For those who self h@rm by cvtting, here’s some tips for taking care of yourself from someone whos being doing it for 10+ years

•It’s okay, don’t think any less of yourself for relapsing. It happens and its okay. No one ever tells you that its okay.

•Invest in a person first aid kit, I’m a first responder so I’ve always been stocked up. You should make sure your kit has the following:

• sterile cleansing wipes (you can never have enough of these)

•Conforming bandages (you’ll need this for bigger cuts to help keep the gauze secure

•Microporous Tape

•Different size wound dressings

•Plasters of all different sizes (fabric ones work best I find)

•Kitchen roll (I know that sounds strange but it helps to stop the bleeding, where as tissue just falls to bits)

•Some wound closure stitches (butterfly stitches)

•Wash your hands properly before you cvt, it will help keep you safe okay

•Whatever your going to cvt with make sure you give it a good clean with a sterile wipe, I got some nasty infections from not doing this when I was young.

•After you have had your ‘session’ (at least that’s what I call mine) make sure that you treat your wound properly:

•Hold the kitchen roll to your wound until it stops bleeding.

•Clean the area with the sterile wipes thoroughly

•If it is small enough for a plaster then out that on there

•If not use the wound dressings, measure up to the wound ensuring that there is a good finger width between the edge of the cut and the end of the dressing

•Use the tape to secure it into place

•Hold one end of the bandage away from the wound before you start wrapping it (so you have something to tie it off with)

•Don’t wrap it too tight or it will be uncomfortable and you’ll want to take it off

•Change the bandage or plaster every day at least once (I know that it’s hard but if you don’t it might cause an infection)

•If you cvt too deep, it happens it’s okay I’ve been there, push firmly against the wound with a tea towel or any fabric you can get. If the blud is pouring out I’m going to need you to hold it against you wound as hard as you can and then a little harder. Call you Emergencey service number (999, 911 etc) they will talk you though what you have to do and get you help.

•Dispose of any blades you use, don’t use them twice it WILL cause an infection that can get into your blood. I bought pencil sharpeners on Amazon for very cheap. One use only okay? You don’t want to get sick over it.

•If you want to help your scars become less visible use Bio Oil I think that it works the best and really helped me with the ones on my arms.

•There are things that can help you with your urges or relapses.

•Some helpful apps that I would recommend are:

•StayAlive (I have had this on my phone for many years now and it has saved my life

It has saved my life on many occasions and if you find that you are in need of die help, you can show it to the emergency services and they will help you okay. We are trained in this.

•Harm less (It gives you motivational things whenever you open it, it’s 100% customisable and it can help you keep track of your relapses)

•Its okay to relapse, I’ve been though it many times, I recently just relapsed acted a 250+ day gap. Its okay and no one says it enough. You haven’t let anyone down, no one is disappointed in you, your okay.

Just some tips I’ve learnt over time, it’s going to be okay

Fun new skin bullshit just dropped: it has apparently now decided to react to the dressing pads I've been having to stick on with Micropore tape, since it already couldn't handle any of the band-aid adhesives i've tried. 🤣

Seriously, I had to redo a DIY makeshift band-aid that I put on my leg, using a folded-up piece of freaking paper towel instead. My sock kept rubbing at a little mystery scrape on my leg, and it was starting to look inflamed. Better give that shit some protection--and I guess paper towel is better than no cover. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are only a couple of kinds of tape my skin can handle for more than like 30 minutes anymore. And I try to keep exposure to those down, just in case. You really never know what this bitchy skin will decide it hates next.

Apropos of forest and national parks rangers (the dedicated Shit Has Gone Sideways Handlers) having their jobs axed, and as a former hiker, I think that if you’re outdoorsy, you ought to be aware of the following resources:

- Where There Is No Doctor by David Werner & Carol Thurman, regarded by the WHO as the reference text for remote medicine (Internet Archive PDF link)

- Stop the Bleed training, available in the US & UK, which provides training on how to stop haemorrhage in an emergency situation outside of a clinical environment (website link to local training)

- Manual CPR instruction via Revivr, the dedicated British Heart Foundation manual CPR training programme (website link)

- what3words, which generates three unique words that allow emergency response & public safety bodies to locate users (available on android & Apple app stores)

WHILST NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP IN A TIMELY MANNER, I’d really recommend that folks familiarise themselves with these resources, particularly emergent wound care & how to use what3words, as in an emergency situation, all preparedness is helpful.

In addition to all of this, I really recommend that folks have a first aid kit in their backpacks/vehicles.

You do not need the Batcave in your rucksack or your car boot, but it never hurts to be prepared. You can find stocked first aid kits in most pharmacies and retailers.

Failing that, here is how I stock my personal ‘on the go’ first aid kit for my backpack:

- 1 x card of paracetamol/acetaminophen tablets

- 1 x card of aspirin tablets (substitute for ibuprofen if you’re on blood thinners, have a clotting disorder or have other contraindications for aspirin use)

- 5 x alcohol antiseptic wipes

- 1 x tube of antiseptic cream

- 1 x tube of antihistamine cream (bug bite cream)

- 2 x pairs nitrile gloves

- 30 x plasters assorted size

- 3 x large sterile wound dressings

- 2 x hydrocolloid plasters

- 1 x sterile gauze bandage

- 1 x micropore tape

You may also want to include;

- 3 x large non-adhesive wound dressings

- 1 x roll of comprehensive bandage (self adhesive; useful for fixing wound dressings in place or for stabilising sprains)

- 1 x tube arnica bruise cream

Emergency medications (asthma inhaler/EpiPen/glucagon gel for hypoglycaemia etc) should also be either on your person or in your kits.

Ensure that you’re wearing proper clothing.

In the summer, you need protective sunhats and sunglasses, as well as SPF; you should also ensure that you’re carrying more water than you think you need, as you’ll be dehydrating faster due to a combination of heat loss and exertion. Loose, covering clothing made natural fibres like cotton etc., will shield you from the sun and wick sweat.

If you’re in tick country, sleeves and long trousers that are tucked into socks are non-negotiables. Lyme disease sucks absolute ass and can take months to recover from, as does tick borne encephalitis, tularemia and anaplasmosis. Long hair should be tied up and covered with a hat; after your hike, inspect your clothing and yourself thoroughly for ticks.

Footwear is more important than you’d think. Hiking in your Converse is a sure fire way to twist your ankle to fuck, and if you’re a solo hiker, that’s a good way to get in deep shit very quickly. Hiking trainers or boots are ideal, though any well fitting, waterproof trainer with a good tread and a decent grip will also suffice providing you’re not going through harsh terrain.

Finally, marked trails and campgrounds are there for a reason. Going off trail, especially in terrain you’re unfamiliar with, is a spectacular way to get swallowed up by a ravine or unmarked cave system, get lost and die of exposure, or get eaten.

Human exceptionalism is a real phenomenon, and a detrimental one. For all intents and purposes, when in nature, you’re a ham hock with delusions of grandeur. Bears will kill you just as dead as they would a deer. Same goes for wolves, coyotes, exposure, thirst, caves and flash flooding.

Speaking of wild animals; do not approach them. If you’re close enough to pet them, you are close enough to get bitten/gored/trampled/clawed/otherwise killed in a grotesque manner. Make an effort to learn about any wildlife you may encounter before your trip, and what to do if you encounter them.

Enjoy the natural environment, learn about it, and have fun in it, as loving it and learning about it is the best way to get invested in it’s protection and preservation, but do so in a way that means you’re alive to advocate for it when your adventure is done.

medical/top surgery complaints

😔 discovered i get very dizzy when trying to change my micropore tape + dressings

on the one hand, at least reddit tells me this is something other people have experienced. on the other hand, this is inconvenient and unpleasant, and interfering with how i should be looking after myself

Micropor tape... save me..

Save me micropor tape

[medacarpyl]

Me using myself as a medical experiment under the cut, a lil gross:

I have a splinter on my right ring finger. However, it is a very thin splinter and the tweezers we have are pretty shitty, and I don't want to soak it out or dig it out with a needle because it's pretty shallow and I'd end up going overboard

I have put the wart remover on my finger and stuck the tape on top of it. Let's see if I'm a genius or a fool.

I do, however, have OTC wart remover with salicylic acid in it, and micropore tape. How salicylic acid works in wart remover in that it is essentially killing the topmost layer of skin so you can gradually peel off the wart, and there's no risk of moving the virus that causes the wart from the medicine to my finger. I find the micropore tape also helps it peel off.

My hypothesis is that it's shallow enough that after a few hours, I can take off the tape and it'll peel off a little bit of skin and take the splinter with it.

1 Week Post-op

I forgot to ask the nurse to take a photo while the tape was off, but here I am with fresh tape on:

The wound on my right side (left in the photo, although you can't see it, it's under the tape) hasn't fully closed yet, so I still can't shower for risk of infection.

As I looked down, I couldn't see the wound because of the angle (really wish I'd asked for that photo), but there was no redness or blood or anything.

Everything looks VERY lumpy and bumpy at this stage, but I'm optimistic that it will settle down.

Apparently the blister where the diathermy burnt me is healing nicely, although to me that one does look like an open hole (top left in the picture).

Taking the tape off was painless, but felt unpleasant because of the numbness. The two nurses quickly cleaned the wounds with sterile water, then applied fresh tape.

Because one of the wounds hasn't fully healed, they've booked me in for another redressing next week - I should be able to drive by then, but they also said I was welcome to change the dressing myself, at home, if I felt up to it. They gave me a roll of micropore tape and some sterile scissors to take home.

The instructions are to continue taping until my follow up with Mr Sterne (7 weeks from now), although the paperwork says "micropore or silicon tape", so once the wounds are definitely healed, I can move straight on to scar care.

In case anyone is interested, here are the instructions that the nurses and I were given:

Pain-wise, I took paracetamol this morning out of habit, but I don't think I need it. There is still that "cold burn prickling" sensation, but the paracetamol didn't really do anything about that, anyway.

I'll just briefly mention the car journey: it was an hour each way, and quite tiring. I had a mastectomy cushion that straps to the seatbelt, but the feeling of it pressed against my chest was still rather unpleasant, so I spent most of the journey holding the belt away from me.

This may affect when I am actually able to drive...
