On that note. Neverever do “one last time seeing each other” with a dangerous ex, it will not go well, especially if you aren’t in public with at least one other person with you. If an abusive man wants to see you one last time in private he is hoping it’s the last time anyone will see you

#misogynistic violence tw #I. don’t mean tbis ina lecturing way i mean it in an urgent and caring way #it is so scary how abusive men will manipulate women into walking into that

separating dental insurance from normal medical coverage and making it fucking impossible to navigate is evil, actually

#i don't have a dentist rn because i have switched insurance 3 times in 3 years #and i just got my new insurance in january and i never got a fucking insurance card #anyway this tooth issue from a couple years ago came back in force last week #and so I'm trying to find someone to look at it but most places don't take emergency patients if you haven't been there before #half the dentists in my area are known for telling people they have 30 cavities so i do NOT want to walk in with an actual problem #and there's a dental urgent care but they don't say what insurance they take and my insurance phone tree is not telling me what is fucking #covered #jesus fucking christ #and I don't know if I'm looking at a couple hundred or ten thousand dollars here #i think this tooth is going to have to go eventually but i don't know if it has to go NOW #screaming #maybe i just do not eat any hot or cold food for the next three months???? #op

man idk if this is gonna work. i can live fine with stable albeit neurotic alcoholics, but living with a v emotional one is, uh, how you say, triggering

#personal #yeah they’re sober but they clearly went on a bender the night before #i came home from work to them cleaning up blood from where they had cut their hand really bad on a can #i had to insist on letting me take them to an urgent care #they were tearful and apologetic the entire time… #then i had to leave them bc i had a tax appointment #i made sure to cancel plans with other friends to make sure they weren’t alone #then they didn’t respond to my texts all night #and my traumatized ass is like… did they kill themself? are they killing themself rn? #should i knock? what if me choosing to give them privacy just means they kill themself uninterrupted? #they were fine (in the bathroom this morning) #but this morning i walked out smelling gas because the stove was slightly on #cue panicked opening of windows and doors #they come out of the bathroom to apologize for last night and i’m like mid-panic you don’t smell the gas?! #n e wayz only 6 months with them #as long as they continue to be sober it should be fine. right? right. #🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hey y'all! Weird question for you, because this is one of those things where I know I am considered an outlier but idk how much of an outlier: What do you (or your doctors) consider tachycardia/high heart rate? I think I've heard a resting heartrate of over 100 is considered tachycardia, but what level is like "this level happens when people without heart/circulatory issues get sick sometimes" and what level is like "don't know what, but something isn't working right"

I have Weird, Least Dangerous Tachycardia (aka idiopathic but not inappropriate* tachycardia, completely without arrhythmias) so idk where those thresholds are for more, uh, typical tachycardia? To be clear, I am not having tachycardia issues at the moment and am not looking for medical advice, just curious what is considered tachycardia to other people

*translating from doctor speak, basically it's appropriate because it's in response to low blood pressure (so it's not an inappropriate/wrong response), but it's idiopathic because they don't know why I have such low blood pressure. The without arrhythmias thing means that, even when going faster than it should, my heart has never had a beat out of rhythm (which is good! but weird!)

#the person behind the yarn #tj asks weird questions #medical mention #tachycardia mention #heart issues mention #I know a resting heart rate of 140 is high enough to set off alarms on the blood pressure machine #at the triage/intake station at the cardiologist #and a resting heart rate of 140 also means you get a room immediately and are put in a wheelchair and not allowed to walk #when you're at an urgent care #but like...100ish at urgent care and they just say 'have you considered you might have anxiety?' #so I'm guessing the threshold is somewhere between those two numbers #but one of my relatives has a different heart issue and considers anything less than 180 #not a bad flareup of tachycardia

random question ill pose to all of you bc im like freaked out. i think i have a pinched spine nerve right now? i've got a bit of lower back pain. (which feels like it's spreading, new development) and like. i've got pins and needles touch occasionally through my body, as well as a sense of touch that's like.... it takes a sec for me to notice it, i guess? i used to be able to figure out a position to sleep that would make it better but now it's getting unmanageable. just curious if anybody's dealt with something like that and what you did

#im.. gonna try to see if i can go to urgent care tomorrow. and schedule doctors appointments after that if necessary. #not thrilled bc i dont have a car and it's a hassle to get there and i think walking for a while certainly makes it a lot worse. #also not thrilled because of how frequently ive HAD to go to urgent care lately :( :( #ive tried various stretching techniques that were suggested... none really seem to give relief

Song of the Day: February 23

“Inkpot Gods” by The Amazing Devil

#song of the day #'if I don't make it back from where I've gone / just know I loved you all along' #I'm setting up my queue for a more proper recommendation tomorrow but I've been rereading 'shoulder the sky' by Night_Fury #the whole series draws from various Amazing Devil lines for titles and such #'back then I was dauntless' is my favorite reworking of the Melidaan arc I've ever seen absolutely anywhere #and the title is a line from my favorite Amazing Devil song 'The Calling' but 'Inkpot Gods' is used to stunning effect in-story #and the beautiful refrain from the end of the song is playing in my head now as I keep going into the series #today was a deeply unpleasant day: the inevitable finally happened and Duncan cut himself doing his mudlarking #we'd been trying to schedule a preventative tetanus shot but several times we've gone in for the properly scheduled shot #and found out that they didn't actually have one in stock. unspeakably frustrating #and today we ran out of time for a preventative one. I woke up #(actually I woke up for work as he was going out for his walk but I got a migraine halfway through my morning meeting--no good-- #and took the rest of the day off--turns out to have been a very good thing--and went back to sleep. so I woke up the second time) #to Duncan coming back from his walk with a sliced finger and the grody plastic-and-tin swan that had done the slicing #(picture of said swan under the cut because why not. it does look neat. can't see the sharp edge in the pic though it's underneath) #and so then we called the pharmacy and got the same automated 'of course you can have a tetanus shot' as ever so we made an appointment #and we got there and they did actually have a shot in stock this time! except that they weren't able to administer it #because now he's post-exposure that's a different shot and they aren't allowed. so we had to go to the urgent care instead #all told we spent about four hours out of the house on this mission but Duncan did get his shot and some bonus antibiotic goo for the cut #and it was worth it but also bleeeeeeegh it was miserable. which is where my recommendations do come in #when I tell y'all that I spent today reading Night_Fury's fics and also looking at valiants' CoD art and it saved me #whooo I mean it. being simultaneously stressed + bored is the nightmare state for me and instead I had wonderful things in my phone

[bruisedconscience]

y’all

i had to leave work early for severe pain.

turns out: i got free sand/pebbles in my kidneys!!!!

#[ they’re small thank FÚCK and the medicine to numb those suckers is working GREAT ] #[ but holy SHIT i was incapacitated. I walked so fucking much and used all my adrenaline #getting to places my bitch ass phone said was quick care urgent care centers and they were NOT ] #[ they got me back into the er & i was a howling mess until their shit kicked in. #im allergic to the good stuff but their iv ibuprofen was stellar ] #[ i cannot believe this is happening to mE i am GONNA BE FINE but like WHY ME ALWAYS ] #[ i am so glad to feel normal. thank u numbing pill and water :( ] #ooc #tw: medical #about the mun #whining

*in so much pain i feel like i may pass out* hi everypony

#sunspeak #walking my ass to urgent care

[cyberneticdryad]

guess who got to go to the ER last night?

#dryad speaks #to get y'all up to speed i stated having some minor pain last week which i just assumed was pre period pain #it got a little more naggy up to my birthday but was more w/e #AND THE SUNDAY walking and sitting normally hurt #it was a little worse monday so i went to urgent care and they wanted me to get a ct scan but couldn't get me in anywhere until wednesday #literally 20 minutes after my scan yesterday the doctor calls and is like #'you have an abscess! we really think you should go to the ER asap.' #so here we are #they kept me overnight because of the infection but afaik i get to go home today #fucking wildest post birthday anything i've ever had lol

i hate that i've been complaining about everything in my life lately but if you're a frequent reader of my personal posts (side note, if you are: why. also i'm sorry) but if you remember earlier this week on tuesday i slipped outside and hurt my knee. i didn't end up seeing a doctor about that bc they literally had no openings when i talked to the secretary she was like i am so sorry sweetie. we can't take you for the rest of the week and i was like oh. and after a couple days it didn't hurt sooooo much although i think the limp ive been walking w has not been doing me any favors. but now today especially (? for some reason) BOTH of my legs were really hurting. i'm wondering if that might somehow be related to me getting my period today bc sometimes. you know how period pain can just end up wherever it wants. but then around 8 o'clock today i stubbed the SHIT out of one of my toes and i think i might have injured it (? i dont think it's broken but i cant stand on it and it's been hours). this is my left foot and the knee i hurt on tuesday was on my right leg. i am literally limping on both sides of my body now and i cant stand or walk.

#shout out to me being irritable with my family. sowwyyyyyy #EVERYTHING HURTS WHEN I TRY TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE #i dont know if i can handle seeing people tomorrow and it's Literally Christmas #i told kaily i wanted her to carry me to my bed earlier like im a little kid who fell asleep in the car and she said no :( #sisters are USELESS #tales from diana #menstruation cw #injury cw #maybe i shouldve gone to urgent care or the er about my knee earlier this week #i was starting to think i didnt seriously injure it but now im having doubts? or maybe i walked on it too much yesterday #i really was doing WAY too much walking yesterday but i kinda couldnt help it #my adhd body Wants To Move all the time even when i know i should be taking it easy #thats always been a problem w me whenever ive needed to limit my exertion. i just want to wander and fidget #i have a hard time staying still it makes me feel insanely unhappy #theres no better way to describe it #but i cant. move. now. sooooo #i dont know if i mightve broken my toe or not but its kinda swollen #how common is it to break a toe really? theyve got. theyve got a lot of little tiny bones #i dont know id think its more common to break a toe if you crushed it under something #i stubbed it. REALLY hard. like harder than even a normal really bad toe-stubbing. #i dont know. i dont know. i dont know. #can i have a wheelchair for christmas just for like a week at least #and get someone to carry me up and down the stairs?

#a post thats in the tags so I don't take up space. Sorry for not being as active the last few days. got another thing piled onto the #'Kaden can't stop having things wrong with their body' So I'm dealing with bs. This one hit suddenly and I spent the day trying to get #into walk in clinics (and failed) they either weren't open or they were already filled for the day. #hoping I can get in sometime tomorrow and if not then its back to urgent care which is really something I'd not do as the wait times #are astronomically long. but if I have too I have too. #If I ever feel a little better I'll be here to bombard you with content and rb your stuff. please keep tagging me. i won't get to it #straight away but usually when I see I'm tagged I will rb it into my drafts so they don't get lost 💜 #I feel like I haven't been existing lately irl and its really got me at an extremely low mood point. #sleep pain sleep pain eat/drink sleep pain repeat the cycle and I'm just so mentally exhausted. #I love you all /pl and I hope I can start being a little more cheery soon and I'm sorry a couple of my posts havent been. im just having a #real rough go of it rn #cosmic chatter

[forlorn-kumquat]

I feel like I got kicked in the chest, but I haven't actually gotten hit there lately, so it's probably an infection or inflammation of some kind

with my luck, it's gonna be costochondritis, take two

#last time it hurt so bad I wound up in the ER #six hours of thinking I was having a heart attack #only to walk away with some 800s and an antibiotic #at least this time I'll be smart enough to use the urgent care first #although in past-me's defense it was almost midnight when I went in #cause I was in so much pain I could barely breathe #personal

#chronic blogging #shit chat #well at this point both of my parents (who i inherited my Just Tough It Out streak from) have #upon hearing how bad my post-hysterectomy pain has been #told me 'umm no you need to go see someone.' and 'please just go to urgent care i will pay for it if your insurance won't.' respectively #haunted by the ghost of my right ovary (sharp stabbing pains & debilitating muscle spasms around the incision site) #it's been 1.5 years since surgery and it's getting worse not better #at my 1mo post op i was like 'hey right side hurts a lot worse & the incision seems really wonky & off-center. thoughts?' #they said it was nothing to worry about give it time i might still be feeling pain up to 6mo post op #sooo 8mo post op contact surgeon again 'hey remember that thing i mentioned? yeah still hurts bad enough i struggle to walk sometimes' #she says eeehhh maybe you developed pelvic floor dysfunction or always had it and surgery made it worse. read this book & do some stretches #book stretches & muscle relaxers helped for a bit so i just carried on but it was not improving in fact becoming more persistent #lil over a year post op contact surgeon like 'HEY do not ignore me i am in an amount of pain that is NOT NORMAL and you WILL see me' #drive 1+ hrs for her to poke at me for ~10 minutes ignore most of what i was saying and determine it's just muscle spasms do more stretches #said physical therapy MIGHT help if i did it 2x monthly for at least 6mo. which would've involved commuting over an hour during the workweek #no THANK you i'll just keep doing my stupid stretches. and the thing is. #the stretches ARE helping. i feel my overall balance/flexibility/stamina improving #but that by contrast is making the STABBING PAINS WHERE MY RIGHT OVARY USED TO BE all the more obvious #'oh it's just muscle spasms' well why the FUCK are my muscles spasming around THIS SPOT EXCLUSIVELY for SEVENTEEN MONTHS STRAIGHT #i have essentially no pain on my left side at all. i feel overall just fine & dandy but i am convinced there is something #like. very seriously wrong on the right side causing this #and yeah if my surgeon won't listen to me maybe i will check myself into urgent care and demand an ultrasound #(which btw i asked for during my last visit & she told me it was unnecessary & to fuck off) #but now the two people who instilled me with a very deep mistrust for the medical industry #and from who i learned from via a lifetime of observation how to dissociate from chronic pain in order to function #are telling me 'yeah no this is bad you need a DOCTOR.' umm. i probably need a doctor. #was talking w/ E last night about degrees of pain & like. avg day is like 4-6 on a 0-10 scale. good days 2-3. #i don't consider calling out from work unless it's like an 8 or higher cause i'm just so used to it. #i'm sick of it. so fucking bored with being in constant pain. i want my life & energy back. i want a personality beyond Oh Just Tired back. #i wanna be able to enjoy touch again with immediately hitting overstimulation threshold due to pain.
