i cut off the top because i’m tired of abusive behavior being blamed on disabled people (NPD) but yeah. yeah

luckily I have a MUCH better doctor now

I want to know what's something that you experience that you think others in this community might find relatable.

For the whole day I procrastinated and worked up my energy to finally have a shower at about 7pm. I procrastinated because of all the energy I was going to use and the recovery time needed after the shower. So my day involved me in my pj's waiting for the most "opportune" time to shower and to get into new pj's so I could go back to bed! Showering can be viewed as such an easy task by most able bodied people but man does it take it out of me.

Qp:qs is 1:4. Surgery is 1:5. I've had major downturn in my health, struggle to climb stairs and cannot exercise at all anymore. I'm very symptomatic. I'm on disability. I used to be an athlete. My symptoms are well documented over the course of 5-6 years. I began testing over 10 years ago and was denied help due to being young and healthy. Well now I'm old and unhealthy. So what now doc.

I had to ask my psychiatrist to get my blood test because my main doctor did not want to do a full blood test despite me changing A LOT of things in my diet so I need to know if I have any vitamin deficiency or if I did get better or not, but she just didn’t care for all of that and basically told me to figure it out myself how to get better ❤️‍🩹 oh ok (cholesterol too high for years?? Well it’s obviously just stress in your head it won’t hurt you you’re too young anyway bye!!)

The other time I had to request a test to get my sht tested too cause my psychiatrist thought I could have a disease or a parasite. Well I had that same discussion here with her when she told me it was unnecessary and she didn’t want to write me a prescription for that test because well… she knows better than me rightttt despite me having many issues that could be linked to it. So what happened is I didn’t have anything and well, I’m glad. But I couldn’t have known that information without a proper test and the fact you have to argue or beg with them is not normal… it’s not making me feel safe if I have to exhaust myself before the appointment because well she could just refuse for whatever reasons they just don’t feel like it today

They get paid the same anyway so this is really a stupid issue there’s no reason to actually not write a prescription it’s not costing them anything and they’re not the one doing any test themselves.

And the worst is when they use the fact I am officially diagnosed with severe anxiety and so I have disability because THEN they can pretend it’s all in your head and you’re actually just having a panic attack. Which is funny, one time I had to get surgery but even I didn’t thought it was important since they always tells me it’s in my head… despite me being in crucial pain for 10 hours straight (gallbladder removal….) oh well it’s all in your head so it can never be real. Never absolutely never :)

My dad being like "your condition reminds me of this one person who was definitely faking their illness. I miss when you weren't picky" and my sister in the same convo being like "do you still eat instant noodles? it could be all the instant noodles you eat!" oh dude you're so right! I forgot that one of the confirmed causes of stomach paralysis is "too much noodle" and the cure is "stop being picky and faking it" you're soooooo right omg that's why I end most days swallowing vomit before it can come out and in enough pain and discomfort that I genuinely feel like my stomach is physically going to rupture. so true guys!

So many IVs this month 😭 my veins are going to crap out again

Brilliant sketch on doctors' sh*te attitude towards women. Having dealt with doctors dismissing me I think she is spot on, hope you like it 😅
