I(21F) height is 5’0” weight is 103lbs have ate a 10mg THC+CBD 4 hours ago and experienced hallucinations 2 hours in. I was face timing my friend and have imagined her whispering to me something and have put the phone to my ear and said what repeatedly then hang up and texter her and she said she wasn’t whispering. I remembered hearing that if you hallucinated after weed then that you are at risk for developing psychosis.

I (20F) noticed this bump on my mole in my arm. It's new. I don't smoke or anything. Im 158 cm and 65 kg. Please help.

I have these episodes that happen about once a week or every two weeks. The main part is my eyes stay squinted, I can force them open briefly but it’s more comfortable to let myself squint.

Over time they have become more and more intense, my mom remembers me occasionally squinting one eye at around 4 y/o but thought nothing of it.

The main triggers I have found for them so far is extreme fatigue & caffeine but even with getting good sleep and rarely drinking caffeine, it is still ongoing.

My mom has recorded clips of the episodes very close to my eyes and you can see my eyelids almost twitching at a very fast pace.

Sometimes when I’m focusing on a hands-on task like painting it will briefly pause but returns once I stop.

Other times during the episode my head will jut forward in a very sudden manner, almost like a tic and/or my head will just rotate fully left or right without trying. It primarily turns to the right though.

If the episode is intense enough it can take me a few minutes to get a point across and I often forget what I’m trying to say, despite that I can usually fully understand what someone is saying to me.

I have a history of myoclonic and grand mal seizures, (starting around 10-11) and I take daily medication like Lamotrigine and Levetiracetam. I also deal with several inflammatory and hypermobility issues like Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and HSD.

I've been told this is PNES, but I’ve yet to find someone with PNES/FND with even slightly similar episodes. Also I’ve been in therapy for it since 2024 and there has been no changes to its frequency or severity.

Something very odd started though, a few months back my nephew (9) started having these blinking episodes very similar to mine. Much less severe but it’s the same concept, his also happen when he is tired or has had a ton or caffeine.

When his mom talked to the pediatrician about it, they said it did seem like some sort of tics but they didn’t want to do anything yet because his ADHD medicine is working for him.

I saw a movement specialist a couple months back about it and he did say it seemed like tics but at the same time he was very convinced my mental health was bad (PTSD & OCD) and requested a Psych appointment.

The Psychiatrist had a long appointment with me and by the end of it she felt while I may have had issues with PTSD in the past I seem fine now, and OCD seems to not be present. That movement specialist told me after those results that I need to exercise.

Today I had a follow-up with Neurology for my epilepsy and I saw a NP instead of my normal Doctor. When I explained it all to her, she was the first one to truly say that there’s a possibility it isn’t PNES/FND.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this? I included a picture of the notes from today’s appointment with the NP.

Note: I have had a vEEG done and I had short versions of the episodes but no abnormal electrical charges happened. I would post a video of the episodes but they show my face of course and I don’t feel comfortable doing that. Also all of the personal appointments & testing I have mentioned have taken place at a major hospital that ranks high nationally and is #1 in my state.

should I go to the doctor? dog bite happened approximately 40 hours ago. known dog, up to date on rabies vaccines, and has not had any contact with wildlife (inside dog, supervised outdoor time only). bit during medical episode, non aggressive outside of them, so I put off going to the doctor because my state (in the US) doesn’t have a one-bite rule and the doctors would call animal control to report the bite if I went in. my vision is perfectly fine, I would’ve gone in if it wasn’t, and we have wound cleanser and antibiotic ointment at home which I’ve already used. my eye doesn’t hurt but if I keep my eye open for too long my eyelid starts to hurt and my eye will water (but even before this i had very watery eyes and would cry for no reason from them). i took tylenol while it was actively bleeding (1000mg) and again last night (1500 mg) took ibuprofen (600mg) about five hours ago.

other medicine list:
prozac 40 MG
lamictal 100 MG
melatonin 5 MG (as needed)
adderall IR 20 MG—haven’t taken in about a week

EDIT: I did go to urgent care, they accepted that I refused to give them information on the dog that bit me, and they told me I was borderline having to go to the ER but they’ll give me injection antibiotics to hopefully get me off that borderline and a prescription for oral antibiotics.

I have really bad hip dips and I have been working out a ton to resolve them.

Is there any chance I change my fat distribution to my hips or is it going to have to be muscle. This is literally ruining my life so any help is appreciated.

She initially used the wrong stitch and she gave me lidocaine but i guess it didn’t work all the way because it still hurt pretty bad every time she put the hook through. She wants to check up with me tomorrow and she had to redo stitches like 4 seperate times so I’m just making sure I’m good. Sorry for the bad picture it’s all i got before they put bandaids on that they said i can’t take off

43F, diagnosed with pneumonia Dec 25.

This is a weird question I know. In December last year I went to Emergency with bad coughing / asthma and fever. I ended up being diagnosed with pneumonia. But my question isn’t about me, it’s about someone I saw in the ER while I was being wheeled to the X-ray rooms.

I was looking around as they transported me and in one cubicle, I saw a person laying in a bed with a towel covering their face. The towel was branded with our state health department logo, so it was a hospital towel. They appeared to be completely motionless, flat on their back, with their arms loose at their sides. The lights were off in the cubicle but the curtain was drawn open (obviously, as I could see in).

I had my chest xray and was wheeled back, all within the space of around half an hour. On the way back I looked again and they were still there, exactly the same position, with the towel still completely covering their face.

It very much seemed to me that this was a recently deceased person who was covered for privacy. But it doesn’t really make sense. Why would they leave the curtain open for all to see? Why would they still be there half an hour later? And would they really use a towel to cover them rather than a sheet?

But also: what other possible reason could there be for a seemingly unconscious person in the ER to have a towel over their face in a darkened cubicle? It’s a mystery that keeps popping into my mind ever since, as it really disturbed me at the time, especially being seriously ill and feverish myself.

Trigger warning possible miscarriage 33 years old, Female, 5’7, 200lbs , smoker, methadone only medication, healthy over all for the most part . Last known menstrual about 3/4 months ago. It stopped randomly and I kept taking pregnancy tests but they were all negative. For weeks I still took tests bc I was nauseous and boobs tender but negative still even 2 months after sex.
What I thought was my period came 2 days ago
WORST cramps ever followed by eventually passing this.
After I passed it the cramps immediately subsided and I felt better.
Sent to my PCP and she made room for me to come in tomorrow but in meantime I’m freaking out. Any ideas what this is?

Age: 15 Sex: Female Height/weight: 158 cm / 73 kg Medical history: OCD, social anxiety, possible depression Medication: Fluoxetine 10 mg

Around 7:30 AM today, I left my house and was startled by a fluttering animal flying above me. I could hear and see it fluttering, but it was dark, so I couldn't identify it with certainty. I suspect it may have been a bat.

I didn't notice any definite physical contact, bite, or scratch. However, because the encounter happened unexpectedly, I'm unsure whether accidental contact could have occurred.

I'm concerned about rabies and would like to understand whether this situation warrants medical assessment.

I have OCD and anxiety, which are making the uncertainty particularly distressing. I'm aware of this, but the animal encounter itself was real; my question is specifically about the medical risk associated with what happened.

My question is:

• If a suspected bat flies close past or above someone, with no known physical contact, is medical assessment indicated?

I sincerely apologize for posting. My OCD obsession isn't about rabies, but this animal encounter today is making me very anxious. I just started taking fluoxetine and I'm currently getting treatment for my psychiatric problems.

30f edit usa/united healthcare i haven't been to the doctor in decades until now. I have a bit of weight on my stomach but that's part of the reason I wanted labs. Because it's all pooling there as my limbs fade away. I went to a clinic to ask for blood tests to see if they could see anything obvious. My mom has pcos and hypothyroidism, which I told them, and many of my symptoms point to either of those or anemia or maybe b12 deficiency

I wasn't on my period, but I did say I wasn't sexually active or planning to be so was I denied bc this was for my own benefit and not procreating? Should I lie and say it's ruining my sex life for my male husband?

they just dismissed me and made me leave without getting bloodwork, no explanation. It's a 7a-7p clinic and I was there at 3 on a not busy weekend. EDIT this also happened with two pcp's I tried

symptoms include sudden and insane hairloss on my head (and brows, but that was a while ago it started), growing more terminal hairs everywhere (stomach, chest, even more neck/chin, arm hair getting darker), shit like acne or scrapes taking forever to heal, more fatigue than normal (everyones tired i know, drink coffee I know. I don't drink caffeine), and gaining weight only in stomach but everywhere else is scrawny (used to be bottom heavy. Boobs never grew past 12 tho)

I don't smoke at all, drink maybe 3x a year, no drugs, no pills, nothing. So tell me why

NHS Scotland - F30, Inflammatory Arthritis, Ulcerative Colitis, Permanent Ileostomy and CPTSD due to DV. Currently on Updacitinib to control arthritis.

For two weeks now I’ve been experiencing weakness in both my legs, pain in lower back. Struggling to mobilise independently and requiring use of my crutches and needing assistance from my husband to get up from the couch etc. I become extremely breathless when moving around, and have been found to be tachy when on a monitor. I’ve been seen by A&E twice, after a referral from GP OOH, I’ve been to my GP twice and had a steroid injection. Seen my rheumatologist today and he has raised concerns that it could be neurological and that I need to have an urgent MRI to check for nerve damage or inflammation and if the MRI is clear, he is suggesting Neurology review me and consider an FND diagnosis.

While I understand all these conditions can be linked, I feel the possible FND diagnosis is really knocked me for six. I feel so sad and deflated. All I have heard about this condition is that it is what they diagnose you with when they don’t have answers (or don’t believe you). My worry is that people (both in a personal relationship and professional) will assume I am mentally unstable and looking for attention. I just want to know if this is the opinion of other professionals.

I am a paediatric student nurse with lengthy experience of working in paediatric oncology and haematology so I am apprehensive about colleagues finding out about this potential diagnosis and judging me on this. Any insights welcomed, both positive and negative.

Hi, three weeks ago I had a surgery on my leg, around the knee. I chose total anesthesia. When I was admitted to the hospital, they gave me a gown and disposable socks and underwear. I put them all on before the surgery.

Then, before the anesthesia, they asked me to remove the gown and covered me with a blanket.

Then, when I woke up, the gown was back on, but my underwear (which I didn't remove before the surgery) was gone. It made me feel uncomfortable and disoriented, but I didn't ask anyone. The thing is, years ago, I had an experience of being sexually abused when unconscious (not by doctors) and now the uncertainty of what happened during the surgery and why was my underwear gone keeps bothering me.

Is it a normal procedure to remove the underwear once the patient is unconscious either during or after the surgery?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 23F, 159cm, 63kg, don’t smoke, diagnosed with DM1 in 2020, discoid lupus in 2022, investigated for SLE multiple times but didnt test positive for the specific SLE markers, but on a strong autoimmune regime. I posted about my severe HSV1 infection a few weeks ago, for which I was hospitalized 12 days, and currently am still being treated. However, the reason why I’m posting today is because a lot of people pointed out I’m very immunosuppressed, which is true. On Monday, my treatment plan was reevaluated and they concluded that I’m out of options for my lupus (I’m NOT in the U.S.). As mentioned before I’m currently on 35mg prednisone, 2000mg cellcept, 200mg hydroxychloroquine, 4mg baricitinib, 100mg minocycline, and I’m still having issues with my lupus. Over the past week, I’ve contacted among other Mayo Clinic, Stanford, Hopkins, Harvard and Cleveland for second opinions in terms of treatment plans, but personally I feel like getting a round of cyclophosphamide would be my best bet, as my disease is so severe. However, this would be very off label and drs here refuse to use biologicals or Cytoxan for my case as it’s not lupus nephritis or encephalitis. Does anyone know what my chances are of getting such treatment approved by any American treatment hospital for my case? I’m at my wits ends. Anyone good recommendations for American teaching hospitals that are likely to take my case?

I am an 18 year old female. I am not pregnant. I first presented with fatigue and a lump the level 2 region of my left lymph nodes four months ago. Over the next few months I slowly developed worsening night sweats, joint pain, and bone pain. The pain is mainly in my hips, shoulders, and spine, but over the last two weeks it has expanded to my ribs and my sternum. I moved to college around 2.5 months ago and since then I have gotten like two or three colds (my friends would also be sick at this time and we had the exact same symptoms). I don't normally weight myself because I have a history of some eating disorder behavior, but my friend got a scale so I tested it out. My last weight was in late May and I was 111.1 lbs, but when I weighed myself in mid August I was 96.7 lbs. (I am 5 foot 3 for height context)

I went to the wellness center and they ordered a TSH and some basic blood work. (I will include all my bloodwork results at the end). A few days later they had me go to the ER after I came in with shooting pain around the right side of my belly button, nausea, and left shoulder pain. They also ran a bunch of labs there and I got a CT Scan, everything came back normal so I was sent home. I went back to the wellness center around two weeks later on September 22 because my symptoms were getting worse. They did a mono spot test, T4 free and T3 free tests, and checked me for Lyme disease. Everything came back normal and they told me to make an appointment with an internal medicine doctor if my symptoms continue.

I saw a GI doctor on October 1st because I was having some extreme abdominal bloating (my skin was stretching to the point of pain) and because of the unexplained weight loss. The doctor thought I might have a weird form of Crohn's disease due to family history, but suggested I just try a fiber supplement and see how that works.

I saw an internal medicine NP on October 6th. I pointed out my symptoms and the lump in my lymph node. She noticed a few more and ordered a neck ultrasound for me. I had the ultrasound the next day and they noticed lymph nodes up to 3.5 cm in size, and a nodule on my right thyroid. It is worth noting that I woke up that morning sick with a cold (I had a stuffy nose). The NP then ordered a bunch of lab tests which I got done on October 8th. I have a family friend who is a doctor in Boston, so my parents put me on a flight there on October 9th.

I had a moment of almost passing out when I arrived in Boston, my vision started flashing yellow and I had to sit down for a few minutes. This was the first time this has happened to me. I went to get a bunch of lab work done on October 10th, and I almost passed out again during the blood draw. This is weird because it has never happened to me before (even though I have had lots of blood draws before) and we were only on the first vial. I have a CT Scan of my neck and pelvis/abdomen on the 11th. I then met with a lymphoma specialist on the 12th and he ordered more tests. I also had a biopsy done of my thyroid nodule and the originally noticed lymph node on October 19th.

The weirdness of this all comes from my labs. I tested positive for the original EBV antibodies (IgM), but no other antibodies. My CMV antibodies were very high, but my viral load was not detected. My doctor said that it is highly unlikely that I actually had back to back CMV and EBV because it only really happens in patients who are immunocompromised (which I have no reason to believe I am). However, he does not know which one is the false positive because I should not be having such a strong current reaction if I had past CMV, and I couldn't have had EBV for four months based on my antibody count. Also, my spleen is fairly enlarged, as is my liver, I have new nodules on my lungs that weren't there on my September CT Scan, and I have a small pericardial effusion. My ferritin levels are high and I am anemic even though my iron levels are good.

I am really scared and confused on what is happening. I would really appreciate any insight into what could be going on. We are still waiting on my biopsy results and a blood flow cytometry interpretation. I have included my bloodwork from the past year (in case trends are important), the CT scan results (if anything isn't listed in them it is because that organ/system was normal), my ultrasound results, and an EKG I had in May. The results are labeled with the date the bloodwork was done, and if a result doesn't have a date next to it then it was collected on October 10th.

Thank you so much for reading this, I know it is a lot of information.

Hello!

I’m 26M, 135 kg, and 177 cm. Before anyone judges, I’ve been dealing with severe depression while working 16 hours a day most days, with no weekends. On top of that, I had to flee my military-ruled country two years ago. I used to be quite fit and healthy, but the mental strain and pressure made my eating disorder worse, and sadly, it got the best of me.

I’m considering doing rolling 72-hour fasts: water fasting for 72 hours, eating one protein-rich meal, and then repeating. I was planning to do this for 90 days.

I’ve seen many people say they’ve done it, but my question is: how dangerous is it? As an immigrant, I can’t afford expensive medical bills, and I don’t want to put myself in a situation that requires hospital treatment.

22F, came back from work. Noticed this bump on my lip would like some advice on what it is and why it's happening. No kissing or anything, I do have the habit of biting my lips a lot, is it a factor of contribution. It doesn't hurt or anything just uncomfortable. Please help!

Chatgpt said ill have liver failure and im freaking out.

Hello everyone,
I had my appendix removed 27 years ago, and later underwent another procedure to remove adhesions. In the area I have marked, there is a thickened band of tissue beneath the skin that extends from the scar to the front of my hip. It is approximately twice the thickness of the surrounding tissue.
This has been bothering me for most of my life. From time to time, the area becomes inflamed and tender to the touch. The end of this band, right next to my hip, is particularly painful. When I press on the area, the pain sometimes radiates all the way up to my ribs.
The pain comes and goes. Sometimes I feel no pain at all, while at other times it can be quite severe.
Since this thickened band is close to the surgical scar, I suspect it might be scar tissue, although I am not certain.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar. I would also be grateful if a medical professional could offer some advice on what this might be and what steps I should take next

M27, how come my ankle still hurts despite having so much time to heal?

My areolas are quite big and they make me self conscious. They are the size of quarter. I’m petite and don’t have super big breasts so I feel like they look weird. Not going to attach a picture. My nipples are normal though.

Is there any way to change this? A procedure?
