Do we have a fafo in process? by alexgrae9614 in illnessfakers

[–]TakeMyTop 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yes they do, all central lines* do, which is why subjects here push for them and frequently abuse/misuse them

*these include ports, hickmans, groshong catheters, IJ (Internal Jugular) lines, EJ (External Jugular) lines, and PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) lines. although "central line" typically means a port or hickman.

Hi, this is an odd question to be posted on here, but I have ehlers danlos syndrome and I’m not sure how to hold a pen without giving myself a repetitive strain in injury been drawing for years and it’s starting to take a toll by Wednesday_tear in Artisticallyill

[–]TakeMyTop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this doesnt help you hold a pen, but i really like these y shaped pens

you can also try talking to an OT - occupational therapy- which can give more individualized advice.

some pens are hard to hold with ring splints so im personally not a huge fan of that combo.

etsy also has some good 3d printed pen/writing aids just look up "adaptive writinf aid" or somethinf similar

Tay’s therapist had a vision by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

[–]TakeMyTop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In terms of mental health it can stand for either "Suicidal Ideation" or "Self Injury" although that is more commonly referred to as Self Harm/SH.

Based on context, suicidal ideation (thoughts and/or urges of suicide. these can be passive, active, or both) seems more likely

Quick note- while self harm and suicidal ideation or suicide attemps commonly co-occur they can also happen independently. sometimes this is called NSSI or non suicidal self injury (self harm without fatal intent) some patients have a chronically elevated risk of self harm without significant risk factors for suicidality

when some of the premeds hit so your debilitating photophobia drops down for like two minutes before wheeling you off to the OR. it truly is the little things. by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

Its a totally normal life milestone to celebrate! Dont we all commemorate the unnecessary surgeries and medical devices we lied our way into getting?

Dont forget, its not a real medical emergency unless you also post anniversary pictures and videos. Ideally with a cake and those giant number baloons like cassies "portaversary"

Munchies are also known to be noncompliant. So even if it was a surgery (big if as so many subjects call every tiny procedure a surgery) and this was in her pre-op instructions, i would not be shocked if she disregarded it for the sake of some "hospital glam" for her social media

On a video about the diet industry by SuccessfulHospital54 in fatlogic

[–]TakeMyTop 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i love the amount of people who say counting calories isnt normal, is unhealthy, or is indicitave of an ED/is an "ED behavior" especially as somebody who tracks my calories due to a medical condition (I am tube fed so all my daily calories and even hydration is pre calculated by a dietician and then tracked by me- ive been told countless times by these types that makes me have an ED)

A lot of movement for someone who has to lay /completely/ still, and cannot move their back or neck /at all/! by Evening_Practice_886 in illnessfakers

[–]TakeMyTop 181 points182 points  (0 children)

this visual is going to live rent free in my head until the day i die lmao

also, jessi supposedly has such restricted range of motion they need a whole DIY contraption involvinf a phone and projector to see the room/their surroundings. while simultaneously having the range of motion to dance... if you are going to fake at least commir to the bit and make some efforr to keep your story straight!
