OMG!!!
The transient video shortly gained greater than 16.2 million views and hundreds of feedback from social media customers who have been shocked and baffled over how she didn’t get poisonous shock syndrome – which is a uncommon and life-threatening complication of sure bacterial infections, per the Mayo Clinic. People reacted within the feedback part, writing:
“YOU’RE MEANT TO CHANGE THEM EVERY 2 HOURS NOT EVERY 2 YEARS.”
“I have so many questions”
“YEARS??? NOT EVEN DAYS NOT MONTHS NOT WEEKS BUT YEARS”
“’How DIDN’T you get toxic shock.”
And in fact, one of many largest questions everybody within the feedback part had was how this might have occurred. Well, she answered the query in a observe-up put up – and the story will get wilder! Melanie defined that the scenario started after she began experiencing signs of Lyme illness. When she went to the docs, they simply figured Melanie had the situation since she was bitten by a tick as a child:
“When I was little, I got bitten by a deer tick, and had all the symptoms of Lyme disease. But the tests were kind of confusing if I had it or not, but since I had all the symptoms and got bitten by the deer tick, the doctors gave my the meds, sent me on my way and I was fine.”
However, issues quickly modified when she started to expertise some ache and gynecological points that she thought have been associated to Lyme illness:
“Then my sophomore year of high school, I started getting all these pains in my body and some really gross stuff was happening down south. I went to the doctor, but I didn’t really mention the issues happening down south, which I know was my fault. But the doctor was really disregarding me and he was being mean and scary. I was really embarrassed, I was like 14. It was really disgusting and embarrassing, and I just didn’t want to deal with it. But I kind of just hoped that it was something related to Lyme disease and that I could just ignore it with the meds and it would go away.”
She took some extra treatment for Lyme illness. While her ache went away, her different signs remained the identical. Two years later, Melanie’s issues by no means improved – main her to go to the gynecologist:
“When I get stressed about something, I ignore it, so I don’t have to deal with it until it goes away. [That] never works, especially in this case. I finally go to the doctor again and I went to the gyno. She cranked me open, looks and she gasps. I’m like ‘well, that’s not what you want to hear’. You don’t want to hear someone gasp when they’re looking inside you. Then she says, ‘you have a tampon stuck horizontally under your cervix.”
WHAT?!! The now-22-12 months-previous added:
“Let’s just say taking it out hurt because it was dissolving inside me, so it kept breaking apart and it was such an unpleasant experience.”
Oof! According to Melanie, her physician had been so shocked by the discover. In truth, she didn’t consider Melanie that the tampon was caught within her for 2 years at first:
“She was like, ‘This was not stuck inside you for two years.’ I’m like, ‘Well, I’ve been having these issues for two years, so I don’t know what to tell you,’ Not believing me is fair. Honestly, I have no proof. Me and the tampon have since parted ways.”
Looking again on the scenario, Melanie thinks she by no means had Lyme illness and all her issues stemmed from the tampon being caught for years:
“All the pains in my body, it was not Lyme disease. I don’t even think I have Lyme disease… The doctors think I had some sort of infection in my body from the tampon, which makes sense. That was just my body’s reaction.”
She continued:
“For everyone asking about the smell… I [come] from a family that absolutely would have destroyed me for the smell if it had smelled. It didn’t. At times it did smell very bad, and I was very sad thinking I smelled like that naturally, so I figured out ways to mask it and it did work.”
And if that was not dangerous sufficient! Melanie then revealed:
“During that two-year period, I took one out and another came out with it, and I have no idea that one was in for. So I had one in me for two years, one in me for an unknown amount of time, and one in me for like eight hours. That’s the story. Please be nice to me. It was stupid, but I am sensitive. Don’t be mean.”
