@WraithEvans @iTerryTommy I run fevers and get mouth ulcers. I suffer from pretty severe body aches and side pain. During a bad flair I drop a ton of weight as well. I’m on a biologic to treat the condition which makes me feel like I always have a cold coming on.
@WraithEvans @iTerryTommy I have Crohn’s. Everything I eat causes my stomach to hurt and I get random intense painful hunger like pangs for no reason. I suffer from morning nausea/vomiting and I need to use the bathroom up to 12 times in the morning on a bad day.
If you want to know what abortion bans really do, listen to the anguish of this Tennessee woman who can’t get care despite her daughter having a fatal abnormality
@sarahlou_iorua@chronicnotebook Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy others aren’t suffering on the daily but I wish people would have more empathy towards chronic pain sufferers. It’s super isolating realizing your reality is so different from the vast majority of people.
@sarahlou_iorua@chronicnotebook The fact that the majority of people walk around pain free astounds me. Always having some base level of pain is such an ingrained part of my existence that I genuinely forget that it’s a very atypical experience. Super depressing to me if I’m honest.
Duggar family on abortion
•2013: Abortion is “Baby Holocaust”
•2015: Rally against abortion!
•2020: March for Life!
•2023: “Due to complications we had a procedure to remove the baby & pretend it isn’t abortion.”
Healthcare for me but not for thee

Having two root canals done in a few minutes. I have a LOT of anxiety around dental work and my teeth are suffering because of it. Starting to care for them now tho despite the anxiety. Here’s hoping it goes well!
Happening in Florida.
Now. In 2023.
It's not trolling. It's not street theater. They're fucking Nazis.
How about instead of the largely marginal and frequently imaginary "stop woke" horseshit, we focus on stopping the fucking Nazis?
More than 360 anti-LGBTQ+ bills are moving through state legislatures right now.
We are officially tracking more bills targeting the transgender community than ever before. Over 90 of those anti-trans bills are attempting to ban affirming medical care.
Need multiple tumors removed from the bottom of my feet in a few months. Really not looking forward to that. Had that done years ago and it majorly affected my mobility for months. Plus the procedure itself was torture. I was awake that time but this time that’s not happening.
Compared to New York—Florida has a 19% higher rape rate, 66% higher murder rate, & 280% higher burglary rate.
But rather than report facts, @nytimes frames DeSantis as "tough on crime." Legacy media has either learned nothing from 2016 or this is intentional clickbait for cash.
Recovering after my surgery. It’s amazing how much weed helps with the pain and discomfort. If only it wasn’t so expensive. Gonna be out for a while until I can afford it again. Really don’t wanna have to turn to opiates if the pain gets too intense. Hope it stays manageable.
Good and bad news on Tina. She is obsessed with her humans. She ran after me when I was out with 2 other dogs today on the bike. Same at home she sits 10cm from me staring for hours. She’s terrified of going back to the old way I think. Tricky few days ahead… (1/5) 🧵
