#fun with chronic illness

[poetry-protest-pornography]

One of the most annoying things about POTS has been that my legs and feet fall asleep very easily because of my low BP, which means I have to be careful of how I sit.

As a bisexual, I resent this.

In conclusion:

Dysautonomia is homophobic.

Body swap movie where one of them has invisible disabilities and when the other one lands in their body they immediately collapse catatonic on the floor from the pain and fatigue and the first one is like 'oh damn guess I don't have to worry that I'm faking it anymore'

#i have this fantasy of one my able bodied friends and or coworkers occupying my body for like an hour #just to get a real sense of how much i am truly weathering hellfire every day of my life #sometimes i take stock and im like holy crap ive gotten so used to so much #im a frog in a pot and ive convinced myself the bubbling is just fun ambience #my thoughts #invisible disability #chronic illness #chronic pain

9-1-1 said "here's bi buck" and I said "that's exactly what I needed to get through my writer's block!" and proceeded to write this.

Summary:

"Hey, no, we don't have to rush into anything you're not ready for, okay?" Tommy says. "There's no hurry, it might be good to take it a bit slow, actually."

Buck nods. "Yeah, yeah, okay."

"How about we have a beer, and we talk some more, and maybe we can make out a bit more on the couch?"

Tommy points over his shoulder towards Buck's living room, his expression one big, playful question mark, definitely a bit hopeful as well, and Buck can't help but smile and nod.

"Yeah," he says, grabbing the other bottle of beer left on the counter, "yeah, that sounds like a great plan."

OR: Buck explores the wonders of gay sex (slowly, with a really patient, sweet Tommy guiding the way and while having a lot of fun)

People when you say you have chronic fatigue: "We're ALL tired, sweetie!! That's just life!! Haha!!"

Meanwhile I just said, out loud, to my partner: "I'd love to be eating, but I just don't have that kind of energy" 🙃

#spoonie #chronic fatigue syndrome by beloathed #chronic fatigue syndrome #chronic fatigue #one of my doctors thinks it might be Addison's now (maybe?)?? #so that brings the autoimmune count up to 2.5! wow #now I just have to decide between treatment and diagnosis/any kind of rest or financial support #being chronically ill is not fun

One thing I really struggle with in explaining my disabilities to doctors or even within the disabled community is that I really have no baseline idea of "healthy" to go off of. The last time I knew what it was like to not hurt all of the time, I was a child. I don't know what it's like to remember things or think clearly or have all of my brain functions, so I can't really explain how the way I am now is different.

This is my normal and has been for roughly half of my life, so how am I supposed to compare it to a "normal" that I haven't felt?

Laying in bed with no energy is really fucking boring, y’all.

grasping what it means to be chronically ill can be hard for people, as it can be different for each person. But most of us understand chronic fatigue, days of pain that feels like it will never end, being stuck in bed, having to set reminders to take necessary medications medications. Chronic illness is not a joke. It takes time to adjust to having s chronic illness.

So don't be an asshole when your chronically ill friends cancel on you. The about of energy I use trying to take care of myself on a daily basis doesn't much left for anything else. And understand they may have different needs, completely different foods to help deal with their conditions. Mobility aids, and parking closer to buildings. I can not stress enough, please park close for them. Understand that chronic illness is exactly that: chronic.

Taking a pain killer with caffeine and my anti-tachycardia meds at the same time and letting them fight it out in the world's stupidest battle royale where I am inevitably the loser

Crepus *talking to a sister in the church*: Listen, I have no idea what's up with him. He just woke up and told me he was in pain, I tried to give him medicine but he refused because he said it wouldn't work.

The sister: And you still gave it to him, right?

Crepus: Yeah, of course, he took it himself after I insisted. But after two hours it just got worse, he seems used to it and when I asked him what could've caused it he just...

Kaeya *8 years old, sitting on the bed, visibly in pain and generally annoyed*: IT'S BECAUSE THE ARCHONS HAVE FORSAKEN ME! I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOUUUU!!!

Crepus: Did that...

Kaeya: THERE IS NO CURE! LET ME GO HOME, DILUC SAID WE CAN PLAY PRETEND WHEN I GET HOME!!!

if folks on Terra regularly have two pairs of ears, then like. how do they hear. how do they hear. what does it sound like. i NEED to know. I'm no biology expert, but the primary disadvantage I can think of with human ears is their inability to tilt, adjust, or otherwise move to better spatialize sound. we have to tilt our heads around to get a sense of where the heck a particular sound might be originating from, and even then it's far from infallible. higher frequencies with very short wavelengths are notoriously difficult to locate, and lower sub-bass frequencies with very long wavelengths can sometimes suffer a similar phenomenon. slapping on a second pair of animal ears on an otherwise human head might help in alleviating these issues. many are able to move around, and typically detect frequencies outside of the standard human range of around 20Hz to 20kHz. the bit I don't get tho? they all seem to face forward. like, if you're going to evolve to double the amount of ears, wouldn't it be optimal for the 2nd set to be aligned backwards for fuller coverage?? or at least in SOME different direction. like sure, they have a range of movement to work with, but I can't imagine having a 2nd pair of ears that, at rest face the same direction as my existing ones. it sounds like a recipe for needless sensory overload... r-right?? this has real "three dimensional idiot atttempts to grasp four dimensional space" vibes LMFAO my former specialty was doing music/audio, and the whole concept of binaural audio is super interesting. heck I made my own goddamned edit of carameldansen to try and really make it sound like it was blaring on the other side of your wall. but what the heck would that sound like to april? does she listen to her music with standard headphones while the bnnuy ears are still keeping tabs on her environment? is she forever cast from the basic human pleasure that is shutting out the world via total replacement with blasting music? do they even make 4-driver headphones, or even mix audio in quadraphonic format? does 2-channel stereo music, to them, lack the same sense of depth and space that music summed to mono sounds like to us??? arknights not only refuses to answer any of these (to my knowledge), but instead laughs and spits on my face yet more questions

april. wh-what. kind of earplugs. do you have four of them or is it just two. are either pair like. human sized. please do not shove corn cob-sized earplugs into my head they will NOT fit
