Ndingaqiniseka Njani Oogqirha Ndisigulana Esinolwazi?

Umxholo

• Ngamanye amaxesha xa oogqirha bengamameli, kunokubusongela ubomi
• Abaphandi baye baqaphela ukhetho lwezonyango

Ngamanye amaxesha olona nyango luphambili ngugqirha omamelayo.

Sibona njani iimilo zehlabathi esizikhethele zona- kunye nokwabelana ngamava anyanzelisayo kunokubangela ukuba siphathane ngcono. Lo ngumbono onamandla.

Njengomntu onesifo esinganyangekiyo, bekungafuneki ukuba ndizithethelele xa ndigula kakhulu. Ngaba kuninzi kakhulu ukulindela ukuba oogqirha bakholelwe kumazwi endimele ndiwakhuphe ngenkani, phakathi kweepiki zentlungu, emva kokuba ndizirhuqile ndaya kwigumbi likaxakeka? Ukanti amaxesha amaninzi ndiye ndafumanisa ukuba oogqirha bajonga kuphela imbali yam yesigulana kwaye bayikhathalele uninzi lwento endiyithethileyo.

Ndine-fibromyalgia, imeko ebangela iintlungu ezingapheliyo nokudinwa, kunye noluhlu lokuhlamba iimpahla olunxulumene noko. Ngenye imini, ndaya kugqirha wamathambo - ingcali kwizifo ezisebenza ngokuzimela kunye nemisipha yemisipha- ukuzama ukulawula imeko yam.

Ucebise ukuba ndizame ukuzivocavoca kwamanzi, njengoko umthambo ophantsi ubonakalisile ukuphucula iimpawu ze-fibromyalgia. Ndizamile ukucacisa izizathu ezininzi zokuba kutheni ndingakwazi ukuya echibini: Kuyabiza kakhulu, kuthatha amandla amaninzi ukungena nokungena nje kwisuti yokuhlamba, ndiphendula kakubi kwi-chlorine.

Waye wagaxa inkcaso nganye ecaleni kwaye akazange amamele xa ndizama ukuchaza izithintelo zofikelelo ekusebenziseni amanzi. Amava am aphilileyo emzimbeni wam abonwa njengongabalulekanga kuneqondo lakhe lobugqirha. Ndaphuma eofisini ndilila ngumsindo. Ngaphezu koko, akazange anike naliphi na ingcebiso eluncedo yokuphucula imeko yam.

Ngamanye amaxesha xa oogqirha bengamameli, kunokubusongela ubomi

Ndinengxaki yokunyanga ibipolar enganyangekiyo. Andikunyamezeli ukukhetha i-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (i-SSRIs), unyango lodidi lokuqala loxinzelelo. Njengabaninzi abane-bipolar disorder, ii-SSRI zindenza manic kwaye zonyuse iingcinga zokuzibulala. Ukanti oogqirha baye bazityeshela kaninzi izilumkiso zam kwaye bazinika nakanjani na, kuba mhlawumbi andikayifumani i-SSRI "elungileyo" okwangoku.

Ukuba ndiyala, bandibhala ngokuba abathobeli.

Ke, ndiphela ndingangqubana nomboneleli wam okanye ndithatha amayeza ayenza mandundu imeko yam. Ngaphezulu koko, ukwanda kweengcinga zokuzibulala kuhlala kundibeka esibhedlele. Ngamanye amaxesha, kufuneka ndiqinisekise oogqirha esibhedlele ukuba hayi, andinakuthatha ii-SSRI. Undibeke kwindawo engaqhelekanga ngamanye amaxesha - ukulwela amalungelo am xa nam ndingakhathali nokuba ndihlala okanye andiphili.

“Nokuba ungakanani na umsebenzi endiwenzayo kwixabiso lam elingaphakathi kwaye ndiyingcali kwinto endiziva ngayo, ukungaviwa, ukungahoywa, kunye nokuthandatyuzwa yingcali egcinwe luluntu njengoyena ndoqo wolwazi lwezempilo inendlela yokuphazamisa isiqu sam. -kufanelekile kwaye ndithembele kumava am. ”

Kule mihla, ndikhetha ukubizwa ngokungahambelani kunokuba ndibeke ubomi bam esichengeni ngokuthatha iyeza endaziyo ukuba alilunganga kum. Ukanti akukho lula ukweyisela oogqirha ukuba ndiyayazi le nto ndithetha ngayo. Kucingelwa ukuba bendisebenzisa uGoogle kakhulu, okanye ukuba "ndiyenza kakubi" kwaye ndenza iimpawu zam.

Ndingabaqinisekisa njani oogqirha ukuba ndingumguli onolwazi owaziyo okwenzekayo ngomzimba wam, kwaye ndifuna nje iqabane kunyango kunokuba nguzwilakhe?

“Ndinamava angenakubalwa oogqirha abangazange bandimamele. Xa ndicinga ngokuba ngumfazi oNtsundu ovela kumnombo wamaJuda, eyona ngxaki ixhaphakileyo endinayo ngoogqirha bakugqala ukwenzeka kwam ukuba ndinesifo esingaxhaphakanga ngokweenkcukacha manani kuma-Afrika aseMelika. ”

Kwiminyaka, bendicinga ukuba ingxaki ndim. Ndacinga ukuba ndingafumana nje indibaniselwano yamagama eyiyo, oogqirha baya kuqonda kwaye bandinike unyango endilifunayo. Nangona kunjalo, ekutshintshiseni amabali nabanye abantu abagula ngokungapheliyo, ndiye ndaqonda ukuba ikwakhona ingxaki yenkqubo kwezonyango: Oogqirha bahlala bengabamameli abaguli babo.

Okubi nangakumbi, ngamanye amaxesha abakholelwa nje kumava ethu aphilileyo.

UBriar Thorn, itshantliziyo elikhubazekileyo, uchaza indlela amava abo noogqirha abachaphazele ngayo ukukwazi kwabo ukufumana unyango. “Ndandisoyika ukuya koogqirha emva kokuchitha iminyaka eli-15 ndityholwa ngeempawu zam ngokutyeba okanye ukuxelelwa ukuba ndiyayicinga. Ndaya e-ER kuphela xa kukho imeko yongxamiseko kwaye andizange ndiphinde ndibabone abanye oogqirha de ndagula kakhulu ukuba ndingasebenza iinyanga ezimbalwa phambi kokuba ndibeneminyaka engama-26. Oku kwaba yintsholongwane ye-encephalomyelitis. ”

Xa oogqirha behlala bethandabuza amava akho aphilayo, inokuchaphazela indlela ozijonga ngayo. U-Liz Droge-Young, umbhali okhubazekileyo, uyacacisa, "Nokuba ndisebenza kangakanani kwixabiso lam elingaphakathi nokuba yingcali kwinto endiziva ngayo, ukungaviwa, ukungahoywa, kunye nokuthandatyuzwa yingcali egcinwe luluntu njengeyona nto iphambili umlamli wolwazi lwezempilo unendlela yokuphazamisa ukuzixabisa kwam nokuzithemba kumava am. ”

UMelanie, itshantliziyo elikhubazekileyo kunye nomsunguli womnyhadala womculo wokugula okungapheliyo #Chrillfest, uthetha malunga nefuthe elifanelekileyo kukhetho kwezamayeza. “Ndinamava angenakubalwa oogqirha abangazange bandimamele. Xa ndicinga ngokuba ngumfazi oNtsundu ovela kumnombo wamaJuda, eyona ngxaki ixhaphakileyo endinayo ngoogqirha bakugqala ukwenzeka kwam ukuba ndinesifo esingaxhaphakanga ngokweenkcukacha manani kuma-Afrika aseMelika. ”

Imicimbi yenkqubo yamava kaMelanie ikwachaziwe ngabanye abantu ababekade bejongelwe phantsi. Abantu besayizi kunye nabasetyhini bathethile ngobunzima babo bokufumana unyango. Kukho umthetho wangoku ocetywayo wokuvumela oogqirha ukuba bangavumi ukunyanga abaguli abadlulayo.

Abaphandi baye baqaphela ukhetho lwezonyango

Izifundo zamva nje zibonise ukuba xa kuthelekiswa nezigulana ezimhlophe ezinemeko efanayo. Izifundo zibonise ukuba oogqirha bahlala benenkolelo ephelelwe lixesha kunye nobuhlanga malunga nezigulana eziMnyama. Oku kungakhokelela kumava asongela ubomi xa oogqirha bekholelwa kakhulu ekwakheni ubuhlanga kunabaguli abaMnyama.

Amava akhathazayo kaSerena Williams akutshanje ngokuzalwa komntwana abonisa eyona nto ixhaphakileyo kwabasetyhini abaMnyama abajamelana nayo kwiimeko zonyango: i-misogynoir, okanye iziphumo ezidibeneyo zobuhlanga kunye nezesini kwabasetyhini abaMnyama. Kwakufuneka abuze kaninzi i-ultrasound emva kokubeleka. Ekuqaleni, oogqirha bazisusa iinkxalabo zikaWilliams kodwa ekugqibeleni i-ultrasound yabonisa amahlwili egazi asongela ubomi. Ukuba uWilliam akazange akwazi ukweyisela oogqirha ukuba bamphulaphule, ngesele eswelekile.

Ngelixa kundithathileyo ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi ukuba ekugqibeleni ndikhulise iqela lokukhathalela elinemfesane, kusekho izinto ezithile apho ndingenaye ugqirha endinokubuyela kuye.

Okwangoku, ndinethamsanqa kuba ekugqibeleni ndifumene oogqirha abafuna ukuba ngamaqabane kukhathalelo. Oogqirha kwiqela lam aboyikiswa xa ndivakalisa iimfuno kunye nezimvo zam. Bayazi ukuba ngelixa bezingcali kwezamayeza, ndiyingcali emzimbeni wam.

Umzekelo, kutshanje ndizise uphando malunga nelebhile engeyiyo ye-opioid yeyeza kwi-GP yam. Ngokungafaniyo nabanye oogqirha abangavumiyo ukumamela iingcebiso zesigulana, ugqirha wam wajonga umbono wam kunokuba azive ehlaselwa. Ufundile uphando kwaye wavuma ukuba yinkqubo ethembekileyo yonyango. Iyeza liphucule kakhulu ubomi bam.

Oku kufanele ukuba kube sisiseko kulo lonke ukhathalelo lonyango, kodwa kunqabile kakhulu kunqabile.

Kukho into ebolileyo kwimeko yamayeza, kwaye isisombululo silungile phambi kwethu: Oogqirha kufuneka bamamele ngakumbi kwizigulana - kwaye basikholelwe. Masibe negalelo elisebenzayo kunyango lwethu, kwaye sonke siya kuba neziphumo ezingcono.
