a glimmer of hope ~

sooooooo...I finally got through on 211 yesterday, and it's like unlocking a potentially magic door. like multiple resources to get me help and housing (no time frame yet) have opened up, including the hope of getting a Case Manager to get me through the many hoops & obstacles of the System. having congestive heart failure and suffering the dangerous physical results of sleeping in my car seemed to get the worker I spoke to galvanized (cos yeah, from the knees down my calves and feet are freaking and painfully swollen to TWICE their normal size right now). today, I await a callback interview from them between 9am - 3pm. fingers fully crossed. it's been ages since I felt this much hope.

my brother sent enough to get me a room for the night so I can start to elevate my legs & relieve the edema, but if anyone would care to chip in to help me extend that a bit:

my ko-fi

thank you, thank you, thank you🙏🙏

After three nights in my car, my feet, ankles, and calves are painfully swollen. The skin so taut that I wonder if piercing it with a needle will let the fluid out (yes, I know it won't). My cardiologist is going to read me the riot act on Wednesday, but I'll be frank and tell him why they're this bad.

I haven’t written much about my growing old and the illnesses I’ve encountered in the past couple of years. Suffice it to say it’s been challenging, as well as revealing. Facing one’s mortality head on is both fascinating and, at times, frightening. Not that I’m afraid of death, just a little apprehensive about the process of dying.

So I learned something about my AFib recently, turns out it’s pretty significantly linked to my cycle.

Tw: heart condition, menstruation.

Over the past two years I have noticed a stark increase in the amount of palpitations and little afib runs that I get. At first I just thought it was stress, I’ve been doing a degree and that comes with a pretty steady increase in anxiety-like symptoms.

Recently, I was reading more about afib and its triggers (maybe in the middle of the night during some pretty bad palpitations - maybe not) and while there is fairly substantial evidence that stress has a significant impact on frequency and severity of any heart-related tomfoolery, I’ve come to find that there’s also reason to believe that hormonal cycles (particularly menstruation) can also be a cause (1, 2, 3).

So I started keeping tabs on it, noticing the palpitations and considering where I am in my cycle, and - wouldn’t you know - it’s like clockwork. In fact, just about all of my afib episodes and symptoms during the last 18 months have happened in and around the end of my luteal phase and settle down again once my period stops.

I’m just surprised at how often I re-realise that hormones playing well together are so pivotal to my well-being. Maybe one day it’ll sink in, but for today it’s a new discovery all over again.
