PCOS is a whole syndrome so even removing my ovaries didn’t fix everything. I don’t see that Paget’s is neuroendocrine, but rarely can be related to another neuro condition. I’ve been using AI a lot and while I have received some great information, I’ve also noticed it’s programmed to be very agreeable with you so it wants to please when you’re looking for ways to connect the dots. It can also contradict itself in the next conversation we have on the same topics. It’s all about how you phrase the question. Just for fun, I just asked AI if toe cramps lead to cancer. It answered while they don’t directly lead to cancer it can be a sign of metastatic cancer in the bones. Again, it helps you find any link. So now everyone with a toe cramp may worry they have terminal cancer. Be careful of the one in a million cases responses.

Like so many of us, you likely have many different medical conditions and are wondering if there is a common link to all of them. Maybe some, but probably not all. I know it’s hard not to worry. Just keep up with your screenings and make sure you’re still enjoying fun stuff in life outside the medical stuff. We don’t want to just survive, but to thrive. ❤️

@californiazebra I am not agreeing with everything AI is giving me. I also know about the fact it can "hallucinate" and "drift off." I was mostly using it to find out about connections between multiple operations and adhesions. That was brought up by my pain specialist when she had to do ultrasound guided nerve block for the second time for my lung pain. Because of a question I asked about genetics, AI went into a connection with my families history of Paget's disease and carcinoid cancer. Since two family members have had this form of cancer, I am striving to keep up to date on it. That is all. At this point in my life, I am not thriving, but my goal is to get back to work. It is not an attitude thing, it is a on-going pain situation. Hopefully the ablation will help, but I don't know how the possibility of adhesions at the staples site might factor in now. I'm not so simple minded to think a toe cramp could signal cancer. And I am not trying to connect all the dots. Just need to get back to work. 💕
