hi!! i was wondering how bunnycat is doing? :D

i think he's glad to be home! unfortunately his saliva/sweat/etc is still radioactive enough that we can't really cuddle him or let him free roam around the house for another 10ish days 😭 but we got him a bigass catio style enclosure with lots of perches and room for all his necessities/toys and set it up inside by the glass patio doors so he can watch birds all day and eek indignantly at us every time we walk in the room 🙃

#we can have physical contact with him for 10 minutes a day for the first week and then up to 20 minutes a day for the second #and then after those 14 days (counting from the initial injection date) we can return him to normal bunnycat life #we also have to keep all of his poop/litter in a sealed bucket for 90 days before the radiation levels decrease enough to throw out #otherwise you can get a huge fine from state waste management services apparently?#thankfully the place that did his procedure said we can bring it to them after these next 10 days and they'll take care of it #it's all kind of a logistical pain in the ass and not very ocd friendly but it's worth it to have a healthy happy bunnycat #his thyroid was just not responding to meds/the special thyroid sparing food so this was kind of the last resort #thank you for inquiring about the bunnylad! he appreciates you checking in #fashionablyfyrdraaca #asks

theres already tons of merry christmas posts for people who have a bad experience with holidays or have money problems or family issues...

But I wanna say

Merry christmas to those with health problems. Those with chronic illnesses, disabilities, pains, those who are in a very bad health condition, those who aren't in such a bad condition but still feel absolutely terrible and feel guilty because they think they shouldn't complain, those who just have a minor issue but it had to happen at christmas and now the day is ruined, and many more

to all of you

My thoughts are with you, you're not alone, you deserve to experience a happy christmas too

#merry christmas #merry chistmas 2023 #25 year old and ill only be able to see someone for my periods pain in.... many months #basically i go though too much pain for it to be normal #and my mother has some form of something thats like endometriosis but only limited to the uterus #and she says it can be genetic #so lol #its good to check #i already have cysts everywhere #my wrist my thyroid and one of my ovaries #this and my fucked up knee and hip (same side as my wrist its funny) and my tachycardia #i think god nerfed me because he knew id be too powerful if i was in full health

Okay after several hours of reading scholarly articles on what my body is going through, I have calmed down

#so hypothyroidism fucks your lipid profile (cholesterol/triglycerides)#and my thyroid is finally leveling out #but it's only been level for the past like 3 weeks or but normally when checking lipids they go 3 months between checks #I think I just a. haven't been exercising enough and b. my thyroid levels have only just normalized so we'll check again in 3 months #if in 3 months we're still having an issue with my TGs I'll look at ramping up some dietary changes (not cutting back on fruit tho)#but I am in a better headspace now #also i cried it all out #odt

"gurl why you so strong even though you dont work out" haha yeah i wonder (probably extra testosterone (my god-given hrt) (they dont even know))

#like that HAS to be the case right. there is much evidence #i had my blood drawn to check for thyroid problems before maybe we were checking the wrong hormones #god relegated my creation to one of his angels and it fucked up bad but he's slowly fixing me he's always got a plan #he said 'naw this bitch is a dude. body hair and adam's apple' and everyone else is stupid for not seeing it #i used to think what i was feeling in my neck WAS my thyroid but i know better now thanks to my anatomy class

always fun to remind myself of the side effects of my thyroid meds

#the first time i treated my thyroid my endo was like ‘i havent had a patient who had this happen for a while so im due for one’ THANKS MAN #personal #im just waiting for it to hurry up and work. my health has PLUMMETED in the last week or so #im so sick and i can’t DO ANYTHING. including SLEEP. even if i was getting enough good sleep i was be exhausted but i’m not so.#the energy’s doing Great #and i’m so hungry all the time but also nauseous so all food is unappealing #genuinely have no idea how i made it through years 7-10 undiagnosed. no wonder i ended up with such a severe phobia of going to bed????????#i don’t have to worry about routine right now so it’s not as stressful (just horrible because i’m so tired) but i COULDNT SLEEP back then #im just relieved that this time it was found through a routine check rather than me getting a test because of symptoms #usually i test when my anxiety gets really bad in a specific way #but my anxiety isn’t bad this time. no panic attacks and also no migraines. those are all usually the worst to deal with #so comparatively this isn’t even a particularly bad episode?/relapse?/flare?#still more sick than i’ve been in……..years?#im not sure if covid was better or worse. but it was only really bad for a week #this’ll be worse overall because it’ll last a lot longer #hopefully only a month or two but that’s still a few months of my life that just vanish. cool!!!!!!!!!!!#and there wasn’t even a notable event to trigger it this time. first time was whooping cough and subsequent times have been things like—#starting uni and then the last 2 years of uni where i took 10 units in one year then overworked myself doing my thesis #im SLIGHTLY worried that maybe i’ve developed rheumatoid arthritis and that set it off because it’s also autoimmune #i should see my gp soon to get a general antibody test. my joint have been so bad it’s been hard to walk for quite a few months #idk man it all sucks. but for now at least i have my white blood cells (even if they’re literally the problem lmao)

seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow and every single time i somehow hope that today he will whip out a new miracle pill that will magically cure me of all my problems

instead he will look at me and i will look at him and we will suffer in silence because my brain should be great. we have everything covered. and yet. maybe i need to add a third anti depressant and another anti psychotic and then i will finally become neurotypical tm.

#alex yells at the void #at this point if you told me electroshock therapy would rid me of my trauma #i'd happily do it #like 300 mg of bupropion‚ 10 mg of escitalopram‚ 200 mg of quetiapine‚ and 20 mg of methylphenidate and SOMEHOW #SOMEHOW my brain is still like. wow. this sucks. thank you for the pills. anyway how about we die like right now #idk maybe i should get all my physical shit checked. again #magically hoping that my thyroid or smth is fucked up and another pill will fix it and then im great

Real question for Online, if you've had a benign tumor for awhile and it's not precancerous or pressing on any nerves or blocking any blood/lymph/chyme/bile flow pathways and all it does is give you annoyingly intractable GERD and the "checkup"/biopsy is an invasive procedure involving twilight anesthesia you're allergic to so you need IV Benadryl and extra consultations and patches and igE shots scheduled and an allergist on site. Can you just ignore it. I haven't checked my stomach tumor in 4 years but enough people around my age have been developing rare, aggressive cancers that now I'm like. 💀 But also. I'm don't Want To have an endoscopic ultrasound and get my tumor biopsied again, that shit sucks so hard

#My mom is like this with her thyroid tumor I come by it honestly #We're going to die bc we fucking hate Tumor Checkups #Make it hurt less! Make it less miserable! Don't make it every 6 months! Fuck you!#I got PTSD from my last endoscopic ultrasound and just ghosted the clinic and #Have not checked my tumor since #In my defense I woke up during surgery and then they gave me anaphylaxis #But someone I follow on ig just got diagnosed with stomach cancer in their 30s 💀

tbh the money is a big factor like I'm trying to finally get my shit together medically after letting some things fall to the wayside for years and like my insurance is Not That Great but also like the other factor is it's really hard to remember to make phone calls and schedule a bunch of appointments when your brain doesn't work. and then if you succeed you get to spend hundreds of dollars. well at least I got that raise LMAO

#actually like the other thing that sucks is my ex has adhd but like diagnosed and medicated. meanwhile I'm out here rawdogging my brain #so i wanna ask him about the process #but also that's kind of humiliating lmao #to be like hey I'm finally dealing with some of the shit that fucked up our relationship. no i don't wanna get back together #not ever ever ever. but can i get a referral lmao #....i also really need to get my thyroid checked. I'm like probably years overdue but i have no sense of time (thanks untreated adhd!)#but I'm also actively dealing with my like pelvic floor issues and like that and the adhd are more of a priority #tho it would be nice to find out if i have a functioning endocrine system #to delete later maybe

how do people decide when to make doc appts?? is it just based on doc availability?? and then if they gotta take time off work for that then they do..??

#personal #yeah I uhh haven't been to a check-up in ages l0l #and last time woulda been when I only worked M-Th so possibly I did Friday or actually I think I went early bc I used to regularly start #work at like 10:30 lmao....#also thx anon I might ask them to check that. I think last time when I was seeing a psych and got recced to get my vitamin levels checked #everything was normal? including thyroid? but it's been... many years now lmao #also should I try to get on antidepressants lmao. maybe it would help...

Screaming along to songs in my car can unfortunately only do so much

#stuff sarah says #the world is so scary and im so scared like i dont think you get it #i am frozen with so much fear at the thought of everything and how unbearably complicated life has become #and everything is micro and idk how else to put it? just. microlables microtransactions micromanaging #i hate it all so much #and theres so many boxes? and they keep getting smaller and i just? maybe i dont want people to put me in a box #maybe i dont want to check a box maybe i dont want to round up my transaction maybe i dont want #microplastics. thats another one. theres fucking microplastics. in my teabags.#but maybe i want people to stop looking at me and assuming they know me bc i barely know me #i would like to just exist. i hate taxes. i hate wanting to throw up when thinking about talking to people about things #i hate hate hate worrying about every word that comes out of my mouth #i want people to stop using therapy lingo in daily conversations and also everyone needs to stop fucking yelling #i havent been taking my thyroid medicine and im so cold and i wonder if thats affecting my mood too #anyway what do you think happens when we die? like i know what a lot of people think happens but what actually happens? you know?#is any of it...? like? you know?#im going to start crying ha ha ha #i watched some sad episodes of a show. also i maybe started my period #i never fully know anymore when it starts. my body is fucked lmao #why am i typing all of this? i dont think anyone should actually care about any of this #idk i just want things to be simple again

I kinda hate that covid messed up my eating habits because they were already bad. But now it’s hard to even eat one meal a day. All I can do is drink water and even then that hurts my stomach.

#*drinks a bottle of water* *throws up*#*eats three bites of a sandwhich**throws up*#I shoved a bunch of food in my mouth because I’m so hungry and guess who threw up lol #the thing speaks #it’s just. annoying.#and my mom is watching me and keeps checking up on if I’m eating #which is nice but also she keeps telling me about my weight as well. which is not helping.#‘if you don’t eat properly your thyroid will get messed up and gain EVEN MORE weight.’ ah. thanks.

a week ago i might have said i feel mostly ok, just a little off, but i am Suffering now. why can’t graves’ disease have fun symptoms like……………idk i can’t think of anything.

#personal #dr said she’d send a prescription by mail and email and i haven’t got either yet. how long does it take to send an email????#it’s the end of the next day after she said that. helloooooo can i have my thyroid medicine before i’m stuck in bed all day pleeeease #i can’t even enjoy lying in bed because i keep getting hot flushes #for now i will just lie here and try to stave off migraines. how tf did i do this for 4 years before i was diagnosed ugh #no wonder it was such a horrible time and i ended up with such bad agoraphobia from symptoms i haven’t developed yet this time #i’d better not start having panic attacks before i get my medicine. not the panic attacks that my thyroid gives me #i still have panic attacks but those ones were always like. ah i am Actually dying. complete certainty i’m having a heart attack #ended up with such bad heart anxiety that my wrists were constantly bruised from checking my pulse #anyway. hopefully some aggressive treatment knocks it out within a few months. if i ever get the fucking prescription #sorry i’m mad. that’s also a symptom lmao kill me #at least i have my heart meds because i still take those sometimes
