#blood problem symptoms

[literallyaflame]

every time i go to the doctor it seems like there’s always one (1) thing about my blood work/exam/medical history/whatever that confuses and upsets them. there’s always something SLIGHTLY wrong. i for one have accepted the fact that my body is weird and doesn’t make sense, so it’s always kind of fun when they’re like “wow. you shouldn’t be like this, but there’s no explanation for it, and you’re not dying, so. carry on i suppose”

#on today’s episode the nurse called my symptom bizarre and i watched the doctor pause to google something twice #fhsjfhd #it’s just an allergy problem i’m not dying #nothing will ever be as funny as the time that my blood pressure was so weird they did an ekg #and the ekg was so weird that they sent me to get an echocardiogram #at which point they were like nah you’re just Like That #i was originally at the doctor for a routine checkup ghsjfhdjdh

Why does it feel like the world is falling down around me? Why do I only want to sleep? Why do I find no joy in anything?

I've been forgetting my Vitamin D supplement, and I have a serious deficiency. Plus, I won't see the sun on a regular basis until May. Ope.

#don't forget to take vitamin d friends #deficiency symptoms are depression anxiety high blood pressure and a whole load of other problems

i had a pretty strong panic attack last night, seemingly out of nowhere. since then i’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out the trigger, and i think i just realized what it was: an episode of 90s sitcom frasier. which is honestly pretty funny to me after the fact

#look there’s an episode where niles has a toothache but no dental issue #and it turns out it’s referred pain from some kind of heart problem #and the whole episode before he figures it out he’s like well what are the chances of that happening to me #but then a bunch of equally unlikely things happens #anyways i’ve had a toothache for the past 3.5 years but there’s nothing wrong with the tooth #also my family has a history of heart/blood problems #also my learned reaction to feeling sick is to say ‘well the chances of it being seriously are extremely low’ #also i haven’t been to the doctor in any real way since oh idk… 2016? 2015? #sure i’ve gone for specific illnesses and symptoms but no physicals or anything #so i stopped the episode when it came up (i’ve seen it already) and kind of forgot about it #but then 15 minutes later i was facedown on the floor hyperventilating #¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know. I'm really starting to understand why they guess lupus in every fucking episode bc every single time some weird medical thing pops up i look it up and the cause is always Always Fucking Lupus

#personal #teddy talks #seriously tho its ridiculous #i literally have Symptom Disease #the weirdest thing i figured out is actually fucking mental (which. psychosis is also a symptom bc why tf not?) #but ive had hearing problems since i was a kid. ive also worn glasses for a good decade or so. both of those are because of lupus #and its super commonly misdiagnosed just bc its so vast #it has nearly all the same symptoms as diabetes but no blood sugar problems #also the same symptoms as narcolepsy including seizure activity #and pcos #and schizophrenia #and fibromyalgia #and aids #literally name a big scary disease and ill bet $100 that lupus can present with the same symptoms #this time im mad bc sometimes i get this thing where the roof of my mouth hurts too much to eat. wanna guess why? #also as im typing this im getting the fucking shakes bc....you guessed it! lupus. #thats probably the most and least realistic part of the show #most bc its could literally cause any problem on the face of the fucking earth practically #least bc its never diagnosed like ever. i only have a half hand-wavy 'probably' bc my moms entire side of the family has it or similar #autoimmune stuff and i have the rashes on my face and hands #but like. i camt get treated bc i cant get diagnosed bc it can only be diagnosed by one particular test #thats fucking stupid expensive and comes bqck inconclusive over 70% of the time unless youre dying or over 45 #dont quote me on that stat thats just what my gp said years ago #which i barely remember bc lupus fucks w your memory #also! also. they say theres all these diseases that 'mimic' lupus right like sjorgens and hashimotos and rheumatoid arthritis but like #you know what also can appear as secondary disorders (might i say symptoms) with lupus?? sjorgens and hashimotos and rheumatoid arthritis #every single disease that 'mimics' lupus can also be ACTUAL SYMPTOMS OF LUPUS #theyre not even comorbid at this point theyre straight up symptoms #even other diseases that arent lupus ARE STILL LUPUS #edit: the stat is actually that it reports a whopping 30% chance of a false positive. but its also much more conclusive after 35 y/o

does anybody have any advice on seeking a diagnosis for chronic fatigue or just like. a chronic illness in general? I don't know how to bring up something specific like that w my doctor without like... seeming like I'm trying to diagnose myself and being dismissed

#I've never actually had a real appointment w this doctor before either so I don't rlly know what to expect from him yknow #I don't want to just pointedly bring up symptoms either #every time I've gone to the doctor before w problems they've either dismissed me #or been like okay we'll do some blood tests :^) and then nothing happens #so idk how to bring up a specific thing that I think is going and want medical evaluation of and help with #without coming off. a certain way idk #or being asked why I've never brought it up before if its been a problem like forever #and like. I have mental health stuff and insomnia and I don't want it to be brushed off as that... #anyway any advice woukd be much appreciated!!! #ghost posts #text

Every time I crack and start googling OBGYNs near me I learn all over again they don’t do jack shit for whatever I have and the urge is gone

#Hormonal bc is the first line of treatment - shut up shut up shut up #That does NOTHING #It hides symptoms does Lord know what’s to your mental state and can cause all sorts of problems as you age #Also blood clots and strokes no thanks

always fun to remind myself of the side effects of my thyroid meds

#the first time i treated my thyroid my endo was like ‘i havent had a patient who had this happen for a while so im due for one’ THANKS MAN #personal #im just waiting for it to hurry up and work. my health has PLUMMETED in the last week or so #im so sick and i can’t DO ANYTHING. including SLEEP. even if i was getting enough good sleep i was be exhausted but i’m not so. #the energy’s doing Great #and i’m so hungry all the time but also nauseous so all food is unappealing #genuinely have no idea how i made it through years 7-10 undiagnosed. no wonder i ended up with such a severe phobia of going to bed???????? #i don’t have to worry about routine right now so it’s not as stressful (just horrible because i’m so tired) but i COULDNT SLEEP back then #im just relieved that this time it was found through a routine check rather than me getting a test because of symptoms #usually i test when my anxiety gets really bad in a specific way #but my anxiety isn’t bad this time. no panic attacks and also no migraines. those are all usually the worst to deal with #so comparatively this isn’t even a particularly bad episode?/relapse?/flare? #still more sick than i’ve been in……..years? #im not sure if covid was better or worse. but it was only really bad for a week #this’ll be worse overall because it’ll last a lot longer #hopefully only a month or two but that’s still a few months of my life that just vanish. cool!!!!!!!!!!! #and there wasn’t even a notable event to trigger it this time. first time was whooping cough and subsequent times have been things like— #starting uni and then the last 2 years of uni where i took 10 units in one year then overworked myself doing my thesis #im SLIGHTLY worried that maybe i’ve developed rheumatoid arthritis and that set it off because it’s also autoimmune #i should see my gp soon to get a general antibody test. my joint have been so bad it’s been hard to walk for quite a few months #idk man it all sucks. but for now at least i have my white blood cells (even if they’re literally the problem lmao)

note to body: one chronic illness is more than enough. we don't need more

#had a really bad period this week #i'll spare you the details but let's just say it was quite literally a bloody mess #so i did some research and apparently even what i consider 'normal' periods are way above average #in terms of pain and blood flow #and i should really get it checked out #atm i think it's either endometriosis or uterine fibroids but i'll have to see a gynaecologist to make sure #problem is that for both of these conditions there isn't really any proper treatment #aside from 'take painkillers/hormones/the pill and hope for the best' #ugh ugh ugh #(technically i already had two chronic illnesses bc i've been diagnosed with me/cfs and pots #but they have very similar symptoms so i kinda just view them as one thing) #chronic illness fuckery

[dilfsisko]

‘The blood tests were normal,’ why don’t you just kill me now?

#els.txt #my friend is going through some health stuff and is having the very common chronic illness problem of ‘nothing shows up on blood work’ #we’ve all been there #and doctors and ableds are always like ‘oh but that’s a good thing isn’t it??’ #no! no it is not! because you still feel like shit and NOW you’re left wondering if you’re imagining your own symptoms

ok in honor of my nursing school graduation next week send me a ❤️‍🩹 and i'll give u a personalized silly/cute 'nursing' diagnosis !!

#nursing dx format is [problem] related to [cause] as evidenced by [symptom] so like #'ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion related to reduced arterial blood flow as evidenced by lower left extremity numbness' #but for u all . i'll come up with a way to make it personalized and for fun teehee like #idk . i'll have to think about it . under any other circumstance nursing dxs are like my worst enemy but #this is what i came up with for a themed grad game so ! #if i am struggling tew much . i'll back pedal and think of something else JKNDSGJHB

I know I’ve said this before, but I’m really really sorry to have been gone so long. I had a very medically difficult few months but I really appreciate everyone’s patience. I feel really bad about having been gone from here and fictionkin hell, but I appreciate everyone not bombarding me with questions like “where are you, why has it been so long, when will you do my request?” I’m sure it just didn’t cross you guys’ minds to ask because I have a history of inconsistent posting, but I genuinely appreciate just being given some space nonetheless. As of right now, requests are technically closed, but I’ll be working through everything in the inbox once my fatigue starts to let up. Thanks again for everyone’s patience, I hope to be back soon!

#<<static.txt>> ; important posts #medical TW for the rest of the tags: #I got diagnosed with a minor form of dysautonomia this summer #which it turns out I’ve had for years and has been the cause of my constant fatigue #as well as my heart and blood pressure problems #sooner or later (latest being next month) I’ll be getting in to hopefully get some heart or blood pressure meds to help manage symptoms #that should make me less tired all around! so I should be able to do more #it also doesn’t help that I got autism beamed and have been hyperfixated on my own ocs lol

I think I might be a little sick in the head because I was thinking about that person who likes getting surgeries bc it's fun and I was like oooh that's so me. I love having medical things done to me. It's so cool and interesting. I love it when they stick monitors on me or use ultrasounds to look in my body. When I have a weird medical procedure/test coming up I tell people about it like it's an exciting activity. I look forward to it. If I didn't have vasovagal syncope from needles I'd be one of those people who watches when the nurse inserts the IV and I'd be all interested talking about it with them. That's not normal is it

#i have a doctor's appointment coming up to investigate why i've been suddenly having debilitating vertigo and brain shocks #my two hypotheses are hypothyroidism and pernicious anemia. i'm gonna get blood tests. and i'm all excited about it #medical stuff is fascinating and my own body is a conglomerate of weird fucking medical problems so i get to experience it through that #if it isn't either hypothyroidism or anemia though my enthusiasm is going to drop and i'm going to start getting scared though #because as much as i find it interesting my fear of having neurological problems like epilepsy or a brain tumor is greater #the symptoms came on suddenly one day last week and it felt like i was having weird seizures over and over

[dogbunni]

I was telling my mother about some interesting Symptoms™ I've been having and putting them all together like that. maybe I'm stressed because my body is falling apart. that might be a cause. like

#like oh my god. girl help im having symptoms even doctors dont know what to with #i told her about the last time i saw a dr for one particular health issue and he told me if i were older he'd investigate for cancer #but bc im young he isnt going to bother #and then just sent me on my way without much follow up like 'if it gets worse its probably fine and dont come back' #and she was very concerned #im still not sure how concerned i have to be about it #bc if it was a real medical problem then he wouldve said come back if it gets worse #but also im in pain and bleeding all of the time and as time goes on my body seems to be like getting worse at performing certain tasks #and developing more and worse symptoms #i should maybe get a second opinion on that one but im also right in the middle of testing for my high blood pressure #and also going back forth with gender clinic about surgery #and trying to manage my disabilities #and trying to care for my terminally ill cat #so like i dont have the TIME #or the energy #i DO wish my body could hold it together for like a minute #a breather would be good rn #dogbunni diary log #sorry again. have no one to vent to #i cant bother my parents too much about this bc they worry enough about me as it is and have enough stress in their lives

my mom : getting mad cause i didnt go to school all week

me, about to pop a fucking lung from coughing due to the covid she gave me

#like girl. tf do you want me to do. YOU gave me covid #sorry my symptoms are lasting for longer than yours. #what the fuck am i supposed to do abt the fact that you dont care abt the fact that im asthmatic and got other breathing problems #atp im almost coughing up blood fron fucking up my throat by coughing so hard and youre worried abt school. hello. #(coughing blood from like. a scratched and sore throat not like a Dying type of situation but like still.) #''nah but its fine covid lasts for a few days and then youre back to normal lol the only ppl who have severe cases are old and sick ppl'' #like. i AM a sick person. #sorry that my symptoms are lasting longer than yours. maybe thatll make you understand why its important to halt the spread of the virus nd #not force ourselves to go into public places sick (no it wont)

[fruitless-vain]

Fucking. Close. Enough.

#I’m so full #I have a constant pressure in my head #I feel nauseous #I initially thought it was instantly helping but all the dizzy symptoms came back full force this evening #logically I know #that this isn’t an instant solution or even a solution at all #it’s a temporary attempt to just increase blood volume while we sort out the problem #and maybe see improvements #but man today has been so hard #I didn’t expect new symptoms to start up because of it #not a good day

Hey y’all! Weird question that’s kind of a longshot. It’s about vaccines and allergies (based on my specific allergy history)

If I’m allergic to the flu vaccine*, not allergic to the Moderna covid vaccine**, and not allergic to eggs, do you have any ideas what in the flu vaccine I could be allergic to/what other vaccines I am likely to be allergic to***? *for once, it was like a normal allergic reaction? huge hive at the injection site (handprint sized) that turned into a bad bruise, but no other symptoms. My doctor said that even though it was a relatively minor reaction, I should not get the flu vaccine again, because of my history of severe allergic reactions. **I did have a reaction to the covid vaccine, but my doc and I are both pretty sure it wasn’t an allergic reaction, it was an “anything stressing my immune system makes my adrenals be even more wrong than they already are”. Basically, my blood pressure TANKED for three days after my last dose, I got bad chills, but had none of my usual allergic reaction symptoms.  ***from what I could find, egg allergies are the one people usually worry about with flu vaccines, but I eat eggs all the time with no problems

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #injection mention #vaccine mention #allergy mention #please let me know if I need to add any tags for blacklisting purposes #by 'normal allergic reaction' I mean 'possibly actually IgE mediated' #instead of my usual 'weird as hell allergies caused by my mast cells freaking out' #which is how I am literally allergic to my own anger. no joke. allergic to my own anger #I am also allergic to my sister! Which is absolutely a joke but also absolutely true #she's an asthma trigger because she consumes so many essential oils #my adrenal problems are...known but not known? #several doctors of several different specialties have said SOMETHING is wrong with them #but no one knows WHAT. current prevailing theory is Addison's disease that just hasn't destroyed my adrenals enough to show up on tests yet #they have ruled out a bunch of things! the problem is. they have ruled out everything. but I clearly have Symptoms of Adrenal Problems #(apparently recovering from moderate allergic reactions doesn't usually cause lingering low blood sugar problems?) #(the look on my doctor's face when I mentioned it was pretty funny though) #anyway point is I have no idea and can only find the egg allergy thing
