I hope this week treats you gently and all your needs are met.
Friendly reminder to please use
spoiler tags and content warnings [cw]
for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear’s Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:
Alt Text of image
Alt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the “spoiler” option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads “Type here to comment…” in white italic font
After clicking it, substitute the second “spoiler” with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
No doctor has officially diagnosed it. I keep being told to exercise and to sleep less by every medical professional I saw which both make everything worse. My last doctor told me “everyone is tired” and that she’s also in pain lol.
My only known covid infection has left me housebound and made all my chronic health issues worse, to a point where I can’t ignore them or push through anymore. This was about two years ago.
I do remember getting thyroid tests done due to fatigue and weakness (I think these were blood tests tho), but those came back clear just like every other test I was put through the past six years.
I’ve basically checked out of the medical system, I’ve been imparted so much trauma and got basically nothing substantive in return. So if I have cancer it’s unlikely it will be treated. I fucking hate doctors so much.
I understand how you feel. I would check out of the medical system too, if it weren’t for the fact that I need thyroxine to stay alive and I need medical support notes for benefit claims.
