So let's see, what can I do to manage my chronic conditions:
-Destress (HAH uhhh we live in capitalism)
-Try a diet designed to get rid of inflammation (okay but how do I do that on $200 a month, I'm poor)
-Get mild exercise (Okay if my heart could stop having palpitations and my fatigue could let me I would)
-Have healthcare (easier said than done, especially if you don't live in a state with easy Medicaid)
-Apply for Disability (LMAO like it's easy)
I'm not even making excuses. This is real fucking life.

i love to eat dried seaweed … i have hashimoto’s thyroiditis and the iodine in seaweed helps calm some of the symptoms (alongside my meds ofc) and the umami of seaweed also helps with meat cravings since i dont eat meat :3 plussss the salt content helps increase my blood pressure
not to mention makes me feel like a lil fox who just found the most awesomest snack ever by the ocean mmmmm

A collection of some of the unhinged "solutions" I've stated for various health/pain issues. Anyone else talk like this about things? I'm curious if so~
"I want to crack open my bunion like a geode."
"Can I just cut open my heel and use an emery board on my heel spur?"
"I want my pelvic bone spatch-cocked like a chicken"
"Crack my tailbone like a glowstick."
"Can I tap my skull like a sugar maple to relieve the pressure?" (yes I know trepanning and spinal taps are things but this is different in my head)
"I want to go to (Mortal Kombat) Sub-Zero Chiropractic, he could fix me." (this is a joke I've seen before but it has never left my head)
"I want to butterfly my plantar fascii/hip flexor like a chicken breast to release the tension"
"If I chop off my leg, it can't hurt me anymore"
"Clear out my hip with an ice cream scoop"
"I want to get rid of my thyroid. I know it won't fix anything, but fuck that traitorous bastard."

so. disabled girlies (in the usa). how difficult is it to switch to a new disability lawyer if you already have one helping with your case. because. mine wasnt answering my calls and emails for. about 3 months. and i called again today and left a voice mail that was like 'hey [name], i just wanted to call again and see if my emails and messages are going through since i havent heard from you in a bit. please give me a call back when you can, thanks.' & she Did call back a few minutes later. and she told me that saying what i did in the voicemail made me 'sound whiny and manipulative' & that she *had* reached out to me a while back and that *i* hadn't touched base since. and 'don't you know that if an email doesn't go through it will tell you? i see *all* my emails. you had mentioned memory problems when we spoke before, right? you should get that checked.' and uh. i cried for 30 minutes after that and. kinda really don't want to work with her anymore. so. yeah. any advice would be appreciated.

Happy disability pride to those with thyroid conditions, whether it’s hypothyroid or hyperthyroidism. Thyroid issues suck!! If you are struggling with your thyroid issues, know you’re not alone

Today is a bad energy day. I’m so tired. I’m feeling it on a molecular level and no amount of tea is going to help.

today my doctor said that i *definitely* have an autoimmune disease and told me that i was right from the start, and that i know my body, and thanked me for persisting. i’m going to endocrinology for a hashimotos diagnosis sometime soon.
(previously, she would insist it was mental health related during a lot of our time together, but i would always strongly disagree)
character development 😌

Today marks my first Zepbound shot. I’m nervous.
I don’t actually think I’m excited. If anything, I’m a little disappointed that I was able to get here in my own. In a little over a year I’ve managed to change my sugar, my cholesterol, and my liver function tests…
…and my whole lifestyle, really.
But I haven’t changed my weight. And my A1C is somehow WORSE than when I started.
I would be lying if I didn’t say that today felt like a”last hurrah” food-wise, and I know I shouldn’t do that, either. But the nausea scares me SO MUCH. And I LOVE food. I love the flavor and the feel and the comfort.
So I had steak and a glass of Prosecco and a bag of chips and there will be ice cream later. Today is NOT a day that exemplifies the changes I’ve made to my diet or my relationship with food. Today is a major backslide.
My dietician might tell me there’s no bad foods, but my lifetime of diet culture tells me I should be ashamed of how I ate today.
But in some ways I’m happy, because in 10 years I haven’t been able to get what’s going on with me under control, even with getting my thyroid treated. And I hate myself.
I hate myself.
I hate the way I look, I hate the way I feel.
Even with trying to cone to terms with the idea of being overweight for the rest of my life if I could JUST GET HEALTHY I still hate myself.
Today is February 3, 2024. I weight 210 lbs. I am 43.8% fat. My A1C is 5.9.
Tonight, I take my first Zepbound shot.
I’m going to use this blog as a diary of sorts, and keep it as anonymous as I can make it. Hopefully so I can see how far I’ve come one day in the future.
If you feel like coming along for the ride, please do.

So apparently even though I counted from my paystubs, my work is saying I don't meet the minimum hour requirement for FMLA.
So here's their ultimate test of bullshittery. The only way I can go back to work is if they let me work 20 hours a week in 4 hour per day increments. Let's see if the STATE can handle that.

its kinda upsetting that i look forward to the spring/summer from January—whenever it gets warm & then I remember that the sun makes me incredibly sickly for no reason.
Light sensitivity? POW! Nausea? POW! Inability to regulate heightened body temperature? POW! Sun sickness after 20 minutes? POW!
luckily i dont usually stay out long enough to burn, but man its so frustrating. at least i can enjoy rainy days more than the average human
