I was at the hospital today.

The hospital said my bilirubin was elevated. They said that my sugar was starting to get low. They told me they would have given me Droperidol, but it was $6000. And they didn't want to give me Dilaudid, not because of me, but because they strongly suspect I have Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and all opiates that aren't Fentanyl will actually cause it to have more dysfunction (which it has been true for me). I had to get 5 hours of fluids and sugar fluids for my dehydration.

One funny thing was the doctor offering Droperidol, but then he told me a secret, it's just D11. I showed him my vape, which is my main emergency antiemetic, and he approved of it (my vape is a pure D10-D11-D12 + CBD & terpenes with PG as a carrier) and told me to continue using it for emesis control.

When I got home I began to faint and have horrible abdominal pain so I took 1/4 of a 5mg Hydrocodone and vaped some, and ate some pretzels. I felt much better after that. I hope I can get a stent when I go to MUSC. I also really don't want a feeding tube even though I need one. Ah...

[pain-and-persistence]

My condition right now 😢

[the-autistic-system]

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over having chronic pancreatitis bc a psychiatrist prescribed mirtazapine to help me sleep and all it did was make me sluggish before rising my lipase levels to 800; triglycerides levels were out the wazoo too but I can't remember the exact number.

But I had waited 3 days before going to the ER about the pain I was having (pancreatitis) bc I've been gaslit by medical professionals my entire life; I only went to the ER bc our cat acted different towards me.

And the kicker of it all? The psychiatrist tried to argue with my mom and I that mirtazapine wasn't the cause. "In my (so-so) years of prescribing it this has never happened." When I, at 19, didnt drink alcohol and no other medication on my list (at the time) could do what it did. When we pressured him that it was the only possible thing, bc the ER doctors all agreed that was the sole thing that could have caused it, he still didnt believe us but proceeded to look it up on his computer anyway- looking more like he was going to prove us wrong.

He looks it up and well what do you know, we aren't lying, it was like a 1-in-1000 chance. He didn't even know that could happen.

I was 19. Now I'm about to be 23 in a week and I'm still suffering bc of it. I have chronic pancreatitis, if I don't take or have the CREON I'm prescribed then my food doesn't digest properly and on a bad day will cause my pancreas to flare.

I don't think it's related to this incident but that psychiatrist retired not long after this happened. Sometimes wonder if this makes me more of a victim to medical negligence than I already am; that man did not know all the possible side effects of the medicine he was prescribing. What the fuck, dude?

Mimosa

Good morning everyone! Who is currently wake 'n baking? This morning we're smoking some Mimosa strain to wake us up while drinking some Rogue Energy Rocket Pop energy drink mix. Just took some Kat's Botanicals Rogue Hippo White Vein Kratom and decided to test this new strain out and do a review.

Gear

Today I'm currently using Raw 1G Blunt Cones, and then I also have a mini cone of Obama Runtz. My grinder is a 1 Stage from GrassCity but today I get my other grinder when my Amsterdam Glass Mini Bong from GrassCity gets here!

Genetics

Symbiotic Genetics turned Purple Punch and Clementine into the sativa-dominant (70/30) Mimosa strain in 2017. The strain sits at a THC content of 21% THC for the batch I got.

Appearance

Amber veins and hairs run through the dark frosty green buds . I got some smalls because it's more affordable but just as potent. Ended up getting an Oz for 50$ which is a wildly good deal where I live!

Effects

Mimosa is a perfect strain for morning use, and delivers a happy and energizing high that can help you start your day with a smile. Mimosa is also known for its therapeutic benefits. It can balance your mood, ease your stress, and stimulate your appetite. Many people with ADD and ADHD find Mimosa helpful for calming their mind and improving their focus. Mimosa can also alleviate depression and migraines with its uplifting and soothing effects.

Mimosa has a delicious taste and aroma that resembles a fruity cocktail. You can enjoy the tropical citrus and berry notes of Mimosa, with a hint of woodsy and floral undertones. Mimosa can cause dry mouth, so make sure to stay hydrated when smoking this strain!

Smoking Experience

After I sparked my 1G cone up, the woodsy, flowery taste hit me first. Then, on the exhale it has a bit of an orange and berry taste as the thick smoke rolls of my tongue. The smell is VERY strong, so if you are an incognito smoker, be sure to make you a sploof. I live in an apartment but everyone knows my wife and I smoke. Definitely wouldn't be smoking this before an inspection or the landlord coming over though! Oust is always going to be your friend, and a good air cleaner.

Every two months our landlord comes to "inspect" the house, so as it gets closer to that point I'll probably be blowing into a tp roll/dryer sheet! This stuff is definitely dank!

It takes about 5 minutes to really start ramping up, then you're going to be hit with pure euphoria, after about 15 minutes it changes into a warm comforting waves of calm and focus, it's like wrapping up in a warm soft blanket right after the drier is done. I have Diagnosed Autism, ADHD, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Pancreatitis, Spinal Stenosis, and Huntington's Disease and I found an overwhelming relief from both my pain and mental health issues.

In fact this strain made me talk non-stop most of last night the first time I smoked a joint of it. I normally am very quiet, as is my wife, but this is definitely a social strain. My wife and I had deep conversations about the universe, so definitely helps foster creative and expansive thinking.

Activities to do After Toking

I played Path of Exile a lot last night when I first smoked a joint of this and then a joint of the Obama Runtz before bed. I found myself listening to Martin Garrix, later G Herbo, as well as some Biggie. a good strain to vibe to and listen to music to. It didn't cloud my awareness, or make me couch locked. It's a very active strain so I really love it. I was able to focus on just having some fun! Would be a strain I'd use if I wanted to focus on reading too. I often like to read astrophysics books. Watching documentaries would be great, especially nature ones. Definitely a good strain for if you have a pet in the house too as pets always raise the comfort level of most strains.

I'm a game developer so this would also be my go-to if I needed to focus on repetitive things such as level building, and I believe it'd help me with my creativity in game design! Probably going to end up doing that today while listening to music because I'm currently working on a Castlevania-like 2D platformer.

Growing

This strain flowers in about 9 weeks. If you plan on growing it outside, it'll be ready for harvest in mid-October, sometimes even later.

Mimosa is not too difficult to grow if you want to harvest a mid. But to get 27%, it's recommended to use a high-nutrient plant food to encourage your strain to flourish. Mimosa is greedier than the average plant, nutritionally speaking, so make sure to give your plant lots of nutrients and TLC!

Conclusion and Last Thoughts on the Mimosa Experience

It's an enjoyable, social, fun strain that helped me get stuff done. I was able to remember things better and less agitated during the night, I ended up drifting off into an 8 hour deep sleep when I usually sleep 2-3 hours max a night due to the Early Onset Dementia from Huntington's Disease. I have a real issue with focusing too and don't take any ADHD meds but this strain helped me vibe for hours before I took a weed nap! I woke up refreshed, and the strain was so good I couldn't resist a wake 'n bake. I'll do some more writeups later today on my bong and the Obama Runtz from last night! Let me know what your favorite strain is in the comment section!

Nothing in this article is medical advice, always check with your doctor before indulging in medical cannabis/legal cannabis.

Thanks for toking with me!

Medical Second Opinion On Reversing Damage To The Pancreas

Minor damage to the pancreas can often be reversed with proper treatment and a healthy lifestyle. More severe damage, such as that caused by chronic pancreatitis, may not be reversible. Treatment for pancreatic damage typically focuses on relieving pain and managing digestive problems. Some people may require insulin therapy if their pancreas is no longer able to produce enough of the hormone. In rare cases, a pancreas transplant may be necessary.

There are no specific blood tests that can definitively detect pancreatic cancer on their own. However, there are certain blood markers and tests that can be used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods to help assess the possibility of pancreatic cancer or monitor the disease's progression.

Some of the blood tests that may be considered in the evaluation of pancreatic cancer include:

CA 19-9 (Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9): CA 19-9 is a tumor marker that is often elevated in people with pancreatic cancer. However, it is not specific to pancreatic cancer and can be elevated in other medical conditions as well. CA 19-9 is most commonly used to monitor treatment response and disease progression in individuals with known pancreatic cancer.

CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen): CEA is another tumor marker that can be elevated in various types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. Like CA 19-9, CEA is not specific to pancreatic cancer and is used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests.

Complete Blood Count (CBC): A CBC can provide information about the number of different blood cells, which can be affected by pancreatic cancer or its treatment.

Liver Function Tests: These tests measure the levels of certain liver enzymes and substances in the blood. Abnormal liver function test results can be a sign of pancreatic cancer or other liver-related issues.

Note that while these blood tests can raise suspicion of pancreatic cancer, they are not definitive diagnostic tools on their own. To confirm the presence of pancreatic cancer, further diagnostic procedures such as imaging tests, endoscopic examinations, and biopsies are typically required.

For the general population, the focus of a full-body checkup or general health screening typically includes monitoring for common health issues like high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes, and early detection of more prevalent cancers such as breast, colon, or prostate cancer. While these screenings are important, they are not specific for pancreatic cancer. Get full body checkups done to detect pancreatic cancer and other health diseases early.

I think the most frustrating thing about chronic pancreatitis is that I can't actually take testosterone or estrogen. I don't actually have enough of either of them, but I can't take them to fix that. I also tried estrogen in my arm just to ward off some of the effects of a lack of estrogen and that just gave me Acute Pancreatitis but Slow Onset [30 Days Edition] instead of Acute Pancreatitis. I mean I'm transmasc but I still even tried it just to feel better and all it did was make every CP symptom 100x worse... like I'm cursed to have low hormones, which is NOT good for your body, yet if I try to take the hormones, because they disseminate through my blood stream instead of directly into the necessary organ, they inevitably go into my pancreas and make me megaill from the 2% that landed in it.

The heroic version of "Mother Knows Best" from Disney's Tangled is me singing it to my dog to reassure her during scary storms ("mother's right here, mother will protect you"), to convince her to not run off down the street with reckless abandon because she saw a small animal and slipped out of her collar ("mother knows best, listen to your mother, it's a scary world out there [. . .] skip the drama, stay with mama"), and to convince her to not eat random scraps of garbage at every opportunity.

. . . that last one requires more creativity, admittedly.

"Mother knows best / take it from your mumsy / eating that will make you sick. / Stomach pain and puke / an inflammed pancreas - yes / it'll mess you up quick! / Bits of plastic, tape / tons of toxic acorns / and some odd slimy . . . bone? / None of these are food / you're weird to wanna eat them / I'm just sayin' 'cause I wuv you . . ."

TW-- Medical talk. Blood. Surgery.

Okay so- sinus surgery went good! No weird complications and they didn't have to go in through my mouth, that was a big relief. The staff were all lovely and in all it was far easier and less stressful and bad than expected. Was discharged on the same day, came home and rested and resting more today. I feel a bit swollen inside and swallowing doesn't feel great and the leaking has slowed but not stopped. Whenever I get up to go to the toilet I get more leaking of blood and fluid.

The worst thing probably is that my pancreas really really hurts. It kept waking me up through the night and I honestly thought the sinus discomfort would be the thing keeping me up, not my pancreas?

Also just found this summary of my 'problems/comorbidities' to be hilarious.

Does he have that... you know... Transgender/Autism/Malnutrition??

Jokes aside the staff were all lovely. One did quietly ask me 'how far along are you?' And I was sort of like... I dont think there's really... a timeline in that way..? I've been on T for over a year but I don't have top surgery if that's what you mean. And she was like... 'do you have a uterus?' Me: 'yep' Her: 'I'm sorry but could you do a pregnancy test..?' And I'm like yeah that's fine but I'm like really really really not pregnant.

(He was not pregnant)

Look at my fashion fashion baby. I really like the dvt socks... I know a lot of people don't but I think I enjoy the compression so much? It feels so comforting and good?

Next pic has blood on some gauze if you're squeamish abt blood.

Anyway... that's that I suppose. The day after tomorrow I need to use this nasal spray thing to clear out clots and stuff and I'm not excited about that at all but hopefully it will be easy and fine.
