Rainy & Writing

https://kathycyrwriter.wordpress.com/2026/09/27/rainy-writing/

When I was very young, 8 years old or so, I went to my great-grandma place in Burgundy, in a small village in the countryside. It was summer and some night the garden was full of fireflies.
It was beautiful and magical.

I learned recently that the population of fireflies in France has been reduced by 80%.

Maybe my generation is the last generation to see a summer night of dancing fireflies in Burgundy. It's tragic.

Sorry, I'm not putting any CW.
From time to time I see comments from (mostly) Americans freaking out about finding dirt, a spider or a slug in some salad and I find that attitude bothersome to me.

We're not the only being sharing this planet, and it doesn't bother me much when there's a bug in my food (depending on the bug), if there's a hole in my apple I'll cut it until I find the bug digging in it and put it aside and eat my apple. We're not the only beings on this planet

I bought a kg of dates fruits at the grocery store. They were pretty dry but dates are always really good. I stopped eating them when I found a larvae in one of them (I guess the english word is maggot but I don't like that word, "asticot" is cuter). Anyway, I put the box aside and to my surprise it wasn't a fly that came out of it but a cloth moth. I haven't seen that kind of moth in forever but I'll have to put it outside before it starts eating my cloth or my flour.

I let the spiders in my place make their little nest in the corners and we had a pretty good cohabitation for the last year. I haven't had mosquitoes since they started living here.

But now it looks like they died, idk why (maybe from the AC?) and I have mosquitoes again.
I'm a bit sad, it looks like all my spiders died. They're really cute spiders too, the ones with really long and thin legs. I miss them.

Anyway, I have an appointment with a teacher on visio tomorrow, but I don't feel like going to sleep bc a fking roach came upstairs with the cat food and hid under my bed.

YOU!

The moment I see an antenna you'll feel my wrath!!

How dare you!!
This is my bed! I'm not sharing it with a roach!

(I don't have a roach infestation but the bug people who come to stick a dollop of poison on the wall told me some flats in the buildings had full-on infestations)

When I do math/physics exercises at home I rarely get anything wrong but I can't manage more than 3/20 during most finals.

I can't fully articulate how frustrating it is. I have the knowledge, I know I can solve it. But for some reason during the finals, words I'm reading don't make sense and I can't find the words to write down as answers and the knowledge is there, it's very close but I can't reach it.

It's so frustrating.

I can feel the part of my brain that are causing problem (i've always been able to, so never found it suspicious) and since it's only on the left hemisphere, I'm learning to write with my left hand in the hope that even if my memory and my understanding of language go on strike next final, I might still be able to write.
It's not much but it would be something.

It will be in early-february 2027.

So after the finals.

I have to renew my disability right next month.
I have administrative stuff to do.

I have to cook to eat to clean.
I have to study and try to find a solution so that my brain is still useful during the finals.

It feels a bit hopeless ngl.

I went back to uni, but I've been having issues where I freeze during finals. I thought it was anxiety. But it happened even when pretending to do finals.

The Uni over-uses neon lights, all the libraries are underground. When I go there I get sick after a few hour. I haven't found a solution.

So I went to my GP who's pretty good tbh and he wrote me a neurologist. I managed to take an appointment.

I also realised the EMDR wasn't doing much. I don't think I'm traumatised and I'm pretty sure I have no forgotten memory.

So back to that symptom list. My father is epileptic ("grand mal" epilepsy) and I also wrote under my mother "paroxystic crisis" but I didn't know what it meant. As it turns out it's another form of epilepsy.

My sister got diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis a couple years ago so that helps with the back pain (it has spread since 2017). I won't lie, I was pretty envious that my sister got diagnosed so easily when it was the most likely diagnosis in 2017 but the specialist waved it away and told me it was psychosomatic.

Anyway, I have a lot of dissociation and started an EMDR therapy. The psychologist told me some of what I described were symptoms of epilepsy.

I moved to Paris almost entirely to be able to see specialists. I managed to get an appointment with one of the few EM/CFS specialists of the country.

I have a feeling after talking to EM-sufferers that it might not be what I have bc the triggers are different, but my fatigue is very extreme so it's good to have such a diagnosis for the administration (I'm starting to wonder how I'll manage to feed myself these days, the fatigue is very bad theses days)

And I thought, really thought that at the time I only had inflammatory pain in the lower back and articulations. But as it turns out I wrote all my current symptoms, with very few differences.

My tachycardia and difficulty staying upright got more or less diagnosed in 2021 (as orthostatic hypotension tho I have a feeling it's more likely POTS). I managed to finally get actual meds for that a couple of years later.

Is there an actual hashtag for rambling about one's own life? I'll use #storytime for now.

So last time, I was cleaning up my old notebooks. I've been keeping notebooks for more than a decade, at first I wanted to use them as diaries but I'm not good at that so I use them as just convenient paper to scribble down stuff.

I found in my notebook from 2017 a list of symptoms I wrote down when I started going to every doctor to get a diagnosis for whatever disability I had #disability
