venting about health stuff
this is long but I have barely been able to talk about how bad this is for me right now and I feel horrified all the time about how challenging and scary and confusing it all is. I need people to understand, even if it's just one or two people. I don't know what to do to deal with this and therapy is only doing so much, medication only does so much. I am in an existential terror because I don't have answers and I don't even know if I have the time to find them. I'm sorry I'm like this.
content warning: physical health, mental health, delayed & unreliable healthcare, confusing/scary symptoms, brief mention of breast dysphoria, brief mention of alcoholism, harm reduction, unplanned breast size change
I cannot find anything anywhere that says there can be a cause for lymph nodes swelling after having alcohol aside from Very Scary things and I am really just not feeling cool about having to wait literally fucking months to see a rheumatologist to address the repeated swollen lymph node issues while I'm ALSO trying to figure out why I have more lesions or something similar in my brain (next followup Monday). argh argh
how do I not freak out about this shit? I have spent the last SEVERAL years with multiple terrifying health crises, from the head injury & subsequent two years of PT, the pandemic itself & having COVID (with weird lymph side effects), effective malpractice that caused medication to almost kill me in 2020, the blood pressure/heart irregularities from August to last month, and now this shit. I am so fucking scared. :(
I keep having meltdowns because of ambiguity over tiny things (plans for the evening, scheduling, etc.) because I feel like I am in a quagmire of ambiguity, within the US healthcare system that is totally not dedicated to my care - I have some decent doctors, but it's a fucking mess financially, structurally, systemically - and about what the fuck is going on with my body and brain. I am struggling bad.
I want to do fun things! Enjoy my life! I'm 35 and I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I'm going to fill out an advance care directive because every time I've been supposed to do one I have fucking panics and can't do it because I don't want to have to yet again encounter whether I get to live or die as a daily fucking concern. It's hard enough being trans & disabled in the US, I don't know how much more I can take.
I've reached the point of pretty notable depression, my insomnia is probs the worst it's ever been (it's hard to get more than a few hours of sleep even with sleeping medicine or melatonin or any other method of getting better sleep I've tried), & the state I'm in is affecting every part of my life in a devastating way at this point. Even with insurance, I don't even know if we can afford treatment if I end up needing it.
I'm trying to survive all of this but it's so hard to live when I feel like every day is a wild card of whether it's going to be lifelong deteriorating illness, too rapid a death, or *spins wheel* unexplained symptoms & suffering for the foreseeable future? Every bitcosts money, & makes it less likely I'll ever be able to live somewhere safe & healthy for me with my partners.
So if I'm... not fun? not happy? This is why.
I'm sharing all this because I'm scared and hurting and I don't know if or when I'll have answers or what those answers will be. I don't think people understand why I am struggling so much & so messed up all the time. I feel like Shroedinger's cat. I'm dying but not dying but no one knows which or what they'll find when they open the box, least of all me, & I feel like I'm invisible while I'm experiencing it. I'm sorry.:( p.s. I really don't drink much - harm reduction has worked for me, I'm pretty careful, and I haven't been drunk since December 2015. For holidays & the occasional dinner or shower/bath time I'll have like, a drink or two? Today I had a single rum & coke, with John's approval on the rum measurement, and my arm has a swollen lymph node, I hurt everywhere, & my boobs are so swollen my bra barely fits. I like my boobs *at normal size*, but this sucks.

God, what a journey. I have CIDP.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the 8th of May I was told that my official diagnosis is 'CIDP' (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy) I have gone from the introverted but all-out goth willing to wear that blue dress into a hospital (first pic) to (with a fresh haircut) the dying to be out of the house, sill goth, geek (last pic)
I say this not to beg for sympathy but to say I'm officially disabled and finally at a comfortable point to say that, I am weird, I am Autistic, and I'm practically wheelchair-bound.
I am a rare case, most CIDP cases aren't in their early 20s with no prior illnesses before this happens to them, but I am lucky enough to live in the UK and have free healthcare, I can complain about wait times in A&E, or the slow way hospitals communicate, but I'm writing this to say that you should look out for yourself, cause you never know what will happen.

Hello to all of my lovely followers and any other wonderful people that come across this post!!
This is the farthest thing from my usual posting that I ever do, but I’m trying to reach as many people as I can.
I was just recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and am still suffering long term effects from the spinal tap I received which is making living practically impossible anymore.
My best friend finally convinced me to allow them to set up a GoFundMe in order to hopefully help me keep up with my bills and taking care of my animals until I can get my issues with my head taken care of and am able to get back to working, and I figured here would be a great place for me to reach out to more people in hopes of getting more help through all of this.
Thank you so much to anyone that is able to donate during this time, words cannot begin to express my gratitude for your help 🥺❤️

After almost four years of no increase in symptoms / addition of new symptoms, i’ve had a persistent tingling and numbness in my last three toes on my right foot for several days, indicative of fibular nerve fraying.
just when i get so used to a condition i almost forget i have it, some new fuck shit happens.

it really floors me how doctors won’t prescribe medications that will make or break a person’s ability to function in their daily lives because they think they’re pharmacists and not doctors and considering I’m on a literal fucking cocktail of about 14 drugs first thing in the morning to be able to even function moderately without pain and actually need every single last one of them
and that’s not even a guarantee most days

JBB's DRP for 11/29/2: Grateful Life Lessons
JBB’s DRP for 11/29/2: Grateful Life Lessons
For the next couple weeks I will be posting the Gratitude Journal prompts that are being given to my students and my response post. I can only image how different the words “life lesson” must mean to a middle school student versus the experiences of a sixty-something teacher. I’ve mentioned this more than a couple times but in 2012 I was diagnosed with an auto-immune illness CIDP (Chronic…

uhhhmm....
#i gotta stop reading medical articles when i know i cant afford to go to a doctor to be told if im wrong or right#theyre real sourced and credited articles btw im not on like... webmd or something lmao#i just want to know why this deformity is giving me so much grief NOW right after i got covid#its been like that my whole life!! it looks real freaky on an x-ray and that was obviously pointed to as the source of the pain im in#but the human body is weird and i've always kind of been aware and proud of how much core muscle ive got for someone my size#ive never had any kind of back troubles in my life before this. my body grew around it to compensate just fine before covid????#anywayyy apparently its fairly widely reported that covid can cause demyelinating diseases#so it causes a deterioration of myelin (the stuff that surrounds and protects the nerves in ur spinal cord and brain)#which then makes your nerves send fake pain signals. and. lots of other freaky stuff like muscle weakness and numbness#which i have all of#it could definitely just be that my stupid loose vertebra is floating around and punching my nerves and thats whats causing it but#i just feel like there should have been. idk. some kind of similar pain before getting sick...#i find it hard to believe that ive had this deformity for 25 years and it never caused any pain before i got covid#like i mean its THERE obviously and looks scary but. i really do think my body grew around and adjusted to it just fine....#idk im done now i wrote it down its out of my brain i'll push the thought back into the corner for now bye bye#mau

Too much abnormal protein makes the neurons Syk: once in a while a kinase turns from perpetrator into a patron
Too much abnormal protein makes the neurons Syk: once in a while a kinase turns from perpetrator into a patron
Unfortunately, medicine currently lacks effective treatments to target the root causes of most neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or ALS. UVA Health researchers have discovered a cellular protein in the brain orchestrates the immune system’s responses to Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially enabling doctors to enhance the body’s ability to fight those and…

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is defined as a neurological disorder in which the body immune system attacks myelin which is an important part of the nervous system. It happens when the body immune system cannot differentiate between the body’s own cell and foreign cell and instead start destroying the healthy cells of the body. This can cause pain, impaired ability, loss of sensation, chronic fatigue and other problems, Different treatments can be used to treat this disease such as intravenous immunoglobulin, plasmapheresis, physiotherapy and others.
