Sup /med/

I'm wondering about visual floaters. I've been seeing them even since my first DPH trip a few years ago, usually small and fast moving, impossible to focus on, etc. I also usually only see them right after I wake up or that's when I see the most of them. Ever since taking some psychedelics, I've had a few instances of 'flashbacks' for lack of a better term where I'll feel the walls breathe or see lights move and light trails while totally sober. I always space out trips between periods of 3 months or so, but I notices since taking acid in september I've been seeing way more floaters.

I have floaters and I've never had DPH or psychedelics. I do have HORRIBLE vision though, so if you are nearsighted they may be there for that reason. Also, if you rub your eyes hard or accidentally injure them, then they may also stem from that.

I have perfect vision. Everyone in my family wears glasses except myself. I have never had eye problems.

i have a fuck ton of floaters. Asked my family doc and optometrist about them. Both said it was normal.

This may sound pretty stupid, but I need to get fat.
I'm 5'11" and only 142 pounds.
My body fat is around 2.5% (tested with BIA and not those stupid math formulas), and shitty things happen to me like shivering and getting gooseflesh at room temperature, as well as a big bruise on my back from where my spine is rubbing uninhibited up against my skin.

I want to do this in the healthiest way possible, and I also don't want to get "fat".
Preferably, I want everything to be evenly distributed, and not gain some sort of beer belly, but I don't even know if that's something you can control.

increase your calorie intake

>> No.7541 Report Ban Global Ban

Yeah, I know, I'm not that stupid.
It's just that I'm not sure about how to do that. Yes, eat more, but I'm not sure what is healthiest, or what will cause the most desirable increase in body fat.

Going to McDonald's every day doesn't sound like the right way to go about things.

Oils from various vegetables are good if you want to increase the lipid intake, which is probably easiest as the high energy content means you don't need to eat that much of it.

Linseed oil have a good content of omega 3 while olive have omega 6. Optimally they should be present in equal amounts but generally everyone have a lot more omega 6.

Vegetable oils in general are high quality fats however. Carefull with high temperatures though as it degenerates them, especially with extra virgin olive oil.

I was diagnosed as a 7-year old by a real psychiatrist, none of that "lol a test on the interwebz told me I had ass-burgers" stuff.

It manifested through me being an annoying fucking kid.. I had no sense of situation whatsoever, wouldn't stay in my chair in school, always argued with the teachers etc.

I've pretty much grown out of it now, but I still "feel" that I have it in some situations. I'm not a socially inept or awkward person, but there are situations where something which is completely obvious to other people will go right past me. Small signs that people send each other; I have trouble picking up on those.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, diagnosed a year ago. It was by a neurologist, so it wasn't "internet symptoms." My sister has autism, full-blown to where she cannot speak much of the time. I was always considered eccentric to certain people, but due to my sister having autism, my social and personality quirks were not seen as bad.

I crave routine. If I plan to do something that day and I don't get it done, or if it's at an expected time, I'd break down. During intense conversation I cannot make eye contact. I feel awkward talking in crowds [not like making a speech, I'm fine with that, but social groups with friends and aquaintences.]. I can't seem to make a subject. I become obsessed with certain things, be it a band, tv show, book, but it only lasts for a few weeks until the next thing/subject takes its place. I was "identified gifted" in elementary school and I was offered to skip a grade, even though I was already one of the youngest people in my own grade. I wish I was as smart now as then...Now I'm a some A, lotsa Bs, some Cs sorta student in college.

I don't know what the fuck is chewing away at my insides or how it got there, and I'm usually pretty good about diagnosing myself. You guys have never steered me wrong before, so how about a little help?

Day 1: Sharp headaches, frontal, mostly concentrated towards temples. Started as fading in and out, took Aleve (24 Hour), 3 hours later headache was back to an almost crippling point. Passed out at work, etc etc. Got home after work, forgot to eat, passed out. Job, college, side job, so this happens often.

Day 2: Holy shit why does my lower back hurt this much? This isn't right, I'm nineteen and I'm walking like I just had my spine broken in three places. Meds don't work, stretching doesn't work, I use Icy Hot once and the pain subsides permanently (so far).

Oh, and almost any time I've gotten up to do something or smoked a cigarette in the past 2 days, I've had to run to the bathroom with the runs. No coughing symptoms throughout any of the days, shortness of breath but not much more than usual.

You could've had a gall bladder attack that caused excess bile to be excreted.
Or you might've gotten some sort of worm or bacterial infection.
The not eating and stomach pains sound very typical of tapeworms, I could be wrong. I'm going off my head here. Did you have a fever when your headache was around? You haven't smoked any moldy weed or what'not no?

I'd recommend seeing a doctor if it persists.
Drink lots and lots of water. Water is always good, for any condition.
If anything it'll help wipe away toxins from you body that could otherwise be assisting whatever's going on.

Sup /med/.
Fairly frequently (but not every time) for the past few weeks, there is blood in my shit. It isn't dark or tarry, but rather it's a bright red and i feel no noticeable pain. Generally i realize it's there when i wipe my ass, and the only reason i decided to post this was because after taking a shit today, i wiped my ass and there was enough blood on the toilet paper to stain most of it red. I'm fairly sure i've got hemmorhoids, considering i'm a basement dweller and sit on an uncomfortable hard chair 11-12 hours a day.
What's your advice, /med/?

Picture entirely unrelated and in fact, completely random.

>> No.7544 Report Ban Global Ban

If there is blood in your feces, there's a decent chance you have a hemorrhoid.
But at the same time, less severe cases like ones that cause little or no pain go away within a few days.
Getting blood on the toilet paper could possibly be from an anal fissure, and considering this has been going on for a few weeks, I'd say that's the culprit.

If you keep having this problem go see your doctor.

Hey /med/ I'm taking Effexor XR (75mg - taking with lamatrical cause I'm bipolar II) and I think a) its starting to not work b) its fucking killed my drive to write or do work and shit. If I miss a dose withdrawl kicks in and it fucking sucks. Also shrooms don't work apparently (not that I'd do them per se, but its the thought that counts).

So I'm looking into alternatives; Wellbritrin and Paxil have already been used in the past and well, they didn't agree (especially the wellbutrin). So does anyone have any ideas for things to throw past my doc?

Reboxetine sounds neato - and I gruess the tricyclics are interesting but I lack information about those.

So today I went to the doctors, and I was partially diagnosed with an enlarged heart muscle. I don't know which one, I go for an echo and run test on the 12th of dec. So my question is, I was told by someone that smoking marijuana and such can enlarge the heart tissue. Is this true? Will smoking give me a heart attack if I do have an enlarged heart?

>> No.7525 Report Ban Global Ban

Smoking marijuana can increase your heart rate and raise your blood pressure.
It won't enlarge your heart tissue, but if you've already got heart problems an increase in heart rate or blood pressure can possibly cause complications.

And just a side question, why didn't you ask your doctor when you were there?

I don't know, disclosing my use of cannabis for insomnia and personal recreation wasn't something I thought would be wise. I guess that might've helped with the diagnosis, I'll inform my cardiologist when I see him soon. But I should lay off it until they give me some anti-hypotension drugs. Now, a second question. Would my use of anti-hypotensive drugs in the future be affected by cannabis? I don't know if there would be a bad drug reaction or not.

>> No.7527 Report Ban Global Ban

>>7526
Doctors don't care about drug use.
Well, they do. But it's only because they need that information to answer questions like...

>Would my use of anti-hypotensive drugs in the future be affected by cannabis?

... and if interactions would occur, to prescribe different medications.

hey /med/, i had my wisdom teeth pulled and i want to know if smoking a bowl would be a bad decision? the doctor said no cigs, i can deal with that. but he didn't say anything about weed. what do you guys think?

PS im not currently on any medication that would fuck with the weed.

>> No.7519 Report Ban Global Ban

absolutely do not smoke, smoke in the wound will just absolutely fuck you, and make the situation so much worse. You're going to have to wait like a week or two to smoke, follow the guidelines for cigarettes. Its not whats in the smoke so much as it is the smoke itself.

>> No.7523 Report Ban Global Ban

>>7519
It's true that the smoke will stop it from healing up, but any suction, whether it's from hitting a bong or drinking through a straw, can potentially screw up your blood clotting and cause dry socket.
You don't have to wait two weeks, after 3 or 4 days it's essentially fine, unless of course it's not healing up too well.

plus dry socket is incredibly painful

A few days ago I was shooting up and I missed the vein. There's a really hard bump under my skin, it's not getting bigger or anything, but it's there. It doesn't hurt either. It's been like 3 days now. I was using a 29g insulin needle, btw.

4chan's /fit/ told me to stick a needle in the bump and suck up. I did, and it started bleeding a ton and the bump rose to the surface of my skin. Pic related.

>> No.7521 Report Ban Global Ban

You leave it alone, and it goes away in a week or so.
If not, it's infected and you need to go see your doctor.

Sadly, all your friends over at 4chan did was increase your chances of infection.

>> No.7524 Report Ban Global Ban

you injected into a space with no vascularization, meaning that whatever you injected had nowhere to go and formed a happy bump while waiting to sloooooowly diffuse trough the tissue.

then you stabbed it, sucked it out, ruined bloodvessels while at it which caused an inflammatory response with swelling of the surounding tissue as a result. or perhaps you're not following antiseptic protocol and skipped out on desinfecting or contaminated the needle and let in an infection.

Either way, wait, observe, and learn to do it properly.

So, I'm out of school with the flu (or maybe cold). And yesterday and today I feel good all day, no fever; but then night time comes around and my fever returns (almost eerily in correlation to when my girlfriend visits.) I take a hot shower when I feel it coming on because I know I'm going to start feeling cold, and I can't tell if the shower is actually causing the fever, or making it worse or something because I'm heating myself up.

help?
