Well. I finished my #BellsPalsy meds about the same time my #knee & #back pain returned.
A coincidence? Do #steroids stop #joint & #arthritic #pain?
I know that my Dr said they weakened my #immunesystem, so I guess they might be why I still have #Covid.
#Dinner tonight? Comfort food for my better half - anything with barley or #PotatoGems.
So it’s a weird stew of pork sausages, tomatoes, carrots, peas, gems & barley.
My half of the bowl will definitely include some #WorcestershireSauce
When I had my first appointment with my new #doctor, she asked me to take off my #Crocs.
I did, but I asked why as she looked at my feet.
“Looking at your notes I was expecting you to have the same level of #arthritic #pain in your #feet as you have in your #hands.”
“No, they’re fine” I replied & wriggled my toes for her.
All these months later… Guess what?
Yup. So far it’s just the big toe on each foot.
*sigh* #arthritis
I used to think being a #writer would be so romantic and blissful. The reality is sitting in a cold room wearing gloves for my #Arthritic hands, drinking copious amounts of decaf coffee, and not knowing if anyone will publish the current #WIP (work in progress).
I wouldn't trade it for anything. ❤
@rabia_elizabeth @actuallyautistic I find it overall a need for balance - as both too much and too little structure can cause trouble. I need to get up within 5 hours of sunrise, eat within 4 hours of waking up and sleep at least 4 hours/night, beyond those limits I've problems.
Food limits though for me are more sizable and my habits in having the same food frequently at least somewhat show rigidity. It isn't that it'll put me into a worsened setup if I don't eat the same few things that are my "normal" but rather that between food allergies, religious dietary restrictions and energy/mobility limits from my medical problems will not have me able to make all that diverse a menu, but it's broadened sizably since I got married & will keep doing so slowly. #autistic #arthritic #DDD
OK, I guess an #introduction is fair play.
Hi! I'm Tim, and I'm a colossal #nerd. The world is a bit #horrible at the moment, so I mostly post #strange and #goofy things, and try to avoid thinking about reality. Yay #escapism.
I'll take #kind and #hopeful over #gritty or #grimdark any day. My wells of despair, cynicism, and rage run very, VERY deep.
I'm a #writer, #editor, #TTRPG dev, etc. I read a lot of SFF, watch calm YouTube vids, and play pleasant games my #arthritic hands can cope with.
