#I was able to get my inhaler

Almost died of a severe asthma attack yesterday. I went for a run, forgot air gets drier and thinner when it’s cold, left my inhaler in my room. I stopped the run early to go to my room and get my inhaler, but I couldn’t get the drawer open, so I started panicking, and that only made my attack worse.
I’m all good now except I feel this overwhelming urge to pray constantly and go to church. Not quite sure why. Idk what it means. But that’s a thing now, just like a random life update ig.
#maybe it’s because when I was dying I cried out to God to help me#despite not identifying as any religion for a while#except right after I called on God I was saved#I was able to get my inhaler#which let me breathe long enough to get help#tw death mention#tw death#near death experience#tw near death#asthma#asthma attack#tw religion#religion#religion mention#tw religion mention#also this is the closest I’ve been to death since becoming a fictive#it’s not fun#I don’t like it#it’s scary#when you know that if you die it’s over#you get this primal urge to survive#I never had that before#I didn’t like almost dying

General PSA: the strains of flu going around this season have been especially severe. "104°F/39.5°C fevers feat. multiple symptoms for a week straight" kind of severe.
Now is a good time to remember the importance and utility in prevention. If you haven't been masking recently, this is a great reminder to start again. Did you put off your flu vaccine for the season? It's still worth taking the time to get it! If you're taking care of somebody with a known flu infection, or are a high risk individual exposed to the virus, you can ask a doctor for a Tamiflu prescription as a preventative.
Take what precautions you can for others, too – even if you do get sick. If you're feeling unwell, stay home as best you can. If you have to venture out, take extra precautions (e.g. social distancing, making sure your KN95 is properly fitted, etc.). Be mindful of shared spaces with those you live with, especially when coughing or sneezing.
Remember: flu season is considered to run from October to May in the northern hemisphere, and May to October in the southern hemisphere. The rollout for the upcoming season's vaccine usually starts 2-4 weeks beforehand. Everybody over the age of 6 months should try to get their flu vaccine ASAP. Your shot needs 2 weeks for your immune system to build antibodies, and it will last you a full 6 months. Getting it at the beginning of the season means the fullest protection possible.
Just remember: as individuals, the best way we can contribute to public health is through preventative care, and mindfulness of other's wellbeing and needs. So, please take care of yourselves and each other! You're never too late to start. :)
#open mic night#public health#psa#hi. can you tell i caught the flu from my beautiful wifey.#i'm actually writing this because i'm really thankful for this year's flu vaccine#i get sick every flu season. sometimes multiple times. and the drift from the vaccine to the circulating viruses can be brutal.#this is the first time in a while i've caught the flu and it's been miraculously mild.#like it is as bad as the doctor was telling wifey. i have basically every influenza symptom possible. but they've been extremely limited.#temp hit 100.4° briefly. i feel like i'm having an above average pain day with low spoons. my tummy hurts. it feels like i have hay fever.#but i've been able to do things and i've been pretty alright with OTC flu medicine. haven't even needed to use my inhaler much.#meanwhile the human health tank that is my darling sunflower was out cold for 3 or 4 days#it's a reversal that makes me really thankful for the medical care i have access to. this is the shit that can kill people like me!!!

So I always, always have my phone on me because I have various health issues that could make me end up on the floor so it's a safety thing for me, so I can always call for help. I'm not sure how common that is though?
This poll partially inspired by conversations with my grandma, who does not keep her phone or her Life Alert button thing with her but probably should
#the person behind the yarn#based partially on a conversation with my grandma#who does think it's kind of weird I always have my phone in reach#like. ALWAYS. my phone is ALWAYS in reach#the only exception is if I am in the same room as a family member and get up to like go get a snack or something#I might leave my phone on the couch while I do that but only if I am either in line of sight#or will definitely be heard if I fall#like. I have not fallen and not been able to reach a phone often?#just the one time but it was a memorable experience#well okay twice but one time I was in earshot of my dad#and another time I had a bad asthma attack and couldn't stand up to get my inhaler#but did have my phone in my pocket so I was able to call for help#so like. I ALWAYS have my phone charged and in my pocket

I was really hoping we'd get a deeper exploration into the trauma of the Tenno children and how they were exploited when New War threw up that content warning but it was really just the one scene where you make the deal with Wally.
#girlbob.txt#warframe#the new war#which was good dont get me wrong but i thought we were gonna delve deep enough to actually warrant such a cw#i cant remember what exactly it was but it made the quest sound much darker than it was#the tenno kids are my favorite underexplored part of the story tbh#wish we'd meet some of the others and be able to bond with them#*inhales to say more and then walks away*

sometimes I believe that My tendency to avoid telling My family when I'm having health issues is just the result of avoidant cognitive distortions, but then I actually do it, get told that it's "normal" and/or a lifestyle issue, and realize the real cognitive distortion was expecting help at all -_-
#personal#I'm struggling to breathe and My heart rate is high. inhaler doesn't help. go tell My mom about it and she says#1. try again. 2. drink water. 3. eat a mint. 4. I'm getting fat#and then last time I told her about this same issue she said#1. I have anxiety from too much silence (I'm auditorily hypersensitive? noise gives Me anxiety not the other way around)#2. I'm so sedentary that it's only natural that standing up would give Me tachycardia (I obviously stand up multiple times a day everyday)#3. I don't need a therapist (which I've been asking for) I need a physician#and it's just a ton of excuses to deny what I'm saying. because how is it just in My head but I need a physician?? make up your mind#am I crazy or sick. it's literally just whatever makes Me look like I need the least intervention in that moment#medical neglect is a bitch man. it's not even that she doesn't want Me to be healthy. she absolutely does#but she just never wants to believe that it's THAT bad. I can't have anxiety because it's just cabin fever#I can't be delusional because I'm just spiritually gifted. I can't have an arrhythmia because I'm just fat. so on and so forth#she constantly doubts that I'm doing anything for My health on My own (I literally asked for a fitness boxing game this christmas#and yet she doesn't believe that I exercise in My own time until I outright tell her)#and never believes that I'm suffering beyond something that can easily be solved. it's so patronizing#she acts like I've never heard of breathing exercises for anxiety or exercise for hypertension. everyone knows that!!#you acknowledge that I know so much EXCEPT when Me being knowledgeable on a subject would mean that I'd be able to recognize when My health#is failing. once she said she thought I had hypochondria as a child and I increasingly believe that influences how she sees My health today#she said she never told a doctor because she didn't want Me to be dismissed in adulthood and yet she does that same thing to Me#and honestly I do get anxious about My health! I developed contamination OCD when I was fucking eight!#but that doesn't mean that I'm just being compulsive whenever I suggest a need for medical/psychiatric attention!

what if there were drugs that worked and were not bad. Would that be cool or what.
#I'm in a side effects hell of my own making#me when I can't breathe good: oh right I have an inhaler for this!#me 10 minutes later suffering every side effect at once: oh right that's why i don't fucking take this#Not every side effect. I don't get any of the dangerous ones. But it Feels Bad man!!#Briefly excited that I was able to find robust information on asthma meds beyond albuterol#Dashed when i realized most of the recommendations are around fluticasone which I had an exciting rare side effect from#Which my doctor at the time was a total butt about 'that doesn't happen' but guess what I found in the medical literature!#Also an article talking about albuterol side effects that was like#'side effects are rare! 1 in 5 users report tremors and also another 20% report jitters; anxiety; racing thoughts...'#I don't know what you think rare means.

#mort.txt#men used to build houses. men used to win wars. but now? now you smoke 1 ciggy you found on a desk in the woods n get lung cancer#i did admittedly fuck around with that shit lit in my mouth for like 4 hours so he definitely inhaled the burning filter#(cancer is just the in-game terminology for ur max hp getting decreased btw u also get it from radiation.#cigs stop ur stamina from going down for a while so it worth it if ur at like 15 sleep in the woods)#small price to pay to be able to drunk drive while smoking on the atv doing hash codes tbh

I hate the fact that warrior cats has such a grip on me. I ADORED this series when i was 12 years old, I devoured this crap and many other ya novels; but now, over a decade later whenever I randomly pick up a book to read I can barely force myself to read 100 pages let alone more. EXCEPT FOR WARRIOR CATS lmao, give me a bestseller to read and I dont know if I'll finish it no matter how damn interesting, the moment I randomly pick up a warriors book I devour the whole thing in like a day or two. Nice to know my taste is still cringe
#warrior cats#very random post but I had to get it out here#i vividly remember not being able to finish a random murakami book#and then i finished moonrise in like a day#I INHALED IT#i vividly remember waiting for my train after college and reading the damn thing#too fucking old for warriors too immature for anything else smh#anyhow I never read the whole 8 series or whatever cause honestly im a bit scared to let my impulse go that far#and i think this cat hell has had enough of a grip on me#my taste is cringe or erin hunter is using some witchcraft on these books

just like blacked out and fell down in the bathroom so hard that I can barely walk. parkour
#not really sure what happened#i have a twice daily flovent inhaler which is like a medication inhaler#and sometimes when im holding my breath after breathing it in i get rlly dizzy and start shaking uncontrollably#for like a couple of minutes sometimes too. idk what it is#but today that happened and then i remember like. seeing the cabinets as i hit the ground#and then they pain hit and i started screaming which i was very vaguely aware of but idk i was really disoriented#and my partner ran in and was obviously very freaked out. i finally fully came to and realized i must've fallen#my toothbrush and toothpaste were on the ground bc i was just abt to brush the flovent out of my mouth#i scraped the fuck out of my knees and arm. my toes mustve bent way too far bc i can barely move them. must've landed hard on my knees too#one of my wrists and my neck are also fucked up. not really sure what happened there#very freaked out tho! my partner too! not rlly sure how im gonna explain the pain to my pt tomorrow...... hope im able to walk better#formerly ori/ons/belts

I am once again in insurance hell, so let me reiterate: Aetna is the worst health insurance company I’ve ever had to deal with. Avoid it if you can.
#the person behind the yarn#tj is in insurance hell#swearing#fuck aetna#they won't cover my damn inhalers#and I keep getting calls and emails from their customer service team#because they keep sending me damn surveys#and I keep filling them out#and rating them poorly because surprise! their service is terrible!#they are not covering a single damn one of my preventative medications#well. they are covering singulair#so they are covering a single damn one#the only other medication they are covering is my fludrocortisone#which is....not really a preventative medication?#I mean it improves my quality of life SIGNIFICANTLY#in that I am able to be upright and conscious most of the day now#but it's not like...preventing allergic reactions or asthma attacks or anything#hm. not sure where the line is there#but also it's a long term steroid so if any of my meds are likely to have significant long term side effects#it's that one. that one is likely to fuck me up long term#and they cover that one no problem????#I mean I am very glad they do but what the fuck#cover my damn rescue inhaler

I told my aunt that I’m tired from longer work hours, stress and my upcoming deadlines so she asked if I wanted pie.
This slice of pie is the size of the plate. 😭
Aunt: You need the sugar to keep you awake. Me: Do you want me to never sleep again? I’ve already had 2 coffees and a caffeinated soda. Aunt: And now a slice of pie.
#mumblings#i'm exaggerating#but this is too much pie#for the moment#my afternoon snack plan was toast 🤣#it's key lime that my uncle got yesterday because the last time he tried to get pie it flew out of the cart and smashed all over the floor#and he was so bummed so he was determined to try again#and I think it's because my cousin and aunt inhaled the tiramisu I made in like two days 😅#anyway I was able to talk to the person I needed to talk to and I was 1000% over thinking the project#so I have a draft done and just need to edit it tonight#so it's okay#it may even out because last time I underthought about it till the midnight hour 🤣😅
