i also wanna help pay for my partner’s gender affirming care (specifically, new clothes and laser hair removal) so if you wanna contribute to that specifically please leave a note. we think its gonna be about $50 a session?

im also gonna run out of food before next paycheck which is super fun but honestly im too exhausted to think that far ahead anyway

thanks for reading, rbs greatly appreciated

You mean the medication I've been using for years without issue? What about the idea that my body is the one that caused it? Or even a change in environment? Why do you think it's the medication? Because it can be easily changed? You know thats not how it works right?

anyway. officially got diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease friday and by the grace of god the meds my dr prescribed were ready the same day. i’m glad i got this uh sort of figured out? although if you asked me what the end point of me telling my pcp mid march both my hands have pain in them was an ana titer of 1:2560 and an autoimmune diagnosis i wouldn’t have guessed this

i also feel very imposter syndrome-y abt it all. i’ve seen the symptoms other people talk about and i just.. feel bad that i got it figured out so quickly. i’m also incredibly grateful to my drs for listening to me, but i feel like others have a whole lot of symptoms and still. idk what i’m trying to say exactly.

my only symptoms are the hand pain/minor swelling when i wake up in the morning but as i look through posts with other people talking about it it seems a lot of things about me that i thought were normal uh aren’t to say the least. i get really tired when i’m out in the sun, my face is typically some shade of pink and gets really red in the sun without sunscreen, fatigue that i’ve been attributing to my mental health being shitty for so long (which is probably part of it)

My body is so blistered and swollen but my insurance dropped and I can't afford to pay for any meds to treat it

So far I have not gained super powers which I can shoot from my tummy like a care bear.

Also my stomach doesn’t work properly, but we did sort of guess that.
