A friendly reminder to my chronically ill buddies: READ YOUR RX INSERTS!

I know you’ve been taking that Rx for years but every time you get a new medication or are having weird symptoms please look over your Rx inserts. It’s so easy to forget super vital pieces of information about a medication after you’ve been taking it. Like maybe your new symptoms are on the side effects list. Maybe you shouldn’t be taking that medication with food afterall. Maybe you are supposed to be monitoring certain blood tests regularly.

I know you’ve got a lot going on and brain fog on top of it but no body is going to look out for these things except for you 🫶

Day One

This is a hard picture for me to look at, and even harder to post. This is 275 lbs.

 For the longest time, I didn’t think it had gotten that bad. I was a little heavy, sure. I’d look at the number on the scale and think “this is only temporary”. I’d watch an episode of The Simpsons and Homer would get on the scale and the joke would be such a HIGH number and I’d think... well I weigh more than that, why is that funny?

I get winded walking around my apartment now. When did that happen? I look at a set of stairs and wince because I know how hard and fast my heart is going to be beating once I get to the top - and it scares me.

It’s time to make a change. I refuse to live like this anymore. I don’t recognize this person. I am tired of being tired. Everyone says that! I understand why.

I’m probably going to beat myself up for not being perfect, but my therapist says that as long as I do my BEST every day - whatever that means for me - then it counts. I’m going to try to work on that.

Thanks for letting me post this journey on the internet. I feel like if it’s out there, I’m not doing it on my own.

Goals:

Close my Apple Watch rings every day. 700/30/12

Monitor calorie intake (this is only because right now I struggle with recognizing how much I am actually eating! I hope that this will change because it’s tedious and I hate it)

Drink 2 Liters of water/day

Day 1 Update: We did that shit!

[mandana-the-service-pup]

I was kinda bummed yesterday when my HR & BP got crazy again but last night we received the laser bed pad and my HR hasn’t gone above 114 bpm all day. There might be hope still. I won’t know for sure until I use it more but I’ll keep posting updates.

My heart rate was worse today. It got up to 145 bpm just playing with Mandana. I drank more water than usual yesterday & I haven’t used the laser therapy in a while. Those are the only changes. I’m going to start using the laser every day and hope it goes back down. If it doesn’t then it’s probably just from coming off Slynd (in which case maybe an endocrinologist could try to help. Not very hopeful that would work out though)

It’s a little disheartening but I knew this would be the most likely outcome 🫤
