#chronic illness hcs

[imsociallyanxiousgetoverit]

Trailblazer has full body chronic pain from the Stellaron (as did Cocolia in specifically her head from the influence) so when one day they’re injured enough to pass out and is healed using futuristic tech (or the more realistic route that they’re given pain medication) they freak out once awake because everything feels very different in an almost too good way (maybe they feel too light, floaty, like dissociation, since they aren’t used to that lack of constant grounding) so they struggle to understand they aren’t like in a bad situation; WHICH means we can have others realize they have chronic pain (including them btw they didnt know they were in pain constantly cuz they legit Woke Up Like That) and like ya know everyone together having to figure out how they feel about it and what can be done to help, if anything

“Does it hurt when you-“ It hurts when I wake up in the morning and when I walk and when I sit and when I lie down and when I go to bed and when I eat and when I drink and when I breathe and when I blink and

Danny developing any chronic condition that leads to periods of joint stiffness (and other things, but the major part is stiffness) has a ton of angst potential in regards to his status as one of the living.

Imagine being something in between life and death and then your joints get all stiff for the first time. I'd imagine someone in that situation who is unsure of their humanity *might* just jump to thinking it was rigor mortis starting to kick in.......

Is this anything

[ID: A colourless sketch of Penny, Arven and Nemona from Pokemon. They're all walking together and having a nice conversation.

Penny is wearing her canon outfit - a pokemon hoodie, a big fluffy eevee backpack, a skirt and tights. She's walking with a rollator that has her pokeballs docked at the front. She's decorated it with eevee things. She's doing a :3 face.]

Arven is using a powerchair with ultra ball motifs on it. He's wearing a puffer vest with a hoodie underneath and cargo shorts. He's more heavyset than in canon.

Nemona is using crutches. She has a sporty, flowy tank top on and shorts, and she has a joyful expression. End ID.]

Crepus *talking to a sister in the church*: Listen, I have no idea what's up with him. He just woke up and told me he was in pain, I tried to give him medicine but he refused because he said it wouldn't work.

The sister: And you still gave it to him, right?

Crepus: Yeah, of course, he took it himself after I insisted. But after two hours it just got worse, he seems used to it and when I asked him what could've caused it he just...

Kaeya *8 years old, sitting on the bed, visibly in pain and generally annoyed*: IT'S BECAUSE THE ARCHONS HAVE FORSAKEN ME! I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOUUUU!!!

Crepus: Did that...

Kaeya: THERE IS NO CURE! LET ME GO HOME, DILUC SAID WE CAN PLAY PRETEND WHEN I GET HOME!!!

rain is tired all the time. and in pain.

it is what it is, what comes with a faulty vessel like his or zephyrs. he's used to it already. or is he?

he can dealt with it, mostly. sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse, but in general he's okay. he's got his pack, he's got his music. he's okay.

until he's not.

until all he can do is lay and stare at the ceiling unable to move with a lump in his throat because everything hurts and he's too tired to even cry.

his phone is thrown somewhere next to him on the bed, battery probably below 20%. he could grab it and send a text (would his fingers manage?) to someone, anyone, and ask for...

yeah, what exactly? help? help in what? there's no helping him, is there? he's fucked up and that's it.

so he lays there, unable to move, unable to cry, unable to fall asleep. all he can do is listen to his shallow breathing and racing heart and feel all the pain coursing through his broken body.

until it's decent again.

until the day when the decent won't come back...

The first time Essek felt a wave of Dunamancy pass over him felt like freedom. Each spark shooting through his veins helped ease the tension in his muscles until they were just a dull throb instead of a burning star. His bones, which were usually so heavy, floated as if he was gliding on air; it wouldn't be long until he actually was.

There was something different from any school of magic he had tried before, something that made him feel like he was breathing for the first time. There was an electricity underneath his skin that awakened every nerve ending. Not in the painful, stabbing way that had accompanied him since his youth but something that left him wanting more.

When the magic ebbed from his fingers, the coldest drew closure. The weight of the world slowly crushed Essek back down to Exandria until the world was suffocating him again. The withdrawal shooting ice through his veins until his body was screaming for the warmth it had only just come to know. The moment Dunamancy first flowed through his essence, Essek knew, was the day he was truly lost. He would chase that feeling for the rest of his days to chase the pain away. Essek would be the one to decipher Dunamancy's mysteries and make that power his own, that first wave of freedom his call from the Universe that he was made for this purpose. He would do anything to feel a single second of that spark beneath his skin again, anything to unravel that feeling and never let it go; no matter the cost.

thinking about maria miller having severe iron deficiency anemia!!!!!!!!!

ft. good husband tommy and, more importantly, good boy buckley

- she had really intensely cold hands and feet as a kid and would be the type to tuck them under her dad’s thighs whenever he was sitting next to her

- she was constantly, constantly chewing ice well into her teens, to the point where it drove her parents bonkers. she is partial to the crescent shaped cubes, because she is also bonkers

- she would constantly get sick with cold and flu, and currently in jackson she deals with chronic fatigue

- after she hit puberty and started menstruating, all her symptoms got more intense and she started having fainting spells. following the third, she was finally diagnosed by a doctor who cared and put all her symptoms together. from then on, she would take on iron therapy supplements

- her dad was That Guy and kept not only emergency survival packs but extra bottles of iron pills in his car, so after The Day Everything Went To Shit, maria is actually pretty set meds wise for a couple years. she basically rations them by saving them for periods when it was tough to find food

- by the time they get to jackson, she is and knows people skilled enough to be able to get her iron from the red meat of wild game

- after her father dies, no one in jackson is left to know about her deficiency—because she doesn’t tell anyone. she’s not used to nor comfortable with people besides her dad caring and worrying about her, so she doesn’t expect anyone to want to know. she doesn’t think it’s useful information for the community, so why not just keep it to herself, right??

- wrong

- tommy and jackson residents definitely find out because, one day when it was a little too hot out she just, like, FULL ON fainted while tommy’s repair group was working on a weak part of the wall. tommy caught her before she fell because he was right there flirting with her because at this point he only has a big big BIG crush that everyone in jackson can see, and everyone is like??????? YO???? MARIA??????? SOMEBODY GET THE MEDIC WTF???

- she wakes up a few seconds after and is just like “sorry yall :) happens sometimes” and everyone is like WHAT THE FUCK. MARIA. tommy and her bestie talia (dina’s older sis) very pointedly do not leave her side for like two days

- from then on, tommy and talia (along with the rest of the entirety of jackson) are on self-appointed Iron Duty. they make sure to always save her a plate of eggs because she’s always is late to breakfast due to getting caught up in with work way way way too early in the morning

- tommy remembers sarah had to start taking iron and other vitamins and shit after she started her period, too, so he knows what foods are rich in iron and works with jackson’s cooks/farmers to keep what they can get on deck

- he finds a lil whistle randomly on a patrol one day and makes a clip/keychain thingy so that she can keep it on her person at all times. he tells her very, actually seriously to “whistle for him if she’s ever feeling faint,” and it’s so stupidly ridiculous that she laughs straight in his face. still, it’s charming, she takes it and promises to use it anyway

- after they get together, tommy is the one to rub warmth into maria’s hands and feet, and heart

- he’s just there for her in all the ways a partner should be, getting to know maria so well that he can spot in an instant if she’s goin fatigued (which is useful because she’s gotten so used to working through it that it’s hard for her to tell, sometimes)

- he’s always trading for extra blankets and beanies and gloves for her, and one of his favorite things in the world is when she lets him bundle her up layer by layer and tuck her in to sleep. this is bittersweet, of course, because usually she only lets him do so on a particularly Bad Body Day

- after they get buckley, tommy trains him to to go over to maria’s feet and lay down over them on the command of “buckley, bundle up!”

- the one time maria faints after that, it’s of COURSE when she’s fresh out the shower and tommy isn’t home. buckley is, though, and he ends up sending a majority of jackson into panic on his way to tommy, barking and yowling and running faster than anyone’s seen him. he tracks tommy to whatever rando house he’s working on and leads him home in maybe 2 minutes flat. by the time he gets back, maria is completely okay aside from being a bit weak and disoriented. tommy is so thankful to buckley that the super awesome amazing very good boy gets big juicy pieces of jerky everyday straight for a month

Why is it that I have DID and suddenly I keep getting diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses

[dawneternal]

thinking about Cassian with a chronically ill mate who tells him about the spoon theory and from that point on the carries a spoon in his pocket so that ever you tell him you're low on spoons he can pull it out and be like "you can have one of mine" and he thinks he's a comedic genius.

really though I think he'd be so sweet. doing yoga with you, keeping the freezer stocked with ice packs, diligently picking up prescriptions. I think he'd give the best massages and he'd know what food to make you that'll help with your symptoms and vitamin deficiencies.
