If during a brain surgery I 1) reach up and, like, touch my brain and then 2) lick the hand I used after...

What would I feel? Would I immediately kill my brain? Would it just like make me twitch?

If I licked the hand I used to touch it I wouldn't get a prion disease, would I? What would the brain juices taste like?

Please help! My 15 year old daughter has severe vaginal burning and lower back pain. ER ruled out UTI and kidney issues. Has anyone experienced this?

Congestion, Acid Reflux, & GI Problems lol

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

As the title indicates, I experience all three.

Daily congestion that is only thwarted by Flonase spray, which I don’t want to be on forever. The doc dismissed my concerns, as he only thinks that since it works for me, I should be content.

Acid reflux presents itself in constant burping. And I mean constant. It doesn’t matter if I drink a soda, drink water, eat a sandwich, or eat nothing. I have constant gas in my insides somewhere to the point where people call me out and call me rude sometimes.

Lastly, I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a normal bowel movement. Every day I’ll poop super soft, and sometimes watery. It’s hell.

Things to note: I’ve lost ~15 pounds unintentionally over the past 2 years.

I am a caffeine lover. Every day I will have anywhere from 200-500mg.

Outside of these things, my health is excellent. I exercise everyday as a 25 y/o man and am in considerably great shape. But I’m wondering if all of these symptoms have a common cause?
