#fuck chronic illness

[no-see-um-incorrect]

So I wanted to share a little thing 

i’m going to put the warning here I talk about ⚠️chronic illness⚠️ in this post. but I really wanted to talk about it because it’s really important to me and no one IRL really cares (and I also wanted to bring light in case someone sees this post who is like me)

⚠️Small vent also⚠️ please feel free to scroll away 

I have two things PCOS and Hashimoto’s disease (if you don’t want to Google it feel free to ask questions)

And one of the treatable affects of these chronic illnesses is insulin resistance which causes dryness and darkening of the skin (also known as Acanthosis Nigricans) in certain places (under the chin, the neck, elbows, armpits, etc.) and for the longest time I was told that it was something that I was doing wrong.

You’re not drinking enough water

You’re eating too much sugar

You’re not eating good enough 

You’re not exercising enough 

Never stopping to consider that there’s something going on that’s out of my control. And it wasn’t until around August of last year that I started going to the doctor and actually getting diagnosed with and treated for these illnesses. 

My skin started darkening when I was 10 and my self-esteem went to hell because of it. People would stare at me in the grocery store. Kids would come up and ask why I had a dark ring around my neck, people would look at me like I was doing something wrong even though I was confused why it was happening myself 

Anyway Lil vent over 

I’ve got good news 

My doctor put me on medication 

And it’s starting to go away pretty quickly to the point where you can only see it in certain lights  and I am so relieved and ecstatic about it.  Because I didn’t think it was going to go away 

I thought I would just have to cover it up with makeup or hoodies and necklaces forever. I thought I was gonna have to feel that pain of looking in the mirror and seeing it forever. 

But now it’s gone almost completely. And I’m starting to heal from years of not getting it treated.

So if you are/were  in the same boat as me. Knowing something is wrong but people treating you like you’re the problem or people ignoring you about it 

It may not seem like you’ll ever get better. But you will. WE WILL

We may not recover fully mentally or physically, but we will recover.

#sorry if this is stupid #chronic illness #fuck chronic illness #it really does get better #healing #I don’t know if this is the place to talk about this kind of stuff #hope this finds who it needs to #I hope this makes sense #hashimoto’s disease #pcos #insulin resistance

Vent post, TW Seizures:

It’s so frustrating being chronically ill, being disabled, and being told that nothing can be done about it.

“If you seize for over five minutes, call 911”

I constantly seize for over 5 minutes. After having 3 back to back seizures all over 30 minutes, and two other seizures later that day without warning, I went to the ER who told me “take your anti-depressants. Everything looks fine”.

I get that I’m not epileptic, I get that my seizures are non-epileptic. But they’re long and painful and disabling. I lose my memory, I aspirate, I contort and convulse. Anti-depressants aren’t going to help that. Especially when I feel perfectly fine, I’m just sending a text and then I fall and seize for 37 minutes!

I try not to complain. I try to grin and bear it. I know that’s all I can do. But it’s frustrating. I was doing better. I was getting better. And now suddenly I’m worse than ever before. It’s so discouraging. And I ask my neurologists for opinions and they say “take the anti-depressants, call us back, go to the ER”. The ER says, “your labs are fine, go home.”. All I’m asking is “can I go back to work this week or not?”

The anti depressants aren’t helping the seizures either. Tried that.

I’m tired of being told I can’t do anything. I’m tired of getting better and then getting worse. I’m tired of not being listened to. I’m tired.

Anyways, I’ll hop off my soapbox.

To anyone else who feels trapped by their chronic illnesses and disabilities, I see you. I understand you. I’m so sorry you have to go through what you’re going through. You’re not alone.

Stay strong.

I just threw up from cramps so painful that last time I had them I thought I needed my appendix out. Now I’m crying and laying as still as I possibly can. If anyone wants to send me as many boops as possible while I’m (hopefully) sleeping I would really love to wake up to an absurd amount

#i bet no one wanted to know that #fuck chronic illness

Got hit with a tidal wave of depression yesterday afternoon and now I can't get out of bed... Thinking about quitting every med I'm on and disappearing into the woods until mother nature claims this failing body again.

Ugh this lack of motivation and general sense of fatigue has been killing me lately! It’s taken almost all of my spoons to take a shower and do a very small amount of dishes, and I still have to wash clothes for work tomorrow which sucks because I have to use some of tomorrow’s spoons on today’s laundry so I know I going to be running myself ragged tomorrow too. Fuck chronic fatigue man!

Chronic illness is really annoying in ways I never could have predicted

#i bet no one wanted to know that #fuck chronic illness #I’m packing to stay at my brothers to take care of his dog while he’s out of town #I have to pack a whole fucking suitcase because of the amount of diabetes supplies and sensitive skin stuff I have to bring #my clothes take up maybe half of it I could easily fit everything in a backpack if I didn’t have chronic illnesses

my disabled ass, after (1)good day: "obviously I am cured. in fact it may have all been in my head. who can say? now to rejoin society!"

me, the next day: "it has come to my attention that i may be chronically ill."

#who'd have thunk #we're all shocked i know #i forced myself to go to supermarket and ended up clinging to the shopping cart to stay upright #took two hours to stop shaking from exertion #then immediately corralled the cat to tend to his rash #mfer struggles and protests until he realizes all over again that it feels quite nice actually #and then goes deadweight and purrs *while* warbling mournfully #presumably just on principle #but it's all still more spoons than I can spare #i need to take him to the vet for his follow up in a bit #so fucking drained #send thoughts and prayers #ugh #chronic illness #spoonie #disability #knee of huss

I'm all for natural remedies and traditional medicine, but I think when your "natural remedy" is based on the idea that water can become medicinal by being in the presence of a teeny itty bit amount of something, then it's probably bullshit and you're getting scammed. Go buy some ibuprofen or see a doctor.

#this is a long way for me to say that homeopathy is a scam!! #and that ''homeopathic professionals'' deliberately prey on vulnerable and scared people #especially chronically and terminally ill women looking for help and answers to illnesses they don't understand #so then they end up paying absurd money for fucking PLACEBOS #literal bottles of water and sugar pills that can supposedly cure their diabetes or fibromyalgia or cancer #and it's fucking disgusting and shameful okay
