Caught Diabetes From Being Held By Nick Jonas! @typeonediabuddies - Tumblr Blog

[image: edit of the "myth of 'consensual sex' meme. the title has been edited to say "the myth of 'consensual' medicine" and the couple (both of whom say "I consent") is labeled as "doctor" and "patient." Jesus, labeled "insurance," butts in to say "I don't!" the bottom caption reads "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"]

Your god comes and he is ordinary and terrible. He confers with the doctors at your kitchen table and tells you to eat your clots, round as peas. You want dessert. You want to deceive him, but he, like you, has eyes, and uses them.

It’s not “encouraging” that “people with 4+ comorbidities” are most of the people who die with Covid.

People saying it’s “encouraging” that most deaths are people with 4 or more comorbidities are trying to imply that only disabled people are going to die.

And I’m glad a lot of you are on board with the fact that it’s fucking evil to cheer for the idea that vulnerable people will be most affected.

It’s also just not true.

You as a healthy abled person can easily have 4+ of these comorbidities.

The CDC’s list of “comorbidities” (not to be confused with “underlying conditions”, they’re different) is 152 pages long and includes things like:

lactose intolerance

marijuana use

mild depressive episode

pollen allergy

“obesity”

vaginal/vulval yeast infection

autism/”childhood autism”/Asperger’s

“short stature not otherwise classified”

migraines, also, headache (they’re 2 different ones)

insomnia

tinnitis

gerd (a common type of acid reflux)

constipation

acne

“pain in joint”

“pain in limb”

“low back pain”

UTI

heavy periods

cough

hiccough

sneezing

urinary incontinence or retention

eating “too much” or too little

broken bones

medication overdoses

drug “of addictive potential” in bloodstream

traffic accident

fall

“contact with hot tap water”

and just… basically anything medical or medicalized that a person can have.

Ever told a doctor literally anything about your body? You probably have four or more of these.

Anything in your chart is a comorbidity, even your lactose intolerance or your acne.

While some conditions on the list might mean you’re more likely to get severely ill, many of them really don’t. They aren’t meant to - that’s not what the list IS.

It’s just a list of conditions that were in a patient’s chart when they died.

The idea that “people with 4+ comorbidities are 75% of deaths” means “most people are safe” is complete and utter nonsense.

A lot of people are going to die in the next few months, and the official story is that they were going to die anyways because they were already just so sick before covid! so YOU shouldn’t try to be careful or agitate for better covid protection! because YOU aren’t at risk! (unless you’re one of those disableds we’ve already written off.)

It’s fucking bullshit, and it’s eugenicist bullshit trying to train you to see disabled lives as unworthy of protection. Don’t fall for it.

The list is here btw: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/health_policy/covid19-comorbidity-expanded-12092020-508.pdf I didn’t source it in the post because Tumblr hides posts with links from tags, but it’s also not hard to find.

chronicleness

Every single time I feel sick or exhausted or irritable or suddenly sad or brain fogged or anything NEVER does it occur to me that my blood sugars could be involved. Sixteen years of being diabetic and NOT ONCE do I consistently remember that out of range sugars have physical and emotional effects. Instead I leap immediately to “what new devil is this”

Cut out a little piece of felt so it looks like my old diabetic bear has a cgm! I don’t know how well it’ll stay on since I used craft glue, but I think it’s cute
