This may be a bad take, I dont know but, I wholeheartedly believe any doctor or medical professional that openly admit to not believing in certain invisible disabilities (cough* the rise in doctors on Twitter claiming FND is made up cough*) and especially those that openly mock patients exhibiting symptoms of said disorders should not be allowed to practice medicine.

You can never win

every time I go into the doctor and they tell me about the 1 in 1 million chance reaction to a medication:

no, you don't understand dude. I am spiders georg. it will be happening specifically to me or my body will find a New and Fucked Up way to react to this medication that shouldn't even happen.

Anyone else sick of POTS or other chronic illnesses?

June 18,2022 - I started having severe tremors of my head/neck and right arm/hand.

June 20, 2022 - I saw my PCP who was concerned with sudden onset of symptoms. He would not let me leave his office until he spoke with neuro.

June 21, 2022 - I spent 9 hours in the ER. CT was clear, Blood work was relatively normal. Sent home with Rapid neurologist appointment.

June 23, 2022 - I see the rapid Neuro clinic. He sends me for more bloodwork and refers for MRI.

August 14, 2022 - The first episode of loss of consciousness. I also had weird stabbing migraines prior to episode.

August 21, 2022 - MRI of head and spine

I had my MRI results 5 days after my scan. I never heard from the neurologist. I phoned 3 weeks later to book an appointment to discuss the results. When the receptionist phoned back she told me that the doctor wanted her to relay my "normal" results and that he would no longer be seeing me.

Normal? 1.2 cm cyst in my brain is not "NORMAL". Thats not even the kicker... It has been there for 10 YEARS. None of my doctors thought it was important information.

Now this particular type of cyst, Pineal gland cyst. Has always been over looked by the medical community. They typically watch them and wait... Even if you have all of the symptoms. They won't even discuss the possibility.

Currently feeling defeated.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Im in Canada

Abled people: if you ever feel bad take a shower, take a nap, go for a walk, or eat. 😊 You'll feel much better afterwards!

Me, a chronic insomniac who a has food intolerance and worsened chronic pain with standing:

What Fibromyalgia looks like on a good day and on a bad day.

Glass Boxed Inferiority Complex

how oppressive to allow your wandering thoughts grab hold of your sanity

you’re convictions of being so inconsequential

instantaneous paroxysm encumbers you

corroding your heart- your vivacity infinitely

superficial tenderness pelted toward you with such disregard

how eerie it is for you to never have expectation for anyone but yourself

a precise consistent collection of inefficiency from your imperative masses

insignificant consciousness with your inadequate self regard, appreciation, pomposity

all you seem to have left is to find comfortability in apprehension and reconcile your adversity unaccompanied

but you ponder the course of calamity and its duration

if you have the might or if it is gradually chipping away your liveliness

how desperately you yearn for your vision of affection/compassion with no reservation

you may readily forsake your posterity for some sense of alleviation of your dismal existence

you’re thoroughly disoriented in your sentience

how will you ever deviate from this impediment excluding your stipulated disposition and integrity?

I've decided I'm going to start introducing myself with letters after my name, like a doctor or something.

"Hi, I'm Gemma, IBS, GAD, ADHD, PTSD. Nice to meet you."

There is no winning

So I got a package from @dirtybourbonclothing with the two shirts I ordered my favorite of course is "you don't look sick" because as someone with #dysautonomia #fibromyalgia #costacondritis #osteoarthritis and #pcos it's just a list of #invisableillness which doctors, friends, and family can end up telling you, #youdontlooksick or "you're to young to be so sick"...... thanks, can you please tell my body that it shouldn't be like this 😒😒😒 My other shirt of I Hate Everyone is actually for a friend, but I will probably steal it, or order one just for myself, because #covid has made me realize I really don't like people 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #myrtlebeachmodel #naturallighting #redhead #scmodels #southcarolinamodel #shopsmall #smallbusiness #shopsmallbusiness #marylandsmallbusiness #beautyunaltered #nodigitaldistortion #beautyunfiltered #clothingmodel #clothingbrand #chronicillness #chronicpain #itsokaynottobeokay #artistsoninstagram #artist #dysautonomiawarrior #fibromyalgiawarrior #nomakeup (at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQxXlORppsl/?utm_medium=tumblr
