#Monitoring Heart Health

[medicosfamilyclinic]

When it comes to maintaining your health, proactive care is key. Routine screenings like ultrasound, echocardiograms (echo), and neuropathy tests provide valuable information about your body’s internal systems. These diagnostic tools help doctors detect potential problems before they become serious, offering a window into your health that can guide future treatments. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of these screenings and how they can make a significant difference in your long-term well-being.

I’ve been awake since five am so take this with a grain of salt but why is there this weird assumption that depressed people want to be depressed? That we’re intentionally staying depressed, or choosing to be, or even sabotaging our mental health by choice?

I’ve tried 20+ antidepressants and 50+ different therapists over the years with varying degrees of success and failure. When something works, I hold on for it as long as I can. It’s never my choice to stop using something that works. It is always a really bad side effect, a therapist leaving the profession, insurance changes, etc. I have never, in my entire life, knowingly, intentionally tried to sabotage my health. I have always tried my best, in spite of everything working against me.

I try to tell every new doctor some version of this when I rate high on the depression test they do at the start of every appointment. I also try to explain that four of the questions are rated the way they are because I have ADHD and chronic illnesses that make eating and having a good attention span difficult. That I have anxiety, and my life is one stressful situation after another. I also lie every single time about being suicidal, because doctors do not understand that it’s a chronic, back-of-the-mind state of being and the fact that I’m Still Here means I know how to fucking manage it. (Hint: that therapy for intrusive thoughts helped!)

And every single time, they treat me like I’m doing it to myself. That I’m not Trying Hard Enough. That I’m making a choice to ‘not get help’. They never, once, consider that the record in front of their faces proves that all I’ve always done is try to get help. Or that I’m still here. Or that I’ve survived every deep depression I’ve been in. Or that I’m still visiting doctors at all after years of medical abuse.

The assumption is and always will be that I am intentionally making myself unhappy and not ‘fixing myself’. That I just don’t want to be happy.

And honestly? Fuck y’all for that. Because that right there is a high-tier reason people who get those suicidal thoughts get one step closer to death. That makes you ten times more dangerous to our health than anything we could fucking do, or not do.

Me, very politely in an email to my department: This would be a very long day of work, would someone be willing to help me out?

One co-worker's reply: It's just an extra hour. Stop being a whiny piss baby. Just drive four hours, do three hours work, drive another hour, do about half an hour's work, and then drive two more hours all in one day like a fucking grown-up.

So as of Friday’s report I have technically tested positive for Lyme disease.

And I do technically experience occasional shooting nerve pains, and very occasional unexplained joint pain that comes and goes, and occasional headaches with very faintly stiff neck when they’re of a tension sort.

But. Like.

Look.

I know how that list sounds. But at the same time I am looking at the prevalence of false positives for this test, and the mildness of my own symptoms, and I am thinking that this is probably not the problem??

Anyway. The effort to diagnose my twitches/jolts continues, without much luck and with some side-tracks. 😂

I just think they're neat. :}
