if you get an itchy swelling at your injection site it could be an allergic reaction! not to your hormones, just the needle! trauma to the skin, like needles, can cause your body to release histamine, causing an allergic-type reaction. I used to get the itchy bump after every single shot, so I started taking antihistamines (like bendaryl) 30 minutes or an hour before I did my shot and it stopped happening. it might be worth trying if it’s a problem you have!
if you get the itchy bump where you do your shot it’s most likely nothing to worry about. if it gets darker, bigger/more spread out, starts streaking, or gets very warm to the touch, call your doctor for advice. but that’s pretty unusual!
hi if you’ve been following my Sad Saga at all then you already know i have lupus and have been struggling to actually work and dancing with the social security administration while my physical health keeps goin down the tubes.
well this past tuesday (july 3) i went to my rheumatologist and left with a fibromyalgia diagnosis to add to my growing list of problems (after sleeping 14 hours saturday and then waking up sunday feeling incredibly tender). it’s getting increasingly harder to perform my job duties because half the time i can’t even walk – if you can call it walking, more like painful tottering from side to side – and i know at this point i am going to have to stop working but…bills.
all my money goes into phone and internet, paying for gas to get to and from work and doctor’s appointments, a myriad of prescriptions (and by the way, i may be adding cymbalta to that long list soon), and then three credit card bills. i get paid tomorrow (7/5) but half of that is going right to my phone bill and one credit card. the other two can wait until my next check in two weeks, but i still need the internet at least chipped at (it shouldnt be 171 but centurylink keeps trying to overcharge me). i also need gasoline because my commute is 40 minutes each way and i need my scrips refilled, and yes, i know about goodrx, but being on seven going on eight eats away really fast!!!

i used to have a youcaring but it’s gonna get absorbed by gofundme and i dont feel like dealing with them people right now. i’ll probably set it up soon but not today.
thanks in advance to anyone that reblogs and donates and has done so in the past!!! and if you personally do not suffer from multiple chronic illnesses that leave you unable to even move at times i don’t care about anything you have to say. thank you!
predictably, i havent been able to get my latest round of scrips and i desperately need my mobic and imuran right now, what with my pain intensifying by the day (we’re talking ten steps makes my legs and back hurt horribly). i’ve mentioned it before but i also have marked hypermobility issues that i now suspect may be linked to hEDS. unfortunately it could be another year and a half before i even get a court date for my disability appeal (and i’ve been appealing a year and a half already) so that’s fun. i got another $20 last night but i wont be able to get any scrips until i update my financial screening info, otherwise the meds i get from the hospital will be $114, and the $65 inhaler i’m on already set me back. i still have bitchin carpal tunnel in both hands and i’m probably gonna need another prednisone increase, and i still have another week and a half until my EMG on my arms. i’m STILL! WORKING! but i just can’t do full-time work right now; my doctors don’t recommend it.
so yeah, that’s an expansion on my sob story. obviously i get no joy from online crowdfunding but you all have saved my ass many times before so thank you all again. as always, keep it moving if you can’t be civil!
if you ask a right winger why a job like, say, sanitation worker has such an abysmal wage even though their job is necessary they’ll tell you that it is an unskilled occupation. we could contest that but for the sake of argument let’s concede.
by this logic, value is derived by how much labor is required to accomplish something, in this case the labor of learning the skill in addition to the labor of completing the task at hand. a doctor would earn a much higher wage because of the labor required to earn the necessary degrees to practice. okay.
but then if you ask a right winger why the price of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle of water is so expensive, despite these things being cheap and easy to make, they’ll tell you that value is not determined by the labor that goes into it, but by need and demand.
this inconsistency reveals how neoliberal economics functions: the value of something means whatever is most convenient to the ruling class.
There’s a new label pedophiles are using to defind themselves, SOMAP. This means Semi-Offending Minor Attracted Person. And guess what!! It’s fucked up!!
This disgusting blog made the term and is also into beastiality.
This is fucked up, and you know how much Tumblr LOVES it’s users? They aren’t going to do anything about these literal illegal actions. So, if you see someone calling themself a somap, this means they’ve probably done some fucked up shit!! Watch out guys, and please stay safe.
BY THE WAY:
if you think pedophilia is a sexual orientation,
if you identify as a MAP/SOMAP whatever,
if you support the age of consent being lowered,
YOU ARE NOT WELCOME ON MY BLOG. LEAVE!!
Edit: The blog, which I recommend blocking, is pinkpetal-pedo! Again, watch out and keep safe.
THIS IS DISGUSTING.
BOOST!!
tips.fbi.gov ! do NOT report to tumblr, they will only delete the blogs!
The logic of “antis will kill MAPs and children as they please” like no we’re literally just protecting children from horrific predators wtf????? Why would antimaps kill children to protect them, there is no basis for that argument and seems to imply that the children are as equally responsible for pedophilia as predators are??? Gtfo
