i know vitamin c basically neutralizes adhd meds but lemonade good
If you don't mind me asking, what ARE the right codewords to use on doctors and such?
I’ve thought, many times, about writing a book or something that was basically How To Negotiate Your Disability Without Curling Into A Ball And Weeping More Than Once Or Twice A Week *Or* Murdering The Entire Universe (More Than Once Or Twice A Week).
Here are some highlights:
1) On acquiring adequate pain medication.
Never actually say “I really need strong drugs here doctor, because the drugs you and every other doctor gave me for this injury/illness didn’t work, and also I’ve been in pain for years and I’d like that to stop.”
While there are some doctors who speak human languages and will understand what you’re saying, most, when you say that, will hear:
“I am a ravening junkie werekaiju, and I will come to your house and EAT YOUR BABIES IF YOU DON’T GIVE ME HEROIN.”
You think I’m kidding? Watch a healthcare professional’s eyes when someone else says something like the following. Watch them shut down and back away and tighten up and generally stop treating the person like a human. So what do you say?
Try this:
“Well, I hate these drugs that make me *stupid*, you know? One of these so-called doctors — they gave me some pill that made me feel like I was on a whole separate planet for *years*, but I was still in pain! I have things to *do*, doctor. I have a job/family/projects. I wouldn’t be here if I could get my work done the way I am now, but if I can’t do them with the drugs you give me, then what’s the point?”
Make sure to translate this into the appropriate dialect for your area, but note the important points:
a) Reassures the doctor that you’re not one of those ~*eeevil*~ junkies.b) Reassures the doctor that you’re not one of those ~*eeevil*~ non-productive members of society.
c) Reassures the doctor that you’re not one of those ~*eeevil*~ weak-willed disabled people.
Remember not to use too *much* *correct* medical jargon — they get suspicious about that.
Yes, all of this is necessary a *lot* of the time.
With the above code, 95% of the time the doctors begin *cooing* at me and treating me like *royalty* — and *100%* of the time I have gotten the effective medication.
Pro-tip: If you can add a true (or true-sounding) story about how much you *hate* one *particular* opiate (“Percocet is useless! All it does is make me stupid!”), then you’re probably in the bag.
2) Acquiring mobility devices.
Never actually say “I need a walker/wheelchair/scooter, because I have trouble getting around, and also I have a great deal of fatigue and pain when I try to do so.”
While some healthcare professionals speak human languages and have souls… well. A lot of them? Will hear this:
“I am a fat, lazy, Fatty McFatFat, and I will continue to expand, much like the universe, until I am a drain on the resources of this great nation and a proof that you, doctor, are a failure. I will never use the mobility devices, ever, and they will gather dust in my home — a mockery of everything you, Morally Healthy Person, holds dear.”
Yes, I know this makes even less sense than the former, but I’ve interrogated these people — the ones who have still have partially-functional souls and minds — and this really is how it works in their adorable little pinheads.
They really do think we’re asking for these devices for… no reason at all.
Or, as my otherwise sane GP put it, she has an honest fear that people like us will take one look at our new mobility devices and throw all caution — and sense — to the winds. That we’ll stop stretching and exercising. That those of us who *can* walk for short distances will — somehow! — decide to *never walk again*. That we’ll decide to — gleefully! cheerfully! blithely! — let every last one of the muscles we’ve been clinging to with our *fingernails* *atrophy* to *nothing*, because…
Because they think we’re idiots, that’s why. So, try this instead:
“I have a lot of pain and fatigue when I try to walk for any kind of distance, at all, and that’s getting in the way of my ability to have anything resembling an active life. It’s even hard to get to my doctor’s appointments sometimes! I want to do at least some of my own shopping and other errands, and go out with my friends, and at least try to hold down a job, but unless the weather is really good and I’m having a good day in other ways, it’s just not going to happen. I don’t want to stop using my cane/walker/whatever completely — and I *won’t* unless I *have* to, just like I won’t stop doing my PT and OT exercises — but I need something that will let me actually have a life.” Note the similarities to the pain management code — and yes, do make sure you put this in your own words.
But also make sure you keep everything that makes you sound like the Virtuous Handicapable Person you totally are.
Because that’s necessary.Yes, it is.Yes. It. Is. Just as it will be necessary, in many states — make sure you check — to add in this little number:
“It’s just… well, you know that I don’t really have any bladder or GI issues, doctor, but I still… sometimes… on bad mobility days… you know.”
Here’s where you look down.
“Sometimes I don’t make it… you know. In time.”
Understand that you’ll have to repeat this to, like, four different people. At least.Understand that some of them will make you get specific.
If it helps, pretend you’re Steph Brown, doing her level best to gross the everloving bejeezus out of her P.E. teacher with graphic stories about her period so she can get out of class and fight crime.
*I* certainly found that helpful.
Do Not Consume if Seal is Broken
Hello hello, the word of the week was SEAL and my brain got hyper-fixated on the “Do not consume if seal is broken” meme and I couldn’t get off it. You would think this would have led to a light, funny story, but if you are a regular reader, you know this is not the case. Follow our narrator as she makes the choice of whether or not to take the medication. Do not consume if seal is broken, was a…

I love seeing those posts where people are like “if you have headmates or whatever you should be on meds because that’s not okay” posts. Like neurotypicals just think that there’s some magical pill out there that will ‘cure’ anything they don’t consider ‘normal.’ Meanwhile, in the land of reality, my shrink thinks it’s pretty healthy that I’m finally getting to know my headmates, and has no intention of putting me on magic pills, because as long as I’m not hurting myself or anyone else, who cares what neurotypicals think is ‘normal?’ Actually, let’s be real: who cares what neurotypicals think at all?
if I don't have water or another liquid near me I would be on the floor in seconds
Ok so this post is extremely long and I put it all together for my blogs Feeling sad page but as I don’t have a huge amount of followers I realize so many people are not seeing this information so I’m posting it here too!
alternatives without harming yourself:
holding/squeezing ice.
splashing your face with water.
getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though it’s better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm).
take a hot shower or bath.
eat something sour. it will take your mind of the urge. (lemon, sour lollies)
massage where you want to self-harm.
get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm.
remind yourself as to why you shouldn’t do it. (scars, harms organs, leave memories etc…)
describe what you are feeling. (is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head).
killing yourself will not help. it is not a solution.
you have your whole life ahead of you. you have so many more years that you can accomplish things in. for example;
having a family.
getting married.
to watch the sun rise.
to watch the sun set.
to save someone else’s life.
finish school.
get your dream job.
to laugh.
to smile.
to go camping.
travel to new places.
to wake up every morning to the person you love.
friends.
family.
to keep that promise you made.
to accomplish a goal.
to meet your idol.
to listen to new music.
theme parks.
video games.
chocolate.
to be able to look back and say “i made it”.
what you’re going through is temporary.
in case you need to hear this:
you are loved.
you are wanted.
you are needed.
you are beautiful.
you are handsome.
you are important.
you are not alone.
you are okay.
you are strong.
you are worth it.
you are smart.
you are not a failure.
you are useful.
you are going to be okay.

Sending love to anyone whose disability has changed the way they look.. whether that be through surgery, medication, shifts in weight, using mobility aids, being limited in the ways you can exercise, having a colostomy bag added, glucose monitors, prosthetics, or anything else that's changed or added to your appearance
It's hard having your body change, especially if it's in a way you don't like at first — whether your disability has given you scars, stretch marks, spots, marks, or altered your appearance entirely: sending love, you've got this.
I wanna cry really bad so that way I can get all of my emotions out but I can’t cause of the antidepressants I’m on.
I got a new medication but I ate it but I’m happy to tell you it is not white but both moss water green and tangerine orange : )
Ran out of my sleep meds and I'm feeling

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging
Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.
My deepest apologies; I depend on my parent's income and am a student. I hope to get a job soon although that might not be for a while. Only one person in my household works and it's just barely enough to get by. When I eventually make money I want to help others in need but for now, all I have to give is my time. I sincerely hope that you can recover from this situation and I believe that you deserve safety and stability just like everyone else. I've had a few people in my inbox with other problems and I've felt so bad about delivering bad news when their situation is as bad as it is. I just didn't know how to respond to these types of requests. I hope that tagging this will help by reaching people who CAN help you.
Plz to stop Don't leave me without reading.😷
“In the war, I thought I was strong, that I would overcome any challenge. But when I was infected with Covid-19, I felt like the world stopped around me. Every day was a nightmare, the fear of suffocation, constant headaches, high fever, body pain, isolation, and the feeling of loneliness were ravishing me.” On the inside I was having moments where I didn't know if I would ever be able to breathe normally again. But thanks to the support of my loved ones and medical care, I will overcome the disease. Illness has taught me one thing; Strength does not lie in endurance alone, but rather in asking for help and cooperating with those around you.
Today, I stand before you to ask for your help, for myself, but also for those who suffer as I do. There are those who do not find enough support or care, and there are those who struggle alone in these difficult circumstances. Your small donation can make a big difference in someone else's life, just as the support you received did mine. I know the world is full of challenges, but I believe that one heart can make a difference. Thank you for your help and support.”

to anyone who might be reading:
please remember to take your meds and get your refills if you need them.
we have been neglecting our health so badly because of our relationship that we put of four refills until we already had less than a week of them left.
we are now constantly feeling sick and experiencing symptoms, dissociating dangerously, anxious and terrified for no reason, cannot sleep until 4 am, and have split at least 3 times to handle basic every day stress and tasks because we cannot handle it.
we have our appointments with our professionals set up for as soon as we can get them, but even that is in a few days, and we are struggling to make it until then.
please do not be like we are. please do what you need to take care of yourself. please remember your medications and refills.

----------------------------------
In the lab, Donatello was hard at work.
Over the past couple of weeks, none of them had been sleeping right. Either it was nightmares or just downright fear, but they could never get a full night’s rest from terrorized dreams. Medications didn’t always work for them, not being entirely human, so he was working on something for that. He hoped that when he was finished, he would have something that would finally bury nightmares and cause dreamless sleep.
Of course, he was trying not to keep his hopes up. After all, it may end in failure.
But over the past week, he had been working so hard, it had to work. He had been messing with the dosages of ingredients for a while, and finally found something he thought would work.
Just in time, it was ready. A full bottle of the pills he hoped would work. Was it excessive to make a whole bottle, knowing full well that they might not even be the right dosage? Maybe, but, it wouldn’t hurt to have it on hand, right?
He set the bottle down before going to clean off his desk, just in case they worked a little too well. He wasn’t stupid, he didn’t plan on taking experimental medication with sharp or hard items nearby that could risk injury. On top of that, it was late and he was tired.
Donatello paused before taking the pill, then moved to his room. It was safer there, anyway. And softer. And easier to sleep in, at that.
After his short trek to his bedroom, he sat on the bed, opened up a water bottle, took the pill, then got comfortable and waited.
Really, it should have been more alarming how fast he fell asleep.
%%%
Donatello blinked a few times, swallowing. His head was swimming, why did he feel so sick?
His body screamed that it was wrong, something was wrong and it was bad. Bad, bad bad bad bad-
There was light coming from underneath the shoji, but- He could barely see it, everything was blurry and the colors and lights were muted in the haze. Why did he feel like this? Why did his head hurt? He felt sick, so he should stop moving. Right, not moving, resting, that was good when one was sick.
Could he even move in the first place? He didn't feel like he could, he felt frozen to the spot. He felt scared. Why couldn't he think? He was fairly certain he had been fine before, what was-
Oh, was that his name? It sounded like his name. Who was calling him though? He didn't recognize the voice. He felt sick. Maybe he should stay laying there.
...His breathing shouldn't be that slow, he realized. His chest moved up and down sluggishly, taking in air far too slow to be normal. He needed help, he needed help, maybe that was why he was sick.
Sitting up was a struggle all on it's own, but trying to stand was worse. Donatello's legs buckled out from underneath him, his body refusing to keep him even sitting up, and all he could do was gasp, completely and utterly helpless.
The panic was cutting through the fog, his struggles growing by the second but only taking his breath away. He didn't know how long it had been since this started, didn't know how long he had left at this rate, why was this-
The medication. He took that before bed, but it should've helped, what happened to make him like this? What had-
You put too much, said the little voice in his head, before unhelpfully supplying: It's an overdose.
If it was an overdose, he would die without assistance. His own work would kill him, he'd be found dead in-
Somebody called his name, sounding concerned and growing closer. Hadn't they called earlier? There might still be hope for him.
But breathing was hard, leaving him gasping like a fish out of water, he could barely see anything, and he couldn't even move, he was helpless, he was helpless-
The murk got brighter, as if the door was ripped open to allow more light in. Somebody swore rather loudly, followed by a gasp, and his world kept flashing in and out of darkness before he realized that there was the same person who swore beside him, giving out orders. When did they get there?
They sighed and said something he couldn't hear before sitting him up and leaning him against them. Something was pushed against his lips and poured into his mouth as his head was tipped back, and, by reflex, he swallowed, flinching at its bitter taste and the fact that it just kept coming. When it was done, his head got pushed back forward, a bucket pushed under his beak, why-?
Before he knew what was going on, he was throwing up, heaving and coughing, unable to breathe for a long moment before he finished.
The person beside him rubbed his shell, waiting until he was finished to move it away, tilt his head back again, and poured something else into his mouth. He was sure it was water, but it still tasted a little odd to him.
Slowly, his sight and sense returned to him, but not without a splitting headache and-
His whole family was in his room.
Leonardo was the one holding him, Michelangelo taking dishes and the bucket out of the room and Raphael sitting on his bed, looking the pill bottle over as if it held all the answers to every question in the world.
Donatello blinked a few times as he realized what had happened. Shoot.
"Oh-" he began, speaking softly, "Oh, I'm so sorry, this was-"
Leonardo nudged him to be quiet and started talking, voice low to avoid hurting Donatello's ears, but definitely concerned. There was no way he hadn't seen the bottle.
"What were you thinking, Don? You could've died. If we had been any later, you probably would’ve!"
Donatello's cheeks burned with shame as he lowered his head, going to explain.
"I'm so sorry, really- I was just testing a sleep medication for us, I must have messed up the dosages-"
"'Must have'? You overdosed, Donnie. You got really sick, so sick we had to pull out the ipecac. Why in the world did you think it was a good idea to test it on yourself?"
"I- I just couldn't think of anything else, and I thought it would be alright. I- Sorry…"
Leonardo heaved a sigh. Not one of his exasperated sighs, though. It was his worried "I'm-Going-To-Have-A-Heart-Attack-At-This-Rate" sighs.
"Just-" Leonardo said after a long moment of consideration, "Just don't try it again, okay? You really scared us, and I'm sure you can find some other way to test it without risking death. Just head to bed for now, without the help of some pills."
My anxiety medication is a dosage where I have to take two separate pills and I ran out of the smaller one but not the other and I think it’s effecting me because I’ve nearly been reduced to tears today by
a) remembering the octopus life cycle
b) discovering someone in my house stole the last quarter of my Terry’s Chocolate Orange
I wanna quit My meds SO BAD it's itching at my brain because I obviously don't need that shit, but I need it, My brain's perfectly fine but also not??
I'm torn between what feels right to Me and what a licensed professional told Me
I can't possibly need medication that bad, right???? I mean.. I'm not THAT unstable am I???
Hello! I need medication for life to prevent my lungs from collapsing, this implies permanent treatment with steroids, oxygen therapy, control of oxygen in the blood and antibiotics to prevent the development of bacteria in the lungs.
I'm afraid I have to insist on this because it may be the only way to get my treatment.
I need medication for life to keep my lungs from collapsing, this costs around $700 per month.
Things are really tough on me,I can’t afford. Please donate🖤
I can’t donate since I’m a minor but I hope this reaches someone who can
That moment when your on medication and you have to check if drinking energy drinks will kill you if mixed with your pills ✌️ sounds like it probably won't so that's nice
Just a little PSA for all our mental health (and chronic pain*) spoonies out there! A lot of doctors neglect to mention this little side effect, which means a lot of us are suffering extra from the heat without knowing why.
*Many psych meds are used to treat chronic pain as well, if you didn’t know!
