#chronic illess

[brandileigh2003]

I've got a fic rec!! run to read this----older wolfstar, get back together, remus with chronic illness, raising teddy, hea.

completed! fic: orange juice (i've been ready for you to come home for so long)

Tears prickle at the back of Remus’s eyes, and he lets them fall, finding himself rattled by sobs, not from pain or humiliation, but because he didn’t realize how much of a relief it would be to let someone—not a stranger he’s paying, but someone he cares about—take care of him. He’s nearly wracked by the guilt, the shame of it, that he could have had this all along but gave it up, pushed Sirius away before he even had a chance to prove him wrong.

His hand is warm and gentle and Remus leans into the touch involuntarily but Sirius doesn’t pull away this time, “It’s okay. You’re okay. I’m here.”

My freelancer has POTS

This is bc I might have POTS

And i crave the unlimited patience and love and connection the DAMN squad has and would have with freelancer if they were having a flare up.

When they need to lay on the ground because the world was going dark, Damian would be there holding their hands to keep them grounded.

When they need to slam down a salt packet, Huxley and Dear cheer them on like they are at a sports game.

Gavin having unlimited patience for their bad days and staying in bed with them, holding them tight and muttering sweet nothings like “its okay to take a day off” and “your body is telling you to rest, there isn’t anything bad in listening to it”

OMG Lasko helping them set up their accommodations for school and helping enforce them when their teachers just say to drop a class.

when they need to lay down for a few minutes. Caelum is there to keep in yapping so they dont start overthinking.

None of them treating Freelancer like a kid because they need to sit down every once in a while. None of them excluding Freelancer because they cant go out that night.

This is my new Headcanon :)

Hello!!! Do you know any fics in which John has chronic pain?? I struggle to find them cuz it's always Sherlock the one who has it,,,

Thank I smmm

♥️♥️♥️

Hi Nonny!

Ahh, this is a good question, one I sadly can't think of at the moment. Oh wait, actually if you're okay with AUs, John has chronic and phantom pain in his joints from his cybernetic implants in this story:

Maintenance and Repair by patternofdefiance (E, 106,650 w., 71 Ch. || Future AU, Augmentation || Augmented John, Depression, Body Modification, Slow Burn, Worldbuilding, Sci-Fi, Self-Care, Body Dysmorphia) – John wants to explain the rush of sensation and data, which is just another form of sensation (or is it the other way around?). John wants to say: Augmentation circuits report temperature, pressure, various forms of quantitative input. Sudden changes are reported as pain, since sudden changes are dangerous, and pain is the quickest way to encourage reflexive extraction. But all John can manage is, “Nng.” Because this sudden touch is not reporting as pain. Part 2 of STATIC

I know that I've read others but they're not coming to me at the moment. I MIGHT have some more on my Chronic Illness / Pain (MFLs) list I put out awhile ago!

If anyone has something they want to suggest, please do!! <3

is ibs a chronic illness? and does chronic constipation count as a chronic illness too?

Yes, IBS is a chronic illness.

Chronic constipation would probably more than likely get you an IBS diagnosis (if no other cause is determined). Though chronic constipation could be due to poor diet, but we don’t know if doctors take that into consideration when diagnosing it??

Let’s make the second question a poll, for curiosity’s sake.

Todays thoughts on Fear/Love

In this body,

I grew up in fear of my neurodiverse queer crip body

To now loving myself for features that seemed to monstrous, scary and alien before.

This applies to chronic illess and disability

Gender

Sexuality

And neurodiversity.

In the way I present to the world I am socially navigating

to be feared, in order to be respected

Or to be lovable, in order to be respected

Living in my true form meant not surviving in this body through out my childhood, teenage and early adult life which was marked by the judgements and laws violently opposed on bodies like mine.

Still today, when I am my most authentic self, I am afraid of being seen, because I fear that people can sense how "off" I am and that it triggers their response to escape from me or to fight/kill me.

I choose to be feared more these days, even if it seems contrary to my longing of community.

It keeps me safe to begin with and I can still be nice and kind later if I choose to.

Fear is a power people in the culture I live in are accustomed to obey to. It holds power.

Where as lovable traits are easily disregarded and disrespected.

I am full of those and have experienced a lot of pain for paying these forward in the past.

Now I know that it is a precious present to give.

I feel slightly melancholic about this circumstance, but this is the condition of the times I live in.

In the presence, I get to live and enjoy myself lovingly.

And I can share the clearest and truest parts of my existence with other beings whom it resonates with.

From my animistic perspective I get to live in way that defies previous judgements passed onto me.

That see's the fragments and nuances of things and how they relate to eachother.

What I see as beautiful, worthy of love and joyful lives alongside what might be seen as ugly, unloveable and scary.

How the deepest parts of the ocean hold tranquillity.

How death and life are integral and interconnected.

How my pain gives way to the deepest forms of healing to myself and others.

How empathy transcends all kinds of bodies.

How its not about how it looks, but how it feels.

How happiness and contentment are found not in security but in fluidity of its definition.

How magic is ever present.

How to find a way to live amids the Apocalypse of a world and story I did not create.

I can sense clearer now.

i just made a 2nd blog for my chronic illess stuff if anyone is interested

I have deactived my 2 instagram accounts, i think after leaving brighton i find it harder to look at my friends post of all them together but even more so the feeling of them not texting me back or the fact i keep picking up my phone to see if there is messages ( there never is ). and its slowly making me more sad and putting me in a mood. So i deactived my account, how long it wil last i do not know, iv decided to use tumblr religiously now. But also even though i only really talk to that friend group on insta they have many other ways to message me, like they have my phone number and whatsapp, god if they really needed 2 even tiktok LOL.

Talking about tiktok though im trying to get off that aswell, i took it off my home scene cuz i feel like i only go on it because i see it. and since iv done that i defo havnt been on it as much. il delete it when i get more comfortable. same with twitter or x whatever its called now. i dont use X that much but now that i dont have insta im not ready to let it go. Same with snapchat i only use it to text my IRL friends for plans and i use it to take in the moment pictures ( so i dont use all my ohone storage) thought i do need to learn to not take so many random pics that half the time i dont care about 2 days later, same with screenshots. Im a photographer so of course i like taking pics but sometimes i think its 2 much to be saving blurrry pics that have no meaning.

i wanna basically make my phone like an 2014 ipod, for music mainly and the odd text message, i think 2024 is finally try to stop using the bad side of social media. like i like tumblr i dont come here offen, i ahve a look for 5 mins, like stuff and go.

Well this is my first blog and genuielly might keep this up, i nice to get my thoughts to go somewhere, where i dont feel like im bothing someone. and also i love journaling, but writing hurts my hand with my chronic illess. i like typing, im fast at it, though i have terrible dyslexia and cant spell for shit.

ok thats it for now bye.

Sooo I ended up making the cosplay wishlist into a more general wishlist

It feels kinda weird, but since everything is expensive rn and I’m poor af on my little disability pay and not being able to work half as much as I want to, I kinda just figured…

Why not?

Anyways, just because I add the link to stuff it does not mean I ever expect anything, ever! 💞

Listen to a clip of HBP 13: Fantastic Goals and How to Set Them!

In this clip, Danny comments on one of the biggest pitfalls of common goal-setting - especially for those with chronic illness.

Check out the full episode for ways to *actually* make things happen and how Johna (possibly) maps out her ghost-punching plan for the year. Links are in the reblog!

i’m so frustrated like every time i try and look up some way for me to get some exercise the BEST advice i found was working out in a pool, because its not as high impact. the rest of the advice was stuff:

lose weight! you’re sick because your fat!

are you sure you’re not making this up for painkillers?

I’ve never even heard of this problem

you know, everyone has pain right? just take some ibuprofen about it

the Right Vitamins will literally cure all of the problems you’ve ever experienced 

here read 200k words by very obviously paid actors extolling your garbage with a dead ‘please pay me’ look in their eyes

hey ... it says you did some research before coming here so you could ask me salient questions about your care. that is Unacceptable. only i’m allowed to be informed.

get your head straight! anxiety! you’re doing this to yourself you big moron!

have we mentioned that your poor personal choices are the reason you’re a fat tub or lard and we’ve decided that means you deserve your suffering

now give us your money and scram

[spoonless-sunflower]

One of the most confusing parts about POTS, at least for me bc I still have no real guidance and I'm trying to figure it all out.. is the heart palpitations.

Sometimes I'm anxious and my heartbeats are wild and painful. And sometimes I'm anxious and my heart is regular fast-beating. Is some of that hyper-beating from a POTS flare? Is it an anxiety attack?

This week I'm flaring in the opposite direction. Even when I'm anxious my heartbeats feel way too slow. I'm light-headed and can't move. Sodium and water aren't helping. Why??

[rainbow-fairylandsystem]

oh my god. oh my god, what if i’m not stupid? what if i just have brain fog?

i’ve spent years thinking about how much slower i’ve gotten since i was a teenager, i used to be so quick and sharp. i was never good in school, but i was always good at stuff like literary analysis and debating and languages. at the very least, i could devour chapter books in a matter of hours

now, i can’t even get through a few pages of a book without just giving up. i just thought, wow, am i just getting stupid now that i’m older? my brain can never keep up with conversations and it takes me ages to come up with an answer for anything.

what if this isn’t my fault?

[chronic-confessions]

Confession #3,519

I feel terrible for my partner. Every day he plans his day around mine and wether it is a “not so bad pain day” or a “bad pain day”. I feel like I’m weighing him down, especially when I can’t even stand up to get my pain killers.
