I have been STALKING this group for months and today was my surgery day! I felt the need to pay forward all of the things I learned here along with things I do routinely that I think have helped and will help my recovery. I almost backed out when the nurse said I had to walk myself to the operating room - I told them I was really getting nervous. They gave me a medicine in the IV that was the equivalent to 1-3 glasses of wine and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. The pain is so manageable I can’t believe it and I haven’t even taken my meds yet. They also gave me a patch behind my ear for nausea - I ended up throwing up in recovery but I think it was a good thing because I felt s...

she (12, 13 in october, westie) has seen a vet and i know it’s due to her age — veterinarian said she’s not in any pain or anything like that. but seeing her makes me so sad because when she sits down, she looks so uncomfortable and her tail stays between her legs. i forget her exact weight but i think it’s under 15 lbs. my macbook is heavier than her i’ve tried giving her eggs because they’re protein filled but that just upsets her stomach. she gets a mix of hard and wet food. leftover steak that i cook as well (fat is cut off) i know it’s probably unlikely that she’s actually going to gain weight because of her age but i figured i might as well ask in case anyone has ex...

Im scheduled to see my Dr in 2 weeks and am building up the courage to ask her if we can test me for insulin resistance. I went to the ER about a month ago related to abdominal pain and dizziness, tachycardia and palpitations, nausea, and overall just feeling too terrible to even stand. At this point, this feeling had been going on unexplained for weeks, and coupled with my highly stressful finals week, poor nutrition habits and sleep deprivation, I was experiencing extremely frequent anxiety attacks that ultimately compounded into me checking myself in. With that being said, there *is* additional context necessary, which is the fact that I am diagnosed with both POTS and iron deficiency a...

for reference when I got my baby, he was very skinny and it was almost like a rescue situation. He had really bad Giardia, a URI and a heart murmur. The Giardia took forever to get rid of but he hasn’t had it for about six months now. The vet also said that he no longer has a heart murmur, and he outgrew it thankfully. He’s still quite skinny and I’m feeding him kitten food as the vet told me to. He just turned a year old in October and I know that it takes a while for Maine coons to fully mature, both physically and mentally, but something I’ve noticed is his tail fur has become so sparse. it’s still pretty fluffy, especially when he walks and he sticks it straight up. I call it ...

*In the taoist system, are there different forms of qi? You mentioned cosmic qi and post-heavenly qi. Can you explain the difference and go into other types if there are any?* *=======================* ✅ Yes — in Taoist internal alchemy and classical Chinese medicine, **qi (氣)** is not just one monolithic force. There are **multiple types of qi**, each with different **sources, functions, and spiritual implications**. You already caught two key distinctions: **post-heavenly qi** vs **cosmic qi** — and that’s a great entry point. # 🧾 PART 1: CORE DIVISION — PRE-HEAVENLY vs POST-HEAVENLY QI |**Type**|**Chinese Term**|**Description**| |:-|:-|:-| |**Pre-Heavenly Qi**|*Xiān t...

I honor vets, and wish I could be one myself if it weren’t for my crazy attachment to animals, my biggest attachment being my dog. I have a 2 year old Cane Corso, who I adopted from a shelter by me when he was about 3 months old, upon adopting him we were briefed on the possibility of hip dysplasia, and that because we knew nothing of his background besides him being found with parvo, we didn’t have much information. About 2 weeks ago I had noticed him having lameness in his back leg, and sleeping more throughout the day, I feel that I overreact a lot when it comes to him, I am constantly checking his gums, constantly touching and feeling for bumps, safe to say I have a LOT of anxiety w...

I’m sure this is asked frequently, but I’m jet lagged from a trip and exhausted, and we’re planning to grocery shop this weekend. I feel like we rotate through the same 5-10 recipes, and while they’re mostly good, I don’t think I’d consider them healthy. My husband and I both grew up eating… not the healthiest… so we want to try to break that cycle, since we are better off financially than either of our families were growing up. But also, I’ve gained a lot of weight in the past year, and eating healthier is a goal for us this year. We have two kids, a 4yo and almost 2yo. Aside from boredom of the same recipes and the healthy factor, our four year old is basically a vegetar...

Two weeks ago, I experienced major major symptoms, where I ate dinner and I couldn’t even move! On the 4th night, it got so bad I couldn’t move. My stomach was in immense unbearable pain. I was traveling on the 6th day with my husband to a cute 5 day holiday vacation and decided to go to the doctor. Turns out I have IBS and major gastreonological issues (possible GERD). I travelled next day with my husband, and lo and behold I kept throwing up in our hotel and ended up in the emergency at a hospital. Got onto a food iv drip😭 I was on it for 5 hours and it felt like I was quite literally dying. I struggled the next 4 days here and there but was super cautious of what I ate (which *****...

Hey guys, me again. I’m a big guy at around 230 pounds and over 6’. When I’m moving that distance, I just do simple calorie math and kind of assume that I’m going to burn 10,000 cal a day but there’s no way I can eat that much. So I try to keep my glycogen and blood sugar levels high throughout the day so I don’t crash or “bonk” out from the lack of sugar. Protein is necessary for building, repairing, and collagen synthesis, when we start burning fat for fuel, it’s called ketosis. I don’t want to be in ketosis. I want to keep burning sugar for fuel. I enjoy thruhiking so I can be a fat boy and eat fat boy food. The package of fudge brownie mix? 8,000 calor...

I don’t usually interact much on Reddit, but I urgently need help with ongoing pain. I’ll try to summarize my situation as clearly as possible. About a year ago, due to a jaw muscle contracture, my doctor prescribed **methocarbamol**. To my surprise, shortly after starting it I developed severe digestive issues, including **diarrhea, gas, and abdominal pain**. After several months of persistent diarrhea, I underwent both a **gastroscopy and a colonoscopy**. The only finding was **mild gastritis**, which was unexpected, as I’ve never had typical symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, or burning sensations. H. pylori was ruled out (negative).  I was then prescribed **esomeprazole and...

So last night there was a fire in a 6th floor apartment in my building (the managers unit, no less) and all the apartments underneath have water damage and are being sent to stay at a hotel. My apartment suffered damage only to the bathroom ceiling and walls (still usable but obviously needs repair). The damage assessment guy said that if my unit is fixed first it probably will take only two weeks tops. I'm disabled and I'm pretty sure the other two units on my floor are vacant. When I asked the manager she said they weren't. I have never seen or heard a soul come from those units but whatever. This is going to be a tough call because I have an oxygen concentrator, supplemen...

I have been hospitalized since December 27th due to severe abdominal pain that makes it impossible for me to eat or drink. I have been living with this pain for over three years, until I finally received a diagnosis in 2024: Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD) Type 1 and papillary fibrosis. Over the past months, I have found myself considering something I never imagined I would: tube feeding. Eating has become the worst form of torture. Any food — from the healthiest meals to something as simple as a potato — causes intense pain, heaviness, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, or at other times severe constipation lasting weeks, followed again by diarrhea. There is no balance and n...

tonight i wasn’t wanting dinner. instead i opted for making a high protein banana bread and had a a slice or two of that. later on around 7:40 i was beginning to want some food. i had cheese, crackers, salami, and humus. does eating this late really caused weight and fat gain? I typically never eat this late.

# Fatty Acids Important constituents of lipids, fatty acid molecules characteristically consist of an even number of carbon atoms linked in a chain bonded with hydrogen atoms that features a carboxyl group at one end. When all of the carbon-to-carbon bonds that hold the chain together are single, the fatty acid is said to be saturated. However, if one or more of the bonds is double, the molecule is unsaturated. As implied by their name, monounsaturated fatty acids only exhibit one double bond, while polyunsaturated acids possess two or more. A few fatty acids that contain triple bonds are also known to exist, although they are far less common than other fatty acids. Although lipids and fat...
