MCYT Physically Disabled Week!!

Day 7: Free Day!

Thanks to the mods of @mcytphysicaldisabilityweek for hosting this event!

I chose free day because I gave Tommy what I have, May Thurner/Nutcracker syndrome! Which is kinda a weird one but here's a quick explanation:

May Thurner is a compression of your iliac vein (in your hip) and Nutcracker Syndrome is a compression of your left renal vein (kidney). While many people actually walk around with these conditions and are fine, a teeny tiny percentage of people, like me, suffer debilitating symptom that include swelling, tachycarida, abdominal, back (<- more common with Nutcracker Syndrome), chest, and leg pain, and severe intolerance of walking, standing, and even sitting upright (hence the near-flat wheelchair, which is actually modeled after the one I use.)

It's not a very fun set of conditions, and it's made worse by the fact that having it severe enough to be treated is extremely rare, and thus there aren't many places that treat it. So for this art chommy is just like me: bedridden and slowly loosing social skills.

If you would like to know more about May Thurner or Nutcracker syndrome, please ask!

US Representative Lauren Boebert’s experience with May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) has brought this rare vascular condition into the spotlight. This article dives deeper into understanding MTS, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.

this has less of a direct relationship to mental state (although averse physical symptoms can affect someone's mental state obviously) but some things i never see mentioned are adenomyosis and vascular issues/pelvic congestion syndrome

adenomyosis is when endometrial tissue grows inside the uterine wall and can cause many of the same symptoms that endometriosis can (heavy bleeding, severe cramping, pain w/ intercourse, etc.)

pelvic congestion syndrome can cause chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, gastrointestinal and bladder issues, and can come with some other symptoms depending on different factors (some people have it secondary to May-Thurner Syndrome or Nutcracker Syndrome)

due to the overlap in symptom profile either of these can be mistaken for endometriosis based on symptoms alone without sufficient diagnostic practice (if they're not occurring alongside it that is)

So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor

Cracking the Code: Understanding the Symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome

May-Thurner Syndrome is a vascular condition that often goes undetected due to its subtle symptoms. However, being aware of these symptoms is crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment. In this article, we will delve into the signs and signals that may indicate the presence of may thurner syndrome symptoms, empowering readers to recognize and address this condition promptly.

Symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome

What is May-Thurner Syndrome?

May-Thurner Syndrome, also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, occurs when the left iliac vein becomes compressed by the right iliac artery. This compression can lead to various symptoms, which may vary in severity from person to person.

Common Symptoms to Watch Out For:

Leg Swelling: One of the hallmark symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome is swelling in the affected leg. This swelling may be mild at first but can progressively worsen over time.

Leg Pain or Discomfort: Individuals with May-Thurner Syndrome may experience pain, aching, or discomfort in the affected leg. This discomfort may worsen with prolonged standing or sitting.

Varicose Veins: The development of varicose veins in the affected leg is another common symptom of May-Thurner Syndrome. These enlarged, twisted veins may be visible beneath the skin and can cause discomfort or heaviness.

Skin Changes: Changes in the skin of the affected leg, such as discoloration or the development of ulcers, may occur in advanced cases of May-Thurner Syndrome. These changes can indicate compromised blood flow and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): In some cases, May-Thurner Syndrome may predispose individuals to the formation of blood clots in the deep veins of the leg, a condition known as deep superficial thrombophlebitis. Symptoms of DVT include pain, swelling, warmth, and redness in the affected leg.

Conclusion:

Recognizing the symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome is the first step toward diagnosis and treatment. If you or someone you know experiences any of the aforementioned symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Early detection and intervention can help prevent complications and improve outcomes for individuals affected by this condition.

Hi I’m Missy,

I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) in 2007 by a tilt table test ordered by a cardiologist. My symptoms were mainly low blood pressure and fainting. At that time I had mild POTS symptoms. I was able to work full time and go to school full time.

Fast forward to the end of 2013 where I had knee surgery. I had a rocky recovery and my POTS was flaring up. In April 2014 I was checking in at my physical therapy appointment and I fell unconscious at the check in desk. From what I’m told my heart stopped and they had to perform CPR. I was rushed to a heart hospital where they did a CT scan. I had two massive pulmonary embolisms in each lung. My now husband was told I wouldn’t live through the night as my numbers were not good.

After four days in ICU I walked out of the hospital. Little did I know my body was going to be triggered to the point of making illnesses I had that were dormant to now being active. Today, my POTS is severe to the point of me using a walker and sometimes a wheelchair. I also have the following:

Gastroparesis

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS type 3)

Mass Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD)

May Thurner Syndrome

Nutcracker Syndrome

Chronic Migraines

Anxiety/Depression

Fibromyalgia

This is just some of what I deal with every single day. So why do I share this? Because I want to show people you can live a happy life and can still reach your dreams. Positivity for me is key. It doesn’t mean I never have bad days. It means I try to find one good thing every day in my life. I had to find a “new normal.”

This blog is going to show my journey with POTS as well as raise awareness and support others who struggle with this illness. My asks and messenger is open to anyone who needs to reach out.

You are NOT alone 💙

Author Update

I’ve been very absent from around these parts. It hasn’t gone unnoticed apparently, and for everyone that’s checked in/sent positive messages, you guys are the best!!

Here’s the quick & dirty of it:

1) I’m not dead.

2) Work has been hella busy.

3) I’ve been dealing with some health problems that are not life-threatening but have been life-altering.

The 1 Year Anniversary of this blog will be January 12 (WHAT! CRAZY!). I’m trying to come up with something to show my appreciation but I also don’t wanna get myself into a corner if I can’t make it happen. TBD.

All in all, I love you guys. A lot. I hope you’re all doing great and I’m always thinking of you guys and sending out positive vibes. I miss writing, and I know that I’ll get back to it when the time is right (this weekend? next week? next few weeks?). I haven’t run out of ideas.

#LiveBlogLushBlog isn’t dead, just on a hiatus. My liver is appreciative.

Be well, everyone. If you ever need advice from your Friendly Neighborhood Social Worker, I’m still here.

For a more detailed explanation of #3 above, please see below.

SO.

Here’s the whole “medical” portion of my deal, as I know a lot of you will have questions and I’m just gonna put it out there to start.

In March 2016 out of nowhere, I randomly developed swelling in my left ankle. It came and went, and it seemed to just be associated with use. Blood clot was ruled out. It wasn’t a big deal. My job requires me to be on my feet for a lot of my day, so it made sense on busier days it was worse. It also went away at random, and it wasn’t affecting me in any way. I wore a compression ankle sleeve and I was fine.

Fast forward to a year later, it’s becoming more consistent. Come the late spring of 2017, the swelling is happening every day and is now down into my foot. Again though, it seemed to be worse with being on my feet and would go down at night.

As of July, however, it’s every day. And it’s steadily getting worse through the weeks. I wear the compression sleeve on my ankle, and the swelling just goes around where it’s compressing. The swelling is in my whole foot, my ankle, and up into my calf a bit. It’s noticeable to many.

I started water pills in late October, thinking that would help. It did for about a week. Then the swelling came back. And for the first time in this whole ordeal, I also had pain. Pain in my ankle, in my calf, in my knee, in the bottom of my foot... So I go back to the doctor. They try me on a different water pill and more of it. Again, they rule out a blood clot with another doppler.

New pill does nothing. The swelling continues to be worse. It’s super noticeable. I started to call it The Sausage Leg Saga. I can no longer wear sneakers or boots because I can’t get them on. My flats are my best friends.

So I was referred to a vascular surgeon and I had that appointment yesterday. The nurse’s reaction of “heaven’s to Betsy!” upon seeing my foot/ankle was not comforting.

I had another doppler done today and again there is no clot. I have a CT scan scheduled for the 21st. And a physical therapist appointment for Jan 4 so they can do a specific type of wrapping on my leg to help with the swelling.

The current two top diagnoses that the vascular surgeon thinks are either:

A) May Thurner Syndrome (a rare disorder involving a higher leg left vein being compressed by the artery)

B) Lymphedema (blockage of lymphatic vessels)

If it’s MTS, I will likely need a surgery to put a stent into the vein. If it’s Lymphedema there’s no cure, and it’s gonna basically be a lot of physical management and wearing of ugly compression stockings. The CT scan will hopefully give answers to what it is. 

Or it could be C) none of the above, and we’ll just start over figuring this out. Becuase none of my symptoms line up perfectly for either. Which is fitting, because my family likes to be difficult when it comes to medical things.

These possible issues also explain why I have been so exhausted after work and am currently battling my third cold in 6 weeks. These things affect my overall well-being as well (especially if it’s lymphedema, because like, that’s literally the immune system). I have come home from work every day and taken a nap for weeks now. I just felt lazy, but I’m being told now I’m not which is nice.

The one positive to all this is being told repeatedly you’re too young and too healthy to be having these kinds of issues. I like that. Keep telling me that, docs.

So yep. I’m fine, and this will be fine, and I’m not looking at it like it's super serious because no one has given me any indication I need to. I think it’ll all work out and be OK in the end. It’s just been a hella long road and I’ve got miles ahead until the end.

Managing Stress About Giving Your Kids Your Chronic Illness

Raising kids is stressful enough. But parents living with chronic illnesses may face the added concern of passing their own diseases on to their kids. Mariah Z. Leach – a mother of two with rheumatoid arthritis – shares her perspective and the insights of four other moms living with chronic illnesses.

“At least in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, first-degree relatives have just slightly increased odds being diagnosed with the disease as well.”

When my husband and I decided to start a family after my rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis, one of the first questions that came to mind was whether I could pass my disease on to my children. Personally, I dealt with the stress of this possibility by learning more about genetics and the science behind my condition.

While scientists don’t know exactly what causes RA, they do know that it is a multifactorial disease. This means that it is caused by a complicated interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors. In other words, it simply isn’t possible to directly pass RA on to my kids, which reduced some of my stress. What I can pass on are genes that could make them more susceptible to developing RA or another autoimmune disease someday. But even this risk is quite small.

According to the American College of Rheumatology, RA is found in 0.5% of the general population. By comparison, the disease rate in parents, siblings, and children of RA patients is only 0.8%. So, at least in the case of RA, first-degree relatives have only a slightly increased risk of being diagnosed with the disease as well. The American College of Rheumatology posits that environmental factors (age, gender, etc.) are likely to play a much stronger role.

“I actually did pass my disease on to my daughter. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Every single day. Would I do things differently and not have children? No.”

In my case, understanding the science has been enough to quell my worries. But I know there are plenty of parents with chronic illnesses who do feel anxiety about this issue. There are also diseases where the risk of being passed on to kids is much higher. So I turned to some other amazing mamas living with chronic illnesses for additional advice on this topic:

 “I’m extremely worried that my genetic predisposition to blood clots has been passed to my children – especially my daughter because a surge in hormones (pregnancy or contraceptives) can cause blood clots. I have to stay positive and focused on making sure that my children and I stay as educated as possible about our risk factors. My biggest advice is to ask as many questions as possible. And if you’re unsure about something or you don’t feel comfortable with the direction a doctor wants to go, then seek another opinion.”  - Debra, living with elevated factor VIII, May Thurner Syndrome, asthma, and parathyroidism (mom to kids, ages 19 & 3)

 “I actually did pass my disease on to my daughter. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Every single day. Would I do things differently and not have children? No. I wouldn’t change anything. I think the best advice I can offer anyone is to follow your gut if you suspect something is off with your child. See the right specialist. Be the squeaky wheel if they blow you off. Chances are it will be nothing, but your peace of mind is worth all the trouble you might go through to be told you’re overreacting.” - Stacey, living with sero negartive rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia (mom to kids, ages 15 & 12)

“I am worried about passing my disease or another autoimmune disorder on to my son. But I’m comforted knowing that I can watch for the symptoms and know what to do.”

“I am worried about passing my disease or another autoimmune disorder on to my son. But I’m comforted knowing that I can watch for the symptoms and know what to do. I know I’ll be a good medical advocate for him and will be able to help him through my own experiences. I also try to remember that it’s out of my hands. Yes, genetics play a role, but it’s not the end-all-be-all of anything.” - Cristina, living with ulcerative colitis (mom to kid, age 8 months)

 “I absolutely worry about passing my disease on to my kiddos. I feel super guilty, but if I would have known before having kids I would 100% without a doubt still have them. I have managed my guilt by going to therapy and being proactive...Growing up with a mom who is chronically ill has also taught [my kids] compassion, understanding, and a helpfulness that makes me proud of them to my core!”  - Sarah, living with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (mom to kids, ages 13 & 9)

 None of us ever want to see our children diagnosed with the diseases we live with. But it helps me to remember that – in the unlikely event that it happens – I have the experience to advocate for my kids, so they could be diagnosed and treated quickly. And, despite the challenges involved, I wouldn’t change having my kids for the world!

Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 25, she now works to empower patients and raise awareness about arthritis and other chronic illnesses. She shares her story of motherhood with chronic illness on her blog, From This Point. Forward.
