Best news!!! 🥹
Dianna @physicsgirl keeps showing us that there is hope for the millions of people suffering out there after infections. To everyone affected by #LongCovid and #MECFS, recovery can be slow, but it is possible! Don't give up! ❤️‍🩹

Does anyone else spend ages trying to catch and move daddylonglegs from the bath before the cleaner comes?

Is ME/CFS the only illness where you can feel like you’re dying every day (for weeks, months, years) but there’s no point in seeing a Dr because even if they have heard of the illness they can’t do anything to help?

Merry Christmas folks!
I got one of the best presents a person with ME/CFS can get (apart from a cure or drs with knowledge) : 3 pages of coupons for labour!
There’s always so much around the house I can’t manage by myself, so I’m stoked!

The light in my kitchen blows me away every single afternoon.
My teacher-bestie has started buying me a cat every time she goes away. Up to 3.
I don’t go away any more due to good old ME/CFS making me housebound, so it’s special to get a present.

I got the flu vax today, not because I’m worried about getting the flu, but because the last time I got it, my baseline increased for at least 5 weeks.
My smart watch noticed all my metrics were up, it was pretty incredible.
It happens to a few people with ME/CFS but it’s not that common.

Due to my ME/CFS I haven’t been able to paint, so I’ve been drawing my usual still lifes on the iPad instead.
I was quite surprised to enjoy the process and the product so I turned my first 12 drawings into a calendar.

One of Millions Missing

2024 finds me disabled and exhausted with crippling fatigue from ME/CFS. I used to be bright and extroverted, with a colourful wardrobe, home, and art & design practice. Now, I’m fading.

My covid cautious and chronic illness friends will relate to this.
It’s called ‘Staying upright in The New Normal’.

I rarely posted on Twitter because I’m a snowflake and get upset by trolls.
Is it safe here to post this?

I keep seeing people with ME/CFS or long covid applying for assisted dying. We need better support and research so sick people have choices other than death.
Canada: "A Canadian woman’s grueling bout with long COVID has robbed her of her life savings, the ability to get out of bed and the simple joys of living — forcing her to seek out assisted suicide, according to a report."

Can’t believe this senator is immature enough to incite bullying of people wearing masks. Sucks to be high-risk when there’s knobs like this in parliament.

It’s been an interesting year. I never could have predicted that I’d be stranded with a flat tyre on my mobility scooter, or that I’d have a scooter at all.
Earlier this year I was dancing. Now I’m housebound but with a scooter for work. How will I teach tomorrow with a flat tyre? #mecfs isn’t fun.
