time for my biweekly "I lay on the couch intermittently shaking and sweating from how badly I'm in pain because every time I go to the ER they just send me back home with more pain meds" session!!!!

fwiw we've narrowed it down to either 'your recurring ovarian cyst is small enough it should go away on its own we'll just wait a few more months' or 'you have gas trapped somewhere and it just hurts you way more than it hurts normal people' and neither of them have any treatment other than pain meds and OTC stuff!!!!

Perplexing to me. My health issues have made major progress, like eons of progress from 3 years ago and i am truly really grateful and hopeful.

But i also still wake up every morning with abdominal pain for a few hours :/ every day.

Ok, so now that I've discovered that maternity clothes are more comfortable for me (low front panel my beloved) I need to see if there's anyone making maternity clothes for transmascs. As much as I like how old navy's clothes fit, their maternity clothes are all feminine

It really sucks when I’m talking abt a medical experience and someone said that it sounded awful and like doctors weren’t helping b4 I then explain acrually it was the only time every doctor and nurse I saw was super helpful and nice, that I just went from okay-ish to literally being hospitalized within a very short timespan. They were taking it seriously and believed me and ordered tests and everything. They did tests at first to make sure I wasn’t dying and when they found only a few abnormalities I was referred to a specialist. And then while waiting for my appointment I was hospitalized :’D

And this sucks bc this shouldn’t be weird. It shouldn’t be a shockingly rare situation where I was suffering, in agony, and potentially having serious health problems that could hurt me long term or kill me that I was treated with compassion and given prompt treatment and help from ppl who looking out for my well-being. The worst I got was a couple of nurses bring very mildly annoyed but everyone has off days at work, they still made sure I got what I needed right away and reassured me I’d be okay

I very recently realized something about my body that might be the root cause of my persistent back pain AND the reason why I get full so fast when I eat. it's bone structure/posture related and can be fixed??? it's blowing my mind that none of the doctors/physiotherapists I begged for help in the past 5+ years ever spotted it even tho it's. quite visible

doctor gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxer to help with chronic post-hysterectomy pain and. i wanna cry holy shit, i took the first dose last night and it helped so much. i got a full 10 hrs of uninterrupted deep sleep and woke up soft and wiggly and relaxed instead of gasping in pain. i wanna get up and do YOGA.

Can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it, but I’ve started having pain on the *left* side of my abdomen (opposite gallbladder) these last few weeks, around the spleen region. It comes and goes but whenever it returns, it’s a little worse. If I push on it and then let go, it leaves a burning feeling inside for quite some time.

I’ve been trying to ignore it, but reminded myself that ignoring issues like this is what got me into the position I’m in to begin with, so I messaged my GI about it. Idk if GIs handle spleens, but he had recently asked if I had pain on that side and I said no, so I went to him with the update.

Why does this man feel the need to remind me that my spleen was fine in the CT I had done 7 months ago? 1) I know that and 2) I wasn’t having pain there 7 months ago. So how is that relevant?? You know what was also apparently fine on that CT seven months ago? The gallbladder that now needs to come out. So like???

i was lying in bed with a heading pad bc i was having this horrific gas-induced back pain, and i was really warm and feeling a little sleepy, so i decided to take a quick nap (i only got 5 hours of sleep last night, after all), but i was wearing my contacts, so now my eyes feel all weird, but at least the weird gas pain is going away and i was able to eat some triscuits, as a little treat

The thing about having a chronic issue that comes and goes is that when you start to get The Twinge that means an episode is coming on you go into full panic mode getting ready for the worst pain you get to experience

But sometimes it's just like. A little tummy ache because you ate something that disagreed with you and you feel stupid for having to drop your project to go inside and have a panic attack about something that passes in 5 minutes after farting real good.

At least I got out of rinsing all the brushes?
