I guess that old saying still holds water—one hour before midnight is worth way more than two hours after.
I mean, who would actually fall for something like that anyway?....
Hey there!
I've been dealing with diagnosed coxa valga since I was born. Growing up, my doctors were always pretty intense about it, constantly lecturing me about doing specific exercises, avoiding sitting for too long, and sticking to light weightlifting for my hips and stuff.
I'm curious if anyone else here lives with this condition? Has it actually held you back from anything significant? Personally, I don't really have issues unless I'm sitting way too long—like when I'm pulling an all-nighter studying for finals—and then I get some occasional aches.
I guess I'm wondering if I'm just getting lucky because I'm young, or if this isn't actually as big of a deal as everyone made it out to be.
I think I'm going to head to a clinic somewhere to get some bloodwork done and just have them run a full panel on me. I've been paying attention lately, and I guess I've noticed that I start feeling crappy pretty often right after I eat a heavy meal.
I'm honestly just worried it might be something like diabetes or some other bullshit. Last time I felt this way, my blood work came back fine, but they didn't actually test my glucose during that whole mess—at least, that's what one doctor told me, saying that's why nothing could be determined.
I usually just crash and pass out once it starts hitting me, so I'm probably not even sure how long it would actually last. But honestly, it wouldn't be more than an hour, I guess.
So, did you start using homeopathy strictly because of that?
Hey everyone.
About eighteen months ago, I started getting these sudden waves of weakness—maybe once or twice a day—where my heart would just start racing and my face would feel incredibly hot. It was pretty brutal; I couldn't get anything done except go lie down. Even basic stuff, like sitting at my computer, felt impossible during an episode. My arms and legs felt heavy, almost like they were made of lead.
Honestly, my doctors just kept running circles around me with tests until they basically gave up and sent me to a psychiatrist...🙏
So, on the advice of a friend, I decided to take matters into my own hands and get tested for mono (Epstein-Barr, I think?). Turns out, the results showed I had recently recovered from it, so they chalked all those episodes up to that.
Everything was fine for a year and a half after that, but for the last ten days, these exact same symptoms have been creeping back. They aren't happening quite as often yet, but when they do, it's the same racing heart, the heat, and that unbearable weakness.
I thought I heard somewhere that you only get mono once and then you're done with it, so I guess I'm wondering if there's actually a connection here?
It’s only been about ten days, so I haven't rushed to the doctor just yet. I’ve been browsing some forums, and maybe people deal with weakness caused by blood sugar issues? I've never really had problems with that before, but since I started college about a year and a half ago, my diet has been absolutely terrible. I still hit the gym about three or four times a week for fun and take some Centrum multivitamins.
Has anyone else dealt with anything similar, or does anyone have any actual advice?
