I haven't been around lately because of work - and my older cat Bomboś got seriously ill a few days ago and I've been busy looking after him. The symptoms point to pancreatitis/triaditis - it was something that the bloodwork from 3 months ago was already pointing to, in retrospect, or at least to some issues with the pancreas, but since he was feeling well and had great appetite I haven't considered it at all. It also took time to notice the excessive weight loss because I took both of my cats on a diet... It was only recently that I realized he was losing twice as much weight as the other cat on the same diet plan. About 2-3 weeks ago he started to moderately drink water after meals, which was unlike him at all, but that was it. Till last Thursday he was eating well, showing no signs of distress. Then the vomiting and high fever started and I've been trying so far unsuccessfully to stabilize him. The last two days weren't the best, since he doesn't even want to look at food since yesterday, but I hope since I started active treatment he's gonna improve. I am not losing this cat. >:(

#I did some very quick ultrasound on him today (as much as I was able to on my own ) and I haven't seen anything cancer indicating #which is a plus #definitely fatty liver though #and inflammation #the number of animals that visit my practice suddenly not feeling well and their ultrasound is a metastatic mess is not zero #i think i had 2-3 in the last few months #wish Bomboś luck

Today’s doctor’s appointment was bad and by bad I mean the doctor said “Yeah. I did review the biopsy and you do have inflammation and irritation in your stomach lining and moderate microabscesses in the first part of your large intestine but I don’t think that’s why you feel like shit.” HUH???????? THE FUCK?

#‘actually I think you should have a super expensive gastric emptying study to figure out why you’re nauseous.’#WAIT WAIT GO BACK BITCH!#anyway he did call for blood work so we’ll see if my inflammation or infection markers are up

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#ask #non mdzs #My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl #So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume #but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice #and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

Funny enough, I was cramping so bad last night. It was horrible but thank god I had Advil.

The Spicy Autistic Femme

I actually found a Harvard article about this. Here’s an excerpt:

Autistic people are more likely to suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) ailments than the general population. They are especially more difficult to identify and diagnose in adults with communication challenges. GI symptoms can range from mild stomachaches to serious, persistent vomiting. There is no single set of signs, symptoms, or treatments that applies to all autistic patients.

Another article said:

According to many researchers, the GI issues that come with ASD might be due to two factors: firstly, inappropriate immune activation Trusted Source, causing inflammation of the tract; and, secondly, differences in the types of gut bacteria Trusted Sourcethat are present.

I find this very interesting and kinda annoying too.

Hm. Well, I noticed I was having a lot of hunger and fatigue and went wait a minute, is my thyroid dosage still good? Got my blood draw on Wednesday and got results today that indeed it’s acting uppity.

So yay I noticed a symptom, boo I have to up my dosage.

#ramblies #chronic illness #I know she mentioned gluten affecting my inflammation and to see if I could try gluten free a bit and see if there’s improvement #but it’s so overwhelming and a lot more work for my beloved to try to manage meals and life is just hard

I was going to feel sad about the United Health CEO dying but my insurance doesn’t cover sympathy. Maybe losing weight will help?

Two key protein structures in the body are being visualized for the first time, thanks in part to the latest technology in the University of Cincinnati's Center for Advanced Structural Biology—potentially opening the door for better designed therapeutics. The research of a trio of UC structural biologists was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
