I was described as someone subconsciously exaggerating and worsening my own illness for some kind of gain. Repeatedly told I donāt have a real illness. Denied tests. Told itās just PTSD.
Iām so stuck, and so sick; only getting worse while being denied basic medical care and testing to find out why.

The list of symptoms is so long I donāt have room to write them all here, but the doctors refuse to carry out any tests, insisting Iām just mentally ill and that medical tests will reinforce my deluded beliefs that Iām āactually illā and itāll make me worse and Iāll only come back wanting more tests
Health update: deteriorating terribly, itās especially bad at night, so much so that every morning I wake up I feel groggy and sick, sure, but relieved because it feels like itās not a guarantee anymore. The seizures and psychosis arenāt stopping, itās hard to breathe at night.
Painfully accurate
I laughed at a doctor to her face yesterday for implying I had Munchausenās. I do wish I werenāt so delirious as to lose my inhibitions but I also think, upon reflection, that she deserved it
Ah yes cute
10/10 like you
If you ever get sick in France LEAVE FRANCE immediately. Worst medical system on the entire planet youād probably get better care in Saddam Husseinās hiding spot and you have to pay for the privilege
Need an automated message to everyone on all my social media accounts to say Iām sorry if I didnāt wish you a happy new year I just have some kind of brain disease and also hit my head on the floor earlier during a seizure #egghead
Breaking news : criminal activity reported at the Christmas dinner table
Miranda dressed in black in a wheelchair in the trainās wheelchair spot. Why are my pupils so dilated? My mum asked the same question. In fact so did my neurologist before concluding I probably just look like that all the time. I do not.
In spite of objective clinical signs my neurologist concluded that I am likely suffering from āpsychosomatic illnessā and has effectively discharged me. Not ideal. I was even offered a bed at the psychiatric hospital. Anyway. At least she prescribed me a wheelchair. Broom broom. #swag
I spend most of my time in bed on the worldās most irregular sleep schedule eating snacks because I donāt have the energy to sit up for meals three times a day. Itās not fun. I mean, the snacks are nice I guess, but I do miss life. Iām not getting any treatment so Iām looking for a second opinion.
I havenāt posted in a while but I donāt have much in the way of positive updates, just getting sicker. Struggling to walk still and having increasingly frequent episodes of confusion, forgetfulness, slurred or difficult speech, migraines, spinal pain, palpitations, chills and tremors. All quite odd.
gimme dat soop
Cute calico cat at the table waiting for soup
My cat Biscuit patiently waiting for a bowl a soup
genocidal freak state couldnāt even uphold a ceasefire for a matter of hours, more at 10
In better news we got a cat tree for miss Biscuit š
Been sick for seven weeks and usually try to avoid staying in my pyjamas all day just to feel more ~alive~ but some pyjamas are simply too BOO-tiful š»
I have some fairy lights downstairs when I have the energy Iām going to bring them up and put them on the shelves but I can only do one household task a day hahaha
The massive cow Squishmallow Iāve called Isla is being used to try to prevent the catās entry and access to my guitar, flute and potentially the shelves because she can JUMP
I did however find a cheap rope shelf set online and found the energy to hang it up and now my corner of the room is very cute
I saw a neurologist who did an incomplete examination and wrote on my prescription that it was probably psychiatric however I had a *non-psychiatric* sign of a central nervous system disorder. Iād say āmake it make senseā but I feel so ill I donāt care, I just want treatment. Hereās my walk lol
Hello all, still very sick and struggling to walk, however my cat is still very cute so itās not all bad
Hospital wheelchair with pink seat
Quite rapidly losing the ability to walk so had to get a CT scan to rule out a stroke and I got to ride in the slaymobile broom broom

Apologies to @gcmh.bsky.social whose spot has been taken
He sounded angry at me for calling in the first place and said to just go to the GP. My apologies for being under the impression that suddenly developing an abnormal gait and feeling like Iām going to pass out all the time was somehow not urgent
If youāre wondering how today is going I phoned the urgent medical advice line bc Iām getting so ill and the doctor kept interrupting me and finally asked if I always talked āstrangely like thatā and when I asked ālike what?ā he said āare you foreign?ā

@ptrtlrwrts.bsky.social Ed Davey is beefing with Elmo on the bird app
As I canāt really go out anywhere Iāve dedicated my time and money to spoiling Miss Biscuit with online purchases (excuse the mess I kind of live on the sofa when Iām not asleep lol) #catsofbluesky
