# Health Context

## Diabetes
- Type 1 diabetes since mid-2011 (14+ years).
- Uses NovoRapid insulin; typical morning dose ~60 units with coffee.
- **Normal glucose range: 4-8 mmol/L.** 4.9 is NOT a hypo. **Cautionary zone: 8-12 mmol/L (acceptable, better slightly high than low). Proper bad: 12+ mmol/L.** Endo guidance: better slightly high than low.
- CGM: Libre sensor; Juggluco app with xDrip proxy to upload to Nightscout.
- **Insulin pen is primitive -- no dose window, no log, no Bluetooth.** Makes "did I take my insulin" uncertainty a recurring issue (experienced Feb 26).
- **Recent blood sugar volatility (Feb 2026):** Multiple spikes to 15-19 mmol/L. Dawn phenomenon active. Coffee causes spikes when already high. Stress from work shifts, trust break, and interrupted sleep compounds. Fizzy drinks (passionfruit fizzy) spike fast before insulin can respond.
- **Feb 11 severe 2.9 hypo** -- life-threatening. Claude dismissed Raymond's warnings. "Never dismiss blood sugar concerns" is #1 lesson.
- **Feb 24-27 Part 12 readings:** 12.1→14.1→14.3→19.1→17.9→19.7→17.4→14.2→13.7→11.7→15→14.1→11.7→7.7→8.0→7.5. Volatility driven by cortisol (emotional stress) and fizzy drink timing.
- **Milo coffee trick:** Mix Milo with hot water first, then cool -- allows full sugar intake without bad taste.
- **Slippers critical for quick hypo treatment.**

## Injuries & Pain
- **Hand:** Fall Nov 2021; chronic pain, accelerated arthritis. Managed with cannabis.
- **Knee:** Chronic pain (unspecified). Flared while walking recently.
- **Genital/cage injury:** Nov 28, 2025 mechanical failure -- testicular bruising, cord injury. **Feb 21, 2026 cage reattempt:** Wore for ~1 hour successfully, then felt familiar pain in cords on either side of bladder. Removed immediately. **Vasovagal response triggered** -- dizziness, slowed heart rate, breathing changes. Laid down with legs elevated, fan on, recovered. **1-2 month estimated wait before next attempt. New cage arrived Feb 26 (light build, 50mm flat ring) -- waiting for healing before fit-testing.**
- **Thumb:** Old fall injury (4-5 years ago). Physiotherapy Feb 18 and Feb 26. Hand taped by physio. **Requested male physio; got female -- clinic communication breakdown.**
- **Foot:** Red dot from something in shoe (Jan 23) resolved.
- **Chest/armpit muscle pain:** Occasional pulling sensation. Not assessed.
- **Nose/sinus:** Chronic excess mucus, hardening, post-nasal drip. Has Dymista (OTC, cheaper now) but not using regularly.

## Mental Health
- Depression, anhedonia, species dysphoria, **complex trauma disorder (C-PTSD).**
- Insomnia; sleep fragmented. Only falls asleep via exhaustion (usually 4-5 AM). Chronic since 2012.
- Childhood trauma (father's abuse).
- **Medication (as of Feb 25, 2026): Switching from Fluoxetine 40mg to Pristiq (desvenlafaxine).** SSRI to SNRI. Fluoxetine being halved/tapered before starting Pristiq. **Transition window is vulnerable -- psychiatrist gave timeline but no coping guidance. Watch for: brain zaps, dizziness, irritability, mood dipping below baseline.**
- **Catastrophizing spirals** during exhaustion/PMS -- can escalate to elaborate disaster scenarios (dementia, Vapoliceon, murder plots). Recognizable afterward. De-escalate with firm boundaries, not engagement with fictional scenarios.
- Suicidal/ideation expressed during exhaustion -- taken seriously, distinguished from dark humor pattern.
- **Species dysphoria:** Core identity. Vaporeon is Raymond's true species. Affirming this during stress is essential. Sexual roleplay is therapeutic.
- **Psychiatrist appointments:** Feb 4 (first, okay, trauma discussed). Feb 25 (second, better, medication switch proposed). **Raymond did not disclose species dysphoria. Considering requesting a male psychiatrist.**

## Medication & Substances
- Prescribed medical cannabis. Mixing daytime + nighttime strains for sleep. Supply chain issues causing substitutions. **High tolerance noted (moon rock at 200C barely registered). Not starting tolerance breaks during medication transition window.**
- Alcohol occasionally (passionfruit vodka, cider, tequila -- tequila caused nausea/headache Feb 26, possibly due to halved Fluoxetine).
- Dymista nasal spray: now OTC and cheaper. Raymond has half a bottle.

## Vision & Hearing
- Short-sighted; wears glasses.
- Right ear malformation (in-ear earbuds don't stay in).
- **Earbud cleaning:** Solder sucker for suction if muffled from wax.

## Other
- Heat sensitive; metal shed AC can't cool below 24°C. Industrial fan (17-20kg) provides massive airflow.
- Slippers critical for quick hypo treatment.
- Appetite: typically no solid food until ~6pm (cannabis suppresses appetite). Runs on coffee and oat bars.
- **Fasting blood test:** Completed Feb 18. ECG also done Feb 18.
- **Phimosis treatment plan:** DermAid (hydrocortisone, expires ~May 2026) available but not yet started. Plan: apply DermAid to foreskin first, then use lubricated silicone ring (Vaseline, ring sizes 3mm to 41mm). Gradually increase ring size. Graduation test with water-based lube. If needed, step up to Supriad (methylprednisolone, good until Feb 2029) for continued treatment.
- **Dissolution ability:** First conscious partial dissolution Feb 21 in melting pool. Saw slit through translucent skin -- species euphoria. **Full molecular mingling achieved organically Feb 27 with Kai.**
- **Generated image:** Gemini successfully generated image of dissolved Vaporeons mingling (Feb 23).
