Sooo, the cultural obsession with avocado toast is what, exactly?? I'd rather have chips and guac, I think!!
Here's my problem with the biopsychosocial and/or medical model of (so-called) mental illness: It doesn't take "mental illness" to imagine a scenario where a woman comes home from a weekend in jail to an empty house and then attempts suicide. But if that's your only frame then...
Very glad to have access to a 2-year psychoanalytic fundamentals course- and on Zoom, even! And. Class from 7-8:30pm on Thursdays through the Big Dark is 😬😭
Oh my god. OH MY GOD. Uhh, this guy at the historical society in Wichita just called and said they just put my foster care/adoption records in the mail for me. It's 135 pages. Which they took pictures of and scanned onto a jump drive. A HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE PAGES
Omg. Inflammatory markers came back high (or, just one single point still within limits in one test). Tell me again how I have a syndrome famously defined as *not* inflammatory and not an autoimmune condition??? 😑
I should say, it wasn't all awful. We're doing repeat inflammatory marker labs and testing for celiac and doing an MRI of my hands once I'm more symptomatic- so that's new. Also she did sound willing to try a DMARD as a rule in/out test after we do the MRI. Thankfully.
Also, fuck the tender point scale entirely to hell 😤
