What are Reddit's favorite android apps in the category medical?

Migraine ~~Tracker~~ Buddy. Helps me keep track of 'em in case I need to tell my doctor, or in case I just want to see what causes them and helps them most of the time. Amazing that it's free as well though.

EDIT: Added link (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp&hl=en_GB) and edited words.

SECOND EDIT: Whoa! I'm glad so many people found this helpful! May your migraines be tracked successfully!

Just like with everything else in the world there are degrees of severity. Is someone who is Blind 100% blind? no. Deaf? same thing not everyone who is deaf is 100% deaf.

For colorblindness a good app to test how bad you are is Color blind check. Being colorblind myself i found out that i'm only a 10/100 severe, while some of my other friends who do have day to day problems with wires and other things are 50/100. Its really better than those shitty number test that do nothing but show if you do/don't have color blindness but not how bad you are.

Some clients like this one: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/pacifica-anxiety-stress-depression/id922968861?mt=8

And others use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.excelatlife.cbtdiary&hl=en

You get a phone with Android OS, take this test and do it in front of her.

If she still says you're not colorblind and that you're lying and acting, well then you have bigger problem with your mom than with your color vision.

You can install an app called PulsePoint to your phone. It's primary purpose is to alert CPR certified individuals to nearby situations where they can help, but it also shows current and past runs for CFD. Google Play link, Apple Store link. I am certified and have been notified twice through the app, but EMS was already on scene both times I went to help.

I use the app Migraine Buddy (link below). It includes tracking for severity, treatments, potential triggers, medications, location of the migraine and the amount of sleep that you are getting at night. This app also has a calendar that shows the sleep you are getting and the days with a migraine/headache. It also creates several charts and diagrams that make this information easy to read and share.

Drink 30g collagen hydrosolat per day in that time. Don't ever cheat on diet in that time.

The City's PulsePoint feed reports that there was a "medical emergency" around that general location at 7:30pm-ish today, so they might have been responding to that call.

Seems like a good time to mention, the Red Cross has a Pet First Aid app (Android/iOS) that includes CPR steps and videos for dogs and cats, and also steps for choking (and drowning, burns, and pretty much anything else - but most rely on some CPR).

In shortest, deuteranopia is red/green blindness, while deuteranomaly is red/green deficiency.

The difference is obvious, the first is total absence of red/gren perception and the world seems blue/yellow colored to people who have it - so no purple, green, orange, pink, or red perception in any variation, only blue/gray/yellow colors are perceived.

Deuteranomaly is milder form. People with it still perceive red/green dimension (and thus purple, orange, green, red, pink colors) but in a deficient way so that all those colors are more similar to blues and yellows compared to normal vision, which is why they fail color vision tests.

Simplest way to find out is by doing CBC test for Android (make sure you have no screen/color filters turned on). If you get severity less than 90/100 then it's almost certainly deuteranomaly (the lower the score the milder it is - 0 is normal vision). If you get a score higher than 90, then you have either strong deuteranomaly or deuteranopia. Those two are very similar and no online color vision test can diagnose the difference correctly. A lot of optometrists/ophthalmologists can't as well, you'd have to find a specialist for color vision to do that.

Give him this test and represent it as just a game of course. The test was actually made by a guy who's severely colorblind and wanted to test his young kids for colorblindness as well. I think if any test is applicable to children, it's that one.

Just a note regarding the test and your screen. Screen colors must be on default, so turn off ANY color filter if you maybe have it on and do the test in a darker room. The task is to tap on the little colored squares as soon as you spot them, so as quick as possible. At the end, the test shows the score as a combination of total points, PDT and severity scores. You can paste it all here if you want.

Oh, and link for Android app (I think there's an iPhone version too). It's a really good app for tracking your migs. I find it invaluable when talking to doctors as you have a full record of all your migs.

Here's the app in theyre talking about,.called Christella VoiceUp on iPhone and Android

The app's free, with one free lesson, and 3 paid lessons £14.99 each. That's £44.97 in total, so pretty pricey for an app but not that much compared to paid voice lessons I guess.

Has anyone on here tried it? How is it?

OP, very sorry for your loss.

Apps for your smartphones

Download it and hope that you don't need it.

Theres lots of apps out there for this sort of thing. The one I like to use is awesome because you can customize entire phrases or just single words.

A quick search found an app named "Speech Assistant AAC" that seems promising. It will not only speak the words using the integrated Google speech in the phone, but it will also display the words nice ans big on the phone once selected. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.asoft.speechassistant

It has category buttons, such as for food and drinks, phrases, and feelings. Everything is laid out as buttons, and you can even create customized buttons and categories with your own words and phrases.

However, this is a free version, so I am not sure what all is limited in it. The full version is an in-app purchase, but I am not sure for how much.

Ah okay. Also, the normal eye doctor probably doesn't know much more about colorblindness than you do. All they'll do is give you the quick test with the dots and numbers again. However, if he has reason to believe that the colorblindness is new, he should go to a doctor. Almost everybody is born with it.

I'd recommend this app, it's the most accurate test I've found: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.colblindor.colorblindcheck (I think there's an iOS version as well)

I use an app called migraine buddy, it's there on my phone to remind me and once you've logged the start of it, it shows a little icon to remind you to complete the log. It's very useful and shows you things like average length of attack, sleep, common trigger etc. It's available on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp

You have made a solid effort so far in making an app, which is farther than I've gotten in my efforts. But I really think you would focus your efforts towards design as the app looks really outdated. Truth is aesthetically pleasing apps get more downloads even if they have less features.

With that being said, if I had diabetes, I would use this app. It does pretty much everything your app does and it has material design.

May I ask why do you need a confirmation from an optician if you already know for sure that your son is colorblind? If you really need to get an official diagnosis for some reason, you don't take him to optician but to an opthalmologist (eye doctor).

You can give him color blind check test for Android to have a better insight into his type and severity of CVD.

Sounds like protan (I think). Have her take an online test, like the Ishihara test, or for more precise results have her take the test in this app.

So that would be called unilateral color vision deficiency. It is very abnormal and not related to typical forms of CVD where the opsins (proteins in the cones) are affected. It is often acquired, due to some kind of trauma that affected one eye (e.g. Staring in a laser) or a tumor on an optical nerve or the like. In your case, obviously something different. It is quite strange to have congenital unilateral CVD.

On top of that, what you describe isn't really typical symptoms of CVD, which is color discrimination. This is diagnosed through what you are probably familiar with as Ishihara tests. If you want to test yourself, I recommend ColorBlindCheck for Android. Do it once with each eye. I imagine you will come back normal both times.

What you describe is closer to a failure of your eyes/brain to perform chromatic adaptation. Honestly, I've never heard of anything like this.

Yup something very weird is going on with your vision. The first A on the left is just contrasted from the background meaning there is mostly brightness difference. All three RGB values are just increased in that letter compared to its surrounding background color, thus everyone should easily see it.

Have you ever tried this test ?

Confusing dark purples and dark blues with black, and light yellows with white, is almost a definite sign you have blue-yellow color vision deficiency. That one is much rarer compared to the other type - red/green deficiency - which is what 99.5% of all colorblinds have. That's why majority of color vision tests on the internet don't test for it and you pass all of them thinking your color vision is completely normal.

You can do these next tests to confirm:

• Do THIS TEST on android phone and write down points, PDT and severity scores.

• Watch THESE three YouTube videos, especially the hard level version, read the descriptions bellow, and write down the problematic timings if you have them.

The Libre link app allows you to log the carbs you eat, and insulin taken, etc, it just doesn't do the automatic calculations. The physical meter also won't do automatic calculations for the flash readings, only blood ones. Never quite understood why but I'm going to assume lawyers and the marginal reduction in accuracy in flash readings are to blame.

Personally I just do the maths in my head.

If you'd prefer something that does the maths automatically I previously tried using the Diabetes:M Logbook/Management app which supports reading the Libre and has a calculator built in. I didn't like it enough to pay the £5 a month to get rid of ads, but it might be worth a look.

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the other logbook apps with calculators also can read the Libre, but I haven't tried any and a quick play store search only showed Glimp that doesn't seem to have a calculator (though can be linked with other services, so might be possible to rig one up)

As I understand it, any test that involves displaying something on your pc screen or phone has the risk that the colours won't be displayed accurately, so I guess if you have weak colour blindness the tests may not always work.

There are tests linked in this sub which are accurate as far as I know. I've also used the following app on my android phone (Not sure if its available for iOS)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.colblindor.colorblindcheck

Ultimately the most accurate check will be with a medical professional though I think.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone actually paid for and used the VoiceUp app and can testify as to how effective it is? I've been considering it and the reviews don't seem all that bad ��

I'm not sure what tests you have tried but if you haven't already and If you have an android phone try this app. It's widely regarded as the most accurate CVD test.

Check out "Color Blind Check" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.colblindor.colorblindcheck

You might have very mild deuteranomaly. What do you get on these two tests:

• CBC test for android phone. Write down points, PDT and severity scores.

• watch the hard level video, read the description bellow, and write down the problematic timings if you have them.

If you only can't see the gap on the 14th one, your vision is probably normal. I think mildest red-green deficiency have problems from 10th, 11th onwards.

These next two tests will give a better analyzis of your color vision

• Do THIS TEST on android phone and write down points, PDT and severity scores. For higher accuracy, if you want, you can do the test on a couple of different screens and a couple of times on each of them, and take some average result.

• If you don't have Android and don't want to play with Android emulators, watch THESE three YouTube videos, read the descriptions bellow, and write down the problematic timings if you have them.

Nobody sees this clearly because it's like 5% saturated green. It's barely visible for everyone. The only potential problem is that you see it as gray and don't recognize it's greenish, but that might just be your lower screen quality. If you're concerned that you might be colorblind just:

• do THIS TEST on android phone and write down points, PDT and severity scores.

• If you don't have Android and don't want to play with Android emulators, just watch THESE three YouTube videos, read the descriptions bellow, and write down the problematic timings, if you have them.

Christella: Voiceup is a pretty good one if you can afford the $15 per lesson (there are three) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.speechtools.christellamtf

There was also another really good one that is an actual pitch analyzer and more and features like intonation and resonance tips or something too.

I know someone mentioned it on this sub, I'll try to find it again.

I only discovered it last night. The app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.speechtools.christellamtf&hl=en_GB) is free to download (on android at least - I assume its available for iphone too) and has a sample tutorial which also includes feedback on how you sound.

That's as far as I have got so far, but it looks interesting. There are two or three stages which you need to buy at about £15 each.

Do the color blind check test for Android. Just tap on the colored squares as fast as you can, and report back here your PDT, points and severity result. It's possible that you have some form of redgreen deficiency.

Protan and deutan types are A LOT more common and they make up about 99% of all colorblind people. That is why almost all vision tests you find on the internet are oriented on testing red/green vision only (including Ishihara) and not blue/yellow (tritan) deficiency.

Color confusions characteristic for tritans are all the color pairs that differ in blue and/or yellow colors. Blue - purple is not precisely tritan confusion, but bluish indigo (or violet) - purple is. Your brain sees violet as a combination of dominantly blue and some red nerve signals, and it sees purple as a combination of a bit less blue and red nerve signals. Tritans have decreased blue response so they perceive that difference between those two similar blue levels as negligible, which is why the difference between those two colors (more vs less blue signal) is very small, so both colors appear as the same purple color. In case of red/green deficiency, they both appear as blue.

The best online tests that detect tritanomaly pretty accurately are these two

Color blind check test for Android.

colorlite test - just do the tritan (blue) test.

They're only as accurate as your monitor is calibrated. If you're getting normal vision you're probably not, at the very least, colorblind enough to really have to worry about it affecting you on a daily basis. At the same time, though, it's good to go to the doctor every once in a while just to check on your personal health. If you want to ensure the result is accurate, do the EnChroma test on multiple screens. Additionally, this app gives the most accurate results that you can get on a screen.

Color differentiation does get worse as one ages. However, if it's changing at a significant rate and it's worrying you go to an optometrist. It could be an early warning sign of an eye disease. Now, if you'd like to test if you're colorblind, go to this webpage. Additionally, if you have an Android device, download this app and take the test on it. This app is regarded as the most accurate test you can get on a device. The most accurate tests, however, can only be performed in-person due to there being variations between screen color calibration settings. Hope this helped!

Tritanopia is dichromacy where S cone type cells are completely missing, which causes complete loss of blue-yellow vision (only pink-teal vision is present, yellows appear as gray/white and purples are dark gray). So there is just one severity of it. Different severities are in anomalous trochromacy (protanomaly, deuteranomaly, and tritanomaly). So in tritanomaly, just like with protan and deutan types, there's basically a slider of near normal vision (slight severity) to strong severity (almost tritanopia).

Do CBC TEST for android phone. Screen colors must be on default, so turn off any color filter if you have it on and do the test in a darker room. The task is to tap on the little colored squares as soon as you spot them, so as quick as possible. At the end, the test shows your score as a combination of your total points, PDT and severity scores. For higher accuracy, if you want, you can do the test on a couple of different screens and a couple of times on each of them, and take some average result off of it.

Enchroma test is not so reliable, especialy not for detecting mild tritanomaly which from your description seems like is the deal with your vision.

• Watch here the hard level video, read the description bellow, and write down the problematic timings.

• Do THIS TEST on android phone and write down points, PDT and severity scores.

P. S. As above commentator has said, tetrachromatic stripe test is a total bs lie :) I remember it being on the news in my country and everyone laughing about it. There has only been confirmed 2 or 3 Functional Tetrachromats in the world, ever, and very special Rayleigh match test is required for it because tetrachromacy can never be tested on RGB electronic screens using only 3 primary lights :)

Seeing only reds and blues as gray is definitely very rare. Protanopes (red-green deficiency) see reddishpinks and teals as gray, while tritanopes (blue-yellow deficiency) see purples and yellows as grays, so it's maybe possible that you partially have both - red-green and blue-yellow deficiencies (achromatomaly). We can't say for sure until you do certain tests.

Make sure all color filters on your screen are turned off, including eye care, blue light filters, etc. It's important that the colors on your screen are on default.

Not enough to be certain because some screens simply produce lower blue levels, but it is possible blue-yellow deficiency.

> For me my speech stays fine (I think...) but my brain just stops producing words.

Well, yeah.

> I’ve wondered if anyone’s ever had little cards printed up

Speech assistant AAC.

It was interesting, I let my family members watch me do the color blind check test and they were astounded that some of the squares took me so long to find, but it was also interesting that on some of them I saw them before they did. My dad kept saying stuff about 'false positives' because I was tapping squares he couldn't see, but at the end I was able to show him in the results that I had no wrong touchpoints.

Yeah the app that I use sometimes is called Speech Assistant, for android, here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.asoft.speechassistant&hl=en

Apple may have ones as well, maybe even better ones, but I like speech assistant for now. Hopefully better ones come out as the technology improves. Not sure about ones for a laptop, but if you have a compatible keyboard, you could theoretically hook it up to any device and do your typing from there. I should look into this too, come to think of it.

I'm sure if money and effort were put into it, a great piece of technology could come out in the next few years that would make most of the difficulties associated with speech disorders a thing of the past. We just need the will.

I recommend trying out the Christella VoiceUp app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.speechtools.christellamtf&hl=en), as this is something the lessons in the app touch on (basic stage costs $15 but imo it's worth it).

If $15 is out of the question, then just try this and practice on your own. Place two fingers on the side of your nose and say "Mhmm!". You should feel vibrations in your nose when you do this. Practice saying other words that begin with the letter M, such as make, move, and music, and try to emphasize the M (say "Mmmake, Mmmove, Mmmusic) and focus on keeping all of the vibrations from the entire word up in your head instead of letting them drop into your throat/chest.

Once you get the hang of this try to move on to short phrases that begin with a word starting with M, such as "Make some tea", "Move over there", and "Music sounds nice" (these are just examples) and again try to focus on not letting the vibrations fall down from the initial M sound. Once you get the hang of this (practice for a few minutes every day) you should start being able to maintain your face resonance without needing to start with M words.

Whoever was asking about FODMAP related things, are you aware of the Monash low FODMAP app?

The app is created by the Monash University studying the FODMAP diet and is regularly updated (monthly, at the moment).

I've tried a couple, but the one I've liked the most and am currently using is Diabetes:M. It also has good reviews from other users. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mydiabetes)

It's great for posting food, insulin, pump settings, etc. It also allows you to look up food in a database from the app and create meals. The data analysis and ability to export all freaking kinds of graphs is amazing. I also like that it tells me how my sugars have been trending lately so I know what I need to focus on short term as opposed to "lowering my A1c". It also has hints for how to use pretty much every one of its features. I think it also has the option to link a couple of devices (none of which I have) but would be even greater if you did.

also the red cross has a nice app for pet first aid, i have installed on everything

also here's the american version of the app op posted

Describing your color confusions is never enough because literally every single type can confuse any two colors. You have to do the test.

I recommend these two tests to everyone since they are the most accurate I know of

Color blind check test for Android.

RGB anomaloscope for PC.

That website is not a good indicator for colorblindness type.

Just do the color blind check test for Android.

RGB anomaloscope is very good one as well. If your resulting line falls from the center to the down-right then you're protan, if it stays near-flat you're deutan.

I assume they mean PulsePoint Respond: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.firedepartment&hl=en_US&gl=US

I'm interested to know what points and severity score you get on this test. Based on that we'd maybe be able to tell what percentage of people here would pass that OCV test.

In my experience, if someone says they have difficulty of distinguishing certain shades of colors, it almost certainly means they have some type of color vision deficiency. Just like the majority of us here, you are not blind to colors, you have just decreased sensitivity to some of the colors. Most of the times, colorblindness is exactly that - color vision deficiency.

I advise doing this vision test and see what you get.

I use the Bolus Calculator from Diabetes:M.

I set up my carb ratio and insulin sensitivity in the app Settings and it`s really awesome.

I have the widget from the app on my main screen. Once I tap it it takes me straight to the Bolus calculator.

There I input my glycemia, for carb counting it has food databases(I use the USDA one). You can add to the list the food you don`t find in the data base.

After all this the Calculator shows me the amount of ui of insulin needed(it takes into account corrections to reach the ideal glucose value set by you and to cover the carbs for your meal).

PS: You don`t need the premium version. The free version does the job.

If you have a really hard time distinguishing vivid red from dark yellow, It sounds like strong protanomaly or protanopia. If you can find an android smartphone, it would be good to do THIS TEST. Just write down your points, PDT and severity scores. For higher accuracy, if you want, you can do the test on a couple of different screens and a couple of times on each of them, and take some average result.

P. S. If you don't have android phone, you can install the test on windows via bluestacks android emulator.

You don't seem to have deuteranopia if you easily see the difference there. Have you ever done this test? How does the top gradient appear compared to the middle one in this image ?

Firstly I must comment those descriptions on that website

Deuteranopia:

> yellow and green appear red while blues look violet

Protanopia:

> Orange, red and yellow look greener and colors are dull

For such a popular website that comes out on second place when you google for "colorblind test", I can't believe how inaccurate that description is. In both protanopia and deuteranopia, green, yellow and red appear yellow. Yellow and green definitely don't appear reddish, and blues definitely don't appear violet (blue+ slight red) in any type nor severity of red-green colorblindness. Red-green dichromats don't have any red-green color vision and only see in blue-yellow, thus violet appears blue not the opposite.

As for your color vision, just do this test on android phone and come back with results if you want to discuss them. It will diagnose your vision in 2-3 minutes.

Two people with protanopia and deuteranopia actually see all the identical colors, but not in the same places. I explained the difference more profoundly in this comment. There is no type in-between protan and deutan because they both fall under the same red-green color deficiency. There are many slightly different eye cone positions in both protan and deutan cases (there are no two specific L and M cones sensitivities for each type, rather than dozens of different positions), so you almost certainly lean more towards one type than towards the other one. Two guys with deuteranopia for example, might have pretty different visions and brightness sensitivities to the EM spectrum.

And btw, you should do the color blind check test (you need an android phone for it though). Come back with results (points, severity, PDT score) if you want to discuss your vision.

Perhaps the moderators could add the Color Blind Check app to the masthead on the right? It seems to be one of the best tests out there, it does exactly what you're interested in, it shows the strength and the type (or a mix of types as the case may be sometimes): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.colblindor.colorblindcheck

Sure, it's for Android smartphone though.

Sending you compassion. I'm actually a speech language pathologist, so if this happens to you again there are some communication apps that could help. Can you still read when you're having a migraine? If so, I recommend the Speech Assistant AAC app. You can add pre made phrases you can just touch a button to say onto it that you can touch and it will speak, such as "I have migraines" and "Sometimes when I have migraines I can't talk". You could even add basic medical history for if you have to go to the ER again. Alternatively you can just type on the fly and have it talk for you.

I’ll add to that, and agree with my own anecdotal experience. Had a good year of pain and started following FODMAP. I’m back to feeling myself again.

My doctor told me about the FODMAP app, that was developed by Monash University and it was a god send! Followed it and it helped immensely.

I can totally relate to you. I've had migraines since I was 23. I saw a neurologist back in the beginning of my developing migraines. I was terrified, yet kinda hoping they found something when I was scheduled for an MRI. My thinking was, if they found something, maybe they can take it out and no more migraines. No abnormalities were found. I've been on several different medications, none really worked. One did, but the cognitive side effect was to much. I'm now taking Aimovig, the once a month injection and that seems to be doing pretty well. You should be totally honest with your neurologist. Tell them how often you're getting your migraines, what the pain levels are, any possible triggers you may have found, what medications you have tried. Anything and everything will help your neurologist determine what the best course of action for you will be. If you haven't tried it, the Migraine Buddy app on the Google play store is what I use to track my migraines. Try it! It's been a big help for myself. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp Good luck with your neurologist and just tell the truth.

After some research, I've found an app with a test I've not completed before: app

The results suggest 6 protan, 3 deutan, 0 tritan deficiencies.

I assume this is out of 10, but what's new to me is that I might be protanomolous and deutranomalous, but only half as much.

I want to add a bit to this: I live in the US and I once saw a dietitian who specializes in the low FODMAP diet. She was extremely helpful.

I believe the app is $10 US.

Pulse point has most of the AEDs listed in the USA. We were told to download it after being advance CPR certified for EMT school. It's a very handy app with live 911 integration so you can see transfers, car wrecks and various other emergency calls with a map of locations.

There's VoiceUp, but it's 3 modules (basic, intermediate, advanced) that are $20 each. I've only purchased the first one because $60 total feels kinda steep, but I think the advantage is that you can watch them whenever, and the instructor gives you some time to actually practice along with them, whereas you need to pause most YouTube videos because they're just kinda glossing over their exercises. I've never been to a real speech pathologist so, I have no idea if what she's teaching is equally effective.

Your phone analogy is a bit unfair. It's like saying my knife cuts great! But my swiss army knife has problems with the 3rd toothpick. The phone just does WAY more things now, so clearly there are many more things that can go wrong.

And honestly I completely disagree that embedded systems from the 90's and early 2000's were reliable. The operating systems were garbage back then because they just didn't have markets of scale. They'd make an OS and sell a few thousand units. They would rush it out the door often with bugs and there would never be any updates. I was actually really excited when they started putting consistent OS's on devices like PalmOS, Android, and iPhone because they actually had the iterations and scalability of market to get things right and more bug free.

And one aspect of technology you're not mentioning is the idea of a universal machine. The idea of having a device that has an accelerometer, camera, screen, audio jack, and a general purpose computer is just so powerful. Some examples include:

• Accessability programs like this one used to require specialized hardware that would literally cost $10,000+. Now its free!
• Square: uses the audio jack and a cheap special device to make credit card purchases by listening to the noise that is made as the credit card passes through the slider.
• People have literally turned smartphones into satellites by just adding a component or two like jets.

Because of the market for these devices and their general nature, we're able to do so many things that used to require specialized devices that would usually be buggy and way more costly.

I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.healint.migraineapp

They even have a "Type" field where you can specify "Migraine, Tension, Cluster Headache or Other", it keeps track of the weather (temp, pressure and I think humidity) during the attack, you can try to find triggers, etc. It's really a great tool, it does ask a lot of questions, but you don't have to put any of it in (just start/end times).

also, and I haven't had to use it but it couldn't hurt, is to install the Pet first aid app - Android link is below, I don't know if there is an Apple version

That is rough. I can't give you too much advice because I don't know about the latter two issues. But I got an app to help understand a bit more what I cannot have while on the diet. Here is the app (Android or Apple), its expensive for an app but its definitely helped me understand a bit more. As far as I can tell its from the University that first started/came up with the diet. Maybe it can help you?

CBT is a huge help to lessen stress and possibly slipping into a depressive episode.

I don't personally deal with this sort of thing but a friend of mine had similar issues for years and then he found elimination diet and said it changed his life. He said he thought he was eating "healthy" but found that some healthy foods were causing his issues. He used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monashuniversity.fodmap and told me going through this process sucked butt it ultimately worked. He told me he has been feeling much better since and he looks much better as well versus the really tired and such that he was before. I think it's been somewhere between 6 months to a year since he started this and he's been clearly much happier since.

we reccomend this app (speech assistant)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.asoft.speechassistant

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/speech-assistant-aac/id1139762358

it has some set phrases that you can use, too

(also there are apps where you can make digital flashcards/conmunication cards)

It was free and it should use your device location for the information it reports. I'm on Android so this is the app I used.

I like this one because there are common phrases and words and also you can make your own phrases and words. You can also just the robots accents and speech rate and volume

i have Speech Assistant on my phone. i haven't used it out in the wild yet bc *vague gesture* but I've poked around at home and it seems pretty solid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.asoft.speechassistant&gl=US

I've also played around with Emergency chat, which is less of an AAC and more of a texting type thing, except you'd just pass the device back and forth instead of sending the messages to a different device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jeroendebusser.aspiemeltdown&gl=US

I have red-green deficiency. This app here is great: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.colblindor.colorblindcheck

Because it gives you a score. That way improvements are measurable. The Ishihara Test is kind of hit or miss, so not very good for measuring.

I will try the app when tripping. But maybe it will just confuse me because the colors are changing. So pretty trippy in itself. The Ishihara test might be better for that reason because it has static colors. So I guess I will try both.

There is a headache app called Migraine Buddy that does this very well. Just make sure it's battery use is not restricted. It tracks the non-motion of your phone between the times you designate.

I can't quite figure out a straightforward explanation. Is it possible that you had an underlying congenital red-green colorblindness before your retinopathy kicked in? You can try taking a test using just your "good" eye.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.colblindor.colorblindcheck

Synesthesia and colorblindness are two very different disorders. No it doesn't have anything to do with colorblindness. If you think you might be colorblind, do this test. Though considering you describe the world as "so colorful", I doubt you are. That's not something coor vision deficient person would say.

That's not how that app diagnoses color vision. You've done the wrong test.

Here's the link

color blind check test.

Seems like red-green deficiency (protan or deutan). There's no real way to know until you do the isiob test. You can try the color blind check test for Android.

Their tritan test is very accurate. It literally discovers the smallest deficiency in blue-yellow vision, of course considering the test is done on the calibrated screen. If you score 3/10, it's pretty certain you have moderate-strong tritanomaly. Most of simple red/green vision tests are not exactly fully independent of blue/yellow vision, so strong tritanomaly can falsely give mild protan/deutan results on those kind of tests, even if your red/green vision is fully normal.

Color blind check test for Android has been proved on this sub as the most competent test so far, and the one that distinguishes protan/deutan/tritan types pretty accurately. Just pay attention to your PDT and severity scores. For example PDT 0-0-10 means the test found your vision to be 0% matched with Protan deficiency, 0% matched with Deutan deficiency, and 100% matched with TRITAN deficiency. 0/100 severity result is perfectly normal color vision, while 100/100 is dichromatic. Red/green and blue/yellow dichromats usually score in the 1300-1600 point range, monohromats about 300.

Just a note, for the test to give most accurate result, do it on a phone using sRGB color space (check your display settings), and of course turn all color/visual filters off, including blue/night eye saver. Colors must be completely on default.

This is the app for people interested. I don't have an iPhone so I can only vouch for the android app:

In order for any online color vision test to consistently give accurate results, your screen must be calibrated and that test must be properly designed of course. Someone with normal vision would never get mild or moderate protan result on any test, so it's a pretty high possibility that you're protan. I suggest doing the colorblind check test for Android on a phone where all color filters are turned off. In case your phone uses wide color gamut you'd have to set the color gamut (in your display settings) on narrower sRGB color space for the test to produce maximum accuracy.

Your confusion comes from the god damn wrong English term that preoccupated this sub's name as well - color blindness. It's not colorblindness, it's color vision deficiency or CVD. There's like 20 people per month who come here with the same confusion as you have, so this should really become the top stickied post.

You're not blind to colors, you can see the world in color, but in fewer colors than normal vision, which is why you fail that test. Colors look normal to you because you've never had other people's perspectives to compare your vision to. You've learned to call the colors the same as others, just like the rest of us here, but you don't perceive those colors the same.

Do this test for Android next to your friend or family member that has normal color vision, and you'll understand. They see "invisible" colors my dude.

Well that’s frustrating.

Do you want medication (and the subsequent discharge)?

Without details, will your unit have a psych that can get you medical help while deployed if you need it?

What indications do you have your command doesn’t care? You did tell us that your LPO and Chief encouraged you to get checked out. Being a Chief myself, I will tell you that if medical says you’re good to go, I have a really hard time overriding them, since I’m not a doctor. Barring common sense actions that any bystander would have to intervene on, if medical says you’re good, I’m shutdown.

I wish you had time to get some mental health tools in your toolbox.

If you got some time to download and look at them tonight, try a CBT journal for your phone. I can’t vet this Android one personally because I’m an Apple person, but it is free and well rated. The Apple one I linked I can. It’s a good program that walks you through.

CBT is a self guided tool to help you reframe thoughts when you’re having issues. In a perfect world a therapist would teach you this. But I’m suggesting it because it is self guided and something is better than what you’re getting right now.

Thought you might find this app helpful... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1523102810

Try using them once a day to reflect on your thoughts and learn some skills. I’m very sorry medical wouldn’t do more.

Green-brown is a classic confusion for redgreen color deficiency. Colorblindness is a wrong term actually. The correct one is Color Vison Deficiency because it can range from almost normal vision to being fully redgreen blind. Majority of people in this sub are CVD and can as well identify all primary colors.

If you think that you have it, just do the test

>I have a program generate every possible shade of pure green, red, and blue, they all look normal to me. No browns or greys.

That same thing applies for someone who has deuteranomaly or protanomaly. They don't see either browns or grays when they slide through pure R, G and B values. Everything you see is normal to you because it's been everything you've ever seen. You didn't have other people's perspective to compare your vision to, so you're not really reliable to conclude whether the colors you see are normal or not. Only color vision tests can conclude that.

>I wonder, how can this be? I've tested for abnormally good color vision, and I can see all the plain colors fine. So, how can I not see specific shades of dark red? I don't understand how a mixed color could appear off to me when all the pure colors look normal. I also don't understand why darker shades seem to cause more issues. In particular, my mother has recently been diagnosed as mildly green deficient (not enough to actually be colorblind though). In her case, it appears to be dark, sickly green that appears grey to her.

If you're a male and your mother is redgreen coor deficient, then you're 100% redgreen color deficient as well. If you're a female and your father has normal redgreen vision, then you'll have redgreen normal vision.

There's two possibilities I see here:

1) Your eye doc diagnosed you correctly and you're tripping things out.

2) your eye doc has missed to diagnose that you have some very mild form of red-green deficiency.

In either case, you can try Anomaloscope test and see whether you get some resulting line.

CBC test for Android is considered as one of the most precise tests that exist online. Tough keep in mind that your phone has to have sRGB color space applied for the test result to be viable.

Felnőttként diagnosztizáltak 1-es típusú cukorbetegséggel, ez az autoimmun, szurkálós változat. Három év után mostanra lassan megszoktam. Az életmódváltáshoz a kórházi dietetikus abból indult ki, hogy mit szoktam általában enni, és ezt hogyan lehet egészségesebbé tenni (pl. ha szendvicsezek, akkor teljes kiőrlésű kenyér, cukros müzli helyett zabkása, kellő zsír+fehérje hozzáadása a szénhidrátos cuccokhoz hogy lassabban szívódjon fel). Ha lépésről lépésre változtat az ember, könnyebb nem begurulni az egészre.

Ha szükséges az étkezésekhez inzulinozni, bosszantó a számolgatás, hogy x grammnyi szénhidráthoz mennyi kell, de vannak nagyon jó appok (pl. Androidra Diabetes:M, Androidra/Apple-re MyFitnessPal.

Ahogy a többiek is írták, az elején tök sokat segít, ha van egy viszonylag fix napirend és szénhidrátkeret, amihez tudod tartani magad, és abszolút segít látni az actual vércukorértékeket is, szóval szükséges rossz az ujjszurkálás. (Mutatóujjat és az ujjbegyek közepét sose, úgy kevésbé fájdalmas, meg nem tompítja le az érzékelést.) Ha esetleg 1-es típusúval diagnosztizálnak (szurkolok, hogy ne az legyen), akkor javaslom, kérdezz utána a szenzoros vércukormérőnek. Tavaly óta TB-támogatott, kb. egy nikotintapasznyi méretben 5 percenként küld cukorértéket, és kevesebbet kell ujjból mérni.

Az /r/diabetes sub jó hely még, többet tanultam innen, mint a diabetológusomtól, és jók a mémek is.

For green colors it is normal, but I don't think tritans are supposed to see red darker and grayer. S cones that are problematic in tritanomaly, don't activate at all for colors in the red spectrum, so tritans shouldn't be experiencing any brightness loss on those colors.

You can try the color blind check test for Android.

If you have an android phone try this app. It's widely regarded as the most accurate CVD test.

Bof r/ibs j'ai quitté parce que la moitié des posts c'était des memes cringe sur la constipation ou la chiasse.
Je m'en suis sorti en gérant mieux mon stress (en vieillissant on relativise de plus en plus) et surtout en faisant gaffe à mon régime. Identifier et éliminer les aliments auxquels je suis sensible m'a donné un gros coup de boost au niveau confort de vie. Fini les chiasses, nausées et nuits sans sommeil réparateur. Niveau régime, la référence c'est l'université de Monash, tout le monde se basent sur leurs études. Achète leur app. C'est pas cher payé et ça finance des études qui t'aident :)
Je n'ai pas eu à faire le régime complet, j'ai vite trouvé que je ne supporte pas les aliments qui comportent du fructane. Adieu les oignons, échalotes, betteraves, artichauts, choux de Bruxelles, maïs en boîte... C'est dur mais je vais bien mieux comme ça.
