Hi, welcome to "Why am I learning this [insert medical thing here] from a Tumblr blogger better known for vampire nipples instead of my doctor?"

I'll unfortunately be your guide because apparently no one else is fucking bothering*.

*banging pots and pans*

Edit 12/21/23: If you still need a refill urgently and your doc’s already closed, please continue to reach out on 12/22/23! There’s a chance it might not get in before the long weekend, but you won’t know if you don’t try. Either way, the sooner the process starts, the better!

Everybody with maintenance meds, now is the time to get end of the year refills. If it needs to be taken care of before second week of January, reach out ASAP. This goes double for prior auths.

Please understand that virtually every office is short staffed, even with all hands on deck. Most of us are also dealing with some type of lingering issues from COVID, and pharmacies are at a turning point (looking at you, pharmacy tech strikes 👀👌🏽). There’s not just a chance of delays, there’s a likelihood. I just want everyone who can avoid the ER for the next two weeks to do so. It’s going to be even worse than usual.

TL; DR: 12/21/23 morning is pretty much last call for timely med refills through January 5th, 2024.

Best wishes,

Your chronically ill medical scheduler w/ ADHD (who is filing their refills Right Now)

Edit: quoting @morallydiseased in the notes

“That goes for your chronically ill pets too. Don't wait to refill meds only to discover that your animal is overdue for blood work and an exam and you can't get in until mid-January. Shipping sucks ass this time of year so don't wait.”

Edit: one more quote from @kiana996

“Also, if you get your meds through the VA and can't renew online CALL YOUR NURSE LINE. Explain the situation and ask them to help you get the meds renewed. They can connect you quickly to your doctor, or sometimes can just do it through their system.”

"average person's bones hurt every day" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person's bones hurt only occasionally. Joint Pains Georg, whose immune system repeatedly attacks itself for no reason, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

A little update

Well, the short of it is: they found two retina holes with a bit of fluid in my left eye. Had to get them lasered up to prevent a retinal detachment. My follow up appointment is in 2 weeks so crossing my fingers that all will be well.

In the past week and a half, I’ve written 5k, including 10 microfics (mostly for the workshop I’m hosting at hpffwg), hit my smart watch’s default fitness goals 5 consecutive days, made dinner three times, and grocery shopped in person.

I’d like to thank spring break, my rheumatologist, and the vitamin b12.

#can’t articulate the degree to which most of these things are impossible for me #it’s been ROUGH #but even a month ago all of those things were absolutely impossible #except *maybe* the grocery shopping one #and that’s been even more impossible for longer #is this a sustainable lifestyle? absolutely not. but the fact that I did it at all is wild #take your vitamins y’all #you don’t know what’s missing until it’s long gone #LT talks #chronic health tag

Only spoonies know how validating it is to hear a doctor say, unprompted, that the diagnosis you were given 10 years ago is bullshit and is not actualy recommended to be given anymore.

Was having a conversation with my mother about my chronic, debilitating migraines, and her cheerful, "Well, at least it's not 100 years ago. What would they have done then? It's not like they could give you anything stronger," and my deadpan, utterly exhausted, "They'd have given me cocaine" didn't go down as well as it could have.

Like, I get where she's coming from, but they very much would have given me something stronger than Tylenol.

Me: Okay, I really want to get things done, but I’m sitting down as soon as I get up. Brain, what’s happening?

Brain: Alright, so you know how there’s the ADHD thing?

Me: Yeah, but this doesn’t feel like it’s just that.

Brain: You’re not wrong, but I don’t think you wanna know.

Me: It’s not gonna get better if I don’t figure it out.

Brain: :/

Brain: I’m gonna add them, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

-Hips has entered the chat room-

Hips: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Me: Oh my god, kick them! Kick them now!

Brain: Sorry, they have admin access.

Me: WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THEM AN ADMIN?!

Brain: *shrugs*

Brain: You ignored them for so long that this was the only deal they’d take.

Hips: YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ME, MOTHERFUCKER! YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ALL OF US!

-Shoulders, Spine, and Ankles have entered the chat—

Me: Bullying!

-Abdomen, Calves, Thighs, Knees, and Scalp have entered the chat—

Me: Brain, do something! This is bullying!!!

Brain: Sorry dude, but I can’t go against the union. That’s scab behavior. :/

Me: UNIONS DON’T JUMP INNOCENT PEOPLE!

Hips: K

Shoulders: U

Taking a pain killer with caffeine and my anti-tachycardia meds at the same time and letting them fight it out in the world's stupidest battle royale where I am inevitably the loser

Hello. Love your story.

Just wanted to say, don't be worried. I have had those too. Everything will work out. Good luck.

Thanks anon 💜 hopefully our eyes and vision will be fine for all the years to come. Honestly that's really all I'm asking for right now.

Intellectually I know that migraines and headaches are two different things and neither mutually inclusive or exclusive.

HOWEVER— I don’t feel it’s reasonable to demonstrate this by making me have both at the same time.

#i don’t wish chronic illness on anyone but I do sometimes think maybe the kinds of people who think essential oils will fix me #or who tell me migraines are just bad headaches #might benefit from a fun experience like this once or twice #also death to anyone spraying perfume in public places #i cannot wish hell on the weather but I can wish it on them #(for legal reasons this is a joke. probably.)#and yes. for the record. the migraine head pain and the headache feel different #like a bruise and a burn on the same spot #LT talks #chronic health tag
