CW: Disability/Health
So much happened today. I had my #neuromedicine
appointment. This doctor was fantastic. Listened to my full history, made a lot of notes, asked a lot of questions, then actually physically got into the examination. I have cerebral palsy but was never real long term care for it.She tested my reflexes, strength, range of motion, checked for pain, levels of sensation, all things you'd think would come up dealing with someone like me.
She thinks that there's a brain and/or spine issue affecting the left side of my body but that might just be the tip of the iceberg. But it's a direction for the first time in (probably) something like some of your lifetimes. And actual treatment. I could cry.
Someone finally listened and took the time to examine the problem instead of dismissing me as fat or lazy or trying to skate by on welfare. In 41 years, I can count on one hand the times I've had that.
And for someone like me, fighting with courts just to be acknowledged as disabled, it's huge.

"The degree of functional connectivity between #glioblastoma and the normal #brain negatively affects both patient survival and performance in language tasks. These data demonstrate that high-grade gliomas functionally remodel #neural circuits in the #human brain, which both promotes #tumour progression and impairs #cognition."
