A lovely family from my local ME Action chapter came to help make my lunch yesterday and they bought me a gift… it turns out it was one of those expensive large ugg fuzzy throw blankets 😭 I’m currently drinking tea under it right now. So grateful for kind strangers!

I’m starting to get crows feet and honestly, I love it. 🥹 a reminder that I have smiled so often in life.

good news, my siblings care enough about my health to tell me my nieces are sick and they wont be coming to visit. bad news is they exposed everyone in the family so NO ONE is coming. i cant get caregiving last min and have to figure out how to take care of myself for a few days over Christmas. 😭

these LDN trials are so indicative of some of the root issues of clinical design for lc :( having LDN trials at even 1.5mg is so far removed from the actual process for people w lc or me. Patients are having to be their own chemists titrating up from .1mg... meanwhile trials are not reflecting that

three things i learned today from my medicaid hearing:
1. apparently medicaid benefits are doled out sequentially meaning if you are eligible for full scope MAGI medicaid you are automatically NOT eligible for wdp 250%?...
2. medicaid state hearings do NOT let you retrospectively enroll in wdp 250%
i have a medicaid hearing right now. No one sent me a link. The email they gave me returns an error. And they say to call ten minutes before your hearing and put you on hold. I am so fucking mad.

So the guy down the street replaced a shift sensor but the car still will not operate in reverse so I need to start raising funds for either someone to assess the transmission in my 20 year old car or to put toward a new car. 😔🫠😩😭

Got my car stuck in the snow and fucked up either the shift connector or the transmission and it’s gonna become a cascade if I can’t raise the funds for the repair.

Just a garbage way of living where everyone can just be crushed to slow death by billionaires.

Folks need to examine philosophically why it is that—in the span of just a couple of years—the leaders of the American Democratic, Canadian Liberal & British Labour Parties have all gone all in on assisred suicide (while making healthcsre harder to attain) www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/...

writing policy is so hard bc you are trying to work within this bureaucratic legalistic framework that does not allow for the creativity & imagination you so want + that people need

i have had a headache for a week over this fr. feels like ur just like adding a splash of water onto a roaring fire
