why do i have to get a referral from my primary care doctor and have it ok’d by random strangers just to see a psychiatrist for med changes at the request of my therapist when i can literally get an appointment with any random doctor and say “i feel crazy gimme a new pill” and they’ll spin their wheel of antidepressants to see what concoction they’ll test on me this month

#i HATE THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM #why can you give me random meds that make me wanna kill myself but i have to wait 4 business days and the approval of the council just for #an APPOINTMENT with a specialist!!!! fuck you!!!!!

just got a prescription for drugs i had to sign for at the pharmacy. lets fucking go

#i had my specialist appointment today and i was DREADING it. everything was going wrong #the bus didn’t come. i didn’t have food. the doc was running an hour behind #by the time i got there i was half starved having a mild anxiety attack #but then she pulled out my ultrasound results and it showed fucking adenomyosis which means i likely have endometriosis too #let me tell you boys i almost started crying in there #after years of doctors telling me to suck it up & stop being a pussy i have actual proof that i’m not just being a pussy. CRYING #also the specialist told me my gp put me on estrogen for no reason (what i needed was progesterone) and i was so mad bc #that shit gave me feminising features i did not want and which are now irreversible #aside from not actually solving the problem…#anyway i’ve now got paperwork for surgery and different kind of progesterone pill plus the insane ass painkillers i had to sign for #i’m very happy with how that went. we are winning today boys #i feel bad for her bc i was so overwhelmed when she was flinging info at my starved brain at the speed of light #i kinda just shut down & was acting like a corpse in there. i must’ve looked really rude lol #it took me the hour’s walk back into town (was not taking the bus again 😂) to process everything #life

the fancy pants guy at my psych clinic had a fancy shirt on last time i went and it was a delight to see him as always

#It Speaks #i think hes a peer support specialist which is just someone who also gets treatment but is further along than you by their metric #basically a friend with psychiatric benefitsdskghskfgh #they have this thing called the wraparound approach which is like. intensive. but honestly i think its useful they just.#nobody read the room that i was too autistic to do my appointments in a fucking CUBICLE space #so ive been going to telehealth for appointments with people who dont have offices #its helped my ability to understand whats going on immensely #i reccomend checking into it for anyone who is struggling with sensory overload in mental health spaces bc this should be a full time optio #fingers cross ours miiiiiiiight have a program to sign up for a tablet with service so if the internet goes out i can still keep up #not hinging all my bets but its a possibility like the bus service thing im going to ask about and am writing in my book rn #i am going to access these services that are allowed to me for my problems even if it kills me

INTERNET FINALLY BACK AFTER A MONTH WITHOUT IT

#from the clouds #ive been living off of my data for so long.... you have no idea how stressful this whole thing was.#we had to completely upend the house twice. we made over 15 appointments with 5 different specialists (many were missed due to shitty #customer service)#ive completely failed a college class because of this. lol.#this has sucked so mucj and made me so depressed and break out so bad #protip: never have a neutralizer blow out which fucks over your cable. furnace. and power. and fries everything.#we have to get a bunch of things replaced now. im jist glad i thankfully didnt lose my computer

before you say "this specific condition is discussed all the time/receives all the attention/is actually cared about", think: are you too much of a gringo to say this?

#cpunk #cripple posting #cripple problems #dyspunktional #disability talk #chronic illness #'ah this may be a rare disease but its not AS rare every doctor knows it' Get Out.#like actually shut the fuck up. get out. nobody wants to listen to you booo.#come back when there are two specialists ON YOUR COUNTRY who KNOW about the condition.#both of which WILL NOT make an appointment with you.#then i may consider a friendly conversation. otherwise fuck off.#physdis #physically disabled #physical disability #unitypunk

yesterday I had my rescheduled-due-to-COVID shoulder appointments and I got to spend 20 minutes digging my car out (with help!) and drive through one of the worst winter storms I've seen in A While to get to them

bc like look were the roads horrible? yes. was visibility horrible? yes. did my workplace literally close and lock the doors? yes. but I was NOT gonna reschedule my appointments again for a little snow.

#btw ''a little snow'' in this instance translates to like 15 inches #the Midwest got hit HARD yesterday #but I drove as careful as I could and everything was done and finished #and now I wait until my follow-up next week for a shoulder treatment plan #but my ankle! I had an MRI for that as well yesterday!#and when my doctor got the results today she sent me a message saying #''you really did a number on your ankle! you definitely need to be seeing a specialist so good thing you've got an appointment today''#(not exactly that but that was the gist. tho she did outright say I did a number on my ankle)#so yeah my ankle is Fucked Severely but the specialist I saw today is optimistic it can be treated without surgery #wait where's that meme I made a while back I'm gonna post it again #speechie sucks at health #speecher speaks

im never going to get quality healthcare am i

#im just going to keep decaying and get shucked around from specialist to specialist #and they all do the same fucking thing. next to nothing.#they blame it on my anxiety or my weight #they dont give me the time of fucking day. ive had appointments that didnt even last THREE MINTUES #they'll run a test or two and very rarely do a procedure #and when that yields jack shit they dump me saying there's nothing they can do #and they apologize and say they're so sorry and they wish they could do more #I DONT WANT YOUR APOLOGIES I WANT YOU TO FUCKING TREAT ME INSTEAD OF HALF ASSING THIS SHIT #YOU WENT TO MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR HOW LONG?? YOU CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO DO? BUT IM THE BAD GUY FOR PLAYING DR GOOGLE?#i've SPENT HOURS TRYING TO FIGUREOUT WHATS WRONG WITH ME #YOU HAVENT EVEN SPENT ONE #FUCK YOU holy SHIT #youre just going to leave me to suffer and die. cant wait to live a totally unfulfilling life. never get the chance to live.#i know the life i want and i cant fucking have it. it's nigh impossible #i just want to be happy. but how can i be happy when almost no one takes care of me #julian rants #vent

Waking up because of pain but hey the doctor has no time for me this month so

#fuck this i hate this #shit healthcare all over #the doctor has no time and takes no appointments #but other doctors take no patients #hospital only want you in life or death scenarios #I understand right?#and I can't go to a specialist unless my doctor allows me to #and ding dong she is too busy for a three minutes visit #I hate this

I miss when I was able to get good health insurance that wasn't just stupid

#I work for a company that owns a health insurer #And every year we continue to get the stupidest plans #The high deductible plan has a lower deductible than the other plan option #The non high deductible plan is basically just like 'nothing counts towards your deductible and fuck you if you happen to get an out of #Network provider. Oh shit I hope that ambulance was an actual emergency as deemed by us!!'#Like??? Your website sucks at finding providers. Get the fuck out of here.#Any ways I guess I'm going back to the high deductible plan and finding a way to navigate the system so I don't have to pay for every #Therapy appointment oop #Ugh I have to make a few more specialist appointments this year too. What a delight.

I hope that doctor dies. By my hands. I'll rip her apart with my bare hands and teeth and burn her body parts and then dance in her ash

#istg i never thought i would ever cry in front of a doctor but here we are #and she can be glad my reaction to intense anger is crying and not physical aggression #because I'd have snapped her neck #anyway #i also discovered a great new lifehack #if you need an appointment with a specialist and they offer you an appointment 6 months from now (sept.)#and you say 'aw ok i won't be in the country by then anymore :/'#they will give you an appointment in 2 weeks #this is funny as fuck to me #sorry #shut up amy

so. i guess i have to go to urgent care tomorrow. & show the doctor my lab results. & try to get in for a cancer screening that way

#jesus fucking christ.#my aunt (who works in the medical field) saw my lab results bc i showed them to her #and she went 'they didnt refer you to a specialist? they didnt call you?'#and i had to explain that no they didnt bc they told me to lose weight instead #but like. i dont know how my weight correlates to my red blood cell count & other results #they referred me to a dermatologist for cancer screening because of my moles #booked that appointment and guess what. earliest was DECEMBER #b R U V #anyway if i end up getting diagnosed with leukemia i'm going back in time to 15 year old me #and telling her she is psychic. bc when i was 15 i had this gut feeling i had developed bipolar & 5 years later i got diagnoses with it #around the same time i speculated abt the bipolar i also speculated i may have some chronic form of leukemia #bc i would get these red dot patches on my arms + my doc at the time told me i had severe anemia #but they blamed the anemia on my insanely heavy periods + the lethargy on my Teen Angst™️#but i just had this sinking feeling there was more to it #& now 9 years later i feel like my body is shutting down + dying and i have lab results that prove 1) my liver is FUCKED and #2) my red blood count is FUCKED #and 3) my cholestrol is FUCKED #god if i actually do have blood cancer i'm going to scream

I do have to wonder how much of my ‘blood pressure being high’ was just due to 1) anxiety and 2) not being able to put the fact that this doctor basically killed my friend’s sister-in-law out of my mind

#okay she didn’t KILL her kill her but she failed to notice this woman had stomach cancer for well over a year #she presented with every symptom and this doctor kept fobbing her off; cancelling appointments; losing referrals etc #until Finally she managed to get referred to a specialist and they did a scan and found out she had stage 4 stomach cancer #she died six months after that. she’d been living without treatment for a year prior to diagnosis like… they could’ve saved her #this doctor specifically could’ve saved her #why did i see this doctor you ask? well there’s four doctors at my regular practice. two of them are male. i don’t fuck with male doctors #nothing against them but discussing my personal intimate problems with a man i don’t know and no chaperone is just not for me #i also had a male doctor repeatedly make weird comments about my body when i was a teenager so there is that #my dentist is a man though and we like him. one boy allowed #Anyway so there’s the two male doctors and then there’s this woman who basically killed my friend’s family member #and then there’s the other woman doctor but she is on leave at the moment and only taking phone appointments. she wouldn’t be back until #after my microgynon prescription ran out and she can’t take my blood pressure over the phone. so i was like. would i rather be examined #by a man or someone who is an idiot at best and negligent at worse. or take my chances with freeballing this shit (my period)#so there i am sitting in this woman’s office seething and no surprise; the best figure she could get from me was 121 over 95 #bear in mind i’m usually sitting at 100 over 80. so.#she did take my blood pressure 5 times but the last time i saw she got an upper figure of 103 and she didn’t write the lower figure???#so i’m wondering if the meditation i was trying to do actually Did take my blood pressure down and she just didn’t want to accept it lol #should i buy a blood pressure monitor? i mean.. literally no because that’s an unnecessary expense and i’ve placed a moratorium #on unnecessary shopping in order to justify/afford a fucking TREADMILL #but seriously. i’m starting to wonder if i actually have hypertension or if i was just pissed at this woman. or if she’s just incompetent #i swear i’m not just mad because this is my second day of a reduced salt diet and i’m not enjoying it lol #i’m sticking to her orders i’m just….. i don’t know if it was bullshit or not. i mean how do i trust someone who watched a woman waste away #to skin and bone and continually fumbled referral paperwork and just overall failed to see that Something Was Very Wrong #i’m following her advice out of malicious compliance and because i don’t think it can hurt me but still. Still #personal

I know I'm supposed to be good and gracious and kind but yaknow what? Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish ableists would develop disabilities-chronic fatigue and pain and migraines and the rest of it- and I wanna give em a lick of what they gave me. How does it feel, to be told your best isn't good enough? That you're not trying hard enough? You can break your back and it'll never be enough to please me. Get a taste of your own fucking medicine

#Specifically @ my roommate who thinks that bc I 'get to' work from home I should have energy to do chores #After I told her a chore rotation would leave me struggling because I can't schedule energy like that #And now she's facing the consequences of her own fucking actions #The action being prioritising her convenience over my health #And she's tryna be mad at me about it #Being all 'I work two jobs and still find time and I get exhausted sometimes too'#Like she honestly has no idea what disabled means #Bitch my exhausted would put you in hospital #My exhausted would have you scrabbling for doctors appointments and specialists and referrals the whole ball #Yea you're exhausted I fucking would be too except for the fact that I cant even work 5 hours without becoming housebound for the next week #And you're out here working 40+ like it's no biggie #God I just she makes me so mad and the absolute lack of compassion or knowledge does my head in #Also she's just painting me up as the bad guy in her head so now anything can be a fucking infraction #It doesn't even have to be about cleaning anymore #ableism #Disability #me saying shit

I just realised tomorrow marks the 7ths week of me being sick and feeling like garbage lol It's some ups and downs but generally it's been a while since I've been healthy and none knows whats up which is nice.

#been to the doctor so many times #and at least my general doc is trying but she cant figure out what's wrong #and the throat specialist I've been to twice in one month got a very helpful “sounds like stress and you imagine all” for me #like thanks i keep having my ear throat and nose inflamed constantly and nothing i tried so far helped but surely its stress #my doc suspected a virus but we also didnt find any active anti bodies #so i was just told to rest and was off work for two weeks that also did nothing #so i worked again even tho my doc was like maybe not but i got psychological issues being home with nothing to do #gotta go to my dentist tomorrow to see if the source is there #but im sure its my ears but I'll never go back to that doc #i was there twice a month cuz it kept getting worse and got a stress stamp #stress i didnt even have lately cuz i got a healthy fuck you all work motivation now #and now I'll lose all chance for promotion cuz i cant do my usual 200% and my bosses translate that with: she broken now bye #going great #also don't really have motivation to draw anymore #I started to build model sets but idk if anyone would wanna see those #I also got a cyst on my ovaries and got an appointment in july #that gives me serious pms like i never had it before but ok #someone knows a doc that'll remove the whole uterus i don't need that shit anymore #anyways in case anyone's been wondering where i am lately or if anyone even read this my asks are open if anyone wants to ask smth #or ask my OCs they live rent free in my head and are very precious to me #even my new car is named Michael #he's cute and my record so far been 190km/h #one day I'll do the 225 he can do #just get off the road that day pls #that car was the onyl thing i worked for so idk what to do with my life now #save for car repairs maybe #anyone wants a pic of my child #he's orange #I'm very proud of myself i managed to save up for him quiet fast #these tags are wild but I'm feeling a bit more energetic thanks to some plant supplements my uncle gave me
