I have updated my Twitch stream schedule. Please be aware that due to my medical conditions, streams and other events are subject to cancellation or rescheduling at any time!
Reminder to follow me at twitch.tv/melon_ayo and join the Discord, at the link in my bio!
Dear corporate workers,
If you put your pronouns in your email signature to seem like an ally, please pay attention to the pronouns in other peopleâs signatures and refer to them accordingly.
Please spell their names right. It baffles me the amount of blindness people have through email⌠like itâs spelled out right there for you. Copy and paste.
People like to leave extra letters off my name and call me she when theyâve never even met me. How can you just boldly assume the gender of a person you only correspond with through the written word??
Signed,
A frustrated trans employee
I wanted to give a little health update.
I got in to see the cardiologist, and he referred me to get a tilt table test, echocardiogram, and to wear a monitor for two weeks. I have done the first two.
During the tilt table, I experienced a syncope episode at the very end of the test. They called me and let me know I had Vasovagal Syncope, a type of dysautonomia.
My echo looked normal according to the sonographer, so Iâm grateful that thereâs nothing wrong with my heart! My EKGs have all been normal too.
I have called the office three times, and every single time I have been sent to voicemail. I have not received a call back. Iâm trying to get this freakin monitor, but they are not being helpful! I really need them to move it along so I can get the rest of this over with.
I see my primary care next week, and Iâm going to pony up and ask her for a referral to a physical therapist to be evaluated for a wheelchair. Itâll be a lot insurance wise, but I feel that with my cases for fibromyalgia and vasovagal syncope, I will be able to get it taken care of. I simply canât do the things I used to do anymore, in my home or outside of it.
I plan on asking for a manual wheelchair with power assist. Wish me luck!
My prior authorization hold has allegedly been lifted for Nurtec, so hopefully I can get my migraines under control. Iâm not sure if the pharmacy will be able to fill it yet, but weâll see.
Celebrex is okay. I am still in daily pain. Iâm also just completely fatigued. I didnât get out of bed until 7:30 pm today⌠my body simply does not feel rested no matter how much I sleep. And I am sleeping, Iâm not just laying in bed. What I wouldnât give to feel wide awakeâŚ
I will have to repeat my thyroid levels soon. I want to ask for a repeat ANA and an A1C to check for lupus and insulin resistance. I would like to check my cortisol too, but that might take a while. Itâs really hard to read consistently.
Iâm shying away from Ehlers Danlos. I donât think I meet the criteria, but I do know that Iâm hypermobile. Itâs just hard to tell if thatâs whatâs causing my pain or if itâs something else (like lupus).
Thatâs all I have for now, just dumping it here for my records really 𫶠thanks to those who read this silly little blog. I hope youâre doing well.
If you donât experience the pain that I do every day, you donât get to judge me.
Not my food habits.
Not my hygiene.
Not my productivity.
Not the clothes I wear.
Not my outlook on life.
Not my goals.
Not my medications.
Not my weight.
Not your body!
You donât get to decide if I have a moral failing because you think youâre better than me and you could handle it better. Please, try to experience one day of pain like mine. Try to experience one week.
When youâre faced with the choice of not eating and ordering fast food, itâs an easy choice. You choose to eat.
When youâre faced with passing out or wiping yourself down with baby wipes, itâs an easy choice. You choose to be safe.
I am sick of the lectures about whatâs good for me, the dangers of seed oils, how medication is propaganda from big pharma, how Iâm just lazy and I can take a damn shower.
ITâS NOT YOUR BODY, so get out of my business.
Thank you @muahahahahah and everyone who got me to 1000 reblogs! đđ
We have raised $220 so far! But we are so far from our goal. If you could reblog this, it would mean the world. Thank you.

Mutual aid request. Three people including me lost our only source of transportation. All three of us work and are students. We need your help. If you canât donate, please hit reblog! It helps just as much. Thank you!
So every time someone says something is âlazyâ they usually mean âefficiency is a violation of the capitalist principal of productivity and therefore seems like a moral failingâ
Dishwashers arenât lazy, theyâre efficient
Washing machines and dryers arenât lazy, theyâre efficient
Driving cars isnât lazy, itâs efficient
Sending an email isnât lazy, itâs efficient
Showers arenât lazy, theyâre efficient
Amazon isnât lazy, itâs efficient
Doordash isnât lazy, itâs efficient
Microwaves arenât lazy, theyâre efficient
Weâre so used to convenience that weâve forgotten our world is designed for it, and we donât need to get caught up in productivity politics because adaptation is okay! If someone has an automatic can opener or a chair lift or they get their groceries delivered, that doesnât make them less of a person. It makes them more, it makes them work smarter not harder.
The next time I see a person complaining about a disabled person doing something convenient or accessible, I am going to ask them if they use a washing machine or a washboard, a shower or a communal tub, a grocery store or a farmâŚ
Please please PLEASE
NEWS ARTICLES ARE NOT MEDICAL RESEARCH
MEDICAL JOURNALS ARE MEDICAL RESEARCH
IF ITâS NOT A STUDY, DONâT GIVE IT TO ME AS FACT
IF ITâS NOT A TRIAL GO AWAY
I swear the next time I ask someone to provide me with genuine medical information to support a claim and they give me a New York Times article, Iâm gonna blow and not in a fun way
Edit: videos from a doctor on social media are ALSO ⨠not medical research ⨠they are usually selling something whether it be a podcast, book, course, or supplement
There are some days that I feel like giving up completely. Just not working on my health, not making appointments, not trying to decide what to try, not worrying about my disability applications. Just laying in this bed ridden life. But just existing is surviving. And I try to remember - I can stand it if I can stand it for 10 seconds. And the next 10 after that. And the next 10 after that. Then I'll tread water and survive.
Me, laying in my bed anxious because I need to call my cardiologistâs office
I posted this in a community but I feel like itâs important to do here:
GROWING PAINS ARE NOT A THING.
Your body does not hurt to GROW.
That is a myth that we tell children because they keep wining about pain. âItâs okay, thatâs your body growing. Just go back to sleep.â IT DOESNâT HURT TO GROW.
If youâre still not with me. Generally, when we refer to children as having âgrowing painsâ itâs usually ages 3-12. And what weâre really talking about is strain on the muscles and bones after overuse.
Children are incredibly active! And while growing pains are a great way to excuse that, why are we afraid to say they just played too hard that day? Theyâre dealing with muscle fatigue. Soreness. Their bodies are new, so it takes a while to adjust to using them so much.
If you are over 12 years old (and you better be, on this app) then you do not experience âgrowing pains.â You experience pain.
Do not let anyone gaslight you about this.
If you donât experience the pain that I do every day, you donât get to judge me.
Not my food habits.
Not my hygiene.
Not my productivity.
Not the clothes I wear.
Not my outlook on life.
Not my goals.
Not my medications.
Not my weight.
Not your body!

A lot of leftist accounts are suspiciously quiet on the section 504 lawsuit, proposed medicaid cuts, and the "make America healthy again" executive order.
I know other leftists are not the enemy but if we don't have able bodied allies and general population support, there's no hope of pushing back against these ableist policies. These big accounts ignoring a massive minority at risk is scary. The current admin is the problem but there's no hope of a solution without allyship.
We need visibility. We need allies.
When we are too tired to fight, please fight for us. I donât have the energy required to do what needs to be done, and I hope to gods that someone does
I did labs and radiology today. I am stumbling and dizzy and my joints do in fact ache today. But today my providers were kind to me.
I never know what to expect when I go to get a procedure done or get checked out in the ER. I have had uncomfortable to traumatic experiences especially with lab work and iv placement.
People donât understand that while I might seem like a regular adult who can handle myself just fine, I also have fibromyalgia which makes everything so much more painful. You donât have to squeeze my arm to death to palpate a vein. I can feel my veins just fine with light pressure. Itâs not hard.
The lab nurse today did something no one has ever done when taking my labs. She pulled my t-shirt sleeve down so when she tied the band around my arm, it didnât pull my skin. I almost cried. Iâve never been so grateful to a nurse before, and what she did was so simple.
My radiology intake was okay, but the rad tech was seriously amazing. She knew exactly what she was doing and was patient with me, acknowledging my pain and making notes in my chart about it. I was blessed today.
And not every day is like that. And I just need nurses to know, because usually it is unfortunately in my case, that it doesnât hurt to be gentle or take your time. And itâs okay to joke and smile with the patient. We need that.
I know how much nurses are mistreated, including by patients. But I am the most grateful and graceful patient in all cases, even in cases when Iâm being tortured. And dirty looks and sarcastic remarks really donât help my health journey.
Iâm grateful for my people today. I felt safe today.
Join me for some Palia today at 5:30 pm central time! This is my official stream schedule, so feel free to follow now and join me for a later stream. đĽ°
The most powerful no-code forms & workflows
Folks, I donât try to sell ANYTHING to anybody, but this is for the chronically ill folks with limited energy who are trying their best to pace themselves and failing.
I have Hashimotoâs, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and chronic migraine. I struggle daily to limit the use of my energy and not overextend myself. I was running out of options and constantly running myself into the ground, having a really bad day and then crashing hard for 3 days or more.
If youâre finding that you struggle with this too, and you think tracking your heart rate and daily symptom severity could help, I highly recommend Visible.
It uses a Polar armband to continuously track your heart rate, and the 2.0 band now has a 5 day battery life, making it capable of sleep tracking. I currently have the 1.0 version, but Iâm hoping to switch soon.
If heart rate variability, automatic âspoon trackingâ (the app calls them pace points) and real-time medical data you can download and share with your healthcare team seem like good tools for you, then click on the link to explore!
Transparency: if you decide to purchase a membership, please know I receive $20 off the 2.0 armband, and so do you. I donât receive any money, just a discount on the new band. đ
And yes, this membership is not financially feasible for a lot of disabled people, especially those on social security benefits. They are working on getting the product to be available through insurance or FSA, but to do that, they need folks to support their research. Thatâs why Iâm enrolled in clinical studies through the app.
Please let me know if you have any questions! This device has seriously changed my life, and I wouldnât blindly recommend it to my community if I didnât seriously believe that.
