allergy resident today was getting the medical history from me and at the end of it they just kinda sat back and were like "wow I feel kinda bad for you, you really just got like everything"

later asked my allergist if my MCAS was controlled and he just went "ha! no."

#love doctors with zero bedside manner #cut the bullshit nothing they told you in med school will help with this kind of thing #no placating or validating tone is gonna change the fact that i have a poorly contrllled deadly allergy disorder #and i will spend the rest of my life on boatloads of expensive meds #'oh that sucks'#thank you for the helpful remark #its so beyond the realm of most peoples understanding #that they dont know what to say and even when they try it lands nowhere near helpful #cromolyns got fucking hands today #also not thrilled about having to go on this med #my insurance wont cover the xolair without me trying pepcid and singulair first #fun fact in between now and when i last took it singulair has acquired a black box warning for causing depression #feel like that explains a lot about my childhood i was on it for like five years #not a very happy camper today #salt baby talks #ehlers danlos syndrome #chronic illness #postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome #disability #mcas
