Need help affording my testosterone!!

I hate making posts like these but I'm currently on government support (EI in Canada) for medical reasons, I was currently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and my doctor has sent me to a cardiologist because my heart rate raises to 150-170 if I move to fast or go up the stairs to fast my heart is fine thankfully but they think I'm dealing with POTS but I'm still waiting for a call from healthy heart to make an appointment for those tests

I found out the other day my testosterone is almost empty and I'm not sure if my payment will be here in time for Tuesday or not

My PayPal can be found here!

I don't expect any help but my testosterone costs 55 dollars any help would be appreciated!! If you're unable to help reblogging is also appreciated!

Again i hate asking for help but I'm out of options I already asked for help from people I'm close to but everyone is falling on tough times and that's completely understandable

For those out their with heds that use mobility devices, what device do you use and what was the point that made it a need ? I’m so tired and I’m pain on the daily in either my hips, knees or ankles (and that’s only below the waist)

I’m dependent on my parents for getting care and they are relatively supportive as disability is common in our family but my mom seems reluctant to even discuss the possibility that I may need an aid.

Any advice?

(Also going to the doctor this week to ask about symptoms of pots I’ve been having for years and stomach problems)

Ughhh I got a happy new notebook (that says "Find Joy in the Journey", it's v cute and I think that phrase is accurate for medical stuff), and had to write all of my potential PoTS symptoms in it and now I feel like a failure of a human being.

It just really sucks looking at all the different things that add up to "my body thinks standing should be illegal and is choosing to protest, vive la résistance".

Checked my pulse with a pulse oximeter lying down vs standing up.

Lying down: 78 bpm

Standing up: 120 bpm

Fun. /s

POTS magic masterpost

(Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)

A collection of tips and suggestions from and for magic practitioners who have POTS!

*To be used in addition to proper medical care, medication and mundane efforts, not as a sole alternative.*

Salt + electrolytes:

As you take salt pills, say a spell or blessing.

Incorporate salt into general health, wellness, and energy spells.

Draw sigils on your salt shakers.

“I drink a lot of electrolytes, and Pedialyte to help with orthostatic issues, and I will cast over my drink much the same as I do for tea, coffee, water, etc. So any spellwork for drinks could easily apply to one's electrolytes or water.” (x)

Tips and tricks:

Ask for specific strength to your blood vessels and brain.

Draw sigils on your medication bottles and mobility devices.

Carry around a resilience sigil or a sigil to keep your heart rate and blood pressure at a more average level.

Do little enchantments on your compression stockings and put them on a windowsill to charge with solar energy.

“Keeping all of my ingredients in easy to reach spots has also been a big help, specifically places that are low to the ground and don't require me to do much standing or walking around.” (x)

“When using counter maneuvers for POTS, visualize yourself being grounded & connected to the earth.” (x)

“I find time in nature also tends to ground me better, which can help if stress is a trigger for POTS.” (x)

“Pray to Apollon and Artemis for help at the start and end of the day. Again, this doesn't replace medical treatment, but it can certainly offer a lot of comfort, especially in the middle of a flare-up. For me, stress is a major trigger of my POTS, and I find that praying to my deities makes me calm down much faster, thereby allowing the flare-up to be a bit shorter.” (x)

Correspondences:

“Keeping a lot of bloodstone and rose quartz around has been helpful to me.” (x)

“As far as wandwork correspondences go, I like to use my mangrove wand for POTS-related work, bc of its unique adaptations to a salty environment. (Mangrove has a lot of health correspondences for me, but POTS and menstruation related issues are the two biggest.) Aspen, bloodwood, ebony, lignum vitae, redheart, and willow also have various health-related meanings for me, so I sometimes use those too.” (x)

Sigils:

Balance my blood pressure

My blood pressure is a healthy level

My heart rate stays average

Ease my dizziness

Ease my lightheadedness

I remain conscious

People respect my diagnosis

Thinking about how I never mentioned my joints popping to any of my doctors cause I thought that was normal (cause it’s happened since I was a kid) but maybe I should have…

im kind of a mom against weed i dont think its good for your mental health i think thats a big cope. getting so high you're dissociating through and emotionally numbing yourself isn't treating your mental illness, its abusing drugs. nobody says this about alcohol curing their depression even though it's used in the same way to cope and has (overall ) the same negative effects

#was a big stoner from like 18-20 like dabs on the daily and its just like...not good to be so unaware #its like walking around with a wet towel like wrapped around your entire head its suffocating it literally dulls all your senses #in moderation as a recreational activity i dont really see anything wrong with it but #it shouldn't be a mindless everyday as soon as you wake up behavior #everytime i smoke weed now im like oh right i dont like this at all lol whyd i do that #getting high is like the same as sleeping all day as much as possible re: coping w mental health ur just turning your brain off #not actually working through anything making the problem compound and making you turn to the drug again and again #and bcs its a relatively mild drug its definitely a like #frog in a boiling pot scenario you dont know just how fucked you are until youre really in it

Happy Heart Day, darlings! May you know you are loved just as you are, for who you are. XOXO

gotta love when stress makes your fibromyalgia and possible POTS flare up at the exact same time 😭 my landlord is coming tomorrow to fix something so my one roommate and i had to speed clean (that didn't help since were in the middle of a really bad heatwave so all it did was make me feel like shit) so that way the house would be clean for tomorrow morning...

my sister and her shitty boyfriend rarely clean the house especially the kitchen... (so i've been cleaning the kitchen on my own 90% of the time for the last four years until my best friend moved in) and all she did was make me feel worse when i asked her in our house group chat to make sure both her and her boyfriend cleaned up their dishes tonight so i wouldn't have to do them in the morning since my best friend JUST cleaned the whole ass kitchen

i got the whole "we ALWAYS clean up our dishes" bullshit when my best friend and i know that's not fucking true but i'm to tired and sick to fucking argue with her..

#angry #frustrated #sister doesn't clean up after herself #i can't keep cleaning up after her and her shitty boyfriend #it's way to hot and it takes a lot out of me now #not like she cares though #my best friend and i shouldn't have to always clean up after them but whatever #fibromyalgia #possible POTS #health issues

Just remembering the times I’ve actively been falling asleep in front of a doctor due to my chronic fatigue but then they still don’t do anything but tell me I need more sleep

Which isn’t unreasonable but I am a student. An AP GT student who falls asleep during class as well so I don’t get the notes or miss the lesson so I have to come in after school to get notes (or dig around the online classroom for the teachers that actually post their notes) and then have to teach myself the lesson.

Then I have to do the homework which is difficult for me to focus on (we think it’s undiagnosed adhd given other symptoms) and trying to complete the assignment takes a minimum of an hour. Give or take given exhaustion and falling asleep reading the questions, pain in my wrist, fingers, hands, etc, or having to do other things.

Then multiple by the four educational classes I’m in (thank god French doesn’t have homework)

I get as much sleep as I can

All this to say, I’m glad it’s summer and I’m glad I was finally diagnosed (maybe collegeboard will finally consider accommodating me)

Having an unknown chronic illness while also having mental health disorders fucking sucks. Every symptom is made out to be somehow related to your mental health issues. Like how difficult is it to understand that I know the difference between a panic attack and my heart deciding to fuck up for no reason?

Just because you're an idiot who wouldn't be able to tell the difference if they were happening to you, doesn't mean I am. Yeah they can "present similar symptoms" but when you've had panic attacks and these heart issues your entire life you learn the fucking difference.

FUCK

Anyway I gotta wait til mid october to see a specialist or go on my birthday which I am not doing.

Note: the "you" in this post refers to the people who claim all my symptoms are related to mental health, especially doctors, instead of running the tests to find me answers.

Arven would have a heart attack if he heard this

BJ’s accidentally gave me a five pound eye of round roast. Now I’m responsible for it and it expires tomorrow so now I gotta do an all day pot roast tomorrow
