I used to be terrified of red backs but they’re the most chill they just mind their own business, huntsman’s on the other hand non venomous yet love to terrorise people
I nearly died today from an asthma attack. I was rushed into the ER as I was beginning to lose consciousness. I just remember lots of alarms, and a nurse explaining that the nebulizer isn't working as quickly as they need and that they were going to give me steroids and magnesium sulfate intravenously. She said I'd feel a prick. I thought to myself that she could take the whole arm and I wouldn't notice. They were able to stabilize me without intubation and I walked out 3 hours later with a nebulizer, and an RX for Prednisone and Albuterol. Luckily I have enough steroids coursing through my body that I can take the rest of this day to rest.
Awesome video dude. I have to say my Gallbladder pain was a true 10 out of 10 man. I fought for hours on end, almost for 2 years straight EVERY SINGLE DAY. Its funny because the moment you lay down for bed or get comfy, you can feel the pain creep up. It is like charcoal, it starts out as a little flame but gets hotter and hotter and at the peak man the Damn charcoal turns white when its at its hottest. It would hit my Shoulder blades, the middle of my back, it would sometimes run up my jaw. I remember crying so hard because there was NOTHING I could do and I knew it as I was on a vacation and stuck in some Hillbilly town with NO hospital near it. That night I ate a Snickers bar and a Boston cream doughnut because I thought I deserved it. I was so so so wrong. It's not like a give and take system where you eat lettuce and vitamins for 2 weeks and then you can have a cheat day, the moment you touch a drip of Oil in your mouth, you're TOAST. I'm a big boy , always have been. Im 6'6" and have weighed 285 lbs for 14 years (now 33). I have my finger chopped off, Kidney surgery where I had NO pain medication as the doctors didn't now (no one knew) I was allergic to Fentanyl and had to wait and hour before they switched me to something else. Hell, I've been stabbed in the face and I mean truly stabbed, where I could see my left eyebrow with my right eye. The point Im trying to make is that this pain was so pure and chaotic, I mean these Measley words cannot even give you and IDEA on how MONSTEROUS the pain is. If I could give ANY advice, it would be to NOT self help, Don't go on youtube and try to find cures or remedies. You don't need to drink apple cider vinegar and take shots of Lemon juice, you don't need to turn to street drugs or anything like that because none of it will help. I was so afraid of going into surgery, that is the truth. I didn't want to be put under and I was so scared of it that I chose to suffer with this DEMONIC pain for 2 whole damned years before actually doing something about it. Remember guy's, do what it takes and never ever put yourself through so much suffering like I did. You don't deserve that. Awesome video handsome king. Take care and have fun ! Warmly , - Marcus
I am a white woman and was told I had very narrow angles and it was likely I had Mongolian blood lines. But in my DNA is 65%Scottish 10%Irish 17% Scandinavian and 8% British Isles. My sister had an acute attack and was lucky not to lose her vission,her treatment was lens replacement. I had an irodotomy 15 years ago,but had developed cataract on both eyes. So I went private and had both lens replaced an the NHS in England don't seem to take it seriously
Supposed you don't have pressure issues in your eyes but have inf thin OD, very large nerves OS>OD, outside norms and 96/82, inf thin OD, larger cup? No headaches, redness, itching, burning, tearing, floaters. How is that treated? Will a good healthy diet help?
Got diagnosed with glaucoma this year. Only 24 / : have had terrible eye pressure and migraines cause by the pressure since I was a child. Tomilol has helped the pressure and monthly migraines go down greatly
I started to get a really bad headache, both eyes extremely cloudy. Went to ER and Dr. didn't know what was wrong but gave me several shots of fentanyl (3). Pain was getting better, got sent home. Eyes cleared up after awhile. I thought the headache was so bad that it was affecting my eyes. Once in awhile, after that, one of my eyes would get a little "cloudy". Kinda like when you open your eyes underwater in the swimming pool and when you get out your eyesight is kinda cloudy from the chlorine. Like I said every now and then that happened. One day it happened again, I just took tylenol thinking the pain was from my headache. After 24 hours I couldn't stand it anymore, went to the same ER. They didn't have a clue what was wrong ( I also have an aneurysm) they admitted me, took me up to a room. I was in excruciating pain. I'd been at the hospital for about 9 or 10 hours. Finally a Dr. came into my room and said he wanted to check the pressure in my eyes. He immediately said I need to get to an eye surgeon before I go blind. Left the hospital and met the eye surgeon at her closed office. She drilled a hole in each eye, left one got better but right one, no change. I couldn't take the pain. She eventually had to get a needle and suction fluid out. Pain started going away, thank god. My eyesight is permanently damaged.
@@freebackgroundmusicnon-cop4846 my left eye is ok, I can see clearly out of it with glasses, but my right eye (pressure was OVER 85) it's like all cloudy. If both of my eyes were like that I wouldn't be able to read or drive. My pupil stays dilated so light is almost blinding. I really feel such a loss. I mean I'm so grateful that I can still see but it was kinda hard to deal with.
@@luckyPen-E - Thanks for your reply. I'm 71 was just diagnosed with both open angle glaucoma and cataract by an optometrist, now waiting to see an ophthalmologist. In the meantime I'm trying to learn about these conditions and treatments as much as possible on my own. Sounded to me your experiences with the doctors were not all positive which may have left or caused you these permanent damages. I am very sorry. My best wishes to you.
I lost an IV in a toddler during the securing process, fortunately, the bloods came back reassuring and she went home and didn't need a re-insertion. Won't let that happen again.
6:10 "Those gases don't sound too bad. Why don't we try a couple of nebs over the next few hours and send her home." Reply: "Those gases were on 4L per minute and her RR is over 30, I'm sure she's going to have to come in, and I've started therefore some IV Cef and oral Azithromycin." .... "We are pretty tight down here beds wise, if it's OK with you?......"
On Monday 20th 2022 I was standing near the Murray River in Mildura ad I felt a bite on my left leg as I looked. IT WAS A REDBACK SPIDER. (YES SPIDERS DO LIVE NEAR HE MURRAY RIVER!!! 🕷️)
Mint. I was indulging in mint candies for a week.I thought I had developed strep throat because I had extreme pain in one tonsil and in the lymph nodes along that jaw. I went in for a step test and by the time I got to the doctor office I couldn't get enough air out to speak. When the doctor saw me my BP was 225/125 (very unusual for me). ER doctor treated the throat swelling and gave me a diagnosis of possible hereditary angioedema after I adamantly refused ibuprofen. A week later I ate a handful of fresh cherries and my sinuses swelled and became so painful I couldn't touch my face. I've gone salicylate free for a few weeks now and all my weird body symptoms have calmed down and my blood pressure is dropping to more normal levels
Interesting Article; I was told I had Glaucoma in 2000. I had cataracts removed in 2003. They did implants so I would not have to wear Coke Bottles. I was put 0n 1 eye drop after another. My pressures were trageted to be 12 both eyes. Then in 2020, they did laser to reduce my eye pressures as they were now 14 and the doctor told me no need for eyedrops now. But he still gave me 9 months of eyedrops. He scheduled me for my next appointment in 6 months. I had the pressures checked a 6 months later. they were now 15, so the laser did nothing. I now had a big problem, as no matter what we did my eye pressures stayed above 15. I was losing the battle. Since then I have lost most of the vision in my good right eye. my left eye has blind area above the center. Now my vision is getting fuzzy and I have double vision. Not sure how much longer I will last. I gave up driving in 2020. I can get around the house as I have memorized it well. Then next problem is coming soon. I do not look forward to the coming months and years. I was told 3 years ago that they were very, very close for a cure due to very good progress in several areas for Glaucoma repairs. And for me not to worry. Well, that was 3 years ago now and I see no further progress. Hope for the best, but expect the worst. Good Luck to all of you with similar problems. Doctors tell you stuff, but really do not know.

Great presentation, I think you'll find my "case" interesting. Ever since puberty, my left testicle has intermittently rotated up to 180 degrees counter-clockwise freely, pain free. I asked my PCP if it was normal, I was referred to urology, who said it's fine and not a risk for torsion. Just untwist manually, and go to the ER if there's ever severe pain. No bell clapper. I forget the "diagnosis" though. Something is loose, but not in a way that predisposes to torsion. This was diagnosed a decade ago at age 17. No issues have arisen. Hopefully I'll never have torsion!
