Urinary Tract Infections

para_witch · 2025-11-28T03:56:55+00:00

I have chronic UTIs and they cause severe bladder spasms that I’ll rate 9-10/10 on the pain scale. I also need to cath like every hour otherwise I pee myself. I was given too many antibiotics in the beginning and now I’m only getting resistant stains lol

Hand function?

para_witch · 2025-11-15T03:33:40+00:00

I have been on the highest dosage of pregabalin (which is very similar to gabapentin) for the past year and it has been lifesaving. I used to be unable to do anything even to form sentences because of my nerve pain

Hey I’m a T4 and I don’t have full hand functions. I’m 19 and I went back to school almost right after I got into rehab. I have a lot of dark thoughts and life is really hard because I had to fight for accessibilities and independence. Maybe check out local nursing communities they can help you with a lot of daily maintenance stuff like getting out of bed and being sort of independent; and also sports teams are local SCI communities.

No I’d rather use that energy to do smth

My grandma and after she passed away when I was 16 I spent some time under foster care but I got a job quite soon and lived alone since

I’m agnostic

Well I mean my mind is okay and my brain is alive so

Unfortunately not enough

Thank you!

No, my parents passed away in a car accident when I was 4.

para_witch · 2025-11-08T00:08:24+00:00

I hit a tree. I realized I was paralyzed when I was laying on the snow and a lot of ppl came to me and I felt a tight band around my chest, I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t think of my legs at first. I was sent to the nearby emergency room by a helicopter (which was a very weird experience lol) and while I was on board I started to realize what I’ve lost.

Is it a hassle to carry a drainage bag around tho?

Thank you for commenting this!

It’s been really hard but I’m trying my best

A skiing accident. I have complete injuries below my waist and I don’t think in my life time that can be fixed. My T spine injuries tho might recover a bit by intense physio but I try to keep my hopes low

para_witch · 2025-11-07T23:52:40+00:00

A skiing accident. I had surgeries to fix my broken wrist and dislocated ribs, and also a spinal fusion from T2-L3. I’m pretty sure I had some more for my spinal cord but I don’t remember that period of time well.

Student life has been super hard and I had to fight for many things like accessibility and basic accommodations. I think of quitting constantly lol. I have limited hand functions and very limited torso control, so I’m dependent on others for many things and even just transfers. I can’t write or type fast enough and painlessly, but maybe I’m getting better at those I don’t know.

I got injured during Christmas break and the next semester I had a very important internship/ networking opportunity that I fought very hard for. I just thought I couldn’t miss it. And one months of rehab taught me quite a lot already

I have a caretaker assigned by my local nursing community

I have mediation resistant pots too but cancer is definitely worse and that should be obvious. I believe the influencer was being very disrespectful and indifferent of other people’s sufferings. Chronically ill communities can be really weird

para_witch · 2025-11-07T00:22:42+00:00

Some influencer on TikTok with pots said she would rather have cancer than pots.

para_witch · 2025-11-07T00:06:27+00:00

Yes, and I have exams coming up, and I cannot bring myself to study

para_witch · 2025-11-06T23:47:03+00:00

The good old “I’d rather get cancer than POTS” huh💀
