Surgery is to figure out what’s causing some symptoms. Could be relatively benign, or could be much worse, but we can’t treat til we know what’s up with her.
Currently she also seems fine and healthy with very few signs of issue, but we want to make sure it stays that way.

When I move I’m going to be back with the PCP I saw for years who has always been amazing. But I will miss this office.

At the time, I was helping Eva to set up a mutual aid for her and her service dog. We were talking nearly every day. While some of it was focused on the mutual aid, we spent a lot of time chatting about MS, disability, meds, our lives, our animal etc.
I absolutely considered her a close friend.

Hoping that once the move is over, I’ll be able to have a better and more permanent streaming set up. I will be literally doubling the size of my apartment.

I feel that so much, I saw the sleep specialist because my normal insomnia became so much worse. I hope you’re able to figure out what’s going on.

Highly recommend. Saw one myself after the year of sleep deprivation from insomnia absolutely wrecked me. The first half of this year I really had no working brain. I’m finally starting to get enough sleep to be a person again.

I am actually overlapping with my current apartment about a month and a half. So I will still be dealing with moving stress for a while.
But it was extremely likely I’d be turned down for this apartment, which has made it a very stressful few weeks.

I just knew I was extremely uncomfortable with the idea of me being pregnant. It wasn’t til after I realized it’s cause to me my body shouldn’t be able to.
So my gender euphoria really was everything, & is a super valid way to realize your gender. Dysphoria is not a requirement to be trans.

At that time I saw no other afab femme non-binary people. So the gender euphoric took me by surprise.
It’s why I’m so loud about it now, so others like me will have an example.
I also realized I do have dysphoria, but…I had to figure out that I’m non-binary first.

I was describing it to a friend, at the time identifying as “non gender conforming cis woman”, and he told me it sounded like some of his non-binary friends. I tried the term for myself & had instant gender euphoria.
Part of why I had trouble is that at the time, about a decade ago…

To start with, I’m non-binary trans. It took a long time to figure this out, as my concept of what a woman is came primarily from someone who is likely not one.
Over time, I realized that while my own identity feels very set and fixed, it doesn’t match society’s concept of “woman”.

I wanted to add a pithy closing statement, but honestly I’m fatigued on so many levels.
So a couple final reminders: “ally” is action, not an identity. And the A does not stand for ally, it stands for ace, aro, agender.

It’s *exhausting* to just face that level of hate, to have to search out and read up on all the ways it’s manifesting, to have to front the work to alert others about what’s happening to us.
We also can’t just leave, moving is expensive and where are we moving to?

(She’s already been diagnosed and is on meds, so may just need an increase. It’s just yet another thing to juggle)
