the over-producing lady is so sweet for donating all of her milk. what a way to make your disability work for you. that’s amazing. she’s very kind, especially in today’s age! it must be very painful for her either way and her choosing to donate milk and continue to do so is such a feat that i think most people wouldn’t be able to do. i hope she gets her condition under control or removed, because she deserves to rest after donating so much!!
I've seen some interviews with her, the process is so complicated making sure all the hygiene standards are met, she spends pretty much all her time pumping processing and organizing the milk. I really hope she can get some relief, she must be so worn out!
I hope eventually she can somehow stop. I'm not entirely sure what causes that condition, but I hope somehow it can go away. She really seems like an amazing person Maybe she ended up getting that double mastectomy?
Eu fiquei pensando na qualidade desse leite. É possível uma pessoa produzir aquela quantidade de leite sem ficar desnutrida e o leite ser quase somente água e os nutrientes da mãe... não faz sentido
She might single-handedly put Nestle out of business and stop their exploitation of African mothers. lol (Nestle did a big propaganda campaign to sell more baby formula to new mothers in Africa leading to a huge nutrition deficit and many deaths as they were advised to only use formula.)
@@michaeld4861 And I read somewhere that they started the campaign by donating tons of formula which had been condemned, and was supposed to be destroyed. Although I think that may have been India.
I have a severe Anaphylaxic reaction to capsaicin. I am Hispanic & grew up eating spicy foods but as I hit my mid to late 20's? It would hurt & give me severe acid reflux but not just any old pain & acid relux. It felt like my insides were melting & my esophagus was eroding away. I eventually just had to cut all peppers, things w/ any peppers in them, and I could only eat Bell Peppers. Fast forward a couple of years and I get hospitalized for complications again from my Behcet's Disease. I was in severe pain and it wad about a hour from my next pain pump dose. The nurses were so great & so caring. After not being able to get a hold of a doctor? They said they could try Capsaicin Cream. I told desperately them I would try anything. They warned me it would burn but it just kept getting hotter. Like a heating pad to a red hot iron feeling alllll over my abdomen. I kept thinking it must be normal & I'm just being a baby but it eventually got so bad that I couldn't hide the discomfort & start crying, ripping at my gown. I finally get it off to see most of my skin across my abdomen looked melted away, peeling back, and bleeding. Then my throat started get poofy & gunky. After a good barrage of IV meds? I was feeling okay enough to communicate w/ the doctor. I told him why I had to stop eating peppers (the horrific sulfuric acid burn from mouth alllllll the way through the other end. Leaving unable to move, curled over in pain. Plus, the acid reflux that would leave it hard to talk.) But that I COULD eat bell peppers. Bell peppers do not have Capsaicin in them. Well - a very long story, short? 😅 Listen to your body, it often knows more than you do. 😆👏😍💞
Im sleep deprived all the time and probably have insomnia.. it doesnt even make sense bc its summer holiday which means a ton of time for me to sleep 😭

I'm so happy where I am now.
The rest of Roy C.

It's also reported that people started shunning and avoiding him out of fear it was somehow contagious or dangerous to be around him. He reportedly took his own life at the age of 71 by gunshot, next to his wife, who allegedly did not notice for SEVERAL HOURS.

My girlfriend has eds and pots too. She was super lucky and found out at 18 but her mom only found out she had it in her 40s. My girlfriend's mom has passed both to a lot of kids too. I can only imagine what it must be like. I'm thankful I can help my girlfriend with stuff like when she has passed out and I had to give her water.

When my eldest was only a year old, we were in the chemist waiting for a script and he did a burp so loud that the staff at the front of the store though someone was vomiting and came running with cleaning equipment. As a father it was my proudest moment so far.
It’s interesting how you mentioned EDS, my son has it and it was a long time before getting a diagnosis. Neurological and genetic studies had to be done before getting the correct diagnosis.
You've done a detailed analysis of these unique world records. Your commentary on the medical aspects provides additional context, making it more informative. Good work.
I just wanna say thank you for recognizing that a lot of doctors don’t do a good job at diagnosing it because as someone who has dealt with chronic pain for most of there life and has only recently been diagnosed I think there needs to be more awareness of this condition. There are times that I have felt like I was just never going to figure out was going on but a couple years ago I got a doctor that actually cared and listened and was able to diagnose me and I am forever grateful for that. I now feel like I can live my life and do most of the things I want.
I would love to see doctor Mike review some of the unexplained medical mysteries like spontaneous combustion and the case off Gloria Ramirez or the toxic woman.
I have hyper lactation syndrome, it sucked but it was amazing at the same time. I donated to so many moms in need and that alone spurred me on to keep going for as long as I did. It took me 8 months to fully stop my production and 2 infections but I was able to successfully stop.
I have a prolactinoma, but didn't get significant lactation syndrome. Just a bit of discharge if I'm not on Bromocriptine. Without it, I also didn't menstrate. It's been years, and the last MRI showed my edonma had shrunk to just 1mm in size. This prompted my MD to try taking me off Bromocriptine, but I experienced night terrors without it. As someone who never remebers their dreams, the nightmares were quite jarring, to wake up screaming and covered in sweat. Im curious if anyone else has experienced this, as my MD states nightmares are not a side effect of withdrawal from this medication, and I feel he doesn't believe me. It's been a struggle having him continue to prescribe the medication for me, or work with me to come up with a way to ween off it or look into a way to get off the medication without the nightmares.
I'm not just pushing benzos but I'm a psychologist and you could benefit from something like a 2mg xanax to get you to relax and go to sleep. It would be strong enough to serve the right purpose at the right time
as someone previously diagnosed with a prolactinoma, thank you for mentioning that breast milk production can happen to any woman regardless of whether they've been pregnant. Not enough people know this because it's so rare
As a hEDS survivor and thriver I appreciate that you talk about EDS celiac diagnosed @30 PCOS, and anemia @ 32 hEDS, MCAS, Vasovagal syncope @ 36 Narcolepsy with cataplexy, Periodical limb movement syndrome, @ 40 (Also discovered that i was a victim of EXTREAM abuse and neglect leading to more tests) ASD, ADHD, CPTSD, MDD, accute anxiety disorder with panic disorder, social anxiety disorder with agoraphobia, bullous pemphigoid, Hashimoto's, hyperacusis, partial deviatedseptum, missing PCOM @ 41 I'm now 42 and have been fighting for a williams syndrome genetic test scheduled for April at the age of 43. All it took was a Dr. Who listened. ❤bless you sir! 🙏
My little brother was born at 24 weeks and the doctors thought he was dead so they covered him up with a blanket but one of the nurses saw his little hand move and they did a bunch of stuff with him and he went to another hospital for 187 days but I’m so lucky he’s alive but one side affect is that he’s really short Thank you lord
Thank you for talking about EDS! Everyone in the community appreciates it, I'm sure. I've been diagnosed since 2014. Always feels good to hear the condition talked about.
For a bit of insight for the lactation lady, in the UK for small amounts of lactation caused by high levels of prolactin (when they cant diagnose a prolactinoma) they sometimes use a medicine called cabergoline
Hi Dr. Mike Thank you for such an interesting video. My grandfather is also 90 years old and he is a body builder too. He won the Mr. India award when he was young. Now, as a 90 year old, he is healthier than most adults. He gets invited to numerous TV shows nowadays. He still follows a strict fitness routine and what's more interesting is that he is a vegetarian now.
I was diagnosed with hEDS (EDS runs in the family) but then saw another doctor and he said "Well I don't know much about hEDS, maybe you're just a bit flexible?" (his words). So glad to hear some shoutout on EDS.
@@frenchieoverlord5159 I don't want to overexplain because you probably already know this but you REALLY should do exercises that makes you unable to do those movements. Remember, a lot of people with EDS/hEDS end up in wheelchairs before they turn 40.
Seeing the woman who was pumping breast milk in her car reminds me of a funny story. My niece was driving from Minnesota to Michigan with her 4 month old daughter. She was pumping breast milk as she was driving. A cop pulled her over thinking she was using her phone and she had to show him what she was doing. He told her that he would follow her to the next rest stop so she could pump with out having to drive and he would stay with her until she was done so, she would be safe. He stayed with her until she was done pumping and feeding her daughter. He was so kind to her.
I’m so glad Dr. Mike exists, I have EIB and my doctor never mentioned that I could use my inhaler BEFORE I work out. They just told me to keep it on me at all times and use it if my breathing starts getting difficult, but it always makes me nervous to wait for the dosing when it’s so consistent in flaring during exercise. Definitely a conversation I’m going to have with my provider to see if dosing before would be a good option for me!
I've always heard use your rescue inhaler either 20 or even 30 minutes before exercise. Heck, maybe it's 15 minutes. Ha ha. Might need to check with my pulmonologist too!
I've been told by my doctor to use my inhaler 20 minutes before exercising. Also to remember when doing any strenuous activities like moving boxes, chasing a toddler, and before going out in low temperatures. It does help me.
I literally can’t get a diagnosis because I just get told I ‘read too much’ but literally have it. No chance I don’t - I tell my husband all the time is a condition of resilience I’ll just wait until it’s my turn lmao. Hope it’s sooner than 17 years but I feel you bro it’s wild how clueless they can be
Thank you Dr. Mike for taking time out of your day (and bears) to teach us about what can be good and bad for physical, and mental health. Just putting it out there that we appreciate you for everything you do. Thank you!
Thanks SOOOOO MUCH, Dr. Mike, for mentioning Ehlers-Danlos syndrome!!! I was diagnosed in 1997 myself, OMG, it just dawned on me, I think it was TODAY in 1997 (Oct. 7th) that I got my diagnosis, at 32 yrs of age!!! Finally I could understand some of the really odd things that my body did all the time etc… Getting a diagnosis when you have EDS is soooo important, both for being able to handle it the best you can and for those with Vascular EDS also in order to prevent life threatening situations from happening!!! ❤💛❤💛❤
Hi Dr. Mike, been a supporter for a while now and I just wanna say that your contents have been so educating and helpful. I actually aced my biology exam last year because of something i heard u say on one of ur vids, so props to you and keep creating contents like this and educate people like me to think like doctors.
I have eds and it was Misdiagnosed do I actually do appreciate that you brought up that it is so easily brushed aside even from a doctors stand point!!
Had a lil bit of a breakdown in march 2020 and didn’t sleep for a record 18 days. I was a zombie, hallucinating, experiencing micro sleep out of necessity but having nightmares within the micro sleep, no depth perception, incredibly mentally disorganized. Unfortunately was having a bit of a psychotic break but was too afraid to seek help due to Covid. My poor psychiatrist was desperately trying to convince me to come inpatient but I knew exactly what to say to avoid a mandatory inpatient visit. Looking back I’m surprised I survived that ordeal. Broke the insomnia with a heavy dose of mirtzapine and have been okay since! Definitely get very anxious during times of minor insomnia tho.
Oh that poor woman that can’t stop lactating! I don’t know if I would want to live with that illness. I pumped so much for my twins that I gave up breastfeeding entirely for my 3rd because of the pain. That is a disability, I hope she’s being compensated well for it. It’s great for all the mothers getting her donated milk but wow I really feel for her.
I had to replay it when you were talking about EDS, not only because I completely agree, it's a hard condition to manage, my dad and my sibling both have it and it causes such an amount of pain, but also because I was thrown off by you swearing lol
I just love how they explain everything to us so we can understand them , and they make it fun so we don't get bored or distracted ( which happens to me very often) plus they are having fun to which is amazing. So thank you! You're amazing guys!
Thank you for explaining EIB! I was recently told that I probably have it and am going through the process of getting diagnosed so I can have an inhaler to use (everything else has been ruled out). I commented on one of your other videos about my journey and how my difficulties have affected my relationship with physical activity throughout my life, and other people commented that I "made it up" or was "making excuses". I still work out, but it's been really frustrating not seeing any improvement in my cardio endurance because my chest gets really tight and I start to feel awful, and only feel better by slowing down or taking a short break.
I have the same issue. But the inhalers caused me to have severe headaches that I suffer from 12yrs later. After the 1st inhaler the headaches began and when MRI's were done afterwards a pineal glad cyst was discovered which was not there b4. When they thought it was panic attacks a small does of xanax helped. Please avoid those inhalers if u can!
I've never heard of EIB before and now I'm wondering if I have it 🤔 I've always struggled with sports that involve running because it would feel like my lungs were burning and it was difficult to breathe especially with all the mucus that would fill my throat. I kinda just thought this is what everyone experiences when they run? I'm gonna be so mad if there is a legitimate reason I always sucked at sports day and that one cross country competition I went to but had to drop out of a couple minutes in because my chest hurt so bad 😭defo going to talk to my doctor about this
@@frenchieoverlord5159 Just because the inhalers caused a rare disorder / issue with you doesn't mean you should warn others off an otherwise safe medication / treatment for our condition.
I've been suspected to have exercise/stress induced asthma (I've never been officially diagnosed, but have had plenty of asthma symptoms while exercising or during anxiety attacks), and my parents put me in martial arts from a young age. I think it did me good, in spite of the attacks. I don't do martial arts anymore but it was a useful experience.
I have the same. I played softball, volleyball, and ran track. But I had to stop cuz everytime since childhood my chest would tighten up and I couldn't take a deep breath. 1st they assumed panic attacks and gave me xanax (which helped) then they gave me an inhaler which caused me massive headaches that I still suffer from. I do not recommend the inhalers. DO NOT use the albuterol (I believe) ones!
@@frenchieoverlord5159 Yet again I have to tell you: Just because the inhalers caused a rare disorder / issue with you doesn't mean you should warn others off an otherwise safe medication / treatment for our condition.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Pain areas: in the joints or muscles Also common: bleeding, double jointed, easy bruising, heart murmur, joint dislocation, muscle weakness, physical deformity, poor wound healing, or wrinkles... U can have it at any age it's genetic
Transcranial Direct Stimulation (aka "thinking caps") has been proven to aid in training and motor skills. Could a direct current using transcranial stimulation to the pituitary gland result in additional growth?
One of your last points. I had some breathing/asthma issues as a child. Instead stopping me doing things, because both parents are runners, they made me do the 5-10 minute run to school
The guy at 3:20 has the same genetic condition I do. It’s called Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia and the reason why he (and I) can do this trick is because we either have no teeth altogether or are missing some teeth. Our teeth are also misshapen and a lot of times people don’t have any adult teeth. It also affects the hair (both amount and texture), skin, nails, and a lack of sweat glands meaning we overheat really easily.
I honestly appreciate when doctors say they don’t know things. It may seem weird but I appreciate when doctors say they don’t know but working hard to understand. Doctors and medical professionals are human and as an EMS worker the human body is very complicated and weird. If someone seems to “understand” everything about the body I would be a skeptical.
My sister has an incompetent cervix and got pregnant with twins they ivf. She lost her first at 24.5wks, had the twins at 26.5wks and were 1.9&1.6lbs. Thought they weren’t going to make it and they did! She went on to have two more successful pregnancies. All four were girls
Hi do u think about doing a video of the neurological disorder called press because my mum has it and doctors can't tell tell us much because it's rare
So glad EDS was mentioned! I have the disease and its definitely hard to live with. You should do a video on EDS to help spread awareness. Very misunderstood condition.
I love it when Dr. Mike swears. It somehow adds to how articulate he is.
Omg😂 so true

You've done a detailed analysis of these unique world records. Your commentary on the medical aspects provides additional context, making it more informative. Good work.
Does any one else absolutely adore Dr Mike? He is such an inspirational person. He makes learning fun! Love the vid
Actually, I’m non-binary
@@Mster_J ok
@@Mster_Jbruh 🤣
Doctor Mike keep up the good work love the vids love from Australia
Oh YES I very well ADORE DR. Mikhail❤🥰
I just wanna say thank you for recognizing that a lot of doctors don’t do a good job at diagnosing it because as someone who has dealt with chronic pain for most of there life and has only recently been diagnosed I think there needs to be more awareness of this condition. There are times that I have felt like I was just never going to figure out was going on but a couple years ago I got a doctor that actually cared and listened and was able to diagnose me and I am forever grateful for that. I now feel like I can live my life and do most of the things I want.
honestly i never heard doctor mike swear before but i got proven wrong 3:53
Thanks for your best showed, Dr. Mike. They are amazing that the world want to watch.
Title: Doctors can't explain this
Dr. Mike: *explains everything*
Because he is like a book of knowledge ☺
holy cow is that niko oneshot
yes!!!@@ihavenoideaforayoutubename4046
Well because he is built different to good for us😊
Yeah ikr he's just so smart🤪
I would love to see doctor Mike review some of the unexplained medical mysteries like spontaneous combustion and the case off Gloria Ramirez or the toxic woman.
It's always wild to me what the human body can be capable of in general
0:17 was that the bentist!!!
I broke my arm yesterday (horse riding accident) and your videos really cheer me up Doctor Mike, Thankyou :)
I have hyper lactation syndrome, it sucked but it was amazing at the same time. I donated to so many moms in need and that alone spurred me on to keep going for as long as I did. It took me 8 months to fully stop my production and 2 infections but I was able to successfully stop.
I have a prolactinoma, but didn't get significant lactation syndrome. Just a bit of discharge if I'm not on Bromocriptine. Without it, I also didn't menstrate. It's been years, and the last MRI showed my edonma had shrunk to just 1mm in size. This prompted my MD to try taking me off Bromocriptine, but I experienced night terrors without it. As someone who never remebers their dreams, the nightmares were quite jarring, to wake up screaming and covered in sweat. Im curious if anyone else has experienced this, as my MD states nightmares are not a side effect of withdrawal from this medication, and I feel he doesn't believe me. It's been a struggle having him continue to prescribe the medication for me, or work with me to come up with a way to ween off it or look into a way to get off the medication without the nightmares.
Maybe he would be open to prescribing a sleeping aid for a while you’re weaning off of it? I’m not sure if sleeping aids would help…
I'm not just pushing benzos but I'm a psychologist and you could benefit from something like a 2mg xanax to get you to relax and go to sleep. It would be strong enough to serve the right purpose at the right time
These clips are so unhinged 👀🥲 but its a delight to watch Dr Mike explaining them with such solemnity
as someone previously diagnosed with a prolactinoma, thank you for mentioning that breast milk production can happen to any woman regardless of whether they've been pregnant. Not enough people know this because it's so rare
2:35 :That mozzarella thing made you nauseous………bruh, I just ate dinner!

All it took was a Dr. Who listened. ❤bless you sir! 🙏
I've had a double mastectomy, recovery was uncomfortable but didn't even experience any pain. I hope she can get treatment if she wants it.
are we all going to pretend like Doctor Mike didnt just say "shitty"
That caught me off guard
Fr, I was like “oh..he didn’t bleep it”
Same!! I had to replay it to make sure I heard it right!!
When ?
@@user-ok4vy9kk3l 3:54 ish
Okay but the sounds of that lady eating mozzarella ..made me nauseous too 😭
What was even worse is that I was eating dinner when I saw that…….
I mean I like mozzarella but not that much
My little brother was born at 24 weeks and the doctors thought he was dead so they covered him up with a blanket but one of the nurses saw his little hand move and they did a bunch of stuff with him and he went to another hospital for 187 days but I’m so lucky he’s alive but one side affect is that he’s really short
Thank you lord
No person should be allowed to be so smart, so likeable and so good looking. Why does Dr. Mike get all three and I don't even get one?
You know it’s bad when not even a doctor can explain it.
Ok (start chain)
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
Thank you for talking about EDS! Everyone in the community appreciates it, I'm sure. I've been diagnosed since 2014. Always feels good to hear the condition talked about.
For a bit of insight for the lactation lady, in the UK for small amounts of lactation caused by high levels of prolactin (when they cant diagnose a prolactinoma) they sometimes use a medicine called cabergoline
And to induce lactation, they use Domperidone. I used it when I adopted my newborn daughter.
I’ve got metal plates and screw in my TMJ joints plus in C5-C6, lower back and R hip! Going to have to have it in my L hip and knee pain💖💕
Hi Dr. Mike
Thank you for such an interesting video.
My grandfather is also 90 years old and he is a body builder too. He won the Mr. India award when he was young. Now, as a 90 year old, he is healthier than most adults. He gets invited to numerous TV shows nowadays. He still follows a strict fitness routine and what's more interesting is that he is a vegetarian now.
I was diagnosed with hEDS (EDS runs in the family) but then saw another doctor and he said "Well I don't know much about hEDS, maybe you're just a bit flexible?" (his words). So glad to hear some shoutout on EDS.
I told my doctor that even my TEETH are flexible and that made him realise something more was going on than "just being flexible" 😂
@@astralb.2647mine just removed the diagnosis >;/
My family always just told me I was "double jointed". But the ways I can bend my body r disturbing sometimes 😂
@@frenchieoverlord5159 I don't want to overexplain because you probably already know this but you REALLY should do exercises that makes you unable to do those movements. Remember, a lot of people with EDS/hEDS end up in wheelchairs before they turn 40.
What i'm learning is, there's a Guinness Record for literally anything lol.
so true lol
Even for the person who breaks the most records.
seems like it huh lol
I'm really grateful for this channel. I've learned so much over the years.
doctor mike, lemee tell u sum, your such a great person, you make good videos. thanks you.
Seeing the woman who was pumping breast milk in her car reminds me of a funny story. My niece was driving from Minnesota to Michigan with her 4 month old daughter. She was pumping breast milk as she was driving. A cop pulled her over thinking she was using her phone and she had to show him what she was doing. He told her that he would follow her to the next rest stop so she could pump with out having to drive and he would stay with her until she was done so, she would be safe. He stayed with her until she was done pumping and feeding her daughter. He was so kind to her.
That's so sweet!
what a pervert
I’m so glad Dr. Mike exists, I have EIB and my doctor never mentioned that I could use my inhaler BEFORE I work out. They just told me to keep it on me at all times and use it if my breathing starts getting difficult, but it always makes me nervous to wait for the dosing when it’s so consistent in flaring during exercise. Definitely a conversation I’m going to have with my provider to see if dosing before would be a good option for me!
I've always heard use your rescue inhaler either 20 or even 30 minutes before exercise. Heck, maybe it's 15 minutes. Ha ha. Might need to check with my pulmonologist too!
After using inhalers I developed severe headaches that I still suffer from 12yrs later
I've been told by my doctor to use my inhaler 20 minutes before exercising. Also to remember when doing any strenuous activities like moving boxes, chasing a toddler, and before going out in low temperatures. It does help me.
Thank you, Mike! It took 17 years to Dx my EDS after my onset of symptoms. It’s sucks. And I still get ignored a lot.
I literally can’t get a diagnosis because I just get told I ‘read too much’ but literally have it. No chance I don’t - I tell my husband all the time is a condition of resilience I’ll just wait until it’s my turn lmao. Hope it’s sooner than 17 years but I feel you bro it’s wild how clueless they can be
@@highdefinition90srooting for you! It’s a hard road!
i love your channel Dr mike this teaches me so much
3:07 try it
You can do it
The elderly man who still works out, bless him. That it amazing.
Mozzarella button here
I’m more of a chedder
I'm more of a swiss cheese
Personally i like emmental
What about CHocolate
I prefer parmesan
Thank you Dr. Mike for taking time out of your day (and bears) to teach us about what can be good and bad for physical, and mental health. Just putting it out there that we appreciate you for everything you do. Thank you!
@06:40 god bless her though for donating, i regret only getting 6weeks for my baby. made me so sad. her making this much is incredible
Damn is that why a lot of people come out saying why is the milk goddamn pink and lumpy and freaking taste weird
Thanks SOOOOO MUCH, Dr. Mike, for mentioning Ehlers-Danlos syndrome!!! I was diagnosed in 1997 myself, OMG, it just dawned on me, I think it was TODAY in 1997 (Oct. 7th) that I got my diagnosis, at 32 yrs of age!!! Finally I could understand some of the really odd things that my body did all the time etc… Getting a diagnosis when you have EDS is soooo important, both for being able to handle it the best you can and for those with Vascular EDS also in order to prevent life threatening situations from happening!!! ❤💛❤💛❤
Hi Dr. Mike, been a supporter for a while now and I just wanna say that your contents have been so educating and helpful. I actually aced my biology exam last year because of something i heard u say on one of ur vids, so props to you and keep creating contents like this and educate people like me to think like doctors.
I have eds and it was Misdiagnosed do I actually do appreciate that you brought up that it is so easily brushed aside even from a doctors stand point!!
2:44 The Assessor is so stoic, it's great.
Had a lil bit of a breakdown in march 2020 and didn’t sleep for a record 18 days. I was a zombie, hallucinating, experiencing micro sleep out of necessity but having nightmares within the micro sleep, no depth perception, incredibly mentally disorganized. Unfortunately was having a bit of a psychotic break but was too afraid to seek help due to Covid. My poor psychiatrist was desperately trying to convince me to come inpatient but I knew exactly what to say to avoid a mandatory inpatient visit. Looking back I’m surprised I survived that ordeal. Broke the insomnia with a heavy dose of mirtzapine and have been okay since! Definitely get very anxious during times of minor insomnia tho.
The enjoyment of watching this is Dr. Mikes reactions.
3:54 does Dr. Mike ever cuss?
probably not considering he is typically a family-friendly channel
Well now he did I guess
Yes but they were censored in the past I'm pretty sure
@@S0L3N01Dyea most of the time when he does it gets censored but in this case it didn’t get censored
He cursed he never curses
5:38: she won't have any issues at the dentist
Oh that poor woman that can’t stop lactating! I don’t know if I would want to live with that illness. I pumped so much for my twins that I gave up breastfeeding entirely for my 3rd because of the pain. That is a disability, I hope she’s being compensated well for it. It’s great for all the mothers getting her donated milk but wow I really feel for her.
6:30 Homelander must love that
I had to replay it when you were talking about EDS, not only because I completely agree, it's a hard condition to manage, my dad and my sibling both have it and it causes such an amount of pain, but also because I was thrown off by you swearing lol
I don't think I've ever heard Doctor Mike swear before! I like it.
I just love how they explain everything to us so we can understand them , and they make it fun so we don't get bored or distracted ( which happens to me very often) plus they are having fun to which is amazing. So thank you! You're amazing guys!
That mozzarella needs some kind of trigger warning LOL
Jim is my new spirit animal.
I love this channel because children can enjoy most of his videos while adults have even more fun
Thank you for explaining EIB! I was recently told that I probably have it and am going through the process of getting diagnosed so I can have an inhaler to use (everything else has been ruled out). I commented on one of your other videos about my journey and how my difficulties have affected my relationship with physical activity throughout my life, and other people commented that I "made it up" or was "making excuses". I still work out, but it's been really frustrating not seeing any improvement in my cardio endurance because my chest gets really tight and I start to feel awful, and only feel better by slowing down or taking a short break.
I have the same issue. But the inhalers caused me to have severe headaches that I suffer from 12yrs later. After the 1st inhaler the headaches began and when MRI's were done afterwards a pineal glad cyst was discovered which was not there b4. When they thought it was panic attacks a small does of xanax helped. Please avoid those inhalers if u can!
I've never heard of EIB before and now I'm wondering if I have it 🤔 I've always struggled with sports that involve running because it would feel like my lungs were burning and it was difficult to breathe especially with all the mucus that would fill my throat. I kinda just thought this is what everyone experiences when they run?
I'm gonna be so mad if there is a legitimate reason I always sucked at sports day and that one cross country competition I went to but had to drop out of a couple minutes in because my chest hurt so bad 😭defo going to talk to my doctor about this
@@frenchieoverlord5159 Just because the inhalers caused a rare disorder / issue with you doesn't mean you should warn others off an otherwise safe medication / treatment for our condition.
I always love when EDS is brought up on here, thank you for always spreading awareness for it!
I've been suspected to have exercise/stress induced asthma (I've never been officially diagnosed, but have had plenty of asthma symptoms while exercising or during anxiety attacks), and my parents put me in martial arts from a young age. I think it did me good, in spite of the attacks. I don't do martial arts anymore but it was a useful experience.
I have the same. I played softball, volleyball, and ran track. But I had to stop cuz everytime since childhood my chest would tighten up and I couldn't take a deep breath. 1st they assumed panic attacks and gave me xanax (which helped) then they gave me an inhaler which caused me massive headaches that I still suffer from. I do not recommend the inhalers. DO NOT use the albuterol (I believe) ones!
@@frenchieoverlord5159 Yet again I have to tell you: Just because the inhalers caused a rare disorder / issue with you doesn't mean you should warn others off an otherwise safe medication / treatment for our condition.
my entire family has EDS it sucks and can hurt mentally and physically
What is EDS?
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Pain areas: in the joints or muscles
Also common: bleeding, double jointed, easy bruising, heart murmur, joint dislocation, muscle weakness, physical deformity, poor wound healing, or wrinkles... U can have it at any age it's genetic
Those are just a few of the "symptoms"
Transcranial Direct Stimulation (aka "thinking caps") has been proven to aid in training and motor skills. Could a direct current using transcranial stimulation to the pituitary gland result in additional growth?
Hearing dr Mike say “shitty” with that much spice startled me a little😂
One of your last points. I had some breathing/asthma issues as a child. Instead stopping me doing things, because both parents are runners, they made me do the 5-10 minute run to school
The guy at 3:20 has the same genetic condition I do. It’s called Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia and the reason why he (and I) can do this trick is because we either have no teeth altogether or are missing some teeth. Our teeth are also misshapen and a lot of times people don’t have any adult teeth. It also affects the hair (both amount and texture), skin, nails, and a lack of sweat glands meaning we overheat really easily.
I thought he was just hungry and he wanted to eat
I can’t imagine how angry I’d be if I didn’t sleep for that long😂
Omg Mike I knew you were not joking about being nauseous with that one video bc I was literally holding back starting to gag from immediate nausea too
This was a fun video. The 90 year old body builder is honestly really inspiring! ❤ Also the shortest body builder is inspiring too!
"Have good day ❤😍🌹"
I honestly appreciate when doctors say they don’t know things. It may seem weird but I appreciate when doctors say they don’t know but working hard to understand. Doctors and medical professionals are human and as an EMS worker the human body is very complicated and weird. If someone seems to “understand” everything about the body I would be a skeptical.
@UnitTrace EMS (Emergency medical services) not neurology. I definitely do not know the answer to that 😂
I absolutely love your videos
EDSer here. Thank you for bringing it attention!
3:43 omg I've never heard him cuss lol 😂
same
😮😮😮😮
As someone with EDS, I can confirm that it took decades to finally get diagnosed and figure out what the heck was going on…
Super unfortunate to that it took such a long time to get that figured out!
For me too. I was 32 when I got my diagnosis!
My sister has an incompetent cervix and got pregnant with twins they ivf. She lost her first at 24.5wks, had the twins at 26.5wks and were 1.9&1.6lbs. Thought they weren’t going to make it and they did! She went on to have two more successful pregnancies. All four were girls
Hi do u think about doing a video of the neurological disorder called press because my mum has it and doctors can't tell tell us much because it's rare
So glad EDS was mentioned! I have the disease and its definitely hard to live with. You should do a video on EDS to help spread awareness. Very misunderstood condition.
Mike, you absolutely should try the record! You got nauseous watching someone else eat it,I would like to see how you react eating it yourself.😊
Why isn't this top comment?!! GOGOGOGO!
