Idk what it is, but something is making me vomit. And I’m itchy. Last time I puked this hard I ended up in the hospital with an intractable headache. I went to the ER then bc my head hurt so bad *something* had to be wrong. Neurologist is pretty sure I’m leaking CSF, and I’m scared to make it worse.

I don’t get hungry often. I’m usually pretty nauseated at this time of day. I’m confused. What is my body doing? Do I feed it? I’m so bad at being a functional human.

I’m not sure how the combination of videos I’ve been watching has generated the ads, but the only ones I see are “fuck the democrats” or ads for children’s toys. Occasionally one for the FNAF 2 movie.
And when it thinks I’m not paying attention it’ll give me 2 hour televangelist sermons.

Fucking hell. I go to reorder my pump supplies for the first time and I’m told I need a PA. They’re gave me one in September. “Sorry, the insurance isn’t letting it go through. It needs a PA.” Fuckhead on the phone won’t even try to do anything.

Someone needs to make a case or clip for the twiist that makes it look like a pocket watch. I think it would look pretty neat.

How do I know my depression is coming back for real, for real? I’m craving spicy food. I hate spicy food. I don’t think my food should hurt, and I’m very sensitive to spice. Until I just bought hot sauce there was none in the house at all.

I didn’t want to change my pump site tonight but my damn cat chewed my tubing.

I had a myelogram yesterday. They stuck a 4” needle into my spine. They said I’d have some “mild discomfort” today and just take some Tylenol.
Y’all, it hurts a LOT. I’m remembering, about 24 hours late, that injected lidocaine takes forever to kick in for me. I should’ve mentioned it. I forgot.

Today at work the techs were talking about how none of us have gotten any emails about open enrollment to our company’s insurance. Turns out HR didn’t send it because none of us can afford it. $900/month.

Atlanta weather is so not for real. What do you mean the high tomorrow is 39, but we’ll be back to 70 by the weekend? Be serious.

Literally nothing that helps diabetes has ever helped me as miraculously as others. I’m on a high-dose glp-1 but have the same insulin needs. It just works more reliably. Basal IQ and Control IQ both sucked for me. It’s early days still, but I have 91%TIR with twiist so far. I could cry.

I never talk about my insulin usage, but I feel like I have to. My TDD while on MDI was around 200u. Sometimes more. Letting this pump call the shots (!) today I used 120u and keep going low.

I started my twiist pump today! How long until my brain stops telling me to take my basal shot every night?

My biggest concern with going back to work after weeks off for my headache (still without answers or treatment) is people expressing their concern for me. I hate being perceived at all and concern makes me uncomfortable.

I found the diabetes Barbie today. With deals it came to a little over $8. I have zero kids in my life, so as toys go on sale this season I plan to donate as many as I reasonably can. I’m not a JDRF fan but I am a fan of representation.

I hardly ever eat out, except for the same 4 places I trust. I met a cousin for lunch 45 minutes from home, away from my usual places. The waitress seemed really knowledgeable about their gluten situation. I had to stop 8 times to throw up on the side of the road going home. 😩

I’ve been feeling awful. I hurt. I’m tired. I’m dizzy. I don’t want to eat and I’m always nauseated.
I’ve lost about 5%of my body weight in a week.
I hate everything.

In no order, a list of beverages I get nostalgic for:
Hi-C Ecto Cooler
Diet Coke with Splenda
Diet Lime Coke
Pepsi One
Diet Grapico (no longer sold near me)
Surge
Every variant of zero sugar Mountain Dew I’ve had exactly once and never again.

I’m not saying that complaining on the internet is always the right choice. I am saying that under *some coincidence* after posting a scathing review of the twiist insulin pump rollout under their ads, mine is being shipped tomorrow.
