Realize that whatever you think yourself to be is just a stream of events; that while all happens, comes and goes, you alone are, the changeless among the changeful, the self-evident among the inferred. Separate the observed from the observer and abandon false identifications.

The number one best tip I have for anyone dealing with chronic illness is to make your health binder.

I’m waiting in the lobby at urgent care, and I swear, even when the intake nurses see it, they treat me so differently.

In my binder I have all my current prescriptions, a log of my hospital visits, and treatments. I also have the names of my doctors and specialists and my blood work. Being able to reference an official looking thing has really seemed to help from my concerns being dismissed.

I no longer feel like I get dismissed as drug-seeking. It feels easier to get the medications I know work, or talk through other treatment plans that are informed by my history.

It’s such a gift not to have to explain everything when I am in the middle of a debilitating migraine. /End ID

I saw this post fairly soon before my most recent appointment with a new-to-me health care provider, so I made me a Google doc and brought my tablet to the appointment, and holy shit the difference is night and day

A tip with your health binder, get a few packs of clip in card sleeves. Put all of your appointment cards in them.

Also just get those clear sheets you can slide papers in. It'll be easy to deal with lab and xray requisitions without them flying everywhere

I've posted about this before but it deserves mentioning again: If your condition has flares/episodes/what have you that are particularly debilitating, keep a calendar record of every single one in your binder, especially if they would cause and/or have caused you to miss work or be sent home early. The reaction changes a *lot* when you have proof of how much of your life is being ruined.

“Like an alchemist who creates gold from base metals, we seek to extract the marvelous from these discarded objects that are marked by the attrition of time. And incidentally, it is this “ignoble” matter that the anonymous alchemist quoted by Eugène Canseliet expressed as “Light arising from itself out of the darkness.””

The weird thing about having exes is the realization that another person is just roaming around somewhere in the world who’s seen you naked hundreds of times; they know your fears, your hopes, your darkest secrets. And then one day they’re just gone, as if what you shared never happened. Weird.
