#autoimmune flare

[spookysalem13]

I've been sick with covid-19 for about a week or so now. Today is the first day I've woken up and I finally feel better than I did the day before.

My autoimmune diseases have been having a rough time fighting off the virus 🦠, it's sent me into a major flare, which has been more pain.

But my fever has finally broke. I can hear again, though my ears still ache.

I think I'm pretty much past the covid-19, I'll probably be fully through it in a day or two. But what I'm left with is an autoimmune and fibromyalgia flare.

This has really sucked, but I'm grateful 🙏 that my body was able to get through this.

I'm hoping by tomorrow I will be able to return to work. Masked 😷 up, and I will just have to deal with my flares. Because ya dude needs money 😅.

It is pretty awful 😖 that in this world, the chronically ill, like myself, still have to work when we're this sick, just to keep going.

Our government nor our employeers have our back.

I am very lucky 🍀 to have a manager whose very understanding of my illnesses and to work on a team where everyone is caring and considerate of each other.

It makes working during my flares slightly more tolerable.

One more day at home, then I head back tomorrow.

Compassion for one’s self includes being okay (and fighting that feeling of guilt) about disappointing people.

Especially when you work in healthcare.

Especially when you really are trying your best and making progress on your goals.

Especially when you’re ill, on antibiotics, chronically fatigued, burnt out, traumatized and really aggressively working on your therapy…

Like I’m much better than last year, but today I’m feeling like I’m burning up and these antibiotics are making me feel worse. I still don’t know if I have an infection or not. I likely won’t know until next Tuesday.

I must trust that *I* will be fine and be okay despite anything that happens - including being let go.

I need a true break to just really recover. I’m pushing through and working because I’m not eligible for FMLA yet. And like I’m gonna make the hours up later despite having disability accommodations.

would any of you sweethearts in tumblr town be willing to help me get some severe cold meds, soup & maybe some ice cream for my throat? i am feeling so fucking miserable on top of my pain & muscle fatigue from all of my traveling. ooh, and i have heat rash because the airports were fucking sweltering flying back after spreading my da's ashes. did you know you could bleed a bunch through calamine? because i sure didn't!

i am more than happy to send cute things as a thank you as long as pics/vids that i already have are ok because i feel like fucking death.

please never apologize if you cannot help! i understand money is tight for many & i appreciate your genuine care either way.

luv, cuddles & cauldron bubbles, the ghost queen

loving reminder to my fatigue friends that if you are supposed to be resting for health reasons (whether you have cfs/me, some kind of post-viral fatigue, or other chronic illnesses causing fatigue), this does include your brain and spending your time in bed reading mentally and emotionally draining news for hours will not be helping and may be doing actual harm

#this is a reminder for myself #'why am i hitting a fatigue wall I've done so much less this week' #idk néide maybe because all the time you're sitting down or in bed you're bombarding your brain with awful shit to process #i know it feels bad to turn away from the bad shit #but. genuinely. sometimes you have to because negative mental stimulation is pushing you into a flare-up #generalised autoimmune fuckery

i feel like im in the beginning of a legitimate (meaning medically very serious) crohns flare but im not sure……

i thought maybe it’s the psilocybin microdosing I’ve been doing the last few days? so I looked it up and actually psilocybin acutely and persistently reduces the concentrations of TNF-alpha, interleukins, and c-reactive protein in the body, which are inflammatory markers relevant to crohns….. in other words psilocybin reduces the inflammatory activity involved in/causing crohns. just like humira works by reducing TNF-alpha activity specifically to keep crohns from flaring up. thats amazing and im shocked i never knew that before now

however………. it does not answer the question of whether im having a flare up and why. if anything it just raises more questions.

also i fucking did my humira shot last night!!!! so if this is a flare then that is REALLY bad news because it means humira isn’t working anymore

#pray god it isn’t a flare #PRAY GOD #autoimmune disease #crohns #note to self

Today I hate my body.

Not my looks, not how strong my muscles are, not even how it's hard to think things through.

I hate how, because of my immune system, my body feels like this, and not matter how I describe it people won't understand, and even if they did, it doesn't matter because it doesn't make it better.

I just hate bad days

"didn't you have a ticket to one of the good omens season 2 screenings?"

er...

"you did. you were making a huge deal out of it in the chat. what happened to it?"

(mutters inaudibly) I gave it away

"you WOT?????"

(┬┬﹏┬┬)

#good omens #in my defence it's because I found out there wouldn't be subtitles so I'd be having a visual-only experience #plus the cost of the train and the logistics of staying overnight were just not lining up right #and i'm in the middle of a REALLY bad autoimmune flare up right now so i can't really feel my legs or hands lmao #BUT I STILL WANTED TO MAKE IT WORK #accessibility

You’re not horrible for engaging in a reactive response to prolonged emotional and/or physical abuse.

They do it on purpose, and then they will use it against you. And you will think to yourself, “am I the abuser?”

Getting my wisdom teeth out on Thursday Nov 30th. It’s something I’ve been putting off for years. I have good teeth/genetics so it wasn’t really necessary. I’m about to start an immunosuppressant so I need to take extra precautions now. Getting my partially exposed wisdom teeth out was the last thing on my list before starting Methotrexate. Not looking forward to it of course but I really enjoyed the absence of pain when I was sedated for my endoscopy and they’re going to fully sedate me for this so at least that’s something to look forward to 🥲

advice is welcome 🙏

forget "your body is a wonderland"...

because my body? it's one of the many overgrown, deeply haunted theme parks left to rot and rust and be reclaimed by nature.

none of it....looks like it would collapse on top of you, were you to peek inside an attraction, but maybe keep an eye on the joints holding up the support beams, because the groans they're making when the wind blows is...alarming.
