Fun Fact: I Made This Post Yesterday (obviously) And Forgot To Actually. Yknow. POST IT Before I KOed For The Night. So. Whoopsies Lol - Tumblr Posts

one of the things about having (reluctantly. very, very reluctantly) gotten gradually more used to seeing doctors regularly (a... a lot more regularly. ugh) is learning new tips from other, (oftentimes more experienced, but even newbies can come up with some really innovated ideas) spoonies. and a common one that's advised to practice making into a habit is:

"hey, when shit gets bad? write it in your calendar so you can tell your doctor (and then also take a minute to write down recent events (like i was super fatigued and light-headed yesterday; so i rested all day and therefore know i should note i didn't over-exert yesterday. by writing that down, my doctor knows Today's Bullshit wasn't likely "a consequence of Whatever I Did The Day Before") and also to jot down recent life-changes like, uh, my new ADHD meds, i started those yesterday. so im writing it down. even tho i doubt the my switch from regular Adderal (wasn't working on me, at all) into Adderal-XR-or-whatever-letters-are-at-the-end-of-it caused knee-muscle inflammation that makes it SO MUCH HARDER TO WALK WTF. it's more likely the pill-change caused yesterday's nonsense with being sick and light-headed. but idk health shit, thats my doctors job) and know the exact dates of it all to better help your doctor do their job in helping you out"

but it's not all bad! its kinda nice to get to do lil spiteful thingy about it. thats nice

it's like i get to momentarily do the iconic "just wait until mom the doctor sees this! *blows raspberry at you and runs away with the evidence that'll get you in trouble*" sneer, like im an A+ representative of that specific "antagonistic sibling throughout the 70s - 90s' campy movies" trope lmao ♡
