medical/life update, long post

hope everyone is well. I know this season can be awful, but I hope things are going okay in your lives! I feel like so much has happened in the last three or four weeks since I wrote an update? but then it feels like not much at all. but I am stressed to my breaking point at every second so anything happening seems like A Lot lol my cat isis is struggling. I feel like I'm watching her waste away and there's no reason for it. she just turned 10 last month, her blood work, urine, x-rays, mri + spinal fluid, etc have all been normal since may when her seizure issues started. cannot believe my cat has an idiopathic neuro condition and is now getting weird/rare side effects from meds like??? it stresses me tf out being this way, I can't imagine what it's like for her. it's not fair. seizures in cats are rare, let alone lasting effects. she's got another syndrome that's also rare that makes her attack her tail to the point of mauling it. it also causes bursts of zoomies and then stops to aggressively groom/attack the tail. lol back in fuckin may I asked if she had this syndrome and the vet was like 'meh' but yeah. she does I'm sure it's because of the seizures but w/e. she's gained 2lbs since may and we have no idea how. she's on a diet and the vet I spoke with two days ago said that it's already quite low on the amount of food so he doesn't want to go lower. I know my other cat eats more than isis so she's not getting the majority. they still have scheduled times and only so much in the day but it's a mix of free-feeding because they were absolute M O N S T E R S when we picked up the bowls. they still are and it stresses me out because they go where they shouldn't, knock things off tables, isis destroyed a limited edition sauron collectible 🥺 made me cry. so for everyone's sake they are half free feeders still lmao so the weight gain issue is??? one med she's on stops the obsessive behavior with her tail but caused incontinence. which is also rare in cats. the vet kept saying she was a 'unique kitty' and I swear I wanted to cry lol AT LEAST VETS BELIEVE WHAT I'M TELLING THEM EVEN IF IT'S WEIRD waiting on labs and a full urinalysis w/culture to see if there's anything going on, but we went back to a lower dose on the one med causing it and her obsessive behavior is coming back. I'm so stressssseddddd she goes between having a good amount of energy and being super lethargic. she can't groom herself anymore down there because of the weight gain. she kind of wheezes and snorts/snuffles if she tries and also if she's just in a position that puts pressure on her lungs and guys it breaks my heart. she's been a steady weight for probably 8yrs? with none of these problems and listening to her have trouble is hurting me. she only gained weight when she got on gabapentin (hey I'm on that too!) and then when we switched to pregabalin but her neuro is like 'nahhhh' about it causing weight gain???? her main vet was like uhh we rarely see cats on anti-convulsants, let alone two, and they have increased appetite/weight gain as a side effect lordt. neuro prescribes these all the fucking time. looking it up online and so many people talk about their cats gaining weight on them but NAAAHHHHHH. fuckin hate doctors all around I swear wow that was a lot about isis, but she is my priority right now. love her with all my heart. she's been with me through the worst of it all and I just want her to be healthy and thriving again :c anyway. my head got bad enough that I called my neuro and he spoke with me for 22min on the phone and wasn't pushy or rushed and expressed sympathy it was so bad. told me to call him the next week to let him know how I was doing. I think it's real lol but yeah got the full diagnosis of IIH with secondary migraines. which pretty much everyone with IIH has secondary migraines started the brain juice reducing med. scares me A LOT. today I started my second week which means I'm taking it twice a day now hnnn. he said to give it a while so we can see how it really works for decreasing pressure inside of my skull,

especially when I get up to the desired dose. I'm getting some side effects already, they started on the third day. but they're pretty mild. still, he said if they become bothersome to stop taking it and it's like the only medicine that could potentially stop my suffering so I don't really. want to. I read a ton of reviews of the med and people said that they'd rather live with the side effects even if they suck because IIH is a million times worse and unbearable to live with. they also said for the people who stopped the med, their doctors said people stop it thinking the side effects are harmful when they're not at all it's basically pins and needles/numbness/tingling. if I get it just because of the way I'm sitting it'll last about 3x as long as normal and be much worse. I've had it in my lips and around my mouth, which is super weird lol but again, that's mild. it's mostly affected by cold temps, which I've noticed from like washing my hands or eating cereal. I can live with this, I just hope it doesn't go from mild to severe when I'm up to the right dose even tho my neuro is nice and supportive (for now) he is like any other doctor and keeps fucking shit up lmao I was supposed to get an mri this month but yeah that ain't happening. hopefully in the first week of january to make sure nothing has worsened got a referral to go see an IIH/migraine specialist tho FINALLY so I'm excited about that yay!!! obgyn stuff is all good! my lady parts are normal!!! yay! GI doctor has gotten to the point of shrugging helplessly and said if it gets any worse to let him know but otherwise abdominal stuff is a mystery!!! yay! got a new therapist specializing in trauma!!! I have my second appt with her today and she seems pretty good so far. hopefully it'll continue to be that way. yay! I do really like my rainbow pill case. as @angelsallfire said, it's a tackle box tho (pls this made me laugh so hard). this thing is massive lmao. it has four slots for each day and it makes me sad to see I'm swallowing like 18 or 19 pills a day but w/e that's the chronic pain/mystery illnesses life I guess I got it because I can't remember shit anymore and I had a day of absolute terror thinking isis might have eaten one b/c it was gone from the case but the one I take with it was still here and I could not remember if I took it or not. tried my ring camera to see but it didn't catch it. the whole panicking and shaking out blankets/cushions/calling mom who is rushing over, trying to keep an eye on isis, called the emergency vet who told me to call the ASPCA?? like the prevention of animal cruelty people? you're an emergency vet, surely you must know? did they think I poisoned my cat on purpose? anyway. my mom fills my pill case cause my sensory issues can't take the noise and iih can't take the movement. she glanced at it and realized she forgot that pill for the entire week in the morning so it was never in there my heart is gonna give out soon I swear like two days before my GI shrugged helplessly, I decided fuck it, life is short, I'm making a cajun roast chicken for Christmas because I WANT TO and my mom is all for it so I'm really excited for that at least, even if it might kill me LOL. but yeah two days later my GI was like 'no more spicy food' *sighs in arizona* my diet is like 80% southwestern food spice is my life. still gonna make my cajun roast chicken and try to have an okay Christmas. I haven't seen my family cats in a year and that was only for a few hours. I've missed two years of their lives and it hurts a lot, so even if I have to take an extra Brain, Pls Calm Down pill I'm gonna do it man hope y'all have a happy holiday season or at the very least a good December sorry for ranting and being all over the place I am severely fatigued. but I love you all very much, you're amazing, you're a bright spot in my life, and I am sending my love to you because you deserve it a million times over. please be safe and well

Im so fuking STEAMED abt Titans but its a very TRIVIAL thing abt it

bc the way that DC’s been hyping up their DCU app, it sounded like Titans was meant to be an EXCLUSIVE content/feature. and here they are turning around and giving Netflix the rights to stream it???? within days of releasing on the app i guess?

it’s like the Constantine: City of Demons thing all over again. first they say its a miniseries! Then they only release a few “episodes” which barely make a cobbled together regular 22min ep, and THEN they turn around AGAIN and decide to release it as a (direct to video ofc) movie???

obvsly the plan was for a movie-length runtime, so why not just SAY its gonna be a movie in the first place? why all the hoops?

why go through all the trouble of hyping up your EXCLUSIVE app if you’re just going to let another (COMPETING) service ALSO stream your content?

unless they’re playing a long game by letting Netflix have that one, but NOT access to their other stuff (Swamp Thing, YJ, Harley Quinn, etc), so using it as a way to Entice streamers to paying for the service later on in the season cycle?

but even that makes little sense. bc they’ve already pulled so many DC properties off of Netflix clearly in prep for the DCU app release (JL & JLU, The Batman, YJ all come to mind, as well as the various Batman movies) so why let them have that one?

This is all really convoluted complaining on my end, bc it could’ve been much worse for me (if they’d gone with letting Hulu have it for ex.) but like??? it’s just a VERY confusing marketing strategy to me. esp since it wasn’t shared in the first place that it was going to be shared with Netflix.

EDIT/UPDATE: i guess APPARENTLY it’s only INTERNATIONALLY available on netflix. but US exclusive to the DCU app.

THAT makes much more sense. but needs to be MUCH clearer on those damn trailers that they keep releasing. what a fuckin nightmare

dc what is u doin???? why this?
