this but I want to have some potential explanations on file before I do.

What is wrong with my digestion? No matter what foods I eat, no matter how much fiber I consume, I am chronically constipated to the point of injury. After trying everything else, I started taking daily osmotic laxative to prevent severe issues. This lead to me discovering what I think might be the first clue. There is an 8-10 day lag between when I start taking the laxative, and when i see the result (passing softened stool).
So that means my digestion for anything I eat takes 8-10 days until it makes it out the other side! That isn’t normal, right?
In addition to that, I have the following symptoms
>I often feel full almost instantly after eating just a tiny amount. I can’t eat anything between meals (not even like 40 calories), or else I won’t be able to eat the next meal because I will feel full
>I get heartburn at inexplicable times. I never get heartburn after eating (as is expected), and instead only experience it when I’m starving.
>I cannot burp. I have never burped in my life and can’t even when I try. Yes, this is uncomfortable.
I really do not think this is a diet issue. I eat an extremely healthy and well balanced diet, and have even tried shifting it in one way or another to relieve symptoms, with never any results.

Not urgent, but I have had this for over a year and a half now where both of my hips hurt super bad when I lay on them too long. I am a side sleeper so this has really fucked my sleep and quality of life. It feels like pressing on a bruise at first, that gets more intense over time and after a few hours becomes a deep unbearable burning. I have tried so hard but cannot make myself a back sleeper through the whole night. I have had an xray, CT scan, and MRI. MRI showed a bursitis in one hip but not the other I guess? I went through PT but it didn't help. Ibuprofen and aspirin don't help, I don't think/know gabapentin did because it helped me sleep a bit better at first but then I would wake up in awful pain from having slept on a hip for so long without my body being able to wake me up to stop it. I am not overweight. I don't know what to do now, like the next step. Pain specialists just want to give me shots, the PT didn't help. GP just wants to refer me to an orthopedic specialist, which I am waiting to see but they have a stupid long waitlist, high price, and when I do have my appointment they are only planning a steroid injection into the bursa. I really don't think it will help. My gut says there so many muscles around the hip that maybe I am fucking one of them up day to day, mindlessly, and this is actually a simple fix but I have no idea where to turn to anymore and this is really lowkey destroying my life and sanity. I want a specialist on, I guess, muscles and tendons to spend time with me on a consult.

I had a wart on my tongue like picrel. Google said all mouth warts are sexually transmitted HPV. The issue with that:
>I am a virgin
>I was never a victim of rape or molestation
>I have never even KISSED anyone else
>I am fully vaccinated against HPV
After researching more, I determined I did not have traditional sexual-type HPV warts because those look different, I had “verruca vulgaris”, which is the “common wart” type of HPV that causes hand warts and can sometimes infect the mouth (picrel) if you have the virus on your hands and put them in your mouth. I am a cuticle biter so that’s my only theory as to how.
I removed it by just pinching it between my fingernails and pulling until it popped out of my tongue. There was a lot of bleeding at first but it stopped eventually and it didn’t hurt.
My remaining questions that I can’t find on google:
>people with traditional HPV are told to disclose to sexual partners and you will always have a risk of transmitting it to someone, just less of a chance of the virus is not “active”. Does this apply to me now just because I got a “common wart” non-sexually transmitted HPV wart on my tongue once? I was just feeling ready to maybe try dating but I would give up forever if this is the case.
>will it come back or did pulling it out take care of it? Is the virus still “active” in my mouth, and how can I tell?
Google only tells you this info about the sexually transmitted strains of HPV, not for common warts (strains 2 or 4). Because it’s uncommon I guess. What kind of doctor would be able to answer these questions? An ENT? And I doubt they would believe me when I tell them I am really a virgin with no intimate contact and that the wart was verruca vulgaris, especially because I already removed it and have no proof that the wart looked different than typical sexual HPV. I feel so fucked.
No. 517657
>>517216>Does this apply to me now just because I got a “common wart” on my tongue?From my understanding, HPV from common warts is transmitted when the warts are actually 'active'. So you don't have to disclose it unless you have a wart on your tongue or are healing from a wart. If your partner has a weakened immune system, they're more likely to be affected, so that's something to keep in mind. It's an awkward location, but it's basically the same as having a wart on your hand or foot. Embarrassing, but benign.
>Will it come back or did pulling it out take care of it?It's possible. The virus can remain dormant in your body and reappear when your immune system is weakened by stress, illness, etc. Or it might be gone for good. I had a plantar wart on my foot once and it's never reappeared, so hopefully the same will happen to you. I think a regular doctor would be able to answer your questions. Oral verruca vulgaris is uncommon, but it's basically the same as regular verruca vulgaris, just in a different location. Try to stop biting your cuticles and take a deep breath. You'll be fine, you're not fucked. From what I've seen, it's more common for children to get oral verruca vulgaris. If they can heal and be just fine, so will you

>>520139Was this your annual obgyn checkup? If not, I'd try to get a second opinion if/when you go to that. in the meantime, I have read that cancerous lumps are often spherical as opposed to less uniform lumpiness, which is just breast tissue, so you could examine your lump for that trait
>>520168as a complete non-expert, my understanding is that the sort of sleep study that they do to diagnose sleep apnea is pretty accurate, so if you could get one of those done, it would be really likely to identify whether or not you have a problem with stopping breathing in your sleep. is that what the doctors did? if not, I'd try to get one of those done if you could.

I've been really stressed and often not sleeping over 5-6 hours a night for a couple months. In the past week I've begun to see things in my peripheral vision many times a day, and usually there's nothing. It tends to just be movement and it really startles me. Is this just stress/bad sleep habits or should I get my eyes checked?
>>535036This is real. I had to stop adding turmeric to my evening tea because my teeth were becoming yellow.

>>535324This sounds like lichen sclerosus Nonna. A GP should be able to prescribe steroids if that's the case (they will need to look at your butthole, but it will be the 40th butthole they've seen this week). Image spoilered for skin inflammation pics

>>543758I believe those are both symptoms, I was just diagnosed myself and the orofacial pain specialist mentioned them. For me, if I open my jaw widely there's a weird pop and shifting sensation. You will probably need a panoramic scan to properly diagnose.
The following might all be america specific so sorry if irrelevant: you will need a orofacial pain specialist, not reg dentist (though maybe they could at least do the scan/refer) or "tmj specialist" (SCAM). There is a registry you can check to confirm. It's also an insurance nightmare so be ready to pay out of pocket, fight, and possibly get screwed. Sadly the condition seems to attract a lot of grifting so be careful of that too.

I fell pretty hard on my knee six weeks ago. Let it rest for two weeks, went back to dance at the third week. This last week (week 5) was really intense, multiple hours of rehearsals and performances. My knee has been stiff since I first injured it, and it's worse now. It also hurts again. Some of my friends want me to get an MRI, but I don't know. Even with an MRI/X-ray, unless it's some serious damage, won't doctors just say to rest it? If it is serious damage, the only option would be surgery, which doesn't guarantee that my knee will be restored to how it was before + painless. My logic tells me that I was too active and should take a few weeks off to rest it/do some at home physical therapy exercises for it, my health anxiety is making me think my knee will never be normal again, and my friends are telling me I should get an MRI "just to know what's wrong." I have shitty health insurance btw

>>546004Firstly eat magnesium pills every day for cramps that's really important especially if you said you're exercising.
I'm figuring out what illnes i have for a half of a year now, so far it seems like a rare chronic viral infection in my lungs and brain. I just don't have money for a fucking offical test so i had it done on an alternative machine but that means i can't get antivirals atm because doctors are elitists. Fucking hate my country and Europe's uwu free healthcare is a fucking lie. Anyway good luck figuring this out it could be something especially the peeing thing and migranes seem like something strange is happening. I have dizzyness as well and had really bad chest pain my left side when i had my worst episode for two months. Is your temperature normal? Even a slight long term raise in temperature signals chronic illness.
When i went to the hospital i was also at a neurologist but besides him testing my balance and hitting my knees he didn't really do anything and wanted me to get my spine punctured, so not much of a diagnosis there. Hope it's different elsewhere.

>>545445Ah yeah I’m from Canada and my dentist specializes in jaw, I can always ask for a diagnosis by him in July and see what he says.
It’s improved a lot since Jan when I first noticed. I caused it myself by wearing an ill fitting retainer for two nights and my mouth couldn’t open without pain after that. Now it can open fully pain free. It’s also not as bad in terms of diagonal opening, it got better but it’s still there. I couldn’t eat chewy things like steak for two months but now I can. I think it kinda fixed itself but not really? Maybe I gotta buy a mouthguard…

>>546004Are you on the spectrum?
Many of your symptoms seem to come from dysregulation of your nervous system, which is a very common comorbidity of autism/adhd. It can manifest as all sorts of weird shit like the hypermobility, fatigue, pains and cramps you mentioned, but also things like fluctuations in blood pressure, being out of breath even when not moving, inability to regulate your temperature, all sorts of digestion issues

>>546249Yes 100%. I've been there with similar ferritin levels. At my worst I'd go to sleep as soon as I got home at around 5-6pm, sleep until 6-7 am and wake up feeling like I had pulled an all nighter. Yawn all day from exhaustion, repeat. I was also crying a lot for no real reason, just felt like utter shit and my nails were brittle. The only thing I don't recognize from your list is feeling cold or hungry, but symptoms vary.
>I have started supplementing iron last week with no luck yet.It's a slow process, there's a real chance it'll take months for your ferritin to recover. More if you have absorption issues or lose too much blood internally or on your period.
Is your HB good? Do you know the source of your deficiency?
No. 546358
>>546345the cold may be unrelated. the hunger i think is caused by my meds no longer working/the stress/maybe low dopamine/expended energy when i workout, from the low ferritin. your words make me feel less despaired but im still so frustrated. my hb is decent, too decent to get transfusions. i suspect my ferritin tanked due to my always heavy periods (maybe i have fibroids too) and vegetarian diet. my doctor knew ive had on off anemia issues so doubly frustrating having to fight like this.
your words help a lot. but god im flipping shit with what energy i do have because this is no way to life, hardly able to function. it doesnt feel fair. i hate to whine but i can hardly sit and write in a diary, do crafts or fucking keep up my exercise regimen. then after all day in bed i cant decide what to prioritize, or if i am able to push myself for a few hours, i spend the res lt of the day in bed. i cant believe im still blaming myself over this, but im so angry for my uselessness.
sorry for the block of text. at my wits end

>>546237>>546089>>546093Thanks for your responses. Interesting some of you mention temperature regulation, I'm actually an excessive sweater, so the heat drenches me, and I'm allergic to my own sweat (which has been diagnosed).
I've never been properly assessed but myself and everyone close to me is fairly certain I'm autistic. Would it help to get assessed for that with the diagnostic process?
I'll start checking my temp more often, and see if that shows anything. Thank you for your insights!
