#Formication

[thatgarden]

Happy disability pride month to the undiagnosed. To the people lying in bed, in fatigue or pain, unexplained because their doctors ignore them or don't believe them.

To the people who're suffering but don't have the answers as to why, to the many more that think their suffering is normal because it's been going on for so long or they were thought to be exaggerating when describing symptoms.

I suffered from a chronic illness for years because my doctor, and nurse practitioner, ignored me when I said I was fatigued constantly. It's a miracle I was diagnosed by that nurse practitioner at all.

And I've been living with tactile hallucinations my whole life, but was brushed off in my childhood when I tried to tell people I feel bugs crawling on me when they're not there. (Before I get any comments - believe me. This is disabling. I'd be constantly paranoid without my antipyschotics, and in a way I still kind of am.)

Our doctors often fail us in many ways, even though they're supposed to help us, and in certain countries we even have to PAY large amounts to get ignored by these doctors.

If you relate to my story, I'm sorry. I hope we can both find better luck from the places that're supposed to help us in the future.

Once again lying in bed on my phone waiting while my ibuprofen and muscle relaxer kicks in to possibly get rid of some of my pain and muscle spasms so I can attempt to sleep.

Idk how this even came up but when I was a kid my mom told me that people who did drugs would feel like they had bugs crawling on them

And sometimes I get that feeling so whenever that used to happen to me I was like. oh no what if I'm somehow accidentally on drugs ?? (I was not)

[onecooooooolcat]

formication is probably the worst feeling ever screams

[notmybabies]

today my meds decided it would be fun for me to feel like bugs are crawling all over me yay

[murph-the-lurph]

lack of sleep and new meds=formication

should I be concerned?

Shoutout to the time my psychiatrist wanted me to get an entire physical examination because tactile hallucinations are "too rare" and it must've been something actually wrong with my nervous system.

Anyway I'm on an anti-pyschotic now and it works great.

The other Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider was in my pubic hair

I cried and whined and wept and wailed cause I could feel it there!

But when my pubic hair is gone no spiders hide on me

That’s why Mommy shaves me to keep me spider-free!
