This is what happens when your gyno tells you your ovary is “bulky”.

Anyway, I’m now recovering from surgery that dealt with said Brovary and the culprit was indeed my life-long nemesis, risen once more to wreak havoc on my internal organs: endometriosis.

Gotta love a classic.

On the up side, I don’t have to add a new player to my novel-length list of diagnoses (🤘) and my old gyno is still practicing so I was in the best of hands. Barring adhesions, I should be in the clear for the next however-long.

I’ll take it.

I’ll also take this moment to reiterate to everyone that a hysterectomy DOES NOT “CURE” ENDOMETRIOSIS. I am now living proof, ie:

If you’re not a knowledgeable medical professional, get off my lawn and stop telling endo peeps what to do with our goddamn bodies like you know our conditions better than we or our doctors do.

The bite of '87

So now that we know that Fredbear's bite was indeed in 1983.

I don't know if this was already answered, but, who did the bite of '87 then?

Why wasn't the '83 incident been mentioned on fnaf 1 , 2 or 3?

The culprit then might have been Mangle...maybe.

I mean during 1987 the toys walked during the day, something the 1993 guys weren't allowed to do.

We all know the possible hints towards Mangle doing it: They're a toy animatronic, they have sharp teeth and endo ones exposed, jumpscare towards the head, malfunctions and that.

Other question...what were the exact consequences of the bite of 83, besides...probably the closing of that establishment.

Was it the springlock suits decomission?

I guess it might be... but that would make little sense, because the incident must be about an employee dying in the suit; a kid being bitten by a costume while on robot mode...might have not been the cause or maybe it was the breaking point, maybe there were indeed accidents before and they just needed amd excuse to get rid of them.

It certainly couldn't be the free roam at day thing, since that was a consequence of '87 not '83.

Been a long time since a "theory" post.

Declining Honeymoon Phase

Looks like it’s been about 11 months since I last wrote. It’s not been horrible -- but it’s not been easy at all.

Whatever the various authorities and patients think defines Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), the primary problem is autoimmunity. I’ve come to understand that autoimmune disease is possibly one condition that affects multiple systems of the body -- like, if you have one autoimmune condition, it is contagious to the other systems of your body. Well, that’s one researcher said recently. What the group think knows is that a person with Type 1 diabetes is more likely to have, or to develop in the future, more than one autoimmune condition.

I often wonder if I have a condition of my spine (ie. ankylosing spondylitis), of my eyes (Sjogren’s), and possibly all over. My friend from high school, “K.,” told me this year that she has had autoimmune diabetes since she was about 25. I thought she developed it much more recently than that. She has struggled over the years with her weight and other issues. After I got LADA, she started going a bit loopy on FB -- said she became a born-again Christian, and posts all manner of self-affirming “tests” that say she is a wonderful person. She is a good person, don’t get me wrong, but an web page that asks you to choose your favorite color or TV character is just silly. Anyway, she recently started posting much more dire shout outs to the world for relief from pain and misery. She was at the ER, which proabably turned out to be early DKA. She also passed out and broke her jaw, from postural hypotension apparently, and she was finally diagnosed with both Lupus and fibromyalgia. God bless her, indeed. 

Now, in my world -- hmmmm. Not sure what’s happening. In Jan-Feb-Mar of 2017, my pancreas was making plenty of insulin. My injection needs dropped to just a few units of Levemir each day -- 6 or 8, I think it was. But then came April. I have lots of pollen allergies every year -- from beginning of spring till the end of fall. And last winter wasn’t so great either. In April, my basal insulin needs tripled over the course of a week. Like from 8 to 24. It really troubled me for a couple of months. I figured it was the inevitable “declining honeymoon period.”

I had asked for rapid-acting insulin from my endocrinologist before, but as my last post said, the endos and my primary doctor are colluding against me and trying to get me to raise my glucose levels and A1c. It’s very disturbing. I was at a 5.3% POC finger stick, and by June it had risen to 5.8% at an urgent care POC finger stick. 

Why was I at urgent care? Because I had all manner of nerve problems in May and June and July. My feet and hands really started to get whacked out with tingling, burning, twitches and discomfort. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was exactly. The list of possible culprits was long.

I thought it might be early neuropathy -- I have diabetic acquaintances who cannot feel their feet, and other people online said they had numbness in their feet as a precursor to diagnosis. I’ve had weirdness over the years -- most notably carpal tunnel in my wrists in 2013, while trying to paint the country house.  It definitely seemed like an electrical / nerve problem. My glucose was over 100 for much of that time, and there seemed to be a trend where when i was over 120, my nerves would go whacky. Was that because of neuropathy or because of stress? I don’t know. The hand and feet problem hasn’t really gone away completely, but it mostly subsided.

Then, about 5 or 6 weeks ago, around the beginning of August, I started complaining a lot about my tongue burning. Like all day, every day. There were a couple of tastebuds that were irritated, but they’d settle down and the burning would continue. And then it started getting numb on the sides of my tongue further back, and then under my cheeks and in my lips. And recently under my tongue. I called urgent care again, and then Googled it -- “Burning Mouth Syndrome: Unspecific cause, no specific cure; possibly GERD, trigeminal nerve damage, diabetes, nutrient deficiences,....” Ugh. 

I wake up with a sore throat almost every day, too. I thought that must be GERD again, so I started taking Pantoparazole almost every day. The GERD this week has been horrible. My throat is so irritated. I’m taking every kind of medicine I have to try and keep it at bay -- Gaviscon US, Gaviscon UK, Alka Seltzer, and PPI. It’s beyond obnoxious when it gets going. The best treatment seems to be to just calm down, and possibly put water or something else in your mouth to distract it. As I type this, it is annoying me with numb spots on the sides. The feelings are a range between black pepper burn and novacaine-style numbness. Why? Why, why, why, why? WHY?

That’s all about i can write now. My ragweed allergy is robbing me terribly at the moment of energy. I keep trying. I keep wanting to feel better, to figure out these issues, these treatments. But then another thing happens. It is dreadful, but I keep trying.
