#HAWMC Day 18 Don’t say that!

On November 18, 2016November 17, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic Illness5 Comments

Today is Day 18 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

What’s a health cliché that really bugs you?
What are you tired of people asking you or saying to you again and again?
Write it down. Then reclaim it!
Take it back and turn it around so you make it something you could be comfortable hearing.

There are a number of clichés that really get on my nerves: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, “Instead of having a bad day, be thankful you have the day”, “Where there’s a will there’s a way”, are just a few.

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” – If this were true I’d be Superman by now! NO, what doesn’t kill you, doesn’t kill you. Period. You might learn something from it, but it didn’t make you physically stronger. Some people might be mentally “stronger”, others might break down completely. When something doesn’t kill you, well thank goodness it didn’t kill you. Instead of saying this, tell me how strong you think I am.
“Instead of having a bad day, be thankful for the day” – Why can’t I have a bad day and still be thankful? Everyone has a bad day and that’s okay. There is no way that someone can have a good day every day, and no one should make someone feel bad when they are having a bad day. I don’t believe my illnesses make my life miserable, but I do have bad days. I’m still thankful for my days, if they are good or bad. If you feel I’m having a lot of bad days and you want me to pay attention to what I’m grateful for, then just say something like, “What are you grateful for today?” and start a conversation, perhaps you can share something you were grateful for that day.
“Where there’s a will there’s a way” – In who’s world is this true? I have the will to do many things that I will never be able to do. Before I was sick there were many things I had the will to do that in no way could I do, for any number of reasons. This is just a falsehood, yet I hear variations on this all the time. I don’t know how to put a spin on this one. Let’s just not say anything like it, Okay?

Did I touch on anything that people say to you? What else do people say that bugs you?

#HAWMC 17 – Song of Silence

On November 17, 2016November 16, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic IllnessLeave a comment

Today is Day 17 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Throwback Thursday!
Grab a post from your archives and repost it!
Add a few sentences at the beginning to frame it.
Why you chose it. Why you liked it. And why it should be shared again.

The post I want to share with you again came from another Health Activist Writers Challenge on April 11, 2012. The prompt was “Theme Song”, I was to imagine my health focus or blog is getting its own theme song. At the writing of this post I was losing my hearing, but I hadn’t lost it completely yet. I did not have a cochlear implant yet.

I wanted to repost this because often people have no idea what it means to have tinnitus. Please note that my tinnitus will not sound like anyone else’s tinnitus, everyone is different. Even my tinnitus is different on different days. It sounds much different now than it did at the time of this recording. I want people to know that just because I’m deaf it doesn’t mean I just hear silence when I take off my cochlear implants. Here is that post, I hope you enjoy it:

I happen to be losing my hearing due to Meniere’s Disease. So music is very hard for me. I can’t really hear it even with my hearing aid, it sounds very tinny. However, I have tinnitus all the time, so I hear noise all the time. At this time I’m deaf in one ear, and have fluctuating loss in the other ear, the other day I was having a particularly low hearing day. Deciding my hearing aid really wasn’t doing any good, I decided to just leave it out. That was the day, I read this prompt. I thought, I couldn’t have a song. Then I thought, even when I’m deaf, due to the tinnitus, I will hear sounds all the time. NO, they won’t be sounds I want to hear, but I will hear sounds.

I talked with a friend of mine, Vincent Morrison, who is a sound engineer. He agreed to help me record something similar to what I hear every day. Please know, my tinnitus changes A LOT. It varies constantly. But these sounds always seem to be around. We did put in some of the startling sounds that just come out of no where that scare me. We didn’t make it as loud as it can be. (I did want people to be able to listen to it.) I wanted to represent that my tinnitus can be softer, a medium tone, and I would say deafening…but that would be silly wouldn’t it?

So on a better hearing day, my dear friend came over and he tried his best. I must admit I’m not the best person at describing sounds. I am so touched to have this recording. Trying so long and so hard to explain just a little of what I hear has been so hard, now…this is my song.

#HAWMC Day16 Activist Advice

On November 16, 2016November 15, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic Illness3 Comments

Today is Day 16 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Wisdom Wednesday:
What advice do you have for health activists just starting out?
Share your words of wisdom for all the health activist rookies out there!

I guess my biggest piece of advice would be to just get started. Just jump in and start. I’ve been blogging for years, yet I feel like I’m just getting started. I always feel like I’m just getting started, perhaps because I do little more than blog. Recently I started my facebook page, and I’ve started being active on Twitter. I’ve searched out others who posts about Meneire’s Disease, migraines, bipolar, chronic illness and pain in general. I’m learning so much!

I can’t do a lot of the things I’d like to do as a health activist. I’d love to be able to be a voice in person, to speak, to go to conferences, to be more involved. But alas, I can’t. I may try more in the future, but I’ll admit at this point in time I’m too afraid to try much more than I’ve been doing. It has been very rewarding though to get to know so many people who not only understand what it’s like to go thorough the same things I do, but are able to put a voice to it.

My recommendation for starting out to be a good activist. Start slow. Don’t bite off more than you can chew all at once, you will get burned out way too fast. Focus on one thing at first then move on to the next. If you blog, make sure to blog on a regular basis. No mater what form of social media you like, be sure to stick with it. Post often. Make contacts. Believe in what you are doing. Care. I guess that’s the biggest thing, that’s what will keep you going, you must care.

#HAWMC Day 15 – Favorite Health Advocate

On November 15, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic IllnessLeave a comment

Today is Day 15 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Time to spread the love.
Shout out all your favorite Health Advocates!
Make sure to share a few sentences explaining just how grateful you are for them.

Listing all of my favorite Health Advocates would take up a book. There is no way I can give a shout out to all of them in this tiny amount of space. When I first read this prompt I thought it read that I was to give a shout out to my favorite health advocate, and I thought that was impossible, but I thought of a way to do it, kind of. Listing all, really is impossible. Please see my post from Friday, Friday Follow, for a list of many of my favorites; there are still more, but that will give you a good start. Today I’ll just list a three blogs I’ve been following the longest that I feel are still doing an exceptional job.

Denise is an advocate for Meniere’s Disease, hearing loss and service dogs. She tells her story with wit and flare in a weekly post on her blog Hearing Elmo. There you will hear about her life with Meniere’s Disease, working and studying in academia, her family, life with a service dog, and her Faith. I’m proud to call her friend.

Madelyn writes at ADD…and so much more, as you can tell by the title she is an advocate for ADD…and so much more! Madelyn’s blog is a place for her to “let you know about new ADD opportunities and to post all kinds of seemingly disconnected content.” This blog is intended to help: anyone with an Executive Functioning Disorder. I don’t have ADD and I get so much from her blog. She is an ADD coach, has won a number of awards, and I think she’s just the bomb.

Kara from Polishing Dookie does an exceptional job making people feel comfortable with her illnesses with a sense of humor and intelligence that keeps you reading. Her tag line “Making the most of the sh*t I’ve got left” shows her sense of humor about her IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease). Kara takes you on a ride that is her life, and you will be happy to join her.

#HAWMC Day13 – Best Thing This Week

On November 13, 2016November 12, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic Illness2 Comments

Today is Day 13 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

What’s the best thing that happened to you this week?
Maybe you got great news or maybe ice cream was on sale-
write about it and relive it!

best-thing-button — image source click here

This week has been a challenge physically, and mentally. It hasn’t been horrible, I just haven’t felt good. I’ve been a bit wonky. Feeling off balance and having a hard time keeping myself upright. The election has made me anxious and panicky. As the week went on I started to feel a bit better. Good thing too because I got good news this week that I would be going out of town on Sunday. So today (Sunday) I’ll be visiting with friends.

It was so much fun planning the trip. Finding out that both friends would be home and would have time for me. I’ll see the first one in the early afternoon when I first get into town and the second will be cooking dinner for me. This is the most exciting part of my week! I get to see my good friend, her husband and son. We’ll have lunch together and visit. It’ll be grand. Then off to have a friend cook for me and my husband, and I’m finally meeting her beau. They’ve been dating for months now and I’m finally meeting him. I’m so excited!

I will admit there is a little apprehension when I’m going to see other people. What if I can’t hear them? What if I get confused? What if my head hurts too bad? What if I have vertigo?

Today I will not allow the “What if’s” to sabotage me. If something happens I’ll deal with it. The friends I’m seeing are the most understanding people I know, so there is no pressure there.

The excitement of knowing the trip is coming has been with me all week. As I’m writing this (yes, I’m writing this post a day early so I can go on my trip and not worry about writing it) I’m excited about seeing my friends and all the experiences I’ll have when I’m with them. I’m so grateful for this time.

What has brought you happiness this week? What are you grateful for?

#HAWMC Day 12 – Dear Doc

On November 12, 2016November 11, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic Illness5 Comments

Today is Day 12 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Time to get real. Write a letter to the best or worst healthcare professional you’ve seen. Don’t hold back.

writing-letter — image source click here

This letter is to the first doctor I saw for vertigo.

Dr. H,

When I first saw you I was filled with fear and longing to understand what was happening to me. I had just been seen at the emergency room after 12 hours of vertigo, accompanied with almost constant vomiting. It was there that I first heard the mention of Meniere’s Disease. I was told that I should see an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) to help determine the cause of my vertigo. So I came to see you.

You talked to me and gave me a hearing test and told me that I had Meniere’s Disease. You put me on a low salt diet and sent me home. I trusted you. Your staff was amazing. Your nurse had the best bedside manner, she made up for your aloofness. You were a busy doctor, I understood.

The vertigo continued to come back, over and over again. I kept coming back to see you. You continued to give me hearing tests. Yes they showed that my hearing fluctuated and I was losing some of the low frequencies, common in Meniere’s Disease, but this is the only test you ran on me. You said that putting tubes in the affected ear should help. Again, I trusted you. So I got a tube in my ear. It seemed to work.

After a couple of months the vertigo came back. The tube had come out. You said I should have a tube put in that stays much longer, but it requires general anesthesia to have it done. I had the tube put in my ear. I had this done a number of times. I’d have vertigo, it would be found that the tube came out, I’d get another tube.

After seven years of the merry-go-round of getting tubes the illness spread to the other ear. So once again I went under to get tubes put in both ears. This time the vertigo didn’t stop at all. I was miserable. I went back to see you. Something had to be done. You told me that you needed to send me to a different doctor because, you didn’t “know much about Meniere’s”. How could you treat someone for SEVEN YEARS and not know much about the disease? How could you even begin to diagnose someone if you know nothing about the disease?

When I found a different doctor, no I didn’t go to the one you recommended, I found my own. I found out that tubes are not a treatment for Meniere’s. It hasn’t been a treatment for many years. You really didn’t have any idea what you were doing did you?

When I started to get the information together to file for disability I requested my files from you and found out that you never put a diagnosis of Meniere’s Disease in my files, you put in unknown Vestibular Illness. How can you tell a patient she has a disease when you didn’t even put it in her files? Is this even legal?

I’m sure my story is all too familiar among your patients, unfortunately many may not even know that you are treating them wrong. I regret that I cannot stop you from telling anyone else that they have Meniere’s Disease. You should not treat people with vertigo. There are a number of things that could have been wrong with me that were not Meniere’s Disease, you just happened to be right. You did not order any vestibular testing or an MRI. You did not rule out any other vestibular disorders or a brain tumor. When presented with a patient who has vertigo you should send them to a doctor who knows more about it immediately. What you did to me is nothing short of neglect.

How can you play with people’s lives? Is having a big business practice more important than the patient?

I need to thank you for teaching me that I know more about my health than any doctor. I knew something wasn’t right when I was seeing you, I just didn’t know what. I had a feeling there should have been more testing, but I trusted you. I now know to never blindly trust a doctor. Before you, I would never have thought to do a lot of research into my disease. I would never have thought of firing my doctor. But I fired you.

I left your office and didn’t go back. Your office wrote me an email reminding me I hadn’t be in for a while and wanting me back. I wrote them back explaining my frustration with my treatment. I never received a reply. This is just more evidence that you think very little of your patients.

Please cease treating those who come to you with vertigo. Immediately send those patients to a doctor who knows more about vestibular issues than you do.

Sincerely,

Wendy Holcombe

#HAWMC Day 10 – Gotta Laugh

On November 10, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic IllnessLeave a comment

Today is Day 10 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Yahoo Answers Post – Pretend you are writing a question about your condition – it can be as silly or humorous as you want. Now answer it. (Remember: Your answer can be just as silly)

I can’t really think of questions like this, so I thought I’d list a couple of questions put to me that I think are a bit silly, let’s see what you think.

(mouthing words to me) “Can you read my lips?” I always think, “Is this some kind of game you play with deaf people?”

This from someone who knew I lost my hearing 3 years earlier. “If you can’t hear how can you speak so well?” What did I forget how to speak? Really, I had to laugh!

Now I just thought I’d share something that I misheard that we still laugh about.

Hubby and I were riding in a car and saw a sign on a church about Easter and Jesus Christ. I suddenly couldn’t remember things about Jesus and asked what he was other than the son of God. Stuart answered, but what I heard was: “Jesus was Jimmy Buffett”. I lost it. “What?” “Jesus was Jimmy Buffett???” I’m dying laughing and Stuart is trying to tell me that what he really said was that “Jesus was a Jewish Carpenter”. To this day in our house, Jesus is Jimmy Buffett. (please do not take this literally)

#HAWMC Day 9 – Ideal Place

On November 9, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic Illness3 Comments

Today is Day 9 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Happy Hump Day! No denying life can get hectic, but let’s take a mid-week break to fantasize our ideal day! Would you go somewhere? Who would you spend it with? Have you had this day? If not – how could you make it happen?

There would be a lot of steps to creating my 100% ideal day. Any one part alone would be a pretty darn good day, but put them all together and I’d have the day to end all days.

Wait! There are 2 different kind of days that I dream about. Both require the same beginning requirements:

First I’d wake up with no pain, then I’d notice that my head did not feel the slightest bit off balance. After I got over the initial shock of this, I’d dance around the room a bit, doing a pirouette for the first time in years. Suddenly I could hear better with my cochlear implants. I could understand a group of people if I wanted. I could talk on the phone. Speaking of which, on my ideal day, I’d call my best friend and talk for an hour or so. (I’d sneak in a visit, but I only have one day, sorry love.)

Okay right now I’m just marveling at the fact that my head doesn’t hurt. My head has hurt every day since I was 11 years old. My neck doesn’t hurt, the degenerative discs have made just holding my head up a challenge some days. All my aches and pains, gone! What a day!

Turning my head I don’t have to brace myself because I don’t feel dizzy. I don’t remember not feeling dizzy. Suddenly I’m not afraid. I know I have this day.

This is where my 2 days diverge.

One day is spent on a beach with my husband, just relaxing, building sand castles, riding bikes, walking, swimming, riding the waves, and drinking tropical drinks. Heck, just lying there drinking tropical drinks would be a dream. I’d love to end that day in my husband’s arms making love, without pain. That would be my ideal day.

cleaning-clip-art-pi5xggeib — click here for source

My other ideal day would be spent cleaning my house and cooking. On my ideal day I would not get tired I’d be able to really clean my house and cook a fantastic meal. I really miss being able to do these things. I know it sounds silly. Why would I want to spend my ideal day scrubbing my house? It’s something I can’t do now that I really want to do, that’s why. But I’d end the day the same way I ended the first day. Making love with my husband, without pain. Something I haven’t ever done.

Either of those would be ideal days for me.

What would be your ideal day? Would it be anything like mine?

#HAWMC Day 8 – I Know I Can!

On November 8, 2016November 8, 2016 By WendyIn #HAWCM, Chronic Illness10 Comments

Today is Day 8 of #HAWMC (WEGO’s Health Activist Writers Monthly Challenge). The prompt today is:

Little Engine Post. Write a list post with 10-15 lines that start each with “I think I can…” Write 5 lines at the end that start with “I know I can.” They can be big goals or something that’s been on your to-do list for the last few weeks- it’s all up to you.

I started writing this post and listed all these things under “I think I can” and realized that they all should be under “I KNOW I CAN”! This post will list a lot of things that are a challenge, but I KNOW I can do it!! It’s a pretty random list, things that came to mind as I was writing,and it’s in no particular order.

I KNOW I can finish this blogging challenge. (having a chronic illness can make every commitment a challenge, but I know I can do it!)
I KNOW I can visit two friends in one day this weekend. (this could prove to be a challenge. I will be visiting them after riding in a car for 3 hours. I hope all will go well. I really want to see my friends, I don’t have many and I don’t get to see them often. I know I can do it!)
I KNOW I can help cook sometimes. (I actually helped hubby cook on Sunday! Something I love to do, but has become too dangerous because of my disequilibrium and vertigo. However, on good days, I can still help!)
I KNOW I can keep up my blog. (there are times that I doubt I can keep this blog going. When my health interferes it takes so much to keep writing, but I know it is then that I need to write the most. I need to let others see me vulnerable. There may be times that posts don’t come as often as I’d like, but I know I can keep it up!)
I KNOW I can be the best advocate for me. (there is no one who knows me as well as I do, therefore there is no one who can advocate for me as well as I can. My healthcare team beware! 🙂
I KNOW I can have the courage to try new treatments. (sometimes I feel I’m done, I just don’t want to try any more. I know there is not cure. I’m tired of trying. But, I know I have the courage to keep trying. I need to try.)
I KNOW I can go on vacation with my husband. (We’ve been talking about going to visit family that lives close to 3000 miles away, I know I can fly and go on the trip. Crossing all fingers and toes!)
I KNOW I can go shopping. (With my hubby or a good friend I know I can go shopping. I just need my trusty walker and I should be good to go. On a good day that is.)
I KNOW I can take a bath by myself. (this really is an I THINK I can. I may not be able to. I have a lot of anxiety taking a bath or shower because of vertigo and overall disequilibrium. I am better with a bath than a shower. However, sometimes I still have vertigo start when I am in the bath and I need help, FAST. So I think I can take a bath by myself. That doesn’t mean I really can, so normally hubby helps me get in the tub and leaves me and I just yell if I need him.)
I KNOW I can have fun with my husband. (we laugh together almost every day, not matter how sick I am.)
I KNOW I can be a good friend. (I think I’m a better friend now than I was before I got sick.)
I KNOW I can live with this pain. (sometimes I doubt this, but I know I can do it! The pain from the migraines and the degenerative disc can be overwhelming at times.)
I KNOW I can be an advocate for others living with chronic illnesses, especially those with Meniere’s Disease. (I’m just a little voice in a large pond, but I’ll use my little voice as much as I can.)
I KNOW I CAN……
