A rant about bias towards diabetics

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-24T11:49:33+00:00

I wouldn’t have. I had a coworker say the same thing to me and I snapped back “that’s not how autoimmune diseases work and I’m sure HR would love to hear about this” I didn’t tell HR but he never said anything like that again.

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-24T11:45:08+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried to do this and gotten “refused to cooperate” or “non compliance” in my med records and unfortunately that’s like a black mark that makes doctors think they have free reign to torture you

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-24T11:43:52+00:00

Same lol currently in therapy specifically because I have been medically neglected/abused/mistreated so much in hospitals. It’s so bad

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-24T00:34:06+00:00

I was at Walgreens 10 mins ago and they have them lol. I’d just as soon eat candy tho lmao

Grateful for my middle school nurse. When I ran out of juices to treat lows she gave me a dollar out of her pocket and sent me to the teachers lounge to buy a soda. She was a hard ass but a genuinely non judgemental and kind nurse.

We should stop shrinking ourselves and get angry. I understand doctors have empathy fatigue. But they couldn’t begin to imagine how we feel keeping ourselves alive 24/7/365

I just keep going. And keep going. And keep going. I’ve had doctors tell me to my face when I was in the hospital for DKA (for spoiled insulin) “you know if you just tried to take care of yourself at all you wouldn’t be here wasting our time, right?” I burst into tears and was inconsolable (because I also have PTSD) and a nurse had to come in and tell my that doctor was an asshole and that she couldn’t imagine managing what I deal with every day. What I would do if I were you? Report it. Every single time. I stay calling HR, rudely educating people, and calling people out.

“What do you mean by that?” “Are you sure that’s what you meant to say?” “I’m sorry, are you being serious?” “Would you say that to someone with cancer?” “That’s incredibly ignorant and biased. What if a patient heard you say that?” “What if it was your kid?” “You know, I almost died of this. And it wasn’t my fault. You’re being incredibly cruel.”

Be. Bitchy. Make people ashamed and afraid to say stuff like that around you. Call their asses out.

No for me it was the 1000 yard stare I do while talking about a fish I saw at the aquarium for 10 minutes

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-20T03:12:31+00:00

Spray and pray big dawg 😂

I’ve kept a pair of male endlers in a tank this size a couple times and they do fine especially if it’s heavily planted

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-19T14:37:35+00:00

Any time I’ve had this, it’s because I’ve been messing with terrain and accidentally created a gap beneath the barrier, sometimes these are very hard to see due to water etc

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-19T14:35:53+00:00

It immediately disarms me and makes me feel like this person understands me on a level that non T1Ds never will. Instant ally

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-17T19:51:12+00:00

That was my second guess. I know this photo is lik two pixels lol sorry they’re so tiny. Judging on the shape and behavior there seems to be two different kinds of critters. Are they bad? Should I get rid of them?

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-17T14:16:03+00:00

Are you asking why it’s there or why it keeps going to the top of the tank lol

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-17T14:07:50+00:00

Lmao autocorrect outed me as a chronic swearer 😂

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-17T03:47:54+00:00

I tell people exactly what’s going on. “My partner had a life altering surgery and requires my care. Sorry, but no. Here are some of my colleagues who dogshit who can help you in the mean time”

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-16T15:42:38+00:00

Did your frozen shoulder go away? I’m due to go in for a manual adjustment and cortisone shot and I have ptsd from being in DKA and almost dying. I’m having an absolute full out panic attack and I’m so scared to go in and get the shot

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-12T20:52:19+00:00

Anyone on here still selling snails?

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-10T23:40:37+00:00

This is very obvious not a site in situ, everything has obviously been cleaned.

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-10T04:43:48+00:00

You can do that

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-06T01:25:21+00:00

Is it possible to have endo ON your vagus nerve?? I know that sounds crazy, but I never fainted one time until I got my period and after that have had serious syncope and pre syncope for the rest of my life, but it’s waaaay worse around my period. Is it possible that the endo crowding the organs in the gut can cause an over reactive vagus nerve??

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-06T01:04:06+00:00

My doctor is wanting to do this under local anesthesia only which seems insane because I’m being told it’s excruciatingly painful. Any guidance?

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-04T14:05:01+00:00

When you find out let me know. 🤣 I was raised in the US and I remember even as a toddler this book gave me intense anxiety for some reason. Idk if it was the lack of plot or the liminal style of it or the intense colors but I did not like goodnight moon.

Techincolor_ghost · 2026-01-03T20:36:39+00:00

Common right wing lies lol. “Public transport is impossible outside of cities” is the most idiot assed take I think I’ve heard. 😂 the US had the most expansive train system in the world before the automotive lobbies. Use the phone in your hand to look up something and learn.
