hmmm post-flu shot full-body aching and stomach distress and nausea and also tinnitus????? i…. no, actually

well i may be incapable of doing anything but lying on a couch while feeling fatigued, but i can still score in the 96th percentile on the verbal section of a standardized test

literally my doctor handed me an article entitled “the urgent need to reduce sodium consumption” and was like “i want u to ignore everything in this article except the list of the highest-sodium foods on page 2. eat them.”

finally got my rite-of-passage high-sodium food prescription

uh not to be Boring and/or Presumptuously Prescriptive but like. this really very much sounds like the sort of thing you should talk to a doctor about if you haven’t??? i mean, if the validation is useful: this is very much not par for the course!!

hskdjf listen you’re completely right, as it happens i have been to the doctor but “UH SEEK HELP” is what i would describe as the “objectively correct” response to this situation

like, in my case my doctor was like “here’s prescription-strength aleve for the cramps! let us know if you’re still bleeding in a week and maybe we’ll try to fix that? also you have pcos which is why this is happening. have fun!”

rn i’m just sort of in the stage where i’m like “so…. listen….. i’m glad we know what’s going on now, but i still can’t, walk places, so…………..”

menstruation cw, health stuff, blood

so apparently i’ve been bleeding nonstop for an entire month (as of tomorrow). hooray. anniversaries

so like. probably i might. be anemic or something now? that might be why i get tired and short of breath when i walk three blocks, and why i sometimes just can’t……stand up

body? have? stand, walk.

every day is cr/mps. or h**d*che but cr/mps is worse bc doing things that feel like they should help doesn’t help, whereas everyone knows h**d*che is an inviolable creation of G-d & impervious to human efforts at appeasement

i think i burned my throat very slightly on uh– orange flavor chewable ibuprofen

hmmm maybe the real reason i don’t like sandwiches is because when u eat a sandwich and then your body is like You Ate Something We Hated you don’t even get to pretend to yourself that you’ve figured out what the thing is that makes you sick (you didn’t) and that you’ll avoid it from now on (you won’t). it’s a sandwich there’s like seven things in there. it could be anything
