Sharing some of my experience living with a rare disease. (And you get to see my adorable face.)

Today I learned about achenbach syndrome! Ive always had this weird thing with my hands where I get this like spiky pain and it hurts to touch the skin and later on it's bruised (on the inside of my fingers). So when it happened today I decided to have a Google and voila! It's nothing exciting, I just find it so interesting when I find something that's like, oh yeah it's definitely that haha. Medical stuff is my specialist interest and I think always will be haha.

If you made a mistake (or two or five or hundreds) in your medical care, you are still a good person. You still deserve care, you still deserve to feel better 💙

Herz got to have her new comfy bed to lay on at my endocrinologist appointment today!

I think the appointment went really well. We discussed the vertigo issues that have been re-emerging along with the joint pain. She wants me to slow down on my taper, so I'm going to stay at this dose for a couple of months. I need to keep my patience hat on and not rush into anything. I'm so used to pushing through feeling bad that I am rushing taper, thus not giving my body the time it needs to adjust.

We're doing a LOT of bloodwork: full thyroid panel, adrenals, testosterone (no point in doing estrogen since my menstrual cycle is regular for the first time in my life), vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and DHEA

I LOVE not producing hormones *sarcasm*

Having a doctor who actually listens to me and is willing to work with me is such a game changer.

I think the worst combination of chronic illnesses has got to be, hands down, condition that makes you violently ill at least once a week (various), and condition that makes throwing up potentially super dangerous (adrenal insufficiency) like jeez let fucking puke in peace 😭 wtf

Laying in bed with no energy is really fucking boring, y’all.

When I meet someone with my condition who is stable and lives a mostly normal life...

So you will see a bit more of Lance as he is my sickly close-to self insert OC and ableist things said made me ferally draw like 4 illustrations of him + Emily last month and there's really no better time to post them than now I guess.)
