real talk having the 2nd worst new years eve yet 🤢🤢🤢 (throat infection, twisted neck, banged-about-foot, ego AND the rest o' me all bruised like misjuggled peaches 🍑🍑🍑)
im bent outa shape and suspectin the universe owes me 8 buck if anyone wannsa chip in
#yes the 🍑🍑🍑was just an excuse to shove ass emojis in your face i'm only (occasionally. allegedly) human#now ask me about my FIRST worst new year eve. it involves wizards and portals and elaborate lies i make up on the spot#SAD REAL TALK <STARTS>:#also made the mistake of reaching out to my mom post-xmas#like what kind of c-ptsd NOOB does that. what kinda chronic holiday trauma survivor NOVICE??? embarrassing#THE SEDUCTIVE FALSE HOPE OF NOSTALGIA WILL LURE YOU IN EVERY TIME#'oh but maybe they won't disappoint me. but maybe they won't rip my heart out this time'#sweetheart that's your dear sweet inner child's yearning for what never was or will be. BEAT IT BACK WITH A STICK!#SAD REAL TALK <ENDS>#....back to that part where i talked about being bent out of shape#if anyone w/ metalwork skills wants ta take a blowtorch & hammer & tongs & have at... I'm open to experimentation is all im sayin#in lieu of that i would also welcome someone buying me a sandwich. i am. so sore.#(metaphysically sore but also the other more urgent im-at-my-daily-NSAIDs-limit kinda sore)#(hence: sanwimch)#...i got so sleepy writing this i started imagining the astonishing hedonism#of stroking a freshly grilled cheese-dripping sandwhich across my body like a loofah#the soothingness of the gooey warm near liquid cheese. the vaguely spongelike quality of toasted sourdough slice.#look i didn't imagine it on PURPOSE it just came to me like a vision like a threat#like one of those weird mens locker room ads where the sportsball is watermelon??? u know the one#where there's nudity & food & homoerotica & hot steaming showers in the background and STILL the overall effect is more offputting than sex#look i have a throat infection. i can barely swallow. i'm sipping chocolate milk to survive and i'm NOT EVEN ENJOYING IT. each drop is agon#(opposite side of the Tantalus spectrum but i'm suffering more than he has in 3.5 thousand years)#i'm dehydrated. barely conscious. electrolytes are circling down the drain. doctors should be incubating me w/ capri sun straws right now.#I GET A PASS ON THESE TAGS#i don't know what i wrote! and i don't stand by it! and you can't make me read em!!!

hi I just wanna say your hypermobile Nico hcs helped me realize I have EDS so thank you!
Oh yay! EDS can be difficult to identify so I'm glad it helped you figure that out! :D And my condolences to your joints
#ask#foxy-not-pirate#dont be me - drink enough water/get enough electrolytes and take your meds#EDS can fuck with your absorption of stuff cause of the GI problems and trust me it SUCKS to end up in the ER from dehydration#despite drinking enough water just cause your body said ''nah''#also if you feel like you might need mobility aids DO IT DO IT GO FOR IT. OH MY GOD IT MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER#DO NOT WAIT CAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN ''TOUGH IT OUT'' OR ''ITS NOT THAT BAD'' EDS can literally give you arthritis#i've had arthritis since MIDDLE SCHOOL and oh my god canes and crutches and wheelchairs and scooters are BEAUTIFUL#I WILL HAPPILY GIVE CRUTCH RECOMMENDATIONS mine are AWESOME#if you have instability in your wrists/hands i also highly recommend compression gloves and tennis wristbands#compression gear my beloved i need an exoskeleton#okay that is my ramble. well wishes my friend

Hey y'all I am still working on the goat in a dress but am delayed by a POTS flareup so I will not be working on it more until tomorrow I forgot asparagus is a diuretic. Again. lol
(for anyone reading this with no context for why that matters, I have both POTS and salt wasting syndrome and am on medication that is literally the opposite of a diuretic to help keep my blood pressure up. Eating a bunch of asparagus kind of temporarily undid that effect and I am very tired but fine, and I'll be back to normal in the morning)
#the person behind the yarn#food mention#I am okay I am just way tired#I took some salt pills and they are starting to kick in but oh boy that was not fun#I think asparagus is one of those things like salt that for most people it won't cause a noticeable affect to your blood pressure#like. most peoples' bodies are really good at maintaining homeostasis#mine is an outlier and should not have been counted#ESPECIALLY when it comes to electrolytes and water I am SO BAD at regulating those#I mean I say that like I have any control over it?? but also there's not really a better way to word that#I stay hydrated take my meds take salt pills as needed#but that does not stop the fact that my body is bad at salt and water lol

“oh if you have pots make sure you have extra salt” fun fact if you put too much salt in your drink your body will expel all the water. apparently salt water cleanses are a thing. i didn’t know that until today. and then you’ll be even more dehydrated. ask me how i found out.
#I AM NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME.#I put extra salt in my electrolytes!! because I’ve been having worse symptoms than normal. or just a worsening of symptoms but whatevs#and I was like ‘oh I’ll just add extra salt because i have a huge cup that holds a fuck ton of water so it’ll be fine’#and it was super salty but I’m not a quitter so i drank the whole thing#bad idea!!#pots

the nhs loves to gradually publish every single one of your blood test results over the span of a weekend except for your egfr. this is because they are evil tormentors <3
#:)#literally keep getting another result and it's like. oh my blood count my hemoglobin my iron levels my electrolytes#like wrdgaf because the only one that matters is the egfr!!!#i desperately need to know if the kidney damage done by the biopsy has stabilized yet or if i'm actually fucked lmao#oh but on the upside i'm officially no longer anemic because the hormone injections worked way better on me than expected ^_^#they were supposed to keep my hemoglobin at a steady mild anemia level at best#instead i'm now firmly at the lower end of the healthy range. if you care <3#i also need the results in because once they come in that means i get two whole weeks where they leave me alone#which will be the first and longest stretch of time i've not been ferried to a hospital all year#need this transplant to take place sooner rather than later because i think i'm gonna end up losing my mind#oomfies please never get kidney failure it's the fucking psychological abuse trenches out here!

save do you have any tips for managing migraines
uhhhhhh lessee
personally i have prescriptions for it cause mine screwed my brain up but obvious ones like proper rest + maybe log what you eat and see if theres any correlation + general put nutrients in your body stuff which is actually kind of hard to keep track of
i have some REALLY WEIRD scent based triggers so i have to stay away from ammonia-like scents and eucalyptus cause those will put my ass out flat IMMEDIATELY, thats not an everyone thing but maybe note if theres sensory stuff around you that might be a trigger
for me warm toned lights and screen tints are way better than cool tones/white light and if youve got light colored eyes wear amber tinted sunglasses outdoors
water + salty snack > pedialite > gatorade and depending on caffeine sensitivity maybe moderate that cause it can either help or hurt, kinda depends on the person, but water and saltines will get you electrolytes and its cheap as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck even if it doesnt taste as great as gatorade
sunlight on your skin and not in your eyeballs
also vitamin d just in general helps but its way better to actually use the sun for that than trying to digest it so like just 10ish minutes in the sun is what my neurologist recommended on top of taking 2000mg tablets
thats what ive got off the top of my head
#im not a neurologist but i dont get them as bad anymore at least#also if learning what you feel like beforehand so you can nip it before it starts helps a LOT#if you can take a painkiller before it starts itll do way more for you#but also dont undertreat it like dont stick it out thats what fucked me up hardcore just take the painkiller#i have to take at least 800mg of ibuprofen if i even sniff a migraine coming on but check with a doc before you do that#i also gotta pair it with sumatriptan and i can only do that 3 times a month Or Else#if ibuprofen doesnt knock it outta me its an er trip and they stuff an iv in me and pump my ass so full of drugs#oh also too much water can also cause migraines#best to stick with the 8 8oz a day thing and not go too far over#but yeah being proactive and preventative is better than coasting and treating them when they come#sometimes ill sip a little pickle juice causenits got magnesium and potassium on top of the sodium for electrolytes#i know food logs arent GREAT but they can help with stuff like this even just kinda checking in on if youre getting everything you need#i go sorta peasant with it like as long as ive had a couple greens in a week i should be good to go#snap peas or artichoke hearts or other really solid veggables#or#god bless#The Cucumber#cucumbers are the powerhouse of the vegatable

i actually feel as though i am going insane bc i need to do TOMORROWS commissions to get the last story key for kaeya’s story quest because i was an IDIOT and and DIDNT
and now i feel like i’m full of BEES
PLUS. IM GOING ON A TRIP.TOMORROW
so i’m waking up early and doing my commissions and then a story quest bc i’ll be damned if i have to wait three more fucking days to see my favorite traumatized blue haired man
#my sister saw me yesterday when his story quest came out#and i realized i didn’t have enough keys#and i was fucking FUMING#and she was like “(name) you need to calm down” and i was like#“oh im SO FUCKING CALM RN you don’t even KNOW” while grinding my teeth and doing my commissions#i’m actually so upset why tf did i just ASSUME i would have enough story keys#i’m inconsolable#if i get spoilers i’m gonna be putting Diluc In Snezhnaya as the first thing on my kin list (that doesn’t exist)#but at the same time. i want to know so bad#my sister and i were arriving back at home and i was telling her how ME of all people is gonna wake up early#and do my commissions and the quests#and she was like “yeah i was on the hoyolab website earlier and saw a screenshot that i thought you might like”#and i was like “hokyfuckisng SHIT did it. okay answer me one questions. did he talk about—“#“yes he said The D Word” and i literally said YIPPEE and jumped for joy#we were arriving home at the time and i fucking. skipped across our driveway#and i’ve been in a haze ever since#i feel like i’m. like my blood has been replaced by pure electrolytes. and like im#gonna explode if i don’t DO SOMETHING to occupy my time#was doing my commissions earlier and kaeya’s always on my team (ofc) but i heard one of his idle lines and i#went into such a fit of despair bc it reminded me of how i couldn’t do his story quest yet#DUE TO MY OWN DUMBASS CHOICES#that i. had to take him off my team for the day#AND THEN TWO KF MY COMMISSIONS WERE RIGHT BY DAWN WINERY#LIKE. GENSHIN JS REALKY FUCKING ME OVER HUH#why don’t they just spit in my face and stomp me into the ground i think it would feel better than THIS

i used to go to the gym before work instead of after bc once im home after work i dont wanna go anywhere, but then i canceled my membership and got a treadmill, and it took me the better part of a year to realize that now i can work out after work bc i dont have to go anywhere. now im turning into an at home gym rat its wild.
#i bought protein powder yesterday#well i was just gonna get electrolytes but then i remembered that one video#w the guy eating junk after his workout and his body is like what are we supposed to build the new muscles with#so i was like. maybe i will try protein also (it does have electrolytes)#pointless post#oh bonus my brother isnt home for hours after i am. in the morning im always worried my loud ass treadmill will wake him up lol

I got a free LMNT box??? free salt and electrolyte water supplement packets for nothing??? It’s a big box too wtf. it isn’t a mistake either I emailed them and they told me straight up it was a gift to everyone that’s bought the big box. holy fuck
#I bought the same size box for myself as a Christmas gift last December for like $100. I got one for free???#so I got another $100 priced box for FREE???#I don’t care what flavor is in there I’m drinking it all holy damn#this shit has been an enormous help for my disability so this is insane#only downside is that it takes a bit to figure out the salt level. and also they use stevia which I can taste and don’t care for much#but oh well I got a free damn box of it so it’s getting used!!!#maybe I’ll intersperse it with another type of electrolyte/salt water supplement so I don’t get sick of this one

Why are there always new symptoms showing up?? I just want a fucking break ;-;
#hello and on todays episode of wtf is wrong with resident hypochondriac opossum#i think maybe im extremely dehydrated and cant absorb fluids properly from drinking them (i think this for a variety of reasons)#and its starting to become very concerning and i think i need iv fluids like asap but i have no insurance#and also if i did theyd think i was crazy and not treat me condescend me and possible even admit me to inpatient msntal health#also having severe pain in my throat spreading to my skull that feels like someone jabbing me from the inside#which could be a sign of a compressed nerve so that fun /s#jesus christ im so tired i need a break i need this to stop#the pain alone is making me dizzy#and making me sweat which is dehydrating me more#ive tried everything i can think of and nothings working#i drink plenty ive cut out caffiene before i drink electrolyte drinks i make sure i eat enough salt etc etc#and its NEVER enough#oh yeah cant forget the compression socks and two different meds i tried to help me not pass put#guess what they didnt work either#and now im worried that my dehydration might be causing my hallucinations because they arent typical for psychosis#and maybe even my seizures which is really really bad#like i could go into a coma and die if i continue this way bad#but like that cant possibly be whats going on right? surely im just exaggerating because of anxiety#theres no way itd be that bad#my gf is basically a doctor and she would've done something by now if it was that bad#but hhh#why do i feel like this#why else do my hallucinations get worse whenever i sweat or exercise#why else do i have an extremely fast heart rate and fainting and im thirsty all the time but the second i drink i have to go pee already
