Scientists On Tumblr - Tumblr Posts
Why has no one prepped me for pre-menstrual chills and hot flashes?! Genuinely wouldn’t stop shivering with chills and softly gasping for a solid hour. I had a minute where I gave in and tensed my entire body, but speaking to my bf for help shook me up again.
I was sweaty, my left leg still feels like it’s popped off like a Lego piece. The only way I fixed it was to put a heating pad on my pelvis for 10 minutes full blast.
I was wrapping myself under a thick blanket and wrapping my bf around me to try and get warm.
Doctors of tumblr, can I be in a god damn study for women’s health over feelings like this? I didn’t even start bleeding after and my leg still hurts.
Update: yeah, I had no idea it would also make me get a temp of 100.4. I passed out after an hour of work because I was losing my mind.
intro post!

hello! welcome to cybercity-sunrise. I post lots of art, science and sustainability content, updates about my grad school experience, poetry, and social justice resources. i'm hoping to meet people with shared interests and would love to connect with other grad students.
about me: my name is avery; i'm 24 and currently based in the southwest USA. i am a first-year phd student in environmental engineering, with research focused on bioremediation. in undergrad, i studied plant biosciences and philosophy, both of which fueled my interest in building a world where everyone can enjoy a clean, healthy environment.
aside from school, i love being outside, reading (esp by huxley, butler, leguin, burroughs, and nietzsche), raving, drawing, gardening, and hanging out with my cat.
