  • :( God, that’s awful. It’s making me wonder if they’re going to do it to me when I get my next scan. I haven’t had one since I was 14 (34 now…), and I was in Virginia then. Doc told me a couple years ago I should probably get a scan sometime soon to confirm everything is okay. It’ll either be in Tennessee or South Carolina this time around.

    Do they use the mesh one that hardens in place on you?


  • Also not defending chester Cheeto. But I’m curious why they make you do the cage. That thing absolutely terrifies me, and I was so glad they never made me use it when they were scanning my brain because of my chairi malformation. Maybe it’s because it’s my brain stem they’re looking at?

    At any rate, I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I can’t imagine. Literal nightmare fuel





  • You might actually both be saying the same thing here. Caveat being that I have no idea what the science says about cold/flu, but when talking about humidity when the air is colder it is drier. 90% humidity at 35F is not the same as 90% at 85F. As the air cools it is able to hold less moisture. So your observation that there’s an uptick during colder weather at a higher relative humidity could be the same as saying it’s more likely in drier air, because the air is drier when it’s cold, even when the relative humidity shows the same percentage.
