I just slept through four hours of roof work. Guess I'm tired! #ChronicIllness

It's tough for sure. Have a lot of those mornings. Hope you feel well enough to get on with your day.

I believe the doctors and researchers at the Long Covid/post infectious disease conference in Amsterdam should be wearing N95s.

They need to lead by example.

Demonstrate that COVID is not over and that repeat infections only increase your risk of disability.

Stop chains of transmission.

Today's delivery-the adult diapers you helped me to get, so that I can manage with my stent until my next operation. Thank you so much, fedi friends!🥰

(Also a gentle reminder to people not to negatively comment about my use of Amazon, thanks. Not all of us have the ability to drive or get things from elsewhere♥️).

Project 2025 laid out a plan to strip women of their rights, destroy the food supply, revoke visas and cull the population.

They want the weak and undesirable to die.

They’re not even hiding it.

The latest recall is IV saline. Baxter 0.9% sodium chloride was found to possibly contain fibreglass.

You know who needs Iv saline?

The sick and disabled.

The “useless eaters”.

The people the fascists think are better off dead.

Therapist: Is the medicine helping?

Me: No. It doesn't work.

Therapist: Okay how often are you taking them?

Me: I don't take them.

Therapist: Oh so there's our first clue as to why they're not helping and don't seem to work.

Looking for others like me that have Vestibular Migraines because people who don't get them do NOT understand. It's not about how much pain I'm in, its about whether I can see straight or stand up without falling over during a migraine attack.

Intro to me: If what you believe or do hurts someone else, we have a problem.
Other than that, we're probably good.

I'll post about chronic illness, animals, writing, and dad jokes. I'll go off about stupidity when it's warranted and gush about random facts I've learned.

Sometimes I'll give tech tips for the average user.

#Introduction #Author #ChronicIllness

Your little reminder that you can be a positive and optimistic person, and still have days where you're frustrated and angry about your medical conditions and disability. It's valid to have low days. This stuff is hard work.

It is going well. Appointment number 3 within a month. Perhaps I could book an appointment with my GP every week until the end of the year. Just in case #chronicillness

Chronic illness often has layers, not just one cause.

Not every morning coffee looks the same 😅

My morning Tabletto ☕️, ten shots, no milk, extraordinarily bitter, and I drink it every single day.

And that is only the morning order, there is a whole second round waiting for me after dinner.

Some of them are there to manage what the others are doing, which is a genuinely fun little system to be running before eight in the morning.

I am fully operational (no), extremely normal (no), and ready for the standup (yes).

Guuuuurl this year is kicking my ass

#chronicpain #chronicillness

Yes I'm a positive thinker and an optimist, and also I'm very much over all the physical pain today. Stress about upcoming bills and being under the poverty line only add to it all. I'd really love a break😅

About the What Is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Like? (WIMEL) writers:

The WIMEL writers are an international group of people living with ME and related illnesses who come together to write. Our goals are to advocate and spread accurate, truthful information and awareness about ME, especially to healthcare professionals, students, and policy-makers who may have limited knowledge about the illness.

“Hope to outlast the storm”: How severe ME impacts two brothers

https://thesicktimes.org/2026/08/21/hope-to-outlast-the-storm-how-severe-me-impacts-two-brothers/

"ME is like being in a raging storm while caught in the open ocean. You can’t think, you can’t breathe, and you are constantly thrown about by circumstances out of your control. You can’t even move in any direction because you have no control over your life. All you can do is hope to outlast the storm without going under."
