#gained a chronic illness

May I ask why you are posting less frequently?? Just wondering, as I noticed.

Yes, you may ask! No worries. For nearly two years now I've made it a goal of mine to keep the queue full come hell and high water. That is still the goal. As you probably know, I added a couple more mods to the team to help keep up with rising numbers, but life tends to Happen and for a while there it was happening to all of us at once. I did my best to keep things running and the others helped out when I couldn't, but I'm sure there was still a noticeable slowdown for a little while there.

As for this week...well, on the irl side things got a bit much even for me to keep up with. But I'm aiming to have it back up and running at a much more normal pace! Just as soon as I get a little more adjusted to the new circumstances. This little corner of the internet is a thing I'm still very invested in the upkeep of, and it pains me to see the queue at zero - but it hopefully won't happen again. If it does, though, know that I am looking forward to the earliest possible time I can post more frequently again. Hope that clears some things up!

#mod shade #not a headcanon #q&a #I really do try to avoid getting personal on this blog，but just for a frame of reference here (and because honestly. it's a little funny) #in the last month or so i have #gained a chronic illness #done a really taxing exam period #moved house #started a full time job #and some assorted other spanners in the works that are a bit too specific to get into #the ''funny'' part is that over the last two years I've continued running this blog through each of those things individually #at different points #but yeah turns out all at once is a little bit much for me to keep the ol queue ticking :) #once I've got a few less boxes and a bit more routine around here things should fall into place again #physical health permitting #thank you for your patience <33

I loathe the day that my hands stop me from playing guitar.

I had a custom guitar made for me, I spent so much time and money upgrading it, only to not be able to play it anymore because of the neck shape.

It was such a beautifully built guitar. Solid and had decent bones. I put in my dream pickups that I spent six months to find the pair.

I had to sell it because my hand and wrist weren't able to play for more than two minutes without two days of hand pain.

At least the person who bought it will love it, seeing him smile when I dropped it off, he was so happy.

My loss is your gain good sir.

He was super nice also and told me some guitars that would fit my hand nicely.

10/10 best customer 👌

He funded a guitar that fits in my hand and is a bad ass guitar, though, so it all worked out. Sounds nice in recordings without having to do any upgrades.

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Exercise isn't a one-size-fits-all situation and medical professionals need to stop pretending otherwise. For some folks, any body movement is excellent. Find what works for you within your conditions, don't hurt yourself doing it, it doesn't have to be a marathon! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 12:19 PM · Aug 30, 2023

tfw all your chronic conditions only have "drink water, exercise, and go to therapy" as treatment

Gee thanks wow I hadn't tried that

#I'm not sure why I expected pmdd to magically gain effective treatment since last month #but it would be nice #chronic fatigue #chronic illness #chronic pain #audhd #autistic adult #It's not just the #pmdd #But I Google it every month like a schmuck #Right before I Google “bad period not endometriosis” #It's doing the thing where it gets longer and longer and soon my whole month is my period #fuck.

#u can fetishize this its fine i dont feel that sick from the fullness #but also this isnt a kink thing for me im just chronically very underweight and keep trying and failing to gain #so uh 🥺 praise me for big meal and caloric drink #well big for me at least #maybe its like normal or sorta or still small for others #but for me its a lot!! and i managed to push through and eat basically all of it #on top of my snacks throughout the day like pretzels and candy and whatever else within reach #i worry if i gain new weight itll distribute wrong #but w how stressed i am and havent seen a doctor in years to deal with anything #ill probably never gain weight anyway #even if i do ill just be glad if i can gain back like 10-15 lbs i lost randomly and suddenly #rly happy this food didnt trigger any pain tho its like normal fullness its handleable #i feel warmmmm

Ok there is chance at this point I should go to urgent care. But you know what? No I’m good. This won’t kill me and it’s not that bad. Worrying but AGAIN! Not that bad. I’ve had worst pain for longer and so what if there’s 🩸😹 that’s not conclusive enough to prove anything.

I’m staying home. For now. Maybe I should go.. but not right now, maybe tomorrow if it persists…

I’m so dumb I swear.

Cw weight talk, sickness and mention of calories.

Can anyone please drop some (gluten free) high calorie that taste better than most of the drinks? My breakfast essentials are only 200 calories. Ensure was disgusting and only had 300 calories. I’ve never had boost before but I saw it was 530 calories and everyone said it was too thick. If my sensory issues are triggered I am more likely to get sick.

I cannot eat more than the size of my hand and I do not eat sometimes because of my body just trying to keep itself alive and digestion takes energy too. I’m not getting enough calories for a toddler, let alone an adult woman. The same applies for drinks, I cannot consume one of the drinks at once since it would be too much for my stomach.

Literally anything helps as long as it’s gluten free. Also I buy carnation breakfast essentials and they come from nestle, I’m sure some of these will too. I need this, I cannot boycott nutrition supplements/food/drink.

Anyone have sleeping tips for less pain when waking up?

Someday I dread sleeping, because I always wake up in some sort of pain either in my neck shoulder, back, hips, or stiff feet,, I’ve tried different beds, pillows, sleeping positions but I still end up waking up in pain 🤧 and it’s not pleasant to feel when you first wake up :,)

I'm in desperate need to save up some money since I'm finally following my therapists advice to save up for a wheelchair as my Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue is making it harder and harder for me to function. If anyone's interested, I'm offering these clean doodles for 9€ each. I know that any higher price won't attract people, which is why it's so damn low.

If interested, please message me!

Fucked up how much of your brain is Chemicals.... was just thinking 'huh I haven't had a really bad night lying awake contemplating death recently' and then remembered I finished my course of suicidal ideation-inducing meds.

#and the endometriosis is already coming back but oh well #I mostly agreed to them bc I wanted to see if the hormonal suppression would also suppress my autoimmune shit #which.... unclear #I HAVE gotten worse recently but I have also put a lot more triggers in my diet in my attempts to gain weight #chronic illness blogging #cw: suicide mention

As an afab nonbinary butch who's trying to gain muscle without losing weight the sexism in the exercise industry makes me fucking see red. Just found an exercise program that boasts being entirely based in science and has the sources to prove it with well-controlled, recent, and relevant clinical studies backing up all of their stuff and as someone who's pretty well-versed in scientific research and fed up with fad-based pseudoscientific bullshit in the health industry I was fucking ecstatic. They had a little quiz you could take to find out which program would suit your needs the best so I filled it out and when it asked me about my goals I selected "I have a low amount of body fat and want to build more muscle" and it took me to a program called Strong. Great! ...Except as I read into it I kept finding references to "burning stubborn fat" and other similar shit. Scrolled down to the FAQ and found a question where it explained that this program was different from their Build program bc Build is "better suited for those who are skinny and at a relatively low body fat" ...even though that's exactly the option I selected in the quiz. Turns out they have three options for males: one for people who want to lose weight without focusing too much on muscle mass, one for people who want to become leaner by focusing on both weight loss and muscle mass, and one for people who want to gain muscle mass without losing weight (Build). But for females, they've only got two options, and neither one of them are designed to help you gain muscle mass without losing weight. I would ask why tf it's ALWAYS assumed that women have to want to lose weight but I know it's fucking sexism

#is the diet industry REALLY so pervasive that companies are deciding to just lose out on money #by not making products for people with weight goals they dont think women should have?? #they literally made a program for men who want to gain muscle mass without losing weight #and then just decided that would be the ONLY one they wouldnt adapt to fit women as well #my guy ive struggled with being chronically underweight my entire life and i only JUST managed to reach a healthy weight at the age of 25 #i only just got to where i dont pass out from standing up or getting too hot or doing light exercise anymore #i am NOT trying to become underweight again #why is it so fucking unfathomable that a woman might not want to lose weight #rambling #considering trying the mens program but my only concern is that ill likely have different nutrition requirements and etc #being a non-hrt afab person #i emailed their support to ask about it. guess ill see if theyre able to give any sort of satisfactory response #to which one would work for a 'female' who doesnt want to lose weight or 'improve my curves'

I am in so much pain. The Urgent Care’s cocky dr who said “I have the test and the cure.” His *cure* did not work. Fuck thank god I have a dr app tomorrow. I wish I would have call the fuck off and went today. When will I learn ✨😩

would appreciate prayer - I’m having a horrible flareup of eczema or whatever my skin condition is for no discernible reason, and it’s just spread to my feet and they itch and burn horribly :/

#I can’t make head or tail of this thing :/ #every day this skin condition goes on unexplained (a year and a half now) I gain more respect for y’all chronic illness folks

Wie soll man da noch leben können?

Wenn selbst die Medikamente auf die man täglich angewiesen ist jetzt nicht mehr von der Krankenkasse gezahlt werden und man doch eh schon NICHTS hat?!

Wie soll man die dann auch noch zahlen??

Oder soll man es eben einfach so hin nehmen und versuchen ohne diese Medikamente zu leben und die extreme Verschlechterung der lebensqualität dann einfach akzeptieren, - im Zweifel sich die Haut vom Körper kratzen, keine Luft mehr bekommen, nachts erstrecht nicht mehr schlafen können und vieles mehr..???

Was soll man nur tun, wenn einem derart die Hände gebunden sind finanziell und man sowieso schon jeden Tag unter existenzängsten leidet?

Und dann soll man aber glücklich durchs Leben gehen und wird blöd angemacht wenn man depressiv ist, ständig aus dem Nichts zu weinen beginnt weil man so verzweifelt ist...
