does fourteen play videogames with the noble family
I feel like no one in the house is much more than a casual gamer, but Fourteen will occasionally pick a system out of That Box (you know, the cardboard one nearly every family has stashed in a closet or garage with all those out-of-date electronics) and fix it up. It started one day when he was bored and eyeballing the blender, and Donna found Rose’s old Nintendo DS in a drawer and told them there was a game on it where you could just play with cute dogs, if they could get it working. It keeps their hands busy, and it’s good fun for everyone when random old games get dusted off.
#what’s fourteen up to#fourteenth doctor#I’m sorry I know next to nothing about games and gaming systems#I feel like Shaun maybe plays that fifa game#and rose goes through phases for things like animal crossing#but they’ve never really been a huge gamer family bc they couldn’t necessarily afford it#so like they’ve got a handful of things like the old DS#but most were either used or gotten when they were already a bit out of date#does this concept make sense?#I’m trying to explain it on NyQuil#I feel like y’all know what I’m talking about#that box where your Nintendo Wii is#you know the one#it’s probably got your old pc disc games in it too#it’s where your copy of the OG simms or Zoo Tycoon is

doctor confirmed that 👉 this guy 👈 got pcos and i just got an implant to at the very least get my whacky periods under control and hopefully get them to stop entirely
#i also have thought about how i was cared for today#i go to a free place that has rotating doctors so i didnt see the same one that told me to get a ultrasound of my ovaries + blood test#previous one was a cis woman and she insisted me having multiple cysts on my ovary (that was double in size to the other one) wasnt enough#(for a pcos diagnosis) so she insisted i redo my blood test on the 2nd day of my period#which i didnt realise at the time is dumb as hell cause my periods are so chaotic im not even sure when they start and when they stop#the doc i saw today was a trans doctor (using iel in french! love to see it) and after i explained my situation was like#well theres no point to check your hormones here since we dont have a point of reference#and your ultrasound shows you have multiple cysts in your ovary so thats pcos#then explained to me what that does to your body & all that its not dangerous per say but its good to monitor and take hormones to help#and i said i was already considering the implant to stop my periods and they said that can be arranged today#told me the other alternatives and the risks associated with the implant but tbh my choice was already made#i mean of course idk how much cisness and transness has anything to do with this#but i had seen another cis doctor about my periods being whack when they started being whack#and he did an ultrasound saw nothing and was like “well nothing wrong with you” and that was the end of it#i definitely felt more comfortable and better cared for in the hands of a peer#(also i had to try three pharmacy to get the implant cause the other ones were out of it#walked way more today than planned but good day regardless!)

Update on ability to write! My arm is still fucked, doctor and surgeon confirm it's fucked, but it's probably fixable so I'm getting surgery in the next few weeks (still have to schedule). It should be a 4-6 week recovery so won't be able to really write until the end so at least 2 more months but! Getting there!
#the first doctor was soooo funny trying to delicately explain my arm was fucked#tryinf to be like this is the sort of thing we might call severe#second doctor was just straight up like yeah your arm is bad like really bad likr not the worst it COULD be but bad#both agree on surgery so woo#lifes life

there is really something cruel and strange and fucked up about switching between thinking youre the center of the universe and thinking youre completely invisible 50 fuckin times a day. like do you have a god complex or an inferiority complex make up your mind
#the mental illness strikes again#yeah its that and like this crippling lonliness that has had me in a chokehold#pov you open the same 3 apps over and over again on repeat all day trying to see if anyone has messaged you or interacted with you at all#then you realize oh wait yeah. they all have lives and you dont. yeah that explains it#then you self loathe and pity for a bit and repeat the cycle#mad pathetic#and on top of that youre too fuckin sensitive so you take it all personal#even stupid jokes. yeah that stupid joke it hurt my feelings and for no reason at all#im not even really sad right now its just. so painfully frustrating that this has to be the normal for me#no matter how many times i seek help for it i get blown off#not to mention im *still* fucked up over not being able to go to the one person i relied on to help me when i was mentally unwell#though ive tried#but bringing up being mentally unwell gets me a sad face emoticon at best#and bringing up being physically unwell and that ive had to go to multiple doctors over the past few months is just. completely ignored#oh well#i am completely over that person but that doesnt mean getting ignored doesnt fucking hurt#anyways

the way tumblr talks about medicine makes me wonder how many of us here actually have critical thinking skills
#stop trying to explain shit you know nothing about so you can frame it negatively for clout!!!! literally knock it off!!!#there are so many valid opinions but i don’t understand this and therefore it’s bad “ is NOT one of them actually#fuck it’s far from perfect but seeing people talk about people I work with every day as if they’re monsters is honestly so tiring#it’s just all over my dash#if you read something and it confuses you and that makes you angry#the solution is NOT to make a tumblr post flaming it with all of your misinformation and undereducated opinions#“it is batshit to base dx criteria on statistics “ NO IT IS NOT NO IT IS NOT NO IT IS NOT ARE YOU STUPID???????#THIS IS STEM LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS MATH WHAT THE HELL DO YOU M E A N ?????#literally like!!! 90% of dx criteria involves statistical probability!!!! doctors prescribe statins because you are statistically likely#to develop heart disease or endure a major cardiac event#like they calculate your disease risk based on averages and so so so much data and math and shit THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!!#so why are you complaining about it as if you do!!!!!!!!#sorry. I know it’s in good faith for the most part but. it feels like straight entitlement to constantly complain and dog on doctors#I’m a victim of medical malpractice!!! i still show respect and understand that they’re individuals. people. human beings.#who are largely trying to help others#regardless of my personal experience with others in their field#sorry this is just a vent now#i love research I love science I love medicine please stop hating on every aspect of it and my community ty#delete later#not fandom#stinky speaks

@ my chronically ill peeps: you don't owe anyone the extra effort it takes to pretend that you are ok. You don't need to pretend, even if it makes people upset, downright furious even.
You will have people who get upset at you for being chronically ill, because surprise!! your condition is chronic and no matter how many times they ask: no, it did not get better overnight. No, not even after trying -thing-
It's ok to be chronically ill, it's not a moral failing or your fault, you are NOT a burden. Sometimes shit just happens. And the people who do matter? They will stick around, even if you're having a particularly bad day or when you simply don't have the energy to put a fake smile on your face.
Chronically ill people do not need to try harder, to grow despite our illness and be a "success story".
You are not a failure for having to rely on people or for being dependent on medication.
If you're not chronically ill, be prepared for the answer to the question of "How are you?" or "Are you OK?" It will not always be what you want to hear.
#chronic illness#health#the amount of people who got upsetti spaghetti with me for no longer pretending that I was fine was honestly frustrating#it can happen with your friends#family and others#might I suggest saying “same old or as always” if people repeatedly ask the same question every day DESPITE knowing of your condition#some mean well so try to explain your exhaustion at the question first#I have a friend like that#I told him it reminds me of my condition every day#idk if it's a good way to go about this#this is not a blueprint for how to act obviously#it's just how it makes me feel sometimes and other chronically ill people#I had people abandon me for being too tired all the time or having to cancel plans for doctor's appointments#if anyone has suggestions or experience on how they deal with this -> send them my way!#I'm always open to learn a few new tricks#thanks for reading all of this - peace-

It's an odd comfort to experience a Bad Fibromyalgia Time after a long long period of not having this intensity of it.
Like it sucks slsjskdjd of course but
Very validating to experience some of the moderately severe symptoms and realize "wow this fucking sucks, this isn't normal at all, most people do not deal with this and I did a great job at surviving this for years. I deserved way more credit than I myself. Good job, past-me. You were goddamn tenacious."
The validation is nice
#sorenhoots#cold sensitive is. attacking me. i got used to 'never gets cold anymore' and right now its like mid 60s and i cant feel anything below my#knees cos theyre numb from cold. and i am scrolling tumblr on my phone with a very strategically placed blanket keeping my body heat near#my hands. otherwise they go numb and i can't do anything with them. WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT OF WHY I WAS ALWAYS NURSING SOME SORE#TENDON OR MUSCLE. i never had proper bloodflow for maintenance and so everyday wear-and-tear accumulated into chronic disability until i#eventually would cripple myself trying to wash my hair (sorry for using a slur; i choose to use it because i have emotional attachment to#the world from a lifetime of this nonsense). and then id need help putting on my shirt for six weeks until i nursed it back to usability at#which point id have fucked up the other arm overusing it. goddamn.#im finding a lot of small secrets to coping with these things. a onesie can be treatment for cold sensitivity. laying on a small pillow can#treat GI issues if it helps align your tubes. why not lol doctors never had answers so i am just vibing. i advise going to a doctor tho. and#if they have good advice pls tell me lol

it’s running concurrent to my headcanon that. well. the universe is so lacking in constants for the doctor, and if it’s after he’s experienced the loss of a companion, he’s not going to go have tea with someone else he once travelled with and had to leave behind.
it just makes sense to me, that he’d go seek out the master. especially if he’s barely restraining himself from making bad choices about breaking fixed points in time and causing paradoxes. and he’s right there, playing harold saxon for the world to see, and he’s right. there. the doctor can just go and see him whenever he wants.
#im talking around this being the result of amy and rory dying alsjdkfjks but yeah. yeah that would push him to this.#the master is. its complicated. but he’s someone the doctor can rely on to be. to be the master. which is to say: awful. and familiar.#and the master is someone he can hurt. someone who it feels safe to hurt because that’s what they do.#it makes sense to me that he’d go looking for him just to be the biggest nuisance he can be.#barely upright sitting on the master’s desk. he has to choose to be drunk and oh boy is he choosing.#insulting everything he can think of from the master’s world domination plans to his terrible generic office decor.#breaks down into a giggle fit about the master being blonde (which he keeps trying to explain and failing to and that just leaves the master#annoyed and confused.)#and the thing is is like. this is Extremely concerning behavior from the guy you’ve basically chosen to revolve your life around opposing#and fucking with. i dont think the master would comfort him. especially if he knew the doctor was this broken up about human companions.#but i also dont think he would kick the doctor out.#talk with him under the excuse of gettingn foreknowledhe to change his plans and secure his victory (which he doesn’t end up doing. come on.#and attribute his victory to the doctor’s own help? however inadvertent? humiliating.)#eleven is equal parts angry and morose and clearly trying to bounce away from feeling both of those too deeply by going back to telling the#master that his dye job was shit (again. not something that makes any sense yet. but give it a year and a public restroom and the master#will be cursing him under his breath.)#weird little guys. weird bonding for them. i think the doctor should pass out in the masters office and the master puts him back in his#tardis and programs it to fly him somewhere far far away in time and space.#saying good riddance to himself. he could have made it fly into the sun or something. (or tried. doubt the tardis would let him.)#but he didnt.#anyway give it amonth or teo and im sure twelve and thirteen also have traumatic expeirence that could lead to them commandeering the#master’s office again. a man just wants to take over the world and his office is filled with drunk sad doctors. and now they’re also sad#because of future hims. really. its a mess.

I had asked my mom to ask her sister specifically but her family in general about eds stuff (just like trying to guage if it runs in the family on that side, etc), bc my aunts kids have combinations of health problems that tend to be comorbid with eds (autism, gi stuff, etc). And my mom got back to me and said they said they were all actually struggling with some joint issues thay were getting a lot worse as well and im just 😐😐😐😐😐😐 i was just wondering if one cousin in that family was having joint problems but holy shit dude
#it is... nice i think ? that instead of new info coming in that contradicts everything and leaves me laying on the floor in despair#instead new info is making sense. thats nice for sure#i mean i dont wish eds on my favorite cousins (they are... the only branch of cousins i can stand at all#theyre lovely the rest are conservatives 🤢)#but hey maybe figuring it out will help them#eds#its really weird. my mom was listening to me talk about it and like. actually ? believes me ?#was not expecting that. from anyone but especially from her#but yeah even when shes like 'but why hasnt a doctor suggested eds before' to either me or my cousins and i have to explain#that doctors dont know shit about fuck when it comes to the majority of chronic conditions like that#and everyone ive ever talked to with eds has had to educate their doctors about it myself included#which is why my cousins have not been helped at all and seem to be floundering and trying to fix it by avoiding gluten#which tbf they are all#either sensitive or have celiacs so like yeah makes sense but its not gonna dislocate your shoulder you know#idk#my poor cousins :(

LKJFDLSDKFJLSDK trying to explain to a doctor what my prescription issue is when i have no understanding of how prescriptions are formulated went. um. well everything was okay by the end (thumbs up emoji). and my doc definitely didn't assume i was doing something shady with my testosterone for the first 5 minutes of that call when i fumbled explaining what the issue was.
#'hi i have 10 small vials of testosterone but i would like 1 big vial of testosterone.'#<- this is what a guy who is capable of expressing himself clearly would say#what /i/ did was try to explain my issue using the 200mg/ml verbiage that i saw on my prescription#which i have now learned is different than talking about vial size. so.#whatever.#basically i just had a doctor visit that amounted to 'talk to your pharmacist about it because your prescription is correct'#head in hands

Me: telling my coworker I have a full-on internal fungus making me sick
Him: JAY, THINK. WWJD.
Me: what would Jesus do?
Him: no, you need to accept Joel Miller into your heart we're WAY past Jesus.
Me:
#im taking the recent doctors trip very well#i did not have full on fungus in my body cause im a fun guy on my 2023 bingo card#im not touching spaghetti until this is cleared out#if you know you know#its crazy cause my doc has seen a huge uptick in people being infected#global climate change and peoples immune systems being shot from covid#are the main reasons why its popping up according to her and colleagues#this explains so much weird shit happening to me cognitively#that's not fibro related#if your brain fog is above normal you got random shakes random rashes and cravings for bizzare shit#you might have a fun guy partying up in your system#get tested#in 2004 i had a parasitic worm in me when re4 came out#and in 2023 when tlou is surging again i got a fungus trying to eat me body out#either god is trying to nerf me or my body REALLY wants to be patient zero#for some horrible video game inspired plague

He was even on the list.
Possessed by a time-travelling ancestor.
I guess this explains a lot of the breadcrumbs.
Should I have put Alex Horne on there too?
Ugh I think I've even figured out what judge not lest ye be judged meant and it's worse than I thought.
#why don't i sit on the couch and i'll watch you next time#someone give that man a hug#“i beefed it! my point! i'm meant to be the smart one!”#a game of tag between two souls who love each other so much that they nearly broke the world trying to wake up in the same lifetime#maybe this time#because i think i might have two chances#not just two chances#so many chances#but how many people did i hurt to get here?#forgive me#i knew not what i did#this actually explains a lot of doctor who lore#...including the latest Christmas specials which i did watch#aaaaand the fic okay i think i may have accidentally started the omelas factory myself#my... bad does not cover it#my evil#let's all do better in the future okay#of course the kingdom of God will be on Earth#where else is there?#we've been here the whole time#a dream within a dream#do your good works in secret#where your father who knows all and sees all will eventually figure it out and apologise for letting you kids fight it out#now we all say we're sorry and the children will do what the adults say#it's not two souls#of course it's three#a pair is doable#three in the same lifetime is hard#i shall bear no child#and yet be mother to countless children i save from my own mistakes

had a drs appointment was like "im having a lot of difficulty organizing and initiating tasks and its distressing me" and hes reccomending to me dumb adhd self help books im gonna scream
#hes not WRONG that these tools r helpful ive just already had loads of adhd therapy#me: my executives arent functioning and its really scary and upsetting and imparing my day to day capacity to do tasks#concussion specialist who doesnt have focus in adhd patients: well you need to form habits#i think he didnt quite get the part im upset abt is Wanting And Trying to do things. planning it. and then brain turning to smoke#not a bad doctor or inappropriate advice! he is just a specialist in something that causes similar functional difficulties as adhd#and so instead of being like “yeah its gonna suck youre on a normal timeline. try adaptive/accomodative and gradual habit formation”#he like baby explained incremental habit formation to me im like ive trained myself to do so many things w that#when i was like its distressing me and to hear this is normal timeline helps he stopped being like read some self help books#start finishing my beloathed....

You know what. It's never that serious. Just chill.
#oh so you messed up and gave a gauze to the doctor who kept asking for a swab big whoop#so you blurted out a semi intrusive thought to a doctor you dont work with and couldn't tell by her reaction whether she was offended or not#people perceive you as something other than the perfect obedient little worker bee you try to come off as? boohoo#it doesnt matter! these little things dont matter. them seeing flawed but harmless parts of your personality is not the end of the world#not all of their opinions matter#white man asked you about your religion and you're not sure if you explained it well and whether he was being judgy or genuinely curious so?#it is not solely your responsibility to make it palatable and educational for them#its okay if he judged you#their judgement doesnt matter#they dont even give it a second thought let alone the many you are giving them#so just chill. its okay. it really isnt that serious.#just vibe and enjoy ajd have a good time while working hard for your goals and pray#thats all#take care self you are doing okay
