I was having so much fun. I wish I could go out with friends and have dinner without getting so sick that I ruin the mood of the night and have to go back to the hotel and lay down.

I wish I had the ability
to do what?
Normie: *asks about my illnesses and disability*
Me: *gives a basic rundown paragraph*
Normie: âwowâ
..... what a reply
Real conversation between me and my GI doctor. Luckily my PCP took me seriously.
god, kirk people are dead can u pls stop flirting now đ„Ž
Doctor: âif you get 50% pain relief from this anti inflammatory med, Iâll up the doseâ
One month later
Me: âit didnât help at allâ
Doctor: âhmmm. Letâs up the dose.â
Me: âbut it didnât helpâ
Doctor: âLets add a topical cream.â
Me: đđđ âkâ but itâs not muscle pain, itâs impingement from dysplasia.â
Doctor: âHm, Try it anyway.â
Just because you âfunctionâ doesnât mean you donât deserve help.
Me: âI donât feel goodâ
Mom: âif youâre gonna pass out, do it in front of witnesses so they can call me and Iâll come get you.â

That chronic illness life though.
Discover Livia, the off switch for menstrual pain. Get more information here
Omg I need this!!!!!
This is just a compact TENS unit. You can get decent, compact, TENS units on Amazon much cheaper than theyâre asking here. Sure it might not be cute, but itâs cheap and honestly the cute factor is just an excuse to slap the pink tax on.
It is so important to me that you guys know this is just a TENS unit. Donât go paying twice or three times the amount just because its little blue and has purple flowers. Like you can slap some flowers on your electrode pads if you need to.Â
^important
Yes, this is practically a TENS unit; and despite these TENS unit being around for many years now, many still donât know about them and their uses/benefits!Â
They are not only great for menstrual cramps, they are also great for dealing with chronic pain, stress, muscle soreness/aches, etc! You should be able to find a TENS unit at your local pharmacy for around a price mark of $30, or even online for 20 or so dollars on amazon :~)Â
Lovelies, per their own page, itâs going to retail at $149 USD when it comes out in October 2016.
A thirty second Google search found a generic TENS Unit at CVS pharmacy for⊠Dun da dun! $30 USD. Available *gasp* now.
Please, for the love of little green monkeys, do not pay 5x market value for the pink tax when youâre not even going to be looking at the thing when itâs in use!
exposed!
i love tumblr
I never knew this, this will help so much omg
Does this work for ovary cyst pain?
Speaking as someone with PCOS who uses my TENS unit for exactly that kind of pain, yes indeedy-doo!
Also theyâre available at Walmart too. Pharmacy section, either with the Tylenol and Advil or by the braces and supports.
PSA now I will go look for this, why didnât my doctor tell me
I got mine for $20 and its a miracle for all kinds of pain. I use it for my chronic back pain.
Spoonie problems
exactly.
YES.
I remember lying in a hospital bed the first time I hurt my back badly, in tears, waiting for my MRI slides to come back, and saying to my dad, âBut what if they donât find anything?â I was only 20, but I already understood something fundamental about our system: it is ready, willing, and primed to disbelieve people who say they hurt or feel wrong. It wasnât like those TV shows where the doctors vowed to get to the bottom of whatever obscure disease or ailment was causing so much pain and hurt; it was âwe already hold you under the highest suspicion for daring to be young and in pain, and weâre going to assume youâre full of shit until there is indisputable evidence to the contrary, but we are not going to go out of our way to find that evidence because your insurance will only cover the most basic of tests, so your choices are continue to suffer or shoulder the crippling medical expense of the extra tests yourself.âÂ
When the surgeon came in and gave me his speech about having assumed there was a mix-up in the slides because there was âno wayâ a back as bad on film as mine belonged to someone my age, I was terrified, sure, but I was also relieved, because ten minutes prior to that, the nurses had brought in a PCA morphine pump. Prior to that, the on-call doctor assigned to my case had refused to give me anything for pain, condemning me (without even seeing me) on the grounds of my youth and my complaint, even though my primary doctor had direct-admitted me for the express purpose of pain control. When they rolled that pump in, the only thing they said was, âWe got your MRI slides. Theyâve referred you to the surgeon. Heâll be in shortly.âÂ
I didnât know what was wrong, but I knew something had to be. Theyâd found something. Which, no, wasnât good, but it meant 1) I was finally, finally getting pain relief, and 2) they would start taking me seriously and work to figure out what was wrong.
No, I donât want to have chronic back pain. No, it hasnât been fun, or exciting, or made me feel âspecialâ to be disabled. Mostly it sucks that I canât do the things I want to do.Â
But what sucks worse, and what happens to so many people in chronic pain and illness, is the cause of their pain and illness isnât immediately obvious, so theyâre told theyâre imagining it. Theyâre told itâs all in their heads, because the âtests are normal.â It gets to the point where you start to question your own sanity. You start to disbelieve the signs of your own body. You start to wonder if maybe theyâre right, and you ARE just imagining it, even when youâre doubled over in pain, weeping and gasping because it hurts so much and you just want to know why.Â
So yeah. Fuck this idea of âwe want to be sick.â We donât want to be sick; we are sick and we want to know why and what to do about it.
Itâs literally like if your house is flooding, so you call a plumber, and they come to your house, see all the flooding and all the damage the water is doing to your house, but when they check all the pipes - all the pipes are fine. There are no leaks anywhere.
So even though thereâs water everywhere and itâs getting in your way of living your life, doing permanent damage to your house - thereâs no broken or damaged pipes. So hey. The plumber canât help you. Sorry.
Try mopping it up.
I am NOT obligated to tell you why I'm using a cane.
And you do NOT have the right to get mad at me when I choose not to answer you.
Thanks. Carry on.
Ah nothing gets me fired up like inaccurately recorded symptoms of a contrast injection in my medical history.
Get it right or umbrella term that shit with âshe got sickâ but donât make up a common symptom of reactions and slap it on there. I denied feeling nauseous during my reaction.
What I DID feel was dizzy, cold (left side of my body), weak. My hands and legs both visibly shook. I got an instant headache that lasted 24 hours and my fingers went purple. I had cognitively delayed speech, and difficulty focusing my vision.ïżŒ
But yaâ letâs just say she got nauseous, because no big deal, right?
