Hiii, I’m actually 23 as I’m writing this lol, but I just got done with my ultrasound biopsy (maybe an hour or so ago) so I thought I’d share to ease anyone’s mind that might be in a similar situation or has a biopsy coming up and is nervous. The actual procedure didn’t hurt at all and it was super fast. I asked the doctors if I could cover my eyes because needles freak me out and they were very understanding and gave me a towel to cover my eyes:) they also gave me a warm towel for my legs because the room was a little cold lol, so they went above and beyond what I expected. I also asked them to go over every step before actually doing it and doing a little countdown, I think that helped with my anxiety. Please advocate for yourself if you’re anxious like me! The lidocaine felt like getting a vaccinated basically (I have nothing else to compare it to) except on my breast😂? I didn’t feel any burning sensation like some people say, just a tiny pinch for a second in each area they inserted the needle into. As for the tool they use for the actual biopsy(not sure what it’s called), I was told I might feel some pressure while it’s being inserted, but I didn’t feel it whatsoever. I also didn’t feel it every-time they took a sample or when they removed it. There was a loud clicking noise every-time they took a sample but it didn’t startle me because they counted down each time. They gave me a few ice packs and some Tylenol in the end and some instructions for post biopsy care. I’m a little sore now but nothing I can’t handle personally. I will do a little update once I get my results:) let me know if you have any questions!

As the title says I’m 22F, I recently had a bilateral breast ultrasound for two palpable lumps. I just opened the report on the website and wanted to share while I wait.

Findings:
Right breast:
At 6:00, 1 cm from the nipple, there is a 2.5 x 1.2 x 2.2 cm lobulated, circumscribed hypoechoic mass.
No suspicious right axillary lymphadenopathy.
Left breast:
At 12:00, 4 cm from the nipple, there is a 2.0 x 1.1 x 1.8 cm predominantly oval, circumscribed hypoechoic mass.
Impression:
Suspicious palpable mass in the right breast.
Ultrasound-guided biopsy recommended.
BI-RADS 4.

I’m waiting for the biopsy (July 6th) and it’s making me feeling anxious. Has anyone had a similar ultrasound report, that turned out to be benign? I don’t have any family history of breast cancer, but the BI-RADS 4 scared me a bit and I can’t help but think of worst case scenario because of how anxious of a person I am😕 also if you have had biopsy before did it hurt a lot? I think I’m having an ultrasound biopsy, my breasts are on the smaller size and I’ve heard that sometimes that can make it more painful, thank you if you read to the end🩷

Hi, I’m a 22F that was diagnosed with ADHD 2 months ago. For a little context I started on 20mg Adderall XR but the crashes at the end of the day were brutal, and I wasn’t getting too many benefits that outweighed the cons. Psychiatrist put me on 50mg of Vyvanse for a month, it helped with my impulses, my emotional regulation and some of the other executive functions that I was struggling with. It also helped me slightly with staying on task at first (for the first few days, then that benefit died out) which finally gave me hope. 2 weeks ago my psychiatrist upped the dose to 70mg since I mentioned to him that staying on task or even starting tasks in the first place was still a big issue for me. He suggested we try that and if I still feel the same, we could try adding a booster. So far the 70mg has felt exactly like the 50mg, I have not felt any significant changes. I’m 5’2 and before the meds I was 119lbs. I was extremely unhappy because a lot of the weight came from random binging at night, so starting the meds actually helped with controlling that. I have always been someone that was naturally more on the skinny side, so that weight gain from the impulsive eating was brutal for my self image. But the truth is I have not been eating good lately, I weighted myself today and I’m around 100lbs. A week ago I was 102lbs. I told myself I’d be happy dropping to 105lbs and maintaining that, but it’s been extremely hard even eating a full meal at the end of the day or sometimes I will literally forget to eat throughout the day. Also I have not been able to sleep before 12-1am, this makes it very hard for me to even make a proper breakfast before I go to work and before the food suppression kicks in. I will usually have an everything bagel with cream cheese in the morning but that’s as far as it will go lately. I used to have yogurt bowls but the tiredness I feel from not sleeping enough makes it so hard to want to do anything in the morning(I felt this way even on 50mg). I take my medication around 8am on weekdays since that’s when I usually leave for work. Do have any tips? I know I need to force myself to eat more because the amount I’m eating isn’t enough but how did you manage not eating enough or rather what did you change to be able to eat enough? I’ve heard smoothies throughout the day can help since it doesn’t feel like an actual meal, but I wanted some different opinions. Also should I ask to be lowering the dose back to 50mg since 70mg isn’t making a big difference? Thank you guys:)
