Taking the words “inspiration” and “resilient” from doctors, nurses and allied health professions indefinitely. So sick of this shit.

#PRO TIP don’t tell a new patient you’ve just met that they’re so resilient and inspiring #yes: comiserate and say it sucks having so much going on with contradictory management. this is true and is usually nice for rapport buildin #but following it up with “ur so inspiring and resilient” ain’t it chief #you don’t know that. you’ve known me for 30min. you’ve seen less than 5% of my anything. impairment. condition. resilience #don’t fucking cite me laughing n smiling as resilience when this is part of masking. related to my autism but even moreso to my existing #medical trauma #I can’t be angry i can barely be sad and overwhelmed with doctors I know well and get the things I need #being a bitter little Crip at the minute #it’s sooooooooo infuriating #otherwise good appt. comprehensive. listened well. appreciated my organisation and lived experince/knowledge. just without that one little #bit of abled pity inspiration porn bullshit this would have been great #ugh #being a bitter little Crip feeling my bad Crip feelings cripply #crip theory #the ups and downs of chronic illness #disability #bitter crip #kippu’s clusterfuck body

Everything sucks and is awful. In so much pain from nothing. I’m so overwhelmed.

#in a down phase atm I think #contemplating new diagnosis has got me grumpy AF #not enough to have connective tissue disorder with 20 comorbidities #let’s invite paternal autoimmune issues to join the party #I’m at the end of my tether. yes I have new meds. and they work. which further confirms the autoimmune fuckery hypothesis. only downside is #my weak-ass stomach can’t handle NSAIDs so I have to shove it up my butt instead #that’s been a bit distressing. and so many public holidays. and things not going to plan. I’m overwhelmed.#I need to do my fucking work but pain and public hols fuckery is not on my side rn #worse fatigue. weird pain yesterday. weird tightness in my foot today. split skin under one of my toes.not being able to sit on chair #painful itchy. everything bad bad bad. nausea. feel awful. stressdddddd.#the ups and downs of chronic illness #I so scared for the concept of dma’s if it does turn out to be seronegative inflammatory athritis #but hey it’ll be the first condition I can actually halt progression on #I wish people understand that sometimes chronic pain is like everyone is screaming what’s wrong/hurting at you. at the same time. and you #gotta wear earplugs to make it through the day. but sometimes that doesn’t stop someone steaming right in your face and you getting no #reprieve. I’m trying to mask so much shit here. it’s #it’s not great atm. scream

Shoutout to the main receptionist at the hydro pool I go to. My sister was visiting so I got her in at the same time (I’ve done this before with my mum). When she went to show her student card for concession, the receptionist was like, “honestly? I just charge everyone the concession rate. Everyone who’s here (at the hydro pool) is here for a reason.” We stan a queen. Given things like NDIS plans and health care concession cards are out of reach for a lot of people, I think it’s lovely that this receptionist acknowledges that and tries to make it as accessible to everyone. We love to see it.

#the ups and downs of chronic illness #tales from the hydro pool #disability #chronic illness #idk it’s just really heartening to see people work within systems to try to help people #and I know she’s studying med/something med related. gives me hope

chronic fatigue is just a never ending cycle of “maybe I just need to push myself harder” -> flare up -> recovery -> “oh now that I can do stuff again I need to make up for all the time I spent resting” -> flare up

Physio a few days ago: so have your pots symptoms been worse recently?

Me: nope don’t think so

Me of today: okay actually based on the severe pre-syncope and horrible fatigue and weakness I’m feeling…. Maaaaaaby physio was onto something. Damnit.

And/or PEM. I’ve had my moments over the last few days since overdoing it on Wednesday, but today has been proper rubbish. Woke up. Breakfast, sat down with some tv and my knitting for a slow start to the day. About 2hrs later, felt bad enough I had to go have a lie down (normally knitting might exacerbate pain, it rarely gets me fatigued like this). Made and ate lunch. Lie down. Get dressed. Lie down. Do 0.5 chores (put a few dishes away, popped a load of laundry on). Lie down. Lie down. Lie down. I had things I wanted to do today. But. Lie down. God I wish I had energy.

#fatigue #the struggle is real #ups and downs of chronic illness #took pain meds that sometimes help fatigue so maybe thingsll look up #regardless I’m pretty much moving from bed to couch and back again #gonna rest even if I hate it #the temperature dysregulation is a dead give away for PEM. love it being a balmy 25C and I’m wearing winter clothes and heat pack and #all my blankets feeling like I’ll never be warm again #gah I want to bake ://///// I want to craft ://///////#pain is so easy to deal with in comparison. I haaaaaate fatigue

#the ups and downs of chronic illness #postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome #dysautonomia #physio was good. re my issues with loosing people in my care team. I have an appointment booked with an EP who specialises in fatigue!#so I’m hoping that’ll be good #and there’s a great person for hydro that I’ll be handed over to closer to my program review time (it’s a quarterly thing)#I just am really struggling with fatigue atm. not sure why. we love /sar #anyway time to sleep I think. not that it’ll help ://///

Screaming. Crying. Throwing up. Changes to my care team ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

#this post brought to you by my EP leaving the clinic #same place where my great massage person is moving on to be a physio (yay for her rip for me)#so maybe I just take a clean break with them. I see neuro physio at a different place and they can prolly hook me up with people #just. the unexpected call. and I just froze at the options of rescheduling. seeing a physio in the interim. or going on the EP wait list.#at least they gave me a decent ammount of heads up #unlike some medical practices cough cough #(when the uni clinic calls to cancel your appointment. and you ask to reschedule. and only then do they tell you your GP of two years #is actually leaving before the week is out. shoutout (derogatory) to that receptionist too. they’re part of a student group known for #really fucked up things. so love having that guy entangled in everyone’s medical info)#I’m just tired #my EP was really great for hydro and I’ll always love him for how he’s approached that with me #but whenever we try trasition to more land based stuff I have fatigue issues and it’s been hard working around that #I do think the neurophysio place will probably be a bit better on that. they already have been.#I hate how much this kind of things derails me. alas autism #the ups and downs of chronic illness

With some changes to techniques, a careful selection of kitchen tools, and tips from fellow bakers, the joy of baking can live on.

I luckily haven't had to deal with much chronic pain or hand pain yet, especially with regards to baking (crochet is another story). That said, these look like some pretty solid tips! There's also some in the comments section.

As this link nears five hundred notes, I'm just... very quietly touched at how many people are sharing it. Whether they need it themselves (or think they will someday), or know someone else who might need it, the fact that all of them are sharing the sentiment of "I want the people who love doing this thing to be able to keep doing the thing that they love" is... yeah. It makes me happy.

Okay the soup was worth it. Hot damn that’s good soup.

#it’s just a regular veggie soup but I think bc I sweat the onions down first it’s sweeter than usual #garlic + onion my beloved #soup my beloved #gastroparesis my beloathed #I’m a bit concerned about the holidays food wise #my gastroparesis has been flaring since my norocrypto stomach he’ll #and like tasting the smoothie you had 5hrs ago is not a great sign #so I’ve been trying to keep it simple #holidays can be tricky in that regard

Things that made my year better, in no particular order:

Getting a lotion wand

Neuro rehab specialist physio

Rediscovering stewed fruit

Rediscovering apple rhubarb crumble

Going back on iron tablets

Starting anti depressants

Being more open about my neurodivergence and EDS

Letting myself be silly goofy (aka unmask a bit) around friends more

Cultivating a little garden

Trying more soup recipes

Travel (I love vaccine technology! Did me an absolute solid)

Having a really good sleep hygiene routine

Hydrotherapy friends

Trying some new hobbies

Making time for the library

Baking more (box mix ftw) and sharing with friends

Making my hair purple (feat. my siblings being good at hair)

It’s not been an easy year by any means. Thesis writing, an intensive, fieldwork. A major health relapse in the middle of the year. Expected and unexpected family losses. Grief. Rough times for friends. But it’s also been a good year. May next year also bring good things.

#the ups and downs of chronic illness #chronic illness #gastrointestinal fuckery #hypermobile ehlers danlos #fieldwork ‘24 #a retrospective #I get maudlin at this time of year #but it’s good to think that so many things this year made the year better #my loose goals for myself next year is to try make it to more local theatre/ local music #and to try more new recipes

They should invent knees that don’t hurt.

#the ups and downs of chronic illness #hypermobile ehlers danlos #my knee is still cranky from my fall on fieldwork #and the humidity withdrawal #my whole body is :///// from the combo of very bad bug trifecta #not having done any hydro for the last two months #(and I know I’m not cleared for the pool til new years. hopefully)#and generally feeling blah and not moving as much #I feel like that comic #what do you want for Christmas? dragon #oh… that’s a bit tricky-anything else?#cure all my chronic pain!#oh…. what colour did you want that dragon?#(the answer is purple ofc. but I would like no pain too)

It sure is something when your bowel movements are so painful and distressing that you have to self soothe by rocking back and forth and making weird noises while doing them. Real fun thanks body.

#gastrointestinal fuckery #the ups and downs of chronic illness #I mean the good news is this is mostly normie GI illness induced #I picked up a smorgasbord of pathogens in the tropics. alas #came back with not 1 not 2 but 3!!!!! tummy bugs #cryptosporidium #norovirus #and some bacterial thing (which did respond to azithromycin)#so I’m currently not doing as badly as I was the first few days #but I am basically isolating bc my symptoms haven’t resolved ye #and the travel doc has started paperwork for the one drug that might help the cryptosporidiosis a little #if it’s still an issue in another week or so #the norovirus has def put me in a gastroparesis flare. love eating 1 sausage roll and regurging a bit of it 8hrs later #stomach was bad idea. why evolution why

It’s just me and my heat pack against the world

#the ups and downs of chronic illness #gastrointestinal fuckery #fieldwork ‘24 #I seem to have brought a tummy bug back with me #straight up wasn’t having a good time yesterday #early flights + turbulence + upsetti spaghetti stomach was an interesting experience #is it good that I have an overly tight pelvic floor? no #is it helpful specifically in this instance? yes #I’m feeling a bit better but also pretty wiped #that being said it’s been bit of a stressful end to fieldwork #had to change one leg of the journey at short notice due to a road blockade #had a fall on smooth pavement 2 days before leaving. v salty at myself for that one #and it was my non bastard ankle too #and then tummy stuff #anyway I’m resting and watching trash tv but it really is just me and my heat pack against everything else rn

Advantages to being in the tropics:

My joints are pretty happy with the humidity- yay less pain on the daily!

My nails are growing ridiculously fast I feel.

Dry skin issues (nose, ear, hands) have cleared up. Yay moisture!

I’ve been pretty lucky re migraines so far.

Food has also been working out okay. Which is good. More meat than I usually eat, but I’m doing okay. Lot of soft fruit which is divine.

Disadvantages:

You know you drink a lot of water. But when all you can drink is bottled water you get a pretty ah, visual representation of how much you’re really drink by the waste you leave behind. It’s a looooot of water bottles. We keep leaving these little “water bottle graveyards” in our room.

It’s hot. Humid. My pots has been a little fussy, and I’ve upped my am meds to give me a bit of a better chance. Get a bit woozier than normal, but not having as bad a time as I thought.

Sweating like a pig with ASF (African swine fever). About as pink as one, too.

Swollen legs most days with blood/fluid pooling. Bit irritating. I do have compression socks I should be wearing,,,, but hooooootttttt.

Sunburn (my own fault). Needed to remember that being on photosensitising meds means to cover up more, despite sunscreen, even if the singlet feels cooler. Between covering up, umbrella, and spf 50 I’ve not had a repeat incident.

A few mozzie and bug bites, but really not that bad.

On the whole I’m having a great time. Yes it’s a little tricky and yes it’s a bit uncomfy but it’s so much fun and I’m learning a lot.

#the ups and downs of chronic illness #fieldwork ‘24 #have to say #the whole EDS pale translucent skin stuff really stands out when when you’re the only white people in town #are you married count: 2 #are you Christian missionaries count: 1 #cool new foods count: 5 #only a week til we start the saga of heading back home #just a car and a boat and a plane and another plane and another plane. it’ll take us 3 days #but I hope to come back. it’s really nice here #no cholera no malaria. vaccine win!
