#anemia problems

[puppypawprintce]

anyone else out there think severus is just a chronic pain haver. i know the dark mark pain is real, but i feel like he might be miserable in more ways than just mentally in other ways

theo raeken headcanons

some headcanons that are present in nearly all of my wips, so y'all still get my incredibly correct opinions on theo even if these stories don't see the light of day.

because of being experimented on by the dread doctors he has a lot of gaps in his memory. not just from their abilities, but also because of the modified mercury! he doesn't remember most of his life before the doctors, and is missing some parts from after too. from time to time he still forgets things he shouldn't.

didn't really speak when he was a kid, even before he was taken by the dread doctors. the few times he spoke were to his sister or mother, but it was still mostly short sentences.

his mother died before tara, when he was 5, from a pulmonary stenosis complication. he also had that same condition, and his father got very protective of him after his mother's death.

he's a mama's boy deep down. he doesn't really remember why he is, but the first time jenna asked if he wanted to stay for dinner he almost started crying.

in addition to that, he considered the geneticist his mother for the first few years. he eventually stopped when he got older.

learnt biology and anatomy in latin before learning it in english. he hated having to learn the names of everything in english after years of knowing them in latin.

has very sensitive eyes from living underground for so long and from the doctors' experiments. prefers going out at night and still wears sunglasses because the city lights give him headaches.

he doesn't have a notion of gender, or of anything related to it. still, he is very much trans, and has been using he/him pronouns for himself since he was a kid. he also switched between calling tara his sister and his brother.

the doctors made him a werecoyote before making him a werewolf, and he's more similar to a coyote in behaviour because of that. on the other hand, he's physically closer to a wolf.

theo isn't the first name he's had. he's been through at least ten other names, didn't really care about them because he wouldn't keep them for too long anyway. theo is the only name he ever had a chance to hold on to.

he's had symptoms similar to mercury poisoning for years because of the modified mercury, but he's been riding on adrenaline for so long that post-canon his health crashes for weeks.

he has a mild form of chromesthesia and from time to time will stare off into space while listening to people talk because he's paying attention to the colour of their voices.

got the name theo from a book when he was 16, when a test subject he was friendly with lended it to him. that book is still under the seat of his truck, along with a shard of bone he kept after their death.

I can't stand when People say things like "you don't know what real pain is, wait until you get to be my age" (- an older person). I would rather not imagine me (I already feel like I'm dying when I wake up everyday) older and worse. I'm taking 15 different meds and i smoke weed to try to function as a living being and even then I wake up and go through my days trying to deal with it but end up dissociating. I feel like I'm going to faint while doing mundane things or even just sitting down

rly glad they moved me out of the warehouse at work actually bc I do not have the strength to do shit at the moment. if I had to stand up for 8hrs right now I would frankly not make it. luckily I get to just sit here and hand ppl their shein packages or their six daily amazon packages and silently contemplate how their careless consumerism and all the destructive supply chains and exploitation that made those landfillcore products are indicative of so many problems driving the planet past the point of habitability

Yk what’s really fucked up? I was more masculine before I realized I was trans. I’m short and I’m skinny and I’m gay and that makes me a fuckin twink according to everyone else. And yeah sure sometimes I love a cute skirt and makeup and yeah sure maybe I am but that also means I fucking had to bury the girl who did archery and wanted to be on American ninja warrior and was always called on for being strong. Boyfriends say it’s awkward when I’m curled around them with him as the little spoon. “It feels weird for you to be the big spoon” “woah this is weird let’s switch” you do realize just because I’m short and don’t work out anymore this doesn’t mean I’m just this little cute bottom who is the twinkiest of twinks. I just wish I were taller so that maybe for once in my fucking life I could be taken seriously

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi! I'm so happy to have all of you here. On this blog, I will document my experiences, troubles, treatments, interventions, and life with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Secondary to my EDS I have gastroparesis, dysautonomia, ASD, hip dysplasia, OSA, Iron Deficiency Anemia, POTS/OH, and more. I display my life with these disorders in order to raise awareness for EDS in the public eye AND in the medical feild!

[cupidthewriter]

living on the edge but the edge is the uncertain space between being lightheaded from standing up too fast and “oh shit i’m actually passing out-“

[aria0fgold]

I was wondering bout what my mom said days ago when I still kept having hairfall and how it's strange that the multivitanim I take that has iron in it doesn't seem to help so I was like: Is that related???

Anyway minutes later and I found out that there's Many Concerning things bout the stuff I've been feeling lately that matches having low iron and honestly, I'm too sleepy to bother I'm going to sleep o<-<

[blondedingdong]

Aight, blood samples taken. 👍 Tomorrow I'll get the results and also talk to the doctor. I hope it's really just the depression messing with me and making me THIS tired.

[quixoticanarchy]

sleep is like. one of the several essential nutrients i'm very deficient in and it's a shame i can't just take a little supplement to make up for it, on the other hand i'm not great about taking like my iron supplements anyway. and also if sleep could be reduced to pill form you just know it would be heralded as a way to extract ever more ""productivity"" out of all of us
