As someone with chronic insomnia, I find it frustrating that doctors don’t take insomnia seriously. Lack of sleep affects our quality of life. Of course, she shouldn’t have taken more than the recommended dosage, but her doctor should have taken her concerns more seriously.
I was so mad when she was told to get CBT from the neurologist. Like, “have you considered not thinking about it?” Because that helps! And now she’s going to live the rest of her life without a colon.
@@prettygneissproductionsyeah for real, cbt for insomnia literally won’t do anything unless your insomnia is related to anxiety or something like that.
She self medicated BEYOND recommended dosages. READ THE LABELS. Also most people have. Bowel movement every 2-3 days. 9 days later !!! Sepsis is a killer if not diagnosed fast enough.
Me too. I remember reading in this forum how the majority of the writers wrote how this drugs kept them up for days, and they recovered after that. I replied "I much rather have taken something and have temporary insomnia than my brain curse. If I sleep 4-5 hours, lucky me because cannot make up for those hours, tomorrow I may sleep less or the same. I rarely sleep 7 hours. For those writing, it ends after your drug-use, for me it is a never ending bittersweet nightmare." No one replied to my comment.
@@jenchan967 but it true though, vaccines cause autism, cancer and other complications. I read a very convincing paper about it and it is in the bible and Qur'an too. Feel free to read it in psalms 69:420 and you'll see the real truth behind the evils of Western medicine.
Talia Morgan seriously! And this woman was a lawyer too, you’d think she’d be smart enough to know that. Or at the very least, smart enough to read the list of side effects/drug contraindications... Or at the very, _very_ least, smart enough to consult a doctor if she was too lazy to do the research herself....cuz I mean lezbehonest, it’s not like she didn’t have the time (what with the whole _being awake for days at a time_ thing and all....)
I'm just going to say that the fact that this woman is having SERIOUS issues sleeping, and the neurologist is just like "go gaslight yourself into believing you can sleep" is just wild
@sunmarsh Depends entirely on the cause of the insomnia. There many other illnesses that present with insomnia. Applying a bandaid won't find out the real cause.
@@scruffy-thejanitor I'm not sure what you're trying to say. CBT-i is a treatment with proven long term benefits, period. Regardless of whether it 'cures' the insomnia or not, it's better for you than sleeping pills.
This video deeply disturbs me for a series of reasons: - I’ m a lawyer/attorney - I’ll be 27 years old this year - I have taken quetiapine before - I too struggle with sleeping problems and have tested many supplements - I did use the same type of medication to help me sleep a few years ago (but never took more than the recommended dose) - THE PATIENT’S INITIALS, MAN. I MEAN, LIKE ??? Edit: I’m now 28 and have an intact colon!
When I tell my doctor about my pain, and he ignores me because he's too scared shitless to prescribe anything. I always thank the lawyers that made self medicating not only possible but necessary.
@@shellygardner6410 Surely you can get a new doctor? Not sure how it works where ever you live, but here I can simply find another clinic, and ask to have my care transfered to one of their doctors.
@@MartinFinnerup 7 months ago when I wrote that, I believed in doctors way more than I do now. They allowed governors to tell them what they can and can't prescribe to their patients, and the doctors complied. I know folks younger than me that the hospital has killed.
I had a similar problem. I upped the quetiapine. Doctors told me I was crazy. Turns out I had a pituitary adenoma. You need a special MRI for that, but they could have just done a pituitary panel that whole time. Doctors act like its no big deal if you cant sleep. Its completely disabling and a literal form of torture. It was pretty obvious to me I had a pituitary issue, but they make a lot of money on those sleep clinics. I lost 15 years of my life.
I’m so incredibly sorry. Sleep is one of the basic elements to human health and function. It’s the #1 thing that was examined in my intensive outpatient program (for chronic pain and illness). Adequate sleep is a game changer. I’m so glad you finally figured out what was wrong. And I’m so sorry that it took so long
@@alexwyatt2911 the quetiapine worked, with minimal side effects. It was so hard to get doctors to even consider the possibility. First they refused to do the test, and then when it was found incidentally with a high powered MRI, they tried to tell me it was insignificant. I was gaslit to the end. It made wonder how many people die of fatal drug combinations desperately trying to sleep because of an undiagnosed pituitary disorder. Pituitary adenomas arent that rare. Its just near impossible to find a doctor willing to look for it. They do not show up on regular MRIs and not typically in the standard labs they use. I had to go to a neuro endocrinologist and neuro surgeon who specializes in brain tumors.
"A Woman Couldn't Sleep For 9 Days. The medicine she used to help her sleep..." me: oh dear god, please don't say she bought them from the gas station.
It's probably because I have that WONDERFUL /s disease he mentioned, crohn's, but if I ever go even one day without dumping I'm hightailing my @$$ to the doctor
@@tgbluewolf damn Dude.. Only 12 y/o? Holy crap. I hope you're fine now and meds are keeping the disease in remission. Edit:I should also put up WARNING of a long, long read. By the way, I wasn't just asking out of curiosity. You see, I've had stomach issues since my childhood as well(I'm 22 now, and in 3rd year of college). Like, I remember that I used to get diarrhoea at least 3-4 times a year, which seems normal, but on the same diet, sleep schedule, and physical activity, my brother never got diarrhoea that frequently(or ever) . I was also always underweight, still am. On top of that, my digestive system was weird/weak. Like, during the long summer days, if me and bro would take an afternoon nap, he would wake up feeling refreshed, while I would wake up with acidity/bloating/gas/indigestion. The simple cure to this was "don't sleep during the day". Anyhoo, as I reached grade 12, this problem worsened. Now if I slept during the day (although I used to avoid it as much as possible), on waking up, I had to rush to the toilet as whatever I had eaten in the morning /afternoon would sh*t out in a semi digested form. I still didn't pay that much attention to it, as 1. There was no pain whatsoever till then. 2. My academics kept me busy enough to keep my mind diverted from my issues. Then in 2018 I began my first year of college. Still underweight, and attracted to the idea of how many of my peers had started working out(possibly to attract female attention),in my second year I joined a gym as well, along with my skinny af friend. We both bought the same whey protein(optimum nutrition) , and we were both 52kg at 5'9. After abour 2 months, I was both shocked and dismayed. My friend had built up noticeable amount of mass, and went from 52 to 59kg, while I was stuck at 52,with 0 gain in mass, while having same diet. On top of that, my digestive system got wrecked, I couldn't digest that protein. So I bought a lactose free protein, thinking that lactose was the issue. Again, same result. This time digestion worsened further, to the point that I had to stop working out /eating protein. Now I was in a state that before leaving for college in the morning, I had to visit the toilet 4-5 times, used to get tenesmus after eating literally anything, during lunch I would eat my food and in the next lecture I would find myself battling the need to take a sh*t(despite the fact that I had already emptied my bowels multiple times in the morning). This was in later half of 2019. 2020 began. I suffered through these issues(frequent toilet visits, gas, indigestion, mushy stool) during Jan /Feb, and then lockdown began in March and colleges shut down. I finally went to a physician, who told me that it is just IBS caused due to whey protein intolerance and weak digestion, and gave me a few meds (1 antibiotic, 1 probiotic, 1 multivitamin, 1 tablet for ibs). These seemed to have cured my issues for about a month. Until 1 day, in May 2020, I woke up with pain below my chest and in my lower right quadrant on my belly. Rushed to the ER. Doctors suspected appendix(even though the intensity of pain was very, very low, unlike appendix pain which is excruciating) , and I went through an ultrasound,which came clean. For some reason, whenever anyone, be it the doctor or the ultrasound technician, was touching my belly in the RLQ region, I would get cramps(think how a kid's belly stiffens up when you tickle them, just multiply that reaction 10x). Since my usg was clean, doctor just gave me a few meds, thinking it's a stomach infection, and discharged me. The following 3 days, I got black stool. Went back to the doctor. He admitted me again. Ct scan of belly and endoscopy were done. CT scan revealed nothing, everything was fine. Endoscopy reveleaed mild erosive gastritis. I was given the appropriate meds and got discharged. By now my weight had reduced to 45 kg. Anyway, after my discharge, things seemed fine for a bit, but 2 things weren't going away. 1. That rlq pain and cramps. 2. Fatigue and weakness. That pain wasn't debilitating or too harsh, so I just ignored it, and did the same with the feeling of weakness and fatigue. My weight wasn't increasing either. But I still didn't pay much attention, as I now had to sit through online lectures. However, in the evening, due to my fatigue, I started doing the thing I used to avoid at any cost.. And that's sleeping during the day. This wrecked me even more. I started to get heartburn and indigestion all the time, even though I was on daily ppi's and sucralfate syrups. RLQ pain and cramps were still there,hell, they're still here. Went back, this time, to a different gastro, who recommended a colonoscopy. And now here we are. Debating whether I should get one (I'm scared of it). My weight is now 43kg. Just like you, I sometimes get greenish hue in my stool(which is mushy) despite not eating anything green the previous day. Before defecating, I get pain in my belly, as if my intestines are hurting due to the passage of stool. Milk doesn't get digested anymore and I don't eat eggs/meat(religious reasons). Even though I'm on an entirely bland diet(boiled quinoa, oats, porridge, and few fruits like papaya/pomegranate(I spit the seeds of the pomegranate out)), I still get slight burning while defecating. Sleeping during the day during the months of September /October has aggravated my Gerd issues and now anything too sour fks up my throat. Staying home all this time and Googling my symptoms up, posting them on reddit, have all led me to believe that it indeed is crohn's. I mean, if it were ibs, ibs meds should've worked. If it was something else, like trauma to my intestines due to weight lifting, it would've shown up on ct. If it was ulcerative colitis, at least once I would've shat red blood, which I haven't yet,not even once. My stool either looks yellowish, or slightly green/dark. The only other disease that was diagnosed was swelling in my mesenteric lymph nodes, which the doctors dismissed as being nothing. However, a friend of mine (who's pretty healthy) told me he got mesenteric lymph swelling once(he used to eat a lot of junk food), and the pain he got was extremely strong, resembling that of appendix pain, but his ct showed lymph node swelling and thus appropriate meds were given, and he's fine now. That didn't happen with me, my pain is mild, and spread throughout my abdomen, with a slightly higher intensity being in the rlq region . If I try to flex my abdominal muscles, it hurts, if I cough or sneeze too hard, it hurts and I get cramps . There's tenesmus all the time, weight isn't increasing, stool doesn't look normal,I sometimes get short bursts of piercing pain in my rectum. There's gurgling sounds coming from my belly all the time. Guess I should man up and get that colonoscopy done. I wanted to ask you, are we under some numbing agent while going through a colonoscopy? Coz the thought of it is really scaring me. Lastly, I'm sorry that it's been a long, long read, but there was nowhere else I could converse with someone who's been struck with such a disease that even the most evil person shouldn't get.
@@AJ-jq3hm Oh damn, I'm so sorry you've been going through all that! Definitely get the colonoscopy--yes, sedation is used; there's different levels, from conscious but relaxed to asleep, so just tell your doctor that you're nervous and if you'd prefer to be asleep, and they should work with that. It sounds like stress triggers symptoms with you, which is definitely common with me and others I've met who have crohn's. Symptom-wise, I forgot (somehow) to mention that one of my symptoms at diagnosis was actually constipation and diarrhea at the same time--yup, that's possible! I'd have to strain, but when it did come out it was watery. My gastro specialist said that that's common with inflammatory bowel diseases. Thanks for your support, except for flares I've been relatively asymptomatic from day-to-day, though I do have some complications so I'm still not where I'd like to be, but I recently started a new med that hopefully should do the trick. After 20 years I'm almost indifferent to it, though there's always moments when I'm just fed up with my body controlling my life. Sucks that crohn's can affect literally your entire digestive system from the mouth to the anus, it's like Russian roulette with your health. I'll be praying for you, and if you're okay doing so please let me know how it goes. Having someone who understands what you're going through is a huge part of healing.

I have SEVERE Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. I've had my entire colon removed, terminal ileum, rectal bulb, and right at twelve feet of my intestine removed. So I have just 34% of my digestive system left. Because of this I have an Ileostomy and it has been 13 years since I had the operations to remove so much from my abdomen. It has been a terribly difficult road to travel, but I do the best I can. So any time I see medical videos that talk about any autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Osteoporosis, and others, all of which I have, I can totally relate and it always makes me sad to see others suffering from such awful diseases. My sister died from complications of Crohn's Disease. She was just 49 years old when she suddenly died. 😔
I'm sorry for the difficult road you've traveled and the loss of your sister! Crohn's is a scary disease! I know a guy that has it, diagnosed Senior in high school and their son has it also in pre teen age! Both were lucky enough to be caught in the early stages but STILL quite a painful road! I have fibromyalgia, spastic colon and "JUST" arthritis! Whatever that means! Among other things and it has taken over my life for what everyone considers normal. It's debilitating! My grandpa had a perforated ulcer of his stomach and had half of his stomach removed and a few inches of his upper intestine. His diet intake was completely changed, mainly bc of his stomach but also bc the few inches of intense removed. Every inch of it is that important. In older years he had to take B 12 shots monthly to stay well. I feel for anyone that has to deal with an autoimmune disease, especially those who go undiagnosed and unheard for years, laughed at and scorned! While these things are difficult at times more than others! I've never really taken anything for granted but it makes you appreciate every single thing that you do have even that much more of a blessing! I wish you good health in your journey ahead! Much love happiness and blessings! 💞
This is why I will only buy over the counter medicines at the same place where I get my prescriptions filled. They will let me know about any potential drug interactions.
@Tsumigami Mayu Nothing wrong with double checking, you never know if someone at the pharmacy missed something. Plus nowadays there are so many great online resources for checking out potential drug interactions.
This is why I don't buy ANY over the counter medications without consulting my doctor. This is why I only use prescription medications only in accordance with the required dosage and only for the time period recommended by my doctor. This is why, if I do use any over the counter medications, I use the bare minimum dosage and times needed for the results needed. And despite this, or perhaps in addition, due to the restrictions now placed upon me by 14CFR91, I no longer take ANY over the counter medications.
really? they do check that when you purchase over-the-counter medicines? How will they identify you on their system if you are purchasing only a over-the-counter med separately? I never thought its possible without opting in for some sort of zero-privacy setting for yourself (like identifying you by your face, credit card number or your discount cad).
It was stuffed in a bottle and put on a shelf in the backroom when he signed the paperwork for the job. After the 10 years of work he decides to quit and went to personal to get it back only to find it was lost the first year in.
Emu, this case gives a perfect explanation for why hospitals have to know about everything you're taking, including over-the-counter "supplements". Her chemist/druggist/pharmacist should've cautioned her about risks attached to the 'sleep' tabs. Thank you for all of the wonderfully informative videos you post to educate us about the dangers of products many of us use for self-medication. Cheers. 🌹
That's everywhere, my point is, you don't NEED to, and clearly she didn't think it was something she needed to ask about. I meant it's not like a prescription where you HAVE to talk to someone in order to get it.
They can't hold everyone's hand!! It say's right on the bottle exacrly how to (and, not to) take it...Problem is no alternatives are available...If they just allowed low dose ambien otc (like, in the UK); We wouldn't have these problems...Allow it behind the coumter like pseudophedrine, and allow 10 or 15 2.5mg a month...It's just crazy that the drugs that can harm us the most are available on the shelf, while the truly necessary drugs need a permission slip...Yes. Many medications need restrictions( obviously), but others should be well enough known by now...Many coumtries offer low dose co-codemol otc, for "a little more than a headache, but not enough to bother the GP with..." "I would like 10 2mg ambien, please...? I haven't slept for 2 days???" "The gut rot is on the aisle...", "I don't have allergies??? I need sleep!!!"
@@yukiokuma8983 You SHOULD, but unfortunately, most people don't when they buy drugs available over the counter. Sad to think how most people on medications are likely very ignorant about what they are taking.
Dude, being awake for 24 hours is tough. Being awake for 48 is insane. I once went 4 full days without sleep and even thinking about it makes me anxious.
I went a week once, when I was 17. I didn't want to sleep though. My mum was ill ( dying) and I was scared to sleep in case she died while I was asleep. I'd doze off for literally 5 minutes and jerk awake and panic.

I have severe chronic insomnia- back when I self medicated it with alcohol I went 70 days without proper sleep (only knocked myself out with booze for 4 hours every night). It ended up with me developing mania/psychosis like state. It is not a fun illness, I take anti-psych medication for it now. (Last line treatment)
Doctor: We have removed a part of your colon. Patient: You removed part of my colon? So I only have some of my colon now? Doctor: That is correct; you now have a Semicolon.
As someone who’s had very bad bouts with insomnia, I can understand the desperation. When I’d not slept at all in 3 days, I was seriously considering asking to go to the ER. Sleep that night never felt better.
This is unrelated to sleeping but I never ate well growing up, and one time I had a different problem when I was 15, where all of a sudden I was always hungry and never felt satisfied, and I was scared to go to sleep every night because I’d wake up 1-2 times in the night hungry, at the most unpredictable times. I would have anxiety attacks often, and one night I started begging my mom to take me to the hospital if I couldn’t sleep after that night. My sleep ended up being fine that night, but the hunger still continued for a couple months. We scheduled a GI scan appointment to see what was wrong, and a few weeks before my blood and urine tests were taken to see if I possibly had diabetes or any problems with my thyroid. All tests came back normal, and there was nothing wrong with my GI tract. But, I visited a physician to go over my results and ask for advice. We went over my eating habits, (they were horrible, I barely ate cause I never had much of an appetite but it never bothered me before), and she said that I needed to start eating more proteins and fibers. And then, she went to press on my stomach, and she said, “You’re constipated. You’re packed all the way up!” It turns out that I was quite literally full of shit, and I needed to start taking MiraLax for a day without eating solid foods to cleanse all the shit out. I also needed to start eating foods that were actually filling, instead of eating side meals that I had previously done for many years. It was really hard to do because I’m an extremely picky eater and don’t like any kind of meat, so finding filling foods was a big challenge at the start. But, in a few months I got on the right track with some new foods, and although I don’t eat much meat now, I eat much more healthy foods now and I’ve learned my lesson 😅
Insomnia is no laughing matter. I went 6 days and nites without sleep. By that point I started having hallucinations, couldn’t even talk to form words much less sentences. Too many crazy things happened to text here. Yes I should have gone to my doctor sooner. I wouldn’t listen to my husband who begged me to see the doctor. I was going insane. Finally and luckily my husband got me to the doctor. Received medication. I slept 15 hours. But it took weeks for me to get back to normal. That happened 5 years ago and to this day I still am afraid if I cannot sleep for 1nite. Insomnia is no laughing matter.
Doctor may not of helped. Doctors don't take insomnia seriously and its getting hard and harder to get sleeping pills like ambian. I didn't have full night sleep for 10 years until I found a doctor that took me seriously and wasn't afraid to write real sleeping meds.
Marcia Bacus: I'm so glad you got help. It's incredibly difficult to get people who've never experienced serious sleep deprivation to understand how terrifying & disabling it is. For more than 10,000 days & nights I've lived like this. It's always a relief to hear other people describe having the same symptoms I have. I'm sometimes unsure whether what I'm experiencing is "real" or not. I wasn't sure if I really lose the ability to speak/understand my native language or if it was just something I dreamed.
green bird I feel your pain. The hallucinations were so bad i was terrified. I don’t remember my actions on the 6th nite. My family told me I became violent,talking to people that weren’t there and actually talking to chairs. When I spoke it was only in numbers. It took me months to begin feeling normal and realizing the hallucinations were not real. I truly hope you can find a doctor that is able to help you.
I have the same experience, when I dont was able to sleep at all for three nights I started to have a lot of hallucinations, I get into psychosis and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. In the hospital I get sleepmedication and after a long nice sleep my hallucinations disappear. I could not talk properly, nobody understod what I was trying to say. Sleep is so important for the brain.
This happened to my boyfriend's grandma. She had constipation for a very long time, but didn't tell anyone. And one day she suddenly started feeling nauseous, stomach pain and weakness. We called ambulance twice, both times they just gave her some pain relief and left. Later we had to take her to ER ourselves. It was during covid lockdowns, and they weren't letting people in the hospital. So she was admitted for the night. I don't know why they didn't scan here stomach immediately and had booked it for the next morning, but after few hours of admission, her colon had ruptured. She had septic shock and very hard surgery. Because she was so old, and she had pre-existing conditions, she was in medically induced coma for a week or so. Thankfully she recovered, but those 5 weeks were very scary. She had her colon removed and has a stomia bag. But after that time she is a bit demented. She doesn't remember recent events, sometimes doesn't remember her children and grandchildren, always speaks about her childhood and asks for her parents. She forgets that she has stomia bag, and tries to rip it off. It's really heart breaking.

@@polomare2027 You don't need to get a prescription. You can just call your doctor. It's free and they'll tell you what to take. Or you can self-medicate, it's fine.
Most of the drugs that the doctors give you are given with a Rush Job exam. I'm a disabled vet and my health was going down hill for thirty years. The doctors gave me drugs for everything and wouldn't listen to the patient (me). They said that because when I work hard and then spend weeks not being able to work that I had bipolar disorders. It turned out, after hundreds of hospital visits, we found out that my problem was a broken staple in my diaphragm from a botched surgery years ago. When I would lift heavy objects and twisted my abdominal section, the broken staple would cut me and cause internal bleeding. The drugs that the doctors gave me were all wrong and were all bad. These drugs caused me to suffer tremendously, I gained tremendous amounts of weight, my brain stopped working to the point that I couldn't read or work on my website. I couldn't keep my voice at a steady volume or steady rate, so the doctors gave me more drugs and more drugs and more drugs as I am finding out the VA is doing to all of the patients. So, one day I told the doctors to screw off, I'm not taking their drugs. In over twenty years of going to the VA, none of the doctors ever gave me a real exam, it was just a rush to get me on drugs and out of their office so that they can make their thousand dollars a day. After stopping the drugs, my whole life started coming back. I am now reading and writing as you can see here. I took some of the drugs that were listed in this video and I also had a slow colon. Now, I am eating green smoothies and taking probiotics and Krill oil. Everything is coming back to me except the time and money that I lost in all of those years. I'm working really hard to gain muscle strength again and trying to be able to walk any distance. With the drugs that they gave me, never once did they follow any check list. They never reviewed the side effects of the drugs, but they did give me more drugs for the side effects of the drugs that they have already given me. It was torture and criminal. Why do pilots use checklist and what is the professional difference between pilots and doctors. Pilots, airplane mechanics and avionics technicians use check list and the Aviation Industry is the safest industry in the world. Doctors do not use check list and medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. The medical mistakes that are listed as the third leading cause of death are the mistakes that have been proven in a court of law, the rest of the mistakes are burred. Doctors need to use extensive check list before they administer a drug just to set a baseline, then after they administer the drugs, they need to go through the exact same check list to see what kinds of side effects were caused by the drugs. I have very little respect for doctors, they are big headed and in a huge rush. Doctors MUST USE CHECKLIST and our lives, all of our lives will be much better. C. Jeff Dyrek, Disabled vet. Oh, I lost my business and everything because of these drugs, they are drugs and drugs are drugs just like street drugs.
I've had some trouble with insomnia lately and it's really scary where your brain starts to go and how paranoid you get when you become desperate for sleep.

In my case, it was due to a traumatic experience one of my students had in front of me, and it really shook me up in a big way because I adore my students. I didn't sleep properly for about 2 months, and when I did, I had awful nightmares. 4 years on I'm back to normal, and my (now graduated) student is just fine, it wasn't anything gory or... well, y'know. She's in a good job and succeeding, which I'm thrilled about. I eventually turned to Nytol (Diphenhydramine) to help me sleep, but I don't use it any more. As stated, don't abuse that stuff. Always follow the stated dose.
People don't have faith in doctors due to professional negligence, many doctors just don't have the knowledge or experience, I mean some doctors are working for the pay cheque. Another one is lack of apathy. For people to be sick / unwell and don't even think about visiting the GP is telling of their experience. And trust me there are countless people who just don't see any point in seeing a Doctor. Not to say there isn't good doctors out there, I was lucky to have both good and bad and it was quite enlightening, im mean doctors are people after all they come in good and bad like everyone else.
@@abseiduk so true! I have a chronic condition for the last 10 years and wasn't diagnosed until this year. I then was given medication that limited my mobility / ability to self-care. When I complained they blamed it on my psychological state. I stopped taking the medication and am now creating my own successful treatment plan based on research, constant monitoring, and lab test I get out of the country. It's still cheaper than seeing all my doctors here in USA.
I love when you say "take care of yourself and be well" because I can tell you mean it. It's so nice cause people don't say that stuff to each other anymore
The titles sound clickbaity and they also are a little clickbait in a way. Most people reading the title of this video for example will think it implies direct causation ("What? Not sleeping for 9 days did that to her!?"), but it is in fact always indirect (The lack of sleep led her to consume increasing amounts of medicine in various combinations in an attempt of get some rest, leading to the presented issue). Another example is the "A grandma ate 1 pound of chocolate in 6 hours, this is what happened to her brain". People will click of the video wanting to know why chocolate is bad for your brain, since this is what the title implies, but in reality (Spoilers for that video I guess?) the brain problems were caused by the elderly woman becoming constipated because of the excessive chocolate intake and rupturing a blood vessel in her brain while forcing on the toilet. So yeah, I consider these clickbait, but here the content with worth the click, so I don't complain.
Still very much clickbait. These kinds of videos thrive by lumping two, seemingly unrelated, things together to hook you into wanting to know how one could possibly lead to the other. Example: "A man never masturbated. This is what happened to his face." See? Now you want to know out how could premise A possibly lead to the conclusion.
@@MrMasterBoop uhm. First I became an adult. When I was at uni, I simply moved out and stayed in the city of my uni. Very good times. Then I started to work and moved into another house with my girlfriend. Not so easy, but I gotta say I have two very very lovely parents, the problem was my brother (blood brother...for me it isn't my bro anymore) he simply ruined the family. However. It may seem a lot of time when you're young, but it isn't. If you are in trouble go to a psychologist, I wish I did it before, it may seem like a stigma but it's the opposite. And in the meantime focus on taking only the best parts of your family, so you will bring them with you when you will go away. Oh, and learn forgiveness. It's important so you don't become like them.
I have MS, and I take some of the meds you discuss in this video. I stay on top of bowel issues with lots of water, Miralax, stool softener and prune juice. When you're on certain medications, it's imperative to keep things moving smoothly!!
i used to have severe anxiety that would disrupt proper bowel movements. I got used to drinking mint tea in the morning (and evening when I had stressful times) and always keep prune juice at home as well as something to acutely take take of anything (just in case) That and eating oats, lentils, more fiber (vegetables and fruits) and flaxseeds rather helped me. Walking and drinking a lot is also important as it supports your bowel movements!
Because of stuff like these medications, I am glad that our pharmacies here (Germany) demand that pharmacists are the ones getting the stuff for you out of their drawers and not you just picking them from the shelves. It gives way more opportunity for the pharmacist to notice that there are colliding effects of medicine, especially if you are a regular customer and have a file with the pharmacy.
My question is, why the hell wasn't this poor woman referred to a sleep doctor? The neurologist basically told her she was crazy by sending her to CBT, and it's a huge cop-out move. She should have been booked for a sleep study ASAP, because that level of chronic insomnia is not normal.
Being referred to CBT isn’t being called crazy, it’s saying I am sorry you can’t sleep, I haven’t found any neurological reasons for it, I am going to send you to therapy to learn coping strategies to help you cope with not sleeping and hopefully teach you to get off to sleep. It’s empathetic and a practice step to try to help. You calling her crazy perpetuates the stigma accompanying mental health problems and is the opposite of empathetic.
@@dianeshelton9592 A psychiatrist (specialist) doing the best *they* know how to treat a disease afflicting an area of medicine they do not specialize in, because "empathy," is not helpful, it is toxic. Shitty arrogant doctors. Also, psychiatrists are fucking useless and can't do anything besides give you things to try. They are a frustrating gatekeeper preventing people from getting the help they need faster. Then again, the entire idea of prescriptions being required to obtain medicine is abominable, so it's not their fault in particular.
Her story in the beginning is practically identical to mine other than the GI issues. I struggle so much with insomnia and no meds have worked long term. I thankfully haven’t choked down fists full of diphenhydramine.
There is a condition called Fatal Familial Insomnia in which a person slowly develops insomnia to the point where they can't sleep at all until they die. It's a medical condition that runs in families. You should look up some cases on youtube, they're very interesting
@@com.passionatebitch only a couple familys in italy have that gene that wont let them sleep and it goes through their dna. So dont worry at all. And to let you know you cant die from lack of sleep unless you get chemicals that prevent you from sleeping.

Yikes! This is my story waiting to happen! I've had insomnia all my life (I'm now 65). Starting in my 30s, I started abusing alcohol to be able to sleep (in the form of passing out). About 15 years ago, my doctor started proscribing quietapine and a generic lunesta. This was almost a life-changing event. For the first time in my life, I was able to have some regular sleep schedule. However some nights, I would "top off" my meds with some of the nameless sleep/pain med that comes in the purple label that begins with Zzzz..... I guess I will be a lot careful about dosages now.
Would you mind explaining what quietapine & lunesta is? Is that a medication you take before you sleep? My husband suffered from insomnia for 3 years (about 2 years ago) he still suffers to this day & he has lost all hope. I wanna recommend this to him.

Just came across this video. I have Crohn’s disease and have been taking Benadryl to help me sleep. When you said Diphenhydramine I went and researched it. I think I’ll stop taking it. Thanks so much for the information! I have a gastroenterologist, a rheumatologist and general practitioner and not one said there could be a potential problem
Patricia Cobb please consult your doctor first. Doctors know what they do because they studied hard for that... you can change your doctor if you have doubts...
She's lucky to be alive. Here's someone who'd no doubt tell her clients to always consult her and share all information when they have a legal problem. Yet she overdosed and suffered awful symptoms because she did not seek medical advice. One of the most underrated skills in life is knowing when you are out of your depth and asking for help when it's needed.
If she actually overdosed on DPH she would have been seeing spiders crawling on the walls and shafow people. And I'm not joking or exagerating. Those are the effects of DPH
@@magusperde365 Yeah, if you take grams. There's stages to it you know. An overdose, IIRC, is anything over 100mg. Heart won't blow up from 800mg of caffeine either despite it being an OD. 2g? Uh, maybe.
She did seek medical advice and the doc only recommended CBT - things like guided relaxation and keeping your room cool, no effective solutions for insomnia that severe. I think that doc is entirely culpable in this for not taking her seriously.
This video may have saved my life; I’ve been having insomnia for a long time (at least a year now) and have been taking diphenhydramine to help but I’ve been needing to increase the dosage more lately because it’s less effective…. I’m going to stop self medicating now and see a doctor. Thank you.

Amazingly informative. As a 7th grader, I genuinely believe you have that special ability of simplifying such a complex subject to an extent where even a 12 year old like me can understand. Happy Medical Monday!
A little bit of a personal story, so read at your own will. When I was a child I had a very slow metabolism and suffered from chronic constipation. Due to the shit hurting bad to come out, I developed extreme anxiety to pooping and during my worst time would spend up to 14 days holding in my poop. This went on for two years and during these years I also had problems sleeping (insomnia), nausea, stomach pain, and depression. My colon became so thin, it was like paper and I didn't have much feeling there either anymore. Although I don't get strong bowel movements, I can go almost every day now and am much better. Watching this video made me feel lucky to be alive and come out of that experience safe.
@@Erik-iz1rs i hated pooping too. i guess it was uncomfortable so i always held it in. of course, the skidmarks in underwear were inevitable. i think a lot of kids hold it in for some reason. eventually i guess you grow out of it once you figure out you aint gonna avoid pooping

This guy's cadence is flawless and he explains what is going on so even someone without the background of medicine can understand. Thank you for your videos!
10:03 Input from a pharmacy student: the interaction between benadryl and quetiapine is usually not clinically significant. This obviously changes in overdose amounts of benadryl, but no health care professional could’ve reasonably predicted that she would take such amounts. This also highlights the importance of consulting a professional (such as a pharmacist) when you intend to take new drugs whilst also taking other drugs, and to follow their directives/the label.
misses elise diphenhydramine overdose usually depends on the persons weight and is much lower than 5g. The source I read is that the MLD (minimum lethal dose, the lowest dose someone has died at) is 10.1mg/kg
Dude! You are a doctor that all doctors should be like. You remind me of Michio Kaku, a physicist that can use words in physics and concurrently explain those words for lay people to understand. It's a talent! And, you've got it too!
I have taken up to 10 to get to sleep when I couldn’t get my ambien or lunesta. Your body builds a tolerance to it after a while. Never had anything weird with it except for having really bad restless legs.
I'd say the title still is kinda clickbait, because her megacolon wasn't caused by not being able to sleep for 9 days, it was caused by the combination of medications she was taking. Not that I have a problem with it.
I've had chronic insomnia for most of my life and I had one experience with medication for it that was so negative (ambien) that I basically swore off trying to medicate it away. I find that it's manageable to some degree through lifestyle choices - exercise, cutting out complex carbohydrates and limiting things like screen time an hour or two before I want to sleep. I'll be honest here - I think a lot of problems that people have come from poor lifestyles and that medication isn't really a fix when your root cause is something like your diet or (lack of) physical activity.

As someone with chronic insomnia, I find it frustrating that doctors don’t take insomnia seriously. Lack of sleep affects our quality of life. Of course, she shouldn’t have taken more than the recommended dosage, but her doctor should have taken her concerns more seriously.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has a really good success rate, better than sleeping pills. But it’s a long term solution, not short term.

I had a similar problem. I upped the quetiapine. Doctors told me I was crazy. Turns out I had a pituitary adenoma. You need a special MRI for that, but they could have just done a pituitary panel that whole time. Doctors act like its no big deal if you cant sleep. Its completely disabling and a literal form of torture. It was pretty obvious to me I had a pituitary issue, but they make a lot of money on those sleep clinics. I lost 15 years of my life.
I’m so incredibly sorry. Sleep is one of the basic elements to human health and function. It’s the #1 thing that was examined in my intensive outpatient program (for chronic pain and illness). Adequate sleep is a game changer. I’m so glad you finally figured out what was wrong. And I’m so sorry that it took so long
@@alexwyatt2911 the quetiapine worked, with minimal side effects. It was so hard to get doctors to even consider the possibility. First they refused to do the test, and then when it was found incidentally with a high powered MRI, they tried to tell me it was insignificant. I was gaslit to the end.
It made wonder how many people die of fatal drug combinations desperately trying to sleep because of an undiagnosed pituitary disorder. Pituitary adenomas arent that rare. Its just near impossible to find a doctor willing to look for it. They do not show up on regular MRIs and not typically in the standard labs they use. I had to go to a neuro endocrinologist and neuro surgeon who specializes in brain tumors.
Insomnia is pretty terrifying.
Tell me about it!!!
What is the ideal treatment for pituitary adenoma??

It's probably because I have that WONDERFUL /s disease he mentioned, crohn's, but if I ever go even one day without dumping I'm hightailing my @$$ to the doctor
@@tgbluewolf hello.. What were the first symptoms you noticed before you got diagnosed with crohn's?
@@tgbluewolf damn Dude.. Only 12 y/o? Holy crap. I hope you're fine now and meds are keeping the disease in remission.
Edit:I should also put up WARNING of a long, long read.
By the way, I wasn't just asking out of curiosity.
You see, I've had stomach issues since my childhood as well(I'm 22 now, and in 3rd year of college).
Like, I remember that I used to get diarrhoea at least 3-4 times a year, which seems normal, but on the same diet, sleep schedule, and physical activity, my brother never got diarrhoea that frequently(or ever) .
I was also always underweight, still am.
On top of that, my digestive system was weird/weak. Like, during the long summer days, if me and bro would take an afternoon nap, he would wake up feeling refreshed, while I would wake up with acidity/bloating/gas/indigestion. The simple cure to this was "don't sleep during the day".
Anyhoo, as I reached grade 12, this problem worsened. Now if I slept during the day (although I used to avoid it as much as possible), on waking up, I had to rush to the toilet as whatever I had eaten in the morning /afternoon would sh*t out in a semi digested form.
I still didn't pay that much attention to it, as
1. There was no pain whatsoever till then.
2. My academics kept me busy enough to keep my mind diverted from my issues.
Then in 2018 I began my first year of college. Still underweight, and attracted to the idea of how many of my peers had started working out(possibly to attract female attention),in my second year I joined a gym as well, along with my skinny af friend.
We both bought the same whey protein(optimum nutrition) , and we were both 52kg at 5'9.
After abour 2 months, I was both shocked and dismayed.
My friend had built up noticeable amount of mass, and went from 52 to 59kg, while I was stuck at 52,with 0 gain in mass, while having same diet.
On top of that, my digestive system got wrecked, I couldn't digest that protein.
So I bought a lactose free protein, thinking that lactose was the issue.
Again, same result. This time digestion worsened further, to the point that I had to stop working out /eating protein.
Now I was in a state that before leaving for college in the morning, I had to visit the toilet 4-5 times, used to get tenesmus after eating literally anything, during lunch I would eat my food and in the next lecture I would find myself battling the need to take a sh*t(despite the fact that I had already emptied my bowels multiple times in the morning).
This was in later half of 2019.
2020 began. I suffered through these issues(frequent toilet visits, gas, indigestion, mushy stool) during Jan /Feb, and then lockdown began in March and colleges shut down. I finally went to a physician, who told me that it is just IBS caused due to whey protein intolerance and weak digestion, and gave me a few meds (1 antibiotic, 1 probiotic, 1 multivitamin, 1 tablet for ibs).
These seemed to have cured my issues for about a month.
Until 1 day, in May 2020, I woke up with pain below my chest and in my lower right quadrant on my belly. Rushed to the ER. Doctors suspected appendix(even though the intensity of pain was very, very low, unlike appendix pain which is excruciating) , and I went through an ultrasound,which came clean.
For some reason, whenever anyone, be it the doctor or the ultrasound technician, was touching my belly in the RLQ region, I would get cramps(think how a kid's belly stiffens up when you tickle them, just multiply that reaction 10x).
Since my usg was clean, doctor just gave me a few meds, thinking it's a stomach infection, and discharged me.
The following 3 days, I got black stool.
Went back to the doctor. He admitted me again. Ct scan of belly and endoscopy were done.
CT scan revealed nothing, everything was fine.
Endoscopy reveleaed mild erosive gastritis.
I was given the appropriate meds and got discharged. By now my weight had reduced to 45 kg.
Anyway, after my discharge, things seemed fine for a bit, but 2 things weren't going away.
1. That rlq pain and cramps.
2. Fatigue and weakness.
That pain wasn't debilitating or too harsh, so I just ignored it, and did the same with the feeling of weakness and fatigue. My weight wasn't increasing either. But I still didn't pay much attention, as I now had to sit through online lectures. However, in the evening, due to my fatigue, I started doing the thing I used to avoid at any cost.. And that's sleeping during the day.
This wrecked me even more. I started to get heartburn and indigestion all the time, even though I was on daily ppi's and sucralfate syrups.
RLQ pain and cramps were still there,hell, they're still here.
Went back, this time, to a different gastro, who recommended a colonoscopy.
And now here we are. Debating whether I should get one (I'm scared of it).
My weight is now 43kg.
Just like you, I sometimes get greenish hue in my stool(which is mushy) despite not eating anything green the previous day.
Before defecating, I get pain in my belly, as if my intestines are hurting due to the passage of stool.
Milk doesn't get digested anymore and I don't eat eggs/meat(religious reasons).
Even though I'm on an entirely bland diet(boiled quinoa, oats, porridge, and few fruits like papaya/pomegranate(I spit the seeds of the pomegranate out)), I still get slight burning while defecating.
Sleeping during the day during the months of September /October has aggravated my Gerd issues and now anything too sour fks up my throat.
Staying home all this time and Googling my symptoms up, posting them on reddit, have all led me to believe that it indeed is crohn's.
I mean, if it were ibs, ibs meds should've worked.
If it was something else, like trauma to my intestines due to weight lifting, it would've shown up on ct.
If it was ulcerative colitis, at least once I would've shat red blood, which I haven't yet,not even once.
My stool either looks yellowish, or slightly green/dark.
The only other disease that was diagnosed was swelling in my mesenteric lymph nodes, which the doctors dismissed as being nothing.
However, a friend of mine (who's pretty healthy) told me he got mesenteric lymph swelling once(he used to eat a lot of junk food), and the pain he got was extremely strong, resembling that of appendix pain, but his ct showed lymph node swelling and thus appropriate meds were given, and he's fine now.
That didn't happen with me, my pain is mild, and spread throughout my abdomen, with a slightly higher intensity being in the rlq region . If I try to flex my abdominal muscles, it hurts, if I cough or sneeze too hard, it hurts and I get cramps .
There's tenesmus all the time, weight isn't increasing, stool doesn't look normal,I sometimes get short bursts of piercing pain in my rectum.
There's gurgling sounds coming from my belly all the time.
Guess I should man up and get that colonoscopy done.
I wanted to ask you, are we under some numbing agent while going through a colonoscopy? Coz the thought of it is really scaring me.
Lastly, I'm sorry that it's been a long, long read, but there was nowhere else I could converse with someone who's been struck with such a disease that even the most evil person shouldn't get.
@@AJ-jq3hm Oh damn, I'm so sorry you've been going through all that! Definitely get the colonoscopy--yes, sedation is used; there's different levels, from conscious but relaxed to asleep, so just tell your doctor that you're nervous and if you'd prefer to be asleep, and they should work with that.
It sounds like stress triggers symptoms with you, which is definitely common with me and others I've met who have crohn's.
Symptom-wise, I forgot (somehow) to mention that one of my symptoms at diagnosis was actually constipation and diarrhea at the same time--yup, that's possible! I'd have to strain, but when it did come out it was watery. My gastro specialist said that that's common with inflammatory bowel diseases.
Thanks for your support, except for flares I've been relatively asymptomatic from day-to-day, though I do have some complications so I'm still not where I'd like to be, but I recently started a new med that hopefully should do the trick. After 20 years I'm almost indifferent to it, though there's always moments when I'm just fed up with my body controlling my life. Sucks that crohn's can affect literally your entire digestive system from the mouth to the anus, it's like Russian roulette with your health.
I'll be praying for you, and if you're okay doing so please let me know how it goes. Having someone who understands what you're going through is a huge part of healing.

I have SEVERE Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. I've had my entire colon removed, terminal ileum, rectal bulb, and right at twelve feet of my intestine removed. So I have just 34% of my digestive system left. Because of this I have an Ileostomy and it has been 13 years since I had the operations to remove so much from my abdomen. It has been a terribly difficult road to travel, but I do the best I can. So any time I see medical videos that talk about any autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Osteoporosis, and others, all of which I have, I can totally relate and it always makes me sad to see others suffering from such awful diseases. My sister died from complications of Crohn's Disease. She was just 49 years old when she suddenly died. 😔
❤
I'm sorry for the difficult road you've traveled and the loss of your sister! Crohn's is a scary disease! I know a guy that has it, diagnosed Senior in high school and their son has it also in pre teen age! Both were lucky enough to be caught in the early stages but STILL quite a painful road! I have fibromyalgia, spastic colon and "JUST" arthritis! Whatever that means! Among other things and it has taken over my life for what everyone considers normal. It's debilitating! My grandpa had a perforated ulcer of his stomach and had half of his stomach removed and a few inches of his upper intestine. His diet intake was completely changed, mainly bc of his stomach but also bc the few inches of intense removed. Every inch of it is that important. In older years he had to take B 12 shots monthly to stay well. I feel for anyone that has to deal with an autoimmune disease, especially those who go undiagnosed and unheard for years, laughed at and scorned! While these things are difficult at times more than others! I've never really taken anything for granted but it makes you appreciate every single thing that you do have even that much more of a blessing! I wish you good health in your journey ahead! Much love happiness and blessings! 💞
This is why I will only buy over the counter medicines at the same place where I get my prescriptions filled. They will let me know about any potential drug interactions.
@Tsumigami Mayu Nothing wrong with double checking, you never know if someone at the pharmacy missed something. Plus nowadays there are so many great online resources for checking out potential drug interactions.
But those healthcare people would not have known she was over medicating!
This is why I don't buy ANY over the counter medications without consulting my doctor.
This is why I only use prescription medications only in accordance with the required dosage and only for the time period recommended by my doctor.
This is why, if I do use any over the counter medications, I use the bare minimum dosage and times needed for the results needed.
And despite this, or perhaps in addition, due to the restrictions now placed upon me by 14CFR91, I no longer take ANY over the counter medications.
really? they do check that when you purchase over-the-counter medicines? How will they identify you on their system if you are purchasing only a over-the-counter med separately? I never thought its possible without opting in for some sort of zero-privacy setting for yourself (like identifying you by your face, credit card number or your discount cad).
Kaylee F, you think so? That's only going to happen if you ask your pharmacist to check.

You don't speak to a pharmacist when you buy something off the shelf....
@@Absbabs88 you can tho. at my pharmacy there's a desk for consultations.
That's everywhere, my point is, you don't NEED to, and clearly she didn't think it was something she needed to ask about. I meant it's not like a prescription where you HAVE to talk to someone in order to get it.
They can't hold everyone's hand!! It say's right on the bottle exacrly how to (and, not to) take it...Problem is no alternatives are available...If they just allowed low dose ambien otc (like, in the UK); We wouldn't have these problems...Allow it behind the coumter like pseudophedrine, and allow 10 or 15 2.5mg a month...It's just crazy that the drugs that can harm us the most are available on the shelf, while the truly necessary drugs need a permission slip...Yes. Many medications need restrictions( obviously), but others should be well enough known by now...Many coumtries offer low dose co-codemol otc, for "a little more than a headache, but not enough to bother the GP with..."

I have severe chronic insomnia- back when I self medicated it with alcohol I went 70 days without proper sleep (only knocked myself out with booze for 4 hours every night). It ended up with me developing mania/psychosis like state. It is not a fun illness, I take anti-psych medication for it now. (Last line treatment)
Same here. I’ve gone without sleep long enough to see faces coming out of my walls. No drugs involved, just a cheating wife.

Doctor: That is correct; you now have a Semicolon.

this comment is actually hilarious
(;
XD
Why?
As someone who’s had very bad bouts with insomnia, I can understand the desperation. When I’d not slept at all in 3 days, I was seriously considering asking to go to the ER. Sleep that night never felt better.
This is unrelated to sleeping but I never ate well growing up, and one time I had a different problem when I was 15, where all of a sudden I was always hungry and never felt satisfied, and I was scared to go to sleep every night because I’d wake up 1-2 times in the night hungry, at the most unpredictable times. I would have anxiety attacks often, and one night I started begging my mom to take me to the hospital if I couldn’t sleep after that night. My sleep ended up being fine that night, but the hunger still continued for a couple months.
We scheduled a GI scan appointment to see what was wrong, and a few weeks before my blood and urine tests were taken to see if I possibly had diabetes or any problems with my thyroid. All tests came back normal, and there was nothing wrong with my GI tract. But, I visited a physician to go over my results and ask for advice. We went over my eating habits, (they were horrible, I barely ate cause I never had much of an appetite but it never bothered me before), and she said that I needed to start eating more proteins and fibers. And then, she went to press on my stomach, and she said, “You’re constipated. You’re packed all the way up!”
It turns out that I was quite literally full of shit, and I needed to start taking MiraLax for a day without eating solid foods to cleanse all the shit out. I also needed to start eating foods that were actually filling, instead of eating side meals that I had previously done for many years. It was really hard to do because I’m an extremely picky eater and don’t like any kind of meat, so finding filling foods was a big challenge at the start. But, in a few months I got on the right track with some new foods, and although I don’t eat much meat now, I eat much more healthy foods now and I’ve learned my lesson 😅

I love this channel. I like how he breaks down the medical terms into their Latin or Greek roots.

Hypo, meaning Low
Glyce, meaning Sugar
Emia, meaning Presence in blood
Low Sugar Presence in Blood
Yeah that's great .. even for me as a Greek person(it's interesting how most of the medical terms come from even ancient Greece)
@Robert Taylor I knew the first one but to be honest I've never thought about the second one mentioned😂
I wonder why some people give thumps down to his videos.
I never realized how easy it works. Gave me a whole new library of terms to use when I call in sick to my crappy 9-5 job.
Insomnia is no laughing matter. I went 6 days and nites without sleep. By that point I started having hallucinations, couldn’t even talk to form words much less sentences. Too many crazy things happened to text here. Yes I should have gone to my doctor sooner. I wouldn’t listen to my husband who begged me to see the doctor. I was going insane. Finally and luckily my husband got me to the doctor. Received medication. I slept 15 hours. But it took weeks for me to get back to normal. That happened 5 years ago and to this day I still am afraid if I cannot sleep for 1nite. Insomnia is no laughing matter.
Doctor may not of helped. Doctors don't take insomnia seriously and its getting hard and harder to get sleeping pills like ambian. I didn't have full night sleep for 10 years until I found a doctor that took me seriously and wasn't afraid to write real sleeping meds.
Marcia Bacus: I'm so glad you got help. It's incredibly difficult to get people who've never experienced serious sleep deprivation to understand how terrifying & disabling it is. For more than 10,000 days & nights I've lived like this. It's always a relief to hear other people describe having the same symptoms I have. I'm sometimes unsure whether what I'm experiencing is "real" or not. I wasn't sure if I really lose the ability to speak/understand my native language or if it was just something I dreamed.
green bird I feel your pain. The hallucinations were so bad i was terrified. I don’t remember my actions on the 6th nite. My family told me I became violent,talking to people that weren’t there and actually talking to chairs. When I spoke it was only in numbers. It took me months to begin feeling normal and realizing the hallucinations were not real. I truly hope you can find a doctor that is able to help you.
i think its laughable it was a fun activity not sleeping for 4 days
I have the same experience, when I dont was able to sleep at all for three nights I started to have a lot of hallucinations, I get into psychosis and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. In the hospital I get sleepmedication and after a long nice sleep my hallucinations disappear. I could not talk properly, nobody understod what I was trying to say. Sleep is so important for the brain.
This happened to my boyfriend's grandma. She had constipation for a very long time, but didn't tell anyone. And one day she suddenly started feeling nauseous, stomach pain and weakness. We called ambulance twice, both times they just gave her some pain relief and left. Later we had to take her to ER ourselves. It was during covid lockdowns, and they weren't letting people in the hospital. So she was admitted for the night. I don't know why they didn't scan here stomach immediately and had booked it for the next morning, but after few hours of admission, her colon had ruptured. She had septic shock and very hard surgery. Because she was so old, and she had pre-existing conditions, she was in medically induced coma for a week or so. Thankfully she recovered, but those 5 weeks were very scary. She had her colon removed and has a stomia bag. But after that time she is a bit demented. She doesn't remember recent events, sometimes doesn't remember her children and grandchildren, always speaks about her childhood and asks for her parents. She forgets that she has stomia bag, and tries to rip it off. It's really heart breaking.

Most of the drugs that the doctors give you are given with a Rush Job exam. I'm a disabled vet and my health was going down hill for thirty years. The doctors gave me drugs for everything and wouldn't listen to the patient (me). They said that because when I work hard and then spend weeks not being able to work that I had bipolar disorders. It turned out, after hundreds of hospital visits, we found out that my problem was a broken staple in my diaphragm from a botched surgery years ago. When I would lift heavy objects and twisted my abdominal section, the broken staple would cut me and cause internal bleeding. The drugs that the doctors gave me were all wrong and were all bad. These drugs caused me to suffer tremendously, I gained tremendous amounts of weight, my brain stopped working to the point that I couldn't read or work on my website. I couldn't keep my voice at a steady volume or steady rate, so the doctors gave me more drugs and more drugs and more drugs as I am finding out the VA is doing to all of the patients. So, one day I told the doctors to screw off, I'm not taking their drugs. In over twenty years of going to the VA, none of the doctors ever gave me a real exam, it was just a rush to get me on drugs and out of their office so that they can make their thousand dollars a day. After stopping the drugs, my whole life started coming back. I am now reading and writing as you can see here. I took some of the drugs that were listed in this video and I also had a slow colon.
Now, I am eating green smoothies and taking probiotics and Krill oil. Everything is coming back to me except the time and money that I lost in all of those years. I'm working really hard to gain muscle strength again and trying to be able to walk any distance.
With the drugs that they gave me, never once did they follow any check list. They never reviewed the side effects of the drugs, but they did give me more drugs for the side effects of the drugs that they have already given me. It was torture and criminal.
Why do pilots use checklist and what is the professional difference between pilots and doctors. Pilots, airplane mechanics and avionics technicians use check list and the Aviation Industry is the safest industry in the world. Doctors do not use check list and medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
The medical mistakes that are listed as the third leading cause of death are the mistakes that have been proven in a court of law, the rest of the mistakes are burred. Doctors need to use extensive check list before they administer a drug just to set a baseline, then after they administer the drugs, they need to go through the exact same check list to see what kinds of side effects were caused by the drugs.
I have very little respect for doctors, they are big headed and in a huge rush. Doctors MUST USE CHECKLIST and our lives, all of our lives will be much better. C. Jeff Dyrek, Disabled vet.
Oh, I lost my business and everything because of these drugs, they are drugs and drugs are drugs just like street drugs.
I've had some trouble with insomnia lately and it's really scary where your brain starts to go and how paranoid you get when you become desperate for sleep.

I had a similar situation a few years ago. It's utterly miserable and is basically disabling. In my case, it was due to a traumatic experience one of my students had in front of me, and it really shook me up in a big way because I adore my students. I didn't sleep properly for about 2 months, and when I did, I had awful nightmares. 4 years on I'm back to normal, and my (now graduated) student is just fine, it wasn't anything gory or... well, y'know. She's in a good job and succeeding, which I'm thrilled about. I eventually turned to Nytol (Diphenhydramine) to help me sleep, but I don't use it any more.
As stated, don't abuse that stuff. Always follow the stated dose.

How did this woman not go to the ER sooner from taking a cocktail of sleeping pills every night?
good question. most people practicing in an emergency room setting ask that question everyday
Some people think they know everything and put aside the side effect of over the counter medicine.
Or they couldn't afford it. Or they just plain don't trust doctors...
People don't have faith in doctors due to professional negligence, many doctors just don't have the knowledge or experience, I mean some doctors are working for the pay cheque. Another one is lack of apathy. For people to be sick / unwell and don't even think about visiting the GP is telling of their experience. And trust me there are countless people who just don't see any point in seeing a Doctor.
Not to say there isn't good doctors out there, I was lucky to have both good and bad and it was quite enlightening, im mean doctors are people after all they come in good and bad like everyone else.
@@abseiduk so true! I have a chronic condition for the last 10 years and wasn't diagnosed until this year. I then was given medication that limited my mobility / ability to self-care.

and dont buy gas station food or eat 25 laxative brownies
Moral of the story: don’t take more pills than the recommended dose and go to the doctor if you’re not feeling well.
Also don't keep stuffing your face with more pills if they stop working
And also tell everything to the doctor and don't blindly trust him/her, since mistakes are made by them too..

10/10 quality video, rarely on youtube there is a click bait-like title that actually is not clickbait
How is this click bait like though? It is an accurate description of the video
You must be new.
The titles sound clickbaity and they also are a little clickbait in a way. Most people reading the title of this video for example will think it implies direct causation ("What? Not sleeping for 9 days did that to her!?"), but it is in fact always indirect (The lack of sleep led her to consume increasing amounts of medicine in various combinations in an attempt of get some rest, leading to the presented issue).
Another example is the "A grandma ate 1 pound of chocolate in 6 hours, this is what happened to her brain". People will click of the video wanting to know why chocolate is bad for your brain, since this is what the title implies, but in reality (Spoilers for that video I guess?) the brain problems were caused by the elderly woman becoming constipated because of the excessive chocolate intake and rupturing a blood vessel in her brain while forcing on the toilet.
So yeah, I consider these clickbait, but here the content with worth the click, so I don't complain.
Only the best clickbait brings what they commercialize
Still very much clickbait. These kinds of videos thrive by lumping two, seemingly unrelated, things together to hook you into wanting to know how one could possibly lead to the other. Example: "A man never masturbated. This is what happened to his face." See? Now you want to know out how could premise A possibly lead to the conclusion.

As an insomniac this scared the shit out of me, until I realised this was more about diphenhydramine than insomnia.
but you should maybe ask for medical advices so u wont lead to usage of drugs
i used to have insomnia of stress, until i got to a new school. then it cleared out completely.
@@adrianatgaming8640 same. But with the family.
@@Staples-King how did you get a new family? Asking for a friend o.o
@@MrMasterBoop uhm. First I became an adult. When I was at uni, I simply moved out and stayed in the city of my uni. Very good times. Then I started to work and moved into another house with my girlfriend. Not so easy, but I gotta say I have two very very lovely parents, the problem was my brother (blood brother...for me it isn't my bro anymore) he simply ruined the family. However. It may seem a lot of time when you're young, but it isn't. If you are in trouble go to a psychologist, I wish I did it before, it may seem like a stigma but it's the opposite. And in the meantime focus on taking only the best parts of your family, so you will bring them with you when you will go away. Oh, and learn forgiveness. It's important so you don't become like them.
I have MS, and I take some of the meds you discuss in this video. I stay on top of bowel issues with lots of water, Miralax, stool softener and prune juice. When you're on certain medications, it's imperative to keep things moving smoothly!!
get off the pi11s.. return to plante.
Thank you for this advice ❤️
Flaxmeal in a smooth works, too.
i used to have severe anxiety that would disrupt proper bowel movements. I got used to drinking mint tea in the morning (and evening when I had stressful times) and always keep prune juice at home as well as something to acutely take take of anything (just in case)
That and eating oats, lentils, more fiber (vegetables and fruits) and flaxseeds rather helped me. Walking and drinking a lot is also important as it supports your bowel movements!
I eat apples for fiber.

Because of stuff like these medications, I am glad that our pharmacies here (Germany) demand that pharmacists are the ones getting the stuff for you out of their drawers and not you just picking them from the shelves. It gives way more opportunity for the pharmacist to notice that there are colliding effects of medicine, especially if you are a regular customer and have a file with the pharmacy.

My question is, why the hell wasn't this poor woman referred to a sleep doctor? The neurologist basically told her she was crazy by sending her to CBT, and it's a huge cop-out move. She should have been booked for a sleep study ASAP, because that level of chronic insomnia is not normal.
Shitty arrogant doctors.
Also being a woman you're more likely to have your concerns ignored by a doctor and not receive proper medical interventions.
Being referred to CBT isn’t being called crazy, it’s saying I am sorry you can’t sleep, I haven’t found any neurological reasons for it, I am going to send you to therapy to learn coping strategies to help you cope with not sleeping and hopefully teach you to get off to sleep.
It’s empathetic and a practice step to try to help.
You calling her crazy perpetuates the stigma accompanying mental health problems and is the opposite of empathetic.
@@dianeshelton9592 A psychiatrist (specialist) doing the best *they* know how to treat a disease afflicting an area of medicine they do not specialize in, because "empathy," is not helpful, it is toxic. Shitty arrogant doctors. Also, psychiatrists are fucking useless and can't do anything besides give you things to try. They are a frustrating gatekeeper preventing people from getting the help they need faster. Then again, the entire idea of prescriptions being required to obtain medicine is abominable, so it's not their fault in particular.

Not to worry. We will all eventually sleep forever.
There is a condition called Fatal Familial Insomnia in which a person slowly develops insomnia to the point where they can't sleep at all until they die. It's a medical condition that runs in families. You should look up some cases on youtube, they're very interesting
@@susanharris3552 oh wow we absolutely did not know about that 🙄🧠

How 'bout Toxic Megacolon?
Brilliant!
you describing how through a process of events an elderly person straining to poop can then lead to the heart stoping briefly, to then bursting shit in your brain to leading to a quick death is the most 'what the actual fuck' thing i've heard in awhile. our bodies are literally insane. the more i watch this youtube channel, the more i realize how important it is to take care of myself in every aspect possible. i have chronic illnesses so it's even more essential. sometimes i ignore that because im only 21 and it's hard to be responsible for everything all the damn time, but this is reminding me that that's a deadly mistake to make. thank you for all that you do!! i only found this channel the other day and i've already watched and learned so much! i love it! :D

Oh my god 😂😂
Yikes! This is my story waiting to happen! I've had insomnia all my life (I'm now 65). Starting in my 30s, I started abusing alcohol to be able to sleep (in the form of passing out). About 15 years ago, my doctor started proscribing quietapine and a generic lunesta. This was almost a life-changing event. For the first time in my life, I was able to have some regular sleep schedule. However some nights, I would "top off" my meds with some of the nameless sleep/pain med that comes in the purple label that begins with Zzzz..... I guess I will be a lot careful about dosages now.
@rev 2134 well said about pharmaceuticals. I also find CBD very helpful. Expensive but health and good sleep is worth it
@ FlabbyAbi Z "sleepers"/hynotics do NOT give you a normal sleep and can cause psychosis; as can lack of sleep.
Would you mind explaining what quietapine & lunesta is? Is that a medication you take before you sleep? My husband suffered from insomnia for 3 years (about 2 years ago) he still suffers to this day & he has lost all hope. I wanna recommend this to him.
must prescription by doctor not medication otc quetiapine also use for depression but low dose treatment insomnia

Truly Love Your Presentation. You Are Using: Microbiology, Cell Biology, Physiology and Anatomy, and Organic Chemistry (PRESENTING to ER), and Love The Way You Breakdown Terminology, All in a Manner Which Invites Non-Medical Students to Learn and Apply. Bless You!
I just really like how he always goes ☝🏽really briefly when he says "presenting to the emergency room". Like. It makes me so excited. Every time.
Lol weird but true. Like "oh geesh another presentation!".
I only watch his videos for that bit. It's marvellous 😊
Just came across this video. I have Crohn’s disease and have been taking Benadryl to help me sleep. When you said Diphenhydramine I went and researched it. I think I’ll stop taking it. Thanks so much for the information! I have a gastroenterologist, a rheumatologist and general practitioner and not one said there could be a potential problem
Here too, I had no idea. I had a bowel blockage a while back when I was taking it regularly.
Yeah, we definitely need to be knowledgeable what we take! Can't rely on doctors to tell us everything!
Patricia Cobb please consult your doctor first. Doctors know what they do because they studied hard for that... you can change your doctor if you have doubts...
Patricia Cobb...plants are a way better option. Try eating a few pistachios or drink chamomile tea instead.
As long as you dont take over recommended dosage you'll be okay. This women take more than she should have.
She's lucky to be alive. Here's someone who'd no doubt tell her clients to always consult her and share all information when they have a legal problem. Yet she overdosed and suffered awful symptoms because she did not seek medical advice. One of the most underrated skills in life is knowing when you are out of your depth and asking for help when it's needed.
If she actually overdosed on DPH she would have been seeing spiders crawling on the walls and shafow people. And I'm not joking or exagerating. Those are the effects of DPH
Too be fair, not sleeping fucks up ones ability to be logical. 😬
@@kerielwatson3197 Exactly !
@@magusperde365 Yeah, if you take grams. There's stages to it you know. An overdose, IIRC, is anything over 100mg.
Heart won't blow up from 800mg of caffeine either despite it being an OD. 2g? Uh, maybe.
She did seek medical advice and the doc only recommended CBT - things like guided relaxation and keeping your room cool, no effective solutions for insomnia that severe. I think that doc is entirely culpable in this for not taking her seriously.
This video may have saved my life; I’ve been having insomnia for a long time (at least a year now) and have been taking diphenhydramine to help but I’ve been needing to increase the dosage more lately because it’s less effective…. I’m going to stop self medicating now and see a doctor. Thank you.

A little bit of a personal story, so read at your own will. When I was a child I had a very slow metabolism and suffered from chronic constipation. Due to the shit hurting bad to come out, I developed extreme anxiety to pooping and during my worst time would spend up to 14 days holding in my poop. This went on for two years and during these years I also had problems sleeping (insomnia), nausea, stomach pain, and depression. My colon became so thin, it was like paper and I didn't have much feeling there either anymore. Although I don't get strong bowel movements, I can go almost every day now and am much better. Watching this video made me feel lucky to be alive and come out of that experience safe.
Yup had a similar problem when I was little. I help my poop in because it felt good and I hated pooping
holy shit
@@Erik-iz1rs i hated pooping too. i guess it was uncomfortable so i always held it in. of course, the skidmarks in underwear were inevitable. i think a lot of kids hold it in for some reason. eventually i guess you grow out of it once you figure out you aint gonna avoid pooping
@@Erik-iz1rs same
I'm sorry you had to suffer through all of that, especially at such a young age. But it's good to hear you're going well, now.
A Man Didn't Receive A Chubbyemu Notification For 2 Months. This Is What Happened To His Brain.
*as usually
LOL :D
FMG9, I no longer rely on notifications! I go to my list of subscriptions and check for anything daily. I am an independent thinking individual so my tastes must confuse the left's minded person in charge of notifying bc I do not get consistent notifications (this is the conclusion I have drawn) so notifications have become worthless.
He was received at the hospital, unconscious, but oddly crying.
TP moments later after admitting into the surgical ward, died from total organ failure. His autopsy shows that his brain decided it was a good idea to delete system 32
I really love when dr.Bernard says : "take care of yourself, and be well" it just reminds me all the time I started to stay awake for playing games or eating junkfoods... A literal reminder that is so to the point :)
This guy's cadence is flawless and he explains what is going on so even someone without the background of medicine can understand. Thank you for your videos!
10:03 Input from a pharmacy student: the interaction between benadryl and quetiapine is usually not clinically significant. This obviously changes in overdose amounts of benadryl, but no health care professional could’ve reasonably predicted that she would take such amounts. This also highlights the importance of consulting a professional (such as a pharmacist) when you intend to take new drugs whilst also taking other drugs, and to follow their directives/the label.
benadryl overdose levels are over 5 grams, depending on the patients weight. she definitely did not overdose
Pharmaceutical knowledge is always superior! Doctors are wonderful, but if I want information about new meds I always consult my pharmacist.
Exactly, this was nobody’s fault but her own.
@@misseselise3864 but did you have the half live time in mind? I don't know how long it stays in your system but I can stack up
misses elise diphenhydramine overdose usually depends on the persons weight and is much lower than 5g. The source I read is that the MLD (minimum lethal dose, the lowest dose someone has died at) is 10.1mg/kg

I've had chronic insomnia for most of my life and I had one experience with medication for it that was so negative (ambien) that I basically swore off trying to medicate it away. I find that it's manageable to some degree through lifestyle choices - exercise, cutting out complex carbohydrates and limiting things like screen time an hour or two before I want to sleep.
I'll be honest here - I think a lot of problems that people have come from poor lifestyles and that medication isn't really a fix when your root cause is something like your diet or (lack of) physical activity.
