So comfortable, that druring the first time I fell asleep. the noise isn't THAT loud, and it doesn't make you feel anything now does it? everything you do is lie still. You're just claustrophobic aren't you? I guess I am, a little bit. I didn't have a panic attack or anything like that, but I could not wait to get out of that thing. The noise was not that loud, but I found it very annoying. I think some better ear protection or noise cancelling would have made it much easier. | ||

From what I understood migraines can dilate vessels but it would take something more like a mass or really bad inflammation to cause that much damage. It sounds like you got steroids for inflammation? Just a bit confused on how migraines can do that. It's not about migraines dilating vessels, but how they can contract them; the risk in this case is vasospasm. The pathophysiological phenomena behind this is thought to be the vasospasm in the vasa nervorum of the 3rd cranial nerve, which in term can cause temporary nerve damage and inflammation; hence, you're given steroids, which are known to reverse inflammation and prevence recurrence of vasospasm. | ||

This one is no different and yes being a patient does suck. X_X On the bright side, doesn't sound like you had to wait too long. | ||

He is, perhaps, the most badass person in the history of the universe. This motherfucker opperated on HIS OWN appendix... With NO ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER... ... In Anctarctica... While AWAKE. In case pics are required: ![[image loading]](http://www.badassoftheweek.com/rogozov1.jpg) Not that I want to disregard your quote, but, meh, this guy deserves props. I mean, look at the man holding his damn appendix in his hands! | ||

EPT
. I had my arm frequently fall off the socket, they called it "luxação recidivante" in Portuguese. Is "recurrent discolocation" the correct English medical term?
