"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"

"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you getting the picture?"

and this is why the social model of disability is necessary but absolutely the fuck not sufficient

look at that fuckin aurora!!

Welcome back to the 'don't look now but the sky's doing weird shit' part of the year

The aurora borealis (northern lights) as two distinctive shapes over a mountain. One purple spike into a more diffuse green wave. Both very clear and strong.

WOW

Amytiville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 4h

same.

out of curiosity, how are you with steroids like prednisone?

i used to be ok, just really grumpy, but last time it made me have a rage without the handbrake and i threw my phone so hard at the ground it snapped in 2 🤪 and gave me a spinal CSF leak

dexamethasone is not as bad

real PTs (not assistants) are some of my favorite people for this reason. you tell them "i think x" and then they check and they say "yes, x" because they just immediately verify it. and then they're like "COOL"

fun times during PT:

i was doing a band for my ankle using my other leg as the resistance

but my leg was bowing to the side

said to the PT, "hey tony, i think my knee is going sideways"

he came over, lifted my leg, jiggled it & said "yes it is"

and then called all the other PTs over to see lmao

they also have an incredibly toxic and counterproductive corporate culture. i knew a bunch of people who worked there.

it's amazing how corporations paralyze themselves

i've been saying they need a real "upcoming for you" list for decades

Amytiville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 4h

damn that sucks!

there are a bunch i can't take, but i'm lucky enough to have compounded benadryl and ativan

they don't!! especially bc usually people with that much rage actually want to inflict harm, bc they USE rage, whereas with us, it's like somebody injected us with a rage drug against our will. that's how i described it to my husband.

so unusual to meet somebody who really understands!!

yup! and ativan is a powerful mast cell stabilizer, you know?

i'm hoping a GLP1 will help with my ongoing inflammation issues

Amytiville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 5h

yes, absolutely. at times i resorted to hitting myself so i wouldn't hurt anyone else.

honestly ativan — taken only during an episode — is a total life-changer. it isn't a full off-switch but it turns it down enough to be tolerable. occasional use doesn't build a tolerance either.

it used to feel like being a passenger in my own body and i never wanted to be a violent person but there i was hitting (when i was still a kid) and then just breaking shit (as a young adult) and then just wanting to explode and die (as an adult with nearly-iron fist control)

Amytiville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 5h

that was me to a T. i'm so glad your kids have you & you all figured it out.

as i'm an adult, i learned to not DO anything during the rages but the self-control it takes is massive and it still feels just as awful

Amytiville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 5h

idk if this is even doable for a child but my neuro rx'd me ativan for gluten attacks. i am SO sensitive, way more than a celiac, & was getting exposed no matter what i did before i got my gluten detection service dog.

ativan stops the rage. i'm very big but only take a small dose (0.5mg)

they were SO AWFUL

they can still be kinda bad if you're not careful (i'm a supertaster for my sins, so very sensitive to Bitter)

devilish

Amytiville Hoyrror @amyhoy.bsky.social · 5h

that's really interesting! (but also, i feel you, and am sorry)

i used to always get the full mast cell reax — flushing and all. but i don't any more. it's changed, which is so weird.

for nuts, are you corn sensitive too? bc i found out many are pasteurized in corn-y solutions. but not all.
