This is more of a rant than anything, but I realized that my parents and myself did the bare minimum at keeping me a functioning adult. I can’t fully put the blame on them, I could’ve advocated for myself but I didn’t.

I have tetralogy o’fallot paired with DiGeorge syndrome. My DiGeorge syndrome is causing me to have a serious thyroid issue (hypothyroidism) and it’s freaking me out.

My parents only cared about keeping my heart healthy or functioning, whereas DiGeorge is my endocrine system as a whole. It makes it difficult to fight off every day diseases. I was sick so much last year because of this I think.

Now I’m having a thyroid panel done tomorrow so I can stop freaking out. I don’t wish hypothyroidism on anyone if that’s what this is.

I’m losing weight, my hands are swelling, my back and joints ache like a 60 year old man, not to mention how tired I am constantly. Goddamn this sucks.

Anyway, thanks for listening.
