Has anyone who's been vaccinated had a headache (not a migraine) that just seems to linger? I'm talking about something on the pain scale of like a 6 out of 10 but basically stays and is not necessarily in any one spot. (regular pain killers, ibuprofen, aspirin etc don't do much to alleviate the constant headache)
I was reading about "Cavernous sinus thrombosis" ...which of course going on the internet is frightening/futile but seeing some stories of young people with no pre-existing conditions have died and it seems vaccine related. Scary shit if this is what it is..
Hi! My case was reviewed by a neurosurgeon in combination with radiology/endocrinology, and their recommendation is to do a pituitary biopsy because I have an enlarged pituitary with a tiny pars intermedia cyst, and they think the left cavernous sinus/Meckle’s cave looks abnormal and over-enhancing. I may have a tumor according to radiology, but they aren’t concerned about that and say I don’t have the biochemical evidence yet to do surgery for Cushing’s. I’m miserable and have no answers to my symptoms, which include left sided facial numbness and pain.
I’d like to ask if anyone had a pituitary biopsy, and what would they generally show? Has anyone had an abnormal looking cavernous sinus? Would the biopsy damage the pituitary and make it more difficult to conduct surgery in the future? Couldn’t they just combine the biopsy and do surgery at the same time (maybe insurance issues)? Thank you for any advice!
I don't understand the rationale behind this, wouldn't anticoagulants worsen the hemmorhage?
Also, why is deep vein thrombosis common after intracranial hemmorhages? Is it due to long hospital stays, or is there some other underlying pathophysiological mechanism?
I'm a student and I'm curious -- when I'm planning a sagital axial and coronal for cavernous sinus, how do I know if I covered the cavernous sinus on my thins/small field of view? Where is the cavernous sinus?
I've been centering to anterior to the IAC, covering the pituatary. How high and low should I be covering on my axials?
The title says it all. Thank you for your help.
33F. I have mild chronic sinusitis for the past ~10 years.
About 2 months ago I woke up in the middle of the night with double vision and half my face numb. Went to the ER and the CT scan was normal so they sent me home saying I had a migraine.
All this time i have still had double vision. I have seen a neurologist who thinks it isn’t an emergency and who has scheduled me for a bunch of nerve tests (first two this Tuesday). I have had MRI with/without contrast of the brain- normal. I have a scheduled appointment with a neuro-ophthalmologist on Dec 6.
I have nerve pain that comes and goes in my temple, eye, and the corner of my jaw. I’m seeing Drs so I know I don’t have to post here, but honestly I’m really scared this vision problem is going to be permanent. My neuro mentioned something about nerve palsy. Is this reversible if that’s what it is? I have diploplia and generally my left eye feels like it has a shade in front of it. I’m getting depressed about this whole thing and don’t know what I’d do if this can’t be corrected.
I am also seeing an ENT who says my sinus problems are very mild and would not cause these symptoms.
Any thoughts?
Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
