Hey y’all! Can you please send me pictures of your favorite animals? I am stressing out about all -ologists I’ll be going to over the next few months and could really use a distraction. On the one hand, I am grateful I can see these doctors, and that my new PCP is taking my health issues seriously and referring me to specialists. On the other, I have been caught in a never ending merry go round of specialists for more than a decade. I am tired. I never get answers, they always just take money and refer me to a new specialist in a loop, and the latest loop has led to the discovery that I am allergic to neurologists. So...please send me pictures of your favorite animals (for plushie inspiration, and also just because animals are adorable)

#the person behind the yarn #health mention #medical mention #I'm exaggerating about the neurologist allergy but only a little #the adhesive used for EEGs is a major asthma trigger for me #my rescheduled appointment is next week so we'll see if I am allergic to the office in general?#I hate going to a new endocrinologist #they always want to test me for fucking pheochromocytomas #despite the fact that A. I have a family history and symptoms of Addison's #and B. Addison's is a lot more common than pheochromocytomas #and C. I TEST ON THE RANGE TO HAVE ADDISONS #but no! that's not enough for a diagnosis with Addison's!#gotta test for the damn pheochromocytomas again!#I have been tested for that five fucking times and I have to come off of my meds every time #the first three times I had to come off my meds for a week but I got so sick they switched it to being only off them for a day #but that STILL makes me sick every time #I don't have a pheochromocytoma. In fact I have the opposite of the symptoms of a pheochromocytoma #in that one of the main symptoms is HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE #and I always always test negative but hey! better check again!
