#Asthma flare-ups

[firminfollowing]

Me when my chronic disability is actually chronic and disabling:

Me, thinking about going out and hanging out with people:

My lungs: Don't even think about it. I'll flare up. I'll make you regret it. You want to feel like you're dying? In public? Go out and try it, bitch

God is dead

I just had to use my inhaler for asthmatic wheezing, because I ate Ice Cream

I ate ice cream and my pulmonary system decided that was a crime punishable by a mild revocation of my breathing privileges

wtf

I gotta say on the one hand it's kind of frustrating that I can't get diagnosis or treatment for my symptoms disease*, and on the other hand it's more than a little funny that the medication that just so happens to treat my symptoms disease** is also the medication given to me by doctors for asthma or allergy flareups. Also, the medication that's been like "doesn't fix it completely but sure as hell helps a LOT" was not actually prescribed for my endocrine issue! It was prescribed for salt wasting syndrome, a thing that is not actually a diagnosis (because two opposite things are called that)*** I am not a medical professional do not take any of this as medical advice, I'm just venting

*aka whatever is wrong with my endocrine system. I don't have an official diagnosis, just many different specialists going "yeah that's...not supposed to happen. Sounds like something is wrong with your endocrine system and it might be autoimmune" **corticosteroids ***there are two things that can be called salt wasting syndrome: cerebral salt wasting syndrome, and SIADH. From what I've heard from various doctors, the treatment for the two things are pretty much the complete opposite, even though the symptoms present the same.

God I swear I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom talking about my health I know it’s annoying I just really need a break and everyone irl is already done with my shit bc I’ve been too anxious to go back to the doctor bc the last one told me I’d just have to deal with it and potentially get more surgeries and I’m 23 dude. It took nearly 3 years before my doctor even agreed that that surgery was necessary and it didn’t even fully fix my shit it just lessened the pain — which I’m grateful for, don’t get me wrong! But I haven’t had full limb function in my left arm since I was 15 and they made it sound like the surgery would fix it and then acted like I was overreacting when it didn’t. And my left leg has been deeply fucked for nearly as long, and at least slightly fucked at least since I hit double digits, and has gotten progressively worse. So like I know, I get it that I need to go to a doctor, but why would it go better now? What’s going to make a doctor take me seriously now?

I want to be angry, but I’m too tired.
