#spina issues

[anftherapy]

Spinal stenosis occurs when the gaps between the vertebrae narrow, compressing the spinal canal and putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. 😣 This can lead to pain, weakness, or numbness, particularly in the legs and feet.

Three years ago I went no contact with my father. Yesterday we had to text him again because he still had me on his medical insurance and that was blocking me from getting my needed surgical removal of a broken tooth, and my spinal xrays for my Spina Bifida. He finally agreed to drop me from his insurance, which means I can finally get the medical help I need.

Having divorced parents is hard in so many areas, especially when one parents insurance is blocking the others. But I'm finally an adult, and he's finally dropping it.

I'm going to be free from his medical bullshit.

I'm going to be able to get help.

He can't stop me from getting help anymore.

I have to text him in the morning and make sure this actually goes through, but he agreed - and there's no reason for me to stay on his insurance. I'm 18, I don't live with him, and we have not talked in three years.

I'll update if this actually goes right, or badly.

There’s a video with a woman who has Elephantitis impacting her face, and it’s very obvious that she has a low quality of life. And it’s a combination of living somewhere very poor and very remote. The doctalking about the condition mentioned in passing that conditions like this don’t really have a chance to get that bad in the States—where he practices in—because people with similar conditions are treated much sooner.

And all the comments were people saying things like ‘if you can afford it I guess!’ and things like that. And it’s like, wow, we’ve really gotten to the point where the average American thinks that their quality of life and access to medical care is the same as people living with the lowest possible access to medical care.

I’ve seen the same thing when the topic is conditions that are rare in the States because of public health initiatives. There are so many issues in the States, but being able to benefit from many diseases and conditions being unheard of here is not one of those issues. Like, instead of recognizing ‘I don’t know a single family who’s been impacted by spina bífida or cleft lip’ it’s ’well I want you to know my life sucks.’

It’s so self centered and delusional

>> genshin x jinx reader

I love jinx in arcane, and I have this headcanon inside my head about what would happen if reader was similar to jinx from arcane. This is a small headcanon I thought

It's cringe I know, but I can't stop myself from a crossover . Might delete this later

I imagine the reader would be an infamous criminal or assassin working under a mob boss known as silco that found them after their sister abandoned them.

Silco is a Fontainian mob boss that is wanted by the Spina de russula for a long time.

He is very famous around the entire teyvat, previously a prisoner in the fortress meriopede. He sells a liquid known as shimmer towards across teyvat that might have the properties to turn any human into superhuman as well shimmer being one of the resources to forge delusion.

So silco have very large dealings with the fatui and other evil organizations in teyvat. And the reader being one of his bodyguards and doing his orders.

The reader would be very famous around the world as a notorious assassin as well being silcos child ( boy / girl ) and mad dog.

They are the ones that created the weapons in their fathers group. Known for them using bombs and guns as weapons they are a calamity

The reader has met the fatui Harbingers more than one time and by far they met was pantalone or dottore

When silco is busy with them, readers would sometimes wander around the building and if they find something they find interesting they would steal it technology, dottore blue prints and more.

They are also known for their inventions, some harbingers would try to manipulate them but by far the reader is very loyal towards to silco.

They left chaos and destruction everywhere they go, they even once blow up many fatui strong holds.

The reader is very loyal to silco no matter how good the deal is, they would forever be loyal towards the people they care about.

Diluc during his trip in finding the origins of the delusion, he would break in one of the shimmer production ware houses and encounter the reader. He manages to harm them and burn them but unfortunately has to leave because some of silcos minions started to come in and manage to leave with a lot of information.

Silco found the reader body chalk up, their other half looks like roast armin during his attempt on the colossal attempt. And this is how they get injected with shimmer.

After that they gained superhuman capabilities as well having their physical abilities enhanced greatly able to perform flash steps, Making them an even more menacing person.

The reader might have abandonment issues as well as PTSD, and have break downs sometimes and they hear voices and hallucinations.

Unlike their sibling who primarily uses their hands, they primarily use their legs in combat utilizing their speed and stamina outnumbering their enemies.

They possess great accuracy, known for their accuracy in shooting even moving things or shooting from miles away.

Childe would try to have spar with them and once Teucer found himself lost in the palace and come across reader, after childe find them Teucer was having fun with the reader and him saying that the reader save them.

happy pride! here's the fullbody refs for spina venatores <3 I still need to work on other stuff for their artfight profiles like their i2 illustrations and battle chibis but soon ..... s o o n ....

extras and rambles under the cut o7

reworked their manus fits from this old ref and tweaked the colors to make them more blue bc they looked SO purple on certain screens

venison has little to no changes, other than their scrapped i2 outfit, but its really funny how they have 3 fucking refs. 3 of them. plus a whole fucking obsolete i2 garment illustration

favoritism fucking SUCKS

mutton is pretty much exactly the way i pictured her so shes perfect and gave me zero issues <3. then there's chevon who is annoying and wants to exclusively dress up like some dramatic pirate/vampire but his fit reminds me so much of julian the arcana i cant get that out of my head.

poultry and veal are the ones who changed the most in their i2 garments, cause it hit me that poultry cannot be exclusively tied to vertin's team like venison and chevon on account of poultry being a human--she needs ties to the foundation or foundation adjacent groups like laplace to survive storms like ezra (laplace being the one organization she would love to join). but then it also hit me that she would not be allowed to join laplace THAT easily on account of. the horrors the crimes and whatnot, so for now she's on probation working as madam Z's assistant

the arrangement also works wonders bc veal is the one who has the most trouble graduating from the school of discipline, and spina venatores consists of ppl who Cannot Be Separated. so having the two somewhat close and still in touch is good <3 it prevents a lot of accidents. veal wears the foundation uniform just because they want to match with poultry

it also works bc venison's colors outside of manus are very similar to the foundation's palette, so i get to keep the visual dynamic between them, poultry and veal hehehoho

im STILL debating on how to organize their respective banners, since there's 5 characters instead of the usual 3. my brain is still trying to make their event coherent and its a mess in there AUGH. i could always make venison a limited character bc theyre my beloved blorbo. or make veal a limited character bc it would be very fuckign funny to have them randomly shapeshift into a different 6* that you own and just have that be their mechanic

i could also add aianteia to make the numbers even and have four 6* and two 5* but. then i would have to make refs for that bastard. and i dont have it in me. WHATEVER, I'LL FIGURE IT OUT!!!

[cripplecharacters]

had to shorten this a bit: What are some thoughts on able bodied people writing a character who becomes disabled through an accident? In this instance a person in a wheelchair. I understand that this is often a tried trope which focuses on the characters “misery of being in a wheelchair” or can devolve into inspiration porn where the person is “cured” Might this fall under the category of “this is a tired cliche Maybe don’t” or can it be done if it’s approached with care and well researched?

Hey!

I believe that it can be done, sometimes quite easily so. While it is somewhat of a trope, for some disabilities more than others, people do become disabled through accidents. That's just a fact, rather hard to argue with that.

The main issue is related to the fact that a lot of abled writers merge the accident - usually an at least unpleasant experience - and the disability into the same thing. As you said, it does often go into the "misery of having x disability or having to use z mobility aid" territory, which is a very tired trope.

I think that the easiest way you can avoid that is to not write about the process of getting used to suddenly being disabled. For example, maybe the accident was years ago, or it happened when they were too young to remember, maybe the traumatic scenario is not even described (it doesn't have to be, really - most people don't love just talking about them for the fun of it). So then the character is disabled through an accident, but you don't have to write about them getting used to the new changes - that's generally better left to disabled writers because it's often very nuanced territory.

The second, harder way would be just "get a sensitivity reader, and go from there". If you do want to write about the process, you need someone to help you with that, in my opinion at least.

Last thing would be that the "accident trope" is, at least in my experience, overrepresented in fiction about disability. This doesn't mean it doesn't have its place, of course, but disability is inherently diverse - most people don't get theirs due to accidents. It's basically always a good idea to add a second (or third, fourth, etc.) disabled character to have that diversity shown. For your character specifically, maybe they're a wheelchair user because of an accident, but they would almost definitely know more people like them and a lot of them would have different reasons for using it - maybe they could have spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, or rheumatoid arthritis, or polio, or a million other things. Especially someone who acquired their disability later in life would have community ties, because they would need to quickly learn to navigate a ton of new things, and you need to learn that from someone. Try to think of the community around them - it's a much better thing to focus on rather than just "misery from being disabled".

I hope this helps,

Anencephaly, major heart defects, major lung defects, trisomy 13, holoprosencephaly, hydranencephaly, renal agenesis, thanatophoric dysplasia, and triploidy. These aren't "disabilities" ; they are death sentences. You are for forcing women who find out a heart breaking truth to know for months they won't be able to have a baby. You are for forcing an infant into the world only to know torture and agony and pain.

You are a monster, full stop. This is not freedom, this is torture.

Allowing a mother to spend every moment she can with her dying child and also giving her the comfort that she did everything she could rather than the guilt of knowing she had her child killed - that’s what you think is torture?

No family should go through this alone, and there are great resources for perinatal hospice that should be made available to parents.

Also, the number of times doctors have been wrong about a diagnosis or survival chance…

Not to mention new options for correcting issues by performing surgery on a baby in utero to save lives:

Heart surgery for Trisomy 13 and 18, surgery for spina bifida, Renal Anhydramnios Fetal Therapy for renal agenesis, placenta-derived stem cell therapy for spinal bifida, just to name a few

My husband’s parents were told he wouldn’t survive. They were told to abort, and they refused. They planned to say goodbye to him in the hospital after he was born. All the family came. He was born, baptized by his grandpa, and rushed to surgery.

As you probably figured out, he survived (since he is now my husband). He has no lingering effects of the condition that doctors said would kill him, except that he only has one kidney (and doctors now say he has normal kidney function because his single kidney grew to compensate).

Doctors aren’t omniscient. Conditions that were death sentences 20 years ago are now treatable. New surgeries and procedures are constantly being developed.

We’re not going to sentence babies to death because a doctor says they’re going to die. Sorry not sorry.

some random clorivia hcs? 🥺

Oh my heavens aren't you just a sweetie, asking me about my fav Sapphic ship... I think about them so often, so this will be my PLEASURE. Clorivia headcanon dump, lets GOOOOO.

~This is the biggest one. Shorter Clorinde. Just a bit shorter, but its very obvious when Navia wears her tallest boots. Even as young girls, Navia was always just a few inches taller. Perfect for forehead kisses!

~During their childhood DND days, Clorinde first started out with a swashbuckler rogue character, but eventually preferred using a bard. Her instrument of choice was the lute. Navia would get a kick out of seeing Clorinde try to rizz up traders and shopkeepers with her bard-ish charm.

~Navia and Clorinde prefer tea and cakes, but on occasion, they'll share some cocktails or wine. Navia is a giggly drunk, but she can hold her drink better than any of the men in the Spina di Rosula. When Navia starts laughing at even the most unfunny statements, Clor knows its time to take her home. Clorinde on the other hand is a huge lightweight. She's very affectionate when she drinks, often forgetting about the rest of the world and starts babbling out lovely sweet nothings and risky touches that turn Navia as pink as a rainbow rose. After just one glass, Clorinde starts smiling like an idiot, asking Navia to sit on her lap.

~Clorinde and Navia love to exchange flowers with one another, even before they became romantic partners. Clorinde loves to leave flowers for Navia in private during their candlelight dinners, never getting tired of the infectious giggle and smile she is given in return. Navia prefers to gift the bouquets in public, especially at work or in front of friends. Clorinde blushes like crazy and puffs her cheeks up while everyone stares. (Navia knows what she's doing)

~While Clor does prefer more neutral/muted clothing when off the clock, she will rarely dress up when Navia asks her nicely. She even allowed Navia to drag her to Chiori's Boutique for a big poufy dress with ribbons and pearls. She only groaned just a little. (She secretly enjoyed it. Only that one time, though.)

~The whole "my lipstick would look good on you" thing is very much a love language between Clorinde and Navia. If someone pays very close attention, they would see the peachy pink blush that adorns Navia's round cheeks is sometimes very softly brushed over Clor's cheeks. At times, the familiar smell of Clorinde's cologne will fill the room, but instead it is Navia you find there instead. And Clorinde is often found fiddling with pearl earrings that look a lot like the ones Navia wore last week! Sharing is caring!

~Navia spent a lot of her childhood dancing with her father, balancing on his tip toes while rocking side to side. It got her in the habit of asking Clorinde to do the same. Tiny Navia would offer her hand like the gentlelady she is and Clorinde would accept awkwardly and they would share little girl tip toe dancing, but this time, Navia would lead, letting Clorinde use her feet to balance as she twirled them as her father taught her. Now as adults, the women still love dancing together, but in private, Navia tugs Clorinde onto her feet, letting the tired champion duelist wobble back and forth.

~Wriothesley was the first person Clorinde (accidentally) confessed her feelings for Navia to, after the "incident." The two spent a lot of time together and he could tell something was wrong, especially with how often Clor wanted to spar. He saw how she threw herself into the fights recklessly, leaving herself open with every turn. He pressed her on the issue mid-fight and thanks to adrenaline, exhaustion from the lack of sleep or maybe just grief, she blurted out her "unrequited" feelings for her childhood friend. The fight was quickly stopped and the talk was continued over tea. He's good at keeping secrets.

I have a lot, but this is getting kind of long! If you'd like more/a longer post, just let me know and I would be happy to ramble on about my dearest girls. Or if you'd like to ask for headcanons for another ship/character/platonic pairing, I'd love to write those too!

Thank you again for asking me, this was fun to write :)

When she fires, Navia will fire multiple Rosula Shardshots that can penetrate opponents, dealing Geo DMG. The more Rosula Shardshots that strike opponents, the greater the DMG dealt to them. Unleashing Navia's Elemental Skill will consume accumulated Crystal Shrapnel stacks, and the number of Rosula Shardshots and DMG dealt by "Ceremonial Crystalshot" will be increased based on the number of Crystal Shrapnel stacks. Hold the Elemental Skill to enter Aiming Mode and continually collect Elemental Shards nearby.

Starting from the first time that the Lunar Phase refreshes after updating to Version 4.3, the two Lunar Phases will be as follows:

Phase I:

Sturdy Moon

After a character obtains an Elemental Shard created by the Crystallize reaction, they will gain the Redoubtable state. Active characters in this state deal 15% increased DMG. This state lasts for 8s and can stack up to 3 times, with the duration of each stack counted independently.

Phase II:

Bursting Moon

After a character obtains an Elemental Shard created by the Crystallize reaction, it will be counted. When the count reaches 3, a shockwave will be released at the character's location, dealing True DMG to nearby opponents, and resetting the count. 1 such shockwave can be triggered every 6s.

〓Adjustments & Optimizations〓

● Enhancement Systems

Pop-ups will no longer appear when carrying out enhancements from the Character Leveling, Weapon Enhancement, and Artifact Enhancement screens. Enhancement information will be integrated into the original screen instead.

When previewing rewards for defeating Enemies of Note and bosses, Character Level-Up Materials will appear nearer to the front.

Each time you enhance a weapon, you can now consume up to 40 materials instead of just 20. You will also be able to select multiple Refinement Materials at the same time when refining weapons.

Adjusts the Weapon Refinement Mora consumption rules: When using a Weapon with a Refinement Level that isn't 1 for refining other Weapons, the amount of Mora consumed will be converted based on the Refinement Level (e.g. before the update, refining 4-star Weapons with an original Refinement Level of 1 would always cost 1,000 Mora, regardless of the Refinement Level of the Weapons being used as Refinement Materials. After the update, the amount of Mora required will be converted based on the Refinement Materials).

On the Character > Level Up screen, the speed of special effects when leveling up characters has been increased, and you can now use Auto Add to add sufficient Character EXP Materials to get the character up to the highest level they can currently reach with a single click.

● Artifacts

On the "Artifact Enhancement" screen, you can now add up to 15 Artifacts each time you enhance an Artifact.

The "Enhance to Next Tier" function has been added to the "Artifact Enhancement" screen: After this function is enabled, when there are still open slots to add Enhancement Materials but the current action will already cause the Artifact to reach Level 4/8/12/16, no more additional Enhancement Materials will be automatically added beyond those necessary to reach the next tier.

From the Paimon Menu > Settings > Other, you can choose whether or not 5-Star Artifacts can be auto-added as Artifact Enhancement Materials.

The filter function on the Inventory > Artifacts screen has been adjusted: Interactivity logic has been updated to support more filter conditions, as well as filtering multiple sets at the same time.

You can now select up to 3 affixes when sorting Artifacts (previously, you could only select a maximum of 2).

On the Crafting Bench's "Mystic Offering" screen, you can now add multiple Artifacts at the same time with a single click.

quite the bargain for you, i must say!

"Wow, a visit from the President of the Spina di Rosula herself. This business with the intergalactic pop star must be pretty important for you to set aside personal issues to come all the way down here. Why don't you join me for my afternoon tea and we'll discuss Miss Robin's freedom?"

(45 minutes later)

"... Long story short, you'll have to take it up with the court."

"Thanks for the twenty."

Watched some spiderman movies with my friends and I realized i can also make my own version of the villains, so here’s Doc Ock

Some small things about him:

-Was born with spina bifida, which was corrected with surgery but left him unable to walk

-He made the arms to assist him in his atomic research, but to also try a way to circumvent the issues in his spinal cord (it was a crapshoot idea that he figured wouldnt work, but he wanted to try anyways)

-as Doc Ock, he has a brace hold his legs together so theyre not dangling in risky positions

-Peter and Harry both fought over an internship position under him before he became evil, which peter ultimately got

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

Hello. I have been quite interested in human biology from a very young age and find Gallifreyan biology all the more interesting. Though this may be already an answered question, I am wondering about any possible genetic diseases that could be passed on since it is possible for a human and a Gallifreyan to reproduce. Is that possible, such as ones like Turner Syndrome (one of the two X chromosomes is absent or incomplete)? Or even degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis since the offspring is half human? The same is for congenital diseases as well, such as abnormalities present in utero due to exposures to various things like poisons and radiation. Such disorders can also be spina bifida, certain heart defects, and cerebral palsy. Also, some are recognized later in life, and other cases never.

Can Gallifreyan-Human hybrids inherit genetic diseases?

This is an intensely interesting question, and basically: yes, hybrids could inherit genetic diseases, but the details depend on the interplay between human and Gallifreyan DNA.

Reminder that hybrid biology is always based on theory/conjecture.

🧬 Triple Helix Meets Double Helix

Human DNA operates on a double helix structure with four nucleotides (A, T, C, G). Gallifreyan DNA adds an extra strand, incorporating three additional nucleotides—Lindartron, Chronine, and Psychine—to support their advanced biology, including regeneration, temporal perception, and psionics.

Blending these radically different genetic systems obviously creates both mind-blowing potential and a few logistical nightmares.

Key Outcomes of DNA Integration

1️⃣ Successful Integration: If the hybrid inherits a functional triple helix, it may possess most or all of the Gallifreyan traits. These traits could even offset some human genetic vulnerabilities.

2️⃣ Incomplete Integration: If the integration is flawed, hybrids could face sterility or a complete wash-out of important Gallifreyan traits.

🦠 Can Hybrids Inherit Genetic Diseases?

Yes. Hybrids can inherit genetic diseases. Whether these conditions manifest depends on how well Gallifreyan traits compensate—or don't.

1. Chromosomal Disorders (e.g., Turner Syndrome)

Cause: Missing or incomplete chromosomes.

In Hybrids: Gallifreyan DNA complexity could compensate for missing chromosomes, minimising some effects. However, if the hybrid's triple helix is unstable, symptoms like growth delays or infertility might still manifest.

2. Degenerative Diseases (e.g., Osteoporosis)

Cause: Progressive loss of bone density due to age or hormonal changes.

In Hybrids: Gallifreyan telomeres and lindartron-based repair systems could prevent or delay degenerative issues. However, hybrids leaning towards human physiology might experience late-onset symptoms.

3. Congenital Conditions (e.g., Spina Bifida, Heart Defects)

Cause: Developmental anomalies influenced by genetic or environmental factors.

In Hybrids: Minor anomalies may self-repair in utero via Gallifreyan regenerative abilities. Severe defects, however, might persist, particularly if human DNA interferes with Gallifreyan systems. Temporal anomalies during gestation could complicate things further—time-sensitive foetuses are a lot to handle.

⚠️ Who's Carrying It?

Whether the pregnancy happens in a human or Gallifreyan parent makes a world of difference:

1. Human-Carried Hybrid

🫄Gestation Period: Likely to follow human norms (~9 months) due to the human body's biological clock.

🔀Complications: The human immune system might react unpredictably to Gallifreyan DNA, potentially leading to inflammation, preterm labour, or even complete immune rejection.

👶Symptoms: Wild cravings (the foetus is more demanding than a human), temporal sensitivity, occasional bursts of healing energy, and other alien quirks.

⚠️Risks: Human biology may struggle to provide the ideal environment for triple-helix development, increasing the likelihood of incomplete integration or congenital anomalies.

2. Gallifreyan-Carried Hybrid

🫄Gestation Period: Likely extended (~1 year) to accommodate the complex integration of human DNA into Gallifreyan systems.

➕Advantages: Gallifreyan biology's superior resilience would shield the foetus from many environmental risks, like radiation or toxins.

⚠️Challenges: The presence of human DNA might introduce anomalies, like difficulties in metabolic regulation or disruptions to the carrier's usual physiological stability.

⭐Unique Feature: Gallifreyan parents could form a telepathic bond with the foetus, which might help manage early anomalies and discomfort. Plus, prenatal chats sound fun.

🩺 Managing Genetic Risks in Hybrids

There are several tools to mitigate risks:

1️⃣ Genetic Editing: Advanced technology could repair faulty DNA sequences during early development, ensuring triple-helix stability and preventing congenital issues.

2️⃣ Regenerative Medicine: Techniques like cellular manipulation and gene therapy could address anomalies in utero or after birth.

3️⃣ Regeneration: For severe conditions, regeneration might offer a full "reset." But regeneration isn't a catch-all—it's no use if the DNA is fundamentally flawed, and hybrids can't regenerate safely until at least their late teens anyway.

🏫 So …

Yes, Gallifreyan-human hybrids can inherit genetic diseases. How badly it goes depends on how well their triple helix DNA plays nice with its human counterpart. Gallifreyan resilience might soften the blow—or even delay symptoms—but congenital anomalies and environmental factors are still out there.
