Injecting my tummy with stelara every month was a bitch and a half and now I have to inject my tummy with b12 every day for the foreseeable future because my intestines are so decrepit I can't absorb anything from b12 pills

[ineffectualdemon]

Always read the leaflet that comes with a new prescription

In fact: always read it more than once

I got prescribed HRT because I'm on menopause inducing injections and am going to have a hysterectomy sometime in the near future and the hot flashes have been kinda hard to deal with

It's important to know that the prescribing doctor knew my medical history. We discussed it

Anyway I read the leaflet and note it says to talk to your doctor or a pharmacist if you have fibroids as the medicine can make those worse or come back

...my issue is fibroids so that was red flag number 1

Then I noticed it said to talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are on blood thinners ...which I am

Red Flag number 2

I spoke to the pharmacist and he said it should be fine as they were rare complications but if I had issues to stop taking it and consult the prescriber

So I was going to take it but something told me to read the leaflet again

What I had missed under the "DO NOT TAKE IF:" section was the bit that said "do not take if you have EVER had a blood clot. Such as deep vein thrombosis or a pulmonary embolism

Chat: I nearly died of a pulmonary embolism in 2018. That's why I'm on blood thinners

Which the doctor knew since we discussed it

I called the gynecologist office (which was a separate pain in the ass) and said "uh, I don't think I can take these for this reason" and was told I'd get a call back (I have not) but to NOT take them in the meantime

So yes a doctor who was fully aware of my medical history prescribed me medication that was extremely dangerous for me to take

TL:DR

READ THE LEAFLET THAT COMES WITH YOUR MEDICATIONS AND BE CAUTIOUS BECAUSE DOCTORS CAN BE STUPID AND NEGLIGENT WHICH CAN KILL YOU

╰┈➤ ❝ [ I Have To Breath, But Every Inhale Feels More Like a Punishment From The Gods ] ¡! ❞

White walls were all you have ever known for all your life.

Christmas? Inside White Walls.

Your Birthdays? Inside White Walls.

Your first kiss? Inside White Walls.

You hated the sight of it all, you hated it so much that the smell of this room was starting to have an aroma of death.

And yet, Jinwoo never complained.

He visits everyday without a fail, always on time, maybe a little late here and there because he was a hunter– But he is always there, sliding open the hospital door with a beaming smile and lips ready to give you a caress.

Jinwoo always had food with him, even when he comes into the hospital room with a battered look.

Clothes stained with grime and dirt, a shoe with a hole, a face disheveled with some dried blood he failed to wash up earlier from rushing— And hair so messy you swear there must be a nest inside those soft and delicate jet black strands of his.

You would scold him with anger and yet he just laughs it off, muttering "I'm sorry" over and over while he gently takes your hand, rubbing his thumb over the soft and thin hand of yours.

But you knew he wasn't listening to you, and for that, you could only sigh.

Jinwoo always appeared calm and happy.

...Because if he shows you the turmoils and anxiety he has hidden in him, what would happen to you?

You're already dying.

Your skin is paler than last week, your body is growing thinner everyday, your voice is growing quieter and more ragged, your breathing is slower and heavy, the tubes strewn around you were increasing in number as if it's turning into a complete amalgamation of horror—

Jinwoo is losing you.

He knew that so well, the doctor had already told him weeks ago that you don't have much time.

So he desperately tries his outmost best to spend as much time with you, even if he comes in bloody from his raids— He needs to see you everyday.

Even when he went through the double dungeon, he went straight to your side the moment he came in, and to ligthen your mood he would joke around and say you two can now be bed buddies since you're both sick.

Jinwoo will strive to make you smile, even if it hurts him inside he supresses that anguish deep down inside because he knows you must be in much more pain.

He will never know what it's like to always receive these different medications that are so disgustingly unpleasant to the mouth, he will never know how much the constant injections would hurt, he will never know how tiresome it is to constantly be monitored, he will never know how much sadness you go through when he isnt there.

Jinwoo needs to be happy in front of you.

He just got back from the system's first dungeon, he was going to tell you all about how he did because he knew you love listening about his raids even though they are scary.

But as he approaches the familiar number of you hospital room— Nurses and doctors were running in and out in rapid succession.

He could hear the doctor barking out orders, counting down and screaming Clear.

1....

2....

3....

"We're sorry Mr Sung." The same doctor comes out, the heartbreak in his eye evident as the hunter flung himself inside the room.

There was a ringing inside Jinwoo's ear, it was so high pitched and painful.

But really, it wasn't a ring.

It was Jinwoo screaming at the top of his lungs.

A scream so full of pain and anguish that everyone who hears his scream felt shudders— But even that, even that could never compare to what Jinwoo feels right now.

His heart felt like it was about to explode, his organs felt like they were twisting and contorting inside his body, his muscles felt so stiff that he swears he must have been made out of stone, the lock in his throat wouldn't go away no matter how much he cried out.

Tears would stream down his face.

And the medical staff could do nothing more than to close the door to let Jinwoo have his last moments.

Jinwoo would kiss his beloved's hand that was so cold, he would beg and beg for them to wake up— To call out his name, to scold him, to smack his head because he is such a reckless idiot.

He implores, "Open your eyes... Open them, I'm right here. Woowoo is here... Please, please come back."

But no answer would reach his ears, not even the faintest of breaths would reach his ears.

He tried to listen to your heartbeat, but there was nothing there for him to listen to.

Hours, he spent hours inside that room until he finally came out to call a medical staff.

Jinwoo's voice was horse, almost like he even lost it.

His eyes were puffy and his expression drained of color

Everyone though his expression couldn't worsen any further.

But in your funeral, he was empty, complete empty.

Mindless as he watches your coffin lower, numb as the dirt piling up on the elegant Mahogany wood.

He stood there, unmoving as the last dirt was thrown and fixed.

Jinwoo stayed there even in the rain.

Just staring.

It was as if he's waiting for a hand to emerge from the dirt like those stupid movies he used to watch with you.

But no.

No hand would ever emerge.

The sweet sound of your voice calling out his name, he could never hear it again directly.

Since them, Jinwoo would abuse his body through the system.

Ceaselessly leveling up in godspeed, pushing himself past his limits as a form of punishment.

It was his way of showing how much he hated himself.

He always though of that day, had he come in a little earlier, had he beaten that godforsaken snake a little more earlier— Then perhaps he could have heard your voice one last time, perhaps he could have said goodbye more properly.

Over and over and over and over and over.

He would rise, he would level up, the sound of the system dings becoming sickeningly disgusting the more time passed by.

And soon, he was titled as the world's strongest hunter.

... He was also the most lifeless of them all.

Grey eyes always empty, it was as if he was merely a shell of a person.

Jinwoo never really reacts to anything other than his familr, the few times he has shown emotion— Was when he was furious.

And everytime that happens, the world would tremble in absolute horror.

Other than that? He just did his job.

People would call him all sorts of things, insult him but not once has he ever batted an eye at them.

When he isn't in the gates, taking care of Ahjin guild, or leveling up— He would often go by your grave.

He'd buy all sorts of flowers, from your favourites to whatever he thinks looks absolutely pretty and you would certainly have loved.

Jinwoo would lean behind the stone wall, his head tilted back as he tells you about his day. How it's been, how silly Jin-ah has been, how ridiculous Jinho was last night whole drunk, and what he's been up to.

He'd talk on and on, even if he knew there wouldn't be a reply.

But somehow, the breeze blowing felt like it was the stand-in for your voice, the scent of leaves seemed to carry your scent— Everything around him was reminding him of you.

Or maybe it was just his senses is making him delusional because desperately needed you by him.

After all, he was slowly going more and more mad.

It's been so hard, yesterday, he was a struggling hunter who has lost the love of his life.

Today, he is the world's champion.

He was to be the war hero thrown to save the world.

"I don't know if I can do it" Jinwoo weakly mumbles as he continues to lean on your grave as if it were your arms comforting him. "I've killed a few monarchs, Antares only remains yet somehow... I still feel anxious. I could really... Really use some of your words, love. But I know that's impossible."

It wasn't really.

He could technically reanimate your being, but he never did. as much as it kills him, he wanted you to rest, he never wanted to use his wicked power just to see you.

Not having you by his side is his punishment for not coming any sooner to stay by your side that dreadful day.

"Well... If I don't make it, it's fine." Jinwoo mumbles, looking up at the starless night sky. "I'll see you again soon, wherever it may be, no matter how many lifetimes it take, no matter how far I go, I'll come back and see you again. So wait just a little longer, my love. Woowoo is coming home"

I broke my ankle on Friday on my way to Prague and can't stand on my right foot for the past 2 weeks. That makes doing anything extremely difficult and I'm basically bedridden. I also have get injections of blood thinners every day to prevent blood clots and the injections are super painful.

I wish I could use this time to like... learn languages. But so far I've just been so tired and in pain and generally uncomfortable and without any motivation.

SOLDIER Mako Infusion/Enhancement Headcanon(s)

In my ideas, mako infusions are given as intravenous (IV) injections and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) injections, Sub-Q because while IV disperses throughout the whole body rapidly, Sub-Q will be injected into the fat under the skin, and that takes much longer to ‘invade’ the system.

This is important because mako is a foreign substance. The body actively attempts to metabolize it and get rid of it. For this reason, IV and Sub-Q enhancements are used in conjunction to space out infusion sessions and keep higher levels of mako in SOLDIER systems for longer.

Mako when injected gives a burning, stinging sensation because it’s incredibly toxic. Since mako cuts SOLDIER lifespans drastically, it’s safe to surmise that mako irritates the tissue it comes in contact with (and yes, blood is a tissue).

SOLDIERs aren’t allowed to take certain drugs prior to infusions, such as blood-thinners because they can cause excess bleeding.

Mako, because of its toxic nature, doesn’t have the most pleasant effects at first. They go away as a tolerance is built up, but to start off, especially when SOLDIERs first begin recieving the infusions/ehancements, such as unthriftiness, weakness, muscle stiffness, inflammation, headaches, dizziness, lack of coordination, etc.

The symptoms go away as SOLDIERs build tolerance, and over time, the body begins to become overwhelmed and it stops recognizing mako as a ‘threat’ or pathogen and just begins to allow mako to coexist in the body, even if that’s not great as mako often acts as a competitive substance in the body and can cause other health issues, especially issues due to mako taking the place of other molecules that are supposed to be in the body.

It varies based on individual, but I imagine mako infusions occur more frequently at the start to overload the body on purpose (forced coexisting), so probably at the start every 4-6 weeks, then probably every 8-12 weeks.

Old habits die hard Pt.1

A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept - including your lover and partner, Simon 'Ghost' Riley. Your past as Enigma is naught but an unwelcome memory. Broken pieces you never bothered fixing, turned your back on the life of a special forces agent long ago. Your life now is comfortable and easy, and your partner need not know of the blood coating your hands. That is, until a dear friend and former comrade of yours calls you one night; his cry for help soon putting your relationship and everything you've known at risk.

Tags: Angst, fluff, established relationship, Ghost x you, gn!reader

Warnings: None for this part

Needles pricked your skin. Injected poison into your veins that numbed and sensitised your heart all the same - or maybe it'd always been there, wedged between feelings and words of reassurance that you daren't think about too long, lest they lose their worth.

There's no running from it. Not anymore.

Neither of you had been as honest with each other as partners should be. Years of lies and secrecy finally caught up, and you could either pick up the pieces to try and fix it or walk away from it for good.

Another rise of the sun, another mundane day.

Lunch bubbled on the stove and the radio played your favourite tune. The kitchen shone after you'd polished every inch of it, allowing the incoming sunlight to bounce off its countertops. Spring came early this year and you were bound to make the most of it: Enjoying the blooming flowers, shopping at the bustling markets and perhaps even discover some new hobbies to pass the time with. It's serene. Simple. Peaceful. A small but comfortable home, an active social circle and a boyfriend who you cared for; even if his 'thank you's sounded stiff, they were sincere. Besides, getting some kind of affection out of him was a luxury reserved for you and you only.

There was a framed picture by the entrance. It'd taken you ages to convince him to take one, but it meant the world to you. And who was he to deny his sweetheart such a thing? Even though the look on his face reminded you of Grumpy Cat, it was endearing and comforting. Almost as if he were home with you. You'd long stopped trying to count days; it'd do nothing but drive you insane. The memory of his arms pulling you close, hardened gaze softening when you called out his name kept you warm at night. And he revelled in it: Coming home, being missed.

You flinch at the shrill sound that was your phone. Once again gotten lost in dreamy thoughts, haven't we?

Unknown caller.

Simon had told you not to pick up anonymous calls. They were either scam calls or telemarketers who'd remember you picking up, calling again and again with ever new numbers. You turn off the sound and ignore the call. Lunch demanded more attention anyways, and there was no way you'd let it burn just to entertain some scummy wannabe Windows 'employee'.

Your eyelids remind of cement as you try to blink, once, twice. A groggy groan escapes you at the irratically obtrusive light that was your phone screen. It happened to shine right into your face - your fault for staying up too late and falling asleep over some niche YouTube video. Simon would've scolded you. As he always did whenever he thought you weren't taking good enough care of yourself.

It's enough when one of us is in bad shape. Take care of yourself for me.

Vibrations rattle the little nightstand your phone rests on. You turn over in bed, too lazy to check who could possibly have the audacity to call at this hour. It certainly wasn't him. One thing you could be sure of: He never called during deployments.

The call continued. Your phone vibrated. Its screen lit up the room. You huffed in annoyance, too stubborn to turn around and answer - but your phone kept on making noise and your resolve ran thinner and thinner, until you eventually had to admit defeat.

"What?" Your tone wasn't exactly friendly, but neither was the late interruption.

A breathless voice resounded from the other end. No doubt exhausted and... Fearful? You heard broken whispers. Someone was talking, but they were trying to prevent you from listening in. You grumbled under your breath, thumb moving to press the alluring big red button on the middle of your screen.

"Enigma?"

You remember that time you went on a stroll with Simon. There was a shop - an antique shop, and you'd dragged him inside if only to satiate your curiosity. The owner had a bird on display. A wild one he'd caught himself, thought it too pretty to let go.

Much like that bird flapping in its cage, your heart beat against your ribs. Panicked and desperate. Its thumping echoed in your ears.

"Enigma, you there?", he whispered. It didn't do much to hide the urgency in his tone. "I didn't wanna do this, I swear. I know you left for good. Fuck, you had every right to-"

He inhaled sharply, voice stuttering.

"But I need you. I... I tried doing this alone. I really did. But this- this is too big for me. I fucked up. I fucked up big time. If you hear this-"

Boots shuffled. Muffled voices barked commands. His breath hitched, and you swore you heard him whimper.

"Please help me."

Click.

Call ended.

~~~

Two days. Three maybe. Four at most.

Days you spent doing... Stuff. Cooking and cleaning, probably. Getting dressed, taking a shower in the evenings, or mornings, you couldn't quite remember. Time melted into one long stream and it dragged you under. The current was strong. You let it. Watched as if you were standing behind thick, foggy glass. Muscle memory and the instinctive need to live kept you up and running, kept your heart beating and lungs breathing even when your mind was on the brink of turning into a mess.

That call. That damn, late night call.

There'd been nothing but that call in the past few days. His voice echoed in your brain, again and again and again. You'd turn on the radio and forget about it just as quick, the music was nothing but dull background noise slowly drifting further away until there was none at all; like a broken record player did his last words repeat in your head:

"Please help me."

What followed after was silence. The suffocating kind. The kind that had you press unto that number no matter how often you heard the robotic voice telling you that this number was out of service.

"Please help me."

Silver... No, Rafael.

How long had it been?

His name came to you as easy as the memories you thought to have safely locked away.

Memories of mud and blood, of black caskets and stoic faces holding inspirational speeches about honour and sacrifice, too proud to grieve. Memories of sweat and steel, of sharing meals and punishments while laughing and motivating one another to keep going.

Oh, you remember well.

His uniform had looked sloppy. Rafael used to oversleep and forget to pull up the zipper on his pants, or to button up his shirt. The sargeant called out his name in the morning as if it were routine; your face muscles nearly hurt from trying to hide the laughter. Rafael never truly learnt, no matter how much he was scolded; He'd make excuses and bicker with those who didn't believe him. Sometimes you'd wonder how they even let him enlist at all.

But when it came down to it, Rafael was always at your side. He'd worry for you, always knowing when something was up, and took the blame for your mistakes more than once. He was so proud of you when you passed the special forces qualification exams - ushered everyone into a pub that night and overslept the morning after.

We make a great team, don't we?

The lighter kissed twice as he lit his cigarette. He knew he shouldn't, that it's forbidden when holding watch at night. He'd been unusually quiet back then - Rafael looked to the stars as if he were expecting them to tell him something, but you hesitated to ask. He wasn't someone who dwelled on things. Wether it'd be mockery by comrades, scolds by superiors or insults by his own family even, Rafael took it all in stride, for he had that strength you so admired about him.

When he did speak, his voice barely carried above a whisper. "My 'pa died." Another long drag of the cigarette.

"I...", you blinked at him, unsure what to say. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be." He closed his eyes for but a moment. "Fucker used to beat my mom every night until she left one day, high and dry. Couldn't bear the loss and turned to alcohol, became even more of a monster. Made sure I never had any friends either."

You swallowed hard. This may have just been the first time Rafael let you see a part of himself that wasn't the easygoing and boisterous guy who always laughed. "You must've been so lonely."

He flicked the stump on the ground and got up to stretch, began walking back towards base. You checked your watch: Shift change.

"I was. But you helped me out of that slump. You helped me more times than I can count."

"Likewise."

When Rafael finally looked back at you, he wore a smile much different from the ones you'd known of him.

Well, it doesn't matter now, does it? We're family. And family doesn't keep count.

~~~

Arid air carried the scent of baked earth. Dry winds blew sand to your goggles, heat seeping through layers of clothes and into your skin. Al Mazrah greeted you with heavy silence. Its houses lay in ruin, debris covering the perforated streets on which beggars cowered in groups; the wind drowned their heartbreaking cries. A once so prosperous oasis transformed into an ashen warzone where no law, no jurisdiction reached, except the locals own interpretation of it.

You checked the numbers on your map. Coordinates. Rafael's coordinates - and they led you here, right into the lion's den.

Hello! I need to bleed a character out, preferably slowly (over about an hour or so). Is there a way to do that?

Give a really high dose of a blood thinner called heparin (injected into fat) and wait an hour or so, then cut a vein and hold it open with a 14G IV catheter.

[wondrous-art]

Because I’ve been drawing and discussing Miinu character more often recently, I’m making a post to go into depth about Miinu Anatomy

Meet Thyler

Thyler is a thrip insect Miinu and will be the subject of today’s lesson. First we’re going to start with the outer shell of a miinu. 

Antennae - Nearly every miinu has sensitive antennae that emerge from the top of their scalp. These can be any size depending on the Bug Kin (the type of insect the Miinu is genetically related to). They can also often blend in with and be part of the hair style of the miinu. The antennae are sensitive organs filled with nerves that can pick up on subtle pheromones and scents around them, and are significantly stronger than their actual nose.

2. Hair - Miinu are capable of growing hair on their bodies like humans do, as well as facial and body hair. Some species may experience more body hair growth than others, such as hairier species like moths, who tend to have fur-like hair growth on their chests and arms.

3. Eyes - Miinu have specialized eyes that resemble compound eyes, but do not function like compound eyes. Instead the eyes are similar to humans, but larger and protected under a translucent shell that can protect the eyes from dirt, parasites, and UV rays. This shell is sturdy and can even be touched without causing pain. Genes can also determine what color the shell is.

4. Ears - Miinu faces are distinct from humans by their pointed, cone-shaped ears. It’s this unique trait that caused people to mistake them for fairies or elves.

5. Mandibles - Most miinu have mandibles that are connected to their jaw. They aid in the ripping and tearing of tougher food as well as in some cases, injecting venom into prey. The mandibles' distinct click and chittering has become an important phoneme sound for their language.

6. Primary arms - Miinu have multiple arms, but the Primary arms remain the strongest, largest, and permanent limbs.

7. Hands - Miinu’s human-like hands tend to have 3 clawed fingers and a thumb.

8. Secondary Arms - These are the second set of arms that Miinu possess to total 6 limbs. These arms are thinner than the primary arms and are capable of collapsing back inside of the body. Some Miinu, such as those of Spiders, can have a similar pair of tertiary arms as well, totalling 8 limbs.

9. Joint Segments - Miinu shells are made of a thick, leather-like skin. It’s tougher and stronger than human skin, and in order to maintain flexibility, is segmented into distinct folds around joints. This also optimizes healing, as the skin repairs itself by shedding layers of damaged skin, made easier when it only has to shed small segments of the body.

10. Wings - Flighted Miinu will often have a set of wings that allow flight. These wings are thin, often translucent and full of visible blood vessels. Most Miinu will not develop wings until they are adults. They are also delicate, and if they are torn or severely damaged, they will likely not heal, and won’t grow back.

11. Feet - Miinu bipedal legs with plantigrade feet. These feet have human-like heels and soles, but only two long, clawed toes.

12. Abdomen - The back end of the Miinu. It often resembles the Abdomen segment of their bug kin, but contrary to appearances, this is not just a tail, but an extension of the torso with vital organs inside.

Now we have the skeleton. Yes, Miinu have a skeleton. Unlike their insect counterparts, they are not true arthropods and possess internal skeletons.

13. Skull - Miinu have a thick human-like skull. Notably larger eye sockets to fit their large eyes. They also have a significantly larger head to body ratio.

14. Antennae socket - The antennae connects directly to the brain, so the skull has small openings for this.

15. Teeth - Miinu have sharp teeth and fangs for tearing through tough food.

16. Spine - A miinu’s spine connects all the way down into the abdomen segment. 

Now we get to open the lad up and see the inner workings.

17. Brain - Miinu have a complex, human-like brain capable of complex thought and emotion. It is a mystery how complex neurons can function at this size.

18. Facial Venom Glands - For individuals who inject venom through bites, venom glands are nested next to where the saliva glands would go.

19. Mouth - Miinu have pale yellow tongues.

20. Heart / Blood - The heart pumps a mustard yellow colored blood throughout the body.Instead of most organs being a red or pinkish color, organs appear a yellow or golden color.

21. Lungs 

22. Gills - Some Miinu have the ability to breathe underwater using a set of gills near their ribs. Some Miinu only have them in their larval stage and then lose them in adulthood.

23. Arm Pockets - Pockets of empty tissue that the secondary arms can collapse into. When arms are collapsed, this is sealed off with a slab of skin.

24. Stomach - Miinu have a diverse diet that is not restricted by their bug kin. They are omnivorous and can eat just about anything that is edible. Some Miinue can even process grass and wood fiber, or raw meat.

25. Crop - A secondary stomach for storing and processing complex and fibrous food. This is also where bee Miinu create honey.

26. Spleen

27. Pancreas

28. Liver - A smaller liver means that it takes significantly less alcohol to get intoxicated.

29. Small Intestines - The small intestines are larger in proportion than a human’s, due to how intense a Miinu’s diet can be.

30. Colon - The large intestine travels through the abdomen and waste is removed from the body at an opening at the end.

31. Kidneys - The kidneys are lower on the body, located in the abdomen segment.

32. Bladder - The kidneys send waste product into the bladder and it is ejected from the body the same way as the colon.

33. Rear Venom Gland - For stinging Miinu, a large venom gland can be found in the abdomen that connects to the stinger.

34. Penis - The male reproductive organ which is kept safe inside a pocket of skin near the groin, and only comes out during copulation.

35. Gonads

36. Vagina - The female reproductive organ. Also usually kept hidden inside a fold of skin until copulation.

37. Ovary / Oviduct - Female Miinu produce eggs that are processed through this system when fertilized. An unfertilized egg may also be passed at the end of every breeding season. Fertilized eggs only stay in the body for a few days, as the rest of the development happens after the egg is laid.

38. Spermatheca - Some Miinu, such as Queen Bees, Ants, and Wasps, can store male sperm long term to use when producing workers.

39. Insects that drink and store blood, like mosquitos, will store it here. The gut can expand over 10 times its size and use the nutrients from the blood to create eggs.

40. Ovipositor - The organ used for laying eggs.

I love leeches the animal. i got blood sucked when i was a kid. ppl were freaking out but i was like, "it's cool, let it eat, you know... detach on it's own timeline," and you will not believe how good i felt the rest of the day. that leech injected the better form of aspirin into my blood (it's a fact that it does this. it injects a blood thinner and pain killer so the blood flows better into it's mouth you don't notice the bite.) we were hiking and my soreness was gone, my knees and feet felt better, my head cleared up from allergies, and i literally was in a great mood for the rest of the day.

society should LOVE leeches. we should cultivate them in every body of water. lil guy asks for a little nibble and in return makes your day better? that's a good-lil-poor-cutie-big eyes-wanna-help guy. how dare you not love him! he just wants a tiny amount of blood (you aren't even using anyway selfish meanie) and he'll even clean out all the gunck in your system for free! give him your blood you selfish pricks! i miss him.

A little tired from yesterday’s injection but otherwise feeling good. My first set of labs came back since starting Methotrexate. My white blood cells & absolute monocytes are too high which is weird. You would expect to see a lower white blood cell count and I don’t have any other symptoms that would indicate an infection. I also noticed when I had my blood drawn it was very free flowing compared to how it usually comes out. I know you aren’t supposed to take blood thinners with it but it was still a little surprising.

I’m waiting to hear back from my doctor about the labs but I’m feeling so much better on it part of me wonders if this is a good sign. Maybe some things are being done in my body that should have been done a long time ago. Wouldn’t that be nice for a change.

I think it’s too soon to have a definitive opinion, but I haven’t noticed any of the rebound chest or stomach pain that I’ve been getting after activity since Oct 2022. How frustrating is it to go to the Cardiologist and do all these tests that come back normal and it turns out to be autoimmune inflammation all along?

Last night my oxygen was better while I slept but in general it is not getting better. I’m still measuring drops during the day about the same frequency and severity. As soon as my mind clears a bit from this fatigue I’m going to make an appointment to followup with a Pulmonologist one more time to make sure there’s nothing wrong. Especially since there are some really serious (potentially deadly) lung side effects you can get from Methotrexate.

Dude I never thought about lipo for body dysmorphia stuff but your before and after pictures are amazing!!! Like I'm getting euphoria just looking at it lol if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost? Also how did the blood thinner injecting thing go? I'm so happy for you omg

not cheap lol. although tbf the surgeon I went with was on the more expensive side because he's in high demand, has his own in-house surgery center, does extensive follow-ups, etc. the other guy quoted me a price that was literally half as expensive, but that was the same guy who said he hated doing lipo and said it wouldn't work (in part I assume because he doesn't do the ultrasound skin-shrinky thing, which I assume costs extra). so if you go to someone who's good at lipo but isn't as ~boutique~ or whatever it'd probably be somewhere between the two. also worth noting that I have heard of people getting this stuff covered by insurance but I knew my chances were slim and my surgeon was cash-only regardless

the blood thinners were a bit of an ordeal tbh but only because I was actually pretty ambulatory (all things considered) and don't have high blood pressure to begin with so they made me sooooo woozy and gross-feeling lol. plus I had bronchitis from being intubated which didn't help. thankfully they let me stop taking them earlier than expected which was also a relief because my blood was so thin that the shots kept leaving huge hard bruises on my arms and noelle was running out of spots to inject... but she was a trooper about it!

Tw for blood and needles

Y'all everytime I get a vaccine or a blood test or something I bleed more than I think is normal???

Like, today I got a covid booster shot and in the time between when the pharmacist removed the needle from my arm, and placed the syringe on the table, blood had dripped through the bandaid and half way to my elbow???? Then neither of us could open the bag of cotton balls which was awkward.

She asked if I was on blood thinners, but I'm not. In fact I'm on testosterone which can make your blood thicker and increase the rate of blood clots.

One time I had a hemoglobin test (where they prick your finger) and the nurse went through 3 cotton balls before it stopped bleeding.

Like, I'm fine, it's not a big health risk or anything (at least to my knowledge), but it is weird to me. Also, I'm not super fond of blood so everytime I bleed after a testosterone injection I get lightheaded lmao.

Had to inject myself with blood thinner for a week once, absolutely godawful experience
