#Seeking medical attention

[nursing-and-wellness23]

It's important not to ignore signs or symptoms in the hope that they will go away. Different people have varying attitudes towards seeking medical attention, with some seeking help at the first sign of a problem while others postpone it even when the symptoms could be linked to dangerous conditions. In the medical world, signs are observable by others, such as a rash or elevated blood sugar levels, while symptoms are experienced by the individual and cannot be seen or measured. Symptoms can indicate an underlying illness, injury, or medical condition and are categorized as remitting (improving or disappearing), relapsing (previously resolved symptoms returning), or chronic (long-lasting).

Certain symptoms require immediate medical attention. These include chest pain or pressure that radiates to the jaw or upper back, shortness of breath, intense headaches, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), unexplained weight loss, unusual bleeding, sores or wounds that won't heal, intense flashes of light or increased floaters in the eyes, swelling of the legs without injury, sudden or severe abdominal pain, fever above 103 degrees Fahrenheit or a persistent lower grade fever, sudden confusion or change in mental status, severe dizziness, chronic fatigue accompanied by other concerning symptoms, changes in bowel movements or habits, weakness, numbness, tingling, or facial droop (symptoms of stroke), changes to the breast or nipples, and suicidal thoughts or feelings of worthlessness.

It's crucial to know your body and recognize when something feels different or wrong. Not all conditions have noticeable symptoms, and some may only manifest in later stages. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to changes, no matter how subtle, and communicate with your doctor about how you're feeling. Ignoring symptoms may delay diagnosis and treatment, so it's essential to listen to your body's signals and seek appropriate medical care.

actually all this talk of wellness trends and health has reminded me of something.

if you're AFAB, you may or may not known what a decidual cast is. this can be useful to know, for example - one of my friends called me crying/terrified because she thought that she had internal bleeding or something else critically wrong, and by chance i happened to actually be able to look at a photo and be like ah, i think i know what's happened here.

#but also always seek medical attention and professional opinions! in this case it was just helpful to calm her down #also super freaky so useful to know #katie rambles

Anakin on a hologram meeting with the Jedi council while on route to Coruscant after a long campaign:

Anakin clearly exhausted but sitting through the meeting: Yes Masters.

Mace: Skywalker, where is your padawan? She needs to give her report.

Anakin: She’s currently at the medbay, she was injur-

Echo bursting into the room: General! The Commander! She-

Anakin: [Let’s out the most exhausted sigh he’s let out on this whole meeting] She escaped the Medbay?

Echo: Yes general. Kix is leading the torrent to catch her. We could really use your help.

Obi-Wan: Seriously Anakin-

Rex: With all due respect General, Commander Cody himself tells me that you are worse.

Council: . . .

[Loud fighting noises are heard from outside, the sound of things falling over and stun bolt shots and lightsabers are heard]

Ahsoka clearly drugged yelling so loudly they hear it in the hologram room: KIX HAS MORE IMPORTANT PATIENTS! ITS JUST A FEW BLASTER BOLT WOUNDS! YOU’RE NOT TAKING ME ALIVE!!!!

Echo: That’s my cue to go leave. [Runs out of the room setting his gun to stun]

Anakin and Rex: We’re coming with you. [Follows Echo]

Council: [Concerned glances to one other]

having a really awesome time because my lung is doing weird things again but i have this insane combination of a super high pain tolerance + severe hypochondria that makes me completely incapable of being able to determine if something is actually going wrong or not. things feel Kind of Bad. is this a feeling that would be sending most people to the floor? do i only care about the feeling because im constantly hypervigilant to every sensation i feel and its something most people would totally ignore? who knows

#legit have no sense of if something is a problem unless im actively dying #i have dealt with entire lung collapses without seeking any medical attention #i have sent myself to urgent care over what turned out to be a sore back muscle #literally zero judgement abilities #and i live in americaaaaaaa so there is no way in Hell i am going to a hospital again unless im at a 9 on the pain scale or i stop breathin

i have been diagnosed with “rather severe” fibromyalgia

#and ‘likely’ the me/cfs double whammy but he couldn’t determine my #degree of PEM so i’d have to find someone else to confirm it #pegasus speaks #they told me i was gonna have to stay on the psych ward until monday or tuesday if i wanted to see the rheumatologist #bc they don’t work weekends and there is no outpatient option #(told me this AFTER i had been discharged .. like after they had cleaned my room and put someone else in it) #i’d been waiting for them to come see me all day and then evening rolled around and still nothing #and i’ve been fighting for this for years so i agreed. but i cried so hard the doctor arranged for an on-call to see me #did the whole physical and ultrasounds and went over all the blood work and my history again #and i got to go home after #i’m so thankful to that man #feels like shit to know how poor the prognosis is but i’m comforted to have a concrete starting point #to know i’m not delusional after 6-7 years of seeking medical attention for this #i’m both saddened and so relieved #and above all exhausted

I have some advice that can be useful

remember to let your dishes dry before putting them into cupboards or drawers cause mould can grow on them if they are wet and it wouldn’t be cool if you were brought down by accidentally ingesting a random mould and not going down by super poisonous mushroom or fighting a mushroom themed supervillain

also if have housemates and you see that one of them didn’t dry a glass properly just dry it with a cloth or something. And if you see your dishes have mould in/on it thoroughly scrub it with baking soda, bleach or vinegar then rinse it out a couple times, and if you wanna be safe leave it for a while and wash it again with soap

and kids remember to look inside of cups and glasses before using them, I’ve nearly drunk out of a mug that had straight up algae growing in it cause it was wet when I put it away and I was storing it upside down and today I nearly drank water from a glass with mould growing in it cause it wasn’t dry

stay safe, don’t eat wild mushrooms and check your dishes for mould

#stay safe out there #dont die #seek medical attention if worse case scenario #I just remembered most users are from the us #Just be cautious if you’re from there

getting yelled at by my roommate for calling - not even the cops - medical first responders. i did not bring fucking cops to the house. i just don't want my partner to die of rabies and i exhausted every other fucking option first. having so much fun.

#he fucking took off when a fire truck came round the bend. we'd been talking. openly. with him present. #about needing to seek serious medical attention. not like it was a fucking surprise either. #and he was belitting it when we were doing that. #i hate. this. fucking man. #personal

[bunnihearted]

being in pain is so isolating nd alienating lol >.<

#bc the thing is nobody cares abt your pain. like that's simply human psychology #so even if that's how the human mind is built nd it's understandable. it still sucks to receive so little sympathy nd understanding #like i mean ppl get sick nd tired of u when u talk abt the pain nd just want u to stop complaining nd be positive #nd they're rlly unsympathetic nd just want u to shut up nd do the things you're supposed to do without whining #so yes idk having to shut up abt it makes me feel like im stuck all alone inside this miserable bubble #either way im getting better nd better at not talking abt it!!!!! even on here i dont say like 80% of what i wanna vent abt sksksks #ppl always treat me as if im exaggarating or just anxious nd worried nd that i need to relax nd that everythings fine #so i've gotten way better at keeping it inside nd not bothering anyone w it!!! thats good #i mean it hurts nd makes me feel isolated buuut it's better than being a burden nd a bother nd making ppl roll their eyes nd sigh at me #but it's also so hard for me to seek medical attention for anything bc i feel like im just being dramatic nd annoying #idk... anyway so many things i wanna complain abt rn pain wise but im doing so good at shutting up abt them i need a gold star ⭐️ #hand in hand w this im getting better at just shutting up nd doing what ppl want me to do nd think im supposed to do even if im in pain

I'm saying this bc you are, according to yourself, very dramatic about little things but will downplay actual problems.

Made a horrible mistake. Switched to images when I was doing research on penile fracture for my internship. Please don't break your dicks, besties <3

#Creature rambles #i cannot express to you what an accident it was #DO NOT BEND YOUR ERECT PENIS BE CAREFUL AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IT SNAP CRACKLE POPS PLEASE #this has been unconventional sex ed w creature

[vivid-vices]

ok but how do you tell your friends you're very seriously sick without feeling like you're just saying it for attention? like i'm fr gonna be on my deathbed like "i can't tell anyone because they might think i'm annoying 😔" i feel like i never shut up about my stupid health and i'm just getting on everyone's nerves

#i vent about it here but that's about it #i don't think most people realize exactly how sick i am besides my partner and sister #but i want to tell my other friends ''hey i'm Not Doing Well'' and not feel like i'm being attention-seeking for it #it's so frustrating #i've been deliberately dancing around mentioning that i'm in the hospital and have most of my notifs turned off so i'm not tempted #to answer messages when the pain meds have me too talkative #ughhhh i hate this #medical // #ellie.txt
