im 6’0” weight 175lbs. atarted taking meth recently.

never felt good off any dose of meth just a little more locked on, why does this happen, ive took like a .2 w no tolerance at all and just felt speedy. I get good icy clear not no cut bullshit that I tested. Can smb pls tell me why, I just use it like adderall but even adderall makes me feel better than meth at high doses. Please tell me why, im not mad tho if anything its a blessing cuz I don’t wanna be a homeless tweaker bum itching for the next hit I function perfectly and take tolerance breaks too.

18,5’2 , female, 44kg, taking: sertraline 50mg, amitryptiline 10mg, cerrezette. vape. diagnoses: pcos, asd and adhd, heavily suspected fibromyalgia and/or me/cfs.

i get these weird palpitations at random intervals, most commonly after standing up OR lying down but also will happen constantly randomly.

a few days ago my heart rate spiked to 185 simply from sitting up from lying down. i always have tunnel/dark vision when standing up, my iron is fine.

i went to a&e twice at the start of september for severe panic attacks that came on with no trigger, i just got chest pain and tightens all over. ECG, bloods and Xrays were all fine.

i have a lot of pain all over my rib/chest/back area and it’s difficult to know if i ever needed to go to hospital.

Basic info: F (15) 5’2 113 pounds
Day after stings: 14

I got stung on the neck, directly behind the ear and located slightly above the collar bone. The sting was by a non-lethal scorpion (the striped bark) so I assumed I was fine.

Symptoms: (out of the norm)

-Day 1: 9:30 pm sting, went to bed after.

- Day 2: neck stiffness

-Days 3-8:
stiffness slowly moves up and down the body (only on the half)

Days 9-11:
Stiffness, slight numbness, slightly heavy limbs.

Days 12-14:
Lethargy, feels like I have to fight to stay conscious occasionally, more recently trouble forming thoughts or speaking.

Today: all building symptoms still present, stings are slightly raised and a light brownish pink color. They resemble spider bites and have been slowly going down from how inflamed they were at the start.

I can preform small workouts, though with a lot of effort. I do PT for an unrelated reason a few times a week. It is quite difficult with these symptoms but I * *am able to complete the tasks.

Overall, I simply want to know if going to the doctor would be necessary. It will likely be a last resort due to family issues.

Thank you! Have a lovely day :D

I am 36, 6’2, 200 LBs and have been dealing with diagnosed brachial plexus injury for about a year and am looking for recommendations. I am active and workout 6 days a week with a combination of running and weight training. I am a teetotaler.

About a year ago, I first started having tingling/numbing sensations that was only in my right hand that started with the thumb, index, and middle finger. At first it was quite manageable to which I went to see a doctor in January 2026 who gave me a cortisone shot in my right wrist. The pain subsided but then I felt like it came back worst and I started to feel the tingling and numbness expand in my elbow to which I went back to the same doctor and he gave me another cortisone injection in my elbow in April 2026. After that worked for a little bit of time, I really began to notice the numbness and tingling radiated from my shoulder down to my hands. I went to the doctor again this past August 2026. There, he prescribed me methylprednisolone and Lyrica. After taking those, neither worked and I feel like I’m back to square one.

The symptoms arise when I hunch my shoulders, the tingling/numbness starts to radiate from shoulder down extending to my thumb, index, and middle fingers, when I wake up in the Morning the pain radiates, if I’m sitting down and stand up the pain radiates from shoulder down. It’s all on the right shoulder, I can still lift things but I started to slow down on heavy lifting and do less weights more reps. I never had any issues with this before. I also started heavy weight training around 2024. The pain does not happen when I stretch my neck looking at the sky or if I turn my neck or when I hold my wrists over doing the traditional carpal tunnel exercises. I do not have anything direct injuries to The area or painful to touch on my right shoulder. Sometimes now the pain feels like it’s expanding to tightness and fullness on the right side of my chest and radiates down (could be anxiety).

I am writing to see if anyone can point me in the direction to find relief? Should I get an MRI? I was doing some thoracic outlet stretches the past week and not sure if that helps? Anything helps and all
The best.

Im 35 year old female, 5'1, a little overweight but on a weight loss journey that's really going great.

Diagnosed with hashimotos thyroiditis, hyper mobility, chronic migraines, Idiopathic intracranial hypertension,chiari malformation 1, FND.

Currently on medication for all of the above bar hypermobility. I am also in the UK

My current issue is that my neurologist is adamant that none of my symptoms are related to chiari and its all just coincidental. Id like a second opinion but the only other neurologist is on personal leave and has been the last year. If I need to travel to actually be treated im happy to do so but im just looking for some other opinions as its alot of money.

The backstory is that ever since I can remember ive had weird issues with my neck and head. Things I can remember are:

Can't move my head into certain positions without immediate nauseating pain.

Having anything such as pillows, tops of seats etc. Pressed into the lower part of my head also creates an instant nauseating headache.

Clicking neck and feeling cracks and bubbles.

It has always felt unstable but thought I was being dramatic.

Had migraines since I was a young child.

Sudden weakness in various limbs

Tingling in face and limbs

Bladder incontinence on and off (also had my bowel do this for a month with no explanation)

Trigeminal neuralgia on and off my whole life

Ear whooshing

Dizziness

Gushes of clear fluid from my nose

Vision disturbances

I had a horrific recovery after an epidural that felt like my spine and brain were being electrocuted and crushed on a vice. Literally couldn't move

I was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension a year and a half ago out of nowhere. They said it was my weight however id been at rhe exact same weight for years and I have since lost a lot of weight and its feeling worse than ever. I was told the medication is managing it well at my last ct scan however I feel no better. Headache, pressure, vision problems, head rushing, ear whooshing, cant change positions without extreme dizziness and head pain. In February I woke from a nap with my entire right side numb, weak and floppy. After confirming it wasn't a stroke they said it was hemiplegic migraine (which i have had in the past). Im still numb, weak, severe pins and needles and pain. I now use a walking stick to get about or else I cant really go longer pwriods of walking outside due to pain and weakness.

I have had several "episodes" as I call them where ive loat consciousness and gone stiff as a board, wet myself, been non responsive. Come round ans felt groggy, super sore on my body and very weak and dizzy. Almost like im drunk. The neurologist ruled out epilepsy with a test but insists these are seizures and tried to give me anti seizure medication which I wont take. He said these are related to FND. Apparently my brain is so overloaded with issues it's having a little moment.

They discovered the chiari during an MRI when I was going through testing and treatment for the IIH. They have said that everything im experiencing is either migraines or fnd. The chiari was a coincidental finding and has no bearing on any of it. Im frustrated as my entire life has changed. I can no longer work as a seamstress as I cant see. I rely on my family to help care for me. I require aids and supports around my home. My life has been severely impacted by it l but they refuse to look into it more.

Is this worth paying privately? Travelling? Pushing against the system for more testing? Its going ti be an exhausting, stressful and long process if I do any of these. I have no idea if it's the right course.of action. Id love any input and advise and it would be gratefully received

I'm 15F, and my symptoms started around a month ago. Very small hard to pass poo in mostly thin pieces that took effort and lots of time to pass. Some mucus when I wiped sometimes. Then came the normal stool for two days max and then the same thing repeats itself again and again and again. I'm slowly adding fibre to my diet because a week before this happened I started to diet and cut out things like bread, which was my main source of daily fiber as I ate a lot in one day. (Like 4 pieces of 50/50 bread every day)I sometimes feel a sense of incomplete evacuation but there's nothing there most of the time and it takes effort for gas to come out too sometimes. I'm around 162 cm in height, 48 - 54 kg in weight, and it's been a fricking month and I just want to go to a doctor or smth and find out if it's anything serious like cancer or IBS, but my parents say it's nothing serious and are telling me to eat more food, especially fibre and that this started because of my diet and I'm drinking less water than usual. The water part isn't true though. They won't take me to a doctor because they think the doctor won't do anything. What do I do? Please, I actually can't live like this anymore.

I (F20) French. Has been dealing with a sickness that doctors can’t even tell what is wrong. And it's frustrating. Because I take my meds like they ask. And that thing sleeps for like a week and then came back !?

My symptomes: Beating in my stomach & intestins (like heartbeats), a thin line between uncomfort and pain in my eusophage. I loose appetite often. I wake up shivering to go puke nothing minutes later. Diareah with it. (Else it wouldn’t be fun). 2 days of constipation. Headacks. Sensibility to strong smells (like bad disgusting ones). Sensitive to touch on my stomach and intestins.

And as a Girl i have periods. Well those periods reanimate this sickness as well !

For the long story :

My pain started at 17years old. Where morning and bedtimes were horrible because I had my stomach that had some sort of contraction pain. Went to the doc. He gave me 1 month of omeprazole. It worked. I was fine for about half a year.

I move to my grandparents house. Same thing. But new symptomes. Headacks (fever possibly but they got no thermostat to check.) Doc again. Same medication. One month. Gone. Then I had the phobia of school cause my school sucked. So it reanimated it with new symptomes. Diareah every morning of the week except weekends. To a point where I did an anxiety attack in the bus.

Changed school now. Everything went back to normal as well as some new meds. Gaviscon who are really efficient.

And now !? Its back WITH NEW SYMPTOMES !? Puking which is the most annoying of all.

Tests I did :

\- Poo cell : came back negative.

\- 3 bloodtest : all came back negative.

\- A Camera passed throught my nose to my stomach : negative.

\- Echographie (the Xray to check for a baby) : negative.

On paper I am fine. But really. It's a hell. Class started a month ago ! And I already have 4 or 5 abcence already !? And I'm doing something I like and look foward to go to school for.

Theory:

\- long intestins : family thing.

\- Sensible stomach : not too sure but possible.

\- stress : I can stress a lot but I am aware of my own body and It is not related to "school or being afraid of people" like my grandpa says. Or else they are the reason of the stress !?

Also: i don’g drink, i don’t smoke. I don't drink energy or coffee drinks. Neither for tea.

I just don't understand what is wrong with me !? I am even on a sensible stomach diet. Which did lowered The pain since I'm 18. but it is still not enough. If anyone has similar stuff please. Tell me the tests you've done so I can perhaps ask a doctor for them.

Monday evening I'm scheduled for a neck MRI. I've had many an MRIs (both knees, lower back, left hip w contrast, right shoulder w contrast) but I'm really nervous about this one. My hip and shoulder MRIs were pretty painful having the contrast injected as the joints were very inflamed to begin with. I've received no information for my neck or where they inject the contrast. Would I be able to get some information on this? Will I be really sore for more than a day?

My father (70M, diabetic, India) was admitted with upper abdominal pain. He now has severe pain in both hips and the lower back, on a fentanyl patch plus tramadol. I'd really value opinions, especially from hem-onc, hepatology or radiology folks, while we work with his doctors.

**CT abdomen with contrast (triphasic):**

- Liver small (~10 cm), mildly nodular contour, i.e. chronic liver disease. Splenomegaly 16.4 cm, splenic vein 13 mm, prominent gastrohepatic/perigastric/mesenteric collaterals.

- Heterogeneous perihilar mass ~7.0 x 4.4 x 5.6 cm involving segments 1, 5, 4A and 8, with patchy arterial enhancement, venous washout and necrotic areas.

- It completely encases the main, right and proximal left portal vein, with tumour thrombus in the lumen. It encases the common hepatic, left hepatic and replaced right hepatic arteries without narrowing, and partially encases the proximal CBD (~180-240°). The proximal CBD shows mural enhancement; no IHBR dilatation.

- Multiple enlarged periportal, peripancreatic, para-aortic (largest 28 x 16 mm) and aortocaval nodes. Subcentimetric mesenteric and iliac nodes, and small paracardiac nodes.

- Multiple tiny omental/mesenteric nodules; minimal ascites.

- Grade I L5-S1 anterolisthesis with bilateral pars defect.

- Radiologist's impression: "suggestive of HCC". (An earlier CT elsewhere described the liver mass as being in segment 7.)

**Upper GI endoscopy:** small oesophageal varices (no red signs), mild portal hypertensive gastropathy, oesophageal candidiasis.

**Para-aortic lymph node excision biopsy:**

- H&E: atypical lymphoid infiltrate.

- IHC: CD20+, CD5+, CD23+, BCL-2+; CD10-, BCL-6-, MUM-1-, Cyclin D1-, CD30-; CD3 in background T cells; Ki-67 15-20%.

- Impression: low-grade B-cell lymphoma, CLL/SLL likely; correlate with peripheral blood and flow cytometry (not done yet).

**Bloods:**

- Hb 9.9, WBC 11,550, absolute lymphocytes 6,610, platelets 152k

- INR 1.23, total bilirubin 1.7, AST 49, ALT 54, ALP 167, GGT 203, albumin 3.6

- Creatinine 0.8, Na 132

- AFP: normal

**Not done yet:** liver biopsy (planned), flow cytometry, hepatitis B/C status (not known to us).

**My questions:**

1. What would you suspect the liver mass is: HCC alongside CLL/SLL, CLL/SLL involving the liver, Richter transformation, or something else (e.g. cholangiocarcinoma, given the hilar/CBD involvement)?

2. Is a liver biopsy essential before starting treatment, or would you treat the CLL/SLL first?

3. If this is CLL/SLL needing treatment, what would you consider at his age with chronic liver disease (BTKi, venetoclax, chemo-immunotherapy)?

4. If the mass is HCC with portal vein thrombus, what options are realistic?

5. Any advice on getting his pain under control while this is sorted out?

I know nobody can diagnose over Reddit, and his treating team will decide. I just want to understand the possibilities and ask better questions. Thank you.

She is about 20 weeks old and female. She has cystic fibrosis, and she has pancreatic insufficiency, which is being treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. She also has vitamins. Last time, she weighed about 5.5 kilograms and was about 60 centimetres long.

About 10 minutes ago, she ate some of what I was eating. It was yoghurt with berries and apple in it, which were cooked, and oats. It was my fault, I had her sitting next to me because she cries when she feels left out, and then when I had left the room, she been picking it up with her hand and putting it in her mouth.

I stopped her when I saw and then after that, she started crying. She seems to be breathing normally, I was worried she might be choking but it was all soft food so I don't think she is, but she won't stop crying, and I don't know what to do. I don't know if she's just upset by it, or if there's something wrong, but I'm really worried because I didn't mean for it to happen.
