Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS): Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex and debilitating condition characterized by extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest and is not caused by any underlying medical condition. The exact cause of CFS/ME is still not fully understood, and there is no specific diagnostic test for the condition. Symptoms of…

So I found out today that the black spot in my vision is officially permanent and that if my medicine doesn't start working again at a higher dose, then I will need a stent/shunt placed in my head. Brain surgery scares me so much, but it's impossible to function every day if I don't somehow get my head pressure managed 😞 send me positive vibes and well wishes pls, it sounds like I might need it 🖤

Tbh it really is something to have grandmothers (one late 70s other late 80s) who are in better shape than you are, like I go see my grandma and we walk somewhere and i'll be panting before she's even slightly out of breath and it's not like she's in the best of conditions either, and then don't even get me started on my other grandma, she still does sports.

When the test results look terrible, but my symptoms are pretty ok...

hate have huge big heavy chest

hurt back neck ribs weight is so much bad bad

cannot even get top surgery yet because don't know how will impact health - if can even cope at all.

i am lucky that parents support transition and have money for pay things if necessary.

but still struggle with have disabilities/ chronic illness and not have ability to transition

even though surgery for get rid of breasts is will help really really really. because less pain less tired, not make posture worse from low muscle tone cannot support chest weight makes shoulders sag from weight and hurt everything more.

and cause so much sensory issue with skin and big thing in the way and clothes not fit right and clothes is already so hard for sensory - chest make even worse.

and mental health emotions feelings. all bad upset from it. dysphoria is most most from body for me

just express frustration feelings

I love that they are called dome wreckers.😆 500mg each then add the indica hybrid making tonight's dinner of stuffed clams and buttered pasta seasoned with rosemary from the garden, basil, onion flakes, salt and pepper, well it makes that a feast of kings and to artemesia's credit I feel so much better than last night. The cramping in my stomach was pretty bad came with a side order of projectile vomiting free of charge. 24hrs later I'm stuffed to the seams but not uncomfortably so. This is why I continue to tell my doctors there needs to be more study into medical cannabis related to stomach cancer, appetite and pain relief and calming of the stomach as well. I lost 80% of my stomach and was told I would never be able to gain weight on my own. today I'm twice as heavy and relaxing from a meal where I ate significantly more than everyone else. sure last night I was sick. but tonight all systems are operating at peak efficiency. I can directly draw a line from my use of edibles to my success at regaining weight and stretching out the remaining tissue to form a quasi-stomach, with which I now eat normally. The doctors agree with me. They have to stop short of recommending their patients utilize it, but trust me, anything you can do to improve your mood and condition they will appreciate. I gained weight when they told me I couldn't. They continue to be pleasantly surprised by my success. So I'm a big advocate of medical cannabis especially when it concerns stomach cancer and similar maladies. I can say I have added years to my life thanks to good old Mary Jane. All those years of self medicating with the only anxiety medication that ever worked finally paid off. it helped me to eat again when that seemed bleak and out of reach. it's helping me tonight. its helping artemesia with her restless legs and getting some semblance of sleep.

I'm thankful for the help it most certainly provides.

I totally support recreational legalization everywhere, all the time but I believe that it's criminal to not provide this medical option, so valuable in many different ways to someone like me whose life would have been shortened without it.

free the weed.

My best friend Nevra Liz is a 27 year old woman in Karachi, Pakistan who has been suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and related comorbidities such as dysautonomia since childhood. However, her health has taken a dramatic downturn in recent years with the onset of severe Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Before becoming dangerously ill she studied many languages, and later used her translation skills to help out disabled patients all over the world, and advocated for disability rights. She is no longer able to do any of these things. 

The first smaller goal for Nevra is £4,000 (equivalent to $4898.30, euros: €4661.12)

This includes laparoscopic surgery

at Aga Khan University hospital and a hospital stay, which costs about 670,000 PKR or £2,500.

Nevra needs relief for her excruciating pelvic pain as soon as possible. (Her pain is 9 to 10 on the pain scale every day.)

The remaining £1,500 will go towards hospital stay for additional days, food, medication, transportation, home care, at home nurse, caregiver, supplements, and medical device support items.

We have less than 4 weeks to reach our goal and we need the doctors to continue taking the pain seriously and not deciding against the laparoscopy because of a lack of funds and putting Nevra on random medications again.

tw it's a medical update. I talk about surgery

it's official! I need brain surgery.

for all the new faces I can't see, I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension. I have since I was 15, but it wasn't diagnosed and treated until I was 25. for a full decade, I had a migraine that did not let up and no one could figure out why. to be fair, what skinny, barely-scraping-100lbs 15 year old develops IIH? I was taking acetazolamide for it, but unfortunately my kidneys are now chicken fried and I currently have Acceptable™ kidney function.

I'm going to have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placed. I don't have a date yet, but I expect it to be sometime in the first few months of the new year. it will be risky, but better than permabanning my kidneys and taking one from my brother.

I am,,,,, exhausted. every time I feel like I'm finally on top of my health, something goes catastrophically wrong. thank god for friends willing to stick it out with me through the inconsistency <3

max verstappen x chronically ill! reader

in which max's girlfriend has a very valid reason for not attending the races but the public doesn't know. and when the hate gets too much she pushes herself too hard.

author's note: so i have written this completely from experience, so the reader has elhers danlos syndrome (which i also have) but if you suffer from a different chronic illness please do imagine it as that.

warnings: chronic illness. hate. hospitalisation. injury.

written: y/sister managed to get a picture of me as soon as i woke up to find out that max won the bahrain gp with a twenty second lead. i am such a proud girlfriend rn.

maxverstappen replied to your story: good you are awake i'll facetime you rn. i miss you and the cats.

user1 replied to your story: if you really were a good girlfriend you would have been there supporting him

maxfan: you are such a bad wag you didn't even stay up to watch the race.

you had woken up on a high. you had turned your phone on to see all the messages informing you of your boyfriend's impressive win and you had even managed to facetime max before he went to bed. it felt like a good day. but then you made the mistake of opening social media. people on twitter were doing what people on twitter do best, talk shit. your eyes scanned over the screen as for the millionth time people picked apart your relationship and called you every name under the sun. they saw you as a villain that just did not support her boyfriend and that could not be further from the truth.

if you could attend every race you would but that just was not plausible. you suffered from elhers danlos syndrome and on top of that you had chronic fatigue. the elhers danlos effected your joints making every day painful to some degree. yes there were good and bad days but there were never pain free days. both of your knees had been operated on and you were awaiting surgery on your ankle due to frequent dislocations. the simple description of elhers danlos is that you had fault collagen, this collagen is what makes your connective tissue so your connective tissue was faulty and therefore your joints had a habit of dislocating and causing you a hell of a lot of pain. it was a domino effect the constant pain that you were in made you incredibly tired and that is where the chronic fatigue came in. max often called you his sleepy girl because you needed at least one nap per day to function properly.

you knew the problems you were having with max's fans could be solved by you telling them what you suffered with medically but they did not deserve an explanation from you. you should be allowed to live your life how you want to without thousands of strangers telling you that you were doing it wrong or that you were a bad girlfriend. you wanted to keep your medical issues private and max completely understood and supported your decision to do so. so instead you had to deal with all the hate. you just had to remind yourself that these people did not know the real you and if they did they, hopefully, would not treat you like this.

written: y/n finally left the house for the first time in five days and it was just for a snack run.

maxverstappen replied: is she having a bad week, she only eats reese's when she is a lot of pain

y/sister: i didn't tell you this but she is not doing well at all, she slept all of yesterday and then today the internet hates her because she wasn't at the race.

as the saudi arabian gp came and went max was busy with stragety meetings and such this meant that instead of coming home for a few days like he had previously planned he stayed out there and was going to go straight from there to australia and at this point you were really missing your boyfriend. the hate had not subsided either. it was just a very difficult time for you. one night where you had just been scrolling through twitter reading through the cruel things that people had been saying about you, you hit your limit. there was no way that you could deal with this for the rest of the season. so insteadyou decided to do something about it.

the morning you needed to fly to australia was when you realised that this was a bad idea. you had woken up in enough pain to down a horse, joints aching and head spinning. but danny had pulled strings for you. he had arranged everything just so that you could surprise your boyfriend and there was no way you were going to cancel when the plan was already in motion. so instead you just grinned and bared it. the flight was okay, luckily daniel had booked you a first class seat.. but sleep was hard to come by due to your body not being used to sleeping while being in flight. you were already tired when you landed in australia. due to the lack of notice the only flight daniel could arrange got in late on the saturday night. so you had booked a hotel next to the airport and arranged for a car to pick you up in the morning.

it had been so fucking hot in your hotel room and that meant that sleep was incredibly difficult to find. you tossed and turned all night only getting five hours of low quality sleep. in the morning you had pulled on a comfortable outfit and made your way out to the car that daniel had arranged for you.

f1wags: y/n y/ln has arrived to her first ever grand prix. y/n has been dating max verstappen for 18 months and had never been to a race before. but today that changes. she is not dressed in usual wag attire instead in an oversized shirt and bike shorts with a red bull cap. she may not be dressed like the others but we are happy to see her in the paddock

user30: we wait for her to show up and she comes wearing that. what an awful wag

user31: go on girl. give us nothing.

user32: i'm actually so happy she is here. i love y/n and have never understood the hate i think she is the cutest

the red bull garage was incredibly easy to spot. your eyes found danny loitering outside having a meaningless conversation with your boyfriend, "i got you a present mate. as it is my home gp i decided to spoil you", danny spoke and max raised an eyebrow.

"whatever it is i am sure that i don't want it", max responded

"i wouldn't be so sure", you cut in and max turned around instantly at the sound of your voice a wide smile gracing his features.

"oh my god, y/n", he spoke as his arms engulfed you in a tight hug. "what are you doing here love?"

"i wanted to surprise you"

"well consider me surprised"

you laughed softly as you followed your boyfriend into the red bull garage he gave you a tour of the garage and you followed him clinging onto his arm. he was used to having to hold you up so leaning on him did relieve your aching joints. max knew all about your medical issues he had helped you with them for over a year. he knew that coming to australia was pushing your body past its limits so every so often he made sure to check in on you. make sure that you sat for a little bit before interacting with the rest of the team. however when he left to go and race there was no longer anyone in the garage that knew about your medical issues. and this is what led to you being stood all of the race. stragestists and other people who you gathered were important to the team took the seats, while you stood towards the back of the garage.

it was around lap twenty when your left ankle began to properly hurt and your eyes felt heavy. a clear indicator of fatigue and your body telling you that you needed to rest. but your boyfriend was racing so well and you wanted to be able to watch him. the race continued for a few more laps however just as max started the thirty first lap your ankle gave way, dislocating from the strain of you being stood on it when it was already under pressure. you crumpled onto the floor a yelp leaving your lips as you fell but you were unable to put your hands out to soften your fall so you ended up hitting your head on the hard ground. this was enough to knock you out. first aiders ran over and called the ambulance into the paddock but you next regained consciousness inside the ambulance, on the way to hospital. alone.

user36: shit i hope whoever it is is okay

user37: the red bull garage do look rather stressed

"well done max you have just won the australian grand prix", christian had called over the radio. he felt guilt twinge at him. his girlfriend had been rushed to the hospital thirty laps ago but christian had made the decision to not tell max until the end of the race. he knew that the dutch driver was going to be mad when he heard the news. christian decided he needed someone else to tell max what had happened. "daniel can you come find me as soon as you are out of the car", he had intercepted the racing bulls radio just to give daniel the message, christian knew it would be better to have bad news coming from him rather than himself.

"thirty fucking laps ago", max spoke pacing back and forth in front of one of his closest friends. "you are trying to tell me my girlfriend had an ambulance called on her thirty laps ago and no one told me. she is in a foreign hospital. alone and probably scared shitless", max ranted to danny.

"i know man, christian just asked me to tell you. we can go to the hospital after the podium ceremony"

"oh fuck that i'm going now"

"you aren't driving", daniel knew better than to argue with max in that moment. yes christian would be pissed to find out that max was skipping the podium ceremony but daniel was not going to stop him from leaving. instead the two man snuck out the back of the paddock and to danny's car. the two racecar drivers got to the hospital in record speed with max running up to the front desk asking the nurse where he could find you. he was ushered through the hospital to a ward.

you were sat in a private ward you ankle elevated, an ice pack on your head and fluid iv in your arm. "max. you won.", you spoke softly. you had the television on and the grand prix on, you had just watched footage of a frantic christian looking for the driver that was now in your room.

"that does no matter my love, what happened?"

"i just pushed myself too far max. i forced myself to stand the whole time and my ankle dislocated, the doctors want to operate on it soon. and when i fell i gave myself a nasty concussion", you explained and the look on max's face could only be described as broken.

"oh my love", he spoke softly pressing a kiss to your forehead.

"i just didn't want the fans to think i was a bad girlfriend. that you deserve more than me", you spoke quietly, "they all hate me because i can't go to races", you spoke tears forming in your eyes but max's thumb quickly wiped them away.

"they don't hate you. they just don't know you honey."

"we should put out a statement, tell them what has been going on with me"

"you just read my mind my love"

What is POTS? This strange disorder has doubled since the pandemic - Published July 23, 2024

Unpaywalled at our covid archive!

Millions of people now live with the debilitating disorder, which can be triggered by viral illnesses like COVID-19. And many say the recommended treatment—exercise—has backfired.

In late 2021, after 18 months of long COVID symptoms, Oonagh Cousins, a member of Great Britain rowing team, was ready to resume training. She’d contracted COVID-19 in early 2020, and although her initial case was mild, Cousins spent the next year and a half experiencing a fatigue that went far beyond just feeling tired. “It was like a deep sickness,” she says, a “sludgy, deep weakness” that flared up after even mild exertion.

After that lengthy recovery period, Cousins’ only remaining symptom was a very mild case of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome—POTS—which is a type of dysautonomia characterized by an abnormal rise in heart rate after changing position, like sitting to standing. Patients with POTS report a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Cousins is among millions of people living with POTS, a number that is estimated to have doubled since the beginning of the pandemic. Some of the known triggers include pregnancy, surgery, or a viral illness, such as COVID-19. A subset of these POTS patients also has a condition called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is characterized by post-exertional malaise (PEM)—a situation in which symptoms worsen after exercise.

For patients with PEM, pushing past their physical limits—often encouraged in POTS recovery exercise protocols—can lead to major crashes. As a result, many patients with POTS and ME/CFS report being given inappropriate guidance on exercise, the consequences of which can be severe.

“They don’t teach us about ME/CFS or POTS in medical school,” says Sujana Reddy, a resident physician at East Alabama Medical Center, who developed both conditions after a COVID-19 infection in 2020.

We gotta find out if looking for holes in the heart would help more of us, the dysautonomia and connective tissue disorder and long covid sufferers. (and more, and more)

This congenitally incomplete heart ("atrial septal defect," in my case), with just a little, diffificult-to-detect hole in it ("heart shunt"), is frequently comorbid with/possibly caused by connective tissue disorders.

(hmmmm, so is dysautonomia)

We all get our hearts thoroughly checked during diagnostics because heart damage could cause some of these symptoms. But they NEVER LOOK for this particular issue ("bubble test" during echocardiogram), because surely if you had a heart defect, it would have been found before now.

(I'm 45, by the way. This is the first year anyone has ever checked if I have a heart shunt. My POTS diagnosis was over a decade ago; they all assured me that my heart was completely normal.)

Even if you have a heart shunt, where blood leaks between heart chambers, well "20% of people have one, this isn't causing your (symptoms of heart damage)"

(how many of those 20% are *US*? Or people who could be US, if they had a virus hit just wrong, like Epstein-Barr/mono, flu, or.... *drumroll* covid?)

And how many times have you tried to get more fit, got to where you thought you could really do some of the activities you desperately wanted to do, and suddenly crashed? ... and then could never get to that level of fitness again? Like something was damaged further, like something inside broke a little more and your very best is now less than it was a week ago.

Or you had a physically difficult activity like moving house, and afterwards you were never as able as before the move, because maybe the extra bodily stress really did add a tiny tear to a tiny, minor, miniscule existing injury in just the wrong place.

Or you just suddenly couldn't do the same amount of activity any more, out of the blue, because something damaged your heart a touch more but they assured you your heart was solid, it's just the dysautonomia.

More than one hole. I've been walking around with more than one hole in the inner walls of my heart. ToShredsYouSay.jpg

Before surgery on Oct 2, I was walking 3 steps at a time then resting for hours. Yesterday, Oct 13, my fitbit recorded 4221 steps. How far will I improve? How much of my dysautonomia symptoms, how much of my fatigue and pain, was

A FUCKENING HOLE IN MY HEART??

Cardiac surgeon: "There was more than one hole."

strongly recommend against dislocating additional rib when getting open heart surgery

recommend against having rib re-locate by having unadjusted bipap mask pressed to face and inflating lungs too much

also recommend against discovering new vomit-level meds allergies when coping with open heart surgery and rib trying to re-dislocate

Tristan's Fetch and Tug Buddy: "You went through open heart surgery on hard mode."

There's no place like home.

my best friend layla made a gofundme for her boyfriend, who suffers from very severe me/cfs (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) and cci (craniocervical instability).

because of these illnesses, he might die. only two doctors in europe do surgery on me/cfs patients, who also suffer from cci, and they are located in spain. he will have to pay a special flight from italy, somewhere to stay and the surgery itself, and none of that is covered by insurance.

he is suffering so much. layla listed a few of his symptoms in his gofundme already, but the only thing he can (or is forced to) do is lie in a dark room with no stimuli AT ALL. no music, no light, no touch, not even being on the phone for too long, accompanied with tons of physical suffering as in pain or seizure-like symptoms. his suffering is not imaginable for people who don‘t have very severe me/cfs.

please read, share and donate. it‘s so very very urgent and a reblog would mean the world and could save his life.

The Best Laparoscopy Doctor Near You: A Path to Safer, Faster Recovery

Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgery, is a breakthrough in gynecological treatments. With its ability to treat various conditions through small incisions, laparoscopy has gained immense popularity for its precision, quicker recovery times, and reduced risk of complications. If you are considering laparoscopic surgery for conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or ovarian cysts, finding the best laparoscopy doctor near you is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome.

In this blog, we will take a closer look at laparoscopy, its benefits, common conditions it can treat, and how you can find a top laparoscopic surgeon like Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy for your treatment.

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy, often called "keyhole surgery," is a procedure where a thin, lighted tube with a camera (called a laparoscope) is inserted into the abdomen or pelvic area through small incisions. This allows the surgeon to view the internal organs and perform surgeries without making large cuts.

Laparoscopy is used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It is especially beneficial for gynecological issues such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts.

Key Benefits of Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy offers a range of advantages compared to traditional open surgeries:

Minimally Invasive: The incisions made are tiny, reducing the trauma to the body and leading to less bleeding and a lower risk of infection.

Faster Recovery: Patients generally experience a quicker recovery time, with many returning to normal activities within a few days.

Less Pain: Because the incisions are smaller, the pain post-surgery is less intense, and medication needs are reduced.

Improved Precision: The laparoscope allows for better visualization of the area, enabling the surgeon to make more accurate decisions and perform more precise surgeries.

Common Conditions Treated with Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a versatile technique used to treat various gynecological conditions:

1. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it. It can cause severe pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility. Laparoscopy is commonly used to diagnose and remove the endometrial tissue, offering relief from symptoms.

2. Fibroids

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can form in the uterus. They can lead to heavy periods, pelvic pain, and fertility issues. Laparoscopic myomectomy (removal of fibroids) can preserve the uterus and help women maintain their fertility.

3. Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can cause pain or bloating. While many cysts are harmless, some may need to be surgically removed. Laparoscopy offers a precise method for cyst removal, minimizing damage to the ovaries.

4. Ectopic Pregnancy

In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. This can be life-threatening and requires prompt treatment. Laparoscopy allows for the removal of the ectopic pregnancy with minimal disruption to the surrounding organs.

5. Infertility

Laparoscopy can help identify underlying causes of infertility, such as blocked fallopian tubes or endometriosis. By treating these issues, laparoscopic surgery can improve the chances of conception.

Why Choose Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is an excellent option for those seeking to avoid the longer recovery times and complications associated with traditional open surgery. Here are some reasons to consider laparoscopy:

Faster Recovery: Since the procedure is minimally invasive, patients often experience less post-operative pain and can return to their normal routine in a shorter time.

Less Scarring: The small incisions used in laparoscopy result in minimal scarring compared to open surgery.

Precise Diagnosis and Treatment: The laparoscope provides a clear, magnified view of the internal organs, allowing the surgeon to make an accurate diagnosis and perform targeted treatments.

How to Choose the Best Laparoscopy Doctor Near You

When considering laparoscopy, it is essential to choose an experienced and skilled surgeon who specializes in this field. Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy is a well-known and highly respected laparoscopic surgeon, offering patients expert care for a variety of gynecological conditions.

Why Choose Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy?

Expertise and Experience: With years of experience in performing laparoscopic procedures, Dr. Reddy has successfully treated numerous patients with various gynecological issues.

Advanced Technology: Dr. Reddy uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure the safest and most effective treatments.

Patient-Centered Care: He takes a personalized approach to treatment, ensuring that every patient receives tailored care and attention based on their unique health needs.

Successful Outcomes: Dr. Reddy’s expertise has helped many women achieve successful outcomes, whether through relieving painful conditions like endometriosis or improving fertility.

What to Expect During Laparoscopy

Pre-Surgery:

Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with Dr. Reddy to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Pre-surgical tests may be conducted to ensure your readiness for the surgery.

During Surgery:

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Small incisions are made in the abdomen or pelvic area, and the laparoscope is inserted to view the organs. Depending on your condition, the surgeon may remove fibroids, cysts, or endometrial tissue, or perform another necessary procedure.

Post-Surgery:

The recovery time after laparoscopy is typically short, and most patients can go home the same day or the day after the procedure. Some mild discomfort may be experienced, but this usually resolves quickly. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to monitor your recovery.

When to Consult a Laparoscopy Doctor

It’s time to consult a laparoscopic specialist if you are experiencing any of the following:

Severe pelvic pain or discomfort

Heavy or irregular periods

Difficulty getting pregnant or unexplained infertility

Ovarian cysts or fibroids

Symptoms of endometriosis, such as painful menstruation

Conclusion

Laparoscopy offers a minimally invasive solution for a variety of gynecological issues, providing faster recovery, minimal scarring, and more precise treatment. Choosing the right doctor is crucial to achieving the best results.

There are a lot of things I could say right now. A lot of emotions roiling and punching and screaming to be vocalized. But I don't have the strength right now to articulate all of that. What I will say is this.

I'm a disabled woman. I've been disabled nearly all of my life. I had severe chronic kidney infections requiring multi-weekly injections from the time I was three months old until I was four and a half, when I had major surgery - without which, I'd be dead by now. I bear scars and an undersized kidney and the gratefulness I didn't almost die from giardia like my sister. I had about a year and a half between recovering from my surgery and starting to get sick again; in that time, I won the Presidential Fitness Award, played soccer, and did gymnastics, and was so skilled at the latter that they wanted to train me privately for competition (terrible at soccer, though. oof). In second grade, the PE teacher called my parents because I was no longer able to participate the way I had before, and she was worried. Took several more years before I was finally diagnosed with what was then called chronic fatigue syndrome. I got progressively sicker from there. My parents didn't think I'd finish fourth grade because I missed so much of the school year due to being sick. No one thought I'd finish high school, and a huge part of the reason I graduated was because I had a 504, and parents who fought for me to get that 504 - and an advisor who dated the expiry date for it past the time I'd graduate, because the administration had nearly refused to grant it to me and she wanted to make sure it wouldn't be taken away.

I've fought every step of the way to achieve what I have, but I absolutely wouldn't have got there if it weren't for the fact that disability rights legislation exists - and it exists because of hard-fought battles by disability rights activists. Disability rights are still a relatively recent thing - the ADA was only passed in 1990 - and people with disabilities are still regularly left out of rights conversations. And, lest you think 'oh, well, I'm not disabled' - guess what? You're going to get old. A split second might change your life. Disability is the one demographic literally anyone could find themselves in at any time, and are increasinbly likely to become a member of as they age. People with disabilities are uniquely vulnerable to the whims of governments, and looking forward, it is an absolute surety that our rights - our very value as human beings deserving of life and respect and love - will be in danger. Our lives will be in danger. Medicaid and Medicare are both at extreme risk. Health insurance coverage in general is almost certainly going to contract and exclude a hell of a lot of us. (I lived in the UK during the 2016 election knowing I was moving back to America in 2017 and sobbed at the results because I was terrified.) Access to care in general is also likely to seep away like toxins into groundwater, leaving far too many without access to vital and necessary means to survive.

To sum up: people with disabilities are going to die. And if you don't care about that, if you can't be bothered, I have only this to say to you: go fucking trip in a pothole and break your neck on the way down.

Moving on to a different topic.

Two of my closest, dearest friends are queer. Very different identities, very different people, both people without whom I'm not sure I'd have survived the last decade. You know who not only doesn't give a shit about people with queer identities but is actively advocating to relegate them to statuses less than human? Yeah. The shithead America just elected as president. It's made trans identities a pointed, specific point of attack, demonizing people who literally only want to be seen as normal so they can carry on with life. The vitriol spewed at trans individuals, at anyone who isn't cis-het, is horrific and disgusting and now has an even greater platform to not only continue to demonize perfectly normal people but also actively legislate to remove their rights, along with those of anyone who doesn't happen to identify with their assigned gender at birth or a strictly heterosexual attraction to others.

As my last futile shriek into the night, for now, I return to the fact that I'm a woman. I've been on birth control since I was 18. I currently have an IUD. I used to have the arm implant thing. For most of the time that I've been using birth control, the goal has been to control, minimize, or largely eliminate my period, but I'm gonna be honest here: I've also used it to keep from getting pregnant (gasp, shock, horror, go fuck yourself if you think this is somehow unacceptable). But guess what? Birth control is a vitally important way in which people are able to exercise autonomy over their bodies. How we are able to choose to be intimate with men without being terrified that doing so will irrevocably alter our lives in a way over which we have no say. How we're able to avoid having to face the decision to have an abortion. When my mother was a young woman, abortion was illegal. Didn't matter the circumstances, didn't matter the timeline; you got pregnant, no matter how, you had almost no options. If you decided to end your pregnancy and were lucky, you might visit a doctor who knew what they were doing and provided competent care without risking your life, and survive to one day have a family, if you wanted. If you weren't, you might end up with permanent damage to your reproductive organs that meant you could never have children. Or dead.

We started a return to this reality several years ago, when Roe v. Wade was repealed by the Supreme Court and states across the country instituted extreme abortion bans that basically said a hearty Fuck You to every woman in this country. Women have died as a result, women who should be alive right now. Children are living without their mothers because doctors are scared to provide necessary care. And now even more women are going to die. I live in a blue state with no restrictions on abortion and I'm fucking terrified because my rights, my autonomy, my ability to make my own fucking decisions about myself, my body, my own damn life are in question despite where I live. I'm a person. Every fucking woman is a person. We deserve to be able to decide what the fuck we want to do with our bodies, without anyone else's input.
