Hmm. That comic gave me the idea to get a tiny jar necklace and put a single important pill on it to wear, but which of my meds should I keep close to my heart?

#not Valium because i so don't want to get in trouble for carrying a controlled substance like that #lamotrigine #aripiprazole #hyoscyamine #spellcheck on that last one #truvada #hmm emergency PrEP has a good ring to it #tho it's a pretty big pill #so is Allegra #everything else is vitamins or injections #oh wait #celebrex #cyclobenzaprine #tylenol otc #i know the in the original comic it was hrt but I'm tagging this post as #cripplepunk

I just called my primary care provider. They can see me Monday, May 6th at 10:00 (in the morning) to discuss continuing celebrex, going on PrEP, iron levels, and my thyroid. I gotta sign in at 9:45 that day. I will call my insurance for a ride as soon as it's closer to that date. Whoever put my appointment in explained they do prescribe PrEP there, so it definitely won't be a problem.

October 4th, 2023: It's Going to be a Long Day

Image by helpsg from Pixabay It is after 7 p.m. and this is usually around the time I take my meds, but I am in for a long night. I have to stay up until after midnight to get training to be a ghostwriter again. I’m going to still work my 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. shift at UCCH, and then when I get home, I can start working on articles. I’ve been wanting to get back into writing articles again, but that…

Who wants some TMI?

Here we go anyway.

I don't know how many of you all were around a few years ago, but it was pretty common for me to literally not be able to get through a work day (sedentary work, sitting at a cubicle/desk, working at a computer) without taking mass amounts of anti-inflammatories. I was given a prescription for celebrex in my early 30s, in high doses. Even my doctor was like "we normally reserve this for people with heavy arthritis in their 60s and up". I moved to working overnights partially because of the pay hike, and partially because it tends to rain less during that shift, so I was able to miss fewer hours.

Then things went sideways. I was the reason the flashing lights showed up at a friend's wedding (love you guys!) and as a result I had to get titanium rods put in my ankle. Then the same ankle re-broke, bent the titanium rods, and the screws, and one of the screws broke. The surgery was repeated but better.

Last year I finally found a doctor willing to do imaging on my reproductive system. He immediately was like THIS GETS YEETED RIGHT NOW. Within two months everything but my ovaries were yoinked out. Which is a good thing. It turns out my uterus was twice the size it should have been because of benign growths, it had attached itself to my intestines and were pulling them out of shape, and a few other things that were sending everything pretty much from the ribs down into a pretty bad state of "not healthy". Why am I saying this?

Because today, it's raining. Less than six months ago I would be trying to sleep through the pain. Today, my ankle is a touch sore, one hip is a little grouchy, and I'm whining about having to do grocery shopping in the wet. This is a damned good improvement. I am thankful every day that somebody finally listened. But days like this really punctuate the difference.

okay!!! i just got out of the ME/CFS appointment. in short i got a confirmed diagnosis and some treatment options. they believe that ME/CFS is due to neural inflammation so that’s what they’re addressing.

(warning: mention of food and medication)

their three pillars are

1. preemptive rest breaks and pacing myself

2. anti-inflammatory diet such as the mediterranean diet and fermented food

3. anti-inflammatory meds. A) low dose naltrexone between .5 and 6 mg. B) low dose abilify. C) celebrex/celecoxib

i’m having blood tests done and trying the LDN in a couple weeks. until then, i’m giving the lower dose of topiramate/topamax a try to see if the pain reduction is worth the fatigue. i’ll report back in a month

phew. so glad this np took me seriously

Where's that one post scare mongering about ibuprofen and Tylenol I want to have Words even as someone who is in the demographic that it's dangerous to take ibuprofen

#like don't crunch any pills like candy but Tylenol and NSAIDs are like the safest things the majority of people can take #God i wish i wasn't out of Tylenol rn #celebrex blessed celebrex tho 🙏

[kittenzeke]

Lovelace already called me back. They want me to come in on the 13th at 11:30am (in the morning.) That is a Wednesday. I've got to call my insurance and schedule the ride ASAP.

When I get the ride company on the phone, I need to remember one of my rides to the methadone clinic needs to be for 6:00am next week, not 5:00am because the doctor wants to follow up with me about a dose change.

I'm still too exhausted to go back to art therapy, but maybe I'll pick a day next week anyway. I'm thinking of the ceramics group on Thursday. Hopefully nothing I had in progress got thrown out.

As for primary care, I want them to check me for anemia/check my iron, check my thyroid, initiate the steps to get me on PrEP, and refill my celebrex already.

I also am going to look into taking Tylenol and turmeric capsules on a regular basis to take some of the edge off when it comes to pain.

actually its fucking ludicrous my doctor has never given me painkillers for this. the celebrex and lyrica he gave isnt helping. i wake up in instant pain EVERY FUCKING DAY how am i meant to live like this. how am i meant to want to be alive like this. i just want the fucking pain to stop

[truthwithlight]

um... there's a very large chance i'll have to go on humira in a month since my celebrex isn't working, so i gotta ask. has anyone here with trypanophobia needed to go on humira, and if so, how painful of a poke from covid shot (0) to hpv vaccine (10) is it?

obviously the pen would be a better choice because i don't have to actually view the needle. have any of you been able to build up the confidence to do your injections at home? because i feel like i could be okay with being at home and self-administering (my parents could too but i'd like to work towards getting over my fear) since it would be a safer environment mentally than a doctor's office.

any other advice or encouragement is also appreciated even if you don't have trypanophobia :]

So I’ve been on Celebrex for like 3 1/2 months now, had to stop taking it recently because it was giving me some GNARLY nausea and oh boy. Oh goodness. I did not realize HOW MUCH Celebrex was helping me until I had to stop taking it entirely.

Like it wasn’t completely curing me or anything, I was still having constant joint pain and fatigue, but it made my symptoms… semi-manageable? Kinda? Like I truly forgot just HOW bad it felt to have my pain go untreated.

Luckily after my last intense flare up I made sure to really build my work schedule around my pain and prepare things to run on their own incase I needed to take it easy for a while but holy shit. I feel Very Bad™️ right now.

jesus christ so like what i thought was just IBS for the past year has actually been GI irritation from celebrex the whole time. despite being acutely ill in my respiratory tract my guts have been actually doing pretty well. i took some yesterday for the first time in a week cause my joints were in so much pain and like clockwork i was shitting fire this morning. NSAIDs are fucking evil. all this time and the motherfuckers still don't have anything better for me than "well you don't have to take it if you don't want to (:"

Where the fuck did people read “your conditions aren’t as bad so you should shut the fuck up” ANYWHERE on the post of you saying how conditions are different and aren’t always able to be compared because some people genuinely have it worse but that doesn’t mean less severe conditions aren’t bad and don’t come with ease

also you and morg aren’t the same, you don’t have a metal spine and you don’t post about his on your own anyway? What the fuck?

Oh you mean this post?

I don’t get why it’s so hard to understand that “some people have it worse than you and your experiences might be related (like my osteoarthritis compared to someone’s rheumatoid arthritis) but it doesn’t mean that they’re the exact same” isn’t the same as “people have it worse, shut up it isn’t that bad and you don’t have a voice here ever” I’ve had to take diclofenac, toradol, tramodol, cymbalta and celebrex to manage just my arthritis pain. Some people have to take weekly injections to slow their spine from fusing together because of their arthritis. It isn’t the same thing.

honestly you’re not gonna stop someone from saying things they think/know are true, and I’m not even the one saying it. I’m sure people are saying the same damn thing just more “meaner” than me because they’re sick of being called shitty things for saying their truth. I get it, and I don’t get offended by it because it has nothing to do with me. Their reality doesn’t affect mine, it doesn’t make me clutch my pearls because I’m aware that two people’s experiences won’t ever be fully comparable.

And the reality is one disabled person, no matter the shared experiences of another, will have limitations for what they truly understand about other disabled people.

Also morg and I are mutuals, so we share opinions but his words aren’t mine and mine have nothing to do with him unless specifically stated; no one from my blog (or anyone) should be attacking him just because they think he’s mean for being very understandably upset that people automatically assume that every single disabled person has the right to talk over him about his own struggles that so many people don’t understand and no one that has an issue with what he posts on his own blog should blur the lines between me and him as our own individual person (no one should try to do that ever, with any blog), I literally know as much as he shares on here, we live across the country from eachother, I know zilch, nada except for what I’m able to read. Why? Because he isn’t me!!

I don’t understand the spine thing, I don’t understand my moms struggles with her Harrington rod in her back, and I don’t understand the pins in morgs spine

so why the hell would I sit here and berate him and tell him “I know exactly how it is because I have arthritis and my pain is literally the same” like???

I saw your post about AxSpA and getting medication for it (a few months late I know) and the only thing my rheumatologist ever prescribed was ibuprofen or a different nsaid, the best one was etoricoxib, the only minor inconvenience is that I am allergic to it and had to find out the hard way. She doesn’t want to put me on immunosuppressants until I show signs of fusion (cause of insurance in my country so switching to a different rheumy wouldn’t work) so yea, I haven’t gotten anything that *truly* helps

hey sorry this is a fucking nightmare. do you have like patient advocates accessible to you you should ABSOLUTELY be on a biologic or some equivalent the goal is to PREVENT fusion in the first place. i've been on cimzia and then simponi for years without fusion and am grateful for it every day i. man i'm really sorry if there's Anything you can do i really do recommend and support pushing as hard as you can for real treatment. it's so lucky to be able to get a diagnosis Without fusion your rheum should be taking advantage of that to help you ☹️☹️☹️

re the rest of it i'm banned from otc nsaids because i'm on celebrex lol. SAD. sorry about your allergy that just happened to a friend of mine as well and it really sucks 😭😭😭

#i'm actually doing a bit better lately :) my rheum is awesome and has been referring me for all kinds of stuff #feel free to come off anon also btw i love to chat arthritis! #genuinely good luck out there also. wishing your rheum a very grow a brain ☹️ #asks #anonymous #the problems #at the very least you should request gabapentin and/or steroids btw. low dose prednisone is awesome and gabapentin's like a miracle drug
