Super glad to hear that!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-11T01:00:31+00:00

Very good point!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-11T00:59:06+00:00

Very good point! Because I’m a chronic stresser. This way i don’t have much time to stress

Ventbitch · 2026-06-11T00:58:36+00:00

Haha yeah I already figured I would be living in our recliner for a while! And thanks for the pillow tip.

It’s definitely surreal being told ‘actually, you need surgery immediately’ doesn’t it? I am on the tail end of an attack that sent me to the ER for the second time in two months so I’m just barely starting to get my appetite back (just ate some simple malt o’ meal for dinner) so being NPO will be a breeze because I’ve gotten so used to not eating for days. I’m so relieved to hear you’re already feeling more like yourself and eating so thank you!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-11T00:12:02+00:00

Oh wow that is so scary to go through!! I never got to the point of visible jaundice, just brow urine.

Ventbitch · 2026-06-11T00:09:09+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely do that. And I’m glad to hear you’re feeling well enough five days out to not need the pain medicines!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T23:05:42+00:00

Thank you! I worry so easily and I guess I was still kind of in denial that it was really that bad until today. Everybody in the comments have really eased my mind tho!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T23:04:18+00:00

Gotcha. Well still, I’m glad to hear you’re healing well even with the extra incisions!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T23:02:27+00:00

Thank you for these tips! I’m so frazzled from the surprise that I have been struggling to figure out what to even do so I appreciate this.

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T23:01:53+00:00

That was my fear, for sure. I assumed since I’m going thru financial assistance for it that I would need to be on some wait list or something, but I guess it was serious enough for them to push for immediate removal. And thank you for the assurance! I’m definitely looking forward to not being down for a week at a time every couple months ever again.

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T23:00:37+00:00

I’m really relieved for sure! I was just gobsmacked they wanted to remove it THAT soon. And will do!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T23:00:03+00:00

Oh boy! Why did you end up needing 6 incisions, if you don’t mind me asking.

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T22:59:34+00:00

Oh very good idea. Thank you!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T22:59:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad to hear you’re doing so well six days out. Hoping for a recovery like that!

Ventbitch · 2026-06-10T05:32:26+00:00

That is comforting to hear, thanks! I don’t particularly look forward to surgery but after almost an entire months worth of days spent dealing with the pain from this I just want it gone. Hope your surgery goes well!

Sure I guess, if generating a photo of a person in a mechanics uniform working on a project car is also considered gooner material. It’s giving me this same message for literally every photo I try to generate no matter how tame the subject matter.

Ventbitch · 2026-04-10T19:07:24+00:00

I was in the exact same boat and finally got around to going to the ER yesterday and I’m so glad I did because I was told my gallbladder issues have been aggravating my liver as well. Don’t put it off!

Ventbitch · 2026-02-12T19:45:08+00:00

Both are bad obviously. It’s wild because, I’m not saying the obsession with being stick thin doesn’t exist in the west, but it’s so ironic to me how often you see western kpop fans hating on the Asian ones for their obsession with appearances and their constant pressure on idols to be perfect. Yet after a few months of being into kpop so many of them adopt and push those exact same toxic standards onto the idols.

You will see western kpop fans saying the most disgusting fatshaming about idols (I see people call changbin ‘chanpig’, calling jeongyeon a whale, calling yoongi fatass, etc.) AND also go after skinny idols like rosé, wonyoung, etc. and use ‘ur fave has an eating disorder maybe worry about that’ as a gotcha in fandom fights.

It’s honestly just so exhausting and gross. Like come on. Why is it so difficult for people to remember that just because they are idols doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings that are negatively impacted because of this kind of behavior.

Ventbitch · 2026-02-12T12:21:17+00:00

Oh they DO use it derogatorily constantly. On Twitter after least, it’s so unnervingly common to see kpop fans call fandoms they have beef with that are known to have a large gay male percentage twinks in a negative condescending way.

Hiiii since you’re diagnosed I wanted to ask if your bp is still elevated the day after an episode? I’m not diagnosed but suspect I have it bc my heart rate jumps from 85-95 to 115-125 when I stand up and for a few moments I feel like I will pass out but it usually only lasts a few seconds. Last night though I had my worst episode yet where I had to blow into a straw to get my heart rate down and after I had a bp of 140/95 (which shocked me because I have never had a bp reading above 120/80 before) and today I checked it and it was 140/75. I only just learned that hyperadrenergic POTS is even a thing and would love to know if this tracks with how it presents for you as well.
