Symptoms began around ‘08, decompressed in ‘15.
Vp shunt placed in ‘16 with around 15 or 16 revisions. My pain symptoms immediately following my decompression were massively worsened, but the tingling and numbness that was starting in my legs went away. My shunt solved my head pain, thank God, but I’m curious if my chiari malformation is just… good? I know not to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, risking paralysis, but is there anything else I should be avoiding or doing to prevent any need for another surgery on that? No one in my life takes this seriously and I’m starting to get more worried because now when I try to lift anything heavier than a gallon I get pain in my head. Sometimes I can feel the tingling again and it just makes me cry because I know it means I’m losing my legs.

First experienced a tardive dyskinesia episode in 2018 from reglan and immediately quit taking it, however this week while hospitalized I had a much more severe episode from compazine, despite years of taking it with no problems. I was only aware of the risk with reglan but now I know it can be caused by other medications, I’m wondering specifically what meds I need to be avoiding, and is this something that I will always have?
My last episode resembled a seizure and then a stroke w facial drooping. It lasted several hours and I’m glad it happened while I was hospitalized because my doctors got to see it. I’m hoping that since I stopped the meds it won’t happen again

11 years ago, a small growth was found incidentally during a CT scan for something else. Yesterday I had another CT scan and they saw it again, but said this about it:

Redemonstration of sclerotic lesion or cluster of sclerotic lesions in the right iliac bone which has increased in size and density. Differential diagnosis includes enchondroma and sclerosing bone dysplasia.

Having a biopsy later today but cancer runs in my family so I’m getting pretty nervous.

Any words of encouragement or things I should know? Thank you <3

Currently hospitalized originally with MRSA. But now they’re really worried about sepsis. This is my first experience w sepsis and I’m not sure what to expect. I’m on iv antibiotics right now

I recently had a portacath removed due to a klebsiella pneumonia and pseudomonas infection. Tried cefepime through a picc and midline with no luck. Vancomycin caused red man syndrome. Fluoroquinolones are contraindicated for me due to ehlers danlos. They had kept my surgical wound open and it’s finally sealed after almost 4 months now. I had cultures taken last week and then had a follow up with infectious disease specialist and was immediately sent to the hospital as I now have MRSA. They did an echo of my heart to make sure it hasn’t reached there but I haven’t gotten results yet. All I know so far is i will be on antibiotics for 4 weeks.

Why is this so painful? I feel like every inch of my body has been repeatedly stomped on or like I was in a car accident. My legs hurt so bad

Please help i still have love for someone I can’t be with. She’s been my fp for years, long distance, and although she’s an ex now, and I love my current partner, she’s still the one I monologue to in my head all day. I miss her but we’re not good for each other. Help?
