  2. Scientists have pinpointed the cause of #nausea and #vomiting in #pregnancy, "finding that the severity of illness is influenced by how much of a hormone called #GDF15 the growing #fetus makes," reports Science Magazine.

  3. People say I have #BodyDysmorphophobia and to be honest they're right. Though not in the way they believe. For me it's just that I've never been able to judge my size. Even when I was young, like preteen young, I was overly concerned about my #weight and I had a six pack. But I was sure I was heavier than everyone else.

    As I got older and bigger, I was always fighting that, but I was also trying to fight my nurturing. My mum was obsessed with #LosingWeight and as a result I tried to not be that. Throw that together with being a staunch #AntiMaterialist and all it meant was that there was a disconnect between how I looked and how I saw myself. And ultimately it didn't matter because I was determined to surround myself with people that loved me for me rather what I look like or what I owned.

    I mean I had trash #EatingHabits, but I was cognisant enough to try and strive for the best despite those trash eating habits and so I managed to maintain my weight just the wrong side of correctly. Throughout my adult years I tried everything and nothing and no matter what, I couldn't get where I wanted to be, but I found solace in not being terrible.

    Then came #COVID and everything changed. The balance broke and I started sliding in the wrong direction. Unaware BTW. After the #pandemic, I ended up in #IntensiveCare because the lack of balance broke me and I got a rare type of #diabetes that tried to reap my life. I was so confused by it all. I ate the same breakfast daily, designed to be nutritious and filling. I only ate lunch sometimes and dinner was a single takeaway serving. I believed I was doing everything right.

    In hospital they told me I needed to #LoseWeight and I thought, who? Me? I spoke to a #dietician in the #type1diabetes department and I just remember feeling attacked the whole time. Though I did learn how to count carbohydrates. I was trying and actually started losing weight. It wasn't until I was discharged and ended up being prescribed #semaglutide. They asked if I wanted oral or injections and I opted for oral. My system is sensitive and so it instantly changed my life. Not in the miracle drug way, but I was struggling with #nausea and #AcidReflux, so I had to figure out how to adapt and I did. The key was portion sizes. Too large and I felt sick, too small and I had acid reflux.

    I spoke to a different #dietician and her approach was different, it was a better fit for me. She suggested logging my meals in #MyFitnessPal and I was sceptical. But I recently got a new phone and Google were bundling Pixel Watches, so I looked into the #Fitbit app and saw it had meal logging. I began logging and then I began paying attention. The weight was dropping off of me aggressively. To the point that two different medical staff said they'd never seen such success before.

    The dietitian then suggested I started walking to try and maintain as much muscle mass as possible. As someone that hates walking for no reason, I had to do some mental gymnastics, but eventually, maintain muscle mass became a good enough reason, so I found a route near me with a steep hill and started walking it. Once a week at first and then twice, four times and then every weekday. The hill started as a struggle and then it wasn't enough so I started adding more routes.

    The dietitian then suggested I go to the #gym and I was open to the idea. I actually just wanted to ride #LimeBikes around the city, but they weren't available and so the gym seemed the next best solution. However my blood pressure had other ideas and they didn't think it was safe. So while I asked my doctor to give me permission, and they dragged their heels, I ended up using #Gemini to design a Circuit for me to do at home. Sod's Law meant one week after starting, two months after asking my doctor, I got permission to go to the gym. I asked Gemini to help me with a workout routine based on what they had available and have been going, going for hypertrophy, going for an #RPE of 7, going for the #MAV, going all in.

    I've now lost an outrageous amount of weight and yet all I see is the imperfections because I could never judge size in the first place and I'm relatively okay with that. I'm never thinking about surgery, all I'm thinking about is #CaloriesInCaloriesOut, #Macronutrients and trying to improve my physique. I'm at a weight that I never thought possible and at a body fat percentage I never even dreamed of dreaming of. I can't judge me, because I'm incapable. That's my body dysmorphophobia; having no idea what I look like just believing I'm good enough looking to be desired and interesting enough to be loved.

    In terms of #WeightLoss, first and foremost you need a desire. Not via magic but with your life. Learn how to log calories and then learn how to live in a #CalorieDeficit and then learn how to enjoy your calorie deficit. Portion control truly is your friend. After that, start strength training so your skin tightens as much as possible and you're good to go.

  4. #Beaches from Crystal River, Florida, to Ogunquit, Maine, have been under advisories warning about #WaterQuality this week because of elevated levels of #bacteria associated with #fecal #waste. The advisories typically discourage #beachgoers from going in the #water because the #bacteria can cause #gastrointestinal #illness, #rashes & #nausea.

  5. Very proud of Sameer Alladin, who just published the first preprint of his PhD! It's on proto-#nausea: that slightly funny feeling you get in your #stomach when you experience #disgust!

  6. Me and my stomach have been doing that gastric bypass patient dance all day today. We’re having trouble getting along. We need to work together but today we’re causing problems for each other.

    I have eaten three meals. Each meal came with a stomach problem of varying degrees.

    I had a protein bar for breakfast. I went a little too fast and felt that blocked/stuck feeling. It wasn’t bad enough to become nausea or to produce large amounts of extra saliva that I have to spit out. I tried gagging it up but nothing came. I had to pause eating for about half an hour before the blockage was gone and then I was able to finish.

    I had a burger (cooked on the grill) and some french fries for lunch. The burger went down without any issues. The fries though. I only had about four of them and I should have stopped at three. I felt a little blocked again. I think I was going too fast this time as well. It was never bad enough to require any spitting up. I don’t know how long it took to pass, but it wasn’t long. As soon as I declared myself done with lunch I was off to my father’s so it was probably a couple of hours before I even thought about eating or drinking anything else.

    I had a big piece of chicken and a little bit of white rice for dinner. Well, it was big for me. about three ounces. The chicken went down fine. The rice felt a little off. I only had two small fork fulls. I was okay afterward though. I stopped in time to avoid any problems. When I finished dinner I was a smidge below my daily protein goal. I waited about 20 minutes and then had a little tiny protein bar snack. It went bad. I think this time I took too big a bite and it got stuck for real. I gagged up a tiny bit of it and have been spitting out saliva for about half an hour now.

    So there we have it. All summed up. Three meals, three stomach issues. Yippee. My doctor told me that in almost every case when there is a stomach problem after eating it’s really the patient’s fault. In all three cases this was my fault. It actually makes me feel better knowing that. If it’s something I did rather than something going on with my new stomach, then it’s something I can control.

    220 pounds lost since the surgery. Yeah, these sort of things are 100% worth it. Absolutely.

  7. #Missouri {human} #birdflu case is a 'one-off' & public #risk is still low, officials say, abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStor

    The person had #chest pain, #nausea, #vomiting, #diarrhea & weakness & was hospitalized on Aug. 22 “for reasons related to their underlying medical conditions,” Shah said... "Ultimately, a full {virus genes} sequence may not be technically feasible," Shah said.

  8. There's apparently a trendy movement promoting the consumption of #rawMilk based on the false notion that #unpasteurized #milk is somehow healthier (#naturalisticFallacy).

    Raw milk is not healthier than #pasteurized milk, and it can cause issues like #nausea, #diarrhea, #vomiting or, in some cases, #seriousIllness. Don't subject yourself and your family to unnecessary danger for the sake of adhering to a misguided and misinformed trend.

  9. CW: Nausea & vomiting

    My daughter suffered from intractable nausea & vomiting. Long story short, she had/has atypically presenting Celiac and oral allergy syndrome.

    If you have unexplained nausea & vomiting it seems prudent to rule out Celiac and get tested for allergies by a specialist.

    When she was in hospital she was tested for food allergies with a blood test (IgE Ab testing) - which was inadequate.

    There was a clinical study that found that a GF diet can improve POTS symptoms in ppl w/o Celiac -

  11. ‘We’re Living in a Nightmare:’ Inside the Health Crisis of a #Texas Bitcoin Town

    "Nighttime noise pollution directly leads to heart failure and molecular changes in the brain, which may lead to impaired cognitive development of children and make some people more prone to developing dementia"

    by Andrew R. Chow, Jul 16, 2024

    Excerpt: "n an evening in December 2023, 43-year-old small business owner Sarah Rosenkranz collapsed in her home in #GranburyTX and was rushed to the emergency room. Her heart pounded 200 beats per minute; her blood pressure spiked into hypertensive crisis; her skull throbbed. 'It felt like my head was in a pressure vise being crushed,' she says. 'That pain was worse than childbirth.'

    "Rosenkranz’s migraine lasted for five days. Doctors gave her several rounds of IV medication and painkiller shots, but nothing seemed to knock down the pain, she says. This was odd, especially because local doctors were similarly vexed when Indigo, Rosenkranz’s 5-year-old daughter, was taken to urgent care earlier that year, screaming that she felt a 'red beam behind her eardrums.'

    "It didn’t occur to Sarah that these symptoms could be linked. But in January 2024, she walked into a town hall in Granbury and found a room full of people worn thin from strange, debilitating illnesses. A mother said her 8-year-old daughter was losing her hearing and fluids were leaking from her ears. Several women said they experienced fainting spells, including while driving on the highway. Others said they were wracked by debilitating #vertigo and #nausea, waking up in the middle of the night mid-vomit.

    "None of them knew what, exactly, was causing these symptoms. But they all shared a singular grievance: a dull aural #hum had crept into their lives, which growled or roared depending on the time of day, rattling their windows and rendering them unable to sleep. The hum, local law enforcement had learned, was emanating from a #Bitcoin mining facility that had recently moved into the area—and was exceeding legal noise ordinances on a daily basis."

  15. Dear producers, please stop with the shaky camera

    After I just had to stop watching the 4th TV series within a few months about 10mins into the first episode because I could not handle the shaky, handheld camera, I would like to use my humble blog, which definitely no TV show producers will ever read, to rant about this absolutely stupid trend.

    I just cannot watch anything with shaky camera. Very similar to how first person (and some third […]

  16. you ever just... feel super gd gross despite doing (nigh) everything right?

    Like, except exercise, I did the food, hydration, meds, even salt and blood sugar, more water -- I fucked up the timing on some of these so I just get to Feel Like Dogshit for a few hours, in repentance.

    But generally, as best I could / can be expected, and just need to be propelled through it by the velocity of time.

  17. I got some good news today that starting going forward, I'm going to be weaned off my #chemo meds, which can't come soon enough. Over the last few months, my doc has ramped up my meds so that I'm currently taking 8 times as much as I took at the beginning, and it's hell. When I first started, the #nausea wouldn't come until late at night and would last only a day, but since upping the dose it's been hitting hard and fast every monday. I feel like complete crap right now.

  18. #FoxNews is pushing out objective #bullshit about medication #abortion. These #liars are desperate to convince #America actual #facts are #lies, and #rightwing lies are facts. To be clear, the rate of serious #complications resulting from the abortion #pill is 0.1%. #Cramping, #bleeding, and #nausea are the most common #sideEffects. But, according to Fox the pill is dropping bodies left and right. These people are a joke. They spew lies and call it an #opinion.

  19. I'm not sure I've done a #TuneTuesday before, but I dig this week's theme of #YourFavoriteRemix.

    One of my favorite remixes EVER is this Pirates Mix: Bumblebeez Remix of Beck's "Nausea". I like it WAY better than the album version of the song. This was on the deluxe version of The Information.

    Love that Beck goes for these wild remixes of his stuff.

That's my body dysmorphophobia; having no idea what I look like just believing I'm good enough looking to be desired and interesting enough to be loved.

    In terms of #WeightLoss, first and foremost you need a desire. Not via magic but with your life. Learn how to log calories and then learn how to live in a #CalorieDeficit and then learn how to enjoy your calorie deficit. Portion control truly is your friend. After that, start strength training so your skin tightens as much as possible and you're good to go.

  25. People say I have #BodyDysmorphophobia and to be honest they're right. Though not in the way they believe. For me it's just that I've never been able to judge my size. Even when I was young, like preteen young, I was overly concerned about my #weight and I had a six pack. But I was sure I was heavier than everyone else.

    As I got older and bigger, I was always fighting that, but I was also trying to fight my nurturing. My mum was obsessed with #LosingWeight and as a result I tried to not be that. Throw that together with being a staunch #AntiMaterialist and all it meant was that there was a disconnect between how I looked and how I saw myself. And ultimately it didn't matter because I was determined to surround myself with people that loved me for me rather what I look like or what I owned.

    I mean I had trash #EatingHabits, but I was cognisant enough to try and strive for the best despite those trash eating habits and so I managed to maintain my weight just the wrong side of correctly. Throughout my adult years I tried everything and nothing and no matter what, I couldn't get where I wanted to be, but I found solace in not being terrible.

    Then came #COVID and everything changed. The balance broke and I started sliding in the wrong direction. Unaware BTW. After the #pandemic, I ended up in #IntensiveCare because the lack of balance broke me and I got a rare type of #diabetes that tried to reap my life. I was so confused by it all. I ate the same breakfast daily, designed to be nutritious and filling. I only ate lunch sometimes and dinner was a single takeaway serving. I believed I was doing everything right.

    In hospital they told me I needed to #LoseWeight and I thought, who? Me? I spoke to a #dietician in the #type1diabetes department and I just remember feeling attacked the whole time. Though I did learn how to count carbohydrates. I was trying and actually started losing weight. It wasn't until I was discharged and ended up being prescribed #semaglutide. They asked if I wanted oral or injections and I opted for oral. My system is sensitive and so it instantly changed my life. Not in the miracle drug way, but I was struggling with #nausea and #AcidReflux, so I had to figure out how to adapt and I did. The key was portion sizes. Too large and I felt sick, too small and I had acid reflux.

    I spoke to a different #dietician and her approach was different, it was a better fit for me. She suggested logging my meals in #MyFitnessPal and I was sceptical. But I recently got a new phone and Google were bundling Pixel Watches, so I looked into the #Fitbit app and saw it had meal logging. I began logging and then I began paying attention. The weight was dropping off of me aggressively. To the point that two different medical staff said they'd never seen such success before.

    The dietitian then suggested I started walking to try and maintain as much muscle mass as possible. As someone that hates walking for no reason, I had to do some mental gymnastics, but eventually, maintain muscle mass became a good enough reason, so I found a route near me with a steep hill and started walking it. Once a week at first and then twice, four times and then every weekday. The hill started as a struggle and then it wasn't enough so I started adding more routes.

    The dietitian then suggested I go to the #gym and I was open to the idea. I actually just wanted to ride #LimeBikes around the city, but they weren't available and so the gym seemed the next best solution. However my blood pressure had other ideas and they didn't think it was safe. So while I asked my doctor to give me permission, and they dragged their heels, I ended up using #Gemini to design a Circuit for me to do at home. Sod's Law meant one week after starting, two months after asking my doctor, I got permission to go to the gym. I asked Gemini to help me with a workout routine based on what they had available and have been going, going for hypertrophy, going for an #RPE of 7, going for the #MAV, going all in.

    I've now lost an outrageous amount of weight and yet all I see is the imperfections because I could never judge size in the first place and I'm relatively okay with that. I'm never thinking about surgery, all I'm thinking about is #CaloriesInCaloriesOut, #Macronutrients and trying to improve my physique.
