Oh God, better reblog!! đŹ
Oh oh!
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think âWell, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot moreâ so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that â10â is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said â6â because I thought âWell, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.â
I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her â10âł there, and so is like, well, Iâm conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors donât take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)
So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of ânothingâ to âhow Iâd imagine itâd feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fireâ.Â
I hate reposting stuff, but Iâll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, hereâs a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I canât embed images in a chat or an ask.Â
This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.
Pain Scale transcription:
10 - I am in bed and I canât move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.
9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.
8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.
7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.
6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.
5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.
4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.
3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.
2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.
1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.
0 - I have no pain.
Itâs also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how âbadâ any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly.Â
For example, if someone asked me how much pain Iâm in at any given time, Iâd say hardly any, and yet Iâm apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day.Â
Thereâs also a similarly useful âFatigue Scaleâ
I havenât been below a 5 on this scale for 4 yearsÂ
Hereâs the fatigue scale
Fatigue scale image desc:
10: can barely move; canât talk
9: can barely move; can talk
8: can move, but canât do much more than watch TV
7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously
6: can do work on my computer lying in bed
5: can get around the house, but definitely couldnât go out
4: can run a light errand
3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy
2: can do three or more activities in a single day
1: going clubbing!

Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:
MILD
1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. Youâre probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!
2 - Youâre a bit frustrated or disappointed, but youâre easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.
3 - Things are bothering you, but youâre coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.
MODERATE
4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.
5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.
6 - You canât do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.
SEVERE
7 - Youâre avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.
8 - You canât hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.
9 - Youâre at a critical point. You arenât functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.
10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You canât imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.
These are so important! SO SO IMPORTANT SHARE THIS AND SAVE IT TO SHOW YOUR DOCTORS!
what you need to do if i have a convulsive seizure
I was just complaining to my friend that my oldest sister didnât know what to do the last time I had a convulsive seizure, and I ended up injured because of it. And my friend said that actually, they donât know what to do when they see someone have a convulsive seizure, either.
So I thought Iâd explain it to you. Â Iâm not a doctor, and I have no medical training and not everything here will apply to everyone who has convulsive seizures, these are just the things that apply to me, and when in doubt, call an ambulance.Â
Hereâs what you do:
Look around. Am I lying in the middle of a busy street or on the railroad tracks, or somewhere else dangerous, like in the bathtub? If yes, drag me to somewhere where I am not in imminent danger of being hit by a truck or drowning.Â
Am I somewhere safe, but lying near dangerous things like fire or knives or broken glass or pans of boiling water or anything that can hurt me? Move the dangerous things away from me.
My body will be convulsing. That means my head and my arms and my legs are rapidly hitting the ground. Put something soft underneath my head. If thereâs a cushion right there, perfect. If not, wad up your coat or shove your shopping bag under my head. If thereâs nothing immediately to hand that would take you more than a few seconds to grab, stick your feet underneath my head, itâll work.
Am I wearing anything around my neck, like a tight collar, or a necktie, or a choker? Loosen it, so my airway is clear.
Donât restrict my movements - donât try to hold my arms and legs down. Youâve already moved all the dangerous things away from me, and cushioned my head, so donât hold me down, unless it is necessary to keep me from doing serious harm.
Donât put anything in my mouth. A lot of people think you need to stick your fingers or a spoon or something into the personâs mouth to prevent them choking on their tongue. Â Donât do this.Â
Try to make a note of the time the seizure first started. If the seizure lasts for longer than five minutes, call an ambulance.
When the convulsing/jerking has stopped, roll me onto my side. If you know what the recovery position is, put me in the recovery position, if you donât, just roll me onto my side, and check my airway. If Iâm not breathing, or Iâm having trouble breathing, call an ambulance.
It seems to be instinctive to help someone get back to their feet as soon as the seizure is over. Donât do this with me. After a seizure, Iâm in something called a post-ictal state. It makes me very, very confused, and lying on the ground or sitting somewhere soft is the safest place for me. If you pull me to my feet while Iâm still this confused, I will walk directly into traffic or put my hand on a hot stove because I wonât know where I am, or whatâs happening, and often I wonât be able to see at all for a few minutes. Keep me somewhere safe until Iâve fully recovered.
If I have another seizure before Iâve fully recovered from the earlier one, call an ambulance.
If you think I might be hurt, or youâre confused or not sure about what to do, call an ambulance.
Thatâs all there is to it. Make sure Iâm not in immediate physical danger; cushion my head (but donât restrain it); when the jerking stops, roll me onto my side and check my airway; keep me somewhere safe until Iâm fully recovered, and if the seizure lasts a long time, or I have a second one, or you arenât sure what to do or you think I might be hurt, call an ambulance. Thatâs it. Itâs not hard, and I promise you can do this.
THIS THIS THIS The last time I had a convulsive seizure in public, somebody held my arms down and both shoulders dislocated
Also itâs a myth that peope can swallow their tongues.Â
I am a doctor and I approve this message.Â
A huge number of people are already getting fucked over when it comes to being allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Letâs try to minimize what that number COULD be as much as possible. It might also be useful to have the number for the ACLU written down (or already in your phone) so you can CALL THEM while still at the polling place and get whatever information is needed in order to see about having the ACLU sue them. Write down names. Get witnesses. Take photos. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE POLLSTERS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. (Unless you have reason to believe theyâre going to be assholes and try to have you arrested for doing so, in which case, be as subtle as possible.)
Some more info on this, state by state.
^^ Really look at the state by state info so just in case this happens youâll know what to do!
Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?
Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!
The United States Government:
(Watch how many people donât get this.)
#raises hand #i dont understand #please explain?Â
In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.
It doesnât matter what itâs for.
Youâre saving up for a new wheelchair?
For college?
To put a downpayment on a house?
Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?
Your benefits immediately get cut off if youâre a cent over $2,000.
And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.
So say you get $400. If they find out youâre twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.
âWhat if I spend the money that day?â
Doesnât matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.
And yes, this system literally kills people.
Remember when âGuardians of the Galaxyâ came out? one of Rocket Racoonâs creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.
before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantloâs family.
Bill Mantloâs brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.
Thatâs so utterly depressing.
disgusting
I have friends on welfare who wonât pick up a penny in the street because theyâd risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.
oh look another fucked up thing in this world. letâs just add it to the list. number 63858b
My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.
Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesnât want to get anywhere near 2,000.
And hereâs the funnest part of the story!
One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didnât want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.
The state IMMEDIATELY (Iâm talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.
He also had to cancel his renterâs assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money theyâd cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and itâs the stupidest shit in human history.
Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?
Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the ânation of opportunityâ looks like.
Thereâs something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!
thank you so much for this information. iâm applying for an abled account right now
THERES A WHAT

I get a lot of questions from people who want to teach their kids environmental stewardship and my advice is to get them passionate about the nature around them. Distant wildlife is exciting and cool! It can teach them to appreciate, but I find it rarely teaches them to value.
Value and respect come from recognizing your place in nature and your ability to both help and hurt.
Go outside and just move some rocks and let them hold some worms. Let them get muddy. If they squash a bug, ask them why. Tell them the bugs live here too.
This sounds silly, but itâs tried and true. Each time Iâve seen a kid smash a bug, I say âwhy did you feel that bug wasnât allowed to be alive?â Never in an accusing tone, never judgmental. Ask them gently, honestly. They might be dismissive and bashful at first, but if you ask them again, if you say âI like bugs, and I think itâs good that they are alive,â they start to think. You can see it happen. You can see them begin to consider life theyâve probably been told before doesnât mater.
Tell them what you like about bugs. If youâre afraid of bugs, tell them that too. tell them âI find them a little scary, but this is why theyâre still good.â Tell them they donât have to like something for it to have value. Tell them even the things they donât like have value.
Every time a child says theyâre afraid of bugs, or dirt, we go outside, and I find a worm (most people react best to them because they donât have a bunch of little legs), and I hold it and tell them some simple little facts. I ask them if they want to hold it. They almost always do. Itâs okay if they donât want to. Never force the interaction. Itâs vital to form positive experiences and associations.
I wipe some mud on my hands. I ask them if they want some mud on their hands. If they do, I give them some mud. I tell them what worms are doing down their in the ground, which anyone can learn on google to share.
We move rocks and find beetles and spiders. Theyâre delicate, so we donât pick them up. We watch them. I ask them what they imagine beetles think about all day, and they always make me laugh with their ideas. I tell them âmaybe, maybe thatâs what beetles think about.â Let them imagine.
Look up the birds where you live. Yes, even the âboringâ ones like pigeons and sparrows. Talk about what the eat, where they go at night to sleep. Ask them where the think birds sleep. In beds like us? Theyâll usually tell you no, in trees! Kids want to teach as much as they want to learn.
We talk about grass and trees. We talk about what makes the world alive. Their young minds change and make new decisions about how they want to exist in the world.
One day, if all goes well, value and respect grow into a sense of responsibility and obligation.
Do this again and again.

[image description: screenshot of a Facebook post by Marisa Dahlman, timestamped Friday at 3:16pm. Date not specified.
Post reads as follows
I performed an emergency surgery several months ago to treat a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The patient could have died, but we were able to stabilize her and send her home the same day.
She called my office this week in tears asking why we did not reimplant her pregnancy in her uterus, why did we not offer her this option. Because maybe her baby didnât have to die.
Pseudoscience is invading my operating room and my relationship with my patients. This poor woman had to have emergency surgery, and then grieved the loss of a pregnancy that was never viable, that could have killed her.
And now she is grieving it again because politicians who lack even the most basic understanding of the physiology of pregnancy are dangling untruths in front of her and calling it fact.
In case anyone reading this is wondering, THIS IS NOT A THING. It is NOT POSSIBLE to reimplant ectopic pregnancies into the uterus. These are NOT viable pregnancies, and all the wishing in the world, the magical thinking, the political grandstanding, will not make it so.
End image description]
Hi friends. Quick anatomy lesson, complete with fun pictures.
This is the reproductive system in question.
Interesting, right? Iâve been told it looks like a shark.
In viable pregnancies, a fertilized egg (known as a zygote in biology) implants in the wall of the uterus.
As the pregnancy progresses, the zygote grows. Cells undergo mitosis (where the cells replicate) and differentiation (where the cells take on special jobs and become organ systems). At full term, the zygote resembles a baby we know.
The placenta delivers nutrients to the fetus and helps detoxify wastes. From the placenta comes the umbilical cord, which serves a similar purpose. The fetusâ head presses against the cervix, through which it will pass during birth. The part in the circle are the pregnant personâs internal organs! The uterus smooshes them to make room. Itâs no wonder they use the restroom so often!
In an ectopic pregnancy, however, the zygote doesnât implant correctly.
It can implant in a variety of places (including the fallopian tube, pictured) to which it is not suited.
After it implants, it continues to undergo mitosis (which we talked about earlier). Whereas the uterus is equipped to deal with this exponential growth, other parts of the body are not.
As the zygote grows, it puts immense strain on the organ it implanted in. If it continues to grow too long, it can rupture! The zygote will lose blood supply and will quickly die. The pregnant person will begin to bleed internally without proper medical care. Left alone, it can lead to death of the pregnant person.
This diagram is a little complex, but put very simply, because the zygote hasnât implanted in the right place originally, it cannot be removed and implanted in the correct one. It wonât be able to fuse correctly with the uterus, or to send signals to develop the umbilical cord and placenta we talked about earlier, not to mention that the rupture causes blood to be diverted from the zygote, effectively killing it before it can be implanted.
Not only is it futile, but itâs unsafe for the pregnant person. Ectopic pregnancies cause blood loss, which is exacerbated by further surgical intervention. Exposure to external environments exposes the zygote to infection, and surgical implantation exposes the pregnant person to infection, which could also lead to pregnancy complication or loss.
To make a long story short: you cannot reimplant an ectopic pregnancy. Please stop trying.

self-defense is important.
Is this relevant to my blog? No. but currently there are 13K of you following me and this could help some of you.Â
I didnât even hesitate to reblog. You need to study this. Save yourself from this awful world and the people in it.
Boost.
Always Reblog. You may Save a Life.
Also: It might be even better if you try the moves out many times (with a caring friend) so it becomes second nature. When situations like these arise, your shock and fear might immobilize your mind, leaving only reliance to muscle memory.
Dog owners please be aware.
REBLOG THIS PLEASE
This is Snopes-confirmed. Also be aware this is very common in sugar free food of many kinds. The retriever puppy who I know of who died of xylitol poisoning got hold of a pack of sugar-free gum.
Always good to remind folks - if it has xylitol, KEEP IT AWAY FROM DOGS! It induces profound hypoglycemia and liver failure and is life-threatening :(
Xylitol is also the typical ingredient in sugar free candies and some baked goods. Other names, if youâre checking labels:
What other names is Xylitol known by? Birch Sugar, E967, Meso-Xylitol, MĂ©so-Xylitol, Sucre de Bouleau, Xilitol, Xylit, Xylite, Xylo-pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol.

About Ligur
Potentially dumb question to the GO fandom: since Adam restored the bookshop, the Bentley, and âno one had diedâ... is it safe to assume that Ligur is back amongst the living again, too? Or did the holy water destroy him so thoroughly that even the anti-Christ doesnât have the power to bring him back?
If heâs back, well... yiiikes!
We were never engaged, no matter what people say. She promised me nothing.
This scene broke me.
I know itâs fun to joke about Aziraphale lying to God, but I bet dollars to doughnuts God was like âokay, so youâre lying for the sake of the humans? The humans I made? The humans I made for all you angels to take care of? The humans I cast out Lucifer for, because he refused to love Them as he loved Me? Thatâs why youâre lying?â and that was when She decided Aziraphale was her new favorite, and that he wasnât going to Fall unless he turned against humanity.
Aziraphale was proving in this moment that he wants to protect humanity so hard that he would risk Falling for them in a heartbeat. He demonstrates here that he not only wants to protect humans from the dangers of Earth, but from GOD HERSELF if necessary.
Angels might be sexless, but Aziraphaleâs metaphorical balls are the size of the observable universe.
