I had it once in my life, and I’m definitely not a fan. Since then, I’ve made it a point to take vitamins regularly to support my health. I’m grateful for uqora customer service, as they’ve been incredibly helpful in guiding me to choose the right ones. They provide personalized advice based on my needs, making it so much easier to stick to a routine. It's reassuring to know that I’m getting the right nutrients to keep myself feeling at my best. If you're ever unsure about supplements, I definitely recommend reaching out to them

My nephew came down with it on Thursday while he was babysitting my kids, the day before we were all leaving my brother's place, and he had it bad. In the TSA precheck line the next morning, my 6-yo son said, "I need to go to the bathroom NOW." We ran, and he puked. I was dreading the longest day of my life....but he turned out to be fine. I think he was just overheated from all the outside-weather clothes that my wife made him wear to an airport.
Everyone is still healthy for a running start into the petri dish called school tomorrow...

When I was first in Practice (1988) it made national news when there was a case of Measles. Now we can just eliminate the agency tracking the cases and they will go away. Progress?

Anyone else ever been magnesium deficient? Just spent 4-5 hours in the ER to get that diagnosis.
Guess I have to stop taking PPIs for heartburn.

My wife takes PPIs and a magnesium supplement to combat that.

That was my first thought, but the more I read about long-term use of PPIs, the more I think a switch to an H2 antagonist would be worth a try. I've taken a PPI every other day or so for years to control my acid reflux, but I've never had any ulcers or ulcerative disorder. I am also a poor CYP2C19 metabolizer, which is why I don't take the PPI every day (and, sidenote, also why most SSRIs don't work for me).
Guess I should get my primary's thoughts on this.

Something else from my little adventure this week that bugged me. So I'm taken back and put in a chair. They do all the stuff I expect - order up a litany of bloodwork and take a sample, order a urinalysis and I went and peed in the cup, they start an IV, etc. Of course the lab results were ready long before the doctor came back to speak with us. However, Epic myChart pushed the results to my account before a doctor had a chance to interpret them and come back to report their findings. Now, I'm generally a rational person, but of course my curiosity got the better of me and I started Googling the lab results 
(who wouldn't when you're sitting there waiting, worrying, and wondering?)
It just seems to me that Epic, or whomever supports the installation of Epic for each hospital, should consider putting a delay on releasing lab results until a doctor has seen and acknowledged them. Would likely be better for patients, particularly those with an anxiety disorder. Fortunately I don't have one, but I can imagine it would drive quite a few people over the edge.

Yes, required by law federally. Imaging is unfortunately not different, it is released as soon as the radiologist reading it. I have had patients look at pretty severe things on their own, even though I follow up nearly every outpatient result with the patient within 24 hours.Something else from my little adventure this week that bugged me.

We cannot even delay genetic diagnosis from going to the patient in all but the most extreme things.
We don't like it...and patients also tend to not like it. I really wish there was a 24 hour, or 5 day delay.

Odd. I have never seen any of my imaging. Just the interpretation
WisconsinWildcard

Well sure, the interpretation is all that a patient will get. But this is a radiologist interpreting things so it may not match the clinical picture or expectations.
For example, I have had patients find out they have multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, etc the moment the report is released instead of giving me until the end of the day to call the patient to talk about the results as the ordering physician.
Additionally, radiologists report significant detail, so there are a lot of things that are benign/normal that sound very scary on a report and are much better relayed by a physician seeing the patient.
