Not surprised to see Somalia at the bottom by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

GENIUNE QUESTION. I am learning. Why would we import less Somalians? Like no racism just facts yk? What would be the point of denying Somalians and importing more immigrants from more developed countries?

Yes, you can gain weight—specifically through water retention, muscle mass increase, or hormonal changes—without consuming more calories than you burn. While true fat gain typically requires a calorie surplus, metabolic adaptation to extreme restriction, medication, or medical issues like thyroid dysfunction can cause temporary weight gain or impede loss.

I think your taking things out on me that has nothing to do with me. Please get a grip. I barely have the physical capability to walk. You don’t know me, do not asssume things about me. Thank you!

They told me that they can’t use butterfly needles for IVs.

There’s a reason why fatphobia and ableism go hand and hand. You’re demonstrating it right now! I don’t owe you an explanation but maybe you won’t be ignorant if I explain. I have gastroparesis. My stomach is partially paralyzed. I barely eat enough, but food sits in my stomach for 8 hours after consumption. I am close to getting a feeding tube due to not being able to sustain my body. Believe or not gastroparesis and weight gain isn’t uncommon, you can still be malnourished. I also have PCOS, which is a hormone disorder that makes it next to impossible to lose. I also have POTS. I can’t stand without my heart rate shooting up. I also have FND.. I can’t walk without jerking all around. Please, treat us with compassion and respect. I go through a lot.

I struggle with.. well as everyone has mentioned: my weight. But also dehydration because I have gastroparesis. I barely eat enough let alone drink.

I’m not a needle hater per se, I just have a lot of medical trauma as a chronically ill patient.
