AC/DC - Inject the Venom - HQ/1080p

break

Can't help but think of this song sometimes when it's Insulin Time. 

Honestly, though, I don't listen to AC/DC very much these days in spite of what they have meant to me during my life.

All the shit that's happened to them depresses the fuck out of me.

I talk about diabetes a lot because I'm still getting used to the idea of having another dying organ in my body.

I didn't talk about hypothyroidism or PCOS or menopause that much because menopause made me happy and resolved the problems of PCOS, and hypothyroidism required swallowing a couple of small pills.

I talked about glaucoma a bit when I was first diagnosed, but my eye pressure is good and my peripheral vision doesn't seem to have deteriorated, and the treatment is an eye drop in each eye once a day.

With diabetes, I have to inject something into my body to prevent elevated blood glucose from destroying other organs such as my kidneys and my eyes or possibly the blood vessels in my brain.

It isn't that the injections hurt. I hardly feel them. Oddly enough, they make me feel kind of empowered, sort of like "take that, you fucking dead pancreas! I don't need your stupid ass anyway!"

Nonetheless, it's kind of weird, and it's not something I ever thought I'd have to do.

In a few months, it'll be old hat, and I'll hardly ever mention it.

Unlike my stupid bipolar disorder. Lithium helps control the irritability and paranoia, but there are still issues, plus the stigma and ignorance surrounding psych disorders.

I'm just a huge fucking mess. I want a body without 99 million problems in my next life.

Scratch that. I don't want a next life. I just want to float around in the Aethers, being an asshole.
