Bwoop bwoop health talk warning

I recently got some activity on my posts in the Achalasia tag, and re-reading my old posts about it was sort of surreal. Between being on Omeprazole, which more or less makes my symptoms non-existent, and being diagnosed with Pemphigus, which I'm still trying to work out the medication for so my symptoms are still affecting my daily life, I kind of forgot about even having Achalasia?

Sorry, people who followed me hoping for posts about life with Achalasia, especially those with worse cases who needed surgery and whose lives are still  controlled by it. But hey, fun fact: my Pemphigus symptoms ALSO affect my ability to eat and swallow, so there's some overlap in the experience!

Update: Turns out the Pemphigus tag has a lot of spammy posts from herbal drug companies, as well as some very unsettling photos. I am appreciating the fact that my lesions are entirely internal, which is not the case for many people. Weight gain and breakouts from my medication have taken enough of a toll on my self-esteem and confidence as it is >_<

Sometimes it feels weird to talk about health stuff online, because “nobody wants to hear that,” but people being willing to talk about this stuff has made me feel less alone AND shown me that even though things seem bleak, there are people who have it worse.

Day One

It’s Monday, I’m in the office in Santa Monica and it’s a beautiful day outside. 

I’m a month into my new job and everything seems good so far. However part of my training requires me to present to a group of my peers on a regular basis. I stand in front of them and do a “whiteboard” presentation. What would have been a piece of cake for me over 15 years ago is now a problem. My steroids are ensuring that I go into the presentation in an overly stressed and anxious state and its playing havoc with my ability to present well. 

It’s things like this that make the steroids a problem. Where in the past I would have been calm and confident, I now come across as nervous and erratic. I can’t turn around and say, “sorry lads its the medication I’m on”, but by the same token I kind of feel that I am in some way “handicapped”, but in a way that the workplace and legislation does not recognize. I have to perform, despite my problems, but I cannot declare my problems to my team in case they decide I’m not worth having on the team. In addition, if I can’t present well, I don’t think I should be on the team :) Nevertheless, like many people with invisible conditions, you have to perform well, but nobody ever knows or recognises the extra efforts you have to go to.

I need to get off these steroids.
