False Spring, Bullshit Weather, & Migraines That Are Out for Blood False spring has arrived in Illinois, which means chaotic weather, furious migraines, and joints that feel like they’re staging a jailbreak. Between pharmacy roulette, neurologist nonsense, and a surprise DNA revelation, this week’s health update from The Crippled Cryptid is… a lot. Pull up a chair at the Lunatic Café.

A large morkie with long hair rests his body on the lap of a middle-aged man wearing grey sweatpants, who’s lying on a leather sofa.

Not feeling well at all today, so my #ServiceDog is reminding me to just take it easy and get some much needed rest. 😔

Mind is racing, and muscle spasms combination has me up and waiting for meds to kick in.
Part of the mind racing is for a good reason. We might be getting a new service dog candidate for me sometime in the next couple of months.
From Goel's breeder.

False Spring, Stolen Hours, and the Audacity of Daylight Savings Daylight Savings stole an hour, Illinois is threatening snow again, and every clock in my house is gaslighting me. A small cryptid rant about chronic illness, false spring, and the chaos of time changes.

Daylight Savings stole an hour of sleep and Illinois decided to threaten snow again. Meanwhile every clock in my house is gaslighting me. 🕰️

I took off after an animal this morning, and disappeared for about 10 mins.

Running free was fun!

Mom is not happy since I pushed past her and ran.

Now I’m in trouble.

Worth it!

Little Things That Keep Us Going Survival doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like a service dog curled around your legs, unread books waiting patiently, sour candy that burns just enough, and the quiet decision to stay. This is a list of the little things that keep me here. Maybe you have some too.

Survival doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like a dog who won’t leave your side, books you haven’t read yet, and the quiet choice to stay.

Golden retriever service dog laying in the snow instead on the sidewalk. Lol

Mom is catching up. I was laying in the #Snow taking a break from work the other day. Now the snow is all gone. Boo!

When the World Feels Loud, We Build Nests When the world feels loud, I don’t try to fix it. I build a nest. A dog on watch. A cane that clicks like a metronome for survival. A song on repeat. A book that waits without demanding. This isn’t a manifesto. It’s a quiet inventory of what still feels safe in a sharp, uncertain world.

When the world feels loud, build a nest. 🕯️🐾
A service dog. A comfort book. A song on repeat.
Small safety still counts.

On Rare Disease Day, I had the privilege of joining a panel at the RQMO event alongside inspiring patients, caregivers, and professionals. A meaningful moment to raise awareness and celebrate the zebra, symbol of the rare disease community.

False Spring, Non-Answers & Birthday Burgers I turned 31 this week. After years of telling myself I wouldn’t make it. The seizures are “non-epileptic.” The wires in my spine still aren’t fully removed. The weather can’t pick a lane. But there were burgers. There was movie night. And somehow, I’m still here. This week’s health update is about survival without performance, anger with teeth, and choosing to show up anyway.

Two spoons survived the week.

The sunshine shows just how much our TV cabinet needs dusting 😅 (don’t judge, we work all week), but here is Sprocket the #ServiceDog keeping up his helpin’ skills! This is practice; he can also open the pantry to get my water bottle or search for my meds in different rooms when I need him to. 💕🐕‍🦺

Luna Takeover: Bed Jail™, Bird Feeders & Big Feelings This week earned three paws out of five. Lowkey. Manageable. Slightly chaotic but survivable. There were phone calls with no answers, weather with commitment issues, a birthday yak cheese redistribution ceremony, and a very dignified at-home spa day. Welcome to another Luna Takeover at The Crippled Cryptid, where disability exists without performance and rest is not a moral failure.

Three paws out of five this week 🐾 Yak cheese on Mama’s birthday, spa day glam, and steady nervous system supervision. Welcome to the Lunatic Café. 💜 linktr.ee/skylanarissa #ServiceDog #ChronicIllness #LunatheServiceDingo

Im in a small crate lined with newspaper. I have a leash or large collar that's too big, tied around my neck. Im looking straight at you.
