Hi! Wanted to do a little introduction post for all of my 0 followers currently! I’m Trinity (trin) and I am a 21 year old, Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes nearly soon to be 2 years in August 2022 when I was 19 years old. I wanted to create a safe, fun and informative space for other diabetics to learn and chat about Type 1 Diabetes and other forms of diabetes too. This is an open and safe environment for all! I hope you all enjoy! Please introduce yourselves, it would be fantastic to get to know you all!! (will include a little selfie below! that’s me ⬇️) - Trin 🧃💉
One of the 5 labs ordered today, needed a control person to give a blood sample, who doesn't live with me and is not a DNA match., but someone healthy.
Redgrasshopper w/o hesitation offered to do it.
This shocked me. I don't know why but it means a lot to me he's was so willing to support and help me... Just one of the many ways he shows up for me.
Other labs have to wait as ivig I just got 18 days ago will give false readings to my igg levels and antibody testing.
Implying her auto-immune disorder isn’t real is kinda fucked up, y’all. She’s posted about health issues and surgeries for years. I know she lies about other things, but the countless hospital pictures, surgeries, and trouble with eating seems like plenty of proof for me. As someone with an invisible chronic illness that gives me digestion issues, I worry that people see me and think I’m lying too. Invisible illnesses are real.
Two days ago I rode over a mile and a half on my scooter.
Tonight I did 10 (admittedly pathetic) push-ups, heald a wall sit for a minute and a half, heald a plank for almost 20 seconds and did 10 step ups!
Maybe that sounds pathetic, to me it sounds like victory, last Last December I couldn't walk up more than a flight of stairs without nearly passing out up. Last winter I was wracked with low grade fevers every night for weeks. The fall of 2022, I was sick so often I failed two classes, the summer off 2022 I never thought I'd get better. Winter 2021 I walked with a cane. Brusing my knees on the pavement when I tried to go without it, my joints to weak to hold me up.
Tonight I did 10 push-ups, two days ago I rode a mile and a half, a month agao I walked across campus in the rain (for the first time in two years I was outside in the rain without feeling sick).
It’s nice when you finally get medication and can breathe. Feeling like you’re crazy because your symptoms just don’t make sense. Anyways, vent over. Doctors currently thinking psoriatic arthritis. It’ll be trial and error now for awhile. But here’s me 🙃
