It's not possible to get an appointment at another clinic?
I hope you get well soon Adalira!
Sounds like you must feel afwul and crappy for a long time now.
While on the subject of health,
I have a slight pain in my chest since november last year, with sometimes a months not feeling the pain.
When I feel it, sometimes it not very noticalbe, but sometimes it feel like my heart can stop beating anytime.
I hasn't, but the fear is still there, even after the doctor told me everything was fine.
It at the point now where I'd rather not sleep alone at night for fear something might go wrong and I might not be here tomorrow.
And i'm only 18....
First I thought it was the Pill, so stoppen taking it, but the pain did not went away.
I tried getting more sleep at night, but it still didn't help with the pain.
We even thought of breast cancer but couldn't find anything after feeling.
My parents think I'm being overreacting over it, but my boyfriend it really supportive when a strike of pain hits me.
I'm afraid to go to the doctor again, but I'm considering to get a full bodyscan at the hospital to see if they can find anything.
Now even in times when the pain is gone, I'm afraid to be happy, for fear it'll come back, and so far it has returned every time it was gone.
Has any of you ever had this and know what it is?
I'm really scared and want the pain and fear to be gone.
Thank you for all the information Echidna!
Unfortunatly i am the only one who can clean everything. My husband has a fear of any type of dirt and freaks out over having to touch anything that could possibly be dirty/harmful.
Hiring a professional is something we can not afford, else i would definitly go for that option.
I cleaned with a respirator the other days but forgot to put one on today since i was in a hurry to clean.....that was a huge misstake i know :-(
We did pick up the steam cleaner from my brothers house tonight so i will use that tomorrow as well when i clean.
I bought 2 nasal sprays i Germany, 1 with all natural ingredients which did not help at all and one with also salt water in it which also did not help at all.
The one i have now works but i will stop using it asap because i do not like nasal sprays one bit.
I really like the neti pot you are talking about (looked it up immediatly) and i may purchase one since i always have problems with my nose with allergies and such.
It just has never been as bad as this year and today is just unreal.
No other clinic is going to help me in a different way.
The Dutch health care system really sucks and more often than not will you not be taken seriously.
So tomorrow i am back to cleaning WITH a respirator, i promise PearlieMae <3
If you are this worried about it to the point where you are afraid to sleep alone at night and it is unnfluencing your life this much i would suggest going back to the doctor and asking for a check up in the hospital.Quote:

Good luck!
Thank you.
I will talk to my boyfriend and decide if and when I'll go for a bodycheck.
The weird thing is, now that I'm living with my boyfriend, I sleep really good at night.
But I think I've had the worst part months ago already.
In that time I was walking outside, and and a old man was walking on the other side of the road, and I thought "I'm probably more afraid of dying than that man is"
I can sleep alone, I just don't feel really safe and comfortable,
and when I go out of the house alone I always make sure I have my phone with me, which it not a bad thing, but the reason behind is scary.
One reason to have chest pain is underlying anxiety and stress. It's not dangerous, but since you've had problems for so long, it's probably best to get a check up.
E.r. on my birthday. Laaaame! Lol
Cowgirl sounds like thanathophobia which I have. Fear of death. Worse at bed time. Worse when alone. Feel free to pm me and we can chat about it. Often causes heart palpitations
Thanks ♥ that's really sweet ^^ I so will ^--^Quote:

It's only when I feel the pain, that I'm scard of what can/might happen.
This. Seems like she's resented you for a while now and was looking for something - anything - as a reason to cut ties with you.Quote:

The brain is a bastard at bedtime though. Personally, I'm not afraid of death, but perhaps a little concerned over how it will be.
Yeah you can't erase it that way. It is spurned on by trauma, hereditary, new health issues or chronic ones. I have been battling it for years as I have PTSD. Though I have overcome every symptom of PTSD except this. I also had serious childhood illness and chronic illness as an adult. And I've had more than one near death experience. Plus I sincerely believe on both sides of my family diff people suffer from it. Everyone is a little afraid of death it is natural. But it becomes a phobia when it prevents you from living a normal life. Ever wonder what my motivation is to do so much? Obsession with my own mortality.
I actually manage it really well though. I went to therapy and support groups. But it never really goes away. Its always sort of there and I know from being educated on it that many people can develope it after a health scare and if they ignore it, it doesn't go away even after the danger has passed.
Its also a cycle. Eg cowgirl Has chest pain. It scares her. Then she has more chest pain because she's scared.
Docs don't usually do a body scan. They hook you up for a day and a night to a portable heart monitor ECG. Then they look at the data
9 times out of 10 they determine it is a common irythmia (sp) that 50% of the population has. It can be painful occasionally and because the pain scares people the become anxious about it which causes it more.
I was going to explain It all in pm but I've been down that rabbit hole and during highschool and university known at least 4 friends as well. It is more common than people think.
Good to address it asap as lingering death fears spurned on by it can create a trauma memory in the brain and persist if left alone.
I had to go to leave work early about a month ago to go to the ER due to chest pain and loss of feeling in my extremities. After hours in the room, came back with possibly Diabetes and heart palpitations. I may not be the smallest mer, but I didn't think I was at risk for diabetes, seeing as I don't have a family history of it. Granted, I was on medication that increases blood sugar levels for an illness that Urgent Care decided to label bronchitis. I had tried explaining that I was showing the symptoms on my discharge sheet that said I needed to come back if.. but to no avail. I have no health insurance and work part time and now have a thousand-something dollar medical bill looming over my head, and still haven't seen a cardiologist or had an A1C. The palpitations are very painful and almost feel as if it's a full-blown heart attack at times. That's originally what they assumed when I arrived at the ER. I don't really know what to do at the time, because it doesn't necessarily seem to correlate to my anxiety. *heavy sigh*
You don't have to be overweight to get diabetes.Quote:

There are several types of Diabetes, and all points to one of those types being caused by a prior bacterial infection which damages the gall bladder I think it was, and with the tissue damaged the diabetes develops.
Just as certain cancer types are caused by viruses and not by genetics.
Medications you get for all sorts of illnesses are usually more useful for filling the pharmacy's pockets than curing you.
Go figure.

Right now everything is going good, most of the time no pain, though I'm scared a little bit when I do feel it. But then after 2 or 3 hours it's gone again. And I'm still alive. and the weekly/monthly breaks when I have no pain are getting longer so I think going quite well now.
doctor offices suck. one time we went to a new clinic and a new doctor. ok im a teenager and a teenager's diet is mostly made up of fatty unhelthy food (unless you are in sports) right so my mom was trying to explain it to this really tall doctor. he asked if she would describe it as a eating disorder and she said yes. thing is after that the doctor jumped to conclusions asking my mom if i suffer massive weight loss and if i had anorexia. no matter how much my mom tried to explain he wouldnt listen. sitting on the bed thing i called out that i do not have anorexia thats when the doctor turned to me and said "all people who say they dont have anorexia , has anorexia" and turned back to my mom to ask more questions about if i had an eating disorder. witch in my eyes pretty much said this is about you so stay out of it. we left making no progress.
Having to work through pain sucks. Last 2 days I have been in so much pain I haven't stopped crying. Just ate for the first time today. Most people have 1 set (4 teeth) wisdom teeth, I've got 2 (8 teeth) with another set coming in (and entirely in the wrong place/angle). Calling the dentist on Tuesday, when they open, to set an appointment to get a referral for the surgery to have them all removed. So I'll be in this pain for about 2 weeks minimum. If I try to go straight to the surgery without the referral, I'm looking at a minimum of a month of pain for all the paperwork to go through :( This seriously sucks.
You're the only person outside my ex-bro-in-law's family who I've heard of with that. My sister's kids by him all get three sets of teeth and so two sets of wisdom, if I recall correctly. Very sharky of you all. But I'm sorry you're in pain and I hope it's gone fast.Quote:

Have you tried orajel? Might take the edge off :(
Yeah. Only lasts about 20 min before it wears off. Going to try to get into a dentist tomorrow as an emergency. Can't sleep tonight because it hurts so much. Crying because it hurts so much with makes it hurt worse :( Hardly ate today because I can barely open my mouth without it hurting, hurts to even go through drinking motions
So... Erm.. What happened to the forum? 0-0
What do you mean?Quote:

I would definitly try to get in somewhere as an emergency. When you are in this much pain and can barely eat it is time to take action for sure.Quote:

Last night i finally got all the cleaning done, or at least most of it. I have the purifier on full blast in the living room now and i feel a lot better.
Yesterday slept til 1.30 pm! And today 12.30 pm so that shows how much sleep i have been missing lately.
My energy levels are slowly going up again to. Can't wait to feel like myself again!
Thank god i am feeling better cause that means i don't have to kill anyone :dance:
Spent since I woke up trying to find a dentist that would take my insurance, state assisted insurance, AND that is also taking new patients. Called insurance company, they gave me a number for a place in town to call, called them and the lady was rude and said that they couldn't see me until next month! Called insurance back, they said they had just called them and told them to expect our call, and that it was an emergency :/ So called them back and the lady was much nicer after insurance called them again. Finally have an appointment on Thursday, was the earliest they could get me in :( Good news though, they phoned in a Rx for antibiotics as they think from talking over the phone that I have at least one tooth that's abscessed :headwall: Can pick it up later this afternoon.
Why is it, regarding health in the US, its just a giant run around? But yeah, probably going to call work this afternoon and ask if my roommate can cover my shift (we work together) tomorrow. Other roommate did all the talking for me on the phone because talking hurt so much. One call I had to give verbal permission for them to talk to her, only said 2 or 3 words then spent the next 2 1/2 hours bawling because of how bad it hurt. I've got a high pain tolerance, and it takes a lot for me to cry. So, for this to have me bawling means I am in a LOT of pain :(
Trust me it is no better in the Netherlands over here.
I am glad you are getting anti biotics...it sucks though that you have to wait until thursday. I hope the antibiotics will help you with the pain a bit!
oh sweety we have health care and it's a giant f*cking run around here too. LOL it sucks. Im glad you getting some meds
Well, this is going to make things even harder on artists, performers, and small businesses...

screw facebook seriously.

Since it wasn't designed for business, I guess one cannot complain. :P
Now I'm tempted to make a Facebook group called "Raina's Turkish Fan Club". :P
About Morticia's headdress problem... I saw that particular headdress in person before it was shipped out. I also recognize quite a few of Morticia's trademarks and specific supplies in the video posted by the person claiming they made it themself - Morticia's work is awesome and she does a lot of little things to make her work have unique qualities, and I (thankfully) get to see enough of her awesome work to be able to identify it, even in a blurry video. I even have a headdress Morti gave me that has a lot of the same details, I can point out the exact same things on mine (I did stick my headdress onto a headband - because I got rid of all my hair - but I ALWAYS credit Morticia's work).
Adalira: Mold is seriously no laughing matter - thankfully my mertender is compassionate towards my many allergies and sensitivities, and he ALWAYS makes sure I stay away from anything that smells/looks like it has mold or mildew. Those spores can get in your brain, and that's pretty scary! Is is possible for you to get an inexpensive de-humidifier to keep around you, particularly while you sleep?
Another thing that can help the atmosphere around you is burning PURE beeswax candles (must be actual, pure beeswax, with a pure cotton wick). Beeswax candles help purify the air around you, and the cotton wicks don't have lead in them like regular candles do. I'm not sure what your local availability would be, but I know you can order them online from reputable herb stores (drop me a PM if you need some suppliers). I have a single beeswax candle (almost gone), and it's been a lifesaver for me - I live in a rainforest, and it's always wet, and my room is just an enclosed porch with some carpeting in it... so our windows are always damp, and a big section of the wall had to be replaced because of mold before I even moved in (which means there's a strong possibility there's still mold in the walls). Burning the beeswax candle always eases my breathing :) I also use things like tea tree oil (I use it in a lot of things, daily, it helps a lot) and make sure to eat kelp regularly so I can get rid of toxins better.
I use a ton of homemade remedies, because of my multiple sensitivities and conditions, so I have a lot of info if you're interested, just drop me a line, I could go on for days :p
So I guess I'm sick now, my eyes hurt and whenever I get sick, I get a cold sore in my nose... Gross, I know, but at least it's not on my lip anymore - my grandma gave it to me when I was little and now my immune system decided that I get it EVERY time I'm sick (not just once a year any more). Thankfully I managed to attack it with a SUPER-EFFECTIVE remedy as soon as I felt it come on (it's a mixture of pure, real vanilla extract; witch hazel; and tea tree oil), but now I need to wait at least another day or two before I can attempt to go take these photos that I desperately need to take for business/mermaid stuff...
Yep. I've quit Facebook twice now. Too many passive aggressive people that I don't care to be "friends" with, too many "friends" that would never in a million years pick up a phone to actually talk to me, and I didn't find it useful for marketing. I know its great marketing for lots of people, but I didn't think it was at all worth the trouble for what I got out of it.Quote:

True- I have a great time with it keeping connected with friends, there are people I'd otherwise never keep up on. They're all over the world, and yet I can connect with them all in one place. But- and that's a BIG but, when anyone talks about having a FB Page for a business, I direct them to the many resources explaining how FB works so they aren't going in thinking they will have reach. FB is a typical huge business, gives not a single damn about almost anything but the money. People forget that, because they're used to the interpersonal connections.Quote:
