I found my own cancer when doctors couldn't

When relentless rib pain had me yelping with every movement, I refused to accept the "negative" CT report. As a physical rehab professional, I requested my actual images and found what doctors missed: a black hole in my 8th rib, hidden in just 156 of 1300 images. Trust your body when something feels wrong. I had to fight the system and threaten regulatory action to get the bone scan that confirmed what I already knew—malignancy. After surgery to remove the rib and part of my chest wall, I'm currently NED (No Evidence of Disease). #HealthJourney #PatientAdvocate #TrustYourInstincts

Recognizing the Silent Signs of a Dying Spirit

I heard that when people have no sense of belonging or just don’t believe things will turn around for them, they start doing weird things. I’ve seen it in friends who suddenly withdraw, lose interest in things they once loved, or act out in ways that seem out of character. It’s heartbreaking how many people are affected by this quiet struggle. Why do so many feel this way, and what are the signs we should look out for? Let’s talk about it—share your thoughts or experiences below. #SpiritualAwakening #MentalHealthMatters #HealingJourney #Spirituality

Foods That Secretly Make You Smell Worse

Ever wonder why your deodorant isn’t cutting it? Turns out, what you eat could be the culprit! A dietitian spilled the tea: fish, spicy foods, and veggies like broccoli and cabbage can make body odor worse. But apples, leafy greens, yogurt, and green tea might actually help you smell fresher. Staying hydrated, sleeping well, and moving more also help. And, of course, don’t skip showers! Wild stat: 72% of men worry about their smell, but half don’t know how to fix it. Now you do! #Fitness #BodyOdor #DietTips

Anyone else frustrated with United Healthcare?

I’ve had such a tough time dealing with United Healthcare lately. Every time I call, I’m on hold forever and never get clear answers. It’s super stressful trying to get the coverage I need. Is it just me, or has anyone else had similar issues? #HealthInsurance #Frustrated #Health #BodyHealth

How Long Until I Feel Like Myself Again?

I wait too long to eat—again. My hands start to shake, vision goes fuzzy at the edges. I tell myself it’s just hunger, but it feels like punishment for not being better at this. I finally eat something. I count the minutes, waiting for the trembling to stop, for my head to clear. Sometimes it’s twenty minutes, sometimes it’s an hour. I never know if it’s the food or just relief that calms me down. I wonder if other people feel this way, or if their bodies forgive them faster. I wish I could trust mine to bounce back, instead of keeping score every time I mess up. #FoodGuilt #BodyCheckChronicles #NotJustAboutTheScale #Health #Diet

Almost poisoned myself foraging last week 😅

Fellow hunters, reality check time... Was on a 3-day hunt, ran low on food by day 2. Went to grab some berries for emergency rations and almost picked the wrong ones - waxy leaves saved me from a toxic mistake. Made me realize my foraging safety knowledge got rusty. 🍄 Golden rule: If you can't 100% ID it, don't eat it. Those "similar looking" mushrooms? They're not worth the ER visit when you're miles from help. 🌿 Red flags: Milky sap, umbrella flowers, waxy leaves = nope. Your gut feeling is usually right. 🏭 Location matters: Stay away from roadsides and industrial areas. Plants are like sponges for all that nasty stuff. Anyone else combining summer scouting with foraging? #hunting #foragingtips #huntingseasonprep #wildedibles

When Is It Time to Let Go?

At what point do you give up? I don’t have the energy to write this. You don’t care anyway. Thanks. Some days, it feels like I’m shouting into the void, hoping someone will hear me. The weight of trying, over and over, can be so heavy. Sometimes, I wonder if surrender is the only answer left. Have you ever felt like giving up was the only option?

Why Didn’t Anyone Warn Me?!

No one ever told me adulting would be this wild. Bills, laundry, and trying to eat healthy all at once? It’s a lot. Anyone else feel like they’re just figuring things out as they go? Share your best survival tips! #AdultingStruggles #Relatable #LifeLessons #Health #BodyHealth

Anyone Skip the ER for Hospital Admits?

Has anyone actually been admitted to the hospital without going through the ER lately? It feels like every time I hear about someone being admitted, it starts with a trip to the emergency room first. Is it even possible to get direct admission anymore, or is the ER just the new normal? Curious if anyone's had a different experience! #HospitalAdmission #HealthcareTalk #AskTheCommunity #Health #BodyHealth
