#symptoms of vitamin deficiency

[katmaibearfan]

a personal update

i've been having some Mystery Health Issues for the last month or so, and one of the main symptoms i have been getting is extreme fatigue. in addition, there's some other life stuff happening which, with the fatigue i have been having, has been pushing me very close to (and sometimes over) my limits.

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to hopefully start getting some answers about what's going on, but that will almost certainly take me out for the whole day, between travel and bloodwork and such. in addition, my father-in-law and his girlfriend are visiting this weekend, which will take up a lot of my time and energy as well.

this is mostly just my exhausted-and-rambley way of saying that i wish i was posting more than i can right now. while i was hoping to use the month of august to get those ID and Lore posts out (since many of the bears go on walkabouts this time of year, action slows down on the cams), i think its very likely that these life events and health issues will be taking the majority of my time for the foreseeable future.

to be clear, i will still be posting here when i can! its just that i will probably not be able to as frequently as i would like for a while. hopefully these health problems are easily diagnosable and easily treated, and i can get back to spamming y'all's dashboards with brown bears sooner rather than later.

i hate that i've been so sick recently :( i wake up tired and sore every day and there's just a bunch of seemingly small health issues that just all add up together and it's freaking me out so much. i went and got my blood tests done yesterday and i've got a doctor's appointment next week so i really, really, REALLY hope i get some answers and not just another, hmmm, weeeell 🤷🏻‍♀️ from my doctor. i'm supposed to be moving overseas with my wife next year so i literally NEED to get better. is wishful thinking enough to heal me?? i wish it was 😢

My team lead: It’s all you today! Work like the dickens!

Me: Do you have any idea how tired I am?

My team lead: It doesn’t matter! *big smile*

Me: …

My team lead: I just barely got my tree up, I haven’t wrapped anything yet, there’s lots of work to do tonight! *walks off*

Me: … I want to kill myself.

Masterlist

Significant neurological damage, likely due to repeated concussions, predominately impacting balance and grip strength

Deficiencies in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, calcium, chloride, iron, and potassium

Severe deficiencies in iron and vitamin D

Psychological symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Further testing recommended.

Ema hates this.

She was supposed to feel better once she got away. That was supposed to fix it. Getting away was so so hard, and it's not even over?

Ema hates this.

"It's not so bad." Tom says. "It could be worse."

That's not very helpful. "Neurological damage doesn't go away. I'm going to have this for the rest of my life."

"Well... yeah, but now we know. I should've noticed earlier, it was obvious. I can't believe I didn't notice..."

Tom sounds annoyed. Ema tucks her knees under her chin.

"It'll get better. I think it would help to do some physical therapy. And psychological therapy. And the vitamin and mineral deficiencies, that's easy! I mean it sucks that we didn't know before, but we know now. Oh, we should also take you to a dentist. What's wrong?"

Ema is ineffectively trying to blink back tears. "I thought I was going to be okay. I thought it was over." "But this is good! These things were wrong before, but now that we know about them we can fix them or make them better. Wouldn't it be worse if all those symptoms of deficiencies and damage and stuff were just how things were going to be for the rest of your life?"

Ema hates this. "I don't- I can't-" She takes a shuddering breath, afraid she'll start crying if she tries to talk more.

"It's okay. You're okay. I really think you should see a therapist though. I... don't know what to say to help you feel better."

Ema grips her hair tightly. She hates this, she hates this so much. "I don't want to go to therapy! I don't want to talk about it! I want it to be over!"

"I- I don't know- Ema, it's okay."

Ema is sobbing in earnest and Tom is getting annoyed with her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"You didn't do anything wrong. I just- I'm not good at this!"

He's mad at her he's mad at her-

"I- I think I'm making this worse, so I'm going to- to go. And then when you're feeling better we can talk about how I can, like, help you the next time you feel this way, okay?"

Tom waits for her to answer, but leaves when she doesn't, and Ema doesn't stop him. He's just in the other room, but it does help Ema feel better, which makes her feel a bit guilty. It's just easier when she can focus on calming herself down instead of trying to calm Tom down.

She feels so pathetic. She's been crying more since she escaped than she ever did in captivity.

Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap.

She's safe. She's okay. And Tom is right, now she knows some ways to feel better. She shouldn't feel this way.

When Ema's crying has slowed to only an occasional sniffle, Tom comes back.

"Are you okay? Are you- did that help? It seems like it helped, for me to leave, but I felt really bad for just... leaving you, while you were upset."

"It helped. I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Tom doesn't sound annoyed. Just... sad.

"I... don't think there's anything you can do, if that happens again. I don't know why I started crying. Everything you said was right."

"Well, someone can be right and still be a dick."

"You weren't being a dick."

Tom is quiet for a moment. "You started crying when I brought up therapy. Should I... not bring that up?"

"No, you can bring it up. I don't know why it freaked me out."

"You said you don't want to talk about what happened. Does the idea of therapy make you feel stressed? You don't have to talk about the past at all with a therapist if you don't want to. I mean, you probably will eventually, but not until you feel comfortable with it. A good therapist will respect your wishes." Tap tap tap. "I don't know. I guess. I just want it to be over. I want to never think about it again."

"I... don't think that's possible."

Ema buries her face in her hands and sobs.

"Would it help if I touched you? Like, gave you a hug or something. Or would you rather not be touched?"

"Please don't touch me."

"Okay. So I know some things that don't help now, at least. Um... so, do you want to try therapy? Helping people find therapists is something I'm good at. You wouldn't have to talk about anything you didn't want to. And hey, I'm not a therapist, maybe I'm wrong that you'll have to think about it. Maybe a therapist can teach you how to not think about it. I don't know."

"I think... I've been emotional because of the deficiencies. I want to try getting more of those vitamins and stuff in, and maybe try physical therapy, and then see how I feel."

"I think you're going to need therapy no matter what. You've been through a lot."

Ema starts to tear up again.

"But... it can wait. I don't like to put these things off, but... this isn't about me. I don't know a lot about therapy, but I know that it doesn't work very well if you feel forced into it."

"...Thank you."

"Do you want help making a meal plan? To get the vitamins you need in? And I can look into what supplements you should be taking, that stuff's all unregulated so I don't think you just grab the first thing that says vitamin supplement, y'know?"

That... sounds nice. Not having to do it herself sounds nice. "I would like that."
