you bow before no one.

i imagine being medicated would feel good as fuck. unfortunately i have to rawdog whatever's wrong with me

Despite popular opinion it’s the desire to not be in severe debilitating pain that’s addictive and not the narcotics. Fuck man, that hits.

This so much. I'm tired. Six years of trying to get help and the only professional that's helped me is a friend that sent me a study about how antihistamines can help folks with long covid. All the ER visits, all the doctor visits were for nothing.

Idk what person with chronic illness needs to hear this, but you can do things to make your responsibilities nicer for yourself. You can get an ice cream after a blood draw. You can sit down for tv time after an injection. You can pick out the bandaids that have cartoon characters on them instead of the plain ones. Being an adult doesn’t stop you from benefiting from encouragement. Go for whatever fits with your routine/abilities/budget and makes life a little better. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down etc etc

I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.
