Okay so, I hate getting my blood taken.
Not cause Im scared of needles (which is valid) but because I have a gremlin brain that’s all like it’s MY blood and it belongs to ME!
Anyway I just found out I have polycythaemia and I have to get a whole bag of blood taken out of me every month, potentially for forever.
My little gremlin brain is extremely unhappy at this but also like? What the fuck? Bodies can just produce too much blood?
Mine specifically can? Of all my diagnoses, this one just felt especially rude lol.
#vent#actually disabled#actually autistic#Venesection#polycythaemia#sleeps says stuff#like the other diagnoses are whatever#sure they cause their own issues but I could kinda work out i had them based on symptoms and what not#aside from the hole in my heart#it fixed but was also weird#but this one just feels so personally designed to just be annoying to me specifically?#like it makes all my other disabilities worse#negates my migraine treatments#AND the way to treat it is by having heaps of blood taken out of me every month?#oh and its not even caused by my oestrogen being too high cause of my testosterone injections#as the doc who does my tshots saidmy oestrogen is totally normal#so now i also have to look into whats causing it to make sure it isnt cancer???#AND I ONLY JUST WENT BACK TO UNI#Im like really feeling the overwhelm this week lol#well after this trimester ill just have to take another break from uni to adjust to yet another new thing lol
