Look, heelers might be freaks, and be very intense in the "creature is not standing right" department, but I'll never be NOT impressed how good with CONTRACTS Fallon is. She has been on phenobarbital for the seizures since december now (and had zero seizures so far, compared to monthly, before that) The funny part is that we've started with liquid oral medication - which, vet has advised to just give her, by mouth, with syringe twice a day. He did say it's okay to drop it into food if we gotta, but it would be best to just syringe it, to ensure she's getting full, very specific dose (1.1ml) Initially I was expecting way more resistance than I got, but the routine we've settled on, with her agreement, was -human draws up syringe, places on arm of the chair -human goes to kitchen, to find snack (ranging from a singular blueberry, through few pieces of kibble, to slice of cheese or ENTIRE HOT DOG - I tried to keep it varied, but still fair, and to be sth that will help her to get the taste out of her mouth) -human places item on the other arm -human sits down, dog sits in front, no restraint aside from muzzle grab -syringe goes in mouth, usually in 2 rounds of med, and no treat inbetween. She swallows it with such a stinkface you can tell she's truly and well disgusted (she got to sniff menthol and citronella stuff on occasions and it's on similar level) -treat is given She's been getting her meds, AND reminding me about them, dutifully (aight human, it's time for the nasty time, get it over with so I can get snacks) Recently however, due to lack of seizures, we've been promoted to pills which have a little bit less SPECIFIC dosage (I think?)

And for the last five doses, I had a dog who has asked for meds, received med in way more convenient form, using the same process, got the treats, but would NOT fuck off, until I have squirted a water from syringe into her mouth. Conditioning is helluva drug. But there's something to be said about the sense of duty the dog has, even while in the same system, reward has been presented without the negative thing that usually prefaced it, the dog considers the negative thing necessity.

Another weird medical question for y'all! This one is benadryl (diphenhydramine) related. Well, these ones, plural A. Have you ever gotten so upset and/or emotional you spiked a fever? B. Have you ever taken benadryl for a fever, emotion-caused or not and C. Did the benadryl completely fix your fever? Before anyone points it out, yes I know none of that should I work that way. I did not take the benadryl for the fever, I took the benadryl for the oncoming allergic reaction that was starting, and then once it kicked in I no longer had a fever. I am aware all of that is weird, which is why I am asking these questions lol

#the person behind the yarn #tj asks weird questions #medical mention #medication mention #children's chewable benadryl cures all my issues (except low blood pressure and muscle spasms) #and it shouldn't! this is not medical advice #half the stuff benadryl fixes for me should not work that way! #both in that allergic reactions shouldn't cause those symptoms and in that benadryl shouldn't fix it #but the fever is new I'll admit #it raised my temp by like a degree and a half from my baseline #but also sometimes if I get too upset my blood pressure drops like a rock and I swoon like something from a victorian novel #so of those two ways my autonomic system could completely fail to handle emotional stress #I might prefer the fever????

I know I should stand up against ableism from my doctor and not just sit there and politely nod my head. I keep smiling even though it is killing me inside. I know I should find a different doctor. But the thing is, I am so tired. I am so tired of explaining myself, I am so tired of defending why I need more pain medication. I've lost count of how many times I've begged for a different kind of pain medicine, one that would help me better. I am so tired of hearing that I just need to balance more and put heat on my muscles or take a warm bath (unbelievable, I've been hearing this since day 1 of my diagnosis - pain isn't gone!!) I am so tired, I am so tired of how much work it is to manage chronic illness. I just can't anymore. So I just sit there, smile and nod my head. Whatever, sure, fine. You don't hear me anyway and it is not worth spending my energy on. Even though I should.

I decided not to cold turkey go off my meds, thanks to those from recently who called that out as potentially harmful to me. HOWEVER I fully intend to lay down the law so to speak with my psychiatrist. I've been on these fuckin pills 14 years!!! I want off!!! He's gonna wean me or I'll get a new doctor who will

tried to get my antipsychotic lowered to help with the RLS i've been getting and after telling me they would lower the dose they didn't and instead prescribed benadryl to help with it

she said her and her team think it's a bad idea to go down on my antipsychotic and if the benadryl doesn't work theyre gonna try a different med 🙄

i swear to god no psychiatrist actually listens to their schizophrenic patients.

Hey y'all! Weird question time again So I have kind of a lot of emergency/as needed medications that I have to have with me in my purse whenever I leave the house, and a few more that I have to take with meals, so if I'm going to leave the house for longer than a quick errand I need those too. The problem: I have two nieces that live nearby-ish, one of which is an absolute bundle of chaos of a toddler*, and the kidlet I babysat is going to visit next year. He's nine. If I spend time with any of those kids, how do I childproof my purse full of medications without making it difficult to access emergency medications I could need at very short notice while potentially pretty significantly impaired, like my rescue inhaler? *her parents babyproofed some doors with those latches high up on the door and she figured out how to take a broom and unlatch them

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #medication mention #harm to children mention #not like specific actual harm it's hypothetical harm I am trying to stop from being an issue #but I know that can be a big issue for people so I tried to tag for it #but like some of the meds I am on can be REALLY BAD if overdosed even a little #one of my meds was used as the murder weapon on a tv show! #and that's the one I (a fully grown not-that-small adult) take 0.05 mg of daily #my nieces are not fully grown and even 0.05mg is probably a dangerous amount for them #but I have to have that pill with me when I leave the house because sometimes I need an extra dose #and if I need an extra dose and don't take it I can get very sick very fast #the benadryl I am less concerned about because A. it's a children's dose and B. it tastes terrible #but I reaaaaally don't want to risk making them sick but also. I HAVE to have those medications with me when I leave the house #and I HAVE to have most of them very easily accessible #because it is difficult to think or do some fine motor skills (like undoing child locks) when wheezing really badly

Migraine whump prompts

this is based off my own migraines and pain i feel multiple times a week and have my whole life

cw: vomit mention

Whumpee who gets migraines trapped in a grocery store/office building with florescent strip lights and music. They can't leave for whatever reason so the pain keeps building and building until they can't function at all. even blinking is agonizing

caffeine can help but also triple the pain. Whumpee gets a tea and either feels better long enough to get home or it doubles with no warning and there is never a way to tell ahead of time

every muscle in their body aches, even the rise and fall of their chest causes pain to shoot through their head

violently vomiting on and off for hours even with nothing in their stomach. Water won't stay down either (this is the worst cos then pain killers are out of the question)

feeling worse because they can't eat or drink

migraine aura, little blobs floating into their vision and they can't see around them but they know it means a migraine is coming. maybe the more there are the worse it gets

too much pain to walk. Have your whumpee just barely able to lift themselves up enough to throw up, either into the toilet, a trash can, or the floor

EVERY light and sound is too much.

dizziness, feeling faint, always cold or hot

no matter where they sleep they can't get comfortable

a short migraine could be 18 hours

a long one? 40

have htem be weak for a couple days after cos it is exhausting

make them lose reading comprehension during one, even basic sentences make no sense

you can build up immunity to painkillers. i'm completely immune to tylonol and that happened in about 6-7 years from grade 1- grade 7

the guilt of it being out of their control and maybe whumper berates them for it

can't fall asleep because of the pain

I was showing off all my hangman stuff that’s around my room to some friends that aren’t into wrestling but suffer hearing me talk about hangman from time to time, and at one point I wanted to show them all the figurines I have in their boxes in my closet, but my leftover, empty prescription pill bottles for my antidepressants and anxiety meds were stacked in front of them, so really quickly in the video I moved them out of the way to reveal all of the hangman figures behind them and my friend was dying about it. i told her I’m pretty sure hangman would approve tbh 💀
