Hi every-pawdy! I’m Ruby the Therapy Dog and I have epilepsy. I’ve had seizures for seven years now and two life-threatening reactions to my medications.

Each time I went to ER, I was in the hospital for a week and I’m a survivor. I can go to “work” visiting and encouraging people in the hospital whenever we’re pretty sure I won’t have a seizure.

We tell people about my epilepsy and seizures in case I have an epi-sode in public. I’m not embarrassed or ashamed that I have epilepsy.

Changing the Narrative for Others Living With Sickle Cell Disease

In April 2020, I lay in a hospital bed in Atlanta, Georgia, while fighting for my life. Unlike many other patients in the hospital, I wasn’t struggling with the terrifying and then-mysterious COVID-19 virus — my terror was much more familiar. I’ve lived with sickle cell disease (SCD) for my entire life and have come to rely on life-saving blood transfusions when my symptoms become severe. But the pandemic caused a nationwide shortage of blood donations and doctors told me that there was no blood available to give me. I was blessed to eventually receive a transfusion, but this incident left me determined to do my part to make sure that other sickle cell warriors don’t experience the same problem in the future.

How Endometriosis Absolved Me of My Guilt Over Not Procreating

For as long as I can remember, I have had what I can only describe as existential dread over the idea of becoming pregnant. I’m not talking about the ramifications of actually having a child and what that would entail in terms of my path in life. I’m not even talking about the fear of changes within my body, like gaining weight — which, while scary for someone with body dysmorphia and a history of anorexia, is something that I could rationalize in terms of bringing a healthy fetus to term. No… what I’m talking about is something deeper. It’s something that ties to an underlying terror of losing autonomy over my body and having it not just taken over by a fetus, but by the overwhelming expectations of my mother.

How Pandemic Isolation Allowed Me to Better Understand My Autism

My official diagnosis came late, at 20. But for all my life I had known that I was different. I was not surprised in the slightest. It came at a hard time, though. It was during the spring of the first wave of the pandemic. 2020. At this point, we had been pretty isolated for a couple of months already, and to be honest, I wasn’t too bothered by that. I had come home from college where I had had a semester of disaster and struggle which can now be attributed to my undiagnosed autism. I was happy to be in my room alone, minding my business and watching YouTube to my heart’s content.
