Insomnia in the winter: oh damn, i didn’t sleep at all and now the clock says it’s morning

Insomnia in the spring: oh damn, I didn’t sleep at all and now the birds say it’s morning

standing up and blacking out for a few seconds is just transitioning from a cutscene to the actual gameplay

Wtf am I being played by such a fucking noob... like what sad fuck keeps ramming their character into walls all the god damn time

‘Krakatoa, a 75-pound, 7.5-foot long Komodo Dragon, celebrates his eighth birthday with fellow eight-year-olds from R.B. Hunt Elementary School at his enclosure at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park in St. Augustine, Fla. The children sang Happy Birthday to the large lizard as he was presented with a meat cake topped with mice.’

with other eight year olds

I’ve reblogged this picture before, and it never hit me up until this…

But someone walked into work that morning, clocked in, and was told it was their job to go put the birthday hat on the Komodo Dragon.

Ok but I solidly love that they probably made a meat cake then went “oh no, nothing hunts meat cake in the wild! what if he doesn’t want to eat our meat cake?!? Meat cake doesn’t automatically look apatazing to lizards! Whatever shall we do?”

And the solution that totally worked was just “hey let’s drape some dead mice over it, happy birthday buddy!”

I’m here, I’m queer, and my joint pain is moderate to severe

[amplifiedpain]

let’s play a game called is this normal or should i be concerned

[fiercelysweet]

Lol, return of the shooting pains in my stomach, is it fine or do I go to the ER?

[garlicbulb]

when able people ask you to rate your pain are you supposed to do it on a Healthy Person Pain scale or a Sick Person Pain scale?

[softshirringsound]

“Sick Person Pain Scale Filtered Through A Gauge On How Shitty This Able Person May React” or the SPPSFTAGOHSTAPMR Scale, for short.

[fiercelysweet]

Whenever possible I give them my pain scale rating compared to a photo of a pain scale with descriptions of impacts at each level (I carry copies with me next to a list of my medications and I always have a favourite saved on my phone). I try to always pick the most dramatic looking pain scale —like one that I found that compared a 10 to the pain of imminent death. Then I say “Just so we’re on the same page, on this particular scale I am a 7, which means my concentration is seriously impaired and I am using lots of energy to keep from groaning out loud from my pain” (or whatever your scale says).

Then if they still don’t want to believe me I usually try “that’s compared to my worst pain ever, a 9 (I always say my worst pain is a 9 even if it understates by a lot) where my vison went gray and my ears were ringing for minutes before I blacked out alone in the hallway of a public building from the pain”. Use any personal and extreme example of pain here, throw in 1 or 2 details that strike people as genuinely concerning and signs of “wow, weak sick person”.

Try doing an image search on “pain scale for kids” or “activity tolerance scale” for a whole variety of drawings to choose from. For the more general descriptions try to prepare an example, like “8, interferes with basic needs and today I was in so much pain I didn’t eat so that I could avoid sitting or standing up”. It also helps for doctors to see a scale where say a 5 isn’t a dramatic pain, where it might say a 3 is painful but tolerable and a 5 is distressing. That way they have a direct comparison in front of them that says ‘hey remember that low level pain is real and this is NOT it’.

My experience has been that if you look capable or sound incapable of caring for yourself doctors will not take you seriously. So I always come prepared with real and recent examples that highlight me at my sickest and weakest then I use all my energy to say those examples firmly. That way you seem sick (just like you are !!) but also like you know what you’re talking about which makes some doctors listen to you a little bit better.

What if the reason fibro sufferers hurt so bad is because we are actually connected (physically) to knights in another realm and our flares are just us battling dragons

[becausefuckfibro]

Whatever fibro meds you’re on, deal me in.

[fiercelysweet]

So some data shows that fibro patients literally have more nerve endings and/or some weird nerve endings (especially in areas of worst pain or in the hands and feet) —and I’m now convinced that the pain messages sent by my extra neutrons are entangled with those from the body of a Knight with the medieval equivalent of a “do it for the vine” aproach to attacking shit

[fiercelysweet]

How do you convince your bone snake to lie straight?

The fact that “My health is no one else’s business” is heavily considered a controversial statement will never cease to baffle me. Disabled people are not here for your entertainment simply because some of us have visible symptoms, or some symptoms that must be discussed for the sake of accessibility. If I don’t want to disclose information about my health that shouldn’t be seen as rude. Asking highly personal and inappropriate questions and not taking no for an answer, however, SHOULD be.

Sometimes 3 am is not when you wanted to lose your faith in humanity all over again

[spooniestrong]

I will not back down from this stance: chronic pain patients deserve pain relief.

Blockin’ some terfs at 2:50 AM. This is how you blog people
