Quick thing I did about these two.
Sweet perpetually abused Melora. That post traumatic sure does stress.
Doctor red flags:
-Mentions weight loss, exercise, nutrition, mental wellness, before any physical examination/testing
-interrupts you
-tries to rush the appointment
-laughs at you
-says you're too young
-Touches you without warning or asking for consent (common with older male doctors unfortunately, but is becoming less common)
-accuses you of self dxing/mentions dr. Google
Do not be afraid to drop a doctor/caregiver and see a new one. Doctor shopping is a term made by ableds who believe every doctor is perfect. Your health is precious and you should only trust those you're comfortable with to take care of it. Do not feel bad about offending the doctor. They do not care. They won't harass you or question you (if they do then that's..probably illegal). I know its hard with some insurances or lesser served areas so don't feel bad if you can't, but if you have the option to do so do not be afraid.
Extra tip: Most doctors will behave themselves if you bring an advocate. Even just having a friend sit quietly will help.
PLEASE HELP ME GET TOP SURGERY!!!
i'm an unemployed trans artist who needs help paying for top surgery! my insurance will cover most of it but i've already been made aware that to get the results i want there will be $3691 fee, on top of the costs for a 1 week stay at a hotel (getting surgery out of state). please help me out if you can!!!

Hey I hate to do this, but I could really use some help until I get paid next week. I'm about 20 dollars short for my auto insurance and then I have no money until I get paid next week (which will all go to rent). If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Ok, had my hysterectomy two days ago. Everything went well, no complications. And I have actually stopped taking the pain meds, because this is legitimately less painful that any period cramp I've ever had. I didn't think my cramps were that bad? Hearing the way some folks talk about them, it didn't seem like what I was dealing with was all that extreme. But if three surgical incisions and two missing organs hurts less than the cramps did I was probably just not processing the pain well at the time. I do still have one ovary left, so it's possible I could get cramping from that, but they took the right side out, so if I get any pain over there it's probably the appendix instead. Ether way. I have been successfully removed from the gene pool.
Reblogging to add the context for anyone who doesn’t know about the spine incident TM
@torontofarmboi
The run & issues/where to read the arc:
It goes down in Batman & Robin (2009) - which is the run where Dick is Batman and Damian becomes/starts being Robin. The spine arc starts in issue #6 and ends in #12 but I would advise reading the issues before it (#6 is when he gets paralysed not when the story arc begins). Obviously my explanation has spoilers so heads up for that
(Also heads up if anyone decides to read the run - it’s a very good run, would absolutely recommend, we stan the dynamic duo 2.0 - but the run has a very uh- interesting way of writing Jason so maybe take his stuff with a grain salt)
Actual explanation:
Ok so, Dick and Damian (+Jason and his child sidekick but that’s not important) fight a serial killer called flamingo and during the fight he shoots and paralyses Damian
(Batman & Robin 2009 #6) (the panels are skipping over non-spine stuff)
This is back before he cut ties with the league of assassins so his mum comes to pick him up and the league heals him & replaces his spine with a metal, presumably titanium, one (+connects his nerves to the new one) so he’s not paralysed anymore
(Batman & Robin #6 + #7)
Skip ahead a couple issues and past the zombie Batman arc. Turns out Damian’s spine had a chip in it so that the league could control his nervous system via sci-fi Bluetooth and force him to kill Dick.
(Batman & Robin 2009 #11 + #12)
They manage to temporarily stop the nerve control and then take out the chip. The whole ordeal, quite fairly, really disturbs Damian who ends up leaving the league over it.
(Batman & Robin 2009 #12)
And so ends the spine arc TM
Seriously tho, I highly recommend this run, it’s so pivotal to Dick and Damian and is the basis for their entire relationship (for added points or if yall wanna go on a reading binge Red Robin 2009 takes place during the same time frame and obviously has some amount of crossover in terms of searching for Bruce after his “death”)
Damian’s prosthetic spine is my Roman Empire

So many TV shows/movies depict the Epi Pen as a total solution for anaphylaxis...it's not. The Epi Pen gives you 30 minutes to get to a hospital where they can save your life. TV makes it look like you just have to use the Epi Pen and then the crisis is over. Do people without allergies or a loved one with allergies know that an Epi Pen only buys you time? The more I see this on TV the more I worry...
**Maybe you should reblog this because I'm actually worried that most people don't know.
My eyes are rolling over on their own, I don't have control over it
Baby ❤️❤️🙈 i love it.
The codeine pills really work, I love them because today I woke up another day without any fear WOW
open question about writing pnes
i've been writing a fic for a while about a character having a psychogenic non-epileptic seizure due to being under a lot of stress (dan egan s3e7 special relationship iykyk) because i love to project onto characters :) i only have experience with non-epileptic seizures due to serotonin syndrome tho, and i've never had a psychogenic seizure. i've obviously done some reading but its not super easy to find tons and tons of info because its decently rare, so i am reaching out to the tumblr community :)
specific qs below the cut, tw emeto+brain damage
does vomiting happen during pnes seizures
is it possible to get cerebral hypoxia from not breathing during the seizure
is it even possible for it to be a one time thing due to severe stress
can you remember what happened during the seizure/around the time of it
after waking up is there disorientation and if so how bad + for how long
thank you!!!
The cost of knowing yourself.
(TW: medical emergency)
Oh, also, the raccoon had a horrible anaphylactic reaction over the weekend and we didn't have an EpiPen so we had to rush him to the emergency room while his throat was actively closing up and then he had to spend the night at the hospital, but the bright side is that I got to use my one and only life skill of Being Really Good in a Crisis™
Love to have health anxiety + a latent heart condition + alexthymia/poor interoception + simultaneously too much and not enough knowledge of human biology. Every time I get pain between my shoulder blades or feel my heart beating fast or have indigestion or have any sort of general anxious feelings in my body, my brain throws out "your heart's probably failing, idiot" regardless of how much more likely it is that those symptoms are caused by something totally unrelated.
