Did you know that if you have a vagina and take methotrexate, a medication used for including rheumatoid arthritis, that it can cause reoccurant thrush?

Meaning yeast infections that keep coming back after being treated?

Do you know how to treat reoccurant thrush?

Pessaries

Medication shoved up your vagina

Every day

FOR SEVEN DAYS

And then once a week

FOR 3 TO 6 MONTHS

CAUSE I SURE AS FUCK DIDN'T

NO ONE THOUGHT TO INFORM ME OF THAT WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR THIS MEDICATION

I'm on my period and it's the worst I've experienced since I got my uterine lining burned off years ago

Its like my body has finally figured out it can't make me bleed all over everything and so is getting back at me by making me feel like wolverine punched me in the tits

I am on day 24 of my period and day 9 of it being heavy flow and I’m starting to get dizzy and nauseous whenever I stand up for longer than a minute

I REALLY do not feel good

And my period just seems to be get heavier and more clotty

I have a phone appt with the doctor tomorrow and I know there isn’t a lot they can do but surely they can offer me some more advice then to just wait it out

My gynaecologists appt isn’t until the very end of October. September/October is Husband’s busiest time and Kiddo is in school and I am meant to be starting back with the Open University

I can’t afford to be unable to stand for any real length of time without feeling like I’m either going to pass out or puke

Fuck everything

TMI warning about being on blood thinners

Okay so I’m on blood thinners and I am also a lactose intolerant person who will quite stupidly still eat icecream

I also have IBS type issues thanks to my Fibro (yes that’s a thing)

So what this means is occasionally I get a bit of the shits for no particular reason other then life

But now that I’m on blood thinners it comes with extra consequences

What I’m getting at is that if you’re on blood thinners and have a bit of the shits some 12 hours afterwards you’re going to bleed from your ass heavy enough you’re going to think at first you started your period again (if you have a uterus)

It’s very very alarming even if you know that it happens

It’s only an issue if it doesn’t stop but it usually stops completely almost as fast as it appears

So just...be AWARE because I wasn’t and the first time and had to see the doctor about it and THAT WASN’T A FUN APPOINTMENT LET ME TELL YOU

This has been a public service announcement

Health TMI

So I’m shitting blood now

So that’s great...

Going to the doctors soon to figure out why this is happening

But seriously can my body give me a fucking break!?

PERIOD TMI

You know what’s annoying? When your period starts and you KNOW it started because you can feel it and when you wipe the evidence is there

AND YET it somehow not enough to actually get on your pad for most of the day so you know that this day doesn’t count towards your total

YOU WERE FIVE DAYS LATE BITCH

DO IT PROPERLY AND LEAVE ON TIME

At dinner I got very excited talking about the Apollo Missions and space exploration in general to Kiddo and my husband very subtly pointed out my math kink

For clarification I was talking about how I appreciated the math involved but I couldn’t understand it and Husband (who has a degree in physics) said “Mummy really likes that I’m good at math”

Completely went over Kiddo’s head of course but I was vividy reminded of times I have asked him to solve equations while other very enjoyable things were happening

How weird is it to get off on a person doing complicated maths in your direction?

It’s very weird isn’t it?

*sigh*

Sometimes I read porn and it’s really clear it was either written by a Straight Dude™️ or by a woman/girl who doesn’t have very sensitive tits

And I know this because they write about having really sensitive nipples is like the Holy Grail of sex. Like if someone has Very Sensitive Nipples will definitely make sex feel 1000% better and orgasms everywhere

When in reality if you have Very Sensitive Nipples and your partner tries to touch them during sex you will probably punch them because that shit goes from “feels good” to PAIN way too fast

They aren’t that fun.

Seriously

Being in your thirties means you start falling asleep halfway through masturbating instead of after you finished

Marry someone who will go to excessive performative lengths to pretend they can’t hear you having a shit in the hotel bathroom just so you can.

Joys of Chronic Pain and being over 30

Good news: I got laid last night and it was really really good! Bad news: My back is really fucked up today I suspect these thing are related
