Across the Universe, aka Death Race Turtle-thousand as I like to call it.

Raphael’s episode, so you’d think I’d be all “Hell yes! An entire episode about my main guy! My favorite Turtle takes center stage!”

Yeah, you’d think that, and you’d be wrong. 😑Oddly enough, it’s for the exact opposite reason that I disliked Mikey’s episode.

This one is too good for the wrong reasons. The writers crafted a fascinating universe and premise, populated by charismatic characters who intrigued me. And that’s the problem entirely, I should be stressing over wether Raphael will ever get home, but I find myself wondering how his new friends met and how long they’ve been racing together. What planets are they from? How did they get their bike? How long has the racing circuit been having problems with entrepreneurs trying to turn it into a mindless violent cash grab? Raphael is my all time favorite Turtle, character et all, and I don’t even care if he ever gets home because I’m being drawn into this world he fell into!

This episode reads more like the pilot for a spinoff series than a chapter in the saga of the Hamato brothers. Mind you, a spin-off I would have loved to have seen come to fruition. But such is life. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Someone remind the writing staff what show they’re working on please!

Hyperthyroidism part 1 of 2- what it is, symptoms, and diagnosis story

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the age of 15. Hyperthyroidism AKA over active thyroid is a condition where your thyroid produces too much thyroxine hormone. It is a manageable condition with medication which I take daily and I have regular appointments with my endocrinologist for this condition...left untreated or not regularly managed under the care of a doctor hyperthyroidism can cause very serious issues that can be fatal...the major ones include heart attack, stroke, and thyroid storm but let's talk about what happened leading up to the diagnosis...

When I was 15 I was in a residential treatment facility for Orthorexia and anorexia nervosa. It was difficult at first for me to actually get diagnosed because many of the symptoms I was experiencing mimicked symptoms of someone who has anorexia and Orthorexia & is either actively engaged in the unhealthy behaviors of these eating disorders or is going through the re-feeding process[which I was in that time]. The symptoms I was experiencing were rapid weight loss and extremely fast metabolism despite what I ate, over heating easily and often, high levels of anxiety, fidgety, antsy, need to be doing something constantly, irritable- lower than average tolerance to frustration/inconveniance/ annoyance ,hair loss, trembling in hands and fingers, fatigue, insomnia, my skin was always damp and clammy to the touch, I had issues with digestion...everything I ate went right through me very quickly so I was in the bathroom a lot, I was experiencing irregular heart beat [heart murmur], my stomach hurt pretty much constantly and I was forever bloated . So if you are reading this & you are not familiar with eating disorders and the effects of them and the effects of early recovery and re-feeding let me just tell you that almost every one of those symptoms could be attributed to eating disorders and re-feeding. All the professionals at the residential I was at understandably took my symptoms and complaints as part of my eating disorders, malnourishment and being early in to re-feeding. The problem was the symptoms continued, even got worse as time went on and I was losing more and more weight. I actually ended up being accused multiple times by the staff , my therapist, nutritionist and psychiatrist at the residential of secretly exercising while in treatment, purging, hiding food...doing something I was NOT supposed to be doing to cause my weight loss to continue....I was becoming thinner and sicker being treated for my eating disorders and it was absolute hell because ironically I was not engaging in any of the things I was being accused of but the treatment center still treated me as if I was...I was given a feeding tube, put on one to one observation with a staff member 24/7 which meant I had to be with a staff member no matter what...a staff had to watch me while I slept, while I ate, showered, used the bathroom, sat in group, walked down the hall etc. It went even further to where I was put on wheelchair restriction so I was not allowed to walk anymore to keep me from losing weight . None of that helped and I got worse - my blood work showed that my kidneys were not functioning properly, ekgs showed my heart murmur was getting worse- I was very weak, my neck and eyes looked puffy and swollen, my stomach pain increased and I was nauseous most of the time. The residential sent me to the hospital at this point and after 4 days in the hospital I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and put on medication. I spent 6 days total in the hospital and then went back to the residential treatment center. I have no underlying condition or disease that caused my hyperthyroidism and it is not something that is brought on by eating disorders...it is just something I developed. According to my doctors my hyperthyroidism is pretty severe which presents more risk of other complications mostly with my heart, my eyes, my bone density, and reproductive organs. It is a little worrisome because I already have heart problems and have already had a heart surgery. I already have the sort of precursor to osteoporosis known as osteopenia and my reproductive organs have long ago bit the dust [I am completely infertile/sterile] due to struggling with eating disorders from age 7 - age 15. On medications for my hyperthyroidism- my symptoms are less & much more manageable however there are things I have to avoid but that will be covered in part 2

My father informed me today that when I was very young I became convinced that my dad's father was the goblin king

Which according to me meant that obviously batman was dad's brother

and logically that then meant my dad and the children he grew up with in the group home/orphanage were all X-Men

I apparently would tell anyone who would listen this whole story and demand they agree with me😅 I have no recollection of this but it is a very creative story🤷

[catboygirling]

I swear I saw a tumblr post once saying that Desirée DeLite and Sebastian Debeste were siblings, but now that I'm actually trying to find it I think I confused it with a post that said that about Desirée and Matt Engarde somehow and I just made up the Sebastian part myself? anyway guys I just thought of the worst and most toxic family ever-

[moonshynecybin]

they were saying out at cota that they were thinking of building a track in knoxville that could potentially be a motogp track (fits with liberty loving usa races) and i donttt necessarily think more usa races are a GREAT idea. but that would kind of rule for me if i’m being honest.

Hyperthyroidism part 2 of 2

With hyperthyroidism there are certain things I have to be aware of in order to avoid causing a flare which could make me very sick for instance eating alot of fish and seafood like crab or lobster even though I love those foods they can cause my thyroid problems to act up worse. I have to keep my dairy, soy and gluten in take to a minimum as well as certain vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and spinach. I also have to really watch my salt intake. These are all things that could trigger worse problems and flare ups with my thyroid and potentially cause me some major health repercussions. Trying to just avoid dairy and gluten alone makes grocery shopping stressful sometimes and more expensive. The combination of hyperthyroidism and malabsorption syndrome makes it hard for my body to get essential nutrients and vitamins and this causes deficiencies, some of which can cause serious damage to my body and organs and if not caught and treated have real potential to kill me. This is why I get blood work and tests done regularly [most of the time once a week] because my potassium is a continuous concern along with my magnesium, iron, vitamin D, Calcium, and zinc. These are the nutrients, vitamins and minerals I seem to end up deficient of more often than not. Usually these deficiencies happen quickly and drop dangerously low fast for me which usually requires me to be admitted into the hospital. Some of the potential outcomes to these deficiencies are: heart attack, stroke, heart failure, breathing and lung problems, weakened immune system making a person more susceptible to infection and the inability to fight it off, cuts and wounds that do not heal, developing diabetes, kidney problems/failure, developing osteoporosis, loss of taste, loss of smell, & loss of eye sight. I would be a liar if I said these things don't scare me if I allow myself to think on them too long.

Another thing I have learned I have to do different because of hyperthyroidism is I have to consume a lot more food than most - especially since I play sports and dance and have a very active lifestyle in addition to having hyperthyroidism and malabsorption syndrome I burn off what I consume very quickly and my body has a difficult time absorbing the nutrients it needs so I eat about every 2 hours. I have to have nutritional supplement drinks prescribed by doctor multiple times a day. I also take a lot of vitamins and supplements I am prescribed.

By far the hardest thing I've had to learn to do is to be aware of how and what I feel physically. It's important for me to be able to recognize the signs in my body that could mean I am dealing with an extreme deficiency so I can get treatment. This ability is something extremely unnatural and sometimes distressing for someone like me because I prefer to live disconnected and disassociated from my body because of PTSD. My mind and emotions really hate being in my body but I have to remind myself that the alternative is potentially suffering a heart attack due to a potassium deficiency or some other deficiency and I could die. I have to choose the uncomfortable, unpleasant thoughts and emotions over disassociating from my body and putting my life at risk. It is a mentally and emotionally draining battle for me but it is worth it because I do enjoy living and there is a hell of a lot more of that to be done!
