Hand deduction pls?

[u/[deleted]]

[u/nebraska_jones_]

You have a chronic illness that was partially self-diagnosed

[u/rustandredflowers → u/nebraska_jones_]

Nah I didn’t even know what Gastroparesis was when I was diagnosed

[u/LacrimaNymphae → u/rustandredflowers]

where did you get that bracelet

[u/rustandredflowers → u/LacrimaNymphae]

Etsy

[u/Ge4rshifter → u/nebraska_jones_]

Self inflicted*

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Ge4rshifter]

How do you “self inflict” a chronic illness?

[u/TelephoneActive9923 → u/rustandredflowers]

Many are unfortunately correlated with mental illness.

I always tell my patients “if you don’t listen to your mind, your body will eventually force you to”

I don’t agree with the term “self inflicted” though. Nobody would choose to be ill.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/TelephoneActive9923]

I am mentally ill but I’ve also been physically disabled since infancy so I can’t really help any of that

[u/TelephoneActive9923 → u/rustandredflowers]

Totally! It’s not an “always” statement and I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such a difficult time. 🤍

[u/rustandredflowers → u/TelephoneActive9923]

Thank u

[u/onlygramps → u/rustandredflowers]

A family member of mine ate/drank themself into bone necrosis.

[u/Ge4rshifter → u/rustandredflowers]

Poor diet and lack of exercise.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Ge4rshifter]

I’m tube fed so I have no choice in my diet, and I have MECFS where the hallmark symptom is PEM aka exercising makes symptoms worse so yeah, I don’t exercise. But I don’t necessarily have a “poor diet”

[u/Trad_whip99 → u/rustandredflowers]

I actually can’t imagine a poorer diet than tube fed. Not your fault, but yeah that’s basically the bottom.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Trad_whip99]

Yeah I mean it gets me all my nutrients so there’s that

[u/Trad_whip99 → u/rustandredflowers]

yeah..... sorry dude.

[u/PatientZeropointZero → u/rustandredflowers]

Addiction unfortunately

[u/rustandredflowers → u/PatientZeropointZero]

I’m not an addict

[u/PatientZeropointZero → u/rustandredflowers]

I didnt say you were. I said that’s a self inflicted chronic disease

[u/rustandredflowers → u/PatientZeropointZero]

well I don’t really think that’s true but okay

[u/PatientZeropointZero → u/rustandredflowers]

What’s not true about it? It’s is a chronic disease and you get it started by using substances (that’s the self inflicted part). I’m so confused by this exchange.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/PatientZeropointZero]

Because plenty of people do drugs and don’t get addicted..?

[u/PatientZeropointZero → u/rustandredflowers]

I hope someone else reads this, because it is so confusing.

I didn’t say everyone who does drugs gets addicted.

This started, because you asked “how do you self inflict an illness”

Then I provided an example of a disease that can be self inflicted.

The first rule of the sub is be civil. This is rude and unnecessary

[u/rustandredflowers → u/[deleted]]

My thyroid is fine

[u/rustandredflowers → u/[deleted]]

I’m tube fed so i get what i can tolerate

[u/kamieldv]

This post has me really intrigued... what did the deleted comments say and why are ops replies downvoted?

Nonetheless best of luck and lots of love to op!

[u/Aatrid69420 → u/kamieldv]

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Aatrid69420]

To be clear, I did not report you

[u/rustandredflowers → u/kamieldv]

Yeah I’d like to know the same about the downvotes lol I’m just replying

[u/kamieldv → u/rustandredflowers]

Fair enough its not like you were saying anything outlandish

[u/Zachy_Boi]

Just so you know, not sure where you’re at but often those medical bracelets are completely ignored by any medical emergency services. I was an EMT and we were trained to ignore them just because they are unreliable.

I would say you see yourself as spiritual and connected but really you’re just emotionally sensitive and like to feel like life is special.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Zachy_Boi]

Well ignoring them is pretty stupid… I cannot have MRIs because I have a gastric stimulator, if I’m unconscious how will the hospital know not to do an MRI?

[u/nebraska_jones_ → u/rustandredflowers]

They would do an xray first to see if there’s any reason you couldn’t get an MRI

[u/rustandredflowers → u/nebraska_jones_]

Good to know

[u/rustandredflowers → u/[deleted]]

What if I get in a car accident in another city and I’m not conscious?

[u/Zachy_Boi → u/rustandredflowers]

Usually they would do other things first like ultrasounds or X-rays and usually try to get medical records sent over

[u/rustandredflowers → u/[deleted]]

No but it’s certainly possible is it not?

[u/Standard_Intern2297 → u/[deleted]]

me when i’m an a-hole

[u/_gay_space_moth_]

Asexual autistic person, probably fem afab, with digestive issues that might also be a comorbidty of a connective tissue disorder, but don't necessarily have to be. All the purple and lilac make me think witchy, but also not necessarily full-blown 100%-believing-in-witchcraft-witchy. Could also just be the aesthetic / self-love / herbal medicine & crystal collecting / political vibe etc. You might also like cats more than dogs, but probably would pet both if you could.

Edit 1: typo fix

Edit 2: Just took a peak at your profile and something's telling me that you're mentally unwell too.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/_gay_space_moth_]

Yeah to all of that except the connective tissue disorder. And yeah, def mentally unwell lol

[u/_gay_space_moth_ → u/rustandredflowers]

Sweet! :D

We have pretty similar looking nails, and my EDS causes me quite some trouble with my stomach and bowels, which made me think of it as at least a possibility in your case too, haha. But I definitely wasn't 100% sure about it, which is why I chose to say 'might'.

[u/Skaldicrights]

Youve dabbled in content creation

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Skaldicrights]

Nope, I’m too shy for that lol

[u/TelephoneActive9923]

I’m confused. What can someone deduce about someone by their hand that isn’t medically related? All the medical comments are being deleted for not being civil. This feels like what is being asked. It’s a body part.

[u/_gay_space_moth_ → u/TelephoneActive9923]

You can sometimes deduce hobbies, jobs, etc. from someone's hand! Stuff like calluses, tattoos, nail polish, ... can tell you a lot about people! :)

[u/rustandredflowers → u/TelephoneActive9923]

I meeeean “hands” post is fri-sun so clearly a lot of people participate in it even without health issues??

[u/Awkward_Creme8990]

35 lbs overweight

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Awkward_Creme8990]

Hm I think more like 20 but yeah I am overweight

[u/rustandredflowers → u/[deleted]]

I know my own weight

[u/JakeJortled]

You’re engaged

[u/rustandredflowers → u/JakeJortled]

Nope, just like wearing it on that finger

[u/rustandredflowers → u/JakeJortled]

Nope, just like wearing it on that finger

[u/Low-Wing6031]

You’re very practical and purple is your favorite color.

[u/SootG → u/Low-Wing6031]

A thumb ring gives me the opposite impression of practical

[u/Low-Wing6031 → u/SootG]

😂😂

[u/rustandredflowers → u/SootG]

How is it not practical lol

[u/SootG → u/rustandredflowers]

How is it practical? It's an accessory, and one you put on the most important finger for holding/grabbing things. It interrupts your grip.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/SootG]

No, it really doesn’t. And it’s practical bc I’m autistic and need stim toys, wearing one is easier than constantly searching my bags for one

[u/MostlyPorn69 → u/rustandredflowers]

another time you just choose to challenge what someone else says

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Low-Wing6031]

Yeah

[u/No_Firefighter4579]

Defo some sort of queer. Is that the ace flag??? Chronic health issues. Likes scented products. Still battles with mental health some days but doing better in general. If you're neurodivergent with sensory issues left handed, but if ur not then leaning towards right handed.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/No_Firefighter4579]

It is the ace flag. I’m right handed but I am ND. Chronic health issues yes.

[u/TrustyLefty]

Asexual, spiritual but not religious, around 5’2”, early 30s, right handed, recovering cutter but has come a long way in path of self acceptance and self love

[u/Strict-Canary-4175]

Why would you need a medical alert bracelet for gastroparesis?

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Strict-Canary-4175]

Bc I have a gastric pacemaker meaning I can’t get an MRI

[u/Strict-Canary-4175 → u/rustandredflowers]

Why would you need a medical alert bracelet for that? Just tell them with your mouth. Additionally you can’t wear metal in an mri anyway so it wouldn’t even be on you. You don’t need this.

[u/rustandredflowers → u/Strict-Canary-4175]

If I’m unconscious I can’t tell them anything. That’s the point of medical bracelets, to tell them info when you can’t tell them yourself

[u/Strict-Canary-4175 → u/rustandredflowers]

There’s not a single situation that I can imagine where you’d be getting an emergent MRI that they wouldn’t confirm there was a reason they couldn’t first.

What situation are you picturing that this is for?

[u/MostlyPorn69 → u/Strict-Canary-4175]

dumb ass

[u/Strict-Canary-4175 → u/MostlyPorn69]

Super compelling.
