  1. Today's video is going to be a bit late.

    I've been hit with extra work due to a Universal Credit audit in which I appear to have made a mistake in my submission. Numbers have been extra hard for me this last week so the timing isn't great, just stupid ME/CFS brain difficulties.

    PIP is still silent too, no updates whatsoever on the tribunal date, it's been over 6 months now.

    I'm just stuffed. I shouldn't be working and yet... and yet...

  4. When I say I have “brain fog”, this is what is actually going on:
    1. I can’t think too much or at all bc my brain literally feels like it’s overheating
    2. I can’t have conversations bc I keep forgetting what we’re talking about throughout the convo
    3. Also I can’t recall words
    4. It makes learning new things extremely difficult

  5. A health update: month 6 of #Lyme-induced #MECFS #PAIS relapse.

    Now finally biting the bullet and trying that joyless low-histamine diet while phasing out those darn antihistamines. Even the ones that are not supposed to, make me drowsy. No alc, no coffee, low sugar too. Have pity with me.

    Cleared my schedule until late October. I have a life to live, and trying to push through this condition really *does* just make it worse.

    You cannot fight this disease. So try to be gentle to yourself.

  6. Conspirituality 325: Long COVID Profiteers

    "Seventeen participants (35%) were classified as hypovolemic, 21 (43%) as normovolemic, and 11 (22%) as hypervolemic."

    "findings suggest that static blood volume deficits alone are unlikely to be the principal determinant of OI in ME/CFS."

  10. ME Research UK:

    A study led by Prof. Dmitri Pchejetski has found “shared biology” in five fatigue-related illnesses: ME/CFS, long COVID, PTSD, MS, and RA. However, there are important methodological limitations that must be considered. More info: bit.ly/4xPOzid

  13. CW: :boosts_ok: Trans Mutual Aid

    If you don't already know me, I'm a heavily disabled poc trans woman who's been bedridden by long covid and me/cfs for the last year (and dealing with long covid for 3ish). I was hoping not to have to make this post but with the way everything is getting more and more expensive in the US right now, I need to.

    I'm trying to raise 500 for food and 200 for miscellaneous daily expenses to tide me over for the next few months :frog_blush:

    (best option for me) Venmo: OctaviaConAmore 
    Paypal: paypal.me/OctaviaConAmore
    Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/octaviaconamore
    (remember to click the one-time option unless you really want to donate every month :mew_giggle: )

    (Unfortunately, options other than Venmo take pretty annoying chunks out, but if Venmo isn't an option, they're there as backup.)

    Current total: 350/700

    If you can't help by donating, please consider helping this post get around by boosting it :hug_love:

    edit: thank you to everyone who has helped out so far~ :hug_love: half down, half to go~
