thinking about how Awful akutagawa would feel with altitude sickness because of his already poor health and even worse lungs...he's so out of it and too fatigued to even think straight and breathing gets difficult. he will frequently pass out and he's lucky if he doesn't end up with high altitude pulmonary edema bc of his lungs

Being crazy is so, so awful. For the past 2 years, out of the blue, I have been fighting psychosis and delusions. I didn't know what was causing it and I had no idea how I was going to navigate the absolutely broken healthcare system here in America to fix what was wrong with my brain.

I had severe allergies for years which had a twofold effect -- inflammation and then taking diphenhydramine 2 capsules 2 times daily which now is shown to have drastic long term effects.

The key to all of this was when I would visit locations at altitudes above 5000ft I would absolutely lose my tenuous grasp of reality. Turns out cerebral edema is greatly exacerbated by high altitudes and my symptoms matched with some of the indicators of brain inflammation.

I can attribute such things as insomnia, weakness in the muscles, nausea, vomiting, and of course the aforementioned altered mental states.

As I am not a healthcare professional I can mention here that I have begun a course of treatment consisting of supplements I found through scientific papers. I'd really like to get a brain scan sometime but for now these treatments have made a huge difference.

Unfortunately now my life has totally fallen apart so I have to put all the pieces back together and try to get back closer to the goals I have had to abandon. Basically I had to drop everything while this was going on because I was in such bad shape mentally. The past two years have really sucked a wild coyote's butthole for me and maybe I am lucky to still be alive.

This is not a donations post -- for now I am doing OK for money. I don't want to work in Healthcare anymore so leads on jobs where my creative input is appreciated (I am an experimental musician, have built my own instruments and synthesizers, manicpixievideovixen.com) would be the most helpful.

I wanted to share my story and let all of you know you are not alone. You are never alone. We should all be much more righteous to each other, and I love you so much 💕💕💕

"But now this room is spinning while I'm trying just to fill in all the gaps." | Safety Net | Swooning | "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Fili/Kili, T Modern AU 770 words

--

A/N: Incredibly mild whump via altitude sickness (ie headache, nausea, dizziness) with caretaking.

--

“Wow! Kili, look at this!”

Kili does not look up from the trail precisely 2 feet in front of his boots. He hears the excitement in Fili’s voice, the awe, but all Kili can focus on his the harsh sound of his own breathing and the continuous loop of “Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t fall.”

“Kili?”

Kili hooks his thumbs through the shoulder straps of his backpack and forces himself to take another step and another before looking up. Fili has stepped off to the side of the trail. Back straight, hands holding his phone in landscape mode, arms making small adjustments to get the perfect photo. His chest rises and falls as he takes deep breaths, but his cheeks are pink and his eyes bright. Kili tries to keep the scowl from his face. He feels like he is about to fall down. He wants to go back to the hostel and take a nap. But he also does not want to ruin what should be (and is, for Fili) a good time with a scowl.

Kili stops next to Fili. He looks out over the edge where Fili’s eyes are trained. Bursts of gold amid the green fir trees, mist rising from the lake, the peaks of mountains sliding in and out of view as the fogs and clouds thicken and thin on a whim. 

“It almost doesn’t feel real.”

“Yeah,” Kili forces out before he yawns again. He winces when the yawn makes his head throb again. 

“Are you okay?”

Kili straightens. “I’m fine. Just tired.” 

Fili’s eyes are now fixed on Kili instead of the breathtaking view. “We can take a break here,” Fili says, “Have a snack; whatever.”

Kili unbuckles the chest and waist belts of his pack. “You don’t have to wait for me.” 

Fili’ rolls his eyes, “If I wanted to hike alone then I could have just saved those credit card points that I used for your seat on the plane for something else.” He has his bag off and is rifling through its contents for snacks before Kili even slips his bag from his shoulders. “Besides, this is a great spot to take a break. We have this view,” he gestures to the view of the peaks in the clouds and their snow speckled slopes, “the sun, and a bit of a breeze.”

Kili bends over to set his bag down. His head throbs; his vision darkens;  he stumbles. Fili grabbing a fistful of Kili’s brightly patterned fleece jacket while making a startled noise keeps Kili from falling down.

“What was that?” There’s a concerned note to Fili’s voice that he most certainly got from their mother. 

“I’m fine. I just got a little dizzy, that’s all,” Kili says after he straightens. But Fili does not let go of Kili’s jacket. 

“Do you have a headache?” Fili’s gaze is now fixed on Kili.

“A bit,” Kili shrugs, “But it could be from the turbulence on our flight, I—”

“Dizziness?”

“Not right now.”

“Nausea?”

Kili shrugs again.

“If I gave you a granola bar would you eat it?”

“Probably not,” Kili admits. He looks past Fili.

“Okay. Sit down.” Fili guides Kili to a flat-ish rock. He only lets go of Kili’s jacket once Kili is firmly seated. “We’re going to have a snack. You are going to drink as much water as you can stand. We’re going to rest a bit while we do that. And then we’re heading back down to the car.”

Kili sipped from his hydration bladder. “I can go down by myself,” he protested.

“Not a chance,” Fili said, ripping open a package of chocolate-covered almonds and shoving them at Kili.

“I can wait here for you. There’s no reason you shouldn’t get to enjoy the summit.” Kili stared gloomily into the bag of almonds.

Fili leaned over and rested a hand on Kili’s knee. “We’re going down together. We’ll find something else to do. Maybe check out that ziplining place we saw advertised in the drive up here. After that we could get some Himalayan food from that one place you found online.”

“Fine.”

“Don’t think I won’t tickle you if that’s what is necessary to make you smile,” Fili threatens with a smile.

Kili flicked an almond in Fili’s direction.

“Hey!” The almond bounced off Fili’s chest and landed on the ground somewhere.

“I’d like to see you try.”

“After I find that almond. Chipmunks don’t need to be eating that.”

“Mhm.” Kili takes a small handful of the almonds and crunches away while Fili continues to hunt for the missing snack food.

"Mal de hartura" (word play based in the spanish expression for altitude sickness; "hartura" (weariness) sounds like "altura" (altitude)). 31 x 23". Hand pieced, embroidered and quilted.

Did you know altitude sickness and anxiety share a long list of symptoms? Palpitations, nausea, dizziness, headache, hand tingling, insomnia, reduced coordination. In altitude sickness the body hasn't enough time to adjust to low amount of oxygen at high elevation; in anxiety attacks the brain thinks we're in danger and get the body into a fight-or-flight response. In both cases the shortness of breath is real.

Joe Elliott (before This Guitar) - "Before we carry on. I'd just like to say a big thanks to all the staff at the Marly hospital. Who took care of me last night - I was feeling a little but under the weather. We call it altitude sickness. You have another word for it that we can't pronounce. And I made it, you made it and thanks to them. That's why I'm here so let's make some noise for all those good folks at the Marly hospital please."

How to Recognize the Morning Sickness That's Right for You

When you are feeling satisfied with your project you completed and looking forward to starting another one, out of the blue, pain and sickness take over your body. For most of us, the first thought is to go to the doctor, but depending on how you feel, you call 911. What they don't talk about in the media is that many people go to sleep healthy and wake up unable to move their hands and feet. Sometimes blind surprises and body disabilities can happen to anyone. I am learning that as we get older, we must take our health seriously because staying in shape will give us a long, healthy life. If we can spot the problem we feel and let the doctor know early, we can save ourselves from suffering unexpected pain.

Where I am from, as far as I can remember, they worked hard, ate the right foods, exercised without a gym, and how their bodies healthy by passing down traditional treatment and herbal medicine. Whenever there was pain or any type of sickness, the first intention before the doctor was to do the home remedies. I share some of them in my YouTube videos online. You can search Dealfigure Entertainment. When the doctor tells you to take long walks, it is good for your body. I run my own test on taking long walks. My experience was that the doctor was right. People who are driving and working need to do more walking. If they join the gym, that's okay. I believe the best exercise is running jumping jacks. Chinese Tiy cheers good for your heart, head, and kidneys.

The people around the world must know the everyday moments around you are not safe. You can lose your hand, feet, with silence weapon. You can die from them. You must always notice changes in your body, mind, and soul in the morning when you wake up and can move your hand, feet,  give thanks for more life because many people go to bed and a lot of them don't wake up. Stay on top of your eating, drinking, and running.
