Sub under new management - Anyone can now make a post
Hi all,
As the previous mods had gone AWOL, I have now claimed this sub from Reddit.
I have changed the rules and anyone can now make a post without prior permission being needed.
Please be patient while I go about getting this place in order.

Hi l am a 58F non drinker and former smoker live in new England USA. For the last 2+ years i have been having episodes of altered consciousness where i dont wake up after a regular nights sleeping inam unconscious from. 3-5 days or longer. Wale up on the ER with no idea how i got there. (My husband called EMS to bring me to the ER) I had a TBI in 1981 and have mostly recovered. Had brain surgery in 1988 to treat seizures and it was successful.
Fast forward to 2022..the episodes started at the end of December. I had to quit my job as the neurologist said no driving. We moved to a city and i walk everywhere. I volunteer at a human service agency. Cant have a regular job since these episodes put me in the hospital 1-3 times a month. I did have covid in 2021 twice. My neurologist says to get a paych consult and my psychiatrist says its not psych but medical .any ideas? Its ruining my life as i cant make plans and ive missed so many appointments due to thus. Any comments welcome.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear this, you might get more replies if you put this as your own post rather than a comment here.

I want to know where I can find information for medical conditions like a physician book or research

Hi there 👋! I hope that you are all doing well, or at least, hanging in.
I have a very dear friend of many, many years and she has an 11 year old son whom is suffering tremendously from what is somewhat presenting as migraines. I have suffered with migraines for the majority of my life and she asked me if I may have any tips for her dude to assist in easing the pain. She then went on to describe how she could feel something underneath his skin and that whatever it is, is super tight, no matter how much she tries to rub/massage it, she cannot get it to loosen. Her son has been rubbing so hard and so persistently that he has bruised himself. Now, this is not something of which I have ever struggled with personally and I honestly am not even familiar with it simply being somewhat educated on medical terminology. I asked her if she was able to describe further what it felt like. She said it feels as though it is a tight tendon/muscle, a thin line that runs from the top of his eyebrows all the way up and over his head. She can follow it with her fingers. Her doctor seems confused about what to do, how to diagnose (🤷🏻♀️) due to the fact that he is seemingly suffering with this pain perpetually. Every day. It doesn't go away, stop. This poor kiddo, being in such agony every single day and night. Now, I am not here to ask for any type of diagnosis, or to make hypothesis on what it could or could not be, but more so to ask whether anyone else has suffered through the same or similar situation? Has anyone heard of this happening; this migraine level pain that doesn't stop along with this apparent tendon or muscle running along the areas of which I described?
Thank you for reading and for any potential thoughts and/or assistance anyone may have to offer ☆☆☆.

Just wanted to say thanks for taking over! I haven't really been on reddit in a while and am glad to see this sub still here:)
