Average patient in a Chubbyemu video: "BG had been eating batteries as a snack for weeks, but didn't tell the doctors, leading to a misdiagnosis and being discharged"
Genuinely believe this guy saved my life. There was a botulism outbreak in my city a few months ago, and I matched a LOT of the early symptoms that I learned from his vids. I stayed in the hospital for more than a month and had to be intubated at some points. Big love for this guy ❤
I always think that, when im out eating, there is a possibility that i might end up eating some rat shit or spoiled things but botulism really fucks you, huh
@@birdatbattlefield people we're told for decades Juice was kinda healthy because fruit, mainly by advertisers of course. So i don't think this is a matter of common sense really, people were misinformed about what is healthy by ads and educating them would counter this. If a person was told that orange Juice for breakfast is a good thing, 'common sense' might make them think it is good in higher quantities as well, without any further information regarding the topic why would they doubt that logic. Edit: i get that 4L is absurd and this specific amount would fall under common sense i agree, but 1L daily would allready be excessive and i have no doubt that a large amount of people wouldn't see the problem with it.
This popped up for me when I was born and it scared my parents so much that my dad started trying to put me back in. The doctor just sat there, watching them lose their minds.
Not all videos, there was a video about food poisoning from using frozen noodle dish (which seemed to be prepared correctly) and Today I've seen the video about woman who tried 19th century weight-loss method with expected results (something way worse than it not working). So also bad luck or the lack of critical thinking (or even common sense).
This is absolutely crazy how coincidental. My mother was just diagnosed with Sjögrens, and she basically had all of the same symptoms - dry mouth, bad teeth, frequent infections. Fortunately no endocarditis. I hope someone who sees this is able to catch it earlier
It's always wild how only physical harm seems to get a lot of these folks into the hospital, like half the time the timeline is "RM was shitting red slurry for for 8 years, had worsening headaches, wet mouth, dry mouth, became angry and tired all the time, abdominal pain, and then stubbed his toe real bad and called an ambulance to bring him to the emergency room, where we are now"
Unfortunately doctors have too many patients intend to write people off when they bring up smaller symptoms. I think it's a cultural problem in the US especially and I can't speak for other countries but there's probably other types of cultural interferences as well.
@@darcieclements4880 This happens in Canada, too. They assume it's nothing unless you're really, really sick and the idea is that they give you some vague advice and some Tylenol and send you home, and you come back if you get worse. This is part of the diagnostic process, I think, and that's even fair to some extent because a lot of things look the same in early stages. But it's predicated on the patient coming back and, if they felt dismissed, they won't. Or they can't because they need time off work, or because their doctor is booking months ahead. So those patients are "lost to follow-up." Where this kind of sucks is that one of the reasons for health coverage, be it private or public, is that people are meant to get ahead of things and get that early diagnosis, but it doesn't happen. The only solution that I think makes sense is for doctors to be a bit more curious in the first place maybe ask more questions (though I know they have limited time)... and then be clearer with patients about how this is a process. They are making a guess based on what's most common with your symptoms and context, and treating what they think you have is often the safest and most effective way to test their guess. If you never tell them the treatment didn't work, they have no way to know that they need to go back to the drawing board. I'd also say that doctors would have more time to talk to patients if they listened in the first place. Like, I'll tell a doc I have a non-productive cough and they'll nod and, less than a minute later, ask whether it's a produtive cough. Tick tock, Doctor. We have already covered this. I need you to focus up.
I am so glad to be alive in a time with these videos to inspire me to learn... rather than stuck 300 years ago praying to the sun hoping my "would be" rotting jaw or starving body would heal itself. lol
Many px get dismissed, when they try to discuss their issues; then many, just stop trying. Some physicians are apathetic, but the current system, no longer allows the time for proper work ups. It benefits neither patients, nor doctors, only VC.
Retired dentist here. Am horrified that her dental team were not immediately alerted to the dietary problem and dry mouth issue, advising her accordingly. Not just to stop but to have further medical testing. Watching her swill the juice around her mouth sickens me.
@@deathhulk88 If you have any sense of your own body, you figure it out pretty quick. My teeth are almost perfect but if I did that they would feel acidic at night and be aching in the morning. imo this woman's story is so unusual because of how consistently ignorant and reckless she was.
Honestly, I have learned so much about when to advocate for myself from chubbyemu videos. I’ve finally learned when something is “wrong.” Which sounds stupid, but in 2016, a doctor told me I just had a head cold and gave me amoxicillin and sent me home. But I’d had pneumonia, and went septic, and only went to the ER after a week, when the pain had become so bad that I was only sleeping two hours at a time after taking a powerful muscle relaxer. I nearly died because a doctor had downplayed my pain and I trusted them because I didn’t know better-I just assumed I was being dramatic. Cut to now, when I finally got a rare diagnosis of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency after demanding multiple referrals and second opinions and tests. (Lmao still fighting the insurance to cover my enzymes, but so it goes.) It’s honestly ridiculous how many times doctors go for the quick diagnosis, but on the other hand, I get it-doctors are incredibly overworked, which is its own big problem. It’s what makes it so important that patients learn how to advocate for themselves. I ended up putting together a huge health record document of all my symptoms and my history of medications and diagnoses-all so that I could ensure every doctor who worked with me had all the information that I have. I’m so glad it’s a skill I picked up. I’m well on my way to treatment for a relatively rare condition, and all because I finally learned how and when to put my foot down.
thanks for sharing. so glad to hear it, although im saddened to hear how you have to struggle in the system. i hope you're able to get everything that you need!
I too have pancreatic insufficiency. Kinda' sucks, particularly pre-diagnosis, and all the nausea and loosing weight that came with it. Was genuinely one of the worst years of my life how sick I felt. However, with replacement enzymes my symptoms were greatly reduced and before too long I could finally manage going back to eating a varied diet, including the odd cheeky takeaway and not have all the gastro upset, nausea etc, and even managed to gain a little weight. I wish you well in your recovery. 🫡
@@javierross7441 thank you so much! I’m sorry you went through that, too. Pre-diagnosis was absolutely wretched. I ended up getting SIBO on top of everything and the insurance refused to cover the Xifaxan. I think the vitamin deficiency is what’s hitting me the hardest. I’m hoping insurance approves the PERT soon, though. Thanks for the well wishes, and same to you!
Sadly this is a very common story with the uncommon ailments. I have a similar story in my family. Doctors are whipped to perform and are pushed to charge as many billable procedures in as short a time as possible by management. Like a used car salesman, they get chewed out by their managers and make less money if they always take the proper time to treat patients. At least that’s the way it is here in the US.
I love how theatrical and higher budget these have gotten, there are entire hospital scenes with multiple actors when it used to be just him "drinking/eating" something wacky on camera if we were lucky. I'm really happy to see that his channel is growing to a point where he can have more fun with these and I'm excited to see where it goes from here!
I assumed they were stock footage (since this is how stock footage is usually used) until I realized, there's no way a stock footage _that specific_ exists, right?
There is something almost poetic in the fact that someone decides not to take the antibiotics because they have had massive cavities and probably an infection but their body hurts so much that they are like "eh, probably not that important". Survival instincts are negative for some patients.
That's uncharitable, I think. Pain and dry mouth can make it hard to swallow things! This patient was misdiagnosed by doctors and not given the treatment she needed to allow her to function normally. The dental team didn't seem adequately invested in her issues either.
@@CossackGene Most patients do NOT follow orders regardless. When you have a diabetic type II patient coming in you already know they'll be non-compliant. Diet and exercise will prevent and solve 90% of these peoples problems but they'll always find an excuse.
Every cell in my body screamed diabetes and multiple myeloma but sjögrens was a curveball. You are the best medical content creator on youtube, literally carried me through preclinical phase in med school. Big thanks from a 5th year med student in finland, hoping to see a Heme Review resurrection in the future
Weirdly enough sjogrens was my immediate first guess, and I think the only reason I know about it is because of Venus Williams raising awareness for the disease.
I actually had to explain to my friend that “drinking a gallon of juice a day” isn’t actually healthy. I have the diabetes and he was telling me about how he was going to start being healthy. I guess he was trying for type 2 version of diabetes.
I really love how you breakdown and explain words in a way that allows layman people like me to actually understand!! Words iv heard 10000 times in my life but never have fully understood what they mean. Your videos are entertaining, terrifying, informative and educational all at the same!! Truly an aweing feat!! Well done!!
Fortunately, there does seem to be a push to get TMJ issues recognized as an orthopedic problem, not a dental one. Of course, we'll probably all be long dead before it actually happens…
Come to think of it, I don’t recall any doctor ever asking about what I eat or drink - except in regard to alcohol. And yet that seems like a fundamentally important thing to know whether in a regular exam or in making a diagnosis.
I find they don't ask--they tell. I have hyperlipidemia and I have even done a full genome test and found exactly where i inherited it but all I would ever hear was "well, you need to control this with diet." I'd say, "I'm eating 1000 calories a day and under 30% fat. What more control am I supposed to do?" And they'd literally laugh at me and say, "Eat less fast food", like, nope, if your lipid panel is that bad, it's because you've been a bad bad girl. (And I'm not overweight, btw.) I finally had to do a full month of UNDER 1000 calories and day and UNDER TEN PERCENT fat and track everything I ate and beg for a statin AGAIN and even after that the doctor said, well, maybe you could do more and I pretty much lost it and got my statin. My last lipid panel was perfect, for the first time since my 20s.
You need to see a Nutritionist specializing in diabetic metabolic syndrome (diabetes type 2) 💖 Most regular MDs know diabetic basics but can still be misinformed & this really isn't a disease we can just take lightly (or we will die 🙃) Maintaining Diabetes requires alot of self control & discipline 🙂🙏 I know from experience that it's hard but not impossible 😉 You got this!!! ❤
you can never fully recover from heart valve damage. You can recover from pancreatitis, kidney disease, you can even recover from diabetes (esp. if you caused it by drinking 4 liters of sugary sugar most days for the past 3 years) but the heart's valvular damage is universally irreversible, no matter the cause. It can be surgically corrected though, with a rough 50% of survival in 5 years (varies greatly by the type of valve correction /replacement
I’ve had a Sjögren’s diagnosis for a few months now and it is draining to say the least. I appreciate you shedding light on it as it seems to be relatively unknown. I know I hadn’t heard of such a thing until after diagnosis. More awareness around any disease is always helpful. So I’m sending all the thanks to you! I will continue to wish for the day for good health for those that are sick and tired of being sick and tired
Yeah it's a shame it's often diagnosed only after years of gaslighting patients (especially women are told they exaggerate their symptoms). Every dentist should have a good knowledge of Sjögrens since they are often the only ones to look in a patient's mouth.
I've had it since I was a child and was only diagnosed at 30... Doctors either didn't take me seriously or didn't advise me correctly. I was unaware of what an autoimmune disease was until not long before the diagnosis... Now I'm on MTX and doing pretty well with it so far.
I’m only at 2:24 but all the stuff about dehydration and especially dry eyes made me immediately think Sjorgen’s. I learned about it from Mystery Diagnosis, where they diagnose it by taking a piece of paper and putting it on your eyelid and seeing how wet it gets. The lady would dip sandwiches in water like you would cookies in milk.
@@zhaoluyue1995 if you mean you watch that, that’s impressive. If you mean he posts that (on his main channel) then you’re lying lol Me specifically I just like “A man/woman _____ this is what happened to their ____” videos
I've been dealing with Sjogrens for over 40 years. My mother and maternal grandmother had the same symptoms but Sjogrens wasn't well known at the time. My grandmother didn't take anything for the disorder but my mother took steroids for awhile and they did more damage than the disorder, so when I was diagnosed, I opted not to treat it. I have found a healthy diet, sleep, exercise, and reducing stress, go a long way in relieving symptoms.
@@lisasteel6817chronic dry mouth is nastier than just a dry mouth too. like he said in the video- it can contribute to cavities and infections that spread throughout the body regardless of cause. I'm on several medications that cause it so I gotta be careful. Biotene rinse along with proper oral hygiene helps a lot in my case but I had 4 outta my 5 root canals before I was 30 and have had no hard enamel on my teeth my entire adult life because I didn't take better care as a teen. My other health issues made me too exhausted to even notice it most of the time.
i love how you break down terms for us non med viewers but also keep some side questions for the med students to test their knowledge in. this is how to cater to all audience! great video as always
As someone with Sjogren's since very early childhood who wasn't diagnosed even with Chronic Parotitis and many, many other symptoms, thank you for sharing information about this disease.
Sjögren’s usually features with other autoimmune issues (I have three others) and I swear they don’t diagnose it until they find another issue. I hope you’re getting adequate treatment now ❤️
I'm kind of amazed that the doctor didn't instantly know that given I could tell with like the first 30 seconds of the video. I thought it was better known.
@@darcieclements4880 I said the same thing and there are people up and down this comment thread trying to tell me that there's no way doctors could have known. I dunno, maybe don't just assume everyone in the ED has the most common thing and ask them a couple of questions?
My 17yo daughter was admitted to the hospital for chest pain, heart gallup, and a lot of bad markers in her blood a few months ago. It took them a week to figure out Sjogrens was the root cause -- after I volunteered to the rheumatologist that she has had a terrible time with the dentist over the past few years. The dentist knew about Sjogrens but didn't suggest we look into it because "that usually happens to older people." We could have gotten a jump on this 3 years ago...
Cool to see a video with Sjogrens. This disease sucks, it affects so much of our lives but many people and even doctors just write it off as dry eyes and mouth.
Even those two symptoms alone are horrifying to me. I once had a dry mouth for a few weeks as a reaction to medication, and it was one of the worst things I've experienced.
Yep, it took my mother quite awhile to get a diagnosis and treatment after she developed it later in life but is now managing her symptoms ok. Also how having one autoimmune disease can be a risk factor for others. She also has celiac disease which isn’t a food allergy at all but instead an autoimmune disorder and risk factors for developing other autoimmune diseases don’t simply go away by avoiding wheat gluten.
My mom has this to an advanced degree, this disease is horrible. The dry mouth, eyes, skin, etc is bad enough. The damage it can do to your muscles and bones is horrendous. The treatment is also awful
So interesting! My cat almost died of diabetic ketoacidosis and the beginning of the video helped me understand more about what happened in his body :) And yes he made a full recovery!
btw from the other comment, be careful about feeding raw food to your cat - they, along with you, can get foods borne illnesses salmonella or listeria. Purina hydra care could be something to consider for hydration, or wet food too. Unfortunately as cats get older a lot of them tend to develop kidney issues, both on kibble and canned diets :(
I found that cats live a long time on wet cat food mixed with fat. I had a Siamese cat live to 23, a black cat at 18 and my current one is 14 and he is in perfect health @@c7an1d3
As someone with a family member with Sjogren's, I can't stress how painfully annoying this disease is. In most cases patients with PSD will have a dry mouth and dry eyes, but some will experience a lot of other seeminlgy random problems like acute nerve pains, chronic fatigue, and depression. The family member unfortunately is allergic to most antirheumatic drugs, so they have to take steroids despite the side effects. It's truely a disease that physically and mentally debilitates you.. Also amazing video as always - I hope people become more aware of PSD and its patients :)
@@vaakdemandante8772 Not that I'm aware of. Drinking water does make the dry mouth better but I doubt there's anything (diet-wise) that can do much about other symptoms. Just having balanced-diet is good for your general well-being I suppose though.
@@NateB No. Although their symptoms are more severe than most they are still pretty standard symptoms for PSD (and is confirmed with blood test), so I don't think they are gonna be willing to do more tests
Juices are often classified as 'healthy.' Sure, they’re still better than sodas or energy drinks, but juice is mostly sugar. Whole fruits are often better because you’re actually spending time munching them, and therefore blood sugar doesn’t spike as drastically as it does when drinking juice
@deathhulk8860 orange juice have a lot of sugar naturally. I lately bought a bottle of orange juice that you press a botton yourself on a machine to sqeeze the oranges in front of you. The label on the bottle said something around 25g of sugar per 250ml and 0 added sugar.
My femur snapped one day, at age 57. Since I was otherwise healthy, including regularly doing long walks - they investigated further, and the diagnosis was Myeloma. Oddly enough, I had virtually no symptom on the leg, thinking that the odd ache and pain was due to getting older and often walking more then ten miles for exercise. Apparently a lesion had formed, and pop! went the femur. I had two more lesions in my spine - lucki!y they didn't crumble it. Three Months in hospital. All goes to show - can't take anything for granted.
I appreciated how much you tried to step around the whole word around @10:29 "Malacia", pronounced "Kia" in some languages... like Greek 😂. To ruin the joke: malakia is a Greek profane slang word for "someone who... pleasures themselves". You can say it towards someone you dislike as an insult or to a friend if you mean it jokingly. Props to ChubbyEmu for keeping the stream safe for all!
There is growing consensus that Söjgrens is triggered by viral infection. My mother was diagnosed with it after a brief but difficult viral illness. The symptoms of Söjgrens manifested rapidly and she never had any of them before in her life. The diagnosis was confirmed by lip biopsy and she has never been the same since. I try to bring awareness to the disease as it isn't super well known.
Thank you for this video, I've been drinking multiple liters of milk every day and have been having some strange health problems that doctors haven't been able to treat yet. I'm gradually becoming more motivated to stop, which is difficult because it's one of the few things that substantially improves my mental health, which is absolutely destroyed every day by chronic human and animal violence, but watching this video is telling me it's probably the source of most of my leftover health problems, and stopping will probably improve my mental health without any side effects.
Had a friend in middle school days get a calcium kidney-stone from doing that. He still drinks milk. But its about moderation. Try to turn water and the fact that youre hydrating your body into a positive for your mental health instead of milk. What i do. Then when you do have milk, it will make you feel even better cuz its a treat. I love chocolate milk but keep it to a glass or two a day, after work, after drinking my water bottle a few times throughout the day.
A very large percentage of the population of planet Earth has at least some degree of sensitivity to one or more things that are naturally in cow milk, even those of us with the genetic mutation that allows us to digest it properly.
I’m so glad you did a video on sjogren's. I looked after patients on a clinical trial using monoclonal antibodies to try and minimise the autoimmune effects a few years ago in the Uk. It’s such debilitating disease and yet suffers can look completely healthy.
Yep - I have it, and Ehlers Danlos…I have issues with pretty much every organ system…but I “look normal” on the outside so it’s confusing to non-medical people.
very rare that one of these stories go "patient saw doctor about symptom of serious underlying problem, was dismissed, developed the absurd habit to cope with the dismissed symptom" normally they do the crazy thing first.
Stop treating EDs like diagnostic clinics. We do our best but we’re severely limited. You need to follow up with your PCP and possibly specialists who can do more specific testing.
Oh my gosh, I just realized where your intro music comes from! It came across my Spotify, and I sat scratching my head for hours trying to remember where I had heard the tune before. It was your UA-cam videos.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I nailed the Sjögren’s. Ladies in particular pay attention to these symptoms and get your eyes checked. I get corneal lacerations often and if you want to guard your eyesight, get frequent eye exams and use daily eye drops.
Same! I was thinking sjogrens as soon as he said dry eyes and mouth! I have one positive sjogrens marker, Dr said could be early, or could be nothing, so I'm always paying attention to myself.
Licensed medical professional here. There are about 100 other possible, more likely reasons for dry eye/mouth other than sjogrens . But, funnily enough from watching this channel and others like it, it pops up in my head as a possibility way more than it should. Lol
She went back to the juice drinking after she was in the hospital and released after getting better and at no point she never thought maybe that amount of juice drinking was the problem. Good grief.
In fairness, she might not have made the connection because her problems started before the juice habit. From her point of view, the juice was the only thing that relieved her symptoms. She did not realize it was actually making things worse.
There must be some cognitive component here. I have an autistic adult son, and his logic sometimes leads to very strange conclusions. Nobody told her better, so....
My fellow dry mouth and dry eye sufferers! There is a toothpaste called Salivea that helps a lot, it has salivary enzymes. Biotene is the best mouth gel that I found but it is really expensive. It tastes nice and gels last longer than sprays. Also sugar free gum will help you actually produce more saliva. I was told by an optometrist that you can help produce more tears by closing your eyes and opening them. The trick is to close them with enough pressure so you feel the "pop" of your lacrimal glands when opening. Do this for a minute or so as many times a day as needed. After a few days I was really surprised with how much it helps, plus it's free! Dry eye stuff is also way too expensive. Sigh.
That tear producing thing helped me just now, I can sometimes have dry eyes in the morning (it's 9:30 a.m for me, I got up 1,5 hours ago but my eyes have been feeling slightly dry) and it's just allowed me to work at the computer more easily. I've liked that sensation but just never did enough repetitions 😅
@@DrDeuteron Thank you for the tip! I also have something called Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia that spikes my heart rate on any type of exertion with dysautonomia so my body thinks I'm being chased by a lion. It's super lame. One of the symptoms is sweating. Otherwise, I would totally take Evoxac.
This confirms that I made the RIGHT choice of drinking 4 liters of alcohol everyday for 3 years instead of the orange juice my wife was trying to make me drink :)
My friend, you don’t understand how much I learn from your videos. You drop nuggets here and there that give me eureka moments and help click things into place. Indirectly helping me solve my own questions and some I didn’t even know I had.
There was a point in my life where I only drank juice. Since switching to mostly water, I have legitimately never felt better. Please be safe people!!!
The problem with Sjogren's (especially if you don't know you have it) is that it literally makes you thirstier because it washes away what saliva you have. But things with sugar prompt whatever saliva production you do have, which helps a bit. I've been diagnosed for over a decade and still don't have a good solution that gets me a reasonable amount of fluids. My brain knows water is better, but when it makes you feel worse every single time you drink it, it's hard to work around that. (Especially if you don't have tons of money to spend on the gels and stuff that you can use to help keep your mouth hydrated - they're OTC, so no insurance help)
@@EmCranberries Every try sugar free mints? Sucking on something (preferably sugar free) increases saliva production. I have no idea if it would help with Sjogren's but I get dry mouth from vaping and mints help so a lot.
It's sad that juice is generally considered "healthy". One can't usually eat 10 oranges in a row, but it is trivial to do that in juice form. And that's freshly squeezed, not the ridiculous sugary concoctions that supermarkets sell.
The new format where you keep the symptoms, pathology, and/or DDx up at the top left is great. Please keep doing that! Also extra details at the end for the more medically trained would make me giddy. -medical students everywhere
Me too! Not enough to have been diagnosed with JRA, but it’s been lifelong since at least middle school (I don’t really remember before) and I’ve no detectable inflammation markers. I’ve never been able to run for excercise because of severe joint pain that would ramp up for a day or two after a run and last for weeks. Any impact joint loading causes this in me, like cracking my knuckles actually causes them to feel good in the moment but then suffer increased joint pain for days or weeks which is not normal I found out. I also have celiac disease which you probably know is an autoimmune disease, not a food allergy. So I have spent quite a bit of time on google scholar, library genesis, Anna’s archive, and similar sites.
Yup, me too. I have Celiac disease and HS (autoimmune skin disease) and once you start down that rabbit hole of reading about autoimmune diseases it takes you all kinds of exciting places.
@@hugegamer5988 have they checked for rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP antibodies? Just wanted to share that I was diagnosed with RA despite normal looking inflammation markers; I feel like there must be a gap in those tests that's not yet accounted for. Just want to make sure you don't discount something prematurely, if it fits the picture of your symptoms overall!
Felt. I'm under watch for MS according to my neurologist. Not enough to diagnose just yet and I don't want to do a lumbar puncture if it might find nothing tbh 😭
Basically half the people who walk into the emergency department have mild or severe hyperglycemia. Mild hyperglycemia has a lot of causes and is often not anything to worry about. I have almost never seen a doctor at the ED ask about diet - we don't have time to do a full history, we see 3-4 patients per hour, some who are critically ill.
@@imogenmcgough9689 they may have worded it in a way where she only thought about food and not drinks. This has been a common problem in the past and medical workers have started training to ask questions differently to avoid some of these very common blind spots.
These videos have become so helpful that there are no further toxicology cases in North America, and CE now has to cover cases from Asia. Good work, Dr. Bernard! 😅
I just got my Multiple Sklerosis diagnosis last week at age 21 (it's an auto-immune disease as well) and then this video drops, so even more interesting than usual for me! I was suddenly sent to the huge city hospital from my eye doctor suspecting it and received 1g cortisone for 5 days and had a lumbal puncture. But all in all I'm so happy that it was caught early. A week later I'm still really tired and sometimes think about that this will be with me my entire life, but I'm also so glad that medicine is what it is today! Thank you for making these videos!
There is a complete treatment for it (not all forms), where they completely reset your immune system, shut it down completely. It is not ensured in my country, so you might have to pay for it. But I saw people fully stop this disease with it.
There are some carnivores on UA-cam who got back to symptom free with MS, took them a while and I'm sure it's not working for everyone. Just letting you know
Exactly! None of these things would happened if 1. She'd had more education about her own health (including dental) 2. People had really thought to double check WHY she was so dry all the time
As a new grad dental hygienist this was the first episode where I was able to follow along and come up with an idea of what could be wrong. 😊 I'm so proud of myself
I was absurdly excited that I knew just a few minutes into this video what JL was suffering from. I have primary Sjögren’s syndrome. Thank you for covering this!!!!
Can’t lie these are some of my favorite videos on the platform. I love learning about these weird medical cases. Thanks for sharing and for the high production quality!
I Sjögren’s, Ehlers Danlos, and chronic pancreatitis (among a lot of other issues - I see 17 specialists regularly) - this all hits close to home! I’m grateful I have a good team now that believes and explains my weird symptoms, and is proactive!
@pigeonelectrico right now I am fighting to get a rheumatology appt because someone put "management of fibromyalgia" on it. Now I have to send over more records . I am taking HCQ due to pre-eliminary dx of undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis/undifferentiated connective tissue disease from a rheumatologist that I could only see one time because he was leaving in a few weeks after I saw him. I just wanted relief. I got it. Then I realize "oh shit I gotta manage this now". Make rheumatologists totally not look at you with this simple trick. Put fibromyalgia on it and watch as your referral instantly gets denied! Patients hate this. I was originally diagnosed with fibromyalgia and now the diagnosis is haunting me!!
Not checking for autoimmune disease and just ignoring her and not giving her anything to combat dry mouth and eyes is freaking awful... but also omg, how is a grown ass woman not understanding it's an excess, not divulging it when told she has diabetes, not taking the antibiotics, and drinking a sugary drink right before bed. That's such a severe lack of judgment all around...
Dy eyes and dry mouth are classic autoimmune systems, and as a patient of dry eyes, even I knew this much. They are very often triggered by a suboptimal vitamin D level, but then they won't go away even if the level is corrected. Dental cavities also point to it, but dentists ignore it too.
There's no way she was able to think clearly like that. Have you ever dealt with someone in diabetic crisis? High or low blood sugar severely impacts one's ability to think properly.
@professorfrog7181 Testing anyone who might have primary Sjögren's? Totally sustainable, we do it everywhere on Earth except in the US, where things that should cost $1 cost $1000 for no reason other than a completely bogus made-up pricing scheme. I won't say that this case couldn't happen in Europe, but it would be a lot less likely. Heck, it'd be less likely here in Mexico, where almost no one has health insurance and the public system is chronically underfunded -- just because the pricing is transparent and reasonable instead of opaque and ridiculous.
Scary how relatable this one is. I just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago after a week due to severe sepsis. Which I suspect was caused by an earlier gum infection caused by poor oral hygeine. I didn't get any heart vegetation, but I was almost unable to walk whatsoever, I couldn't even sit up on a chair for long periods, had no appetite, and eventually when I got taken by ambulance to the hospital I had to get an IO since they couldn't find a BP or get an IV and let me tell you, you never, ever, ever want an IO infusion. Ever. I also have two autoimmune diseases (Crohn's and Ankylosing Spondylitis), and have had a hip replaced due to osteonecrosis due to long term steroid use to keep the Crohn's from killing me. Not as much juice though...
You don't need to worry about poor oral hygiene when you don't eat poisonous carbs. Carbs are not human food, and are contraindicated, and not necessary for any human consumption.
@@concettaworkman5895 your brain can only use gluclose. Fruits and berries used to be seasonal bonus food, which we eat way too much of now, but it seems very odd that they are "cobtraindicated". [Citation needed]
I fervently hope you will soon be feeling better than ever. We disabled and chronically ill can't really do a Million Cripple Limp on D.C. and get attention to our cause.

@@MrNoucfeanorjust finished it. I think with those symptoms “a” recovery is a good outcome. Four litres of juice a day is madness, her blood must have been 90% glucose
It's also the fact that the mint flavor of toothpaste is terrible with the flavor of orange juice. Honestly, this is probably one the biggest troglodites I've ever heard of. Not only is she breaking the Geneva convention with that goofy ass combination, but she's also destroying her body with a GALLON of juice EVERYDAY.
It is frustrating that she had underlying symptoms for YEARS, and was dismissed as “you’re just dehydrated”. They probably didn’t even do a blood test that first ER visit, heard “dry eyes and mouth” and sent her out the door. SMH.
I don't think you can get rid of diabetes. You can reverse it to some extent and make it manageable through a healthy lifestyle and/or medications, but you can't cure it.
i feel that this patient probably didnt realize how excessive her juice drinking was, which was why she didnt think to mention it to doctors. its good that chubbyemu teaches cases in the way that he does because it teaches us to think outside of the box and think about the little habits/events. not to create a runaway that every little thing can cause an er visit but to be weary about excess and sus foods and behaviors. :)
@@johnrambo7072 Yeah, I used to drink 2ish cups of juice a day as a kid since I liked the taste, but...4 liters?? That's absurd. I don't think I could stand to drink ONE liter a day! Bleh! Edit: I've actually started watching the video now, and see it's because of some kind of health issue. Still, it's kinda baffling she wouldn't mention that to doctors.
It’s hard because how to people know what’s normal? I had a doctor ask me if my joint pain was worse in the mornings, I thought about it and said yes. My doctor thought I had conventional arthritis though I didn’t have inflammation. Turns out if you have arthritis you feel stiff after not moving for awhile, like in the mornings. But my bizarre autoimmune condition has flare ups that happen quickly but go down slowly over many days or even weeks making the pain worse in the morning, a bit less in the evening but the next day less in the morning but even less that evening making it more painful and stiff in mornings than evenings but not at all in the way the doctor was thinking. If only I knew what normal arthritis was it would have been easier to give an answer the doctor understood.

She was told 3L a day was a good idea for women. She just decided if 3L is good, 4L is better.
@@ferretyluv Yeah of water. Not juice
No it really shouldn't. Common sense should be taught.
@@birdatbattlefield people we're told for decades Juice was kinda healthy because fruit, mainly by advertisers of course. So i don't think this is a matter of common sense really, people were misinformed about what is healthy by ads and educating them would counter this. If a person was told that orange Juice for breakfast is a good thing, 'common sense' might make them think it is good in higher quantities as well, without any further information regarding the topic why would they doubt that logic.
Edit: i get that 4L is absurd and this specific amount would fall under common sense i agree, but 1L daily would allready be excessive and i have no doubt that a large amount of people wouldn't see the problem with it.

This is absolutely crazy how coincidental. My mother was just diagnosed with Sjögrens, and she basically had all of the same symptoms - dry mouth, bad teeth, frequent infections. Fortunately no endocarditis. I hope someone who sees this is able to catch it earlier
I can't convince my doctor or dentist I have it, but I have dry eyes, dry mouth, dry skin, dry lady parts, etc.
It's always wild how only physical harm seems to get a lot of these folks into the hospital, like half the time the timeline is "RM was shitting red slurry for for 8 years, had worsening headaches, wet mouth, dry mouth, became angry and tired all the time, abdominal pain, and then stubbed his toe real bad and called an ambulance to bring him to the emergency room, where we are now"
Unfortunately doctors have too many patients intend to write people off when they bring up smaller symptoms. I think it's a cultural problem in the US especially and I can't speak for other countries but there's probably other types of cultural interferences as well.
@darcieclements4880 she did go to the doctor though. And they told her to drink more water.
@@darcieclements4880 This happens in Canada, too. They assume it's nothing unless you're really, really sick and the idea is that they give you some vague advice and some Tylenol and send you home, and you come back if you get worse. This is part of the diagnostic process, I think, and that's even fair to some extent because a lot of things look the same in early stages. But it's predicated on the patient coming back and, if they felt dismissed, they won't. Or they can't because they need time off work, or because their doctor is booking months ahead. So those patients are "lost to follow-up." Where this kind of sucks is that one of the reasons for health coverage, be it private or public, is that people are meant to get ahead of things and get that early diagnosis, but it doesn't happen. The only solution that I think makes sense is for doctors to be a bit more curious in the first place maybe ask more questions (though I know they have limited time)... and then be clearer with patients about how this is a process. They are making a guess based on what's most common with your symptoms and context, and treating what they think you have is often the safest and most effective way to test their guess. If you never tell them the treatment didn't work, they have no way to know that they need to go back to the drawing board. I'd also say that doctors would have more time to talk to patients if they listened in the first place. Like, I'll tell a doc I have a non-productive cough and they'll nod and, less than a minute later, ask whether it's a produtive cough. Tick tock, Doctor. We have already covered this. I need you to focus up.
I am so glad to be alive in a time with these videos to inspire me to learn...

Many px get dismissed, when they try to discuss their issues; then many, just stop trying. Some physicians are apathetic, but the current system, no longer allows the time for proper work ups. It benefits neither patients, nor doctors, only VC.

Honestly, I have learned so much about when to advocate for myself from chubbyemu videos. I’ve finally learned when something is “wrong.” Which sounds stupid, but in 2016, a doctor told me I just had a head cold and gave me amoxicillin and sent me home. But I’d had pneumonia, and went septic, and only went to the ER after a week, when the pain had become so bad that I was only sleeping two hours at a time after taking a powerful muscle relaxer. I nearly died because a doctor had downplayed my pain and I trusted them because I didn’t know better-I just assumed I was being dramatic.
Cut to now, when I finally got a rare diagnosis of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency after demanding multiple referrals and second opinions and tests. (Lmao still fighting the insurance to cover my enzymes, but so it goes.)
It’s honestly ridiculous how many times doctors go for the quick diagnosis, but on the other hand, I get it-doctors are incredibly overworked, which is its own big problem. It’s what makes it so important that patients learn how to advocate for themselves. I ended up putting together a huge health record document of all my symptoms and my history of medications and diagnoses-all so that I could ensure every doctor who worked with me had all the information that I have.
I’m so glad it’s a skill I picked up. I’m well on my way to treatment for a relatively rare condition, and all because I finally learned how and when to put my foot down.
thanks for sharing. so glad to hear it, although im saddened to hear how you have to struggle in the system. i hope you're able to get everything that you need!
@@chubbyemu thank you! I hope so too. 💜 thanks for all you do
I too have pancreatic insufficiency.
Kinda' sucks, particularly pre-diagnosis, and all the nausea and loosing weight that came with it. Was genuinely one of the worst years of my life how sick I felt.
However, with replacement enzymes my symptoms were greatly reduced and before too long I could finally manage going back to eating a varied diet, including the odd cheeky takeaway and not have all the gastro upset, nausea etc, and even managed to gain a little weight.
I wish you well in your recovery. 🫡
@@javierross7441 thank you so much! I’m sorry you went through that, too. Pre-diagnosis was absolutely wretched. I ended up getting SIBO on top of everything and the insurance refused to cover the Xifaxan. I think the vitamin deficiency is what’s hitting me the hardest. I’m hoping insurance approves the PERT soon, though. Thanks for the well wishes, and same to you!
Sadly this is a very common story with the uncommon ailments. I have a similar story in my family.
Doctors are whipped to perform and are pushed to charge as many billable procedures in as short a time as possible by management. Like a used car salesman, they get chewed out by their managers and make less money if they always take the proper time to treat patients. At least that’s the way it is here in the US.

@PacmanBrunnerbro what 😭😭
This is why dental care is so important. You can get nasty heart conditions from mouth infections.
There is something almost poetic in the fact that someone decides not to take the antibiotics because they have had massive cavities and probably an infection but their body hurts so much that they are like "eh, probably not that important". Survival instincts are negative for some patients.
The patient does seem kinda dim.
Natural selection should have done it's job.
"this will cure me? nah lol no thanks"
"oughhh why does it still hurt??"
That's uncharitable, I think. Pain and dry mouth can make it hard to swallow things! This patient was misdiagnosed by doctors and not given the treatment she needed to allow her to function normally. The dental team didn't seem adequately invested in her issues either.
@@CossackGene Most patients do NOT follow orders regardless. When you have a diabetic type II patient coming in you already know they'll be non-compliant. Diet and exercise will prevent and solve 90% of these peoples problems but they'll always find an excuse.

@@theyellowarchitect4504soo, where do you get checked when you have a medical problem, on Facebook or Google?
I find they don't ask--they tell. I have hyperlipidemia and I have even done a full genome test and found exactly where i inherited it but all I would ever hear was "well, you need to control this with diet." I'd say, "I'm eating 1000 calories a day and under 30% fat. What more control am I supposed to do?" And they'd literally laugh at me and say, "Eat less fast food", like, nope, if your lipid panel is that bad, it's because you've been a bad bad girl. (And I'm not overweight, btw.) I finally had to do a full month of UNDER 1000 calories and day and UNDER TEN PERCENT fat and track everything I ate and beg for a statin AGAIN and even after that the doctor said, well, maybe you could do more and I pretty much lost it and got my statin. My last lipid panel was perfect, for the first time since my 20s.

It can be surgically corrected though, with a rough 50% of survival in 5 years (varies greatly by the type of valve correction /replacement

I’ve had a Sjögren’s diagnosis for a few months now and it is draining to say the least. I appreciate you shedding light on it as it seems to be relatively unknown. I know I hadn’t heard of such a thing until after diagnosis. More awareness around any disease is always helpful. So I’m sending all the thanks to you! I will continue to wish for the day for good health for those that are sick and tired of being sick and tired
Yeah it's a shame it's often diagnosed only after years of gaslighting patients (especially women are told they exaggerate their symptoms).
Every dentist should have a good knowledge of Sjögrens since they are often the only ones to look in a patient's mouth.
I've had it since I was a child and was only diagnosed at 30... Doctors either didn't take me seriously or didn't advise me correctly. I was unaware of what an autoimmune disease was until not long before the diagnosis...
Now I'm on MTX and doing pretty well with it so far.

I’m only at 2:24 but all the stuff about dehydration and especially dry eyes made me immediately think Sjorgen’s.

I've been dealing with Sjogrens for over 40 years. My mother and maternal grandmother had the same symptoms but Sjogrens wasn't well known at the time. My grandmother didn't take anything for the disorder but my mother took steroids for awhile and they did more damage than the disorder, so when I was diagnosed, I opted not to treat it. I have found a healthy diet, sleep, exercise, and reducing stress, go a long way in relieving symptoms.

As someone with Sjogren's since very early childhood who wasn't diagnosed even with Chronic Parotitis and many, many other symptoms, thank you for sharing information about this disease.
Sjögren’s usually features with other autoimmune issues (I have three others) and I swear they don’t diagnose it until they find another issue. I hope you’re getting adequate treatment now ❤️
I'm kind of amazed that the doctor didn't instantly know that given I could tell with like the first 30 seconds of the video. I thought it was better known.
@@darcieclements4880 I said the same thing and there are people up and down this comment thread trying to tell me that there's no way doctors could have known. I dunno, maybe don't just assume everyone in the ED has the most common thing and ask them a couple of questions?
My 17yo daughter was admitted to the hospital for chest pain, heart gallup, and a lot of bad markers in her blood a few months ago. It took them a week to figure out Sjogrens was the root cause -- after I volunteered to the rheumatologist that she has had a terrible time with the dentist over the past few years. The dentist knew about Sjogrens but didn't suggest we look into it because "that usually happens to older people." We could have gotten a jump on this 3 years ago...
Cool to see a video with Sjogrens. This disease sucks, it affects so much of our lives but many people and even doctors just write it off as dry eyes and mouth.
Even those two symptoms alone are horrifying to me. I once had a dry mouth for a few weeks as a reaction to medication, and it was one of the worst things I've experienced.
Yep, it took my mother quite awhile to get a diagnosis and treatment after she developed it later in life but is now managing her symptoms ok. Also how having one autoimmune disease can be a risk factor for others. She also has celiac disease which isn’t a food allergy at all but instead an autoimmune disorder and risk factors for developing other autoimmune diseases don’t simply go away by avoiding wheat gluten.
My mom has this to an advanced degree, this disease is horrible. The dry mouth, eyes, skin, etc is bad enough. The damage it can do to your muscles and bones is horrendous. The treatment is also awful
Tbh, I've been thinking I have it for a few weeks now, and this video certainly isn't helping

btw from the other comment, be careful about feeding raw food to your cat - they, along with you, can get foods borne illnesses salmonella or listeria. Purina hydra care could be something to consider for hydration, or wet food too. Unfortunately as cats get older a lot of them tend to develop kidney issues, both on kibble and canned diets :(

As someone with a family member with Sjogren's, I can't stress how painfully annoying this disease is. In most cases patients with PSD will have a dry mouth and dry eyes, but some will experience a lot of other seeminlgy random problems like acute nerve pains, chronic fatigue, and depression. The family member unfortunately is allergic to most antirheumatic drugs, so they have to take steroids despite the side effects. It's truely a disease that physically and mentally debilitates you..
Also amazing video as always - I hope people become more aware of PSD and its patients :)
from your experience, do any changes in diet moderate the condition i.e. make it increase or decrease in intensity?
Hi 👋. Depression and chronic fatigue, here! Along with my RA.
@@vaakdemandante8772 Not that I'm aware of. Drinking water does make the dry mouth better but I doubt there's anything (diet-wise) that can do much about other symptoms. Just having balanced-diet is good for your general well-being I suppose though.
Did you ever get an ILADS doctor to check for an infection that may not be showing up in blood tests?
@@NateB No. Although their symptoms are more severe than most they are still pretty standard symptoms for PSD (and is confirmed with blood test), so I don't think they are gonna be willing to do more tests
The sugar content in juice is the exact reason Canada’s Food Guide removed it from the food rainbow.
i never understood the point of adding more sugar to a juice that's already sweet here in europe im pretty sure you can't even call it juice
I hate that extra sugar is added. So I usually HEAVILY water it down, at least 1:1
Juices are often classified as 'healthy.' Sure, they’re still better than sodas or energy drinks, but juice is mostly sugar. Whole fruits are often better because you’re actually spending time munching them, and therefore blood sugar doesn’t spike as drastically as it does when drinking juice
@@MikoYotsuya292 I always EAT my fruit, never drink it.

My femur snapped one day, at age 57. Since I was otherwise healthy, including regularly doing long walks - they investigated further, and the diagnosis was Myeloma.
Oddly enough, I had virtually no symptom on the leg, thinking that the odd ache and pain was due to getting older and often walking more then ten miles for exercise. Apparently a lesion had formed, and pop! went the femur. I had two more lesions in my spine - lucki!y they didn't crumble it.

There is growing consensus that Söjgrens is triggered by viral infection. My mother was diagnosed with it after a brief but difficult viral illness. The symptoms of Söjgrens manifested rapidly and she never had any of them before in her life. The diagnosis was confirmed by lip biopsy and she has never been the same since. I try to bring awareness to the disease as it isn't super well known.
Thank you for this video, I've been drinking multiple liters of milk every day and have been having some strange health problems that doctors haven't been able to treat yet. I'm gradually becoming more motivated to stop, which is difficult because it's one of the few things that substantially improves my mental health, which is absolutely destroyed every day by chronic human and animal violence, but watching this video is telling me it's probably the source of most of my leftover health problems, and stopping will probably improve my mental health without any side effects.
u can keep 1 litre, it has much protein and calcium.
Had a friend in middle school days get a calcium kidney-stone from doing that.
He still drinks milk. But its about moderation. Try to turn water and the fact that youre hydrating your body into a positive for your mental health instead of milk. What i do.
Then when you do have milk, it will make you feel even better cuz its a treat.
I love chocolate milk but keep it to a glass or two a day, after work, after drinking my water bottle a few times throughout the day.
A very large percentage of the population of planet Earth has at least some degree of sensitivity to one or more things that are naturally in cow milk, even those of us with the genetic mutation that allows us to digest it properly.
I’m so glad you did a video on sjogren's. I looked after patients on a clinical trial using monoclonal antibodies to try and minimise the autoimmune effects a few years ago in the Uk. It’s such debilitating disease and yet suffers can look completely healthy.
Yep - I have it, and Ehlers Danlos…I have issues with pretty much every organ system…but I “look normal” on the outside so it’s confusing to non-medical people.
My mom has it, so I probably have it too.
very rare that one of these stories go "patient saw doctor about symptom of serious underlying problem, was dismissed, developed the absurd habit to cope with the dismissed symptom" normally they do the crazy thing first.

Oh my gosh, I just realized where your intro music comes from! It came across my Spotify, and I sat scratching my head for hours trying to remember where I had heard the tune before. It was your UA-cam videos.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I nailed the Sjögren’s. Ladies in particular pay attention to these symptoms and get your eyes checked. I get corneal lacerations often and if you want to guard your eyesight, get frequent eye exams and use daily eye drops.
Same! I was thinking sjogrens as soon as he said dry eyes and mouth! I have one positive sjogrens marker, Dr said could be early, or could be nothing, so I'm always paying attention to myself.
Licensed medical professional here. There are about 100 other possible, more likely reasons for dry eye/mouth other than sjogrens . But, funnily enough from watching this channel and others like it, it pops up in my head as a possibility way more than it should. Lol

She went back to the juice drinking after she was in the hospital and released after getting better and at no point she never thought maybe that amount of juice drinking was the problem. Good grief.
In fairness, she might not have made the connection because her problems started before the juice habit. From her point of view, the juice was the only thing that relieved her symptoms. She did not realize it was actually making things worse.
There's no way she wasn't told that she had hyperglycemia (in layman terms) by the doctors, let alone never ask what her problem was.

My fellow dry mouth and dry eye sufferers! There is a toothpaste called Salivea that helps a lot, it has salivary enzymes. Biotene is the best mouth gel that I found but it is really expensive. It tastes nice and gels last longer than sprays. Also sugar free gum will help you actually produce more saliva. I was told by an optometrist that you can help produce more tears by closing your eyes and opening them. The trick is to close them with enough pressure so you feel the "pop" of your lacrimal glands when opening. Do this for a minute or so as many times a day as needed. After a few days I was really surprised with how much it helps, plus it's free! Dry eye stuff is also way too expensive. Sigh.
That tear producing thing helped me just now, I can sometimes have dry eyes in the morning (it's 9:30 a.m for me, I got up 1,5 hours ago but my eyes have been feeling slightly dry) and it's just allowed me to work at the computer more easily. I've liked that sensation but just never did enough repetitions 😅

@@pomegarnet1618True dat!
There was a point in my life where I only drank juice. Since switching to mostly water, I have legitimately never felt better. Please be safe people!!!
i only drink bottled water ... !
The problem with Sjogren's (especially if you don't know you have it) is that it literally makes you thirstier because it washes away what saliva you have. But things with sugar prompt whatever saliva production you do have, which helps a bit. I've been diagnosed for over a decade and still don't have a good solution that gets me a reasonable amount of fluids. My brain knows water is better, but when it makes you feel worse every single time you drink it, it's hard to work around that. (Especially if you don't have tons of money to spend on the gels and stuff that you can use to help keep your mouth hydrated - they're OTC, so no insurance help)
@@EmCranberries Every try sugar free mints? Sucking on something (preferably sugar free) increases saliva production. I have no idea if it would help with Sjogren's but I get dry mouth from vaping and mints help so a lot.
@@sunnystormy4973That’s a lot of plastic.
It's sad that juice is generally considered "healthy". One can't usually eat 10 oranges in a row, but it is trivial to do that in juice form. And that's freshly squeezed, not the ridiculous sugary concoctions that supermarkets sell.

"Constant dry mouth"- My brain: IT'S SJOGREN'S DISEASE!
(I have chronic joint pain, which led to lots of reading about autoimmune diseases aha :')
Me too! Not enough to have been diagnosed with JRA, but it’s been lifelong since at least middle school (I don’t really remember before) and I’ve no detectable inflammation markers. I’ve never been able to run for excercise because of severe joint pain that would ramp up for a day or two after a run and last for weeks. Any impact joint loading causes this in me, like cracking my knuckles actually causes them to feel good in the moment but then suffer increased joint pain for days or weeks which is not normal I found out. I also have celiac disease which you probably know is an autoimmune disease, not a food allergy. So I have spent quite a bit of time on google scholar, library genesis, Anna’s archive, and similar sites.
Yup, me too. I have Celiac disease and HS (autoimmune skin disease) and once you start down that rabbit hole of reading about autoimmune diseases it takes you all kinds of exciting places.
Same. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
@@hugegamer5988 have they checked for rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP antibodies? Just wanted to share that I was diagnosed with RA despite normal looking inflammation markers; I feel like there must be a gap in those tests that's not yet accounted for. Just want to make sure you don't discount something prematurely, if it fits the picture of your symptoms overall!
Felt. I'm under watch for MS according to my neurologist. Not enough to diagnose just yet and I don't want to do a lumbar puncture if it might find nothing tbh 😭

If the doctors had already spotted hyperglycemia so early, why would they not of asked her about her diet?
Basically half the people who walk into the emergency department have mild or severe hyperglycemia. Mild hyperglycemia has a lot of causes and is often not anything to worry about. I have almost never seen a doctor at the ED ask about diet - we don't have time to do a full history, we see 3-4 patients per hour, some who are critically ill.
@@imogenmcgough9689 they may have worded it in a way where she only thought about food and not drinks. This has been a common problem in the past and medical workers have started training to ask questions differently to avoid some of these very common blind spots.

I just got my Multiple Sklerosis diagnosis last week at age 21 (it's an auto-immune disease as well) and then this video drops, so even more interesting than usual for me! I was suddenly sent to the huge city hospital from my eye doctor suspecting it and received 1g cortisone for 5 days and had a lumbal puncture. But all in all I'm so happy that it was caught early. A week later I'm still really tired and sometimes think about that this will be with me my entire life, but I'm also so glad that medicine is what it is today!

I am 21 got diagnosed with ms when i was 17 you eventually get used to it.

Not checking for autoimmune disease and just ignoring her and not giving her anything to combat dry mouth and eyes is freaking awful... but also omg, how is a grown ass woman not understanding it's an excess, not divulging it when told she has diabetes, not taking the antibiotics, and drinking a sugary drink right before bed. That's such a severe lack of judgment all around...
Dy eyes and dry mouth are classic autoimmune systems, and as a patient of dry eyes, even I knew this much. They are very often triggered by a suboptimal vitamin D level, but then they won't go away even if the level is corrected. Dental cavities also point to it, but dentists ignore it too.
There's no way she was able to think clearly like that. Have you ever dealt with someone in diabetic crisis? High or low blood sugar severely impacts one's ability to think properly.
Also lots of people don't really understand medicine at all.@@sourgreendolly7685

@professorfrog7181 Testing anyone who might have primary Sjögren's? Totally sustainable, we do it everywhere on Earth except in the US, where things that should cost $1 cost $1000 for no reason other than a completely bogus made-up pricing scheme. I won't say that this case couldn't happen in Europe, but it would be a lot less likely. Heck, it'd be less likely here in Mexico, where almost no one has health insurance and the public system is chronically underfunded -- just because the pricing is transparent and reasonable instead of opaque and ridiculous.
Scary how relatable this one is. I just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago after a week due to severe sepsis. Which I suspect was caused by an earlier gum infection caused by poor oral hygeine. I didn't get any heart vegetation, but I was almost unable to walk whatsoever, I couldn't even sit up on a chair for long periods, had no appetite, and eventually when I got taken by ambulance to the hospital I had to get an IO since they couldn't find a BP or get an IV and let me tell you, you never, ever, ever want an IO infusion. Ever.
I also have two autoimmune diseases (Crohn's and Ankylosing Spondylitis), and have had a hip replaced due to osteonecrosis due to long term steroid use to keep the Crohn's from killing me.
Not as much juice though...

Not only is she breaking the Geneva convention with that goofy ass combination, but she's also destroying her body with a GALLON of juice EVERYDAY.
It is frustrating that she had underlying symptoms for YEARS, and was dismissed as “you’re just dehydrated”. They probably didn’t even do a blood test that first ER visit, heard “dry eyes and mouth” and sent her out the door. SMH.

@@johnrambo7072 Yeah, I used to drink 2ish cups of juice a day as a kid since I liked the taste, but...4 liters?? That's absurd. I don't think I could stand to drink ONE liter a day! Bleh!
Edit: I've actually started watching the video now, and see it's because of some kind of health issue. Still, it's kinda baffling she wouldn't mention that to doctors.
It’s hard because how to people know what’s normal? I had a doctor ask me if my joint pain was worse in the mornings, I thought about it and said yes. My doctor thought I had conventional arthritis though I didn’t have inflammation. Turns out if you have arthritis you feel stiff after not moving for awhile, like in the mornings. But my bizarre autoimmune condition has flare ups that happen quickly but go down slowly over many days or even weeks making the pain worse in the morning, a bit less in the evening but the next day less in the morning but even less that evening making it more painful and stiff in mornings than evenings but not at all in the way the doctor was thinking. If only I knew what normal arthritis was it would have been easier to give an answer the doctor understood.
