[sensitiveheartless]

Hullo!! Just wanted to give a belated thank you for all the well wishes, I really appreciate them all :'D I definitely seem to be on the mend! I've been having an...interesting health time this year, but I'm working on it. I've started getting more sleep, at least, which is helping — sleep deprivation makes my digestive issues way, way worse. And also makes it more likely that I'll get sick in general aksjdfksjdf

But yeah, anyway! With luck I will be able to get more things done this week, as long as I can avoid making my body rebel against me again!

#I have had IBS for around eight years now and yet I still struggle to manage it sometimes aksdjfksdjf #not sure if there are food triggers I'm missing or if it's just a combination of stress and sleep and other environmental issues #ah well #...I also need to be more careful when I'm exhausted lol I injured my right hand twice this week #one while trying to cook and one while trying to unhook my cat's claw from a blanket he was stuck on #I need that hand for drawinggg #senhart rambles #health mention

crying tears of gratitude rn

i posted a while back about my mom's medical discovery about our family's genetic prevalence of heart disease and dying young from clogged arteries/heart attacks. she's taken huge steps in redefining her already minimal diet and it's shown incredible progress in her bloodwork but we got the best news today

Lipoprotein(a) is apparently a genetic coin toss that cannot be controlled by external measures and directly relates to coronary heart disease- it was a 50% chance she would have inherited it from her father, and we finally got the results back literally now.

she doesn't have it.

#tbd #health mention #this has been such an immense pressure on my family's emotional state for months now #im honestly sobbing im so fucking happy #yeah there are still risks but they are now things we can monitor and directly influence #she beat the lottery on this one and won

sometimes I think about the fact I went through losing both of my dad’s parents, severe covid, and pneumonia all in the same couple of weeks span, and it’s like. well. if I survived the worst month of my life with all of that then I can probably also get through my brain going nuclear these last few months too 🤪

anyway tmi overshare into the void of my blog but ya girl is scheduling an appointment about my meds and/or pmdd since that also runs in my family and might explain some things because goddamn I need something to give here lmao

#also scheduling this vent to drop while asleep but ​it’s fine i’m just genuinely using my blog as a journal atm #the life and times #grandparent death tw #mental health tw #health mention

Hey y’all! Can you please send me pictures of your favorite animals?  I am stressing out about all -ologists I’ll be going to over the next few months and could really use a distraction. On the one hand, I am grateful I can see these doctors, and that my new PCP is taking my health issues seriously and referring me to specialists. On the other, I have been caught in a never ending merry go round of specialists for more than a decade. I am tired. I never get answers, they always just take money and refer me to a new specialist in a loop, and the latest loop has led to the discovery that I am allergic to neurologists.  So...please send me pictures of your favorite animals (for plushie inspiration, and also just because animals are adorable)

#the person behind the yarn #health mention #medical mention #I'm exaggerating about the neurologist allergy but only a little #the adhesive used for EEGs is a major asthma trigger for me #my rescheduled appointment is next week so we'll see if I am allergic to the office in general? #I hate going to a new endocrinologist #they always want to test me for fucking pheochromocytomas #despite the fact that A. I have a family history and symptoms of Addison's #and B. Addison's is a lot more common than pheochromocytomas #and C. I TEST ON THE RANGE TO HAVE ADDISONS #but no! that's not enough for a diagnosis with Addison's! #gotta test for the damn pheochromocytomas again! #I have been tested for that five fucking times and I have to come off of my meds every time #the first three times I had to come off my meds for a week but I got so sick they switched it to being only off them for a day #but that STILL makes me sick every time #I don't have a pheochromocytoma. In fact I have the opposite of the symptoms of a pheochromocytoma #in that one of the main symptoms is HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE #and I always always test negative but hey! better check again!

It's been roughly two weeks and whatever possessed me to Write for creativity (arm pain) is still going strong. t...thirty thousand words later. What is my life Q^Q;;;

oof i’m having a health scare today, also adding a (mostly non) activity update to this bc timing!

i’ve been owing everyone everything (especially thread wise) for ages now and am sorry for that ;; but i’ll have to continue to limit myself/write only whatever the muse and energy allows for in the moment/be on here very casually whether ic or ooc.

thanks to all for dealing with and understanding— i’m basically still going through it ever since year’s surgery (its complications, my diagnosis, etc), I usually just fight tiredness but unfortunately it’s all for the long run

but thank you for the ic and ooc interactions, am grateful for all of that q_q it’s fun and so is having this blog whenever i’m not here just imagine jude being too busy with work to be here either, canonically accurate

#ooc . #health mention #plus apologies for not writing much as usual #will still be here when i can but yea q_q #and good afternoon to all the mun memes!

Me AGAIN. But your recent art (it's beautiful) got me thinking. I'm worried for his heart. Do you think he's already replaced it with one of his own inventions? Karlach's was a prototype and it sort of makes sense that he'd create one for himself, right? Or is Cas just keeping him alive on potions? Which I can also see, as it'd give Cas more control.

thank you first of all💜

hmm to me it's like this, Gortash COULD replace it potentially I'm sure but he'd most likely have to go back to the hells 4 it, either to have it installed (probably some infernal magic shit involved imo also he can't exactly do surgery on his own heart) or to get the means to make a high functional heart like that. I assume Karlach's was a prototype yeah but moreso for his inventions and not meant as a... actual person thing in the long run. So the issue is that Cas doesn't exactly want him to go to the Nine Hells, considering that Cas is sooo fucking hunted by Mephistopheles who still holds a grudge against him (especially since Cas can't shut up and sometimes sends assassins back with a little errr.... message to him), nd people know about him and Gortash's little conquering adventures on the mortal realm too so it's quite likely that, if Gortash attempts to make another deal, he'll just get fucked over and sold out to Mephistopheles so he can get his hands back on Cas😖

So with that in mind, he hasn't replaced it, no. I don't see Gortash as like... insanely unhealthy just because I think his body can endure a lot so it's less "keeping him alive" and more "keeping him from getting worse" but yeah to me it's mostly potions and just them accepting it. I suppose you can argue that normal health potions would do the trick but I like to think that Cas has them made very specifically just because he has the means and access to infernal magic and ingredients still. It's some form of control, sure, but less in the "if you don't do what I want you to I'll make you worse" way and more in the "give your body to me and I promise I'll take care of you" type of way, if that makes sense

#blakemail #gortcas lore #health play #a little bit I suppose #health mention #smth to be said abt that fact that Cas very much wouldnt let him die or get majorly harmed of this #and he does have the means for it #its smth he very much verbally promised too #it plays a lot into the “eternal suffering over murder” torture thing cas has going on so u could see it as cruel in itself #but he still very much does this out of love

I actually do genuinely fear that I’m wasting away on the floor. Something is very wrong, but otherwise I’m just going to keep going to work while having trouble masking that I’m in genuine pain and anguish. I’ve been bleeding for 3 weeks. Sometimes I just can’t eat food. Most days I have 45 minutes at least of pain and nausea (today it’s ongoing 3 hours) and on top of that I work with food and have food trauma lmfao.

I literally had the scariest panic attack last week where I felt the doom of oncoming death, then my arms went numb and I could barely hear and then I just sobbed for like 20 minutes about how I feel like I’m wasting away on the floor of my studio (where I spend the majority of my time) oh and I probably have a sleep disorder.

Like literally this morning I woke up from a dream that I was falling in an elevator (normal) but it was breakneck speed and my heart rate in the dream was legitimately 240 and I wake up wondering if I’m going to pass away. My dreams are beyond the norm of physiological interruption, usually body horror with smells, tastes, tachycardia, textures. I cannot function anymore if I don’t sleep well.

Anyway. It’s all doom anxiety and I’m probably fine but there is actually something incredibly wrong or I wouldn’t also be experiencing physical pain and tachy and nausea when I’m fully awake and able to control my responses to stimuli.

hi guys. little update to stuff. ill try to condense it all into one big paragraph but warning that below im talking about personal medical stuff ! if you dont wanna read it i totally get it you can keep scrolling and hopefully this little hiatus wont last longer than this week! im still available through discord. username is bunnie_rabbot ! but lets get this going

ive had a (planned) IUD placement today that hopefully will help with my painful and incredibly heavy periods that make my iron levels plummet and have had me having iron infusions monthly for the last few months. if this didnt work we thought that for the rest of my life at least i guess before meonpause i'd need iron tranfusions because i just loose too much blood. luckily we made this appointment and i was super nervous but we went, they gave me some meds to calm me down, and they inserted it. not gonna lie. it was super painful and the last few hours have been painful too. i did some basic research and it seems like some people who get this are fine within 24 hours and others just get reouccring cramps for the following week since insertion.

so im super tired, super in pain, got no sleep the night before, and i still have two othr doctors appointments this week as well as having to do some uni coursework somewhere inbetween it all. thats why ive been pretty silent. im hoping by next week things will lighten up and i can do some writing to ease my brain a little. but until then, unfortunately, i do not think ill be around the rest of the week. i adore you all and am excited to write pete again when i can , just need a little more time!

finally caved and got a home usage blood pressure monitor at lidl bc i always had "let's keep an eye on it" measurements at the doctor's when i was still taking my meds and getting it taken every 6 months

and I've been terrified the last few years of hypertension because of this and bc I'm fat

anyway

i put on the thing, it's one of the talking ones and it tells me. severe hypertension, possible arrhythmia i try not to panic and lay my arm flat on the table

the arm with the cuff

which i had been putting weight on and not holding flat

anyway my blood pressure is fine

#health #health mention #litcherally most stupid woman on earth I was so anxious that i just. didn't hold the arm correctly the first time. idiot

after about an hour on the phone with my health insurance I was told there are zero doctors accepting new patients with Kaiser. I went on the Kaiser site myself and found a new doctor that’s accepting new patients within 5 minutes.

fuck the healthcare system and how inconsistent it is.

anyway, aside from all that, i’m having some heart-healthy oatmeal for breakfast and coming to terms with having to divorce my coffee habits, at least until I can get some decaf and an established cardiologist.

#the good news is that salmon is heart healthy and I Looooooove salmon #health mention #sorry for the last 24 hours of stress posting

I’ve been sleeping for 14+ hours a day and I was thinking, “hmm this isn’t normal I should go doctor”

So I got tested and I’m anemic! I don’t eat enough food is the problem (and I’m vegetarian and I don’t get enough iron and b12 anyway)

I tend to forget to eat or feel guilty when I eat. Does anyone have any tips that help with remembering to have food or helping with the shame that can come with eating?

#food mention #doctor mention #health mention #eating disorder tw #ask to tag #Im not that picky of an eater I’m just nervous about meat #I might be pescetarian later to see if that helps! #btw I’ve been vegetarian for 8~ years! so it’s scary for me to jump into meat again #if anyone has advice for that too I’m open to hear it! #rambling

I have been so busy the last 2 weeks it's insane //flops

My poor kitty got an abscess from getting into a fight with an outside cat (he ran off and we had to wait for him to come back and he returned with that sadly)

Got it drained but since we are a low income family we had to wait until we had the funds to properly see a doctor (not to mention how many places I had to call...like 5 before I even got someone that was like "ok I THINK we can squeeze you in")

So he ended up having some necrotic skin on his neck and it's of course coming off and we have to wait till next friday to get him seen again (vet knows and said it'll be fine to wait, she set up the date for it). Because of this his is coned for so long because he wants to itch it so much and sdjfnsdkjfs I feel so bad...

We have to monitor him 24/7 because we're afraid he'll find a way to take the cone off and damage the area (that and because he keeps trying to have the other pets itch it for him)

I feel so bad and I'm also just very worried but he's in great shape and eats like a fucking champ so he's healthy, he's just depressed and in cone jail : (

#I am so sorry my little man #I know you like the outside but it can no longer be #I wanna try to harness train him and see if he likes that... #I also hope the next visit wont gouge us out of money...they gave us an estimate and it still was alot #but if the vet thinks he needs another antibiotic shot...oof #health mention #pet health mention

[introvert-extrovert-bracket]

so I'm currently having a bit of a health crisis (nothing deadly) so the bracket may be postponed for a bit. it's also the end of the school year so I have some big projects I need to finish. sorry about this, I was looking forward to the bracket but life has been stressful :/
