I’m like scared to hear this already lol. I have bad migraines in between my eyes and about a year ago my eyes started moving not like….together and one would get lazy when I was tired so the dr diagnosed me with third cranial nerve palsy and sent me for mri with contrast because usually this is a sign of either a aneurysm, tumor or something pushing on that nerve and they found nothing. So I still don’t know what’s causing it. The eye stuff got better. I still feel my one eye occasionally get lazy when I’m especially tired, I also can’t have like light hit me fast in the am or it hurts really really bad but they move in sync now.

My friend who lives in MT became an infectious disease case study! She had a really tricky to diagnose case of rocky mountain spotted tick fever. Tons of doctors were stumped by her symptoms and she kept getting worse. She was graced with visits from experts from the CDC who had flown across the country to help out and record her case observations for better education. Once they figured out her illness, she responded really well to treatment. She's great now!

He had to be life flighted to a bigger hospital for emergency surgery to fix it. They had to make a huge incision, and obviously cut into his skull. But thank GOD he survived and is ok now.

It was really scary at that moment cause I was just 14 and later I found out that the bleed was way worse than they told me.

Here's a list of SOS treatments that have been lifesavers honestly, and have prevented many trips to the ER for intravenous treatment. I hope this list might help someone: Naratriptan; eletriptan (pill) Sumatriptan (injection, like an epi-pen) Ondansetron (pill, for nausea) Tramadol (opioid pain med) [these are subject to prescription unfortunately] I've noticed I've been having less migraines when taking 800mg of Magnesium per day (which is double the recommended dosage for "regular" people; for those who suffer from migraines 400mg won't do anything) Lastly, I swear by chinese tiger balm and oils during a crisis. I get severe neck pain along my migraine headaches and these are the only products that I can depend on besides actual pills.

Wow! I have to tell you a short story of my own parasitic invasion. This happened to me TWICE! I have M. S. and a few years ago I lived in an apartment with a bad well! The place was brand new; and the owners claimed that putting chloride in the well would make it safe. I still refused to drink it; but was told bathing in it wouldn’t hurt. After just a few weeks; I began to feel seriously ill and had extreme diarrhea; until I could no longer even leave my bed. I had lost in 5 weeks 60 lbs. I finally got to a Dr. and was asked if I had been out of the country which I had not. He gave me a prescription and sent me home. Within a week I had lost another 8 lbs. I went back to the Dr. and was tested for Giardia; which was positive. This is an intestinal parasite that is a worm that was literally eating and growing in my intestines. It was from bathing in the bad water; which they were neglecting to treat! A antibiotic took care of it in no time and I got well; only to have to return to my apartment; where the landlord who was now supposed to put in a new artisan well; didn’t. So I got sick Again!!!!! This time all 8 tenants in this brand new building had to be relocated at the owners expense. He was left with no alternative; so he sold the property; and it was totally redone with a newly dug well! I now have a big fear of swimming in lakes and I have a shower seat where I live now; and NEVER drink tap water. It took me over a year to fully recover my weight and still obviously have PTSD. when it comes to water. Ty Swoop for being you! ✌️

That's horrible and so irresponsible of the landlords! The thought of getting ill TWICE, and developing ptsd, from something so easily avoidable on the part of the owners would make me quite angry. Good to hear you've recovered from the illness and that your relocation expenses were covered, but it's awful that you had to experience all of that. Did anyone else living in the building at the time also get ill?

@@teodorasavoiu4664 yes. One other woman . Although after me they already knew what it was; and she was treated quickly the first time; and we were all relocated after that!

OMFG Warragul Greens are something that health people are trying to get Australians to eat. I’m from Victoria, we only have venomous snakes. For the first time I’m happy about that. Thank you Swoop and Team it’s good to be hearing you again.

The forensics kid in me is VERY intrigued but also kinda terrified

i think we all shuddered at the same moment...and living rent free in my head will never hit the same again

Omg AWFUL. Actually, almost exactly this happened to me a few years ago. Only I had a staph infection eating my brain and skull lol. So, deff also awful, but far less scary than this imo. Poor Lucy! I truly feel for ya girl.

Watching this as I'm fighting chronic migraines that they can't figure out why but did lead to them finding 3 aneurysms 😂

I love that you made shorter videos! I love your longer ones, but I find it hard to focus on those for the whole videos! So glad i found you!

Once I started chemo and radiation I started getting real bad headaches even now after the treatments I still get bad headaches which is to be expected.

I’ve had 3 surgeries on my head and 3 on my back.. it’s so wild to stop and think about it. Also this video is seriously making me happy I don’t like a lot of veggies 😳😳😳😳😳

Omg you have to do more videos like this!! I was so intrigued (yet disturbed 😅) the entire time

This is my favorite type of content!!!!! So happy you’re doing a medical mystery type video 🎉❤

As someone currently suffering from severe headaches with no known cause, until I can get through an MRI, yay claustrophobia, this is terrifying. Luckily I don't eat random greens from outdoors, but I am currently on a year long journey of trying one new recipe each week. So...I'm gonna stop procrastinating and make that MRI appointment now.

Travel sickness pills help with the nausea caused by claustrophobia and might make it easier for you for at least long enough to get that MRI.

@@kateemma22 I didn’t actually know that. Good advice, but my issue is with the overwhelming feeling of not being able to get out of the confined space. And because I’m a bigger girl, the tube feels even smaller.

So important to wash your greens even if you grow your own. This is the same reason there are weird outbreaks of diseases in lettuce and spinach.

As someone who experiences chronic migraines this is my new fear. Thanks swoop 😂

100% on board with the Swoop take on spiders!! Spawns of Satan 🤣

It’s so wild how these kind of parasitic infections can happen! As soon as you mentioned foraging my hackles went up, you’ve really got to know what you’re doing. The way this happened makes a lot of sense, parasites have some complex reproduction cycles. I’m a total freak. If I had this happen I’d want to keep the roundworm, if not alive like preserved in lucite or something! And even worse, I LOVE spiders! 😅

honestly that's an amazing idea lol I'm a fellow freak I suppose; only reason I don't have my wisdom teeth somewhere after removal is that it was the type of thing where they had to break them Happened to get a shard though, because they did a poor job and a piece was stuck in the lower right area (could feel it when I cleaned out food stuff with a toothpick. The skin of 1 pea could get stuck in there and had to be removed) and I removed it myself

My brother had a worm in his brain too. From uncooked ham.for months. It messed with his coordination. Number his arm. It was crazy. We all thought it was a tumor until the operation when they found the worm. Yuk

I absolutely love your long form content Spankie, but I am absolutely here for bite size Swoop vids, talking about the macabre horror of everyday in this joyous nightmare called life! 🍿

I had brain surgery in Melbourne, Australia in 2000. I have epilepsy which became uncontrolled after I gave birth to my daughter. I live in New Zealand and we spent almost two years experimenting with medications until we ran out of options and surgery was my only option. I was put out completely while they opened up my skull but then they brought me round because where they were operating was deep in the left frontal lobe and right around where gross motor function, speech and various other important functions are located in the brain. The idea was that they stimulate the brain with electrodes and ask me test questions so they could hear me speaking and make sure I was cognitively ok while they literally scraped away at a nodule in my brain which was like a reverse tumour. It went inside the frontal lobe rather than protruding out. Unfortunately the surgeon had a wee accident and actually cut through the transmitter or synapse or connection for speech but, fortunately, I kept talking. The function literally jumped from the left side to the right side. I was 31 then. Now I am almost 55 and, although my speech is fine, I have a tendency to lose words while I am speaking. They have a longer way to go from brain to tongue. I also ended up with depression and anxiety which I had never had before. I still have those things. I have also never recovered the same energy I had beforehand. It took two years for me to recover. Apparently having someone messing around in your brain has side effects. But I'm much better off than I was before. My seizures were lasting almost all day. It's been almost three years since my last seizure, although it took 20 years to get me that far.

I'm putting swoop on to fall asleep to and now I'm worried my dreams are about to be freakkyyyyy

The way my mouth dropped when you said what the doctors found. I will be thinking about this as I’m about to wash my veggies. 😭

There's an episode of House and one on Gray's anatomy, I think, about this story but they changed the story up, of course. 💜

I am SO excited that you're getting into content like this! I LOVE it! :D Congrats on the new direction. :3

Yikes this gave me the chills, poor Lucy. Plus Dr. Gardener’s words did not help me feel any better, like I probably would have screamed, or fainted…or both 😧

I enjoy your main channel, but the spooky creepy content is defo more my vibe. I look forward to seeing more vids on this channel!

This made me think of the case where a man had a fir tree growing in his lungs from possibly inhaling a seed. The x ray image is crazy, it’s like a mini Christmas tree lodged in his lung and it was a real case. I’m really interested in learning about different medical cases. Thanks for this video

This was so exciting for me to watch! I wrote about this in my microbio class! Im being so fr when I say I was channeling 💅🔪✨SWOOP✨🔪💅when typing this case up for the class discussion board. It’s so crazy, and I’m very glad she’s ok. It’s so cool to watch you tell this story! I was so interested in this case, I’m happy to know I’m not the only one 😂

really enjoyed the medical details and description of the process. suffering from chronic headaches makes this story even scarier. good work as always

Super glad i read the comments because parasite stuff really triggers my schizophrenia! Idk if you put a warning beforehand but im gonna bow out of this one for my own mental health. Still leaving a like because i love your work and love to support you!

I would listen to you talk about literally any topic tbh

Loving the SwoopToo channel! The suspool is an awesome place to be, with Swoop, telling us about all the sus

Love this new channel! If you’re eating while watching this and the “I should pause the video until I finish my meal” instinct kicks in, 🗣️ listen to it

I love these kinds of mysterious things I used to watch dr. G and try to put the mystery together. Was I the only one who watched her show and tried to solve the mystery along the way?

What a perfect day for a dip in the suspool 💖

Absolutely one of the worse fears ever!!! 🪱🪱🪱 🧠

I am an RN who started health care as a veterinary technician. I seem to remember that when you have abnormally high level of eosinophils, it’s usually a sign of a parasitic infection.

swoop you have done it again girl! i love these kinds of videos❤️

I want to hear you narrate every creepy story ever omg I could listen all day

Torn between throwing up and just having the heebie jeebies and throwing my iPad. Thanks for the nightmares Swoop!

This is exactly why im absolutely terrified of worms

Yay more Swoop!! 💖💖
