Shout out to people with breathing related disabilities because this shit sucks
People who need inhalers and nebulizers. People who use ox tanks. People who can’t stand or walk too much because it makes breathing harder. People who have given up important parts of their life because of their breathing issues. People who need assistance and caregivers. Especially huge shoutout to people whose breathing problems don’t have any treatments and/or are getting worse with time
In my experience, we are often left out of the disabled community, either implicitly or explicitly. Needing assistance with chores and errands is so common for disabled people yet when it’s a lung or airway issue that causes us to need that assistance, we’re left out of the convo. Conditions like cystic fibrosis, COPD, lung cancer, VCD, asthma, anaphylaxis, and more can all be seriously disabling. We deserve a voice
Anyways, big hugs for people with breathing issues that want one. We deserve more love <3
#Lincoln logs#disability#actually disabled#VCD#vocal cord dysfunction#asthma#mopping three tiles worth of flooring made my airway close up and it’s got me feeling things

Had a nice long stretch with the muscle spasms under control but they are back with a vengeance today 😭
#my entire ribcage is raw like a bruise and when it happens in the neck it feels like my throat is closing. its such a scary feeling 😭😭😭#its not actually closing up but it FEELS like it and it's hard to calm the panic#pulmonologist said there's no obstruction to my airway and smy lungs are healthy so its literally just discomfort from the muscle spasms

if there's one thing i have learned from watching a million x-rays of people swallowing, it's that epiglottises come in all shapes and sizes.
#like this thing is meant to close off the airway when you swallow#so you'd think evolution would have selected for a particular shape that works best#but no they're all different looking#at least from the side#my favorites are the ones that are long and have a very defined curl at the end#bc those are easiest for me to see moving and therefore easiest to score lol#j.txt#here is that grad school tag

men are so silly cause why are you as a no doubt overworked taxi driver at fuckass 8am racing my mother who's fully willing to lift our own suitcases in your trunk and insisting you can do it on your own like My Brother. We're not judging your work ethic or macho strength we just want to get to the bus place. It is OKAYYYYY unclench but ofc he didn't he lifted everything on his own. Hope he had fun hope he got the confidence boost amen

#summer was fine except for everything that started breaking in here#this winter has been fucking dark#and i wanna fucking die#crying tonight because my skin fucking burns and rashes every time i wash my face at night bc everything in the bathroom is moldy#like everything is black and or gray#i barely even shower because it smells so bad in there#it wasn't supposed to do this and we have the theory this place was moldy when we bought it#especially the bathroom bc the shower wasn't finished and we've been too broke to fix it at all#the mattress has black mold everywhere even on the outside of a sealed mattress protector with an antimicrobial coating#my hormones and health have been fucked up since November#weather wise this is one of the coldest and wettest winter in this area in like 40+ years#the last three days i have had to stay up all night to make sure the water doesnt shut off freeze in the pipes or flood managing that 24/7#bc on valentines day it dumped more snow than an average winter should have here in 24 hours and then dropped below freezing#i got my psoriasis and eczema back#i have thrush now#i can't breathe most the time bc my throat has been reacting like anaphylaxis and my airways start to close#oh and on top of that my husband just hasn't been working for a month bc there's no work at his job so we have all of 0.54 cents in account#we gotta pay rent in a week hopefully we don't get kicked out og where we're parking#and bc of the work stuff we can't move for a few months till we can get enough saved to do that and so im stuck here#i live in abject squalor#oh also did i mention everything i own has to fit into two cupboards now due to the mold ruining all our shit#and all the cupboards but two are rotted out#and the floor in our room is peeling up and breaking off bc of the mold#we both are having an incredibly hard time mentally#my txt

[id: tweet from Lydia Sigwarth, @LibraryLydia: when you were 11 did you hand-write 3 chapters lf the first book of a planned trilogy and then completely forget about it until you discovered the notebook as an adult and were horrified or were you normal. End id]
#no but i did basically the worldbuilding wquovalent of that#i wrote like 6 handwritten back to back pages about a fantasy world(s) going into extreme detail about dwarves and elves and dragons#the dragons were really interesting. a lot of them were kinda based really deeply into their elements and were not based in research but#had very specific advantages/disadvantages much like real life animals#i left my notebook at the place i live but im visiting home rn but lemme try to remember#it was stuff like certain dragons being able to hear within certain ranges and how their cultures would develop around that#water dragons i think were deaf but had sensitivities to water currents so a their language was based around movement/gestures in the water#earth dragons were blind but sensitive to noise and could hear higher pitches compared to other dragons#a lot of my elves/dwarves were traditional#dwarves lived underground elves in trees#but dwarves to me had a very big respect/interest in medicine because living in close cramped limited airway spaces would really impact#health/hygiene#plagues and such would be devastating in that environment. not to mention rockslides/cave collpases#elves were long lives but their craftmanship impressive because it had to last a long time. lifetime guarantee from an elven craftsman like#thats amazing if you think about it#also i say world(s) because my ultimate goal was to make a medieval fantasy scifi. somehow#theres also a lot of. deeply misguided stuff in that journal. some very interesting ideas though#i enjoy rereading it#sadly i never got around to thinking about a vampire world 😔 it was ln the list tho

Actually, come to think of it, what do healthy people mean when they say they "can't breathe"? Like during running and stuff. Because I've always thought that they mean the same thing I mean, but considering that I have exercise-induced asthma, I assume that me actually being unable to physically breathe is not normal.
Because I personally literally can't breathe. When I try to, I just feel pain as the air refuses to go inside my lungs. My lungs will not expand and if I attempt to force them to, it hurts really bad. I can get air out during coughing fits but nothing can get in. I also spit out mucus during the coughing fits. I just start coughing and suddenly mucus' everywhere.
#the scientific explanation is that my airways literally close/tighten which is why i cant get any air in#apparently they do that when the air becomes too dry

godddd i hate when people talk about having a "bad" or "severe" animal allergy and its for an animal that they currently own that live in their homes. if you can survive living with this animal it is a MODERATE allergy at worst.
like im sure its unpleasant but severe allergies can KILL people, shit like this contributes to people not taking severe allergies seriously and endangering others
#if you are not going into anaphylaxis or having your airways close up#if it is not an immediate risk to life#it is not a '''''severe''''' allergy#'i take meds tho' oh to be so fortunate. that's a moderate allergy#there is no amount of allergy medication that could let me be able to breathe if i shared a house with my allergy triggers#.vxt#negative#allergies are never pleasant! mild/moderate allergies should still be respected#but you don't need to undermine severe allergies to do so

Not looking forward to mosquito season when I have to explain to people that yes, I'm actually allergic to mosquitos and no, not everyone is allergic to mosquitos but I am and it can give me anaphylaxis (for some reason people don't believe me when I say I'm allergic??)
#eelslippers#like....ive had to almost go to the hospital numerous times#my airways close up and i swell up and break out in full body hives#if i get bitten too many times my tongue goes numb and i get dizzy#it's AWFUL. PLUS theres so many mosquitos here in the north
