“All eyes on me”

This art is my visualization of my own anxiety symptoms

[octobercowboy]

it’s me and this nerve pain against the world

[chronicallyjude]

Really wish doctors cared about undiagnosed chronic health issues, they might be tired of trying to figure out what's wrong with me but imagine how sick of this I am.

Me: Can you grab my water bottle? my legs ain't working, dude

Sister: Did you try turning them off and on again

Ah I've been meaning to make a post about this for a while but those of us with uneven eyes like strabismus and my nerve damage, the manga and anime that's currently popular, Dungeon Meshi, has a character with uneven eyes!

His uneven eyes aren't a visual short hand for being dumb or the usual nonsense we see when we see portrayals of characters with uneven eyes. He's very talented and good at what he does!

Anyway I'm very excited about this lad. Representation matters and I feel a little better about my uneven face.

Make sure you are periodically checking areas that you have nerve damage/little feeling in. A sore or an infection can get dangerous pretty quickly if it is already severe once you notice it. Catching it early is key!

Day 2 with a completely useless and gory looking hand: I'm staying at my cousin's place and imagining I am Kevin post Riko hand beat down at Wymack's apartment.

I am looking pained out the windows. I'm laying in bed in pain. I'm sipping liquid IV like I am a child being spoonfed broth.

Only things keeping me sane tbh.

I was suffering today, so Sky gets to suffer, too.

500+ words of self indulgent Sky suffering 🙈

Might delete later…

Big family meals and food holidays are hard for me because of my tremors and dyspraxia.

So shout out to people with tremors, motor disorders and coordination disorders, muscle weakness and nerve damage in hands and face, people with dysphagia.

We deserve a good holiday too, even if we're not talked about often

Probably the most devastating thing about my hand mobility decreasing at an exponential rate over the past year isn't that I can't draw. It's not that I can hardly write. It's not that I can't wash my hair without aid. It's not that I can't paint my own nails. It's not that I'm struggling with hand sewing.

It's that my dream of playing the bass can never and will never come true.

I'll never be able to be part of a band and be the sexy bass player, I'll never be the guy to have a bass on my wall that's covered in stickers and we'll loved, I'll never be able to collect my picks and have a little collection. If I'm every part of a band, I'll be the singer, and my jaw can't do that shit anymore.

Having trigeminal neuralgia which is called the suicide disease being almost the most painful pain to humans, and having anesthesia dolorosa on top and it being WORSE than that.

Says enough about how painful and how heavy it is unfortunately..

Sometimes I don't even realize it myself.

Fucking FINALLY

I made an appointment with the asshole spine doctor because my pain has gotten a lot worse

This time, he actually listened to me, but this shit could have been properly diagnosed like a month ago but he didn’t bother to read the damn radiology report

Today I got even more xrays and he finally acknowledged that I have spondylolisthesis

I got an MRI because of sudden nerve pain (which may be CRPS) and worsening chronic pain, but I’ll get the results in a couple days

Why does it take so fucking long for doctors to listen to their patients

[jawd]

some days it feels like there are stretched rubber bands in my hand and fingers that are pulled tight where my tendons should be. and im straining against them trying to move my hand how i want but i cant

[aguineapigcouldntdothis]

if you have any kind of sensory nerve damage here's a reminder to check those areas for injuries.

It can be super easy to miss an infected cut, ingrown nail, etc. when you can't feel it/can barely feel it

Even if you still have partial feeling please check! idk abt anyone else but sometimes i forget how little feeling i truly have in my legs bc im just so used to it.

If you are not able to check on your own bc of a disability, inability to see the area (such as nerve damage on your back) then ask a friend, lover, caregiver, etc. to do it. or use a mirror.

Also if you just got a tattoo or piercing in that area then please check it daily for signs of infection. which everyone should be doing anyway but do it even more if you have sensory nerve damage.

Hopefully any injuries you see will be minor cuts and bruises (or none at all) but still very important to check!

Have to wear a full wrist brace at night now cause of my carpal tunnel (kept waking up with numb hands) and it feels better on my wrist but impossible to blog in lol
