For 30 years I was trying to remember why I was sent to stay with my Great Aunt for the Summer I was 7. I knew something drastic must have happened at home but I could not find out. Last year I was standing in my kitchen and it came to me all of a sudden. She lost her husband and they sent me there to keep her company. How precious and now all the memories make sense. Suppressed memories CAN come back .

My mum had a small patch of dry skin on her top lip that wouldn’t heal since 2018, so eventually spoke to the doctor. Turned out it was basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer). She was prescribed some chemotherapy cream and got the all clear last week, thank goodness! Always wear sunscreen!

Chemotherapy cream lol. Ok I shouldn't laugh but there's no such thing. They use extremely acidic/basic creams to essentially burn off anything it touches. My mum went through several iterations of it as well. Some types look gruesome while their face peels off but it looks great afterwards - lot less worrying, if you know what i mean.

Thank you for not quitting KZfaq. And a HUGE thank you for not being pushed into endorsing things that you can't fully stand behind as a medical professional. Your comment about extra vitamins and such not really shortening illness time really hit home with me. My family has chronic medical issues--everything from severe asthma and autoimmune hives to chronic sinusitis and a deviated septum. If I had a dollar for every time someone said, "Oh, you should take this vitamin," or "You need to be exposed to more germs," or "More time outdoors would help your asthma," I'd be a heck of a rich person. You'd think that they'd understand if there's a genetic predisposition to health issues and you've been dealing with it for almost FORTY years, something like a vitamin isn't going to magically fix it. Having regular checkups, eating healthy, and following treatment plans that my specialists give me, however, does help me live a better quality of life.

@maruskaehrensdorfer 4 ай бұрын

I agree! Although I have to mention that I have a chronic Vit D deficiency due to underlying chronic medical conditions and I'm permanently on prescribed Vit D tablets which really helps to keep my levels normal. Blood tests have shown how alarmingly low my Vit D levels become when I'm not on these prescription tablets. I also have to get monthly Vit B12 injections and iron (IV) infusions once or twice a year to keep my levels normal due to my nutrient absorption issues and other chronic medical conditions. So I would def advocate for supplements prescribed by specialists (not just a GP) if they make a huge difference and it shows up in your blood tests (or blood work as Americans call it).

I have to have multiple data points to remember so that I have multiple avenues to access that memory.

One of the reasons I selected Pediatrics as my specialty was how quickly kids recover. You get the problem solving aspect of Internal Medicine plus the immediate gratification of surgery. Plus preverbal children can’t tell what’s going on. I learned during residency that if I kept my mouth shut long enough, 95% of the time, the mom (regardless of the educational level) would point me to the correct diagnosis. I had a happy and successful 20 year career in private practice before starting my second career in new drug review at FDA.

The pelvic floor dysfunction is so real but I almost never hear it talked about so kudos for that! My pelvic PT got me to stop having urgency because I was doing that “force it just in case” thing all the time. The first doctor to speak to me about my pelvic floor was a pelvic pain specialist in another city, (who referred me to my PT) not my gp, not my OBGYN, like an endometriosis surgeon. After going to PT for my pelvic floor I’m a huge advocate for learning about it and talking about it, I think it would help a lot of folks :)

In regard to the shoe question, a good compromise is wearing minimalist shoes, also know as barefoot shoes or zero drop shoes. These are shoes that allow your feet to mimic being barefoot while also being protected. A couple of good brands are Vivobarefoot and Xero Shoes. Be careful about the ones from mainstream brands such as Nike. The criteria for determining true barefoot shoes are that they have very little material which allows them some to be super flexible, they have little-to-no hill-to-toe drop (shoes like boots and high heels have a huge heel-to-toe drop, while shoes like sandals have none), and have a wide toe box, meaning you can spread your toes out inside your shoes.

Forgotten memories don’t go anywhere in most cases not involving brain degeneration or injury, they get blocked from access by other processes. Interestingly, “forgetting” is an active process in the brain that is different from “not remembering”. It’s why you can have something “on the tip of your tongue” and remember it later.

I don't really understand how the brain remembers things, but I think I have permanently lost a few memories. I've had a few small, focal strokes that have diminished my memory as well as causing some mild aphasia, both expressive & receptive. Thank God it is not worse than it is! Sometimes memories come back, as Dr. Mike says , when I stop trying to remember! But sometimes they never come back.

Glad to find a good doctor here on KZfaq. About peeing in the shower: Many years ago, I overheard some guys at my gym joking about it. I actually do it a lot. But never in public, open, gym showers. Only at home, in private. Hearing running water or seeing streams of water never make me want to pee. When I pee in the shower, I stand directly over the drain. I never let it run on my feet or get on my body. Probably a lot harder for women, though.

My son broke his arm while carrying an empty horse feed bucket when he was 2½. It took hours for him to be seen in the ER, and that's one of the rare times I've almost lost my temper at a hospital. Once the triage doc saw it, he was a little pissed they didn't give him higher priority. They x-rayed it and was a clean break. They used pins and rods to hold it in place while it healed. When they took the last x-ray, there was zero evidence of a break. He's 5½ now and occasionally says his arm hurts. But it doesn't slow him down.

As someone with ASD and ADHD, yes, sitting alone with our thoughts CAN be very difficult, but it is absolutely worth it. Our brains need times of doing nothing- true nothing, not just being on our phones- to process information. That’s why stuff like showering and short walks are so good for your mental health- because you are giving your brain a break instead of continuing to force-feed it even more information. This year I have realized that a lot of my problems absolutely stem from or at least are worsened by my addiction to my phone and not letting my brain have times of rest while awake. I even think that neurodivergent people might be affected WORSE by this because we can more easily become overloaded or struggle to process information! If you get understimulated when you try to take these times of purposeful nothing, maybe try doing something mindless with your hands like using a fidget toy to keep your brain entertained without overloading it with information :)

These proteins can remain in the air for hours. Some people are allergic to a specific type of protein, such as the protein released by unneutered male dogs, so, you could have a female dog or a neutered male dog.

Regarding the splinter question: a good friend of mine has, like me, suffered for years with plantar fasciitis - or at least so she thought. She saw a doctor about it last year because it was really bothering her. Something in her symptoms or description got him wondering, so he did an X-ray. And, drum roll please, he found that there was a sewing needle embedded at an angle in her foot and completely surrounded by tissue. This embedded needle required surgical removal. (The x-ray is really something to behold.) The doc believes that this needle had probably been in her foot for many years, probably since before she was a teenager; she’s now retired from teaching. To make matters worse, her husband is a GP.
