They brain damage us at birth, deliberately. They clamp off the umbilical cord immediately. They induce with pitocin, using the child's head as a battering ram and net reducing transplacental and cerebral blood flow. They inject vitamin K. they lobotomize with the hep B vaccine at 12 hours old.

If there was ever a time to lose your faith in the system, this would be it. We're now seeing many of the same signs that preceded the 1933 Agricultural Adjustment Act, and the Holodomor in Ukraine. We're at a point where automation has rendered most people unnecessary, there is no use in a service economy, and only a fraction of the most servile and delusional millennials are desired as Fellow Citizens of the New World. We are the epsilons from Brave New World. We aren't real people. We are incomplete beings. They are clamping early literally as I write this. They need to be stopped. They need to admit. They need to be punished. All will have their eyes burned out by the light of truth, and they will share eternal darkness.

Just think. There is an entire industry and manufacturing base devoted to producing circumstraints and circumcision tools. We created new technology, we advanced, and now here we are in 2020 using radiofrequency scalpels and silver nitrate to circumcise. No longer must we wait until the 8th day, we can inject vitamin K. We have the plastibell and gomco clamp. Yes, through technology, we have become something new.

Also, words to remember. Law of the jungle. If you're a retarded urbanite who was raised in an artificial environment, I suggest you start thinking hard about the more natural laws.

See the skull, the part of bone removed, the "master-race" Frankenstein radio controls, the Brain-thoughts Broadcasting Radio, the Eyesight Television, the Frankenstein Earphone Radio, the Threshold Brainwash Radio, the latest new skull reforming to contain ALL Frankenstein Controls, even in THIN skulls of WHITE PEDIGREE MALES! Visible Frankenstein controls! The synthetic nerve-radio directional antennae loop! Make copies for yourself! There is NO ESCAPE from this worst gangster police state, using ALL of the deadly gangster Frankenstein controls!

In 1965, CIA gangster police BEAT ME BLOODY, dragged me IN CHAINS from Kennedy New York Airport! Since then I HIDE in forced jobless poverty, isolated alone in this low deadly niggertown old house. The brazen, deadly Gangster Police and niggerpuppet underlings spray me with POISON NERVE GAS from automobile exhausts and even lawnmowers! DEADLY ASSAULTS, even in my yard with knives, even bricks and stones, even DEADLY TOUCH TABIN or ELECTRIC SHOCK FLASHLIGHTS; even remote electronically controlled around-corners-projection of DEADLY TOUCH TARANTULA SPIDERS or even bloody-murder "accidents" to shut me up forever with a Sneak Undetectable Extermination!

How deadly is Basal cell carcinoma?
My 75 year old dad had it on his nose and tips of his ears.
It's because he is a literal redneck. His skin is burned red from working outside all his life. Never used protection.

The one of the nose got removed, but the ones on the ear have been there for like 1.5 years now, and have not been removed yet. Only recently identified as being BCC. He's now waiting to get it removed.

I wanted to know, what's the risk he might have complications from this?

>>11852517
VERY clamped pastebin. The clamp timing was negative it seems.

>>11852517
Should really put this in the OP again.

>>11852523

Absolutely based I'm not surprised more people don't see it yet. Slow and hearty clap. Or should I say... Clamp?

Are there any questionnaires for patients with hypothyroidism out there?

Not like a symptom checker questionnaire, more like a follow-up or monitoring questionnaire that should provide me with info about the patients habits and lifestyle with this diseases (Taking medicine regularly? Proper nutrition? and shit like this)

Pls help out a fellow student.

Hey /med/. So I got my grades for my first year of medical school. I'm studying in the best med school in my country and psych is my premed. I discovered I'm lower 1/3 of the class. I don't know what I should do this vacation. Should I enjoy my summer vacation and reserve all my energy for when the next semester starts? or should I catch up on my reading so I can get half-assedly good when 2nd year comes? If so, which subjects should I brush up on for patho? Should I Anking my way through it?

I want to change, /med/. I want to be better. This is the first time in my life that I've performed this academically bad. I've been driven to depression because of this but I don't care now. I want to get better fucking grades. What the fuck do I do?

You’re seeking instances when hypothyroidism is diagnosed and you want to gather data on compliance and lifestyle? VS prescreening asymptomatic patients before hypothyroidism manifests with symptoms?

If this is a school assignment, then I’m not familiar with any questionnaire that does the former. Any measurable data on adverse vs desired effect you’re seeking is generally reported or visualized.
If this is a curiosity endeavor, then it’s not useful clinically. You can gather that data in the first minutes when you talk with patient, they usually bring it up if they have chest pains or nervousness. Compliance can be questioned with your follow up blood work.

>>11852996
It's for my thesis. The subject will be "Hypothyroidism monitoring in a GP office" or something of the sort. I need a form/questionnare/something of the sort so I can evaluate the patient objectively, something with a score or risk factors, some targeted questions with a yes/no answer that would let me evaluate the patient when it comes to the GPs office.

I'll be using these at my mom's on her patients with hypothyroidism and she's got plenty of them. I know that for monitoring, the good old blood test is made up by TSH, FT3, FT4 and that's it.

I can't just make some statistics with only the bloodwork, some kind of questionnaire would be helpful.

>>11853014
To add a bit to the matter. I can split the group in pts with comorbidities and those without and compare the results between them, etc. Something simple, not really complicated and achievable in this summer so I can focus on the residency exam.

>>11853014
I see.
I think the only truly useful objective data is the blood work. The other data that is useful, but as we know doesn’t always change with treatment, would be Weight/Pressures and pulses/ temperature.

You could lickert scale questionnaire all the subjective reporting for lifestyle/diet/compliance.

Your exclusion criteria for monitoring would be the actively sick, patients on propranolol, amiodorone, lasix, metformin, steroids, and NSAIDs (regularly).

According to JAMA. 2004;292(21):2591, no correlations between thyroid function and cognitive issues/depression/ or ADLs are found- so can avoid those on your questionnaire.

Maybe use some of the attached and use a scale to get some data?

>>11853026
And you probably already have this memorized but since I’m not primary care I have to use these references.

>>11853065
God damn, that's a good reply. Thank you so much, anon!

>>11853072
This article is also interesting. Granted the sample size is very small, they took baseline measurements of healthy patients, clinically induced hypothyroidism, and measured mental functions afterwards. Decrease in paragraph recall and executive functioning showed high statistical correlation.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2007;92(7):2545. Epub 2007 May 1.

MEASUREMENTS Subjects underwent measurements of health status, mood, and cognition using validated instruments: Short Form 36, Profile of Mood States, and tests of declarative memory (paragraph recall, complex figure), working memory (N-back, subject ordered pointing, digit span backward), and motor learning (pursuit rotor). The same measures were repeated after 12 wk on each of the study arms.

CONCLUSIONS We found mild decrements in health status and mood in L-T4-treated hypothyroid subjects when subclinical hypothyroidism was induced in a blinded, randomized fashion. More importantly, there were independent decrements in working memory, which suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism specifically impacts brain areas responsible for working memory.

Could throw that in there to monitor improvement objectively.

>>11853100
This is what I was looking for. Thank you so much! The sample will be made of 30 to 40 patients so it's not that much.

>>11853104
No probs bro- good luck

Why does it feel like something is stuck in my left eye? Sometimes it gets teary or blurry, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with at a glance. Is it serious?

>>11853220
Are they really tears or is the secretion a bit thicker than usual?

>>11853220
probably just some pink eye, it usually feels like that before it starts getting visibly red
most of the time it's nothing serious and it'll go away on its own after a while

How important when choosing med schools is their ranking?
Does it really matter or is it largely irrelevant?

>>11853240
absolutely irrelevant.

>>11853230
Not really tears I guess, it just feels like that
>>11853232
Oh, I didn't know pink eye went away on its own. So I shouldn't use eye drops or anything?

>>11853251
Only if you wake up to crusty drainage should you consider eye drops. Clearish drainage and red eyes (viral) do not warrant anything

>>11853251
Wash your eyes with clean, cold water, regularly put eye drops (artificial tears, nothing fancy)

And rest, don’t strain your eyes. Wipe any secretions with a tissue and discard it properly. Try not to spread whatever you have

>>11853240
Ranking is a meme, it doesn’t affect your residency or training

You wouldn’t know shit when you are starting residency no matter where you went
Pick a university that has relatively small class sizes, where you can talk to the prof and which is relatively cheap to get education from.

Focus on gaining knowledge and passing step 1 with good scores and doing well on clinicals.. those things will decide your fate as a doctor, not which meme university put their stamp on your MD degree certificate

This is why they brominate the flour, chlorinate and fluoridate the water, put s|oy in everything, and expose everyone to wireless devices. What do these have in common? Suppression of, or exhaustionof, thyroid function. Blockade of iodine dependent processes and absorption. then, they simply average everyone for a few decades and gradually reduce the reference ranges accordingly.

Really the best time to egt em though remains the womb. Proper thyroid function and idodine is vital for fetal brain development. So you NEED to make sure the mother has a poor diet and LOTS of fluoride.

>>11853853

Lol no, he should work on his studying techniques though and have a schedule in mind of how he will juggle classes, reviews for the day and study for exams.

I’d suggest buying first aid and pathoma and reading it over, Just like a novel, don’t learn anything just try to understand

Also I’d recommend bookmarking different areas (path, physio, renal path etc)

Oh and solve any and all behavior or relationship problems you have.. have a long distance relationship that you don’t think will work out with a chick? Call her and break up, not worth the headache

Have a bad procrastination habit? Put an alarm for 6am everyday, exercise and avoid anything that wastes time.

Smoking and drinking problem? Talk to your doc and get help asap

Have mental issues/learning problems/depression? Try to get help for it within this month and solve those or atleast begin solving those

Ideally you need a stress free, healthy mind with no pending relationship drama or mental issues. You should focus on med school but don’t make it your life, have some interests out of med school.. or you’ll burn out and you don’t want that.

Ask professors and teachers for as much help as possible. Some will be really rice and help as much as possible, some will become your friends and mentors.. others will be arrogant cunts and just tell you to read the book but ask questions.. sometimes they can answer stuff that hours of google searches can’t

Don’t get distracted by multiple books.. pick 2 good books (first aid and pathoma are most relevant), go over sketchy pharm, microbio .. at least know what the fuck that is and look up anking if you are into rote memoriizng cards like a fucking parrot

Go right ahead and quote your pastebin, none of the posts show what you claim they do, and I'll just link to the last time I responded to it, like the last time. Then what?

It's a great irony that you've strung together all this stuff to see what you want to see, and yet I'm the "schizo". You can't take on the data so you attack the speaker.

anyone have a link to a torrent of sketchy pharm vids and subtitles? Don't want to spend money on it.

>>11854958
Jesus made men "whole again", He would not have supported clamping anything. I think also the idea of "immaculate conception" actually referring to conception after a period of fasting, makes far more sense. Many cultures (eg Scythians) practiced fasting, and the Goths et al even 1000 years later knew of and understood it as well. You can interpret the Bible literally, mathematically, symbolically, astrologically, etc. Nonetheless, fasting for 40 days and nights is actually possible.

And by the way, I'm not actually such a smug asshole, I wasn't born knowing this shit either, though I did always know that medicine wasn't all it was shined up to be (and still fell for it, because I "knew" but I hadn't truly "realized").

I understand people need to explore and expand at their own pace, and in the place and time where it is psychologically possible and favorable to do so. I suppose I'm just impatient and relatively intolerant, because I feel like had someone come to me many years ago and made their case in this sense, I would have ultimately been forced to listen. That's why I know what I know. When I came up against contrast I couldn't convince myself that I knew things I didn't actually know, and the seed was planted. And I got over the resistance and dependency. Connecting the dots is what is known as using your brain, it's not "schizophrenic". You don't need someone's permission regarding what you are, and are not, allowed to connect. The power structure and "culture" becomes like surrogate parents, supplanting the superego. Hence, the mask of sanity.

>>11856415
That’s super annoying when people speak out of their ass like that. I was consulting on a patient who was a chiropractor a few weeks back in the ED who wanted to see his scans so he could diagnose himself. He also wanted the ancillary and nursing staff to address him as “Dr. anon.”

>>11856415
trainee docs exist in India too brainlet

Help me out bros
Having episodes of headaches and blurry vision like2 times a week atleast, sometimes it skips a week and then happens again

I’m a guy, 5’11, 173 lbs (78 kg if that helps). I am not fat nor was I diagnosed with anything before this started happening. Haven’t been able to see a doc because of the coronavirus bullshit

Is this something serious? Should I take a risk and get checked at a hospital? Google searches are pretty vague

Pajeets are overrated. Yes, some of those pajeets that make youtube videos that are actually useful are fine, the rest of them, not so much.

>>11856473
Because there are "woke" people that think they know more than a proper physician. Never trust those diagnoses. I once googled intercostal neuralgia and the first things that came up were pregnancy and cancer.

>>11858437
not enough overloading of the muscles, does not promote the same increase in bone density, does not cause the test and hgh spiking. God hates the slothful and the cowardly, and so all calisthenics practitioners who spurn the iron will burn in hell for all eternity.

I hit my head maybe 7-8 years ago and had a bump on my head ever since. Recently I've noticed that the bump has been receding and is almost gone. Sometimes in the past when I would touch the bump it hurt but it doesn't hurt anymore. Is this normal? I thought it was going to last forever.

>>11858437

I just fell into a rabbithole of online sellers, mostly from rural parts of my shithole country, marketing dexamethasone as weight-gain vitamins. My people are so consistently disappointing that I'm losing hope in even finishing up medicine. I wanted to sign up to get assigned to a rural fucking village in the middle of nowhere after med but what's the fucking point when no one listens to you?

Sometimes I'll walked up in the morning and my hands itch like crazy, then it goes away after I've been up for a while, sometimes my fingers have little bumps on them as well right after I wake up, they gradually go away after a while. What's wrong with me?

Rural would be ideal if it weren't for the lack of basic amenities and having to trek through mountains and rivers to reach your sixth class village where you're the only doctor within reach for a few hundred people. Urban centers in the NCR get all sorts of rare and unusual cases but the volume of patients is pretty overwhelming.

>>11859631

>>11860260
Well, too much B12 can cause nose bleeds but I doubt you'd go over the normal level margin taking a multivitamin tablet.

I suggest you'd go to your family physician and do some basic bloodwork (hemogram) and see what's up from there.

Can't say for sure, go and visit your GP and get an ultrasound. Cheap, non-invasive and can easily see if something is not in order.

>>11860911
I'm sorry to hear that, anon-chan. There's alcohol, but don't drown in it. Get Xanax if you want to sleep or snort it if you want to trip.

I don't really drink so I'm not sure how that would go but I guess there's a first for everything.

I know my mother took it when she was depressed and she would just sleep all the time. Sometimes I wish there were actual happy pills that doctors could prescribe.

>>11860921
pretty constant lol
the pain came one night, I was at the doctors the next day for a different pain I had in my perniuem (that pain is gone now)
so I had bloods for that pain and everything was fine except my iron was low.
So I didn't mention the stomach thing becasue it was only a day after the pain came and it didn't feel too bad that morning at the docs

>>11860960
You should really go and check it out, then. Might be an appendicitis that's has a very slow onset and you don't want it to worsen or something is happening to your liver. Usually the liver doesn't hurt, but the capsule that's around it. Ultrasound needed to rule those out.

>>11860937
There are no happy pills, anon, I'm sorry. Also, don't rely 100% on pills, most of the patients with depression or anxiety need therapy too. I hope you'll get over your ex and I wish you the best.

Yep, sounds like me in the future.

The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the crimson king
The keeper of the city keys
Puts shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants the funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king
The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
The orchestra begin
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the crimson king
On soft grey mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson kin

I have heart palpitations, occasional chest pain (dull pain, not like "elephant on chest" pain), and random pain / numbness in my left arm when lying down for a while.

I vape nicotine all day, used to smoke (for a duration of less than a year, about 8 times daily) and father has history of high BP / cholesterol (but no major cardiac events).

Not him but he's completely correct. What toxins are we talking about? All I know about the sperm is the seminal liquid that helps the sperm cells to swim and the sperm cells. Everything is stored is in the testicles + seminal vesicles that also produce more seminal fluid.

>>11862733
I mean yeah makes sense but I am more likely to trust 4chan users than some Jew-P. Is there anything off the top of your head that you think it could be? If it were atherosclerosis I would have a much higher BP and lower SPO2 and if arrhythmia my heart rate would be abnormal? Seems like it could be pericarditis though.

>>11862746

Stopped reading there.

>>11862733
>>11862755
congrats two dubs in a row ! anyway please answer my post anon sorry for being antisemitic

>>11862757
>what could it be?

I can't really tell. Your symptoms are not specific to something, you need an EKG. You can rule out pericarditis tho, it usually comes with fever. The cause is most likely the nicotine so I'd stop that. (Easy to say, hard to do since the nicotine withdrawals are fucking nasty)

What's your age?

>>11862763
i'm 22, 21 bmi. should note also that it's worse if i lie on my left side. If it is indeed the nicotine, am I harming myself by persisting in taking it despite the symptoms?

>>11852327
Can you guys explain why vodka doesn't get me 'drunk' but just fucks me up? One or two units causes my arm to go numb and I have a really bad sensation in my gut that seems related to the numbness in my arm.

>>11862793
My right arm that is, actually more like the fingers in my right hand.

>>11862793
only vodka? could be a reaction to some additive in it. don't think it's neuropathy since it seems like it only happens when you drink

Do congenital neurological defects pass on to children?

>>11862773
With that BMI and age it can't be atherosclerosis. Probably the nicotine, and yes, palpitations are usually associated with nicotine if you consume it so you should stop for a few days and see if it persists.

>>11862824
Are palpitations intrinsically harmful?

>>11862827
In your case, right now, I don't think so.

When to see a GP
You do not usually need to see a GP if the palpitations pass quickly and only happen occasionally. They're unlikely to be caused by a serious problem and probably will not need treatment.

But it's a good idea to see a GP if:

the palpitations last a long time, do not improve or get worse
you have a history of heart problems
you're concerned about the palpitations
To help find the cause, a GP may:

ask about your symptoms and medical history
arrange a blood test
carry out an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check your heart rate (if the GP has the equipment available)

Taken from NHS.

>>11862831
no like, i understand that palpitations may or may not be indicative of a heart problem. i'm trying to ask if palpitations themselves, independent of an underlying cause, are harmful

>>11862819
It's been a day or two and my hand is still slightly numb. I have a history of gerd but that's never caused numbness. I guess I should stop drinking in any case.

>>11862834
If they're constant, then it must be some underlying condition. If you get them once and then never again or you get them 6 months forward, then it's completely fine and unharmful.

>>11862845
it happens in episodes, the last time was actually almost exactly 6 months ago

>>11862846
Then I wouldn't worry. But cut the vape. Better now than later, better safe than sorry.

>>11862850
I appreciate it but I probably won't since I'm addicted and it helps me avoid other more harmful habits (jacking off, being lazy and anxious)

>>11862855
Quit it and get some exercise. I smoked for 10 years and quit by waking up at 5-6am and go out for a run. Believe me, it's much better to breathe fresh air than that shit.

Every single pair of glasses I've got caused me headaches. For the longest time I got glasses for myopia, then I was told I had astigmatism and given a new prescription which still caused headaches. I figured that since I was stubborn and only my glasses when I had to (i.e 6-7 hours a day at school/uni), the headaches might have something to do with my eyes not adjusting properly, and I could be stuck in a vicious cycle whereby I don't wear glasses because they make my head ache and not wearing them as I should is the cause. Could that be a factor? Now I want to change my glasses to something I can wear constantly because my sight has noticeably deteriorated, but I want to figure things out before I visit another optometrist.

Unironically what specialty should I do if I want to research suspended animation for long haul space flights?

>>11862861
is nicotine really that much worse than caffeine (which I don't regularly consume, for the record)? why?

>>11862875
No idea, I don't drink coffee and I don't smoke.

>>11862870
Have you gone to an actual ophthalmologist before? Maybe consult with one.

>>11862901
Whoops, I meant to say ophtalmologist. I got my prescriptions from one at the local hospital and she did surgery and shit as well so I imagine she knew what she was doing.

>>11862904
Not a med student, but here's the in quotes blackpill regarding myopia.
http://www.preventmyopia.org/fdapetition.html
tl;dr Myopia glasses accelerate myopia in a vicious cycle that ultimately ends in retinal detachment.
Black rather than red because this guy isn't claiming it can be reversed with snake oil. Though he claims it can be prevented in children with reading glasses. The modern version of this is if you've got kids they're better off in a VR headset than in front of an ipad.

So uhhh, theoretically if someone was to have fallen off their bike and taken a pretty good hit to the side, how would one ascertain if the popping sensation that accompanies strong pain around the side/lower pectoral area means it's a broke rib and the person in question is fucked out of luck as far as working for the next few days/weeks?

what in the fuck is wrong with this guy's leg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkRrB8RcIDfrKYcCQvKhXg

>>11862930
Does it hurt when you breathe? Does it hurt when you touch that area? Is the pain continuous or intermittent?

>>11863009
>Does it hurt when you breathe?
Yes

Does it hurt when you touch that area?
Yes

Is the pain continuous or intermittent?
Continuous, but diminishes If I breathe shallowly and don't do anything that puts stress on the area

>>11863073
Yeah, that doesn't sound so good.

It can either be a fractured rib (complete or incomplete fracture) and when your lungs expand it pushes the rib and it will hurt OR it can be just an intercostal neuralgia, but considering that the pain is continuous, I'm not sure what to say.

Your best bet is to get a simple chest X-ray to rule out or to confirm the rib damage.

>>11863114
Well, that's unfortunate.
Thanks for throwing some neurons my way, I appreciate it.

>>11863073
>could it be a rib fracture

Nope. When you chew, your whole digestive tract goes into motion, chewing is the signal for the rest of the tract to start working so it produces enzymes and other goodies for your body. Pills won't do that for you.

I'm balding too and I'm only 24 so I know the feel.

>>11863673
what if i chew something small before? or even chew the pills?

>>11863673
>When you chew your whole digestive tract goes into motion.

first year here. This sounds like bs.

>>11863683
I don't think that will work.

>>11863685
It's not too late to drop out then, faggot.

>>11863685
>Chewing triggers the rest of the digestive process
>Yet, the contribution of chewing to good digestion does not even stop there. The process of chewing also activates signaling messages to the rest of the gastrointestinal system that trigger it to begin the entire digestive process. This is because when chewing is a well-paced, thorough process, it can actually be said to belong to the "cephalic stage of digestion," the phase in which you first see, smell, and taste your food. The length of time spent chewing the food is related to the length of the cephalic stage of digestion since with more extensive chewing, the longer the food gets to be seen, tasted, and smelled. Cephalic phase responses have been extensively analyzed in the research literature. The release of small messaging molecules that are critical for digestion—such as cholecystokinin, somatostatin, and neurotensin—have been found to increase by over 50% just by the mere sight and smell of food. Additionally, research has shown how chewing, as well as the activation of taste receptors in the mouth, can prompt the nervous system to relay information to the gastrointestinal system to optimize the process of digestion. For example, stimulation of the taste receptors can signal the stomach lining to produce hydrochloric acid that helps in the breakdown of protein. Additionally, chewing signals the pancreas to prepare to secrete enzymes and bicarbonate into the lumen of the small intestines.

Lmao, first years are cringe

>>11863697
wow, is that why im so unhealthy? could it be my body isn't recieving the signals to absorb the nutrients because im doing it too fast? i kinda just gulp the food down quickly because i want to get it over with

>>11863701
Not sure, anon. I don't know all of your habits and haven't done a proper consult on you.

Go to your GP, get some bloodwork and an ultrasound, mention everything that you think is important to him/her and please eat, anon. As unpleasant as it is (I know that not everyone enjoys eating), try to chew your food properly.

Definitely not ideal, anon.

>>11863789
I'm just like in the first pic and I have some patches of hair missing. My dad, my grandad and my great grandad were all bald. My dad started balding at 27 and I just started at 24. It's a merciless world we live in, anon.

But I don't mind. I'll probably go for a really really short cut or just shave it and go for the "Virgin Cope" look but without the beard. Partly because I shave every other day and partly because my beard looks like pubic hair if I let it grow.

>>11863701
You should chew your food properly and drink some water after dinner so the food can be digested easily

>>11863432

Tell me about it, my father is in his 50s and hasn't lost his hair and I am somehow balding at 18. I probably won't shave until it starts looking like absolute shit because I want to hold onto whatever hair is left. I have shit beard genetics and a gay alien skull to top things off and the hair is my saving grace.

Not him, but when someone mentions something about flights, I'm always thinking about aero-space medicine or hyperbaric medicine.

>>11864101
Once the problem is solved, you might learn about it in courses in those subjects. But I doubt they would include or lead to suspended animation *research*.

>>11864115
Yeah, I kind of missed the point with those specs. They're just about the physiological changes when you fly and/or you're under a lot of pressure (literally), nothing like suspended animation which I don't think it's even that popular, let alone research on it.

How do I tell if a mole is cancerous? I have this weird one that sprouted in the center of my back recently. It's not smooth like a normal mole, but flat and projects outward, can even flap back and forth. It's growing two long dark hairs as well, I have hair nowhere else on my back. It's too dark to be a skin tag as well

>>11865175
take a bit in a syringe and inject it into your bloodstream and see if you get sick

>>11865477
are swollen lymph nodes serious enough? i don't want to sit for hours in a waiting room just to get an appointment a month later

>>11865484
Yes.

>>11865492
just tell me what a single swollen lymph node in the back of the head on the left side could imply and i will evaluate myself if it's serious or not

>>11865505
>I will evaluate myself

Then you can search it for yourself lmao.

I figured the feeling of something in my throat might be due to some pill I didn't swallow right (I take lots of pills), but now my throat is also sore. I don't think it's tonsilitis. I read something about lymph nodes enlarging to fight off infections and with my limited anatomy knowledge that sounds plausible. It could also be cancer. Which one is it?

>>11865515
You take a lot of pills for a certain conditions or just multivitamins?

>>11865517
I take muscle relaxants, B12 pills for neuropathy, and supplements to treat my vitamin D deficiency. I also used to take fuckhuge sleeping pills because I felt agitated and couldn't sleep so when the weird lumpy feeling first occurred I thought maybe I hadn't swallowed one right, but it's been a while since and it hasn't gone away. Don't think it has anything to do with the pills desu.

>>11865535
From your limited info, all I can say is that's a globus sensation you have. You can search online to see the possible causes because I'm too lazy to do it now. I doubt it's anything malignant tho. You should check with a GP first and see where you'd get referred to, ENT or GI.

>have hyperhidrosis
>sporadic semi-painful nerve tingling in palms of hands and soles of feet immediately before most sweating outbreaks, as well as randomly and unaccompanied by sweating
Is this anything to worry about? I've been like this for as long as I can remember, and it can come on at any time (like right now, when I'm just lying on my bed)

>>11865545
Honestly, I've never heard anything like this. Hyperhidrosis + Nerve pain/tingling from the site of sweating, so I can't really help you but maybe some other anon knows.

>>11865508
i know what lymph node swelling is, i just thought that the pain near my wisdom tooth might have something to do with it.
on second note i think it's my tonsils which means that i will either get a very bad cold or it will just go on its own.

What’s wrong with the skin on my finger? Fungal? White bumps with fluid appear when it’s agitated and itches (I climb a lot), they go brownish after a while and disappear. Come and go occasionally on the one finger. What do?

>>11865557
Another view

>>11865550
Thanks
And yeah, it's only palmar+plantar hyperhidrosis in my case, the rest of my body is pretty much unaffected. While there are times when I don't have excessive sweating in either of those surfaces, it's still very common and is basically nonstop whenever I'm walking around (plantar sweating) or doing things with my hands like typing or anything with paper (plantar)
The nerve paresthesia doesn't seem to be directly connected to either of those, I have no idea why it comes on

>>11865540
>globus sensation
I've read up on that but I'm not sure what to say. I mean my throat used to be sore all the time and it would just go away on its own or with cough drops so I guess it's an exacerbation of that. I briefly took antibiotics at one point as well. Right now my GP is on leave so it'll have to wait. I'll be taking Strepsils in the meantime.

>>11865557
>white bumps with fluid

You should really join forces with this guy >>11865545 , lol. I assume you use gloves while hiking so the sweat has nowhere to go and eventually will build up fluid, or if you climb without gloves, the constant exposure to sweat might give you some reaction, I'm not sure.


Btw, am I the only student online? Since I woke up I only responded to complaints lmao, where the fuck are the shitposters?

>>11865575
Oh shit, I missed your reply.

I think your best bet is to go softer on the pills and drink some warm beverages instead. Strepsils is fine if you don't abuse it and eat them like candy (they're delicious btw).

>>11865615
I'm freaking out and cramming for my exams.

>>11865615
No gloves and not a lot of sweat, it seems to get agitated from pressure from climbing and it builds up, sometimes they burst and clear fluid comes out, that’s when they go brown and subside

>>11865662
Good luck, dude. How many left?

>>11865668
Do you climb proper, real rock mountains or such or those artificial wall thingies?

>>11865673
They start in two weeks but fuck I didn't learn anything from online classes vro

>>11865688
>they start in two weeks

Holy shit, that sounds so shitty. What country? I've got one more and I'm done, but the summer vacation is fucked because I'll start normally in september.

>>11865694
Philippines. Still the final exams from the second semester of 19-20. It's whack.

Can you guys help me out. I'm a first year and I literally can't learn any new material I haven't already had a background in in highschool. It's just like ny brain has stopped working and I can't fathom new concepts anymore. I manage to pass but I can only imagine how fucked I will be in the future if I don't fix this problem. What can I do?

>>11865707
Sounds pretty shitty not gonna lie. Ganbatte!

Don't rush to make new threads, let this die and let's do another one then.

Hey guys. I just wanted to ask about hair loss if any of you would be so kind. I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata a month ago and was given Biotin supplements, Minoxidil and Clobetasol. Clobetasol was to be applied on the bald area for the first 15 days, then Minoxidil for the next 15 and I was supposed to do this for 3 months.

However, a month in and my bald spot just kept getting bigger without any noticeable hair growth occuring. Is this normal or should I go back to my dermatologist this monday?

Pic related was my bald spot a month ago. Now it's around twice the size of that.

>>11865879
Call your dermatologist and tell him/her about the issue you have, I don't think you really need to see him/her unless told so. Tell the doctor you think that the treatment is not working as intended and...that's it.

>>11865886
Thanks. Just booked an online appointment with her.

>>11865673
Both, only outdoors at the moment though
