#hey go to a doctor maybe

[mordcore]

its not normal to get tunnel vision when hungry???? wikipedia doesn't even list it as a possible cause... the closest thing is syncope (fainting) which i do feel close to every time i get dizzy and tunnel vision like that (aka presyncope)

and it's associated with intense emotions & high adrenaline, which feels vaguely familiar but doesn't explain why getting hungry would cause it

i'm starting to think that getting dizzy and brain fogged and other presyncope symptoms when hungry is also not normal.... certainly is very unhelpful in the obtaining the food process so it seems like it would be an evolutionary death sentence if everyone had it

gods i am so diseased

It's racist, my dear, to be blunt. People come from outside, they think we're all witches and druids. For God's sake, child, you walked into a piece of string!

RTD: Fifteen is emotionally available :) fifteen, unlike past doctors, isn't afraid to talk about his feelings!!

Fifteen, nonchalantly shrugging off his whirlwind romance sacrificing himself to endless torture to save ruby sunday and the world, with a cheerful smile: I have to be like this because this is what I'm like.

i always say im able-bodied bc i feel like it best describes my General Lived Experience but i do have that like. thing in my legs where if i walk briskly for some distance (like 500 meters) i get this crushing pain in my whole lower legs which gets worse and worse if i keep walking until i eventually have to sit down for a few minutes and wait for it to go away. which im still trying to get diagnosed bc so far artery scans and muscle ultrasounds render nothing. and ngl it is like, an issue often enough and is a pretty bothersome thing when it happens (like not only bc its extremely painful but also having to find some place to sit down in the middle of the street and having to stay there a while isnt awesome) so im not entirely sure "able-bodied" fully describes me but i also am not sure its a disability bc we dont know wtf it is. so i guess im kind of in a weird inbetween where i err on the side of just assuming its not a disability and its just like, an annoying body thing..

(@transmasc-rose) Thinking about vampire Rose again. Yes the biting and biting and biting Nine is very good but how about cleaning up afterwards... All the pinprick (and not so pinprick) wounds and the blood that kept leaking after she let go...

yes plz be thinking about rose (<- no longer hungry and clear-headed now) having to patch the doctor up while he gives (poor) instructions how to while trying to think with a whole lot of blood loss.

yarrow's fun bc he's a doctor bc he wants to help people but then you peel that back a little and the reason he wants to help people is bc he would want others to do the same for him, then you peel that back and realize it's in parts a manifestation of his inability to ask for help in outright as well as feeling like he has to be "worthy" of receiving "good things" (re: outsources his self worth on how much he can help others). so he doesn't ask for the things he wants/wants to see in the world, and instead gives and gives hoping that people will see what he's doing and be inspired to do the same, but he's doesn't communicate this to anyone so he's left perpetually feeling like he's giving more than he receives and that doesn't become an arrogant sort of "i'm better than anyone else" but instead warps into a "i must not be doing enough" that starts the cycle over again. and he's at least semi-aware of this and how it's probably slowly destroying him as well, but doesn't know any other way to be so he just. continues.

guy who asks via actions and not words except nobody knows that so he's constantly left wanting for more. i don't have a conclusion for this i just wanted to talk about them

... So my doctor answered my "more pills"-request with:

"Wow, your back still hurts despite not working a physically demanding job? How strange. This is totally new information for me."

I've been TELLING you that I've had this pain for six fucking years, been taking pills for five without side-effects, and I'd worked at my job for 1,5.

HOW IN THE FUCK?

[angelpuns]

More about the pretty consistent body pain thing that's happening, I'm not sure if something is actually wrong with me or if its just the affect of overworking myself for liiiiikkkke 6 years??? ( arguably also overworking nyself before that now that u thjnk about it but moreso te past 6 years )

yeahhh and then also before that I'd did marching band and like- did it knowing I didn't have great knees :/ hmm just thinking thoughts

Sorry for the rambles I just like to think aloud and it helps doing it somewhere public :/

[variousqueerthings]

actually you know whose reaction I'd be really curious about, potentially coming across fourteen in the shops? Francine!

[taw-k]

My life will never be complete until I see more Bruce and Loki interactions.

[sualne]

[sleepinglionhearts]

Sometimes it's like. Ok, cool, small town, I can usually get a doctor's appointment same day, real quick and easy

And sometimes it's like well shit, small town, everyone is fucking sick, busy signal 4 times I call, get through and "oh, sorry, the earliest I could get you in is on the 22nd"

It is the 12th

Me in 2021:

Me now:

I've been on a closed loop system since 2022 and it's the first thing that's actually worked to get my blood glucose down permanently.

(I use the Dexcom/Tandem T:slim system)

I gifted myself an Apple Watch last year to track my health better, but it also allows me to show my blood glucose on the screen. Which is an oddly sentimental element, because when I was 6 and first diagnosed with Type 1 my grandmother said: "One day you'll be able to see your blood glucose on a watch, you mark my words!"

It might not be quite what either of us imagined, but hey gramma, I can see it on my watch now :')

[bumblingbabooshka]

Ok. Get closer why don’t you.

[transmasc-rose]

Ok I've gotten through s6e1-s6e8.

Are we not going to spend time dealing with the massive traumas Any just went through.

Like. Being killed by the Doctor. The whole "being trapped while pregnant and not even knowing until she's giving birth". Having her baby functionally die in her arms.

No? We're just gonna move on? Ok.
