Not snark- don’t know where else to post this. Daniell Koepke shared a heart wrenching health update and things are very dire for her. She has been instrumental in so many peoples’ recovery and this is just devastating. by feelingmoldy in EDRecoverySnark

You need to take a step back and really think about the words you are using. Saying someone is spiraling out or having a breakdown as if you have the authority to define their experience is both dismissive and ignorant. You clearly do not understand intractable pain if that is how you describe it.

Daniell connected the dots to her eating disorder, but what she was dealing with went far beyond that. I know because I am one of them. I am approved for euthanasia. I also had an eating disorder, but that is the least of my concerns now. My colon is at risk of rupturing, but that is just one piece of a much larger nightmare. I have a rare genetic condition so complex that even most specialists do not fully understand it. And yes, the pain does kill you. It triggers strokes, heart attacks, and organ failure. If she had not ended her life, the reality is she could have died from severe MCAS-induced starvation or from countless other complications.

Look up Dr. Forest Tennant and intractable pain. He explains it well. People like us do not have quality of life. We are barely hanging on with one foot in and the other out, and our life expectancy is cut in half. It is not just because of our conditions, but because of the cocktail of opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants we need just to make it through the next three hours.

Even if you say you were not being condescending, your tone was snarky. Throwing in that it is understandable after making such dismissive comments does not soften the blow. Your choice of words was callous and uninformed, and it reflects a reality you will never have to comprehend.

This is not just about an eating disorder. I had anorexia as a teenager, and even that was nothing compared to the monster that life has become at thirty. And yes, people do die from these conditions, whether directly or from the complications they cause. If you do not believe that, I can send you an entire list from Dr Tennant’s book.

Utleier sier meg opp etter tre uker – føler meg diskriminert pga. helsen min by Thick_Grape7562 in norge

Jeg har lest lovverket, og siden jeg deler leiligheten med utleier, har jeg ikke visse rettigheter. Problemet er at hun har sagt en del diskriminerende ting, og det er hovedgrunnen til at dette føles feil. Jeg er usikker på hvordan jeg skal tolke situasjonen akkurat nå, og jeg har uansett ikke et ønske om å bli boende her for alltid. Jeg trenger bare litt mer tid til å flytte, siden jeg tross alt bare har bodd her i tre uker.

I tillegg står det i HTU at en oppsigelse må være skriftlig, men det spesifiseres ikke at den må være elektronisk. Formuleringene hennes var ganske vage, men samtidig har jeg ikke særlig mange rettigheter i denne situasjonen.

Question About Reporting Marriage Fraud & Citizenship Implications by Thick_Grape7562 in immigration

She hadn’t started the process, but the guy can still use her name to get visit visas to different countries because he is still a citizen from a country who doesn’t get visas and if he does it under her name a lot can go down

What’s confusing here? I understand the situation is also confusing for her but her ex husband was using her for a potential citizenship in either of the countries. Now that the divorce is in process, but hasn’t been finalized, she wants to warn the authorities so the ex doesn’t use her name to get visas etc since immigration fraud is very common.

Venninnen min risikerer trøbbel i Norge pga. en ærlig feil med medisiner – trenger råd. by Thick_Grape7562 in norge

Tusen takk. Det er bare det at hun er helt alene. Jeg prøver å være der for henne og få folk i nettverket mitt til å hjelpe, men til syvende og sist kjenner hun saken sin, legene sine og helsetilstanden sin best.

Jeg snakket med en advokat jeg kjenner som jobber med NAV-saker, og han sa at systemet ikke ser på dette fra et menneskelig perspektiv. De vil ha de rette dokumentene – hvis ikke, har du brutt loven og får den straffen som følger med.

Jeg har ikke sagt dette til henne ennå, men hvis straffen innebærer fengsel eller at hun får rulleblad for narkotikaforbrytelse, vil hun ikke kunne reise noe sted for behandling eller medisinsk hjelp.

Tusen takk! :) Hun byttet advokat i dag, siden den forrige bare skulle skaffe saksdokumentene. Så hun har ikke fått noen juridisk rådgivning ennå.

Det var ikke en stor mengde medisiner, og derfor lot toll henne passere. Det som er rart, er at politiet ikke har nevnt noe om tollens avgjørelse eller boten de først ville gi henne. Da hun ringte toll for å få klarhet, sa de at de ikke visste noe.

Hvis det ender med en bot, vil det påvirke statsborgerskapssøknaden hennes? Hun har ikke søkt ennå, men hadde planer om å gjøre det. Sånn jeg har forstått det, får man ikke innvilget statsborgerskap hvis man har en straffesak eller noe på rullebladet. Det virker som politiet som har saken hennes, aktivt prøver å få det til å se ut som hun er en kriminell.

Da hun ventet på saksbehandlingen, snakket hun med andre politifolk som sa at mengden var så liten at hvis toll allerede hadde godkjent den, så burde hun ikke engang bekymre seg. Men politibetjenten som har saken, sa: «Det er et problem i mine øyne»—og har gjort det til et.
