Alright, I'll give Geokorton a shot. Hopefully it won't kill me... I'm still young enough...🤣 😬
Thanks for the advice, fingers crossed it works. It might react to white gold too, so maybe I'll test some silver or yellow gold instead... worth a try.
She’s pure gold! It isn't constant pain, really... just whenever I move things around. It gets a bit awkward because my hair is long, so if it pulls near my nostril, it stings. Honestly, it feels like it hasn't even healed yet, despite the surgery being over a year and a half ago... I don't know. Maybe he hit a nerve or something... we'll see...😕 🙄
Quick question: I pierced my cartilage—the upper part of my ear—about a year and a half ago, and there’s still this lingering bit of discomfort... I'm not sure if it ever actually fully healed? It isn't red or anything particularly painful, but when I take my piercing out, there's this white stuff right inside the hole. Is that normal? And will the aching eventually just stop...
It seems like my urine odor changes based on what I've eaten... For instance, if I have pasta with mushrooms, I can definitely smell it when I go. I also find myself needing to use the restroom quite frequently; I usually go right before bed around midnight, but then I'm woken up again around 4 or 5 AM. The color is just a pale yellow... ????
Just looking for some info here... if someone develops a varicocele, does it actually affect urination or cause impotence? Like, does it create that constant urge to run to the restroom... specifically regarding bladder control? Thanks for any insight!!
Good grief, I’m dealing with something similar... a bit of a recurring issue... pains just to the left of my bladder area that flare up for a few minutes and then vanish. Since I'm a guy, I won't be needing a gynecologist... haha... I don't really pay much attention to it, assuming it'll just pass. It isn't constant, just pops up here and there before fading away. I have much bigger things on my plate right now, so this doesn't feel like a crisis... though maybe it should be, who knows... Eh...
Every year during Lent—specifically from Ash Wednesday through Easter—I cut out meat entirely. It's for religious reasons, sure, but also for my health. During those forty-odd days, I feel incredibly Q... and once I slowly start eating meat again, the difference is massive. And despite what some people might claim, I won't be told that eating meat all the time is a good idea.
Anyway, that’s not strictly about fasting, but still... Consider this a little bit of moral support for what you're doing. It isn't a bad habit; honestly, more people should probably do it. Food just isn't what it used to be...😁 Everything is overprocessed, too fatty, and obviously way too heavy on the meat. If you look back even ten or twenty years, meat was mostly a Sunday thing, and people were generally healthier... Nowadays, it's every single day and loaded with fat. It keeps going like that until a health issue pops up... and by then, it's often too late.
So, whenever I eat something, I get this intense heartburn sensation, then it eventually settles down... hopefully that’s just how it works...
But honestly, it's so awkward. Imagine being in the middle of an exam... total silence, and meanwhile, my stomach is just churning and growling loudly... ugh... it's genuinely mortifying!! Or anywhere else where you're expected to be quiet! At home, I can manage to deal with it... but I really have no clue why this started happening... what could be causing it!! I've tried charcoal capsules, and now I'm chewing on those natural papaya enzyme supplements someone suggested... nothing seems better or worse... I'm at a loss for what else to try. I guess I'll just wait for the results from the Mayo Clinic in New York City; they sent everything off for testing or whatever it is!!
That’s the issue—I can't make it because I'm not in the States right now. I already sent my mother to go in my place (at least to ask a few questions), but I won't be able to get there myself until Friday...
The reason for the endoscopy?! About a year ago, my gut started making these awful noises... feels like I'm going to explode. I saw a doctor about it, had an abdominal ultrasound, and did blood and stool tests. Everything came back normal, so he told me it was just irregular digestion. I tried everything he suggested, including cutting out foods that cause bloating. I even searched online for advice and tried all sorts of things, but nothing helps... Sometimes it's fine, but when those cramps start, they just won't stop. It’s becoming a real problem, too, like when I'm out with friends in a quiet place; I'm just sitting there waiting for it to happen. It's actually starting to mess with my head... Who knows what kind of beast is living in my stomach... maybe some animal is in there messing with me... 😳 😁 To be clear, this isn't that little growl you get when you're hungry—you know, where you press on your stomach for a bit, then grab a pastry and it settles down. This is just uncomfortable...
Anyway, the doctor decided to start from scratch—a full examination of the entire digestive tract...
Maybe one day things will finally settle down in there...
Since I can't make it to my doctor until Friday, I'm hoping to get some expert insight here...
I had a gastroscopy a week ago, and here is the endoscopy report:
ESOPHAGUS: mucosa and lumen appear normal
STOMACH: patent, normal folds and peristalsis, hyperemia of the antral mucosa with hyperemia and erosion of the corpus mucosa. Biopsy taken.
DUODENUM: Hyperemia and localized erosions in the bulb part. Proximal portion is normal.
Diagnosis: Erosive gastrobulbitis
Treatment: Nexium 1x20 mg daily until follow-up.
I was pretty caught off guard. Hearing I have gastritis was a shock, especially since I've never really dealt with stomach pain, heartburn, or acid reflux... nothing like that.
The doctor told me to take one Nexium tablet every evening. After just a few pills, I started feeling a slight burning sensation in my stomach. Now, about seven pills in, if I eat anything, the burning becomes quite intense. It feels like something is smoldering inside me... a sort of heat traveling through.
What should I do? Should I stop taking them, or is this a normal reaction while the treatment works? I don't want to overstep and upset my doctor...😕
But that’s the whole point... how do you even "predict" if you've been exposed? I’ve been reading up on this condition, and it’s clearly no joke... pretty serious stuff. But there’s nothing out there explaining the early warning signs. It feels pointless to schedule an appointment at the Mayo Clinic if I don't have a reason to be worried. The literature covers the treatment—surgery, specific diagnostic tests—but it stays silent on the actual symptoms. You know, things like loss of appetite, nausea, or localized pain......
How can you tell if someone's caught the flu? Beyond the standard doctor visits and tests... I’m wondering if there are any early warning signs. Any specific aches or physical changes that tip you off?! If you catch it, things could get pretty serious... Thanks for the input.
No, I definitely wasn't suggesting taking anything without a prescription. Not at all. I was just looking for some insight on those pills, especially since my doctor thinks this might be stress or diet-related. He isn't giving me much of a solution, though... and I tried what he suggested, but it didn't really do much. By the way, it’s not just when it’s quiet—I just used that as an example of how awkward it gets when your stomach starts growling in a silent room. No, I'm not wetting the bed, but it does wake me up early, maybe around 5:00 AM, so I have to head to the bathroom. As for it being psychosomatic, it's possible, though nothing has really changed in my life over the last few years to make things more or less stressful. My diet hasn't changed either; I eat the same things now as I always have, and it never caused issues before. It first happened back when I was scrambling to finish my last prerequisite for college... I had to get it turned in early because I just couldn't take the tension anymore, and ever since then, the rumbling hasn't stopped. Fine, maybe it was just nerves affecting my head... but I don't understand why it's still lingering. I honestly don't know what else to try to make it stop. It's incredibly irritating... I can't even focus during my lectures, just sitting there waiting for them to end.
Hi there. Not exactly a thrilling topic, I know, but it’s been weighing on me lately... I was catching up with a friend yesterday, and they suggested picking up some Tylenol or Pepcid. As far as I understand, those are for heartburn and similar issues, so if anyone could shed some light on them, I’d appreciate it. I’m feeling pretty skeptical about Pepcid, though. Even if my doctor prescribes it, I’ve read about the potential side effects and I'm just not sure how "beneficial" it actually is for the system... wondering if it will even help much. Of course, I’ll need to see a doctor before taking anything. But I'd love to hear if anyone here has firsthand experience with them. Thanks for any input or advice.
Honestly... Bloating is definitely on the table. I did some digging because I didn't really have a name for it before, and it makes sense. My stomach swells up like I’ve swallowed an elephant even after a tiny snack. But nothing I read mentions this constant, nonstop gurgling... Being a college student, I mostly just eat whatever is available, but since this started, I’ve been watching what I eat and trying to chew everything thoroughly. Still, no real change. If anyone could suggest what to eat—or what to avoid... I also forgot to mention the frequent trips to the bathroom. It feels like my bladder is about to burst, but there's barely anything there. Once I finally go, the gurgling stops for a bit. That wouldn't be related to the prostate, would it? Hopefully not... Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
True, I spend quite a bit of time studying and sitting... though not constantly... What would we expect from people working in offices and stuff? If they don't move for a few hours, they just sit there... I'm not sure if that's actually an issue?! Anyway, I constantly feel bloated, like I'm filled with air!! My stomach is driving me crazy... ugh!!
Hi everyone. So, I’ve been dealing with this constant, annoying stomach rumbling lately. It doesn't matter if I've just eaten or if I'm starving... it just happens. I went to see my doctor, who ordered a bunch of tests—bloodwork, urine, stool samples, an abdominal ultrasound—and everything came back perfectly normal. But it doesn't feel normal to me. It’s starting to get to my head... especially when I'm in quiet places like a lecture hall or a church service, just waiting for the noise to start. I'm a college student, and it's honestly mortifying when my stomach starts acting up during a lecture or an exam and everyone turns to look at me. I've tried everything—peppermint tea, sticking to still water, cutting out coffee, watching my diet as much as possible... nothing seems to work. If anyone has dealt with this or knows how to make it stop, I'd appreciate the help. I can't be the only one going through this...
