I think my collarbone just relocated. Its been sore for weeks, and I felt a sudden, painful click.

My hand was on the back of my hip with my elbow pointing outward. I was just walking and felt the pop.

EDS is so unsettling.

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

Good riddance.

Still miserable today. I have pushed my body too far, and my body has revolted.

I took my Tremfya dose a little early, and took a Tramadol and 2 Ibuprofen along with my nightly meds to see if that helps.

I feel like my very life source has drained out of me. Wish me luck.

I'm feeling a little emotional. Graduation is about 6 weeks away, & I can feel my body trying to shut down. I'm tired down to my soul. I won't give up, but my body wants to. I could use some encouragement.

@Corbienest THANK YOU!! Omg these jeans are not flattering on ANYONE!! Not only does the ankle taper make everything above it look bigger, the leg shape also exaggerates the effect. Ugh, they look like clown pants.

@Thevictoria76 It took them 10 to 12 business days to reach the end of it. 🫩😴

Official graduation date is June 29, 2026. Top honors, no student debt. A member of 2 different honors organizations, and positions on both the Deans list *and* the President's List.

Life spent 42 years biting me, but I bit back harder.

@BroWire_ We don't know who paid for what or what happened outside the video. But my guess is the groom has major anger issues. Its justified to feel slighted, frustrated, or annoyed. It's not okay to destroy something important to her... both the moment and the cake. She will be next.

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

I was laying with with the dog and started to scratch her shoulder, which gets her back leg going.

I paused, then started scratching her shoulder again.

As she lifted her back leg again, she tooted twice in a row, cartoon style. I'm talking full-blown whoopie cushion.

Lots of thoughts tonite. Made it into Society for Collegiate Leadership & Achievement. I feel accomplished.

But something is amiss. Anxiety? Doom-scrolling? Chronic illness? Impatience?

Can't quite put my finger on it.

When you have POTS, sometimes happiness comes in the form of A/C, a good fan, a cooling neck tube, and an ice pack.

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

POTS is wild.

I got overheated, so I put a cooling tube around my neck. That thing was frozen SOLID. It was like a chunk of stone.

I've had it on for maybe 15 minutes, & it's already melting. Water is actively dripping down my neck.

And that's WITH an ice pack in my lap. 🥵

My school has officially accepted both PLAs, knocking 2 classes off my schedule.

That will save me 10 weeks of work and thousands of dollars.

YES!

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

Does ANYONE know why I lose Internet on my Windows 11 laptop for hours after I restart it!?

I have tried EVERYTHING. I have scoured the internet, asked an IT expert, and Googled like a madwoman. Drivers/firmware are good, everything's fine. No dice.

Help!!!

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

I will never NEED a man, but I might want one if he's a good person. That said, I've been with this one for more than 6 months, and his dog is currently draped across my lap, twitching in her sleep.

Bliss.

Side note: I kicked Spotify to the curb forever & I'm using Amazon Music now. Spotify was way too problematic for me. I transferred all my music in 10 minutes, and I feel kind of comforted. Sometimes it's the little things. I'm still sad, but at least this went my way.

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

I got my genetic test results back. This wasn't a "Direct to Consumer" test like 23 and Me. I have to work with my doctor and my genetic counselor.

Anyway, my test was totally negative. It showed NOTHING.

This feels like a dead end and I could really use some encouragement.

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

I've had 3 infusions + 2 injections of Tremfya. Now I'm having a Crohn's flare. The pain definitely isn't as agonizing as it usually is, but it's still not good. Should I still be having pain this far into treatment? #Crohns #Spoonie #IBD #Biologic #NeedAdvice #Ouch

[🎀Deanna Brownlee🎀 @dee62383]

Just finished an 11-hour study session. A personal record. But I will gladly do it so that I never have to enter a romantic relationship to survive.
