I remember seeing the flyers for domestic violence in the bathroom whenever I’d go to urgent care.

I usually would be getting in to check if I had a UTI

It was the easiest way to get antibiotics on short notice

Or to be validated in my IC diagnosis!

Anyway

I’d think to myself -

Well I’d dissociate first -

And I’d think

That’s not my situation

They’re not physically abusive

I’m not scared of my best friend

They would never hurt me

And my body would plunge into more pain as I left my urine sample for the nurse

It’s time to make coasters from a bunch of HSTs from the box of scraps I got!

I’m aiming for 4” ish square, and I’m making A Bunch so I can give them to my endocrinologist’s entire staff because they have hugely improved my quality of life. Like. By leaps and bounds. I’d make them all full quilts if I knew how many people worked there but that’s maybe a little much so quilted coasters it is! And maybe some quilted mug cozies!

#sewing #sewing wip #scrap management #coasters for endocrinology #I had a stress related flare up yesterday #that got to the point that would (prior to my current meds) take me like 2-6 weeks to recover from #and I am fine! mildly sore and I’m pushing water and salt a bit today to be on the safe side #but I’m not dizzy or shaky or nauseous or exhausted #as soon as I took my evening dose of steroids yesterday I was fine!#tired but fine and able to rehydrate with no problem at all #which is an absolutely phenomenal difference and I am so so grateful to this endocrinologist #who is my FOURTH endocrinologist #but somehow the first one EVER to bother to test my SED rate and for autoimmune antibodies #it’s been twelve years but hey at least he’s doing the tests #and the funny thing is it’s looking increasingly like my problem is not endocrine related like I thought it was #anyway he’s the best and I am envious of his flannel shirts

i complain a lot about how sitting in a classroom was torture for teen me without then applying the logical leap of "maybe your severely hyperactive ADHD ass wouldn't be filled with so much uncontrollable rage if you walked around a bit" but today i've gone out aimlessly wandering and ended up on a pretty hospital campus (needed to get labs done), at the library, at my favorite coffee shop, in my favorite downtown suburb, and now i'm gonna go meet rafi at work with a hot chocolate for them, and overall i'm like. SO calm.

#born to write stories forced to ambulate while i do or i start fantasizing about graphic murder #in fairness to me the ability to ambulate is robbed from me on bad flare days.#but when i'm not flaring. i have some lost time to make up for #autoimmune tag #adhd tag #every time i get bored i just pack up and wander to a new place. it's awesome

loving reminder to my fatigue friends that if you are supposed to be resting for health reasons (whether you have cfs/me, some kind of post-viral fatigue, or other chronic illnesses causing fatigue), this does include your brain and spending your time in bed reading mentally and emotionally draining news for hours will not be helping and may be doing actual harm

#this is a reminder for myself #'why am i hitting a fatigue wall I've done so much less this week'#idk néide maybe because all the time you're sitting down or in bed you're bombarding your brain with awful shit to process #i know it feels bad to turn away from the bad shit #but. genuinely. sometimes you have to because negative mental stimulation is pushing you into a flare-up #generalised autoimmune fuckery

I started having a flare up while we were cuddling, almost asleep. You held me as I cried, got me water and pain meds when I couldn't handle it anymore. Now you're getting me snacks because I mentioned wanting some. All of this, even though you're tired. You told me that even if you didn't sign up for this, it didn't matter, because you love me no matter what. You called me your perfect boy. How did I become so lucky.

#mlm #mlm yearning #trans mlm #mlm thoughts #autoimmune #autoimmine disease #flare up #disabled bf #i love him so much #hes getting me sweet tea and french fries from McDonald's #i love having horrible pain in my legs and then having tremors in my leg which leads to pulled muscles in one #and numbness

"didn't you have a ticket to one of the good omens season 2 screenings?"

er...

"you did. you were making a huge deal out of it in the chat. what happened to it?"

(mutters inaudibly) I gave it away

"you WOT?????"

(┬┬﹏┬┬)

#good omens #in my defence it's because I found out there wouldn't be subtitles so I'd be having a visual-only experience #plus the cost of the train and the logistics of staying overnight were just not lining up right #and i'm in the middle of a REALLY bad autoimmune flare up right now so i can't really feel my legs or hands lmao #BUT I STILL WANTED TO MAKE IT WORK #accessibility

forget "your body is a wonderland"...

because my body? it's one of the many overgrown, deeply haunted theme parks left to rot and rust and be reclaimed by nature.

none of it....looks like it would collapse on top of you, were you to peek inside an attraction, but maybe keep an eye on the joints holding up the support beams, because the groans they're making when the wind blows is...alarming.

I am literally in the worst flare up I have ever had in my life. I have taken every med I can take and have found no relief. I've tried heat, ice, laying down, walking, standing, sitting. Everything hurts. Nothing helps. On top of everything I have insomnia and I want to rip my hair out. I have never been this uncomfortable.

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)

forgot i very wisely put my braces on because i'm busing all over town today doing pre-storm errands & i had a moment of being like "wow, weird, the bus drivers are being EXTRA nice to me..... with all the other passengers they seem to be in a hurry but for me they keep waiting to move til i fully take my seat... am i limping really badly today or something??"

and then i looked down at my bondage geared legs and was like oh. right.

girl. you are crippled.

#THANK U FOR WAITING FOR THE CRIPPLE TO SIT DOWN BUS DRIVERS I LOVE UUUU #it's been a while since i straight-up forgot i look disabled. what a weird privilege that is #autoimmune tag #ehlers danlos life #i guess. it's a little of both. subluxed joints have worse outcomes when i'm mid-flare like this.

gonna take a break from slowly losing my mind while writing ch 13 of Cyto to add the shapeshifter au to the fic list

#i meant to do it days ago but work + very bad flare up has been making it very hard to do anything other than lie facedown on the floor #on an unrelated note does anyone know if inflammatory autoimmune diseases can cause brain inflammation?#because if so that would uh. explain some things

Currently in zoom class and there are several technical issues going on tonight and I am so overstimulated and I’m being so brave about it or however the phrase goes

#I’m sleep deprived #I’m in the middle of a bad autoimmune flare up #I’m doing my best lol #ren rambles
