Sometimes you spend the money you were saving for a new tattoo on handmade corsets because they were on sale and they are cheaper than a functional medical back brace but work about the same for you.

Sometimes you need to find ways to deal with your own medical issues because shit sucks and buying pretty corsets works for me.

And sometimes you get to walk up to your friend group welding your wizard staff (cane) and say "Whats up sluts, guess who just spent over 400$ on corsets"

GUESS WHOSE THYROID IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN THE SIZE IT SHOULD BE

GUESS WHOSE S NEW ENDO SAID THEIR OLD ENDO SHOULD N O T HAVE IGNORED IT THAT LONG

GUESS WHOSE S NEW ENDO SAID THEIR THYROID IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THYROIDS THEYVE EVER SEEN

GUESS WHO NOW HAS TO POSSIBLY HAVE SURGERY TO REMOVE THEIR THYROID

GUESS WHOSE OLD ENDO CONTINUOUSLY IGNORED THEIR CONCERNS AND BLAMED IT ON THEIR WEIGHT OR ANXIETY DIAGNOSIS AND TOLD THEM TO TALK TO THEIR PSYCHIATRIST FOR YEARS

Fuck global warming, it’s 52 in February in Michigan! All I needed this morning was my hoodie and it was fucking HOT in the hospital but I was cheeky and didn’t wear a bra today because of my oversized hoodie and man did I regret it, my big naturals need a bra lol I had my annual heart appointment this morning though so I would have had to take it off anyway so I said fuck it entirely. This morning was so stressful, my blood draw was really easy so very thankful for that but the hospital app was down this morning so we didn’t know where to go and the front desk sent us to the main hospital’s PET scan department when I apparently needed to be in the PET scan department in the cardiovascular center. So, I had to walk all over the various buildings to finally get to the right department and was a tad late but thankfully I was the only appointment so it wasn’t a big deal. For fucking once in my life they got the IV in the first try 😭 I almost cried, I’m such a hard stick it usually takes 4-5 attempts to start an IV on me. So, I was very thankful it went in so easily, it burned really badly though, or at least the medication did. They inject you with radioactive dye to make everything show up and then give you medication to simulate exercise all while you’re in an MRI machine to get imaging of the heart. It’s such a weird sensation, you go from half falling asleep to suddenly feeling like your sprinting in seconds, it’s not necessarily unpleasant but it is odd but like I mentioned earlier the medication burned quite a bit going in. The imaging was apparently sufficient even though the drug didn’t do its job as well as it was supposed to because they sent me home in a timely fashion. I got back home and took a very long nap and apparently the girl who wrapped my IV didn’t wrap it tight enough because the dresssing was soaked in blood when I took it off later. It’s bruised but not awfully. All in all things went better than they could have. Downside my labs aren’t good at all. My tacrolimus level is an 8 it’s supposed to be between 4-6, so that’s not good but reasonably easy to fix, they’ll just lower my dose again and repeat labs next week most likely. The really bad thing though is my liver is crazy out of whack again, which really blows. It might be as easily explained as my enzymes are spiked because I just got over the flu but last time it was this high is when I had CMV. I’ll get my results for the CMV test tomorrow. In more news no one cares about but I over share is my parathyroid is very high which is actually good because it finally explains my chronic fatigue and weird appetite lately. Hopefully they can get it under control and my energy levels will return and I might be able to do things again. In small good things my kidneys are stable, they’re stage 3b kidney failure but they’ve also been there for like 7 years so they’re not getting worse, dance party time.

TL:DR: I’m still dying slowly but instead of just my heart and kidneys doing the dirty work now my liver is back on board for murder too.

As someone with both general Aphasia and Palilalia,

if people are saying you keep repeating yourself, or whispering, and you don't think you are, it might be that. For years kids would tell me to stop whispering. I was doing that, but I didn't know. I couldn't feel my own lips moving and repeating my old words.

I hate needing to see new doctors because I never know what could make them dismiss me.

I am to vague: obviously don't have an issue.

To spesific: hypochondriac.

Too knowledgeable about my own conditions: Has a suspicious extent of knowledge about spesific condition possible faker

Haven't heard of somthing like what they describe before: not real and if it is then it's clearly not important

Over explain to try and avoid the above: obsessed with being sick and looking for validation that they are. let them know you see through their evil gaslighting

So I’ve reached out just about everywhere trying to get others to donate to help cover my medical expenses. I’ve gotten some donations, but still haven’t reached my goal as it is much needed to do so. If you click the link it will take you to my go fund me and my story is written out there. Everyone please share this to help me out with these medical bills that have been piling up. Just a 100 dollar donation could get me closer to meeting my goal and most importantly, getting these medical bills payed off. Just a 50 dollar donation could help me with putting fuel in my vehicle to get me back and forth to my appointments as I do have quite a few of those. Nonetheless, anything is always appreciated. Thank you in advance and may God bless you back 100 times whatever you may give.

Stupid ass health anxiety beat by an actual very painful problem that the hospital twice said idk but you're not dying so I assumed feeling like my stomach was gonna rip out is normal and then getting quite the burning feeling and feeling a niggle in the back of my head but I ignored it because it's probably "nothing deadly" again and I actually had to be talked into going to the er because i was just deadass gonna ignore it until I couldn't and then it ended up being internal bleeding that can easily be deadly and....ugh

#personal #medical #medical problems #tw ectopic #tw pregnancy #ectopic pregnancy rupture #and then the thought of oh thank god im in a blue state and was already getting medical care for this thing so when it ruptured i got to #fast track the diagnosis bit and get into surgery in like 2 hours instead of bleeding to death because in some states they literally wont #treat you until youre actively dying not just getting close #like...fuck

People at my school, even people who are acclaimed to have been 'good friends' or 'helping me' keep having to bring up my medical emergencies whenever they want to

I'm glad there's only 3 days left of school this year, because between everybody else who hates me just yelling 'seizure!' at me or 'shAkINg' and even saying 'Hey baby!' as I walk past, I'm tired of it. Even some girl who is a dick to my friends but I deal with her because she's nice to me, just decided to casually mention something in health class

'Oh yaknow how it says to not force someone to sit up? Remember that time you passed out? And Mr. W was trying to force you to sit up?'

Yea, during that period of time that passed by in two seconds for me BECAUSE I PASSED OUT, the only thing I remembered was someone yelling 'seizure!' and Mr. W being like 'she'll be fine' and trying to forcefully pull me up into a sitting position because THAT'S FUCKING RATIONAL

And that being the only thing I remember during that time I passed out due to dehydration that day (kids yelling seizure because I once had a tic attack and they assumed it was a seizure), and later learning that some dick was laughing as they pulled me out of the room and placed me in ambulance, I'M FUCKING TIRED OF IT

I DON'T LIKE THE SIMPLE MENTION OF IT, AND IF SOMEONE WHO IS A COMPLETE DICK TO MY FRIENDS WANTS TO GET ALONG WITH ME FOR SOME FUCKING REASON, IT'S NOT WISE IN THAT SITUATION TO CASUALLY MENTION MY TRAUMA IN SUCH A CASUAL MANNER TO JUST MAKE SOME TOTALLY ELABORATE POINT THAT WAS FUCKING OBVIOUS IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE YOU WANNA FEEL SMART, ASSHOLE

Anyone know at what point a doctor's office will stop sending referrals at your request due to too many requests (not your fault really but you are the one asking for them), asking for a friend (the friend is me)

Both my parents have Covid which means I was probably exposed to it too, great. *sigh* Just what I needed after a disastrous morning at the hospital. I got a newbie for my blood draw and my arm is a black and blue pincushion, thankfully his supervisor only let him try twice but he still went in the back of my hand which is by far the most painful spot there is for shitty lab work. I almost blacked out twice from him digging around for the vein. After that I had my colposcopy which is basically a biopsy of the cervix, plus side my abnormal Pap smear doesn’t look cancerous at all, down side it hurt and I’m very crampy. I was supposed to go out tonight but after finding out I was potentially exposed to Covid I canceled, so far I’m feeling ok but my partner isn’t so we’re probably fucked. At least I got a good nap in after my appointments, so there’s that?

Today in Vet School:

Telling my family about the pacemaker placement I did anesthesia for today: “oh and I was almost taken out by the C-arm of the fluoroscope today.”

Sister (an orthopedic PA): “Many a time I’ve almost been whacked with the C-arm. Many a time I have stood In The awkwardest positions to avoid contaminating the c-arm.”

My Father (a respiratory therapist/nurse): “Many times I have been bashed in the head by the fluoroscope. ECG monitors, CT scan Contrast arm code blue backboard you name it I’ve hit in the head by it.”

Made this for my friend to explain how I'm coping with having tumors until I can finally get my surgery to get them removed.
