I really need to get my ass in gear and see a doctor for my hypoglycemia and eczema. Who else procrastinating on their health?

Just had another low blood sugar attack. I hate them, they always ruin my day and leave me feeling so drained. All I want to do now is sleep. It's so bad when they come on I feel so weak and tired. Ugh, ugh, hate it.

Not to mention I need new glasses too. But it's such a pain to get anywhere when you don't have a car and a shithead for a father who's just as lazy as you are.

  • Put off until after the holidays:

    • general checkup
    • new pair of glasses (current ones are putting too much pressure on my ears)
    • colonoscopy

    Getting older sucks 2/10

  • I am, somewhat.

    Had some mental health stuff pop up lately, as a result I’ve let some physical stuff sorta fall by the wayside. I have COPD, with yearly lung function tests done in December. Also have one of my 3x yearly endoscopy procedures done in December since by then I’ve hit my deductible and out of pocket max limits for the year and the larger procedures are covered fully.

    Just so happens that while I was in the mental hospital was the time period for my lung function tests done and final endoscopy. So I missed those. Since I didn’t do my lung function test I can’t get a couple prescriptions I use daily. I have a few weeks left but it’ll take me a month to get rescheduled and back in to the lung dr office so I’ll end up with a week or two without my daily inhaler and likely end up having to visit an ER and hit up a nebulizer and steroids.

    So, yeah.

  • My front tooth chipped and then bits have been flaking off here and there (I lost a chunk biting into bread ugh). But I maxed out on what insurance would pay for 2024 (I had to have a crown and root canal done), so I've just been putting up with it for the last few months.

    I'm hoping I don't lose the whole tooth. There's a small crack going down the middle which is how this started.

    • I need to get a passport so I can go down to Mexico on a small vacation and get my teeth fixed, have a few wisdom teeth, one of which desperately need to go and a broken molar yanked and the last time I went to a dentist they quoted me at like $2500 for the rest of my wisdom.

  • I've had a hemorrhoid for 3 years so uh that I guess. I have a doctor I'm just too shy to tell her that I got butthole issues you know?

  • I dragged my feet on the whole Healthcare Marketplace thing, so no insurance this year. Granted, I'm sort of a fuck up, so I haven't had a primary care doctor in several years.

  • I also have both of those issues and ignore them pretty heavily. Eczema in my fucking ears. Being in a car dependent area with shitty public transit makes it really hard to actually get seen for anything

    • I got eczema in my scalp, on my chest, and now in my groin and it itches pretty badly there. I'm hoping to see a specialist who could get me on one of those medications you see all the time on tv commercials for. I imagine my hypoglycemia is going to have to be diet and lifestyle changes, should probably quit vaping too.

  • I need to start running more. A lot of my lifestyle choices were built around the fact that I ran or did some other form of exercise nearly every day. But over the last year or two I got depressed and lazy and gained a bunch of weight. Need to really start working out more, for a lot of reasons.
