The point with depression though is that a lot of people don't want to put their problems on someone else or they feel like they don't have a reason to complain about anything so they will not speak about it with someone. But it's so important to let people around you know, because they care about you. The way you feel does matter and you can let other people in on that.
Nyntje 347 I’ve had several bouts of depression and I’ve found that I didn’t get better until I opened up to someone and to allow people to help me. Even by small things like my mum taking me out for a walk in the woods to therapists who tried to get my thoughts sorted out. It’s truly amazing how much help there is when you talk about it.
What's funny is that the empathy we naturally have, the one that charities feast on with their sad mourning songs and picture of kids... That turns ugly for a lot of people suffering from depression. What normally would be the courtesy of thinking "everyone has problems and someone else's problems might be more intense" becomes "My problems are so trivial compared to others. So what right do I have to complain about my anxiety when it's no where near that guy's PTSD" or "I am causing my problems to be amplified.... Clearly they are having a bad day and are taking it out on me because I made it worse." I have dealt with many aspects of my depression, but the one I find is the deadliest killer is the one you're blind to... The one you don't even realize you're protecting: Something loosely (as these kinds of questions can become a trigger) like "sure, the video I saw on social media clearly shows a guy being abusive to their dog.... But why is the person holding the camera supporting such abuse by standing back and filming it? Why didn't they jump in and stop them?" (Feel free to switch out animal abuser for abusive father, and camera operator for mother, if you want a more lifelike example).
"WE"ll be back soon. No "I". "We". I take that as a promise. Edit: Correction of typo. Maybe unnecessary. Doing it after 79 likes including one from the doctor.
Easy treatment for worms: Go to you garden, find your local hedgehog, start petting it regularly. The worm will get scared because hedgehogs are their mortal enemy and will move out an go live on the american continent. Because, as you know, there are no hedgehogs in america. Bonus: Petting hedgehogs is fun.
Also bonus: You got rid of the worms splendidly, but you also made new friends in the countless hedgehog fleas that will now be your traveling companions.
Well, we do have hedgehogs in the U.S. They sell them for $150-$250 at per stores. :/ But to have wild ones, in the garden, and to watch them from afar, would be so much better. You guys are lucky!
@@Room-xi6nb you very rarely actually see them, as they are pretty elusive, and nocturnal. we see foxes a lot though! foxes are basically like raccoons over here. jumping in your bins, making a racket in the night. of course there's also badgers, but i've only ever seen flattened on high speed country roads sadly :(
@@Relyx We have plenty of foxes in the US as well, at least in the part where I grew up. If they get in the trash, though, they're subtler about it than raccoons.
I love the way Scrubs used an episode to basically teach the audience the signs and symptoms of diabetes through Turk not noticing them in himself. Public service announcing disguised as entertainment!

Me: stressed about Covid lockup. Doc: When have you last gone on a date? Me: ummm. Doc: Don't sell yourself short, even if you have to do it online because of the pandemic, try and meet new people because you deserve that happiness in your life. GPs truly are more than symptom treaters, they are life coaches too.
The only time that I got anxious in front of a female doctor was going to the ER. The curtain walls only allowed the doctor to stand sideways next to the bed and the noise was loud, so when she approached me with a brisk bedside manor, my hesitation and request that she come closer (you know, so that my issues weren't echoed in the hall) was viewed as sexist, and she sent a male nurse to shake me down. Luckily, he approached and realized the delicacy of my issue, so he sent her back with more understanding... Though by that time I had an axiety attack thinking I was going to be banned from a hospital for false accusations.
Yay! I love your videos with Dr. Lizzie! The two of you play off of each other so well and have such a good time together. I'm looking forward to content the two of you will do together soon. Maybe review a show together? Have a great day/night, Ed!
thanks for part 2 and welcome back Dr. Lizzie! These searches are a typical Friday night for me. You wouldn't believe the diseases I've had according to my poor research results. Or, perhaps, you would believe it haha.
JennPoo Right? You type into webmd that your little toe hurts and within 5 minutes you have an incurable brain tumor. I would advice everyone to stop googling and to see your gp instead. That’s what they’re there for.
As fun as these are, I'd love to see you starting an episode like these from the other end: Start with symptoms you'd like people to come in for, especially ones that people tend to overlook, trivialize, ignore, procrastinate on... and then tell us what it could be, and what it might also be.
Last time I got the flu, I gained a super power. While I was sick, whenever the fever flared and I was burning up, my legs got really toasty too (I think it was thigh muscles, but I'm not sure). Now, for some reason, I can tell that it's going to be a really hot day because the same areas in my legs get really hot. Even before the day starts to heat up, my body reacts. Why? I have no idea. Is it useful? Not really, I live in Australia... it's always hot. lol Yup, human bodies are strange.
Hey a westerner here (specifically from Texas 🤠) and I stumbled on your channel quite randomly and I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your vids. Just spent an hour watching em, because I find them pretty interesting. Keep up the good work! Subscribed! 👍🏼
Thanks for another great video! Hope Dr Lizzie will be a permanent fixture, love the way you get on together and how you both explain things so clearly.
@@video_games1557 Well you dont use 100% of your brain at once tho, just like you don't use all 6 gears on your car at once. And you won't go faster if you somehow did
@@Excludos I made a video about it ( on another channel called Vapournet ), I know . Btw , noice and thanks for spreading the knowledge , keep up the good work 🤘👍
Not always. Some people mistake an axiety attack for a heart attack, so someone could do the opposite and mistake an acute angina (mini heart attack) for anxiety. Or anxiety for clinical depression. Or anxiety for asthma attack... Etc.
The best way to know if you have bed bugs is to check your bedding. You want to check your sheets and mattress; paying close attention to any seams. If you have them you'll notice reddish brown stains from their excrement. If you have an especially bad infestation you might actually see one or notice a sickly sweet smell. If you think you have them call pest control and/or your landlord.
IBS also might be biggest symptom of some other problem and it's annoying when doctors say that it's just IBS while you know it's just blaming a symptom again. Now that IBS is popular diagnosis itself that makes things kinda hard to get checked more if there is something else going on. To me hormonal problems and stress at times make IBS happen and also some medication. I once had perfect storm of those and it was agony - and diagnosis end up being IBS what haunts me to this day because it wasn't the main cause at all.
I'm going through that right now, and it's frustrating. The constant feeling of nausea, random vomiting without warning (I even accidentally vomited on my doctor, when he tapped my knee for reflexes. What was worse, is I had no knee reflex response, so he had to check my ankle reflex point, which also had no response, and in the end, he claimed all three things were "normal" and didn't need further investigation.) If I eat more than a couple of ounces of food, my stomach feels like it will rip open, and I never know if I'm going to have diarrhea or constipation from one minute to the next. But the response is always "it's just IBS, you'll have to learn to live with it." But, I already have to "learn to live with" a spine and nerve degenerative disease, how am I suppose to "learn to live with" this too?
what?? last time i had the flu i had to drag myself out of bed and walk two blocks to get myself to the student health center... it was extremely difficult, but seriously that 10 pound note test is kinda ridiculous it’ll just invalidate people who are more used to pushing through discomfort or who literally just Have to in that circumstance (think chronic illness or endometriosis, etc)
Thanks for this. I'm glad that IBS came up as is so common and is often underrated (severe IBS can be debilitating). In my experience the symptoms mentioned in the video are important but there can also be persistent nausea (I used to feel nauseous pretty constantly and was prescribed anti nausea medication) and IBS can also cause fatigue and headaches (I used to live on paracetamol). I'm also glad you mentioned FODMAP, without this I would never have got my IBS under control and have made it through college. I found that quite a few of the FODMAP lists online are incorrect. I suggest asking your GP to be referred to the community dietitian. The dietitian can give helpful advice and may refer you on to a gastro dietitian. A gastro dietitian is a specialist and there really good a helping you change your diet to relieve your symptoms. If you are put on a low FODMAP diet by a dietitian or your doctor it can feel very restrictive but it allows your body to recover and often many of the prohibited foods can eventually be reintroduced. A cannot stress enough how big a improvement a low FODMAP diet and appointments with my gastro dietitian made to my quality of life.
only recently found this channel, but do want to say on the last one with medical staff sometimes coming across as dismissive, i have felt like that happened to me when i was diagnosed with Crohns, i would get severe stomach cramps, like being hit in the gut with a bat, would flip flop between constipation and diarrhea constantly, and kept going to my GP about it, they marked it as IBS gave me medication for that with no joy, and it went on for a while, i did get frustrated and in the end eventually got sent for endoscopy, colonoscopy, MRI and several blood works and found it was mild Crohns, once we knew everyone was fantastic, and in hindsight i know my GP was doing what they could but we just kept hitting wall after wall, it takes alot to remember when we go to see medical professionals that they are still human and dont know everything
I definitely agree about not having energy to pick up the £10 note. I had swine flu back in 2011 when I at drama school. At the time I was in halls in Glasgow and my neighbour was practicing the french horn for 7 hours! I didn't have the energy to get my phone and text him to stop. I just lay in my bed and listened to him play the same part over and over. I was going insane! Swine flu was horrible! Every muscle was aching, even the tips of my fingers. I wouldn't wish it on anyone!
Maybe this already exists out there on the internet, but a RUclips doctor video on IBS would be amazing. Preferably in tandem with a FODMAP-trained dietitian, who are, I gotta say, the only ones on this planet who actually understand the realities of this curse and how to make it better.
Other sorts of parasitic worms are more serious than pin/thread worms. However a parasitic worm from swine is sometimes used to treat irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic gut conditions. The parasites make some chemicals that can reduce inflammation in the gut. Very interesting, and a possible treatment of last resort for patients who've tried many drugs for these conditions without relief.
Oh I too had scabies. I got it from a sleeper train. Then I unknowingly gave it to someone else and I think we both gave it back and forth for a year despite medicating. Eventually I started using neem oil externally every day (in the hopes that it’s less toxic) for weeks and washing everything every day at a high temperature and living in celibacy. It worked.
Unfortunately we, normal people, need to do a lot of research as well not only go to the gp and trust the doctor blindly. I have bile salt malabsorption which can be confused with ibs a lot! I was lucky enough to be diagnosed with it but how many people have been given antidepressant and then they go back to the gp complaining that it's not working when in fact that's the wrong diagnostic/treatment?
Alina Istrate getting a 2nd, 3rd or even a 4th opinion does wonders when searching for what is ailing you. Trusting the knowledge of one single person is never a good idea
I've had doctors get really annoyed when I come to them saying I've googled my symptoms and found I might have disease X, because it's so easy to self diagnose wrongly, especially when you're not learned enough to know what to look for. I still do it tho, but I've stopped telling my doctors about it, hoping they come to a similar conclusion themselves rather than telling them the answer
you usually don't really have symptoms from the flu, you have the fall out symptoms from the flu having ravaged your body earlier on and your body trying to recover afterwards.. so post-fever and also no bedbugs are not that kind you two doctors are thinking about, that would be dust mites, the bedbugs that search is referring to is the blood sucking brown flat bugs that are notorious for being almost impossible to get rid of besides very strong pesticides or high temperatures(40-50C)/low temperatures(-10 to -30) + time
Dichotomous earth and bay leaves work well to get them to leave. The dichotomous earth rips them apart, while the bay leaves around the house are not a pleasant smell for the bedbugs. They'll want to stay away from it. I know because I had to fight some off.
How to tell if you have bedbugs: 1)are you seeing several red bumps appearing on your skin? 2)are you feeling itchy all over around these red bumps? 3)if you lift your mattress do you see a lot of little black or brown bugs running around under your mattress that if you smash leave blood trails? If the answer to all three of these is yes, you have bed bugs.Bedbugs get killed quite easily with dichotomous earth, and I think they have a strong dislike to bay leaves, so if you leave bay around your house and rub down the furniture with dichotomous earth, they'll quickly make their exit.
Just a kudos for the doctors here, regarding worms. Several of my colleagues and friends who are biomedical scientists decided (probably for reasons I don't wish to know) to specialise in parasitology. I assume they thought of careers filled with gnathostomiasis, N. fowleri cases, maybe even lymph filariasis, and some malaria for a little relaxation. In truth they spend their days receiving stool samples and tapes. I find this hilarious.
bed bugs don't necessarily live in your bed, they will live in any small hall in the wall, the floor, etc. and generally other than the itching bites they are harmless
In terms of health, bedbugs are mostly just annoying. The problem with bedbugs is that once you have them in your house they can be almost impossible to get rid of.
Hey Doc. Have you seen the TV show "Critical". I think that should be your next one to watch. I've only seen the first episode, but it doesn't seem that realistic so far. It's very graphic though (which is fun) and very dramatic.
Thanks for doing another one I always Google things that my doctor says to me and still can't understand it so my Google is full of medical questions 😂😂😂
One thing I think that really sucks about irritable bowel disease and inflammatory bowel disease is that it is hard to get a diagnoses. Like for example, myself. I have been battling bowel disease since I was 15. And I have lost count how many times I've been in hospital. No doctor or specialist can give me a diagnoses. If I had to guess I would say that I have inflammatory bowel disease Crones to be more precise. As I have every single symptom of this disease, all except one. Which to a lot of doctor's is a deal breaker. I don't have weight loss, and because of this I have been told that it is not Crones disease. And I have constant bleeding from the bowel so doctors say I can't have IBS. Although they all agree that I am extremely sick no one can give me a diagnoses. I have been ordered to go into ER every time I have either an attack or experiencing bleeding, however I don't do it. Why? because it is a waist of my time, as they keep me in there for a few hours and then send me home. I have given up. I am the queen of infection and I am supposed to be on antibiotics for the rest of my life, but once again I do not. I don't want to get immune to the drug, while the infections are minor my body can handle the constant infection, but if that infection gets severe then I need to not have immunity to antibiotics. I would love to have a doctor with balls, a doctor that is willing to try anything to get me better. I would like to be put on the medication for Crones disease and see whether there is any improvement in my symptoms, as the way I am living is no way to live. I'm in pain when I stand or sit all the time, my stomach during an attack feels like that my entire gut is on fire, I want the boils to stop, I want my chronic anal fistula disease to stop, I want my bowels to stop leaking and bleeding. I want my life back. Before history repeats itself. As the last time that doctor after doctor after doctor told me that nothing was wrong with me and I was healthy. I had to bleed for an entire day just to get a doctor to have a look at the problem and when he learned what was causing it he gave me a letter and told me to go strait to the ER and hand them the note as I was extremely sick and the hospital was the best place for me. With the flu, I had the flu once and I tell ya I should have been admitted to the hospital, because it lasted for over a month, I couldn't eat or drink as I brought it back up, I couldn't sleep because every time I did I began to choke and I was forced awake, I couldn't walk to far, I had tremendous difficulties in breathing. This lasted a whole month and all my doctor did was put me on a puffer. The human body can't survive without water for 3 days, and the body can't survive without food for 3 weeks. I somehow did, don't ask me how, but I did. As I was certainly nill by mouth for just over a month, the doctors should have sent me to the hospital. My body is weird it functions weird. Like the time I hemoridge according to the surgeon I should be unconscious due to the loss of blood, and yet I was fully alert. That baffled him, he was complaining about it to the ER doctor.
Funniest I heard as a student: "how do I know if I have a carotid sinus?" This was a genuine question, and oddly not only from one person. The internet has a lot to answer for.
IBS sucks. I had to change my diet for years. Best thing is, I lost about 40 pounds and the IBS went away. Being overweight really caused the issue for me.
someones out here like man im constantly tired and pee a lot, wait my butt itches, I ALSO HAVE ANXIETY and so on with all your questions. now thinks their life is over
An updated way to talk about suicide in mental health is saying 'completed suicide' instead of 'committing' suicide. Just because of the historical context around the term 'committing' in relation too suicide. I think the idea also is to reduce connotations of selfishness and crime around suicide, which detract from the suffering of the persons involved, (also ripple affect). Sometimes I wonder if changing that term has much impact, but as it stands in my country suicide rates are sky high and climbing! So I can see why it's worth a try :) Great video :)
Mrs Lizzie Hope???? If neither of you are already married and is single..... Make it happen. You look adorable together. But only if you are NOT yet married!!!!
I know different people who are on 1. a gluten free diet 2. a low FODMAP (fermentable mono-, oligo- and disaccharides and polyols) diet and 3. a low oxalate diet.
Don't feel bad about scabies ;) My whole family got them when we were young because another family in our school (who was unfortunately quite poor and didn't take the best care of themselves) had children in the same class as each of my siblings and me. It was awfullllllll.
I wish I knew the signs for diabetes, I ended up in the hospital for a week. I really wish that they taught that (among other health things) in school.
Lizzie is such a great GP!!! brilliant way of explaining things :D

is "Butt Hole" the medical term?
It's "anus" if you're talking about the actual opening and "sphincter" if you're talking about the circular muscles.

A cannot stress enough how big a improvement a low FODMAP diet and appointments with my gastro dietitian made to my quality of life.
Please make more of these! I love you guys!!
Wow, first time I saw 700 likes and zero dislikes. Well done
Is it too soon to ship these two? From what ive learned from tv two attractive doctors can't just be friends or coworkers
Lol
But these are real people, so it’s a little weird to ship them
These videos are amazing! Keep up the great content. Thank you for your knowledge :)
You two are so entertaining and interesting with your knowledge. I love this channel.
I'm so shipping these two. I got kilig feels when Dr Ed looks at Dr Lizzie when she talks.
right? 😂
Mute the video
I just noticed his copy of “This is Going to Hurt” on his shelf! Great read!
It is so relaxing to watch you two talk about medical stuff :D
only recently found this channel, but do want to say on the last one with medical staff sometimes coming across as dismissive, i have felt like that happened to me when i was diagnosed with Crohns, i would get severe stomach cramps, like being hit in the gut with a bat, would flip flop between constipation and diarrhea constantly, and kept going to my GP about it, they marked it as IBS gave me medication for that with no joy, and it went on for a while,
i did get frustrated and in the end eventually got sent for endoscopy, colonoscopy, MRI and several blood works and found it was mild Crohns, once we knew everyone was fantastic, and in hindsight i know my GP was doing what they could but we just kept hitting wall after wall, it takes alot to remember when we go to see medical professionals that they are still human and dont know everything
I definitely agree about not having energy to pick up the £10 note. I had swine flu back in 2011 when I at drama school. At the time I was in halls in Glasgow and my neighbour was practicing the french horn for 7 hours! I didn't have the energy to get my phone and text him to stop. I just lay in my bed and listened to him play the same part over and over. I was going insane! Swine flu was horrible! Every muscle was aching, even the tips of my fingers. I wouldn't wish it on anyone!
Hooray for sick notes
I love, just love your constant smiles!!!
YAAAAS I really like these dual commentary videos!
Just a note on suicide. It is important to refer to attempts to die by suicide as such, without the word ‘committing’ as ascribed by the Samaritans.
These are so cool. I live what you've been doing on your channel Dr Hope. Awesome!!!!!
Maybe this already exists out there on the internet, but a RUclips doctor video on IBS would be amazing. Preferably in tandem with a FODMAP-trained dietitian, who are, I gotta say, the only ones on this planet who actually understand the realities of this curse and how to make it better.
Other sorts of parasitic worms are more serious than pin/thread worms. However a parasitic worm from swine is sometimes used to treat irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic gut conditions. The parasites make some chemicals that can reduce inflammation in the gut. Very interesting, and a possible treatment of last resort for patients who've tried many drugs for these conditions without relief.
Oh I too had scabies. I got it from a sleeper train. Then I unknowingly gave it to someone else and I think we both gave it back and forth for a year despite medicating. Eventually I started using neem oil externally every day (in the hopes that it’s less toxic) for weeks and washing everything every day at a high temperature and living in celibacy. It worked.
Unfortunately we, normal people, need to do a lot of research as well not only go to the gp and trust the doctor blindly. I have bile salt malabsorption which can be confused with ibs a lot! I was lucky enough to be diagnosed with it but how many people have been given antidepressant and then they go back to the gp complaining that it's not working when in fact that's the wrong diagnostic/treatment?
Alina Istrate getting a 2nd, 3rd or even a 4th opinion does wonders when searching for what is ailing you. Trusting the knowledge of one single person is never a good idea
I've had doctors get really annoyed when I come to them saying I've googled my symptoms and found I might have disease X, because it's so easy to self diagnose wrongly, especially when you're not learned enough to know what to look for.
I still do it tho, but I've stopped telling my doctors about it, hoping they come to a similar conclusion themselves rather than telling them the answer
you usually don't really have symptoms from the flu, you have the fall out symptoms from the flu having ravaged your body earlier on and your body trying to recover afterwards.. so post-fever
and also no bedbugs are not that kind you two doctors are thinking about, that would be dust mites, the bedbugs that search is referring to is the blood sucking brown flat bugs that are notorious for being almost impossible to get rid of besides very strong pesticides or high temperatures(40-50C)/low temperatures(-10 to -30) + time
Dichotomous earth and bay leaves work well to get them to leave. The dichotomous earth rips them apart, while the bay leaves around the house are not a pleasant smell for the bedbugs. They'll want to stay away from it. I know because I had to fight some off.
Find a man who looks at you like Dr Ed looks at Dr Lizzie
How to tell if you have bedbugs: 1)are you seeing several red bumps appearing on your skin? 2)are you feeling itchy all over around these red bumps? 3)if you lift your mattress do you see a lot of little black or brown bugs running around under your mattress that if you smash leave blood trails? If the answer to all three of these is yes, you have bed bugs.Bedbugs get killed quite easily with dichotomous earth, and I think they have a strong dislike to bay leaves, so if you leave bay around your house and rub down the furniture with dichotomous earth, they'll quickly make their exit.
You complement each other very well, good teamwork.
Dr. Hopelessly adorable
"how do I know if I have anxiety?" well i would say this google search is the first symptom to look out for.
Just a kudos for the doctors here, regarding worms. Several of my colleagues and friends who are biomedical scientists decided (probably for reasons I don't wish to know) to specialise in parasitology. I assume they thought of careers filled with gnathostomiasis, N. fowleri cases, maybe even lymph filariasis, and some malaria for a little relaxation.
In truth they spend their days receiving stool samples and tapes.
I find this hilarious.
I ship them!
Sound the fog horn! 😁
bed bugs don't necessarily live in your bed, they will live in any small hall in the wall, the floor, etc.
and generally other than the itching bites they are harmless
Another great video ed hope, lizzie comes back on your channel soon ☺
In terms of health, bedbugs are mostly just annoying. The problem with bedbugs is that once you have them in your house they can be almost impossible to get rid of.
How do u not have more subs you’re fantastic
Hey Doc. Have you seen the TV show "Critical". I think that should be your next one to watch. I've only seen the first episode, but it doesn't seem that realistic so far. It's very graphic though (which is fun) and very dramatic.
Chase and Masters
Dr Lizzie's earings....omg! lovely!
Thanks for doing another one I always Google things that my doctor says to me and still can't understand it so my Google is full of medical questions 😂😂😂
One thing I think that really sucks about irritable bowel disease and inflammatory bowel disease is that it is hard to get a diagnoses. Like for example, myself. I have been battling bowel disease since I was 15. And I have lost count how many times I've been in hospital. No doctor or specialist can give me a diagnoses. If I had to guess I would say that I have inflammatory bowel disease Crones to be more precise. As I have every single symptom of this disease, all except one. Which to a lot of doctor's is a deal breaker. I don't have weight loss, and because of this I have been told that it is not Crones disease. And I have constant bleeding from the bowel so doctors say I can't have IBS. Although they all agree that I am extremely sick no one can give me a diagnoses. I have been ordered to go into ER every time I have either an attack or experiencing bleeding, however I don't do it. Why? because it is a waist of my time, as they keep me in there for a few hours and then send me home. I have given up. I am the queen of infection and I am supposed to be on antibiotics for the rest of my life, but once again I do not. I don't want to get immune to the drug, while the infections are minor my body can handle the constant infection, but if that infection gets severe then I need to not have immunity to antibiotics. I would love to have a doctor with balls, a doctor that is willing to try anything to get me better. I would like to be put on the medication for Crones disease and see whether there is any improvement in my symptoms, as the way I am living is no way to live. I'm in pain when I stand or sit all the time, my stomach during an attack feels like that my entire gut is on fire, I want the boils to stop, I want my chronic anal fistula disease to stop, I want my bowels to stop leaking and bleeding. I want my life back. Before history repeats itself. As the last time that doctor after doctor after doctor told me that nothing was wrong with me and I was healthy. I had to bleed for an entire day just to get a doctor to have a look at the problem and when he learned what was causing it he gave me a letter and told me to go strait to the ER and hand them the note as I was extremely sick and the hospital was the best place for me. With the flu, I had the flu once and I tell ya I should have been admitted to the hospital, because it lasted for over a month, I couldn't eat or drink as I brought it back up, I couldn't sleep because every time I did I began to choke and I was forced awake, I couldn't walk to far, I had tremendous difficulties in breathing. This lasted a whole month and all my doctor did was put me on a puffer. The human body can't survive without water for 3 days, and the body can't survive without food for 3 weeks. I somehow did, don't ask me how, but I did. As I was certainly nill by mouth for just over a month, the doctors should have sent me to the hospital. My body is weird it functions weird. Like the time I hemoridge according to the surgeon I should be unconscious due to the loss of blood, and yet I was fully alert. That baffled him, he was complaining about it to the ER doctor.
Funniest I heard as a student: "how do I know if I have a carotid sinus?" This was a genuine question, and oddly not only from one person.
The internet has a lot to answer for.
Lol. Even though my mattress isn’t even 6 months old I now have anxiety about bed bugs
IBS sucks. I had to change my diet for years. Best thing is, I lost about 40 pounds and the IBS went away. Being overweight really caused the issue for me.
someones out here like man im constantly tired and pee a lot, wait my butt itches, I ALSO HAVE ANXIETY and so on with all your questions. now thinks their life is over
Is Dr. Lizzie single? She's amazing! Great video!
For bed bugs, you have to be aware of Chagas disease (from ticks), at least on Latin America
An updated way to talk about suicide in mental health is saying 'completed suicide' instead of 'committing' suicide. Just because of the historical context around the term 'committing' in relation too suicide. I think the idea also is to reduce connotations of selfishness and crime around suicide, which detract from the suffering of the persons involved, (also ripple affect). Sometimes I wonder if changing that term has much impact, but as it stands in my country suicide rates are sky high and climbing! So I can see why it's worth a try :)
Great video :)
Genuinely you two make a cute couple, even if you are/aren't a real couple, so give the audience what we want please
1:32 oh boy, both of those are how I’ve been living like for the past few months
I am a major hypochondriac and this video has given me anxiety
omg lizzie..you almost looked like that one actress in House tv show
"Masters"?
I haven't watched it yet, but Dr Lizzie is on it so I know it's going to be a good episode. 😜
having worms is absolutely terrible I had them when I was a kid and they got so bad I literally had days without sleep because of how bad it itched.
Please tell me you guys are getting married! 🙂
I drink a lot of water and pee alot but I don't feel tired.
You look a lot like Benedict Cumberbatch when you look to the side
That's what I said! ;D*
Mrs Lizzie Hope???? If neither of you are already married and is single..... Make it happen. You look adorable together. But only if you are NOT yet married!!!!
I know me Who are you? Definitely
I know different people who are on 1. a gluten free diet 2. a low FODMAP (fermentable mono-, oligo- and disaccharides and polyols) diet and 3. a low oxalate diet.
Don't feel bad about scabies ;) My whole family got them when we were young because another family in our school (who was unfortunately quite poor and didn't take the best care of themselves) had children in the same class as each of my siblings and me. It was awfullllllll.
You look like pair of sloths;d very very smart sloths. I adore it!!!
Hemoriods can also happen if your liver is ill and the vena porta is having trouble with the change in venal blood pressure.
It may be the color of the wall or perhaps your shirt or something, but I never noticed how lovely your eyes are until now :)
I love that this a series now 😊
When I have anxiety I generally feel *"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH"* inside my head, but from someone else's perspective it looks like: ._.
No dislikes. LOVE IT!
Dr. Hope: is a doctor
Also Dr. Hope: wHy wOUlD yOu pUt blOoD vEssEls dOwN tHeRE!?
''This is going to hurt'' is a good book
I love them together
I wish I knew the signs for diabetes, I ended up in the hospital for a week. I really wish that they taught that (among other health things) in school.
I think perhaps "thread worms" are what we call "pin worms" in the U.S.
