Short of Breath 8″ x 10″ Ink, gouache, color pencil on paper 2020
Does anyone suffer from shortness of breath every day that the doctors say is from anxiety? I just find it so hard to believe that.
I'm admitted in the hospital again. I was rushed in Saturday night, because of trouble breathing, tachycardia and tachypnoe. Sunday I've had a CT scan, and it came back with the news that I have multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Doctors don't know how this could happen, because I'm on blood thinners and my INR was in range. Also my potassium levels were dangerously low.. so now I'm on even more blood thinners, iv potassium and oxygen. Also I'm being monitored 24/7 because my heart rate was so high and my potassium low. I'm feeling devastated knowing I can get blood clots and PE even when using blood thinners.. it makes my anxious. --------------------------------------------------- #pulmonaryembolism #justspooniethings #hospitallife #chronicillness #invisibleillness #intracranialhypertension #chronichope #totiredtofunction #totiredtosleep #thrombosis #thrombosisawareness #keeplifeflowing #spoonielife #butyoudontlooksick #spoonie #sinusthrombosis #sickandtiredofbeingsickandtired #sickbutstrong #headachefromhell #shortofbreath (bij Isala Ziekenhuis Zwolle)
A common reason given for mask wearing exemptions was not being able to breathe properly with a mask on (RACGP, 2021)

Update
Hey guys, Cross Stitch here with a little update! My drawing is getting better but my Tumblr is doing a weird thing where it won’t let me upload pictures and asks at the same time. I dunno, maybe I’m doing it wrong. Anyways, I’ve gotten much better at drawing although I’m pretty sure by BEN drawings will still suck. Cause Life is like that. Now for something a bit more serious. It’s probably nothing but it’s been happening for a few days and I want some opinions on it. So every morning and evening, I find myself in a spot where I randomly lose all the air in my lungs and then it’s hard to start breathing again. My mother said it’s probably mild panic attacks, and I can see why she thought that on the first day since I was startled awake. Anyways, my asks are always open but I’ll be writing your asks on my drawings. Most likely won’t be digitalizing them but who knows. My tablet charger is still broken so bear with me if I do digitalize and it sucks. I’m using my mouse to trace over paper drawings.
Every single day is a fight and I'm so tired of fighting. I just want to be normal and work again, finish nursing school and be able to do the things I love. I can't handle this never ending pain anymore, and after my bilateral pulmonary embolisms I have even more pain than I already had. Every breath I take is hurting me and the headaches are getting worse. I feel like my pressure is so high again.. but have to wait until June 20 until they do another pressure reading. On the positive note: I've had an amazing weekend at camp. I volunteered at a children's camp for children who are fighting cancer and I loved doing it. It feels so good to entertain those kids and make them forget about everything for awhile and just have fun and be crazy. Didn't get much sleep, so I'm exhausted.. But it was some much needed positive energy after my PE and drain revision that doesn't seem to help yet. ------------------------------- #chronicillness #invisibleillness #shortofbreath #pulmonaryembolism #ithurtssobad #ithurtstobreathe #spoonielife #chronichope #chronicheadache #chronicfatigue #chronicpain #childhoodcancersurvivor #childhoodcancer #painsomnia #paingoaway #intracranialhypertension #intracranialpressure #pseudotumorcerebri #portacath #spoonie #shuntproblems #shuntrevision #shuntlife #cancercamp #childhoodcancerawareness #lowphosphate #lowpotassium #hypokalemiasucks #kidneyproblems #kidneyfailure
