Excuse me while I scream into the #NESVoid

I'm supposed to have my endoscopy and colonoscopy on Tuesday.

Today I woke up with the worst UTI I've had in a decade, visible blood, pain, etc. All the classic but severe signs.

Never mind that today's schedule doesn't have time for an ER visit, but I had plans I was looking forward to.

On top of this, I am on ozempic, which may interact with antibiotics, and I'm due for my shot today. #Venting #Frustration #ChronicIllness

Trying to find joy/hope while #ChronicallyIll is really working my last nerve atm.

New meds have everything flaring, and everything is not being hyperbolic.

I am no stranger to dysphoria. I've had it most of my life, even before gender was something I was questioning.

Tonight is taking me for a loop. It's been about 4 nights that I was questioning if my ankles/feet were swollen and I couldn't quite tell.

Tonight, I have full on cankles on top of marshmallow feet.

I started to cry when I first noticed they were so swollen that I have a little roll on top between my ankle and shin.

idk if it's because I usually see this on ill and/or bigger folks, or it's bringing up my fear of worsening illness...

idk

Sigh

1) I was not going to do an end of the year post, but 2023 reminded me how long I have been living with this. Here is hopefully my final thread about some of my certain experiences in grad school as well as the academic #ableism.

Försöker dock fokusera på glädjen i att jag klarade det i ögonblicket. Har inte gått sådär på år och dag. Visserligen rullat liknande med rullstol men det är mer en aerobisk övning, att klara drivet och tempot. Gå är mekaniskt konstigt. Smärtan efteråt går inte att jämföra, den slår ut all ork och allt kognitivt.

(Saker som borde arkiveras under #nesvoid eller #disability men det verkar inte finnas en skandinavisk motsvarighet)
