Rethinking the terninal illness fears. I was under the impression you can't lose more than a few lbs a week even with diet and exercise, and I have not been actively dieting and exercising.

However, I learned people can lose up to 20 lbs in a week if they try. And my diet "might" have changed a bit, I used to snack more, I started drinking a lot more water and chamomile tea, cut out the ice cream and cheddar mixed in with a few hot dogs cut up into chili...

Maybe my habits could justify losing over 10 lbs in six weeks. Maybe that 93 lbs weigh was three days ago and losing about 5 in water weight and calories makes sense.

If it is cancer I feel fine otherwise, just lost the weight. Still not totally convinced..

Cancer is just one illness, there are many. I hope you are seeing your GP for this? At least spend an evening going to your local hospital if you blank out again. Blanking out can be many things but it's a sign of something serious. Unexpected weight loss is also a sign of something serious.

Check your lymph nodes to see if there are any bumps and jaundice to see if there is any discoloration in your skin tone.

Doctors appointment tomorrow.

Unfortunately I live in the US, where health care is stupidly overpriced because they steal from insurances, and insurances make it very hard to get any sort of test without very specific criteria.

The weight loss will almost certainly justify blood work, and further investigation if that doesn't pinpoint the problem. If it were cancer, that would be a death sentence because once you have symptoms, it's already worked its way into you.

Ideally screening would be affordable and easy to get. It probably SHOULD be. But it isn't, because America is run by greedy ****s.

I mean this is the same country where an pharmaceutical executive bought up insulin to raise the price by 4000% so they could get into the billionaires club. This is the equivalent of pricing people out of water, people need insulin to live.

Yah I hear you, it's not easy. Usually when you are really sick it's a combination of symptoms that are persistent and dont go away. You can always travel to Mexico or Canada for healthcare. Not sure how much they charge but it will be better treated. Ask nukes.

Will my US health insurance cover me in Canada?

Even though Canada is just over the border, your U.S. health insurance plan will not be accepted there unless it specifically provides global coverage. American Medicare also is not accepted in Canada. It's important to purchase travel medical insurance in case you suffer an injury or fall ill while in Canada.

I would do my research and move if I have to. Not worth going broke if you are not going to get the healthcare you deserve.

Cute story from Texas. 5 year old, Willa invites her entire class for her first ever birthday. No one shows up even though 30% of her class RSVP'd.

Mom goes online and let's her social club in on the news, she asks them to bring their children. Enough kids show up to fill the restaurant and Willa is left happy.

I don't know I haven't been to the doctors in a long time, when I hurt my ankle, but that was in Germany, forgot how much that cost but it was very little. Good treatment though, i barely even limp anymore.

Useless /\

The least you can do is let him stay with you while he uses your healthcare 🙄

Hard pass.

I barely tolerate him here, why on Earth would I want him in the same city even?!

Nope.

😄 So he could bunk with you

Entirely unpossible, F that guy and everyone that looks like that guy.

Was only joshing you. 😮

Hyundai and Kia sued over not having anti theft software.

Hyundai and Kia also most affordable and popular brands.

Obv they will need to charge more for their cars now, I wonder if that is the point. Undercut foreign competition with bogus lawsuit.

Probably the competition. I would love to see a knight rider car start screaming when someone comes near it.

I dont like anything Korean sorry. I dont speak Kia 😆
