Fellas, just a quick question if anyone knows

Is it normal that when you stand up your vision goes black and sometimes you just lose control over your body for a few seconds and just get a crap amount of spasms, stop understanding languages kinda (I know someone’s talking just can’t understand them for the love of god) and well uhh quite a lot of spasms. It usually is very light and subsides after a few seconds but it just happened way stronger (usually it’s just a bit of dark and sometimes some spasms but once in a while quite very strong) only when I stand up even after a bit of time. Thing to note, when it’s strong I don’t sometimes remember what happened or what is happening for a few seconds

getting really sick and tired of medical professionals referring to my lesbianism as a “choice”

“you’re still choosing that then and you’re sure that’s until the ages of 55?”

“you’re still choosing not to date men?”

DO U WANT ME TO KNIFE U IN UR SLEEP HAVE U NEVER INTERACTED WITH A QUEER PERSON BEFORE?! WHERE IS UR TRAINING?

Sometimes you spend the money you were saving for a new tattoo on handmade corsets because they were on sale and they are cheaper than a functional medical back brace but work about the same for you.

Sometimes you need to find ways to deal with your own medical issues because shit sucks and buying pretty corsets works for me.

And sometimes you get to walk up to your friend group welding your wizard staff (cane) and say "Whats up sluts, guess who just spent over 400$ on corsets"

I hate needing to see new doctors because I never know what could make them dismiss me.

I am to vague: obviously don't have an issue.

To spesific: hypochondriac.

Too knowledgeable about my own conditions: Has a suspicious extent of knowledge about spesific condition possible faker

Haven't heard of somthing like what they describe before: not real and if it is then it's clearly not important

Over explain to try and avoid the above: obsessed with being sick and looking for validation that they are. let them know you see through their evil gaslighting

[rosehipandroots]

hey do the other fused spine peoples out there legit struggle to describe how it feels to have a bad back day to a normal non-quarter-metal person or is it just me

i think the doctors have given up on me lmao

[spearmint333]

Not gonna get into it but having medical problems and getting very unlucky dude I had to crawl my way downstairs partially deaf and unable to move my eyes in their sockets (cuz pain scale 9 yeouch) (had to close my eyes every time I moved and only open them when I’m perfectly still like some kind of horror game) and like it was pretty freaking surreal having like no sleep feeling my way down the stairs in the house at 5:36 am lmao.

Felt kinda liminal, or maybe it was the migraine making me stupid idk 💀

But I was low-key feeling like an ego death or smt I felt like a creature on this planet bro.

Still don’t have my hearing back but hopefully it comes back eventually???? Cuz I can’t take the meds to fix it because it will react with my heart medication😔

Anyways I love pain meds <3

As someone with both general Aphasia and Palilalia,

if people are saying you keep repeating yourself, or whispering, and you don't think you are, it might be that. For years kids would tell me to stop whispering. I was doing that, but I didn't know. I couldn't feel my own lips moving and repeating my old words.

I have superficial thrombophlebitis aka a blood clot caused by acute iv trauma, according to the ultrasound tech it’s in a surface vein so odds are good nothing will be done for it. It should go away on its own in a week or two, it hurts less now thanks to the compression sleeve and ibuprofen, which I can only take two more days because of my poor kidney function. I’m a little annoyed there’s no real solution other than wait it out but at least it doesn’t seem serious. Still waiting to hear back from my doctor to see if she thinks something more needs to be done but right now it’s just kind of it is what it is. I might be a little less active as typing kind of exacerbates my pain so I might disappear for a min or two, I might not, not sure yet but as far as I can tell I’m not in any life threatening danger so yeah we’re as good as can be. Feel free to send pics, headcanons, fandom stuff of my husbands or just well wishes if anyone wants they’d be very appreciated but not expected. Sending love lovelies 🩷

Day 746

For all I have pushed to socialize myself more for my own mental health, it is nice to have time back to myself. And by time back, I mean the chance to split up my housekeeping tasks into two days instead of one.

And by having a chance, I mean… I currently have to limit my ability to go out into the community.

Unfortunately, for better or worse, some of my medical supplies are on backorder. The good news is there is a substitute, the bad news is the substitute makes it very difficult to do medical stuff out in public. It’s a big clunky, and most accessible washrooms are accessible with mobility needs in mind and not medical needs. I have enough of my usual supply to go out for a day only once.

Between the game meet up and working on site, working on site, unfortunately takes priority. Especially since I’m slated to sit at reception in the evening, and I couldn’t do that last week unexpectedly. This isn’t fair to my co-workers, especially since I suspect she may have not realized that I’m off on vacation again at the end of the month.

So, on site priority it is, and the game meet up had to be missed today.

But on the bright side it gave me time to mop my place, something I didn’t manage to do yesterday because I’m still kind of sick. Like my energy levels still aren’t 100 percent, which sucks, and occasionally my lungs decide to spasm causing a coughing fit. Even now I’m getting my breath back after a session of vacuuming and mopping.

At least it’s done, and now I can go work on other stuff, like journaling and writing more for Chimera Academy.

I haven't been binding lately because of mysterious chest pain, and it's only gotten worse :(

[doll-fae]

Got the date for my lumbar puncture sorted and so wish I didn't. I had it today and was told that it should only be pressure. It was not. It was incredibly excruciating and painful. It felt like the doctor was ripping apart my nerves. Then he couldn't even get a sample because he caused a hematoma. I'm in so much pain afterwards too, I can't even breathe deeply or lay on my back or turn properly. Can barely be upright. I'm in so much pain and for nothing.

Someday I don't understand myself. I was practicing today for a hour or soo and I thought 'Hey my wrist has been fine for the last few days their is no reason it would start hurting now... HOW WRONG I WAS!

Like please I just wanna do anything without my wrist feeling like it literally wants to break OFF. Currently doing everything with my amazing but very dumb left hand.

If I could go back in time i would tell my past self to not go and do stupid things(and to go fins better doctors). Stupid ass chronic pain

I complain a lot, yeah, but after dealing with my ear problems and how painful and debilitating it's been, my eyes decided to now cause me problems. My vision is (was) good enough that I used my low prescription glasses minimally, but now? Ugh.

It started a month or so ago with really bad eye flurries, black specks of different sizes. It would get worse in the sunlight so it's caused me to go outside even less since it's persistent. But now? It's awful. I keep thinking I'm hallucinating or there's real bugs around me because the specks are so large and move, I wish I could just just ignore it, but it's impossible not to.

Now my eyes hurt at times, long periods, just sticking around on the top(?) And sides and all I want is to close my eyes and keep them shut.

Then my vision has been getting worse. I've never dealt with such bad vision, and its happened so quickly for it to decide. I can't even differentiate books of the same color next to each other- I can't even see what the bold color titles are, only when I get close enough can I tell. I can't read the text on my phone or kindle clearly, I can't read the name of a shampoo(?) bottle only a counter away in my bathroom, it's hard to see the bold SCP logo on my mug two counters away. I can read very, very bold letters if it's close enough, but god damn if I could see the time clearly on my phone's lockscreen that'd be great. I can see better on the sides of my vision so at least I got that lol

It's all just happened so quickly and I hate it, I'm not used to this and it's just annoying. I'm getting an eye appointment soon and I just hope I get a solution for the eye flurries and eye pain, get told to wear my glasses more. Idk. I am scared I'll be shrugged off since I'm only 21, but I'm just used to normal doctors saying I'm too young to have problems and so on.

Okay, complaining over.
