Red light therapy? Many of the massage devices which offer heat have red lights that are skin to eye candy. There is so much BS spread as healthcare gets more expensive like naming some of those "Shiatsu" when they are just randomly roughing you up. If this is a real thing I'd be skeptical of...

What a let down this must be for you. I suspect they are not prepared to set you up with a reschedule at the drop of an unexpected cancel-worthy event. I have no experience with medical outside the USA but in the USA you get conditioned for a level of care which would include some indication of...

Perhaps the OP was thinking that external heat and extreme relaxation in combo with the need to maintain INR could create a potentially dangerous situation with heart patients? As much as you can read here you can still tune out on things and misunderstand. Just reading is not enough for many...

@Teapotimus In March '23 you said the cardiologist mentioned that you proved the whole team wrong. Was he referring to the future they had anticipated vs. what unfolded or something else?

On "kick the sleeping dog" my mother died relatively young because she didn't want to do routine colonoscopies. She ended up in the hospital vomiting poo, she had one at that point and they discovered metastasized cancer. Her husband still did not get one himself into his late 60's. I lost...

Does the non-camera tube tour style "just as effective" apply to high risk family history?

Forgive me for not reading existing posts. I just wanted to say that one thing you will not be eligible for is contract work for the military in a combat zone so scratch that off your list. A friend of mine is doing work in the Middle East for one year. It is just supply logistics. He had to...

Interesting. I wonder whether you were conscious but just did not remember anything going on. Your description suggests you went unconscious but Midazolam causes amnesia but does make you unconscious. I guess the less "out" the safer. An anesthesiologist takes you close to death. They say...

Loved the claymation film Chicken Run. Very clever writing and well done. Touches on many common human behaviors. Have not seen the sequel.

@Seeker as you stated there may not be a The Carnivore Diet even though there is at least one book and lots of referencing to a The Carnivore Diet and being much more strict about what it consists of.

Mankind relied on meat for generations before any so called balanced diet was available. It takes longer than this to evolve. We are the same animal that we have been since we relied on everything through eating meat.

You need to do the diet or you are doing something else. He says try it 90 days. That is not being sloppy about it. Mixing in other things isn't doing the diet. You are free to do whatever you want of course but it isn't The Carnivore Diet if you are not following The Carnivore Diet. That should...

I was considering it. I know a guy who was type 2 diabetic and that went away. My friend no longer needs pain medicine for his back injury. I have arthritis of the spine and a couple of injured discs. I was hoping to relieve the pain. But I am high risk for colon cancer so was advised to avoid...

Just throwing this into the pot. I have had aFib for years before and after valve replacement surgery. I expect to have it for the rest of my life. 1 month shy of 2 year valve anniversary I received a pacemaker. It sends msgs out. Each visit with pacemaker clinician they ask whether I felt...

I will chalk this up to not comprehending my car analogy. I am going to approach this differently. A consequence is that it will appear more pessimistic. Unintentional, it is just a question. I am not worried. I am wondering about what you have considered. If you are not waiting for the valve...

Curious, if it is not malfunctioning what in the test indicates it is not operating properly so it is replaced before the malfunctioning stage? Not operating properly and malfunctioning are synonymous.

I am wondering. If this were a car and you planned to take a long trip or to use the car regularly for a long commute would you wait for something to go out or would you replace the obvious knowing you are on borrowed time? Some cars have to have a significant maintenance replacement done near...

If you are needing to hear every subtle crunch of leaves on the ground at varying distances anything like a ticking in your immediate proximity could interfere with that, at least this is how I perceived what was described. To the OP, seek counseling. You would benefit from being trained to...

HI Caroline, Slipkid is not saying he started driving immediately. He is saying that when he eventually started driving again he couldn't do without the heart pillow. "Not only in the initial weeks at home but when I started driving again I couldn't do without it..."
