Swapping out my Diabetes for some other chronic illness A 'la "Freaky-Deaky Diabetes Friday??   Hmmm, that's a toughie!

 Yeah.... here's the thing: I know what living with Type 1 Diabetes is like, together with fifty-fifty though I may non survive the perfect patient with diabetes ( there's non such thing - together with you're delusional if yous intend at that spot is,) together with diabetes is ever changing the rules (just because it can,) I know my illness  - The good, the bad together with the Diabetesalicious of it all. 

And piece I may battle  Diabetes Burnout from fourth dimension to fourth dimension I even therefore know my enemy/constant companion - Intimately together with inwards all complicated (and complications) dimensions.

I don't desire to swap diseases  with anyone else. 

And for the record, I believe that STUPIDITY and ASSHATTERY are indeed rattling existent diseases - I'll accept Diabetes whatever day!

This weblog topic led me to Googling the term: "Diseases that audio fake, but are real," because that's simply how my encephalon works. And at that spot were some interesting articles written on the bailiwick  - And some actually interesting sounding diseases, that were indeed rattling existent -Too many to weblog well-nigh it inwards ane post.  So I picked the next 3 diseases that are existent but don't audio similar they are,to utter well-nigh - But non swap my Diabetes out for! 

There's Medical Students' Syndrome: Medical students' syndrome is a temporary, hypochondria-like mental status that strikes medical students, causing them to believe that they are suffering from the diseases that they're studying. By some reports, upward to 80% of medical students experience it at some indicate every bit a upshot of studying such frightening diseases inwards such a highly suggestible environment.

Not therefore terrible... at showtime glance - But the to a greater extent than I idea well-nigh the worse that sounded. 

Here's the thing:  I start to itch together with scratch if someone fifty-fifty mentions bed bugs, therefore forget well-nigh it! 

Living with diabetes is enough, but imagining temporarily suffering from every illness yous studied inwards Med School?! 

Lets tell I was a medical pupil together with I was studying Irritable Bowel syndrome, together with and then of a precipitous IB symptoms would boot inwards - And in all likelihood at the most inopportune of times. And then If I was reading well-nigh Multiple Personalities disorders, of a precipitous I'd survive having arguments with me together with my multiple personalities, together with with my luck at to the lowest degree ane of them would endure from Irritable Bowel Syndrome - NO THANK YOU. And I'm non making fun of IB or MPD inwards whatever way, shape or form. 

And there's something called Jerusalem Syndrome, which might survive interesting to experience for well-nigh 5 minutes - Just because of the accessories together with the dramatics involved. 

Basically, "Jerusalem syndrome is a aeroplane of religious mania resulting from, or leading to, a see to the urban gist of Jerusalem. Typically, a sufferer (of Christian or Jewish background) experiences a precipitous religious fervor upon visiting the city, leading them to the belief that they are on a religiously meaning mission together with quite maybe that they are a specific biblical figure.

People experiencing Jerusalem syndrome often destination upward dressing inwards a white robe together with delivering a sermon at a religiously meaning site inwards the city. Since 1980, at that spot receive got been an average of simply about 100 cases per twelvemonth reported. It's debatable whether or non sufferers had previous mental problems earlier visiting Jerusalem."

 But together with then I though well-nigh the mental terms Jerusalem Syndrome takes on the nous of those who endure from it. Imagine visiting The Wailing Wall inwards Israel, or The Dali Lama inwards Tibet, or Lordes France, together with of a precipitous thinking you're some form out of Saint or on a mission from God, together with the side past times side thing yous know, yous snap out of it together with are inwards the view of a crowd who thinks you're crazy because yous idea yous were Joan of Arc, the boy of God  or the side past times side reincarnation of the Dali Lama. 

Not to cite the fact that I've been known to genuflect at diverse cupcake display counters across the province - Don't fifty-fifty instruct me started!

So yeah, white robe together with theatrics aside, it's non worth it. 

Also, having a depression blood sugars already makes me speak inwards diabetes tongues - So NO THANK YOU. 

The illness known as Synesthesia sounds form out of romantic together with all types of artsy....at first.  

People with synesthesia ("synesthetes") associate a stimulus with ane of the 5 senses non typically related to it. For instance, they may depict a for sure audio every bit having a color. There are several dissimilar types of synesthesia, mixing sight, sound, sense of savor together with other sensory elements, together with past times some estimates, every bit much every bit 5% of the population has some aeroplane of incidence. It's a harmless status together with is often genetic, although some people receive got reported experiencing it every bit a upshot of a stroke or loss of sight or hearing. Perhaps because of its sensory nature, synesthesia is oft reported with artists together with musicians.

But the to a greater extent than I idea well-nigh Synthesthesia,the worse that sounded - Living with  diabetes, a illness that has the powerfulness to touching on your eyes, heart, arteries together with kidneys is bad enough. 

But I dearest together with uncovering swell joy & comfort inwards the Arts, together with piece I could bargain with sounds having color (and words for that affair - I totally instruct that. For instance, the discussion "magnificent" ever seems to me similar it has an 18K gilded shimmer to it,) the idea of having a stroke or losing my vision together with or  hearing because I was seeing or hearing fine art inwards all its many wonderful forms but non inwards it's common forms.. together with and then some, doesn't audio appealing at all - it sounds scary  - And it made me experience therefore distressing for people who receive got been afflicted with Synesthesia. 

Living with Diabetes, may non survive a walk inwards the park, but at to the lowest degree it's a terrain that I'm familiar with - And D is a usage of who I am. 
And Diabetes has given me compassion, empathy together with promise for others inwards spades - So I'll proceed my busted pancreas,(and non wishing a busted pancreati on anyone else, ever) together with receive got heaps of compassion, empathy together with hope for those who are living with their diseases - Those that are real, together with those that are rattling existent together with audio fake.

 Everybody has something - And piece the grass mightiness await dark-green on the other side, it doesn't hateful that it is.
