#am i high or it's just my blood pressure?

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all! Having the kidlet and his mom visit was absolutely awesome, and after crashing pretty hard the first day I wore compression socks for the next days, and they made such a huge difference I want to get more of them Do you have any recommendations for knee-high or higher compression socks? In fun colors/patterns preferably, because I'm probably going to spend the summer in compressions socks, shorts, and a tank top and I'd enjoy the socks being colorful

#the person behind the yarn #I mean ideally they'd be thigh high compression socks #because the more of my legs being compressed the better my blood pressure will be #but the idea of compression tights with that compression around my waist feels like #when you put a harness on a cat and it just falls over and won't move? #I am pretty sure I'd hate compression tights #but I can manage compression socks! #so knee high or higher socks

Me: oh boy I can't wait to go to bed early-

The universe: throws a storm that blows the power out at me that's been going on for the past 2 hours and randomly makes my nose bleed again after not even fucking TOUCHING IT

#Girl #everything is terrible rn #I am relying on computer battery and at least have wifi #but I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP #NOW I CANT CAUSE ITS PITCH BLACK AND LOUD AS FUCK OUTSIDE #MY NOSE IS BLEEDING LIKE A BTICH FOR SOME FUCKING REASON AAAAAAAAAAA #beginning to think it might be caused by high blood pressure or anxiety idk #irl stuff #vent #tw medical #tw blood

if exercise is supposed to help stress than why is my blood pressure still high!! I have fantastic cardio health now but my blood pressure is still in the high range. I cannot win

#literally most of my doctors advice boils down to ‘reduce stress’ #and it’s not even in a dismissive way like that’s genuinely the root of a lot of my problems!! #the problem is! #the stress is just There!! #whether I feel it emotionally or not! #it’s just an ever present part of my subconscious physical self I gues!!! #🙃 #how am I supposed to fix my health problems !!! #granted I haven’t discussed my blood pressure with my doctor (and it’s not super high just like. higher than it should be) #but it’s frustrating to see exercise definitively improve my health in one way but not do anything for other problems #ugh #if trying Cereset in a few months doesn’t work then #I just #idk what #ccg rants

been trying to fully detox from using caffeine and i gotta say. i feel a lot better.

#not dogs #i mean its not good for me to have anyways with my high blood pressure but... #i got an air up waterbottle and it's been incredible honestly #i hate feeling sluggish in the morning due to lack of caffeine or dependency on caffeine to wake up #it'll make early am runs with the dogs a lot easier if i'm just....better about going to bed on time #ah. being in your 30s be like..

what’s really embarrassing is my roommate on the phone with his mom saying “yeah i’ve been getting really sloppy i haven’t cleaned in a week it’s terrible” and my side of the room is just like that. all of the time. and i feel guilty but he also hasn’t ever said anything to my face he moved my stuff some at the beginning of the year but has never talked to me about it and i’m also so fucking ill that i just cant really handle adding that to my list while trying to also not fail school. so here i am being a terrible person i guess. did i tell you guys about turtle-person. have i showed my bracelets. i’m gonna go to sleep but in the morning i need to show my bracelets

#help i have work tomorrow. i also feel sick and strange. wish me luck #the sun was around today which was incredible but also i think it gave me too much mental energy #cause for the first time in forever i had the brightness of spirit to go for a walk. but that’s not the same as having the blood flow for it #so i think i overexerted myself cause of being finally happy and mentally energized i forgot about being physically disabled #i also had to explain POTS to somebody today and she was literally like ‘oh is that the thing where you need to have salt’ and NO like #i do have a really high salt intake to cope with POTS. but that’s not the fucking thing yknow?? like no that’s not what the thing i have is #it has nothing to do with salt. salt is a fun little coincidence that it can help with water retention which in turn helps with POTS #and it raises blood pressure is i think the other reason? but anyway idk i would honestly rather she just not know about it than have like #that very particular tiktok version of it like i am so glad for internet knowledge being spread and stuff and i mean. i guess even the posts #that i’m about to complain about are good for making people feel like they’re not alone. so maybe it’s fine. but i was going to complain of #the videos that are like ‘‘that one POTS friend’’ and it’s just like. salty food. instead of like. having to sit down?? BEING FATIGUED?? #and like whatever. whatEVER but i wish it wasn’t getting conflated with one particular little way of treating it. even though i use that way #i don’t have needs-a-lot-of-salt-disease. like that’s not the point. that’s not the issue. it’s not a salt deficiency. salt just helps #and it doesn’t FIX it. it just helps. that’s all #ANYWAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. i feel sick though. but i’m gonna sleep and i’ll be fine #i miss before i had a job cause then i could sleep all day if i skipped class and it would be really nice. but now i have a job i would be #missing on my responsibilities for. and I don’t actually have accommodations. but im gonna sleep i’ll be fine #and library book cart is actually so rollator. like as far as being able to walk the library situation is such a win #anyway i’m gonna go to sleep now. but yeah idk i’m sick and a mess what else is new. but i have something whatever i’m good theres something #unrequited love for life or something like that. ok im gonna go to bed sorry for being weird and strange all the time!!!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later

psst for my stream regulars

How does the idea of me starting streams at like 1:30PM (EST) sound. i’ll still plan to run them to like 5:00PM (EST) but now its more definite it’ll actually end then opposed to accidentally going on until like. 7:30PM (EST)

Also im on mobile so i cant make a poll so you gotta let me know through like a comment or somethin ok ty

#snap chats #maybe end even sooner at like 4:50 idk point is how does this sound... #ik everyone shows up for the 3:30 time but im also wondering if 1 is just really too early for some people #maaaaybe 2 if not ??? #reason for the time switch is that my moms starting to like. actually use our gym equipment now #and all of thats in the basement. Where I Hang Out #and she’s been getting home just a bit earlier nowadays so im tryig to play it safe #i dont want this arrangement to be permanent and if things go my way for once it shouldnt be #but just for now.. #if its not alright then i’ll prob have to pause on streaming for a bit #not forever just. A Bit until i get some personal things sorted #‘personal things’ Wow So Im Not Oversharing For Once leave me ALONE its a complicated situation so we’re going with Personal Things #ok im gonna enjoy my walk. or try to #my therapist is making me take my blood pressure daily and yesterday it was like #149/107 or something and i was like ‘yeah i might as well have high blood pressure’ #luckily. or unluckily to me i just took my blood pressure wrong #‘snap how the fuck do you manage that’ I Am Very Stupid. I Am An Idiot Even anyway i didnt know i had to sit POINT IS #took it today and it was actually a Normal reading but man it Would Not be unbelievable if i had HBP #when my dad was with my mom he had HBP all the time and as soon as he got out he was at a normal level... lol... #ok enough rambling bye #im lying I Had That bout myself cause theres a stereotype with filipinos #where bitches just Cannot Say Goodbye like fam will say ‘bye’ and talk another ten minutes and i keep proving it true ENOUGH #BYE FR THIS TIME PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW WE FEEL BOUT THIS TIME SHIFT

Why would you wish your neighbors to fkn die just because they make noise?

gosh some ppl are way too sensitive and cant handle ppl saying anything at all huh

#bc im angry and they are RUINING MY DAY EVERY SINGLE DAY #bc they make noise that wouldnt be heard if they didnt live in next to empty apartments #bc im extremely nosie sensitive and get sensory overload very easily and noise makes me suicidal and homicidal #good for you that you dont care!!!! you are FORTUNATE for not being this heavily affected by noise. you're not better than me. ur lucky #grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it makes me so annoyed that ppl like u just cant handle mentally ill ppl VENTING. #am i sending them death threats? no. am i beating them up? no. am i sending complaints to them? no. i am enduring my suffering #bc we live in a world where nobody cares abt ppl who arent normal. i am in genuine physical pain bc of this everyday #do u think this is fun for me???? do u think i want to be like this? no! i'd kille to be like u who can walk unaffected thru life!!!!!! #do u think i enjoy spending my days in agony just bc noise upsets me? i cant fkn focus on my school work!!!!!!! or anything else!!!!!!!!! #do u know that there is NOTHING i can do? i have to accept a life of daily torment bc im noise sensitive #if society allowed me i'd live in specific apartments designed for noise sensitive ppl. or in a cottage on the countryside #but society dont give a fuck abt ppl who diverge from being normal #also omfg just bc i vent and say i wish they died dont mean i actually genuinely want them to die #why are y'all so black and white?????? why is it so hard to understand that just bc u express smth in anger dont mean u ACTUALLY want it #tbh y'all are too much. and fkn unfair. ppl are actually allowed to vent in anger and let out steam and not suppress their emotions #i have never done anything to cause another person harm. i even have high blood pressure bc im so stressed out yet i never do anything #i have done NOTHING to harm my neighbors. the only thing i do is vent on my blog #do u really think theyre magically gonna die just bc i vent abt it??????? #bro fuck off you made me even angrier like if u cant handle ppl expressing ugly thoughts #u and i are not compatible bc *i* know that u need to express things u might not even mean #but u clearly dont and need everyone to be uwu peace and love and perfect so just leave me alone go awayyyyyyyyyyy

Hey y’all! Weird question time!  Can getting an injection that includes something you have a food allergy to* make you more sensitized/reactive to that thing, or to your allergies in general, for a while afterwards? I’m allergic to acetic acid, and there’s acetic acid in the Moderna vaccine (and booster). I still got the vaccine (and boosters), even though I had an allergic reaction every time**, but some things with tiny amounts of acetic acid I used to be able to eat were an issue for a while after each shot*** Oh wait side note: same question but for taking the thing you are allergic to as in inactive ingredient in pill form (found out the hard way that some inactive ingredients in pills are made from acetic acid! still trying to figure out if that’s the thing I was allergic to in that pill, or if I’m just separately allergic to one of the inactive ingredients in it) *like, not those desensitization shot things allergists can do, but as an inactive ingredient in a different thing **it was kind of a “better the devil you know” situation. The allergic reaction I had to the Moderna one was unpleasant but handleable. I have no idea if I’m allergic to the Pfizer one, or how bad the reaction would be ***generally not a good idea to eat a food you know you’re allergic to, but I’m on a lot of antihistamines and sometimes you just want refried beans in your burritos even though you know vinegar is on the ingredients list. It’s the last ingredient on the list, and vinegar is only like less than 10% acetic acid, so I can usually tolerate it just fine

#the person behind the yarn #tj asks weird questions #medical mention #injection mention #allergy mention #my allergic reactions tend to have five different categories of symptoms (not including hives which I pretty much don't get anymore): #nausea headache high blood pressure tachycardia and low blood pressure #all of them are unpleasant but the nausea/headache (causing more nausea)/high blood pressure (making the headache worse) combo #is the one that lands me in the hospital #not everything I am allergic to causes all five reactions #and generally once I get past the nausea stage my blood pressure drops dramatically #injected and pill form acetic acid both skip the nausea/high blood pressure stage and most of the headache #and just land HARD on low blood pressure/tachycardia #which sucks! I am stuck on the couch for days! but I have meds for that #and don't need to go to the hospital for that #(I end up in the hospital because the nausea/migraine/hypertension loop gets me to the 'can't orally rehydrate' state very very quickly) #(also because doctors really don't like when your resting heart rate is in the 160s) #(because of my other health issues I am RIDICULOUSLY susceptible to dehydration) #(I've mostly learned to head off those reactions though)

(small rant)

#looool not my dad going on a homophobic rant so randomly yesterday night…. he was talking to my lil brother on how to act properly when he #goes to uni saying to be careful and look after your drink cause people be spiking then he was explaining how some boy in uni got his drink #spiked by someone (maybe his friends) and apparently he got m*lested then my dad went on his homophobic rant cause apparently was men who #done it???? but why u bringing up gay people when a man got m*lested?? that doesn’t make sense like how far did u have to reach?? anyways i #clapped back at him and said that those two doors not correlate with each other and people can love who they want to love it isn’t your #business. but anyways yeah he realised showed himself to be a homophobic ass loser my mum wanted to hype up and defend him like gurl you #know damn well that i got to gay pride events and i know you’re just talking cause u wanna impress him (loser ass pick me) but yeah my #parents will never have that access to me when it comes to who i’m dating romantically because of the face i’m a lesbian they will never #know they hardly know who i am anyways ESPECIALLY MY DAD loser ass #like how embarrassing is it you’re a hating ads loser allowing that colonising christianity to hate on innocent people trying to live their #life like your high blood pressure is raising up for no reason other than your pressed #like how do you understand racism so damn well but you cannot put 1 + 1 together and see that christianity has done a number on us and our #igbo culture africian queer people have always existed it was not a western 🙄 thing ffs

hm.

#i am. quite annoyed when i tell my family i do not wish to eat unhealthy very often #and when i explain nutritional value i get ignored #even mocked and laughed at #the internet has ruined humanity. if you eat unhealthy foods it will cause an influx of issues like diabetes and high blood pressure #and other various sort of issues. like obesity as well. #i am. Literally. a former fat person. i used to be big. i used to take low dose aspirin often bc i was scared id have a heart attack #i Had sleep apnea. eating unhealthy here and there in small doses is fine but if thats all youre eating you WILL have issues!!!! #when i began eating healthier my body and health improved. /I/ feel better. i cant work out rn bc of my ankle #BUT ive been making it up by eating extra nutritional foods. sure. i had an unhealthy dinner on friday and even some alcohol. #but i do not make that a habit. #im not telling people that they HAVE to eat healthy or anything. im just annoyed that voices like mine get shut down and labelled as bs #aka ''ftphbia'' and then told im intolerant and WRONG abt health #when I MYSELF EXPERIENCED THIS SHIT AND FELT BETTER WHEN I BETTERED MY EATING HABITS #im not ''blessed'' for my thin/curvy body. i had to WORK to get it. i gain weight VERY easily and STRUGGLE to lose it #im proud of how far ive come. im proud of how im not as big as i used to be. im proud that im much healthier now. #and yet despite my mom formerly telling me i needed to lose weight? now shes scoffing at me pointing out nutritional value in food??? #bruh. #ill delete this later i just need to vent

god i love health insurance in this country

#would love it if it did literally anything #got to love the news that it won't cover anything at all for me in this surgery! #anyway i can still afford it and im still happy about it but like finances are so tight for me rn lmao. #its like. part of the reason ive been waiting so long for this is the pride and knowledge that i should not have to pay anything for #medical care under a just and correct system and having to set my standards aside and grovel for the fucking. necessary and life saving #stuff i need to not feel horrible and disgusting and ugly every day of my life is debasing and dehumanizing #to sum it u #i'm just really frustrated rn. #its so hard to like... go get help or do anything for myself in the first place ever because like. every single time i try to do anything i #get slapped with the harshest penalties known to mankind #you could argue that i could have tried to find a different doctor or whatever but i need my hand held through everything and i still think #that this one was the proper and correct choice based on that #anyway. i have the lump sum. i dunno if i should try to finance it to make myself not feel like i have no money or what. #maybe ill try to open comissions or something but idk if i even have time for that #like im still going to send them the request to reimburse me for my fucking medical bills anyway and i know theyre not going to because #fuck you. but still. id like a letter saying 'fuck you vintage go die and give me 10 grand' instead of just trusting some schmuck over the #phone about it. lmao. #im so tired. i need a break. #between this and work i think its killing me. #im hopeful my blood pressure isnt going to be too high for clearence lmao i am so fuckign worried about that because if it is then like. #nothing ive done at all to prepare for it has mattered at all #i need to be unemployed i am so tired of working for a living i just want to crawl in a hole and sleep for forever

hdhhkgkgk the nurse misread my profile as saying I'm allergic to serotonin. imagine.

#my family has historically not reacted well to ssris which is apparently called serotonin syndrome but like #im picturing literally being allergic to happiness #also somehow my blood pressure is fine which is wild #i figured it'd be through the roof #but then again. you know like when you're really tired but can't sleep and you reach a point wjere you've Transcended sleepiness #ive gone way past that with stress. i just Cannot process any more stress and am now just vibing #which will not help anything whatsoever but i also have no fucking control over anything so it's not like there's anything else i can do #my blood pressure's also normally a liiiiiiiiittle bit on the high side so having it be in the normal side of things is even funnier
