I've been gathering together my symptoms. Obviously, my chronic pain is getting worse even though the injury I had from the car back in 2021 is non-existent. My pain, my joint pain, my fatigue, my brain fog, my dry mouth, my dry eyes, my stress that induces my pain or the other way around or whatever it is, I can't even think right now, it's all just getting worse. Sometimes I'll be waking up like I've never had a liquid in my life. Sometimes my pain is so bad just because I'm stressed out and I'm trying to tell them listen I think something autoimmune is happening and they still don't want to do the right tests. Like I've been drinking liquids, I drink water, I drink liquids. I'm drinking like not just water but all the fluids I have in a day is like three litres total and I still wake up with dry eyes, dry mouth, dry body, dry lips. I didn't even realise my difficulty in swallowing is probably linked to that too. My glands like to just randomly swell up and all that kind of stuff and it's like... I'm tired.

Gee, I wonder if my itch of 32½ years count as chronic 😂

someone: Stop scratching! It isn't that hard. :)

me: How about you stop breathing then? It isn't that hard :)

someone: What?! I can't do that! I'd die!

me: Then shut the fuck up!

Anyway, don’t use topical corticosteroids for more than a few days at a time max and only on occasion, folks. No matter what a dermatologist tells you, these meds can cause serious issues. The single dermatologist clinic near me tosses these creams at everyone indefinitely and runs fake “intolerance” tests in order to continuously fill their pockets with pharma kickbacks, followups, and boutique appointments.
