Five Things That Are Annoying When You Have An Autoimmune Disease As Told By Friends.

Hello, I have Hashimoto's Disease and as a result, have a lowered immune system and a whole bunch of other issues but I like friends.

If you have autoimmune issues or diseases then I am sure you can definitely relate to these annoying things that happen to you. If you don't have issues maybe you will just learn something or just enjoy the "friends" gifs.

I really love Phoebe and Chandler. Who is your favorite character?

If you want a little more background on what exactly my autoimmune disease is a link to my article about is here: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/having-an-autoimm...

But anyway let's get to the comedy involved in it!



Getting Sick All The Time

Basically no matter how hygienic and careful you are to constantly be having vitamin C and essential oils you still wind up sick. Like today, for instance, randomly getting day colds, flu, and other illnesses are the norm and quite annoying.

It turns most days into a smelly cat. What is my autoimmune disease doing to me?

Explaining Your Symptoms

My hands shake. My eyes tend to have bags. I tend to get sick. Sometimes my head shakes. Etcetera etcetera. Explaining it repeatedly gets old pretty quick. Plus, I'm never on a break from it.

Explaining Your Disease

It really is work to constantly be explaining your disease. Usually, this discussion follows the already annoying symptoms chat and just gets annoying since no one really understands your disease including yourself sometimes. Explaining it repeatedly oftentimes turns me into a Ursala type person or a very hungry and nap deprived Joey.

Sympathy

Yes. I have an incurable life long disease. Yeah, that sucks. Guess what, it is treatable and for the most part, I lead a very normal life. So constantly saying you're sorry and giving me pity does nothing to fix my disease or treat it. Sorry is not the medicine I need to take every day. Sure it is nice but totally unnecessary. It is not always annoying but sometimes under the right circumstances like say moving a couch up several flights of stairs can create some anger that needs to be unleashed.

Having The Autoimmune Disease

Obviously having the disease is straight up annoying. Making sure I take my medication every day, getting blood drawn, doctors visits, symptoms, getting sick, and coping with it the best I can is pretty annoying. I don't like but hey (brace for dark humor) if I don't do it I'll die so a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. (de-brace dark humor has ceased.)

Anyways if there is anything that annoys you what is it? Of course, I also must ask...

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
