Unfortunately, you're stuck waiting now...

We’re talking about a country where, after a major pileup on the highway, you hear pleas over the radio for blood donations because the local hospital is completely tapped out..

And you’d actually wait six months?

Unfortunately,
but these kinds of disasters are expected. Just call it an acceptable risk.

liver

haha
it's been forever since I heard someone use that word

I'll try to whip something up and let you know😁 (though I'd hate to waste the Cola 🙂).
😁Maybe something about cleaning scale or rust. I'd rather give a steak to my dog.

Sure.
👍

It’s not like I’m defending Coca-Cola because it’s actually good...
but boldeagle3, did you actually try what you wrote about, or are you just repeating something you heard somewhere?
Try putting a steak in a Cola and then let me know how that works out for you.🙂))
😛 😛 😛

If she actually gave you hydrogen peroxide instead of ephedrine, that’s a massive screw-up. I can't even wrap my head around how a mix-up like that happens...
Good call on checking. Your nose isn't going to be ruined by some hydrogen peroxide.
Honestly, what can I say? Next time, just double-check the label. Personally, I’d name the pharmacy right now so everyone knows who they're dealing with.
I honestly don't know.

Thanks for the input, everyone
If anyone has a link to some images or anything similar, send them my way...
Or any other advice would work too...
😁

Anyone know which exercises actually work for glutes? Looking to tone them up and lean out a bit.
Thanks

A bit off-topic here... this thread was actually pretty useful...
needs more engagement
🙂

So, where are you from?

granitebadger25..thanks for the minor corrections...that sarcoidosis thing is an extremely interesting disease...turns out I just found out it's mostly treated as having an unknown cause🙂

By the way, do you know the approximate prevalence rate in the US population? (Assuming there aren't many studies on it, unless I'm wrong)
And what's it most commonly linked to here in America?
thx
😉

Hmm... I haven't seen many cases of sarcoidosis myself, though I did happen to lead a seminar on it once. It’s definitely not a joke. Neurosarcoidosis is rare, but it exists. And besides lung involvement—like hilar lymphadenopathy—sarcoidosis can hit just about any organ since it's an autoimmune disease.
But we shouldn't be dwelling on sarcoidosis right now. We need to focus on what our forum member actually has from that list. Let's try to pin down what might be causing this erythema nodosum.

Personally, I think it's more likely to be streptococcus or perhaps some medication triggering antibodies that settle in the skin...

Ugh. Kimberly Williams, let us know what happened so we aren't just guessing here.

Rest and removing whatever is triggering this is necessary. That means treating the streptococcus infection or taking medication... Systemic treatment typically involves salicylates or NSAIDs (like indomethacin). You could also look into using a 5% potassium iodide solution.
Corticosteroids work locally....

As for why this happens... it’s likely due to antigen-antibody complexes depositing in the skin...

That's all I've got... (based on my recent dermatology exam)

My advice... check your current medications and get a chest X-ray to rule out sarcoidosis (hopefully it's not that)

Best,
👋

Alright, let's get into it. What actually triggers erythema nodosum?
It’s a pretty vague condition if you can even call it that. It usually shows up on the extensor surfaces, most often on the shins. It starts out red and then turns a bruised, livid purple.

Triggers can range from certain medications, like sulfonamides, to a recent streptococcus infection, some viruses, or even sarcoidosis.

It tends to hit women more frequently.

Look, first off, it’ll pass. She should pull herself together in about six weeks at most. Just keep in mind she's prone to relapses, and when an episode hits, it usually drags on for two or three weeks.

I’m pretty sure I’ll make it to 100.

What do you mean, "fabric"????

😕
😁

How intense are these cramps actually?
Where exactly do you feel them most?
How long have they been going on?

Also, have you checked if your shoes are the problem?
Is it the material of the shoes or your pants?

Does this happen constantly, or does it eventually let up?

God, I'm getting bored asking myself all these questions...

Anyway, talk soon.
(Maybe a handsome massage therapist is the real solution here... haha 😉

Anyone else deal with their blood pressure dropping during their period? It’s a thing where they already have low BP, and then it just tanks...

For me, I end up passing out if I have to stand still for too long. Luckily, it's only those three critical days, so I try to avoid it, but life happens—I still have to get to class or hit the grocery store...

The stomach cancer marker is CA
though it isn't exactly specific either
