Description
-Characters: Raven (my personal avatar) and Nix (NIX 's personal avatar)
My first time doing a decent background in PS - struggled a little with the brushes and the program itself, since I never use it (aside from colour improvements).
Nix and I are both dog owners, so I thought I'd draw our two characters walking the doggies while sharing an ice cream (since we're in the summer). ^^

If seeing two anime hotties sharing an ice cream isn't sexy, I don't know what is. XD

And it's my fav ice cream at that ;D
Sadly I can't eat it anymore cuz of ... various food intolerances q-q
(at least I can draw it, right? :"D)

Oh dear. Hopefully drawing such a deliciously forbidden food didn't make you drool too much. XDD

Nah, I had my coffee with chocolate coconut milk, so I was good ;D

Chocolate coconut milk? I have never heard of that but I feel obligated to run to the store and buy some, if it's as delicious as it sounds.

Yep, it's super delicious, and by far not as sweet as your regular chocolate milk. ^^
Sweet things make me sick, cuz I can't handle too much sugar, so this one is perfect for me.
I'd buy ordinary coconut milk though, but sadly no store offers it anymore for some reason, aside from those that are mixed with rice milk, I can only order it online q-q
(coconut and almond milk are the only milk I can drink, sadly, I'm intolerant to all the rest)

Dang. Your food sensitivities sound pretty major.

Yep. Docs say I most likely have celiac disease as well. ; /
But hey, at least I'm forced to eat healthily, whether I like it or not. ; )
I've always eaten healthy food tho, but my biggest intolerances are grains, and my family was nuts for pasta and bread and dumplings n stuff, so that really fcked up my intestine real bad, I even had to drop out of college (was bound to my bed for almost 2 years due to pain and my doctors and even those jerks at the ER didn't want to help me, cuz they couldn't be bothered and only wanted to send me to a mental hospital, saying that it was all in my head for over 10 years straight - I avoid doctors like the plague now). The pain was beyond insane, made me wish I was never even born. x.x That's why it's so easy for me to avoid stuff that I mustn't eat, because the pain is so severe if I do make a tiny mistake that it's honesty not worth it. Basically I can only eat veggies, seeds, and meat, and even amongst those foods I can't consume everything. Luckily I can at least eat quinoa - good substitute for grains and nice addition to the food. ;3

That's some serious stuff. It shows how resilient you are that you're still trying your best and getting by.
Yeah, not all doctors are good news. Odd coincidence, but today I had to tell one that I wouldn't be seeing him anymore because of his behaviour.

Same here - I just had to switch my doctor yet again, because my new (young) doc that replaced my other one (previous one was a good doc but she quit her job because all the other docs there were assholes - I don't blame her for doing so lol) was behaving like a spoiled bitchy teenage girl that just hit puberty and I was her "annoying" parent that annoyed her simply by being there looking her in the eyes (no joke, it really was that bad, she was literally interrupting me the entire time with nasty remarks, not letting me finish, she was laughing at me and talking back at me like bitchy teens do to their parents). She didn't even believe me that I had all the problems that were written in my file, and when I asked her why did I even go to the ER n shit then for and why does my intestine hurt so much (I haven't been able to do any exercise or go for long walks with my dogs in over 2 years now because of it), she said "I don't know" while looking at me like I'm mental (here we go again lol, the classic drill nowadays, everyone is fukken mental and needs to be on 1736275 different pills). And when she saw that I supposedly managed to cure my supposedly "forever rip, forever on meds" thyroid, she immediately checked my blood, like the previous doc did (no the good one), when I told her I stopped eating those cancerous drugs that fucked me up to no end, because my thyroid got fixed after I changed my diet to involve none of the things I was intolerant to, and when she got the results, of my thyroid being completely ok for the 3rd year in a row now, she wouldn't even speak to me anymore, she didn't even get on the phone with me. I have a very serious health issue, the last one that still needs to get resolved (asap, because it's getting worse with each year), one that I had since HS yet not a single shit bothered to take it seriously, even though I got admitted to the hospital because of it and it has only gotten worse since then, so I REALLY don't have the time to be dealing with shitty doctors anymore, so I didn't even try to communicate with that doc after that 1st visit, I simply wrote to the office to send my file to another doctor in another town - they didn't even ask me why, cuz the doc knew exactly why I was leaving. These truly are sad times we live in ...

I've had very, very similar experiences involving terrible doctors who basically blame patients for being ill, or who don't believe it when they're proven wrong about something. It's sad but there are soooo many doctors out there who are like "I'm the doctor and you're the patient so I know more than you derp."
I feel for you. You didn't deserve to go through any of that.

More like "I'm god and you're a filthy cockroach that I might accidentally end up stepping on because I don't give a damn" >_>
They even put two of my beloved relatives into their early grave, one just two years ago, so yeah, fck doctors, all of them.
I took classes in nutrition a while ago and got myself a licence (dietitian), so now I really don't need those guys anymore lol (if my new doc will be crap as well, I'm gonna start paying for various blood tests myself and try to figure out where the problem lies with my fellow dietitians - our professor works at the clinic so she can ask around as well). Natural self-medication is the only way nowadays, because those shits only care about their next paycheck and the bonuses they'll get if they manage to sell a shit ton of useless and dangerous pills to their patients (that's why they keep trying to get me bk on my thyroid meds, but fail to do so, since my thyroid is 100% healthy now, because those meds cost A LOT).
Well, I did lose my late childhood and entire teenage years and my early 20's because of it (spent most of my life vegetating in my bed, suffering from all sorts of insane pains - stomachache, heart pains, never ending migranes, muscle pains, joint pains, panic attacks, colon pains, basically my whole body was in huge pain constantly, plus I had insane insomnia as well, sometimes I wasn't able to fall asleep for 3 days straight - this all went away once I eliminated all the stuff that I'm intolerant to from my diet, along with food that contains lots of pesticides - I buy everything BIO now; additives and all the fake stuff, AND my thyroid meds, that shit nearly made me lose my good eyesight, my vision went from perfect to not being able to see anything in the distance in 2 months and my hair started falling out like crazy). It was a sad and painful experience, I had no support from anyone, even my family didn't believe me how sick I truly was, until I was on a brink of collapsing and my health went to shit completely, but I finally made through that shit storm now, with only one last condition to treat, and this experience made me into a much stronger person and I don't take shit from anyone anymore, not even from my doctors (I gladly argue with them now, I don't give a damn how salty and butthurt they get - in fact, I enjoy seeing them get pissed because I call them out on their bullshit and incompetence).

I'm really glad to hear you trust your own instincts now. It's scary how often doctors are dead wrong, and in my experience too, they never admit when they've made a mistake. Instead they get all passive-aggressive and blame the patient for the shit that they did wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly, and most often they don't even care what's wrong with you. There were so many times when I was actually feeling sick af because of the food (when I was younger and had no idea what was wrong with me yet), and everytime I'd go to my doc, she'd prescribe me some random antibiotics (even more K.O. for my already next to none existent immune system at the time) without even checking my blood, or without even looking at my face once during our conversation - she literally never looked you in the eyes, she just kept staring at the screen. I'm so glad she's not my doctor anymore, good riddance ... The one who had to ORDER her to check my thyroid back then was my psychiatrist (yes, doctors sent me to a psychiatrist instead to have me dosed on drugs that didn't help shit but only messed with my brain, in order to get rid of me, because apparently no child can be seriously ill, it was "all in my head"). And when the one rare good doctor (the one that quit her job) got me as her patient and checked my blood, she saw I was so severely anemic (I was anemic my whole life due to food) that she thought I was gonna die and even when she started dosing me on extra iron (for months and months), my iron levels refused to budge. And now I'm 100% anemia free, tnx to changing my diet (apparently my iron absorption was beyond terrible, probably due to celiac disease). ^^

That sounds like hell. At least you're much healthier now that those people aren't in your life anymore.
