#some same nerve that usually gets inflamed must be sensitive to the fever

[slavabogu]

i hate a lot on modern medicine, and deservedly, but corticosteroids wiped my unnecessary fever and i feel like im not dying for the first time in two weeks

#ibuprofen was doing next to nothing for like a couple of hours and then my fever would shoot back up #i used to believe i had built up a tolerance to ibuprofen bc of very painful periods idek if thats real #paracetamol was just as ineffective though so whatever #i tried waiting it out for two days that was miserable cuz by the end of it it felt like my eyeballs were going to pop out of my head #the pain just kept worsening too. at least if it was constant i wouldn't have been that spooked #anyways now im just left with brickwall fatigue anytime i exert more than my minimum #it happened today i was next to passing out #ya i dunno this really took a toll on me. hopefully ill be back on my feet soon #but ive been REALLY seriously considering how other chronic conditions throughout my life came up in these situation. #First. i got my period during being sick. After two months of nothing. usually a cold postpones it so wtaf #second. my jaw pain my neck pain. the same thing i experience otherwise anyway but this time connected to the migraine from the fever #some same nerve that usually gets inflamed must be sensitive to the fever #literally bc of pms i craved and ate copious amnt of SUGAR during the first week of this illness #and i can not shake the suspicion that it did a number on me.. especially knowing what i know abt how sugar leading to inflammation #can influence people's chances of getting alzheimers and autoimmune disorders #and i do have a family history of autoimmune disease heart disease and now cancer apparently #like dont get me wrong. i lived through this just fine. im still glad i threw a rocking huge party for the first time in my life #and im not letting my parents using this to push the vaccine on me ruin that fact #but anyway i have so so so so so much to reconsider within my life right now like #ill probably turn my whole life around #i dont knkw what ill do #i just think. i cant let the gift of all this suffering go to waste. idk if that's making sense. this needs to mean something to me. alrigh
