@chronicallybeee God too real, people love to ask if I’ve tried keto or paleo or FODMAP or or or etc etc diet for my Crohn’s instead of medication & I’m like…weirdly when I can’t eat anything bc my guts are attacking themselves it’s hard to maintain a diet, hence the shitty immunosuppressants
@redsnootsilver I know Ritalin works for a lot of people, but it gave me “extreme unaliving thoughts” as the kids might say, like out of nowhere in a way I’ve literally never had before, so probably worth knowing that’s something that can happen going in (I did not, it was very alarming)
@redsnootsilver Might be, I’ve had people just put it in like that a LOT, & also quite often I have to tell people to do that BECAUSE it was easier to just put spaces in everything, so now if they don’t use a space it doesn’t match, it’s infuriating
@redsnootsilver Do NOT talk to me about camel case last names that aren’t English, it has been the bane of my existence to have to tell everyone “it’s L-E-capital C no space but every piece of my ID has a space because that’s how systems read block letters so just spell it wrong”
It’s also horrifying that apparently this was only put on the PBS for Crohn’s in 2023??? Like it was covered for cancer or arthritis, but bowel disorders were a late breaking addition, so I guess ppl were just…paying that, before? Jfc I’d still be pooping my brains out
Shocked anew every time I get a delivery of my Crohn’s meds & see the full price of 2 pens is $558.66, when thanks to me being Poor it actually shakes out at $7.70, which the pharmacy didn’t make me pay anyway, bless the PBS and all who sail in her (my Yuflyma injections)
@chronicallybeee I have fortunately never actually hit one but I know people who’ve had their cars totalled by one coming through the windscreen, & they’re one of our most common forms of roadkill, absolute nightmare
@redsnootsilver lol I did mine yesterday & then was like TIME TO EAT SOME DAIRY & INDIAN FOOD, HOPE YOU DIDN’T GO OFF DURING THE 4 HOUR DRIVE UP THE COAST
@Brocklesnitch I just became eligible for the vaccine due to starting immunosuppressants for my Crohn’s, & I have no idea why all adults aren’t just given it, like yeah I’m at higher risk but so are most ppl over 30 who had chicken pox! Sort it out guys! (also god I’m so sorry, it sounds Bad)
Most of the other 4,000 or so minutes was @ChappellRoan because she’s fabulous to listen to in the car, & also I am in fact a big ol gay in case you couldn’t tell
The funniest/most telling part of my Spotify Wrapped is that well over half of my listening is from me putting random @EmptyBowlShow episodes on so I can sleep every night, thanks lads for being a life raft of calm in the sea of one of the worst years of my life ❤️
@stuntinondezho@shogglastresort@_lizharvey I work in IP law bud, no I can’t find a single use for “intellectual property stealing but make it garbage” that makes me feel good about it
@lezscum @macaiyla Big same on the rosacea/no eyebrows, & I just do not bother anymore, like part of it is definitely gender stuff for me but also I’m so sweaty & I HATE the feel of stuff on my face, freeing myself from feeling bad I wasn’t performing “WOMAN” right was a huge relief tbh
@redsnootsilver Rheumatologist update on this: I asked today & mine said there was no contraindications with eating raw fish/eggs/steak/etc, idk if that’s reassuring for you but I’ll take it lol
