When "Just a Little" Can Be Life-Threatening: Understanding Allergies

Daily writing promptWhat’s something most people don’t understand?View all responses Let’s talk allergies. Not the sniffles-and-sneezes kind (although those are no fun, either!), but the serious, life-threatening kind. You know, the ones where exposure can trigger anaphylaxis or SJS – Stevens-Johnson Syndrome or TEN – Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (in my case, I have had – on different occasions…

frustrating how fucking. disabling. being disabled is rn. im tired

#migraine buddy helpfully showed me my midas score which puts me in severely disabled bc of my migraines based on their impact #which on one hand was helpful in a sense of like. hey dude. these things fuck you up and have a huge impact and jts a thing #most peiple dont have to deal with. but also was like. god yeah i sure am and also i sure am still working full time and having to just.#work thru them and cope bc i certainly cant afford to have less money #its so fuckin i furiating being disabled in the us. i cant stop working bc then ill loose my healthcare which still costs me so much money #scream. tired.#my PA for nurtec was denied bc my ins wants me to try a diff one first #which is stupid bc like one why do u get to override my dr for your budget.#why does my healthcare need to suffer because youre cheap. you arent living with this shit.#and also the alternatives they suggested are injection based which. is scary for me as someone who used to have a terrible needle phobia #jax is able to help me w them which is good bc i know i cant give myself them (maybe could do the auto injectors but idk)#but its still so. why are u like thia. also it took u so long to deny my PA and im on no preventatives rn waiting for Something #to be approved. ugh. scream.

Trying to get testosterone that’s not injections without insurance is a nightmare

#Im mostly trying to start with Not injections bc ik from what I’ve heard/asked around about #it takes more time for results to become outwardly noticeable for those than with injections #and I Want my changes to be less noticable since I’m still with my gfs family and idk how theyll react #but every time I’ve gone to pick it up its been like…$400-$500 #even with shit like goodrx or whatever #best price i was able to be offered was $140 paying in Cash but even that’s so… Money #Its just frustrating to have something that I want so close in reach and have money be in the way right now. I hate it.#osohe.txt #also. i mostly want not injections bc needles freak me ouuuut. ik theres auto injectors but thats also. money

Soooo I got my prescription for testosterone but I have so much anxiety. Idk why I’m so scared, I’ve been thinking about this for 8 years but suddenly I feel I’m afraid of making the wrong choice

#it doesn’t help that I started immediately getting shit from one of my sisters bc she was like “well who’s paying for it”#and like yeah I’m using insurance why tf would I not??? but we’re all on the same plan so she’s bitching about it idk why???#and I’m like yeah I’m trying to use it bc my auto injectors are expensive but /IM/ still the one paying th copay not mom #fuck I wanted to be happy but I just sobbed when I got home bc I felt so distraught and started feeling lost again

So the most commonly suggested thing that most people have at home that can be used as a sharps/needle disposal is a laundry detergent bottle

That is what I'm using and it worked fine for the Aimovig injectable I was using for my migraines (which either did nothing or made me worse)

Unfortunately, because of the failure of the Aimovig we decided to switch me to Emgality which I did for the first time last night, and the first injection is actually done as 2 injections

Unfortunately I went to put these in my laundry detergent/sharps disposal container and low-and-behold the top of the pen (where the needle is) is WAY too big to fit through either hole!

Like what the fuck?

So I'm of course having to stress about what I should do since these are used needles that need to be disposed of but also have the potential to accidentally stick me again

My eventual solution was to tape up the area and smash it with a hammer until it could be dropped in (taping it prevented the needle and the broken plastic from getting everywhere) and like it did work but was WAY too much work and literally makes no sense seeing as even the Emgality website suggests the detergent bottle for sharps disposal and yet their auto-injectors are incredibly difficult to get inside them

-_-

tuesdays are my testosterone shot days and i always posted a little "i did my t shot" thing on twitter every tuesday so now im doing that here. i did my t shot :)

#sam.txt #it is always a celebration because shots are notoriously difficult for me to do #i got an auto injector recently and it made my life a thousand times easier #but this time i think i did hit some old scar tissue because it really stung. my right leg is always difficult

getting hrt through kaiser: Hmm, you’ve been speaking to the gender therapist for six months now, and still don’t think you’re normal cis? Well, we’ll send in another referral for a prescription, hopefully someone responds to this one, but it’ll be the third try, so no guarantee. Also, the pharmacist might not get the memo that it’s covered, so the first month’s copay will be $300, is that ok?

getting hrt through planned parenthood: Christ, you’ve had dysphoria for how long? That suuuucks, I’m so sorry you’re going through that! Well, here’s a script for three months of boy juice, you can pick that up in an hour, also, I heard you mention a needle phobia, so I went and found an auto-injector so small you won’t even see or feel the poke. If your insurance provider gives you any trouble, I will personally burn their house down for you. See you in two weeks for bloodwork, have fun! ^_^

#fellas it has been a jarring experience #anyway if you want to be on t but hate needles get an auto-injector! mine is like an epi-pen it’s super easy to use!#im still extremely afraid of needles so i did still require 20 minutes of build-up to do it but that’s better than it would’ve been without #if i’d had to stick myself with one of those two-inch IM needles i would have actually passed out #the fact that i can use this thing at all is a goddamn medical miracle. hopefully next time i’ll only need ten minutes of build-up lmao #anyway donate to planned parenthood #hrt diary #trans #mouth words

today is an extra special testosterone tuesday bc i did my own shot for the first time today!!

#personal #ive been going to my doctors office every week to have it done by a nurse #but my new insurance isnt fully covering those visits and honestly its a time suck #i got an auto injector which makes it much less anxiety-inducing and honestly painless!#feeling very proud of myself for working through my needle phobia and gaining a new sense of independence

my PA for ajovy got denied (booo) but the reason it did was bc a neurologist needed to prescribe it which i already had an apt set up for and gad yesterday (yay!) and the appointment went really well and i like the provider a LOT of migraine management (YAY!!!) so now i am once again waiting for an ajovy PA to be approved lmao

#nervous abt needles but jax offered to help plus ajovy has auto injectors so we are going for it #but i really liked the provider she was good and very easy to talk to and stuff!! and am excited to work w her and try things #also got a referral to their sleep clinic bc my sleep is still Bad and also sleep is a big trigger for me #so im hopeful to see what i can figure out/learn from that #this is the year of blue getting health shit figured out lmak gonna get my tonsils removed etc etc lets Go #she also said i could be a candidate for botox if that seemed interesting but i like how like. open ended she was w things #like she gave me a lot of good info but also everything was my call #she also was good when looking at my mri and explained why she isnt concerned abt ms based on mri and symptoms #and in a way where i actually agree lol like. esp bc i get so anxious i can just latch on to something #but she took the time to answer my questions and explain and show what theyd see if it was ms vs my brain lesions from migraines #and Yeah! i was super stressed and like gad cleared my whole afternoon in case it was a bad time #but it wasnt! im v happy w my new neurologist!#wild to have TWO whole doctors on my care team who i like and trust???? as a fat person??? wow #(trust is w a grain of salt lol i dint entirely trust any doctor But)
