we don't have any evidence that Beast Akutagawa is also suffering from a lung disease and i have my own suspicions about that but my suspicions aside...the slow burn whump as Beast Akutagawa's symptoms start to manifest. The fatigue and shortness of breath come first, Kunikida scolds him for not getting enough sleep, Oda is concerned it's unrelated so he keeps a close eye on him. The cough isn't noticed immediately because it's not constant, just every now and then, like his throat is dry. Junichiro always offers him water and Akutagawa takes it even when it doesn't help, so Junichiro is the first to notice it isn't going away. Junichiro is there the first time Akutagawa coughs up blood and he immediately knows something's wrong, when he calls Yosano for help she won't say it but she knows it too 💔 Akutagawa is so out of it, just staring at the bright red in his palm. He knows that's not right, he's hearing Gin in his head telling him it's because he never took good enough care of his health, he always put the group first. And now something's really wrong and he doesn't know where she is, he can never tell her 💔

Pneumonectomy is a lung surgery where lung is removed due to lung disease like lung cancer, lung injury, lung failure, birth lung defects, lung infections like TB causing lung failure. If patient has symptoms like chest pain, coughing constantly, blood in cough, weightloss, breathing problems, then patient is asked to get tests like chest xrays, blood tests, MRI scans, lung biopsy, lung function tests. If lung has failed, lung is removed by pneumonectomy and later replaced by lung transplant. There are best hospitals and best cardiac surgeons in India, where pneumonectomy is done with success.

Lung Disease

within my lungs drags on a drought.

my throat is raw from coughing fits.

this is the worst of many bouts

that I have had for several years —

a dizziness consumes my head

and there is ringing in my ears.

a stream of tears falls from my face

and still I barely notice it,

distracted fully by the pace

at which the air is forced from me.

and even through the scare, I think —

I fear that soon, I'll cease to breathe.

November 3rd, 2023

Today was an adventure.

I got breakfast with my social worker; and I actually ate despite feeling sick… though mostly to please my worker and show them I can actually try to feed myself.

I blame my anti-epileptic drugs. Yet another reason I curse epilepsy - a day without feeling so sick I’m not hungry or don’t need a naproxen… I guess I might call that a good day.

I went around to several laptop places, looking for someone to buy my laptop off me… but they didn’t want to give me much because of the defect to the fan… kind of like the defect to my brain.

My negative thinking made me compare myself to the laptop; defective, cheap, and in need of expensive repairs… though the laptop wasn’t beyond repair yet.

However, the positive part of me thought “this laptop still has some life left in it, despite a few flaws - ones I don’t even notice.”

Which brought me back to the concept of how friends can be - I still have life left in me, despite being sick, and there are people in my life who won’t notice that.

They’ll treat me like a normal kid ~ which in others words, is all I can ask for.

Just like I felt tonight going for food, except for the part where I couldn’t finish my meal because I felt so sick.

But aside from that, my friend didn’t judge me.

We need more people like that in this world, honestly lol.

Today is Rare Disease Day. Rare Disease Day is observed every year on 28 February (or 29 in leap years)—the rarest day of the year.

Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with rare diseases.

Over 6000 rare diseases are characterised by a broad diversity of disorders and symptoms that vary not only from disease to disease but also from patient to patient suffering from the same disease.

72% of the diseases are genetic and almost 1 out of 5 cancers is rare.

Relatively common symptoms can hide underlying rare diseases leading to misdiagnosis and delaying treatment. Quintessentially disabling, the patients quality of life is affected by the lack or loss of autonomy due to the chronic, progressive, degenerative, and frequently life-threatening aspects of the disease.

The fact that there are often no existing effective cures adds to the high level of pain and suffering endured by patients and their families.

Though Rare Disease Day is patient-led, everyone, including individuals, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, industry representatives and the general public, can participate in raising awareness and taking action today for this vulnerable population who require immediate and urgent attention. How can you take action? You can visit: rarediseaseday.org, globalgenes.org, and/or thelamfoundation.org, to learn more and donate. You can also help by reposting and sharing this post, thank you.

Hoy es el Día de las Enfermedades Raras. El Día de las Enfermedades Raras se celebra todos los años el 28 de febrero (o el 29 en años bisiestos), el día más raro del año. El Día de las Enfermedades Raras es el movimiento coordinado a nivel mundial sobre enfermedades raras, que trabaja por la equidad en las oportunidades sociales, la atención médica y el acceso a diagnósticos y terapias para las personas que viven con enfermedades raras. Más de 6000 enfermedades raras se caracterizan por una amplia diversidad de trastornos y síntomas que varían no solo de una enfermedad a otra, sino también de un paciente a otro que padece la misma enfermedad. El 72% de las enfermedades son genéticas y casi 1 de cada 5 cánceres son raros. Los síntomas relativamente comunes pueden ocultar enfermedades raras subyacentes que conducen a un diagnóstico erróneo y retrasan el tratamiento. Incapacitante por excelencia, la calidad de vida del paciente se ve afectada por la falta o pérdida de autonomía debido a los aspectos crónicos, progresivos, degenerativos y, con frecuencia, potencialmente mortales de la enfermedad. El hecho de que a menudo no existan curas efectivas se suma al alto nivel de dolor y sufrimiento que soportan los pacientes y sus familias. Aunque el Día de las Enfermedades Raras está dirigido por pacientes, todos, incluidos individuos, familias, cuidadores, profesionales de la salud, investigadores, médicos, legisladores, representantes de la industria y el público en general, pueden participar en la creación de conciencia y tomar medidas hoy para esta población vulnerable que requiere atención inmediata. ¿Cómo puedes tomar acción? Puedes visitar: rarediseaseday.org, globalgenes.org y/o thelamfoundation.org, para obtener más información y donar. También puedes ayudar reposteando y compartiendo esta publicación, gracias.

A Miracle for World PH Day 2023

TRIGGER Warning: Mention of Miscarriage in this post and unflattering photos of myself.

in December of 2019, I noticed a significant difference in my health. Shortness of Breath, even when walking a short distance, heart palpitations, cough & wheezing, chest pain and occasional nose bleeds. Untreated Anxiety and Depression associated with my Bipolar Disorder, Uncontrolled Diabetes and Intermittent Asthma were believed to be the cause of these symptoms despite my growing concerns. Each year my symptoms worsened. In February 2022, it had gotten so bad that I could not walk from my bedroom to my kitchen without feeling like I had just ran a marathon. My pulmonologist agreed that my condition was rapidly worsening and begged me to give a CPAP another try. I was also switched to the highest dosage of Advair and regular use of my emergency inhaler. My PCP told me to get my A1C down and consider weight loss surgery to expedite my weight loss journey. I was determined to do everything they advised, this way I could prove to them that something more serious was occurring. At this time, I had already quit smoking and began lowering my A1C.

To my surprise, June 30, 2022 it was confirmed that I was pregnant. It shocked me because a couple years ago in 2020 I suffered a miscarriage at 16 weeks. I was advised to consider birth control because my body could not hold a fetus. Well... they were wrong about that one! The doctor confirmed a healthy fetus made it’s way and there was a heartbeat. It was a miracle and I knew God had other plans for me. I prayed every day and every night, thanking my heavenly Father and thy Earthly Mother for all the blessings they bestowed upon me; also asking for guidance, clarity and strength to lead me in the right direction.

I began to communicate with my Perinatologist more as I learned to trust her. During an appointment in September 2022, I opened up and told her,

Doctor, something is wrong with me and I need someone to listen to me. I can’t do my seated exercise anymore and that concerns me. I can’t even walk in place but for 4 minutes, then I have to stop and lay down. I think something is wrong with my heart. I’ve been having these issues before I was pregnant. Please help me. I want to live.

She asked me had I seen a cardiologist. I explained to her that after an urgent care visit in May I was put on a heart monitor for a few weeks but no results were communicated to me. She fought to get my referral to a cardiology approved. My visit with the cardiologist in October is when I was told, I have Pulmonary Hypertension. An ultrasound of my heart confirmed that I had heart disease and heart failure.

My breath was too short for a sigh of relief. The weight on my chest applied pressure instead of being lifted. I was in my third trimester of pregnancy, when a right heart catheterization confirmed my diagnosis in November 2022. Then, the cardiology team with my healthcare provider advised for my care to be transferred to out-of-network team that can provide the care that I needed. I had gained over 40lbs in fluid due to heart failure and my new health team was confident that we could reverse it before labor.

My mother was in fear that she would lose her only daughter. I was in fear that I would never get to hold my daughter. My love was afraid that he would lose me and be alone. My father was scared and speechless. Everything made sense in these moments and everything mattered. It mattered who was there and who wasn't. It mattered where I was and where I was going. It mattered how and why.

3 weeks away from my due date, a team of 20+ assembled in the cardiac care unit to bring Zenobia in to the world. My father waited at home by the phone, my mother waited alone in the labor & delivery room and my love was by my side as they tilted me back and began to operate. After 4 hours of pre-op and 45 minutes of surgery, it was a success. My daughter was born, healthy and strong. Doctors, Nurses and many people stopped by to visit me when I left ICU, curious to meet the miracle baby and her parents. A nurse who was not in my station came to visit and said,

"I hope you don't mind that I came to visit. Although I'm not your nurse, I was on call when the entire floor heard that you were being transferred to the cardiac operating room. Every nurse gathered and we prayed for you. Everyone is celebrating you, a miracle."

My eyes filled with tears and joy. Other doctors and their students came to visit and were glad to see me. Another nurse encouraged me to tell my story and document my journey because it will inspire others. The doctors that worked directly with my care and surgery were impressed, proud and says that I'm their model story.

That was almost 4 months ago in January 2023 but also when my journey began. My team was honest with me, that labor and delivery was the least of their concern. Surviving postpartum, preparing for cardiac therapy and rehabilitation was top priority. I would be lying if I said it is easy. Most days I am sad. Learning to adjust to my new way of life has been challenging and difficult to accept. I promised myself to do all that I can to live, to change and to never give up. Meeting people who have PH and joining the association has been a great help to me and how I learned of World Pulmonary Hypertension Day on May 5, 2023.

One thing I have learned since giving birth with Pulmonary Hypertension is how much time and creating memories mean to me. Also, how important it is to talk about how you’re feeling no matter how that looks for you or how it makes anyone else feel. It’s easy to look down and frown when you’re faced with this challenge. Make the conscious decision today, right now to look up and forward. Be good to yourself and your body. When you need to rest, do so and don’t feel bad for not being able to push through on bad days. You’re a survivor, a PHighter.

I have so much to look forward to. Raising my daughter, therapies and rehabilitation and none of it will be easy but I give praise to the Most High for this blessing. Thank you Lord for blessing every hand that was laid upon me. Thank you for hearing my prayers. Thank you for every person who prayed for me. Thank you for those who have been there and rooting for me. Thank you for giving me the strength and bravery to share what you have done for me and what you will continue to do. Thank you to everyone following me, befriending me and joining me. I got you. Let’s live, let’s fight for a cure.
