😳 - What's the most embarrassing question you've gotten?

I don't know. I don't get embarrassed easily.

🙄 - Who made you eye-roll recently?

I'm answering these at the beginning of August (2017) and right now this Wattpad story I'm reading is making me roll my eyes so fucking hard. 


😱 - What was your most surprising diagnosis?

That I have PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome). My ovaries like to get fucking cysts on them all the fucking time. It explains why I'm overweight and can't lose the weight, why I had extremely heavy and painful periods, why my periods were irregular as fuck (I would get it every 2 to 6 weeks somewhere in there), why my periods would last 10-14 days, a bunch of other PCOS symptoms I had. 


😭 - What was your most heartbreaking diagnosis?

None of them. I have ADHD and PCOS. But to be honest the most heartbreaking diagnosis I had was when I figured out I'm allergic to guanfacine. Guanfacine is an ADHD medication. I had no problems on it. I could sleep just fine while taking it. I could eat without wanting to throw up. I had no problems with except for the fact that I am fucking allergic. The one ADHD medication I have no typical symptoms with and I'm fucking allergic to it.


🤕 - What illnesses do you have?

I don't have illnesses unless you count ADHD and PCOS. I wouldn't count either as an illness. 


🤒 - How do you feel right now?

I feel indifferent. So the same as always. 


😷 - Do your illnesses ever cause physical symptoms?

I already said I don't feel like ADHD and PCOS are illnesses. As far as physical symptoms for ADHD, I get irritated extremely easily, I fidget, I repeat myself a lot (but people generally aren't listening to me the first time I say something), I can't focus easily, I forget what the fuck I'm doing, I get mood swings, ect. As for PCOS symptoms, I used to get (I started taking birth control to combat the symptoms) extremely heavy periods, long periods (10-14 days), bad cramping to the point I spent a few days before and the entire time of my period throwing up, irregular periods that would come anywhere from every 2 to 6 weeks, overweight and trouble loosing weight, fatigue, insomnia (one of the things that contributes to my insomnia problem), abnormal hair growth in women, mood swings, etc. 


🤐 - Do you have a diagnosis you're embarrassed to say?

No. I literally just shared information about my uterus with you guys. 


😲 - What is the worst you've felt?

I've felt pretty bad in the past. I struggle with depression (although not officially diagnosed). It's got really bad before and it's not stuff like to share with people because my mind goes to a really dark place. 


💀 - What pain metaphor do you use / if you use one?

I don't have one. 


👎 - What branch of medicine did the worst doctor you've ever had practice?

He wasn't a doctor but a nurse practitioner and he was fucking awful. He works at my family doctor office. If I can't see my doctor I usually have to see him. Well, I'll tell you a story about him. I went in because I was pretty sure I had strep throat. It was confirmed that I had strep throat. What do they use to treat strep? Typically penicillin. Problem? I'm fucking allergic to penicillin. I told this nurse practitioner that hey I'm allergic to penicillin. He still tried to prescribe me penicillin 5 times. He tried to convince me that I was okay to take penicillin even though I'm fucking ALLERGIC to penicillin. I walked out of the room and I actually happened to run into my family doctor out in the hall while she was on her way to see her next appointment. I had her tell the nurse practitioner that yes, I am highly allergic to penicillin. Then, it finally clicked through the dumbasses mind that I'm allergic to penicillin and can't fucking take it. Like seriously where the fuck did this dumbass get his degree.
