crafting updates will resume soon! I had a bit of a health. thing. but I’ve got a tiny crocheted dinosaur almost done (I do not know what exactly the health thing was, except that I messed up my hip a bit, but I think I might’ve had an adrenal issue flareup *without* an allergy flareup, which is something that’s never happened to me before? I’m okay now) edit: I realized I did not put the warning in the notes, but I please, please do not take my salt issues as a normal baseline. The amount of salt I have in a day is at best ill-advised and at worst actively harmful unless you have similar health problems that require huge amounts of salt

#the person behind the yarn #normally all my issues are at least 50% allergies #but it was just...very high (for me) heart rate when I tried to stretch out my hip #and then my knees buckled #and 'heart messing up to the point I fall down' is time for more meds #so I took an extra dose of my 'blood pressure go up' meds and several salt pills #and it did lower my heart rate!#it just also lowered my blood pressure #like. a lot. which is exactly the opposite of what's supposed to happen #blood pressure go up medicine (aka fludrocortisone) is as the name suggests #supposed to raise my blood pressure (by means of raising my salt levels and therefore my blood volume)#not to mention the uh close to 4 grams of sodium in an afternoon? but no!#blood pressure would not go up! so I got zero crafting done yesterday
