Hi. I'm keeping this page up for now. But I'm likely going to change it a lot following certain health revelations. Namely: While it is not entirely out of the realm of possibility that there is something pathelogically wrong with me, no evidence has surfaced in the years, and years, and years, of testing and professionals I've been through. What has likely been the source of my physical deblitation, and what will likely continue to slowly deteriorate my body until I die, is some form of conversion disorder. Meaning, that my physical health problems are a manifestation of a childhood wrought with emotional and violently physical abuse, neglect starting in infancy, and starvation. My brain and nervous system and skeleton are physically deformed as a result of abuse. I might talk about this more on here. In fact this is probably the only place I really can talk about this openly, or at least feel like I can. But for right now, consider this entire section of my website on hiatus so to speak, as I continue to process this.
Much love.
Hello my friends!
This is the little corner of my website dedicated to health.
I hope that you can find something helpful to you on this page. I'm very interested and passionate about medicine and health, so you'll see a lot of info about topics related to such here. If that bothers you for any reason, I suggest turning back now and heading back to the menu.
I'm someone who struggles with several debilitating conditions, mental, physical, and neurological. I won't go too deeply into that here, but here are some basics to know (if you're at all interested). I have been very ill since I was a very young child, and I live with a chronic autoimmune illness that doctors have yet to exactly pinpoint. It affects my daily life and my mobility levels. Because of this, I use a cane, rollator, and wheelchair in my day to day life. I spend a lot of time in bed. I'm currently unmedicated for any of the issues that I live with, but I'm in the process of recieving further treatment.
Aside from these physical issues, I am also autistic. I am also the owner of a pretty long wrap list of mental illnesses, though I am in moral disagreement with the DSM-V. I use these diagnoses as way to connect with community, and as a way to easily communicate the symptoms I struggle with under universally understood umbrella terms, not as a means of identifying myself. I hope you can understand.
I'm always open to answering questions, either about myself or what vague knowledge I hold regarding medicine in general. While I've been both formally educated, as well as self educated for several years, I am by no means a doctor, so any advice I give should be taken only as that - advice from a stranger online.
Thanks for visiting!
