#blood pressure mention

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all! Weird question time again, because I think I might've asked these questions before but can't remember what y'all said, and it occurred to me I could make it a poll. I know it sometimes means a different medication, but for the purposes of this poll Benadryl means diphenhydramine. Also, this is not medical advice in any way shape or form and please don't take it as such, I just suspect a lot of my health issues might be just allergies masquerading as something else By "helps with your migraines" I mean stops them, not just helping with the nausea

So it’s been a while. And I feel obligated to explain my lengthy absence from… everywhere. My email is so full I’m low key terrified.

On New Year’s Eve, I found out the hard way I have asthma. I thought I was tackling a stubborn cold with a particularly nasty cough, but it culminated in a trip to the ER after I all but stopped breathing and felt hypoxic. My oxygen saturation had dropped into the 60s and I was put on oxygen. Went through the whole barrage of tests, chest x rays and blood draws. And the culprit? RSV and the asthma I had thought was imaginary. Despite my own body’s efforts to cancel my subscription to the bullshit year we are now living in, I was discharged after 6 hours just an hour before midnight. To put it simply, I felt like total shit but no longer in danger.

RSV knocked me and J absolutely flat for 2+ weeks. I still am dealing with fatigue and respiratory/cardio hiccups as I try to get back to how life was before. And before I could get to that point, life threw another wrench.

Raclette, my darling pup I had adopted back in October, who I was assured had been spayed (having come from the shelter where it is required) had gone into heat. Which leads me to believe that her first owners had (for whatever crazy reason) lied to the shelter about spaying her, and there were no records of her from before her time at the shelter. To say I was disappointed and alarmed is an understatement, and my suspicions were confirmed by our vet. Poor girl has been in a diaper for a week and a half and her spay is 3 weeks away. We are both miserable and I’ve had my hands full taking care of her. She’s restless at night so I’m not sleeping well, but I would never hold it against her.

So yeah! Art took a severe back seat, and I will need to reevaluate my relationship with art once the commission queue has been emptied. It’s gonna be an extremely rough year and I’m looking to find things that bring me more joy while taking better care of myself (and the dog). It’s a tall order but it needs doing!

Stay safe out there, y’all.

Had a big ol blood test the other day and Puzzle came along too! He waited in the car but he was very helpful after :3

With the announcement of two new original stories by Rachel herself, I’ve been oscillating between “let her try cooking again” and “we’ve already seen what she did to the Greek pantheon she should be relegated to lunchables”

pasqal setting off an industrial explosion 3ft away from himself, somehow surviving, immediately ready to pick a fight with you including saying in THE most dramatic line 'flee for i am death' said as sole survivor while he's standing in a blaze of a machine he never even touched, meets a rogue trader and where everyone else so far has kinda lost it he basically just opens a backdoor to the imperium government records to look you up and says hm checks out, having a tiny tiny breakdown when you tell him he made the machine explode and then he cant remember how he did it, saying skill issue at the people who died escorting him, then immediately setting up two turrets to Melt people and almost win the fight singlehandedly. [said with utter delight] there is something wrong with him

I... think you may be right... I can't close my eyes without seeing an ocean of blood, and I think it's all mine...

Has leaving ever been an option..?

see, most people will say that they want complex and interesting moral questions with only wrong answers, far-reaching implications, and difficult consequences that create interesting stories, but when they're actually presented with one, all many of them have to say about it is "saving Minrathous doesn't feel rewarding", or "I don't care about Tevinter", or "Teviso is the obvious right choice".

y'know, as if they're allergic to roleplaying in a roleplaying game, or plug their ears and shut their eyes every time Neve speaks, or something.

oh my god i have a WIP on a wednesday

ALERT THE MEDIA

thanks @fangbangerghoul for the tag 💙 I loved reading about erik & ghoul (even if it did hurt my heart)! and i'm sorry i don't have any dd2 fic to offer.

tagging ummmm @bearlytolerant @baejax-the-great @agentnatesewell @serenpedac @coldshrugs hey i like yalls stuff, whatcha working on??*

A very tiny peek at some utterly silly Mayo:

---

“Is that the red one?”

“That is hibiscus tea.”

Mason huffs and tucks his hands further into his arms as his frown deepens.

“What, did you think it was blood?”

“No.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t get you an O-negative chaser. Don’t think Haley would understand.”

Theo weaves her hand through the wall of beverages and lays it on his tightly corded forearm, aware as always of the way his whole being shifts, the sharp furrow between his brows and tension in his jaw gentling and the muscles under her palm relaxing. Her “magic touch,” she calls it, her sole useful superpower.

Crafting update/life update: - managed to bake something! (spiced blondies! I did not take a picture before they were all eaten but they were really good) - Winter Soldier Bear is halfway done! - I've been doing, uh, not great. physically. I'm mostly okay now but it turns out being super stressed while recovering from corticosteroid withdrawal* (from my asthma flare up) combines super poorly with a new anxiety trigger*** and the end result is that I came extremely close to passing out last week****. I did not! But my crafting time and energy have been extremely limited lately because of health issues, and I don't know when that will change.

*I had to go on a short course of steroids** because I had a bad asthma flare up (because a plumbing issue in my house led to mold in the wall. Plumbing is fixed, wall is replaced, I'm all good asthma-wise now) **short courses of steroids, according to Every Doctor I've Ever Talked To, shouldn't cause withdrawal symptoms. Like, should not be possible. I get withdrawal symptoms every single time because of whatever the is wrong with my endocrine system ***got my first "go hide NOW" tornado warning and I gotta say I do not like it. Every thunderstorm makes me panic a bit now. Not great. ****it was not my normal POTS low blood pressure dizziness, it was a narrow pulse pressure issue. Which, again, doctors have told me shouldn't be happening, which is real useful to hear. (narrow pulse pressure is when the top number and the bottom number of your blood pressure are too close together, and it's Bad)

sigh… the thoughts win, the anons have won too…

here you little shits you wanna enable me? get fucking ice water dumped on you as a reminder of how fucked up I rlly am /aff /nr /nm

Cw for cannibalism, cannibalistic fantasies, dub-con, pressure point usage (idc that he’s a skeleton I’ll HC whatever the fuck I want <3), temporary paralysis, technically torture?, Sadism, Consent withdrawn, etc

nothing sexual going on tho so yeah 👍

ALSO THIS IS NOT BE CONDONING THIS IN ANY WAY. these are just really fucked up shit that goes through my head most likely due to me being a sociopath and mentally unwell person so yeah.

lemme know if there’s any other warnings it needs.

There’s been too many thoughts and fantasies in my mind recently of doing absolutely horrid shit to Ink, more specifically cannibalistic thoughts bc I’ve had those since I was a kid-

but just rlly clear visualization of Ink beneath me, it’s sweet at first gentle bites to his neck, just basic cuddling, etc.. But then it shifts to an unfortunately all to family feeling of craving just to fucking HURT something, and he’s right. There.

His sweet scent and taste right there and so easy to just.. destroy. While he’s completely relaxed and unaware.

And when those urges hit me I can’t even fucking stop and it gets so bad to where I bite myself at times, but why would I need to do that when his pretty bones are right there on display?

I could just slither my hands up and down and hit juust the right pressure points to make him lock up with a whine of confusion due to the temporary paralysis settling in and, leaving him vulnerable.

All the while I get to bite down to my sadistic hearts content and listen to the sweet sound of his clavicle beginning to crunch under the harsh treatment.

The addictive marrow and inky ‘blood’ seeping into my jaws as I just keep biting, and biting, and biting.

The sounds of his whines as he pleads softly to stop, that it hurts, however all falling to an audience of deaf ears.

My teeth are use to crunching bones, every time I eat something with bones inside, I eat it, no matter how thick the bone is I still manage to consume it and reduce it to nothing.

So his, are nothing but light work.

Breaking off his clavicle and taking a bit to crunch and chew before swallowing down the sweetly addictive substance of his magic. The gasp of pain and tremble through his bone as I move to the next spot.

Tracing his pretty patterns on his bones that almost look like porcelain with how beautiful he is, but oh how much more beautiful would he look if I just decided to rip that all up~

His ecto shimmering underneath that’s so desperately trying to dispel as I press my claws rough against the faux flesh, like he’s a present, that was about to get the wrapping torn off.

Cooing false comforts as I keep digging my nails into the flesh, the blood welling between my fingers and I can’t help but imagine how stunning his false organs would look if I tore them out and engorged in his liver..

Eventually moving away back to biting and eating away at his bones; things like his ulna parts of his spine, neck, etc.

All so deliciously irresistible.

Perfect for consumption.

My cardiologist just sent me a message on MyChart that he wants me to send him a blood pressure log???

So am I supposed to go out and buy a fucking sphygmomanometer or

[boxheadpaint]

[experiences symptom] huh maybe this is abnormal. lets look it up [its pots again]

[causalityparadoxes]

Guess who maybe got mild hypothermia and proceeded to

-> Get into a hot bath

-> Almost (actually possible did) fall asleep

Luckily it was either very mild or something else like idk shock or general cold exposure or some kind of cold induced syncope. But bawhahahHA those are the 2 things you are not meant to do there. Some bad decisions were made.

[arytha]

whoo they took a chest xray. and apparently whatever is going on with my throat is fine
