The mental thing was a huge one for me. I ended up in the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Turns out it was "only" a panic attack. I felt so silly and stupid for wasting everyone's time for something that "wasn't a big deal." The doctor and the nurses quickly shut that down. They were so kind, and asked if I was super stressed. I was in the process of quitting a much loved job at the time, and I was. In addition to telling me to make an appointment with my GP, they recommend seeing a councilor if I felt it appropriate, told me to take a few days off and to do some things that relax me. I felt so validated that it was serious and I was right to come in.

[@NeuroPunkNonsense]

There's no "only" about a panic attack. People with them are regularly convinced they're dying. That's huge and should 100% be taken seriously. I am so glad that the medical professionals you saw treated this experience, and you, with the level of respect and seriousness warranted.

8:42 I remember that very year (2019) I realized I had a really bad physical state; I ate so much pasta in a week (no fruits, vegetables, meat or other stuff), I was sleepy all day, constant headaches, and when I started struggling with insomnia I went to see a doctor. My triglycerides were at + 300; and instead of giving me a diet or medication, my doctor told me to check my mental health first because she wanted to find the root of the problem. Turns out I had depression, and because of that I got inside a cycle of no energy to cook -> eat poorly and get no energy. I bought veggies that rot after a while because I didn't felt like making a salad. I bought meat but I always forgot to defrost it. I couldn't exercise because I felt really tired all the time. Once I started therapy, I was able to get out of that cycle and lower my levels; though I still struggle sometimes nowadays.

@doctormike: I sit/lay 23h / day and feel terrible. Can confirm. But one thing to note regarding doctor-patient confidentiality - there's usually exceptions to the rule (besides GSWs): if you express intent to harm yourself or others. The problem is that this exception gets bent - like with drug use. Not only have docs broken the rule, some go so far to call cops or child-social services if they suspect the patient will go on using drugs after the appointment, usually making the situation for the patient and his family far worse. I'd love to hear you address that and report on your experiences and what you've heard from other docs. Love your videos, thanks a lot :)

I also do Pilates and go out hiking in the countryside every chance I get (3-4 times a week) and just walking whenever I can. Keeping strong a flexible is just as important as my immunosuppressants and anti-inflammatory meds, and I don't need the anti-inflammatories as much now I'm exercising much better.

The “tell us what you’re on” thing reminds me of when I was in the ER holding for an extended period of time (3 days before they were able to get me a room, and I was a priority patient) and this guy came in just SCREAMING expletives and swearing up and down that he wasn’t on drugs. I was in a lot of pain, I was on a LOT of painkillers, and I just wanted to sleep, but this guy was SO LOUD I couldn’t do that, so I just eavesdropped and watched South Park on the tiny ER bay television screen. A couple hours later - presumably after blood work had been run - a nurse came back and told him they’d found cocaine in his system, and he replies, “Well, some of my buddies were smoking it and I inhaled a little bit.” I-

I have done my own surgery. Complications from Crohn's disease. My intestine was developing fistula. About 1 year after a resection of the small and large intestine. The pain behind the Glutes was unbearable. I sitting on a seat or wiping was eye watering. I went to our hospitals a few times. All refused to drain the pressure. Only give me pills that were not effective. I asked a 3rd yr medical student if there was anything vital I had to watch out for. I stopped by the local medical store. Purchased a 14 gauge 3-1/2". I work it to the pressure. And wow. So much better. Over time the pressure came to the bottom layers of skin. Where I would lance the skin to drain it. I've since cauterized them open with a hot scalpel.

[@alesemarie2740]

Ah yes of course, every single teacher has complete control over how much time they teach. This is a joke, administration could fire you if you take class time to stand up. You’re missing learning time. Just try to exercise when you get home

[@Saikoes]

My chem teacher literally wouldn't let us stand for more than like 30 seconds at a time

[@Wolf_Night]

Over all school makes it difficult for kids. It's played a good part in why stress, depression and anxiety levels are so high in pre-teens and teens. Not moving around much in middle and high school when you are already going through hormonal changes is not healthy. It's even worse for students... who let's say got surgery on their entire spine when they were a going to be a freshman. An entire fusing of the spine forced to sit for hours and then make it to the next class, wherever it was in the school within five minutes. That's just one circumstance where there is a situational obstruction to the already haphazard set up of being a student. My mental health actually became worse after school though because I had friends to distract me and then a long term relationship which was all new to me in high school. Now, after another surgery on my back which caused me to stop going to university, which was the only thing that helped with depression after spending years at the end of high school submerged in it because I wasn't going anywhere with myself.. I've fallen into a situation of no distractions like friends or relationships to keep my mind from depression. I mean who really needs to have a healthy mind anyways, right?.. .. well, this just turned into a me comment **clears throat ** yes, I concur with this reply.

Yeah, that last one for sure. I've been dealing with on and off knee pain for years now. My PCP couldn't figure out what could be causing it, so he referred me to an orthopedic doctor. He diagnosed me with patellofemoral pain syndrome. He said that we'd start with physical therapy and if that there was no improvement then we'd move onto the mri. My PT, on top of that suspects that I might have a small meniscul tear as well, secondary to the patellofemoral pain syndrome and gave me exercises to help with that as well. I've only been doing it for about a week now, but it's already helped since I feel like I can put some weight on it again without the feeling of weakness or pain in it, at least for a short time, which is more than previously. I think a conservative approach is better because it can help save money by avoiding unnecessary expensive procedures such as an mri or surgery. You want to rule out the more conservative and less invasive options first since it's easier for the body to recover from exercise for example than a wound from surgery.

The 7-9 hours of sleep is so true. I’ve always been able to get a lot of sleep and I’ve always needed a lot of sleep (ideally, I function best at around 9-10hrs). For some reason, over the past few months, my sleep quality has dropped significantly. I have an Apple Watch and started noticing that, despite allowing myself 8-9hrs, staying away from my phone/screens for 1-2 hours, avoiding caffeine, doing all the right things, I have only been getting around 3-4hrs of sleep a night 😩. It’s caused me to develop almost daily migraines (I have always gotten migraines but the lack of sleep has really affected the frequency). My next order of business is to check for sleep apnea because my Apple Watch shows that I am having all of these little periods of microsleep throughout the night with periods of being awake that I don’t even consciously remember. I also have to wake up to pee at least 2x a night 😭. Getting old sucks lol. If I don’t drink water, though, I get too dehydrated and trigger a migraine. But, yes, get a good night’s sleep! 🎉
