Endometriosis Questions
Hey peeps! Iām currently on standby for an endometriosis diagnosis. I have some tests to pass and Iām a bit stressed about it. My generalist completely dismissed me when my test came back normal. I went to see my gynecologist this week and she was like WTF lol, so Iām starting over with her. Might also be something else.Ā
Going through this waiting time for a diagnosis thing again is really stressful and tiring. So, I have a couple of question for the endo warriors out there, if you donāt mind. Thanks in advance.
How did you get your diagnosis? What treatment worked for you? What shoud I expect? Any tips in symptoms management? If you went through this and it was not endometriosis in the end, what was it?
Very good read.

I feel like this is the goddamn wave for me
Chest binding is an everyday reality for many transgender and non-binary people, but healthcare professionals know little about the practice. The first ever medical study on the practice says that it's time to change that.
New research conducted by The Binding Health Project and published in Culture, Health, and Societyāwhich they say is the first study on chest binding published in a medical journalāshows that a discussion on how to help people bind safely and effectively is long overdue.
The researchers hope that the study will provide an initial roadmap for change, educating physicians on the benefits and impacts of binding and allowing those who bind to take charge of their health. ā¦Ā
According to the study, binding was a ādaily occurrenceā for its participants. Just over half of respondents bound their chests seven days a week, with people binding for an average of ten hours a day.
From our own experience, we know about the effects of binding (positive for mental health, negative for back, posture, etc), but most of our health providers do not even know what a binder is.Ā
Research like this is super important because it educates the medical community that cares for us

Sketches for my submission to the Amour Is Love exhibition byĀ @the_woman_power Iāve had this simple illustration serie on my mind for a long while now. When the call for artist appeared on my feed, I was like Ā "Yep, itās time to draw those!ā
Still donāt know what Iāll do with the BG. Hope Iāll be able to finish them in time for the deadline, with my fibro flaring⦠If not, Iāll probably use them for a zine
Which one is your fav?

My hands have been quite swollen those past days. Holding a pencil hurts so drawing is a no no. After a couple of days of not drawing at all, I get this itch and I just have to. So here is what I managed today. I might ink them later, but right now my hands need a break.

AJ Ryan wants to play the new Zelda game, but right now, it's a frustrating mess. This is something Nintendo can fix.
Iām still looking at my copy of Skyward Swords with anger and sadness ācause Iāll never be able to play itā¦. -_-
āThis obvious lack of care is pretty standard operating procedure from Nintendo,ā said AbleGamers COO Steve Spohn. āNot only do we consider Nintendo platforms to be the most inaccessible, they are the only major publishing house to ignore our requests for accessibility improvements.ā
Went to the dopest fundraiser last night for Racines bookstore. They want to open a specialized bookstore and art space for racialized minorities in my hood!
The spoken words, music and rap performances gave me goosebumps. I sketched the performers while they did their thing. Tried my best to stylized them while capturing their features in very little time. It was super awesome and I met AMAZING peeps!
The event was at Artizans422 a salon specialized in #naturalhair in downtown Montreal. Check āem out. I need to go back and buy hair products :)

What is Sickle Cell Anemia?
Sickle Cell Anemia is a blood disorder where thereās a lack of oxygen in my red blood cells. Because of the lack of oxygen they become sticky and sickle shaped. The shape plus the stickiness makes my blood clump together in my veins as well as capillaries. Thereās 2 basic types, the full blown disease and the trait. People who have the trait are just carriers of the disease. Both my parents have the trait so there was a 25% chance Iād have the disease. Low and behold I have it lol Unfortunately, there is no universal cure. However, people who qualify for it can have a bone marrow transplant, the donor has to be a match or your body will reject it. I donāt qualify for it so Iāll have the disease for the rest of my life. Bone marrow makes red blood cells so thatās why bone marrow transplants would cure it. āMinorā symptoms from the disease are pain, fatigue, and swelling. Because Sickle Cell makes your blood sticky causing it to get stuck together, severe/life threatening symptoms include but are not limited to stroke, tissue damage, organ damage or organ failure, and necrosis (cell death experienced in tissue, organs, or bones). To keep close watch of potential stroke, doctors monitor brain activity through ultrasounds of your temples up until youāre 16yrs old to make sure blood flow is ok in your brain. Right around 16 your skull is too thick to get a clear picture anymore. They also do yearly eye exams to check the blood vessels in your eyes. So far Iāve been cleared for both tests and had no signs of problems(:

Things people newly diagnosed with chronic illnesses should know
Symptoms fluctuate
Bad days donāt last forever
Good days donāt mean youāre faking
If you think your doctor is wrong, you have the right to say so
Likewise, if you think your doctor is ignoring you, you have the right to say so and demand a new doctor
Donāt be afraid of mobility aids
You donāt have to answer strangersā questions
Your life isnāt over
Some people might leave. They donāt matter.
The people who support you are great
You are allowed to complain
Youāre not worthless
Youāre loved and supported even if it doesnāt always feel like it
You are not alone
Also, itās okay to have trouble accepting any of these things, and your feelings are ALWAYS valid.Ā
Itās a never ending grieving process. You go through all the stages time and time again. And thatās normal.
Apparently Iām not done gushing over Julia yet. Check this out: Elmo sees that Julia is happy-stimming with her bunny, and when she doesnāt respond, he says they can playĀ āside by side, like we do sometimesā. Then, when Julia is ready, she joins in with Elmo. Itās on her terms. Thatās how itās done.
accessibility notes: video doesnāt have captions yet. (the sesame street channel usually captions the videos)
This is so beautiful. The lack of eye contact by Julia initially is bringing tears to my eyes. This is how I played growing up. This is how I wanted to play with my friends. This is how I do things with my friends as an adult. Side by side, sometimes doing our own thing, sometimes together.
IāM NOT CRYING YOUāRE CRYING!
Who am I kidding⦠Iām bawling my eyes out watching this. 37 years old I finally get to see myself on TV.
I was sceptical, but I like this! Itās got such a simple message of difference but itās so wonderful to see it in a show aimed at kids. Side by side is something highly relatable and something that should be encouraged!
All the shorts are like this. Elmo and Abby Cadabby always meet Julia half way. Julia rarely if ever makes eye contact. And she talks entirely in echolalia. It is surreal to see this representation as an adult. And the feels⦠I canāt even begin to describe the rollercoaster going on inside of me. If her future appearances are half as good as what Iāve seen so far, I would still be overjoyed.Ā
@affectos
I was similar to this growing up, so knowing that young kids will now learn how to befriend people with autism and not to treat them as weird will go so far
I love thus so much. I never had autism but my baby cousin did and hiw julia was in thus us hiw he acted. Thank you so much sesame street for doing this.
