Note

If you like, obey me guys with an MC who suffers from chronic pain, specifically that they have a hard time keeping up with the brothers when walking?

Ooo!!! Definitely excited to write bc I relate!! Im actually disabled 😎 im an abulatory wheelchair user so im tempted to make a HC w them reguarding smth like that?? Anyway i get it, so here is my most accurate potrayal mwahaha

Just to add some clarification, im gonna reference some symptoms I personally deal with, though I will do so vaguely! Chronic fatigue means many diff things for many folks so, yk. Also They're all tall, fit, superhuman strength, so even your average person probably couldn't keep up? Idk but i think it would be dramaticly different for mc vs the boys

Edit/ got way too into this lol, sorry. I did mostly use the slow walking as a reference, but less so any swaying, excess sleeping, passing out. This is harder to write about than i originally thought? It's hard to encompass so many symptoms in 1 thing lol, anywau enjoy!! I hope this is okay!!

edit2- I FOGOT ASMO AND belph im so sorry, will add later

Lucifer

At first? Kind of a selfish ass. Not directly, but he gets obviously a lil ticked when MC is significantly slower than everyone else. Like this is inconvenient for him, almost feels like MC is doing it on purpose.

Mostly thinks about how it's an inconvenience, how humans are delicate and weak, but as his relationship with MC grows, he's a lot more interested in WHY mc is so fatigued. How does it feel for them?

Will at some point gets the guts to ask. Wouldn't before though because he wouldn't want it to look like he's super interested in MC, but once he accepts that he's in love? Oh boy.

He'll add extra time in the schdule from now on, at least a couple minutes so he and MC can walk at a more leisurely pace. It's hard for him to adjust, because he's usually striding, fairly quickly.

Grows to kind of enjoy it? Taking things slow. It's a nice change for him, but it's a lot of how he shows that he cares. The breaks, stopping to "look" at a shop window when he hears MC breathing a little heavier or when they start to slow down a little more, trudging instead of walking.

Does a fair amount of research on human conditions. If it's a medical condition or not, he'll do what he can to support you. May even assist on your weeks being half online, half in person? So you could have more rest time. It would ensure that Dia's favorite exchange student is preforming to the best of their ability with their accessibility needs being met!!

Will pick you up from the couch and put you in your bed. Sometimes his. Wink.

Mammon

I think Mammon, even originally, was really interested in MC at first glance. He's got a weird protective need? Like must nurture,,,, human,,,

Will keep walking until he realizes MC didn't respond to what he said. Then turns around are sees MC quite a bit behind him and he's confused. Why are they so slow?

Will ask MC, "are most humans so slow?" But doesn't seem malicious about it at all, it's a genuine question. He's had limited contact with humans and they've never really walked anywhere.

Will pick MC up, or tells MC to jump on his back. Doesn't ask, but squats down and gestures.

Will poke fun at MC unless they seem upset about it. Doesn't really mind how slow they are though, it's just an adjustment period for a while.

(Sorry, pov switch.)

On bad days, he'll absolutely help if you ask. He'll bring food and water, by himself, but has trouble thinking of other ways to help without being asked specifically. Probably picks up their homework too, small tasks that they mention.

He's not likely to ask you directly, you'll have to bring up the serious conversation. He just accepts the fatigue as part of MC, doesn't consider that its not normal or is a medical issue? He's willing to put in more effort if you ask though, if he can make things easier for you? He's in. Tries to condense your hang outs too, like the places you go, just so you do the least amount of walking possible.

Overall, 8/10 support.

Leviathan

You're walking to RAD together on a day for a student counsel meeting, the first time he's been out with you, and after a couple minutes of rambling he realizes you've fallen behind?

"Do you not walk to walk with me?" Genuinely a little dejected, feels bad and realizes he's done ALL the talking??

Hopefully you say something like, "no no I love walking with you, I just get so so tired so fast," because he'll respond fairly well. "Oh okay," and then moves on, walking significantly slower. If you watch, you'll notice him looking over and at his feet more often, seems like he's checking his pace?

Once he realizes more so how bad your fatigue gets, and you both grow closer, he'll make more of an effort to leave his own room and go to yours. When he's super uncomfortable, he'll at least meet you at your room to walk you to his room. So you can have company.

Does try to go out of his way to make things easier. Also probably brings it up weeks/months later. Asks you if it's normal. Probably brings it up when your symptoms are especially bad one day, or when you're so tired and cant keep your eyes open.

Isn't one to consider it a burden. It's definitely a change because his legs are a lot longer so he's natrually faster, but he learns to take smaller steps.

Satan

Similarly to Lucifer, feels inconvenienced. His first thoughts are only about himself, only starts thinking about why, how, the details once he gets closer with you.

It's a sudden relevation once he gets the hint that you might feel embarrassed or like a burden? Switches up pretty fast. He's slightly fatigued after his "episodes" for lack of better word, but he imagines its maybe similar to what you experience?

You're sitting in the library, and suddenly he pipes up and asks you. "Is there a reason you're so tired all the time? Why does walking bother you so much?" And as you explain, his curiosity is satiated for the time being. He's silent for a minute after you respond, then, "is it embarrassing?"

Offers some casual reassure once you respond. Tells you that you shouldn't be embarrassed, and that you should accept the things you can't change.

"Would it help if I walked slower from now on? Or would walking be easier if I went with you to and from your classes?" It's a secret plot to spend time together.

He's unlikely to bring you food, but almost has a ritual of bringing you a water bottle every time? Like a human world water bottle? Not sure where he got them. If you inquire about it, he'll tell you that he read how staying hydrated is very helpful for your condition.

Is insistant on the water thing. Also, when you go to the library together, he'll have a small area set up so you can sit while he looks, your stuff is ready and he'll bring you back a book or two with a small flush on his face.

Beelzebub

Notices as you start to slow down, but isn't concerned really, just starts walking slower. But once you start barely moving, he's holding his arm around you until you get to the next bench on the pathway. Belphie had similar issues when they first fell, so the switch to walking slower is much easier for him than anyone, though is now curious as to why you, a human, are having the same issue.

"Did you not eat enough today?" Once you chuckle at him and explain, he's still thinking about food. "Would eating more help?" "Not really, I just get super tired and need more sleep later."

When you hang out, in the kitchen, at school, anywhere outside of your room, he's ready to head home by like, 8pm. He doesn't say it, but he assumes you need to be in bed super early. He's willing to settle for 10, but any later than that and he feels morally responsible for your fatigue.

He gets used to you sleeping in his bed though. He's totally going to get a blanket and a pillow for you and set it near/in the kitchen. He wants to cook but he'd also like to hang out, but you also need sleep, so this is his comprimise.

You both become cuddle partners very fast. It starts with hanging out, and then you fall asleep in his bed and he sleeps on the floor. Once you wake up in the middle of the night and force him back into the bed, he's very stiff for like, a hot minute until you snuggle up to him and doze off.

His help is mostly going to be sustinence. He'll bring you something small from when he goes to eat, or he'll pick up any extra work you have. Is also constantly ready to carry you where ever you'd like. Piggy back rides to RAD? Sure, where do you need dropped off?

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me satan #leviathan obey me #obey me mammon #obey me asmo #obey me beel #obey me levi #obey me lucifer #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphie #obey me belphegor #obey me asmodeus #obey me headcanons #obey me fluff

Hello! I was wondering if you could please write something about how the Fellowship (+ Thorin?) Would help a s/o who's Disabled and Chronically ill. Like she has a lot of symptoms like chronic pain, chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping, difficulty breathing at times, difficulty walking at times, higher sensitivity to the cold, difficulty talking at times, and anxiety, depression and executive dysfunction?

I've been really struggling with my chronic illnesses lately, namely my Autism, Anxiety, Sleep Apnea, a really bad Overbite, Raynaud's Syndrome, Asthma, etc, so I'd really appreciate an Imagine like this. I have a really weird disorder where one of my legs is longer than the other, and it's been causing me a lot of pain and difficulty walking lately, and people have been bullying me for it a lot too, so I could really use a Comfort Imagine right now. Thanks so much hun!!

It's no problem! I'm glad I can provide some comfort!! For each character, I'll use a specific struggling area, to make it a bit easier!! I hope I got these accurate enough, and of there are any mistakes, feel free to point them out!! You are strong, beautiful and so, so amazing!! Keep being you!! ❤❤

Help (The Fellowship// Thorin x Fem!Reader)

Aragorn (Autism)

Aragorn has known you for a long time, so helping with your autism is not new for him

He's particularly experienced in reading your emotions and meeting your needs, whether it's helping you out of stressful situations or calming you down, he's there 🥺

If there are large and boisterous gatherings in Rivendell, its almost guaranteed that you can become over-stimulated quickly, and Aragorn immediately senses this (spidey senses õoõ)

He's fast to find your hand and give it a gentle squeeze of reassurance

If that doesn't seem to help, he'll instantly stop what he's doing and take you out of the room

If you're someone who prefers lots of space and little physical contact, he is 100% respectful of this and asks if you'll let him touch or hug you (very much gentleman 😌)

If ever you're confronted by someone of importance, Aragorn is right by your side to ease some of the tension

Sometimes there are things you find difficult to say or get out of your system

The king seems to know exactly what it is and will help you out by saying it or asking you simple questions that you can easily answer

And he always reminds you, no matter WHAT

YOU ARE NOT STUPID 😤😡

You may struggle with some parts of your life, but every day, he's constantly telling you that you're very intelligent and kind

His patience is unending and he'll never let you think down on yourself

Overall, Aragorn is always someone and reminding you that it's all going to be okay ❤❤

Legolas (Anxiety)

Most nights, Legolas keeps watch (since elves don't require much sleep) and notices that you jolt awake out of the random

Now, most of the Fellowship notices that you're usually awake and ready to go before anyone else

But Legolas is really the one to address you first

You were a bit nervous to explain, since you didn't want to worry him or the great of the fellowship, amount the other disadvantages you have

He gently encouraged you, and finally, you explained to him your sleep apnea

Yeah, he was very concerned

I mean, his blue eyes widened with terror when you told him that you could basically die in your sleep if you weren't attentive enough 🙃

Legolas, from now on, sleeps directly next to you, or keeps extra careful watch over you at night

Because he could NEVER see his precious mortal friend become injured... Or worse 🥺🥺❤

The other members had noticed a change in his behaviors towards you as well...

Gimli teased him whenever he caught Legolas giving you some extra lembas bread or offered to carry you 👉👈

You really tried to assure Legolas that it wasn't a big deal when you were awake, since you're aware of your breathing situation

But still 😤

Legolas will always bring you comfort and take great care of you, and that will NEVER CHANGE

Because he loves you very much ❤🦋

Frodo (Anxiety)

Frodo is familiar with the feeling of great anxiety, seeing he had a stress-free life while living in the Shire and suddenly was forced to carry a piece of jewelry all the way to giant ass volcano

It's easy for you two to comfort each other and seek refuge in thoughts and feelings ❤

He's not super comfortable with the thought of you having a panic attack though...

Only because he's never had one

It starts to give him a panic attack whenever you have one around him the first time 😳-

Any time you begin to breathe heavy or hyperventilate, halfling boy is hot at your heels, rubbing your back and reminding you to breathe gently

(So many hugs, if you're up for it)

After you calm down, he's constantly checking on you, asking if you need anything etc.

Really, he just wants to know if he can help 🥺

And even with the weight and stress of carrying the ring, Frodo manages to cheer you up somehow

Samwise (Asthma)

Sam has never had to deal with asthma once in his life

He's very nervous when the subject is brought, afraid it might trigger something inside of you 🥺👉👈

But you just chuckle, assure him that it's alright, and you have ways of keeping it under control

And now, he wants to know everything about it, just to have the awareness in case something happens

Sam just wants to protect you forever, and this was a great way for him to start

He constantly reminds Aragorn that you'll need breathing breaks and will convince Gandalf to let you ride on his horse

He'll scold Pip and Merry if they are trying to drag you around and be silly, because as he says

"You'll rouse him/her/them up! We can't have Y/N gettin injured!" 🤨😠

Sam is MOM

As always, he's very kind and always makes sure your needs are met ❤🥺

Pippin and Merry (Raynaud's Syndrome)

Very confused halfings 🤔

Also extremely concerned!

You were eating one of the lesser pleasurable nights

It was cold and rainy, and a fire couldn't be started, not to mention the quiet arguments of Aragorn and Gandalf in the nearby woods

And Pip's eyes widened when he saw the tips of your petite fingers begin to pale upon hearing Aragorn mention Orcs

"What's wrong with your hands?!" He squeaked, pointing towards your now white-colored fingertips

You hadn't even noticed, nor felt, considering they were numb anyways

Merry looked over his cousin's shoulder and his eyes also widened, not with fright, but wonder

They were both fascinated with your condition, convinced that you were casting some spell Gandalf showed you

Although you reassured them it was just an extremely frustrating inconvenience that you had, among other things

So from then on, the disastrobus duo did their best to keep you out of the cold (and stressful situations!!)

As a distraction, the pair will tell you great stories of the shire, doing little dances and skits that always cheer you up 🥴

Sometimes, they can be a little rambunctious though...

Merry will pick up on this fact quickly, and nudge Pippin to get him to calm down

Even though it may not feel the best

They find your syndrome absolutely fascinating!! 🤔🤔

All in all, these two are always up for keeping your beautiful smile on your face and your spirits high!! ❤🌺

Boromir (Depression)

Throughout the journey, Boromir has always found an easy way to make you smile

After all, he himself has a fascinating way of brightening anyone's spirits

Yours included ❤

Boromir may not have great stories from The Shire, like Pip and Merry, but he sure has a lot of positive things to say

He'll often suggest sparring with the two troublemaking halflings, just so you can see him goof up and get knocked over 🥺

If the nights become cold and weary, he'll give you a warm hug or a nudge on the shoulder

And a few words of helpful encouragement along the lines of;

"Don't fret Y/N. You have more strength than you'll ever know."

"Let our spirits never dampen! We've come this far!" 😊

He's also an incredible listener

Boromir wants to hear what you have to say if you ever need to rant or get something off of your chest

And don't think for a second that he would ever judge you 😤

Son of Gondor sees past all of your insecurities and knows you for your beautiful, amazing self ❤❤

Gimli (Walking disadvantages)

As you travel across great plains and mountains, your limp doesn't go unnoticed by Gimli

It may take him a while to open up about it, since he's afraid he might offend you in some way

And once he asks you, you inform him that it's a difficulty that unfortunately cannot be changed any time soon

And where you come from, lots of people tease and bully you about it

He did NOT handle it well 😳

"wHAT BLUBBERING DULL-MINDED PIGNUTS-" 🤬

Although this Dwarf is short and a bit slow at times

He's fascinatingly strong 😳

And so, he makes it his duty to be your designated carrier 🥺

At first, your a tad skeptical...

I mean, he's only around 4 feet tall...

BUT HAVE YOU SEEN HIM THROW THAT HUGE AX AROUND?!

Gimli will happily carry you great distances when you need a break, and even longer

(Sometimes it's just to show off around the others-)

"Gimli, are you sure you don't want a break?"

"Aye lass! The strength of Dwarves is unending!" 😌

*struggling to breathe*

11/10, fantastic dwarf, will never let you down!!

Thorin (Executive Dysfunction)

Another Dwarf??

Absolutely

Thorin himself has trouble keeping composure with his time management (and sense of direction 🙄)

This means that he'll have an undying amount of patience for you and you only

There's just something about you that he fond of, and it fills in that little sassy, brooding place in his heart

Can also relate to you whenever you grow frustrated at the setback of your journey or lack of sleep

Is 100% willing to help you find your lost belongings (and once again, ONLY YOU)

Thorin will literally make the whole traveling party stop so that you can put something in your bag and make sure that you put it somewhere you'll remember

Always happy to give you extra gentle reminders of keeping your pack closed

The company is utterly SHOCKED with how he treats you

I mean, this man has always been extremely stubborn and hard headed

But when you show up, it's another person he can easily relate and share frustrations with

Also a master at organization?!? 🤔

The one thing he could do successfully was organizing the damn journey and traveling company, so ofc he's gonna be good at that 😂

Yeah, Thorin definitely has a soft spot for you

King under the mountain will never run out of patience and kindness for you 😌💙

Sorry these took so long!! I hope you like them!! ❤❤

HC's for Remus with a Chronically Ill S/O

Remus Lupin x fem!reader

Warnings: illness, basically all the things in the ask that could be triggering

Requested; by @rowandor, Thank you so much for my sewing imagine, I love it so so much !! 🥰🥰♥️ Could I please request another Harry Potter imagine? Perhaps Remus Lupin with a disabled and Chronically Ill s/o? Nothing too specific, maybe just a s/o with chronic pain and fatigue and anxiety? I personally need to take a lot of naps because of my sleep apnea, and I'm bed bound sometimes, so something like that please 🥺. If you have any questions about specific details or symptoms, please message me and I'll happily help out love. Hope you're doing well hun!!

I don’t own these characters. They belong to author/director/creator

Author’s Note: I’m sorry it’s so short love, I was having a hard time with this one. I hope you enjoy regardless!

- Remus understands the pain that comes with a constant illness

- he is the ideal man to worry for you because he always seems like he has things together for you, not to mention that he knows all the best remedies

- the man tirelessly works to find a magical cure for you, even if he knows he isn’t likely to find something

- but he just hates seeing you in pain

- it’s bad when it’s the full moon and you’re having a really bad spell because neither of you are quite able to handle each other

- that’s the worst time

- you’re both in pain and all Remus can do is stay away until the full moon ends and then he’s back to you while you both lay in bed, hoping for things to feel better soon

- dotes on you whenever he can

- he understands being tired and that you need your rest so he makes sure to know what kind of schedule you prefer and adhere to it

- Remus may be a very nice man but if anyone gives you a hard time about having to take some time to rest, he’s all up on it and very angry

- does he scream? No, of course not.

- does he make that ‘i know more than you’ face? Yes he does

- Remus and you are able to connect on a level that he had never connected with someone before

- he feels like a burden because of his problem and you help him understand that he isn’t

- you’re patience and understanding mixed with how much he loves you including your illnesses, really makes him see how wonderful he and you are

- there’s a lot of him playing with your hair while your sleep and putting blankets over your resting body

- and lots of finding things to do inside so you don’t exert too much energy

- magical board games sound amazing honestly

- Remus also learns all the rules and doesn’t let you bend them, even the stupid ones he follows

- together you really manage to work things out in a way that no one else really could and he thinks that’s beautiful

Growing Spoons (part one)

Rating: Teen (???)

Fandom: Ouran High School Host Club

Relationships: Eventual Kyoya x Mori

Content Warnings: Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic illness, disability

Summary: It was a bad day. It was one of those days where he felt as if his legs were being ripped from his body, and all he could do was lay in bed. He couldn't even think about swinging his legs out of bed, let alone going to school. He really needed to learn to keep track of his spoons.

The ringing from Kyoya’s fifth alarm clock rang throughout his bedroom, adding yet another layer of grating sound to the cacophony that attempted to get him up each morning. He knew Tachibana was dutifully waiting beyond the door, there to just make sure he didn’t manage to sleep through them, and he’d often help him with some of his morning routine before school.

Objectively, he supposed the golden sun and jubilant birdsong streaming in from the skylight would give many the impression that it was a lovely day. However, he wasn’t under any such delusions. He’d been awake since before the first alarm rang, the sheets wound around his hands in a white-knuckled grip and face shoved into his pillow. It was annoying, how he either slept for twelve full hours or woke up so early. He blames the later on the pain, however; while awaking to the sensation of rusted screws twisting through his hips and knees wasn’t that unusual for him, it was never pleasant.

It wasn’t even like it really mattered how much sleep he got, anyway; he was constantly exhausted. He dragged himself up and kept going no matter how much he wanted to just lay in bed, because he had to. Just laying there, vegetating, wasn’t going to help him.

On days like this, however, he couldn’t even imagine getting up. Every small movement only increased the throbbing, stiff pain. It was like his joints were being soldered together, like iron girders. He couldn’t even roll over to turn off his alarms, even if the incessant beeping was almost maddening. He was trying to just… psych himself up for it, to manage through the flare of pain rolling over would inevitably cause.

His stomach was already rolling, nausea hitting him in waves. He never vomited, just felt like he would. It was strange how fucked up his body was, even if it was just a singular, underlying issue.

Fibromyalgia. He hated it, being so tired and in pain. It wasn’t even that its inconsistency was a saving grace; it just confused people. He could do something one day and find it impossible the next, and it was frustrating for everyone involved. Even if the teachers were told not to piss off the students, he could feel the doubt emanating off his gym instructor as he sat out of an activity, even if he was relying on his cane to move around.

It was embarrassing, in that vain and petty way that seems to bother people the most. He was a teenager who limped like an old man, relying on a walking stick. He was delicate and so fucking drained, and he couldn’t even figure out how to manage his spoons. He was in such a minority; most fibro suffers being female, which already put him in the ten percent, but also being so young. The average age when this issue flared up was forty-five and he was only seventeen. It felt like it was impossible to just be a teenager, planning everything around fatigue and fluctuating symptoms and not even knowing if he’d be able to stand the next day.

Then, there were days like today, so close to unbearable, but he couldn’t make himself scream out. Because where was the dignity in that? Helplessly mewling any name that came to mind in the hopes that they’d… what? They couldn’t do anything, and that was one of the most annoying parts of it. He wanted it all gone.

But it never would be. You manage fibro, you can’t cure it. Not to mention that he was just plain awful at managing it. Spoons ran out too quickly, and he couldn’t tell how many he had left until there were none and he was dipping into the day after’s supply. He tried to do too much, all at once, because that was just how things got done.

“Kyoya? Are you awake?”

The door pushed open to reveal Tachibana’s silhouette, outlined by the light from the room beyond, and he could only wipe his damp face with his sleeve and try to seem more put together. After all, if Tachibana saw him crying, he’d worry and there was no point in that – he’d gotten through worse days. Still, the pain just felt so intense, and there was no way he could even get to the bathroom himself – even with his cane – let alone school.

“Oh, Kyoya…” He heard the man sigh, fingers combing gently through his hair, careful to avoid any knots, and the grating calamity was finally silenced, “It’s a bad day, isn’t it?”

At any other times, his reply would be sarcastic. He’d throw out some flippant comment and slowly – so, so slowly – push himself out from beneath the covers. Now, however, he couldn’t make himself think of one, his brain too foggy and the pain too intense. He just nodded, letting out a long, stuttered breath in the hopes of draining the tension from his shoulders, legs and hips. Tachibana just kept stroking his hair, trying to relax him, even just a little.

“Do you have any spoons?” Tachibana asked, “If you think you can manage going to school in your wheelchair, then you probably –”

“No,” He refused, voice far too close to a whimper for his liking. It wasn’t as if he’d even be able to concentrate in this state, and while it was good to show that he at least made the effort to go in, he… couldn’t. Not in the chair. His cane already got odd looks, but he could make it work; he could still be intimidating and powerful, but as some skinny, pathetic boy in a wheelchair?

It was stupid, really. To be concerned by something so ultimately meaningless. If someone didn’t take him seriously, then that was their loss. They’d soon pay for it – it was karmic retribution.

Tachibana seemed to take his refusal in stride, however, simply agreeing that perhaps he should stay home. What was the point in using spoons he just didn’t have?

“I’ll go call the school to let them know, and get your hot water bottles,” The older man informed, short nails dully scraping over his scalp. Hot water bottles helped, as did painkillers and topical creams and balms. His bedside table was covered in them, but they were just out of reach from where he currently was. He’d try moving in a minute, but for now he just squeezed his eyes shut, trying to go back to sleep.

It was all he could do on days like these, after all.

A/N: This is kinda an introductory chapter, don't worry, we'll get to that sweet MoriKyo content soon. This is kinda a vent fic tbh, as... I might have fibro myself. I certainly have some sort of condition, anyway. I've been in bed Suffering for the past few days, so guess who's getting my shit dumped all over him, yay! I also suck at regulating my spoons.

But in all seriousness, I'm not officially diagnosed yet, it might not be fibro. If you see anything inaccurate in this fic then... that's why.

Confession #3,258

Part 1 - no support from family for boyfriend kind of

Ever since day one my parents never have supported me or thought I was “faking” my pain. I used to miss a ton of school because in the morning I would wake up and feel so nauseous and sometimes vomit, I would be so exhausted and still tired or wake up with headaches and be so tired throughout school id fall asleep in class, on the bus, and come home and sleep for five hours once I got home from school. They used to force me to go to school because I had to and the whole time they thought I was just faking it so stay home and sleep in. Then when my stomach problems started coming up my parents thought I was faking it again and complaining about my stomach to go to the doctors and get notes and excuses to miss school. Especially in the beginning when the doctors couldn’t find much wrong with me. Until they did an endoscopy and found gastritis and ulcers and eventually did a gastric emptying test and found I have gastroparesis. N guess what? The doctors diagnosed me with all of this shit in-front of my parents and even showed the pictures of the ulcer and gastritis in my stomach and my parents still think I’m faking it.

They always tell me how if I “ate better I wouldn’t have any problems” or “ if you wouldn’t of had went vegetarian this wouldn’t of had happened to you” and all of this bullshit. It pisses me off so bad especially since now here I am 20 years old and still suffering from stomach problems having flare ups and now new symptoms where two of my doctors thinks I have some kind of autoimmune disease possibly multiple sclerosis. I sleep so much at least 10-13 hours a day and my boyfriend constantly calls me lazy to my face. I just don’t understand how people can be in the room with me while the doctors clearly is saying there’s something wrong with me and then they turn around and talk shit like they don’t know I have chronic illnesses. My boyfriend literally told me that in the future he’s not going to let me sleep in because I need to be productive and wake up early and cook breakfast and do all of this shit and I actually cried because wtf. I have a ton of anxiety my doctor thinks I’m depressed as well and having no support or anyone to talk to makes it completely worse. I can’t even have sex anymore because majority of the time I get these SEVERE cramps that make me want to vomit and my boyfriend has seen me collapse on the floor crying curled up in a ball in pain and then asks me to have sex again the next day. I stopped working and I know my boyfriend doesn’t like it because he says shit like “ it must be fun to sit around at home all day especially if you get approved for disability, shit lay around and get paid for it”. It makes me feel so bad especially since sometimes I have good days and sometimes I have terrible days. Especially when I have a flare up and I’m really sick for a week this is why I don’t want to get another job. It’s like when I’m sick my boyfriend takes care of me but then when I have a few days where I’m less sick and feeling OKAY to do things he’s like “ why don’t you get a part time job”. Idk like my boyfriend is better than my parents but he doesn’t get it. He has these severe chronic painful migraines and I’m so supportive of him and do everything I can to help him and he should understand how I feel because he misses a lot of school and work because of the migraines but yet when I used to stay home from work because I was nauseous and having abdominal pains he would sigh and just be like “ so you’re really not going to work today?” And just make me feel really bad. I especially can’t talk to my sister because she’s called me a “hypochondriac” multiple times even though she has fucking diabetes since she was like 6 years old she should understand too. I hate how my sister and boyfriend both think because they still push through work and school that I should just “suck it up” and try to live a normal life. Don’t even get me started with the shit people say to me when I mention I want to file for disability. My parents,friends, and boyfriend all say something along the lines of “ you’re fine just get a easy job” “ you don’t quality for disability you just ant to lay around all day” etc. it really breaks my heart and makes me feel so bad that I can’t talk to ANYBODY when I’m sick or feeling sad and want to vent. Something that kind of makes me mad if that my boyfriends mom has a virus that she is fine most of the time but sometimes gets really sick as has to go get blood transfusions and medications in the hospital and stuff and my boyfriends dad keeps her from working and everyone is all over helping her but yet when I have a flare up and having s lot of nausea and abdominal pains and all these other symptoms people tell me to take a tums and get up. Like I have a diagnosis of serious stuff too just because the doctors don’t ever want to keep me in the hospital doesn’t mean it’s not serious. If I’m being honest the times I go to the hospital for pain the doctors treat me like I’m looking for drugs or tell me that I’m “just constipated and drink some water”. Like the way everyone has been treating me has been bringing me down so much and there’s no way of escaping it.

Part two: I don’t know why my health is so bad for more than half of my life

Ever since I was 9 I’ve been in pain starting with my periods. I was put on birth control and it’s helped a lot so that’s hardly one of my issues now. When I was around 13 that’s when my stomach problems started and now that I’m 20 years old two doctors think I have multiple sclerosis and I’m going to see a neurologist next month. It’s been really hard for me to deal with being in pain all the time since I was young but I feel like I’m almost accustomed to the pain that I don’t show it so much on the outside. Especially when it comes to my nausea I’m nauseous every single day and usually I don’t complain about it because I’ve been nauseous every day for years only when it gets really bad I’ll lay down or hunch over. At least every other day I get abdominal cramps or pains in my stomach or the urge to vomit. My stomach problems have lead to other issues like malnutrition and other stuff. Recently I’ve been having neurological problems that have been scaring me I’ve been getting a lot of numbness on anywhere on my body that pressure is applied. Even for less than a minute my body part won’t even get pins and needles feeling it’ll just go straight up NUMB like can’t move my fingers or my arm or leg feels really heavy shit even my butt goes numb when I’m sitting on a hard chair or if I lean over a table to grab something or do something for a few seconds my arm or hand will start to go numb. Even when I’m sleeping and I’m laying on top of my pinky it’ll go numb. I’ve been getting these shocks of pain in my left hand that make me drop stuff or even have to let go of the steering wheel when I’m driving. I have these lingering headaches mostly behind my eyes or like one side of my head. I have a lot of trouble sleeping and my vision isn’t blurry sometimes it’s hard to focus and I’ve been having these black specks in my vision and lastly I lose my breath really easily and my heart rate shots up for doing any little thing even just shampooing my hair I be breathing heavy and feeling my heart beat in my neck and chest like I feel like I’m going to pass out… and two of my doctors think it’s multiple sclerosis. I just don’t get why I can’t live a normal active life. I used to go kayaking on my good days and it used to make me soooo happy and relaxed even thought I’d be really fatigued from all of the movement kayaking in the springs was my passion and the only thing to completely take my mind off of how sick I felt. Now that I live in Texas and I’m almost having these neurological symptoms I don’t think I would even be able to go kayaking at all there’s no springs to go kayaking here anyways but and I just sit at home all day and feel depressed.

Part 3: worried about my future

I know I can’t go to school because I have a really hard time focusing,concentrating, or remembering things I would fail. In elementary school all the way through sophomore year of highschool( before I left to homeschooling because of my chronic illness) I’ve always had a really hard time with school with attendance and keeping up my grades. I’ve recently lost two jobs in a row because of my attendance because once again my chronic illness and I just worry what I’m going to do for the rest of my life. I’m not going to college because I know I can’t handle it and I don’t want to go back to work because clearly I can’t hold a job and my doctor himself told me it might be best to not work to keep my stress down. I just feel so lazy but when I force myself to try and be productive and do things when my body doesn’t let me I end up getting sicker for longer and it’s really frustrating. I’ve already mentioned how my boyfriend told me how in our future he’s not going to let me lay around all day because he wants me to get up and do things which i understand I don’t want to put the burden on him for everything but it’s like my BODY WONT LET ME. my dad is fully disabled and he lays around all day and watches TV and sleeps all day and people don’t bother him but when I mention getting disability I’m just “lazy” and “fully capable of working but just don’t want to” I just really don’t know.

Part 4: losing my job recently and wanting to get disability

So in November I started a receptionist job. I specifically applied for this job because I figured it would be low stress and I would be able to sit and basically have it accommodate with my illnesses. Well I was wrong because that job had me stressed out every. Single. Day whether it was rude clients, my rude and condescending co workers, having to wake up at 4-6am depending on the shift, constantly being called in on my days off, having to get up and run around the building looking for stuff for a client or one of the doctors, etc. every day I would come home pissed off and complain to my boyfriend and the almost three months I worked there I had probably around four panic attacks at work because of the situations and stress I was put under. Recently I’ve been having neurological problems on top of gastroparesis flare ups and before my 90 days I missed three weeks of work whether it was because I was sick and couldn’t make it to work or had a doctors appointment, in the hospital etc. Nobody ever wanted to switch shifts with me so I always just had to miss work and I brought a doctors note for every day I missed. Right before my 90 days ended they let me go which is kind of a relief but now I have no money coming in and bills to pay. I’m thinking about applying for disability but I’m waiting to get my possible multiple sclerosis diagnosed before I start going through the process. My last job was working as a technician in an animal hospital and it was wayyy too stressful and active for me a dog pulled me so hard my wrist and back were fucked up and I had to miss work for four days and go to the doctors and chiropractors. I had to lift up dogs that weighed up to 50/60 pounds and that also fucked up my back on two occasions because I’m really skinny and when I try to lift with my legs they shake and give out. I would be bruised up from restraining dogs and they barely bump into me and I get a painful red and purple bruise. I’m too “fragile” to handle the naughty big dogs that would pull me to hard and then once again rude co workers and rude clients that gave me a ton of anxiety and stress. My doctor told me himself I should leave that job and that’s when I went for the receptionist job and it was just as bad. I mostly want to get disability because I feel like I’m not reliable to keep a job with doctors appointments and flare ups that I have and I feel like at the reception job I couldn’t handle the easiest of shit my memory is so terrible I got in trouble for fucking up a handful of situations and was actually called “dumb” by a co worker. Not to mention the stress of having to somewhat argue with my boss that I can’t come to work on so many days because I’m going to the doctors or calling out because I feel so sick and having to tell them I’m going to the doctor tomorrow so I can’t come in or I’m in the emergency room and been here for nine hours and it’s already 2am and still here I won’t be able to come to work tomorrow etc. So yeah idk we will see but there’s no way I’m putting myself back in that situation. Now that I get to lay down and relax and a majority of stress is cut from my life I’ve been feeling better but still not by any means I’m completely fine I’m still sick everyday but the stress was making me way sicker.

Invisible Illness Sucks

Nothing like mentioning you’re going to go get that wheelchair and having somebody you thought was a good friend trivialize it and act like you don’t need it. I might not have a diagnosis, but I’m going to the doctor and she’s running tests and it’s in the process. Just because I don’t have a magical note saying I need the wheelchair doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t significantly increase the quality of my life.

I know he didn’t mean it that way, but it’s hard not to hear it that way in my position. My stepmother is disabled and has a ton of joint damage and had to have her hips replaced. She was 40, and you wouldn’t know it happened looking at her. Even she turns up her nose if I mention having any issues, because she likes having the attention. But she even has a handicap placard for her car and people think she’s stolen it and have told her so, which is just unacceptable.

My coworker that I’m talking about only hangs out with me at lunch and the mail room table sometimes. He hasn’t seen how bad it gets. Even my husband has accused me of faking it in the past, and it nearly wrecked the relationship. Because of my rough upbringing and long list of symptoms, I have immense anxiety and depression and my friend would probably feel terrible if he knew I had gone home because I was crying at my desk and couldn’t get it together.

I’m not mad at him, but I’m disappointed. When he said, “You don’t need a wheelchair” and “You’re fine” and “Because you’re so young” he wasn’t thinking further than what he sees every day. On a normal day I’m fine; maybe a little joint pain, or fatigue, or headaches, or blood pressure problems, but I look good, so to him I am okay. He thinks it’s funny that I’m getting a wheelchair, and not in a good way.

What he hasn’t seen is:

★ Me, forcing myself to walk when it feels like ice picks are being wedged between my joints or my knees feel like they’re “slipping” because I love to go to festivals and conventions which require hours of walking with few places to sit and I am desperately trying to enjoy them;

★ Me, crying because the aching in my legs is so severe and I forgot to bring/am out of Tylenol and refuse to take any stronger pain medicine when it’s offered to me because I’m afraid to become resistant/addicted to it;

★ Me, giving up my hobbies of weight training and kendo and my dreams of expanding into martial arts because they exacerbate the joint pain;

★ Me, dealing with the anxiety I get from having such a low pain threshold which prevents me from having the courage to play sports or get tattoos and piercings, or even just get blood drawn or go to the dentist;

★ Me, developing body image problems because my hands are slightly deformed and the bags under my eyes are large and dark, and my skin is weak and my face has pock-scars from tiny injuries that never heal properly so I always have to wear a little makeup to feel comfortable in my skin;

★ Me, starving and/or glued to my bed sick because my stomach doesn’t work properly and if I miss more than a day of my expensive, not-covered-by-insurance medication then every single thing I consume makes my stomach nauseous and my esophagus burn and my skin clammy;

★ Me, becoming depressed when I think about the huge probability that what I have is incurable and will likely get worse as I age and I am only 25 so getting old is going to be a greater hell for me than most;

★ Me, consciously having to train myself out of self-harming actions like biting, scratching, and literally punching the shit out of myself and leaving bruises and damaging my own jaw out of frustration because I am so ashamed of how weak I am even though I am tender with the weakness in others (the last time I hurt myself was two years ago, yay me);

★ Me, crying even more because even the people I love and trust the most might not believe me and may be unkind or inconsiderate to me over it.

I’m not looking for sympathy and I’ll probably be repeating a lot of this to a mental health professional soon, but it helps me to write it out and get it off my chest. I’m sick and I need help, whether somebody can tell that at a glance or not, and it’s really not polite or considerate to counter somebody’s claims of “ I need” with “No you don’t”.

Shocking Flaws in Gardasil Trial Design Prevents Safety Assessment

youtube

By Dr. Mercola

To say that the HPV vaccine is controversial would be a serious understatement. A number of experts have spoken out against the vaccine since its release, and studies have revealed serious problems. Children and teenagers have died or been permanently disabled following HPV vaccination, yet it remains on the market.

The featured 2017 trilogy, "Sacrificial Virgins," looks at the HPV vaccine from a variety of angles. Part 1,1 "Not for the Greater Good," questions the science behind the HPV vaccine and asks "Do we need it?"

Part 2,2 "Pain and Suffering," tells the story of two severely HPV-injured girls in the U.K., highlighting the possibility that the aluminum adjuvant added to Gardasil and Cervarix may be causing the devastating neurological damage seen in young girls and boys.

The third episode,3 "A Penny for Your Pain," looks at legal cases worldwide (in particular Japan, Spain and Colombia), in which victims are seeking compensation for their injuries.

Clinical Trial Participant Speaks Out Against Gardasil

In December 2017, Slate magazine published an article dishing out yet another inconvenient truth about this medically unnecessary vaccine, revealing trials "weren't designed to properly assess safety."4 Slate recounts the story of Kesia Lyng, a 30-year-old Danish woman who, at the age of 19, made the fateful decision to participate in a clinical trial for Merck's Gardasil vaccine.

Gardasil is supposed to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which in rare cases may cause cervical cancer if left untreated. "Lyng's grandmother had died of cervical cancer the year before, so when a letter arrived offering her $500 to take part in a crucial international test of Gardasil, the decision was easy," investigative journalist Frederik Joelving wrote in Slate.

"She got her first shot of the vaccine at Hvidovre Hospital in Copenhagen on September 19, 2002. The symptoms snuck up [sic] on her shortly after her second shot on November 14. They never abated. It wasn't until 2016 that she received her diagnosis — chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) …

In recent years, Lyng has become suspicious that there is a connection between her disease and her Gardasil immunization. Her ailments evoke descriptions found in hundreds of news stories from women who also received the vaccine, as well as several medical case reports from around the world."

Poor Safety Design Has Jeopardized Health of Tens of Millions of Girls

As of March 2016, nearly 90 million doses of HPV vaccines had been distributed among boys and girls in the U.S.,5 and many have paid an extraordinarily high price, coming down with nervous system disorders, CSF and autoimmune diseases. Long-term, the ramifications of this vaccination campaign may turn out to be even more widespread, as trial data from Merck shows that Gardasil vaccinations may actually increase your risk of cervical cancer.6

According to Merck's own research in one of its clinical trials, if you have been exposed to HPV strains 16 or 18 prior to vaccination, you may increase your risk of precancerous lesions caused by these two strains by 44.6 percent.

Reported side effects of Gardasil vaccination include immune-based inflammatory neurodegenerative disorders, suggesting something is causing the immune system to overreact in a detrimental way, sometimes fatally.7 Importantly, a 2012 systematic review8 of pre- and post-licensure trials of the HPV vaccine concluded that the vaccine's effectiveness is both overstated and unproven. According to the authors, the review revealed:

"… evidence of selective reporting of results from clinical trials (i.e., exclusion of vaccine efficacy figures related to study subgroups in which efficacy might be lower or even negative from peer-reviewed publications). Given this, the widespread optimism regarding HPV vaccines long-term benefits appears to rest on a number of unproven assumptions (or such which are at odd with factual evidence) and significant misinterpretation of available data.

For example, the claim that HPV vaccination will result in approximately 70 percent reduction of cervical cancers is made despite the fact that the clinical trials data have not demonstrated to date that the vaccines have actually prevented a single case of cervical cancer (let alone cervical cancer death), nor that the current overly optimistic surrogate marker-based extrapolations are justified.

Likewise, the notion that HPV vaccines have an impressive safety profile is only supported by highly flawed design of safety trials and is contrary to accumulating evidence from vaccine safety surveillance databases and case reports which continue to link HPV vaccination to serious adverse outcomes (including death and permanent disabilities)."

Trials Were Not Designed to Detect Safety Problems

It's precisely these kinds of design flaws that are highlighted in the December 17, 2017, Slate article.9 Joelving reports that Merck has repeatedly "issued reassurances about the thorough randomized trials the vaccines were subjected to before approval." The public was told that the three HPV vaccines marketed in the U.S. were tested on tens of thousands of individuals around the world, without any compelling evidence of serious side effects having emerged.

While that reads well on paper, the shocking truth appears to be that these trials were never designed to detect and evaluate serious side effects in the first place.

"An eight-month investigation by Slate found the major Gardasil trials were flawed from the outset … and that regulators allowed unreliable methods to be used to test the vaccine's safety," Joelving writes. "Drug regulators tend to look much more seriously at potential side effects that surface during a pre-licensure study, which is what Lyng participated in, rather than after a product has already been found to be safe and been put on the market.

But regulators never learned of Lyng's plight. In fact, her repeated complaints of debilitating symptoms were not even registered in the study as potential side effects … Lyng's experience was not unique. Interviews with five study participants and more than 2,300 pages of documents obtained through freedom-of-information requests from hospitals and health authorities suggest inadequacies built into Merck's major clinical tests of Gardasil.

To track the safety of its product, the drugmaker used a convoluted method that made objective evaluation and reporting of potential side effects impossible during all but a few weeks of its yearslong trials. At all other times, individual trial investigators used their personal judgment to decide whether or not to report any medical problem as an adverse event …

Other health issues went on a worksheet for 'new medical history,' reserved for conditions that bore no relation to the vaccine. This study design put the cart before the horse, asking investigators to decide which symptoms might be side effects, rather than tracking everything in the same way."

The Safety Studies That Really Weren't

When adverse events following vaccination are marked down as "medical history" instead of being tagged and investigated as potential side effects, is it any wonder "no side effects have been found" in any of these trials!?

Actually, even that statement is a gross misstatement of facts, as at least one Gardasil trial of the new nine-valent vaccine reported nearly 10 percent of subjects who received the vaccine suffered "severe systemic adverse events" affecting multiple system organ classes, and over 3 percent reported "severe vaccine-related adverse events."10

Joelving also noted that while Merck claims "new medical history" notations are part of the safety metric, he questioned whether it could actually be used as such, since the work sheet doesn't record symptom severity, duration or outcome. "Even if the company then used the data in subsequent safety assessments, the lack of detail would have hampered meaningful analysis," he rightly states.

The 2012 systematic review11 of Gardasil pre- and post-licensure trials mentioned earlier isn't the only report out there that has offered up severe criticism of Merck's trial tactics. Joelving writes:

"In an internal 2014 EMA report12about Gardasil 9 obtained through a freedom-of-information request, senior experts called the company's approach 'unconventional and suboptimal' and said it left some 'uncertainty' about the safety results.

EMA trial inspectors made similar observations in another report, noting that Merck's procedure was 'not an optimal method of collecting safety data, especially not systemic side effects that could appear long after the vaccinations were given.'

'If I were a research subject, I would feel betrayed,' Trudo Lemmens, a bioethicist and professor of health law and policy at the University of Toronto, told me. 'If the purpose of a clinical trial is to establish the safety and efficacy of a new product, whether it's a vaccine or something else, I would expect that they gathered all relevant data, including whether it had side effects or not.'"

Sadly, shoddy and incomplete documentation of adverse events, and follow-up periods that are too short to detect problems, can have tragic ramifications, and this is what appears to have happened with the release of Gardasil.

Joelving's investigation reveals at least five other Danish women went on to develop debilitating health problems during the Gardasil trial. One developed severe fatigue, "persistent flu-like symptoms," and had to be admitted to the hospital for a serious infection shortly after one of her vaccinations.

All of her symptoms were marked down as "medical history" and were not processed as adverse events. A year after her vaccination, she developed such debilitating pain she had to use a wheelchair.

To this day, she still sometimes has to use crutches, and has been given a tentative diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Another young woman also developed severe fatigue and headaches. She told Joelving she reported it to study personnel, yet there's no mention of these problems anywhere in her file.

Serious Design Flaws and Discrepancies Noted by Oncology Dietitian

This isn't the first time we've been warned about shoddy study designs in HPV trials. In 2013, an oncology dietician also pointed out significant discrepancies13 found in an HPV vaccine effectiveness study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases,14 which evaluated data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2003-2006 and 2007-2010.

The study noted that while HPV vaccine uptake among young girls in the U.S. had been low, "the estimated vaccine effectiveness was high."

In her article,15 Sharlene Bidini, RD, CSO, points out that the study's conclusion was based on 740 girls, of which only 358 were sexually active, and of those, only 111 had received at least one dose of HPV vaccine. In other words, the vast majority of these girls were actually unvaccinated, and nearly half were not at risk of HPV in the first place since they weren't sexually active.

"If the study authors were trying to determine vaccine effectiveness, why did they include the girls who had not received a single HPV shot or did not report having sex?" she writes.

In the pre-vaccine era, an estimated 53 percent of sexually active girls between the ages of 14 and 19 had had HPV infections. Between 2007 and 2010, the overall prevalence of HPV in the same demographic declined to 43 percent. As noted by Bidini, this reduction in HPV prevalence simply cannot be attributed to the effectiveness of HPV vaccinations. On the contrary, the data clearly shows that it was the unvaccinated girls in this group that had the best outcomes.

"In 2007-2010, the overall prevalence of HPV was 50 percent in the vaccinated girls (14-19 years), but only 38.6 percent in the unvaccinated girls of the same age. Therefore, HPV prevalence dropped 27.3 percent in the unvaccinated girls, but only declined by 5.8 percent in the vaccinated group. In four out of five different measures, the unvaccinated girls had a lower incidence of HPV," she writes.

Another fact hidden in the reported data was that among the 740 girls included in the post-vaccine era (2007-2010), the prevalence of high-risk, nonvaccine types of HPV also significantly declined, from just under 21 percent to a little over 16 percent. So, across the board, HPV of all types, whether included in the vaccine or not, declined.

This points to a reduction in HPV prevalence that had absolutely nothing to do with vaccine coverage. One reason for this could be that, during the same period, reported sexual activity among young people declined, and their use of condoms increased — two very good reasons why HPV infections would also decline.16 Besides, vaccine uptake was very low to begin with.

Exaggerated Immune Response May Trigger Lifelong Health Problems or Death

In 2012, laboratory scientist Sin Hang Lee published a case report in the peer reviewed journal Advances in Bioscience and Biotechnology,17 discussing the presence of DNA fragments of the HPV virus in the blood and tissue of a healthy teenage girl who died in her sleep, six months after receiving her third and final dose of Gardasil. Lee confirmed the presence of HPV-16 L1 gene DNA in the girl's post-mortem blood and spleen tissue — the same DNA fragments found in the vaccine.

According to Lee, the fragments were protected from degradation by binding to the aluminum adjuvant used in the vaccine. He suggested their presence might offer a plausible explanation for the high immunogenicity of Gardasil, meaning that the vaccine tends to provoke an exaggerated immune response. He pointed out that the rate of anaphylaxis in girls receiving Gardasil is far higher than normal — reportedly five to 20 times higher than any other school-based vaccination program.

The dangers of high immunogenicity was also addressed in my 2015 interview with Lucija Tomljenovic, Ph.D., a research scientist at the University of British Columbia. In it, she explains that by triggering an exaggerated inflammatory immune response, vaccine adjuvants end up affecting brain function. Tomljenovic has also investigated the cross-reactivity between the antibodies raised against vaccine antigens. As it turns out, some of them cross-react with your own tissues.

Many viruses and bacteria share genetic similarities with human proteins. For example, there may be a peptide sequence in the wall of the virus that mimics the structure of a human protein. So, the antibody raised against the virus will then recognize the epitopes in your own tissues that mimic the virus. This has the potential to cause severe harm, and can significantly raise your risk of autoimmune disorders.

In collaboration with a team led by professor Yehuda Shoenfeld, a world expert in autoimmune diseases who heads the Zabludowicz Autoimmunity Research Centre at the Sheba Hospital in Israel, Tomljenovic has demonstrated how the HPV vaccine can cause brain autoimmune disorders. It was these findings that prompted the Japanese government to remove the HPV vaccine from its list of recommended vaccines.18

Gardasil and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

As noted in the Slate article, exaggerated immune activation may also trigger chronic fatigue. Joelving writes:

"Imagining a link between HPV vaccination and CFS is not all that far-fetched, according to Dr. Jose Montoya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and a CFS expert. The condition usually starts with an insult to the immune system — a severe infection, a car crash, a pregnancy. The first symptoms are flu-like, but months go by and the patient realizes she isn't getting better.

In a few genetically predisposed individuals, Montoya told me, it is 'biologically plausible' that the vaccine, which mimics a natural infection, could also trigger an immune response powerful enough to lead to CFS. To find out if that is the case, trial investigators would need to carefully track participants' symptoms 'for at least one year,' he said."

Gardasil Safety Follow-Up Was Just 14 Days Long

The Gardasil trial Lyng participated in neither tracked symptoms nor followed up on long-term health consequences. Joelving writes about her reaction when faced with the truth:

"As we looked through [her trial records] together … she grew visibly upset. 'What's the use of testing a vaccine if you don't register everything properly?' said Lyng … 'It had enormous consequences for my life' … In Lyng's records … there was no mention of fatigue, one of her most debilitating symptoms. Meanwhile, her family doctor began documenting the problem … nine days after she got her third and final shot of Gardasil."

Meanwhile, Lyng claims she discussed her symptoms with study personnel at each visit, but was met with dismissal. "This is not the kind of side effects we see with this vaccine," they would say — a rather remarkable statement, considering it was an experimental vaccine trial, the purpose of which is to tease out possible side effects.

None of her symptoms were recorded as adverse events. Headache, joint pain, gastroenteritis and influenza were all noted under "medical history." Fatigue was left out altogether.

Joelving also notes that the study protocol had a "clinical follow-up for safety" of just 14 days following each of the three injections. Any health problem, including serious adverse events, occurring after those two weeks were simply posted to the medical history.

"This design put individual investigators in charge of deciding, for most of the trial's duration, what would be assessed and reported as a potential side effect," Joelving writes, adding that "Experts I talked to were baffled by the way Merck handled safety data in its trials." One of the experts he talked to was a drug-safety adviser, who told him:

"'Everything from the first injection to the last plus a follow-up period is what we call treatment-emergent adverse events.' She puzzled over the brief, interrupted follow-up periods in the Gardasil trials, as well as Merck's choice not to report nonserious adverse events for all participants and its dismissal of many events as medical history.

'This is completely bonkers,' she said, requesting not to be named for fear of compromising her position in the industry. 'They've set up a protocol that seems very poorly thought through from a medical and safety perspective.'"

Warnings About Gardasil Clinical Trial Flaws in 2006

Shortly after Gardasil was licensed by the FDA in 2006, there were warnings that Merck's clinical trials, which the FDA used to fast track Gardasil to licensure, were methodologically flawed. In a June 27, 2006, press release issued by the nonprofit National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) titled "Merck's Gardasil Vaccine Not Proven Safe for Little Girls,"19 the consumer advocacy organization pointed out that:

Merck used a bioactive aluminum-containing placebo, rather than a true placebo, in Gardasil clinical trials, even though the vaccine contained an aluminum adjuvant

Although Gardasil vaccine recommendations were targeting 12- to 13-year-old girls, Merck did not reveal how many girls under age 16 were in the prelicensure trials (eventually Merck admitted that number was only 1,200 girls, followed for less than two years)

Nearly 90 percent of Gardasil recipients and 85 percent of aluminum placebo recipients in the trials, who were followed up on, reported one or more adverse events within 15 days of vaccination

Gardasil recipients reported more serious adverse events

NVIC cofounder and president Barbara Loe Fisher said in 2006, "Nobody at Merck, the CDC or FDA know if the injection of Gardasil into all preteen girls — especially simultaneously with hepatitis B vaccine — will make some of them more likely to develop arthritis or other inflammatory autoimmune and brain disorders as teenagers and adults.

With cervical cancer causing about 1 percent of all cancer deaths in American women due to routine pap screening, it was inappropriate for the FDA to fast track Gardasil. It is way too early to direct all young girls to get three doses of a vaccine that has not been proven safe or effective in their age group."

Cruel Example of Why Health Authorities Cannot Be Trusted to Tell the Truth About Vaccine Hazards

September 20, 2018, an article20 in The BMJ highlighted the fact that while health authorities swore the pandemic H1N1 swine flu vaccine was safe and had undergone rigorous testing, internal documents unearthed during a lawsuit reveal there were in fact questions about the vaccine’s safety, yet the public was simply never informed.

The vaccine in question was GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix vaccine, which was linked to a surprisingly high number of cases of narcolepsy across Europe. Associate editor of The BMJ, Peter Doshi, writes:

“In October 2009, the U.S. National Institutes of Health infectious diseases chief, Anthony Fauci, appeared on YouTube to reassure Americans about the safety of the ‘swine flu’ vaccine. ‘The track record for serious adverse events is very good. It’s very, very, very rare that you ever see anything that’s associated with the vaccine that’s a serious event,’ he said …

A similar story was playing out in the U.K., with prominent organizations, including the Department of Health, British Medical Association, and Royal Colleges of General Practitioners, working hard to convince a reluctant NHS workforce to get vaccinated. ‘We fully support the swine flu vaccination programme … The vaccine has been thoroughly tested,’ they declared in a joint statement.

Except, it hadn’t … [G]overnments around the world had made various logistical and legal arrangements to shorten the time between recognition of a pandemic virus and … administration of that vaccine in the population … A year later, signs of a problem with Pandemrix were emerging through postmarket reports of narcolepsy …

Now … new information is emerging from one of the lawsuits that, months before the narcolepsy cases were reported, the manufacturer and public health officials were aware of other serious adverse events logged in relation to Pandemrix …

For a range of concerning adverse events, reports were coming in for Pandemrix at a consistently higher rate than for the other two GSK pandemic vaccines — four times the rate of facial palsy, eight times the rate of serious adverse events, nine times the rate of convulsions. Overall, Pandemrix had, proportionally, five times more adverse events reported than Arepanrix and the unadjuvanted vaccine.

And the raw numbers of adverse events were not small … The last report seen by The BMJ, dated 31 March 2010, shows 5,069 serious adverse events for Pandemrix (72 per 1 million doses), seven times the rate for Arepanrix and the unadjuvanted vaccine combined … But neither GSK nor the health authorities seem to have made the information public — nor is it clear that the disparity was investigated …

[T]he events of 2009-10 raise fundamental questions about the transparency of information. When do public health officials have a duty to warn the public over possible harms of vaccines detected through pharmacovigilance? How much detail should the public be provided with, who should provide it and should the provision of such information be proactive or passive? If history were to repeat itself, does the public have a right to know?”

Talk to Your Kids about HPV and Gardasil

There are better ways to protect against chronic HPV infection and cervical cancer than getting an HPV vaccine. In more than 90 percent of cases, HPV infection is cleared within two years on its own, so keeping the immune system strong is far more important than getting vaccinated.

Additionally, HPV infection is spread through sexual contact and research21 has demonstrated that using condoms can reduce the risk of HPV infection by 70 percent, which is far more effective than the HPV vaccine. Other risk factors for chronic HPV infection including multiple sex partners, smoking, coinfection with herpes, chlamydia or HIV, and long-term oral contraceptive use.

Women chronically infected with HPV for many years, who don't get precancerous cervical lesions promptly identified and treated, can develop cervical cancer.

So, it is important to remember that, even if they get vaccinated, girls and women still need to get a Pap test every few years to check for cervical changes that may indicate precancerous lesions, as there is no evidence to suggest the HPV vaccine will actually prevent cervical cancer. Meanwhile, there's a large amount of evidence suggesting Merck cut corners during its vaccine trials and failed to properly assess the vaccine's safety.

12 Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore If You Have Pains All Over Your Body

Do you feel like no matter what part of your body you focus on, it throbs with pain? Does it hurt to even lie down on a bed? Well, then, you might not be hallucinating because it may not just be simple fatigue. There is a disease known as fibromyalgia that has doctors across the globe divided in opinion. The only thing that all of them agree on is the fact that people all over the world need to start taking a lot more care of themselves.

Image: Shutterstock

Below are 12 unrelated but equally important to diagnose symptoms of fibromyalgia:

You find yourself being annoyed and frustrated almost all the time.

You are starting to find it increasingly difficult to focus and remember tasks.

Parts of your body (especially your hand and feet) are subject to unexplainable sensations such as swelling, burning, numbness, etc.

You find yourself getting a fever more often than not.

Your senses are extremely sensitive, and your body seems to have a negative reaction to slight changes in the weather, sounds, and sharp smells.

You experience a lot of discomfort while passing bowels or urine.

Your periods are especially very painful.

You always seem to be suffering from painful headaches.

Even though your entire body is under some sort of pain, there are some points in your body that are under a greater deal of pain than the other points.

You can never seem to maintain a proper sleep cycle.

You always find yourself tired and stiff in the morning, which makes it difficult for you to give your best to the rest of the day.

You have been suffering from constant pain all over your body for more than three months.

Below are three myths that make people take fibromyalgia lightly. Once you know the truth, you will realize that this disease cannot be taken lightly:

Myth 1: Fibromyalgia Is Not Actually A Disease

This is not true. In fact, fibromyalgia is actually one of the most common types of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. People may tell you that you are just behaving like a hypochondriac and that the pains you are feeling are just subjective sensations. This is because even doctors do not know everything about this disease, such as what causes it.

Myth 2: Fibromyalgia Can Only Exist In Elderly Women

Image: Shutterstock

Pay attention, men and young people! Fibromyalgia is known to affect both genders and all age types (1). Although it is more common in people between the ages of 20 years and 50 years, even young children might be affected by it (2). Fibromyalgia is indeed more common in women. However, there is still a possibility for men to develop conditions of this disease.

Myth 3: People Overexaggerate The Pain. It Can Be Tolerated

It is a known fact that people suffering from fibromyalgia can suffer from fits of pain that can even leave them disabled. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), there is a greater chance of people to suffer from a stroke if they suffer from fibromyalgia, especially if they are young (3).

Below are 4 ways you can cope with the pain if you are a victim of fibromyalgia:

1. Make An Appointment With A Doctor

Image: Shutterstock

If you find yourself suffering from more than two or three of the symptoms of fibromyalgia, do not hesitate to visit to your nearest doctor. It is important for people to seek professional help when it comes to such diseases since only a doctor can truly determine whether you are actually suffering from fibromyalgia or not. He/She might also prescribe you some medication to deal with the pain, depending on the extent of the severity of your case.

2. Medication Can Help Deal With The Pain

Fibromyalgia is best treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics. It is also possible for your doctor to prescribe antidepressants.

3. Physical Activities Can Help Strengthen Your Body And Reduce The Pain

Image: Shutterstock

Any form of physical exercise can help you deal with the symptoms of fibromyalgia. A common practice in countries like Japan is to perform a short session of cryotherapy. Playing sports on a regular basis is excellent to suppress the pain caused by fibromyalgia. However, you should take it lightly with more physical forms of sport. Yoga or swimming are great choices to practice on a regular basis.

4. Dealing With The Emotional Damage

Along with attempts to reduce the physical trauma caused by fibromyalgia, it is important to deal with the mental depression it causes within people. By eliminating the negative attitude and emotional distraught, you can evoke positive feelings within yourself, which can help you deal a lot better with fibromyalgia. Doctors believe that adopting a pet can help relieve patients of the pain since they can shift their focus away from their body.

If you’ve noticed the above-mentioned symptoms, don’t dismiss them. Consult your doctor as soon as possible.

5 Ways to Free Yourself From Dark and Obsessive Thoughts

Stuck thoughts. Painful ruminations. Unrelenting obsessions. They are the curse of depression — among the most excruciating symptoms, in my opinion. “When a child gets lost, he may feel sheer terror,” explains Byron Katie in her bestseller Loving What Is. “It can be just as frightening when you’re lost inside the mind’s chaos.”

I can usually gauge the severity of my depression based on the intensity and frequency of my stuck thoughts. Sometimes they can outright debilitate me. One seemingly benign thought — often a rumination about a decision I have made in the past, a regret of one form or another, or sometimes something that makes no sense at all — is packed with panic and plays over and over again in my mind, keeping me awake at night and besieging me with anxiety during the day.

More than any other symptom of my depression — more so even than unrestrained tears and bawling my eyes out in public — the stuck thoughts make me feel truly insane, scared to be living inside my body and mind.

In my post 9 Ways to Let Go of Stuck Thoughts, I offer some tools to deal with obsessions. But since I’ve been imprisoned by this insanity as of late, I thought I’d share more of them with you that have helped me escape, if only for a few minutes, to a place of peace.

1. Rely on Other Brains

In the state of severe rumination, your brain is toast. You have to fully admit that — it’s the first step of most 12-step programs. You can’t rely on your logic or any of the content that’s streaming through your neurons, because it’s all inaccurate. You need to rely on other brains to help you sort out the stuck thought and tease it apart until you arrive at the truth.

Fortunately, I have a handful of friends who know the insanity of ruminations and have walked with me through this in the past. They know it’s what I do when I get depressed. I get hooked on one thought and use it to beat myself to the ground until I feel absolutely worthless. So I have to believe in their logic. They remind me of why I made certain decisions, why they were the right ones, and why that decision has absolutely nothing to do with the panic that is raging through my body.

When I’m on the phone with them, I write down everything they say like a newspaper reporter because I will need that information handy for when the thoughts come — and I can’t afford to bother them again. I have a journal filled with the reasonable logic of my friends, and sometimes (not always) accessing their truth calms me down as if I’m talking to them again. I try to trust them because I know I can’t trust my own brain.

2. Investigate the Thought

“I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn’t caused by attaching to an untrue thought,” writes Katie. “Depression, pain, and fear are gifts that say, ‘Sweetheart, take a look at what you’re thinking right now. You’re living in a story that isn’t true for you.’” In her book, she explains what she calls The Work, a way of inquiring or investigating your thought with four simple questions:

It it true?

Can I absolutely know that it’s true?

How do I react when I think that thought?

Who would I be without the thought?

Then you turn the thought around. You rewrite your statement as the opposite. If you said, “I am a failure,” your turnaround might be, “I am a success.” And you find three genuine, specific examples of how the turnaround is true in your life.

If my ruminations are severe, this strategy doesn’t always work. As I mentioned in my other piece, sometimes it’s better not to analyze the thought. But just asking myself the first question, “Is this true?”, can sometimes forge a little distance between the rumination and my symptoms of anxiety or be a reminder that I’m caught in a story that isn’t accurate.

3. Visualize the Thoughts as Hiccups

Ruminations are symptoms of depression just as nausea or fatigue are symptoms of the flu. If my fever spiked or I developed a bad case of hiccups, I wouldn’t berate myself for those symptoms. Yet I feel totally at fault for my stuck thoughts, as if they are a weakness of my character, which further pushes me down the rabbit hole of despair. One of my friends recently yelled at me over the phone, “THEY ARE NOT YOUR FAULT!!” when I told him that all the mindfulness exercises I had been doing were making me feel even worse — as though I were creating the ruminations by not being able to let go or detach in the right way.

He reminded me that when they reach a certain intensity — when they are making me hyperventilate over the phone to a friend as I was doing, or they totally disable me — mindfulness doesn’t work. At this point, I’m better off imagining them as physical symptoms of an illness and say, “Here they are again …” rather than to constantly try to meditate them away or release them in the zen fashion that I would like.

4. Use a Mantra

“When my thoughts become intense,” a friend told me recently, “I will use a mantra as a kind of racket to hit the ball back.” Repeating a mantra helps her be prepared for the thoughts when they come. She told me to look through Scripture and find something that resonates with me. I chose “Be not afraid,” as it appears throughout the Bible more than any other phrase, and is also my favorite hymn — one that I would sing all the time as a young girl when I was scared — based on my favorite psalm. A mantra doesn’t have to be religious, of course. It can just be a simple phrase, like “Peace be with me.” Or “I am okay.” Or “This will pass.”

5. Do the Thing in Front of You

I said this recently in my piece on suicidal thoughts. When I’m battling severe ruminations, my head is usually trapped in the past or in the future, fretting a decision I’ve made a month ago or worrying about something a week or a year from now that may never even come to be. The thoughts engulf me in a world that is not real and spin panic everywhere I look. At this point, I can’t handle a day’s worth of concerns, or even 15 minutes of them.

What helps immensely is to concentrate only on the task in front of me. If I’m working, this means trying my best to craft a sentence that makes sense. If I’m with the kids, it means helping with their math problems or making a snack. Sometimes it helps to have an anchor to the present moment, such as concentrating on my breath or tuning into my senses.

But when mindfulness doesn’t work, I try to tell myself that all I have to do is the thing I am already doing.

Candid Conversation With Floxed Doctor Reveals True Dangers of Fluoroquinolones - My Quin Story

New Post has been published on http://www.myquinstory.info/candid-conversation-floxed-doctor-reveals-true-dangers-fluoroquinolones/

Candid Conversation With Floxed Doctor Reveals True Dangers of Fluoroquinolones

Every once in a while I get the dubious honor of talking to a doctor who has become floxed, with this happening again quite recently. My conversation with this doctor is a poignant example of how truly dangerous the Fluoroquinolones (FQ’s) are in our society.

Sometimes, it is hard to put into layman’s terms what has happened to a person when they are struggling for answers to FQ toxicity. It is doubly hard to try to explain it to a medical professional, who has to shed paradigms and biases in order to grasp a hold of what has happened to them. Especially a physician, who themselves has been prescribing FQ’s throughout their career.

“In your opinion, what is happening to my body?” the doctor asked me puzzled by the symptoms he was exhibiting. “I have run all the standard tests and I am coming up with nothing conclusive. I have tendon issues, peripheral neuropathy, anxiety, and I have had to stop practicing. I keep racking my brain and logically, the Cipro and Levaquin are the only things that it could possibly be. I ran across your website and I decided to reach out to you. Believe me; it took a while before I got the courage to contact you. I must have rehashed this at least a dozen times.”

This doctor treated himself for a urinary tract infection with Cipro. When he had a reaction to the antibiotic he assumed it was a specific allergy to Cipro, and gave himself a round of Levaquin, thinking he would just discontinue it if he had any negative reactions. This is exactly what happened, but when his symptoms did not go away, he became puzzled and alarmed.

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Many people, including doctors, assume the safety of the FQ’s. The FQ’s are lumped in with all the rest of the antibiotics. Doctors are programmed with paradigms that tacitly downplay the adverse events associated with the FQ’s and the patients trust in and believe the doctors. However, on occasion, doctors fall prey to the same system.

Many doctors, including this doctor, assume that the FQ’s only affect bacteria; that the FQ’s only interfere with bacterial DNA via topoisomerases. They were never taught in medical school that bacterial DNA and mitochondrial DNA share many similarities. Medical school curricula is almost exclusively memorization, so most doctors aren’t trained to think critically. Doctors have a difficult time taking disparate pieces of information and combining them. Despite the fact that the FDA pointed out in their April 17, 2013 pharmacovigilance review that the FQs affect mitochondrial topoisomerases, many doctors don’t get the information. As a matter of fact, researchers as far back as 1993 knew that FQ’s were damaging mitochondria and still the info has not reached the average doctor.

Now, to the average person reading this article, this may not sound like such a big deal. As a matter of fact someone reading this may ask, “so what?”

That was the reaction of this doctor, “Okay, so what does that mean?”

“Pay attention and let this sink in,” I told the doctor, “The ONLY other topoisomerase interrupting drugs are chemotherapy agents. Again, let that sink in for a minute.”

Chemotherapy

“That’s absurd,” the doctor replied.

I paused for a moment before I continued, “All the other topoisomerase interrupting drugs are chemotherapy drugs that are used to treat cancer.”

The doctor was silent.

“You are free to look up the information. The topoisomerase method of action that they know about is well documented,” I said, offering to supply the doctor with sources.

“In some people it seems as though the FQ’s can’t tell the difference between bacterial DNA and mitochondrial DNA,” I interjected.

“So, to give you an example that you can relate to, you just gave yourself two rounds of chemotherapy. The second round, Levaquin, was after you already had a bad reaction to the first round, Cipro,” I said.

I continued, “Think of it more like a crude form of systemic chemotherapy. That is the best description that I can give you to make you understand what has happened to your body. And that is not all.”

“I did not learn any of this in medical school,” the doctor replied stunned at the revelation.

I went on, “Additionally there are many methods of action by the FQ’s that are poorly understood or not elucidated at all in the literature. “

Poorly Understood

When I read technical journals and research papers I find phraseology such as this:

“but poorly understood exceptions have been documented.“

“The explanation for the apparently anomalous behavior of the fluoroquinolone is as yet unclear.“

“The molecular nature of the interaction of quinolones with their target enzymes is only incompletely understood.“

“A number of aspects of quinolone action remain to be described.”

“Also to be defined are all the factors that are necessary for generating DNA double-strand breaks and cell death.“

I realize that there is so much unknown about the FQ’s method of action.

In Many Ways Worse Than Chemo

In one of my conversations with an FQ researcher who is a geneticist and oncologist, he told me that there is something much more involved in the FQ adverse event process than seen in the average adverse events from chemotherapy.

I use the chemo analogy for two reasons:

First, the method of action by the chemo is similar to one of the methods used by the FQ’s.

And second, chemo is an example that most people can relate to.

I will be the first person to tell you that in many ways the syndrome created by an adverse event to the FQ’s is much worse than the effects of chemo. It is like chemo adverse events on steroids with some added horrors thrown in.

“Ok, so who do I need to see to take care of this?” the doctor asked me.

“There is no one, that is the tragedy,” I said.

“What do you mean there is no one?” the doctor questioned with some anger in his voice.

“We have been trying to get the attention of the public, doctors, and the government for years. Only recently has the FDA even acknowledged FQAD, despite tens of thousands of adverse events reported to them,” I said, relating the difficult advocacy struggle that has taken place.

“I approached some of my colleagues about what had happened to me and they did not believe me,” the doctor replied.

“That is not uncommon, imagine being the average patient,” I countered.

“So, in your opinion how long before I get better?” the doctor asked.

“Do you want the truth or the sugar coated answer?” I asked

“I always prided myself in being straightforward, so give it to me straight,” the doctor said.

“Well, I am not a doctor mind you, but you floxed yourself twice. In my opinion, you were exhibiting signs of toxicity after the first course of therapy, and mistakenly you gave yourself a second course from the same family of drugs. In addition, I believe you may have mentioned that you gave yourself a steroid which is basically contraindicated with this medication and can hasten adverse events. You are currently exhibiting all the signs of a classic shotgun reaction: tendon and muscle issues, progressing neuropathy, anxiety, insomnia, and vision issues. You are in your late 50’s. All of this makes for a very poor prognosis,” I said.

There was silence.

After a few moments, “Is there anything I can do?”

“Yes, find yourself a doctor. It won’t be easy. If you can find a DO or MD who believes in a balanced approach and will help you symptomatically, then you will at least have some help,” I explained.

“If it makes you feel any better, there is so much we do not know. I have seen people disabled from one pill and others who took several hundred with no adverse event. Some people recover and some do not, there is no rhyme or reason. So, you could see some recovery, so hold on to that hope,” I said in a compassionate tone.

Ticking Time Bomb

“You said something about a classic shotgun reaction is there other types of reactions?” he asked.

“We don’t really have enough time to go into it, but in a nutshell, the FQ’s are a ticking time bomb. Many people take them and feel fine, only to come down with adverse events, weeks or many months later. Damage caused to the mitochondria is not always immediately observed since mitochondria turn over slowly in many tissues. Depending on the degree of damage, time is required for the amount of mitochondrial machinery to become pathogenic,” I explained.

“Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic regional pain syndrome, and possibly even Parkinson’s or worse,” I said.

“Oh my God,” the doctor said.

“Yes, we could use God’s help. Think about how many people have had an FQ and have come down later with CFS/ME, Fibromyalgia, or some neurodegenerative disease. The doctor and the patient never connect the cause. Or worse yet, the patient connects the cause and the doctor completely dismisses the patient outright,” I adamantly said.

“Have you talked to other doctors that have had this happen to them?” the doctor asked.

“Yes”

“Can you put me in contact with them?” he asked further.

“Yes, I can give you a few names and emails,” I said.

“If it is any consolation, I am sorry that this happened to you. I will do what I can to help you with the limited knowledge that I have,” I offered.

“If there is anything I can do to help out, please let me know, ” he offered back.

“I will take you up on that, but first, we will wait until you feel somewhat better,” I said.

With that we hung up, knowing I would hear back from him again. My thoughts reflected on a quote from HP Lovecraft “From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.”
