Curate, connect, and discover
i- this needs to be shared, no matter if you need it or not.
Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
rant below the cut
my dad has EDS and i have all the syptoms, just less seveare, ive spent over an hour in the bathroon about to cry in pain, my shoulders almost constantly ache, one time a few years ago it got so bad so suddenly i felt like something was broken, for a couple days, my wrist and ankle amost are always just, uncomftable and ive been so nauseos i couldnt sleep all night cuz i was dry heaving because i got slightly sick, i use my dads topicle pain medicine on my wrist consistently and ocantially shoulders, hell ill get nausos if i drink to much to fast
but im still scared to say im disabled because unless its a flair up i can do most things (or im being stoped for mental reasons not physical),
but ive had times where i couldnt breath becuase my girl scout troop was hiking to fast, i cough like im dying when im fine,
i just started using a wrist brace my parents already had for my right wrist and it helps so much, i might need to fing the one for the other wrist and i also might need to get ankle braces, but i feel as though im faking it even though i know im not
please someone help me feel a but better about this
I decided to fix this problem by walking 30 minutes in the rain, so I could go sit in a coffee shop
Soaking wet
Leaking misery and Tiger Balm
(I do actually feel better.)
I’m popping pills left and right
(It’s ibuprofen)
(The rain makes my joints ache)

chronic pain and final exams at the same time isn't fun
would love to make friends with some other chronically ill people!
some stuff about me:
i'm 19 and diagnosed with dysautonomia. i also got some chronic back pain and other stuff i'm trying to get checked out
feel free to message me if you aren't some creep :)
why is chronic illness so difficult to understand for healthy people?
like "yes, i am ill everyday"
"no, i will not be getting better soon"
me: "i'm so fatigued and my brain fog is pretty bad"
healthy person: "stop complaining, i'm tired too"
your "tired" is not the same as my fatigued! sleep won't cure me, this is not how it works!
my back pain is so bad today idk how i'm supposed to do things or even sleep!
i'm already doing physio therapy so idk what else to do about it at this point
really tired but making sure to stay awake until the point of exhaustion so i hopefully actually fall asleep
recovering from a simple cold really takes incredibly long when you have a chronic illness...
like please i wanna be able to do at least some things again
any tips for what helps with insomnia?
having insomnia when having a chronic illness sucks!
my chronic illness flares up cause i don't get enough sleep, but i don't get enough sleep cause of my chronic illness
