Why am I always hungriest when I have to fast for a medical appointment?

I can't sleep and my tummy hurts. My inner child is throwing a tantrum.

Bodies are so annoying and inconvenient.

Smudge is sitting at the foot of my bed 🥰

Suddenly my flaring TMJ from wearing a mask nonstop since I tested positive feels worth it.

Here's a picture from earlier this week of her having her favourite treat.

I have Covid.

Terrified my ME/CFS + POTS are going to get worse. And I need groceries but can't go out. Any encouragement or help with funds for delivery of electrolyte drinks, tissues + lactose free ice cream appreciated 💗

Two little girls recently adopted me as their "big sister" and I'm determined to give them a special Christmas: decorating cookies, crafting, presents, dinner.

Please help my little family make memories this holiday season ❤️🎄

Thank you!

I'm almost never up this early before going to the pain clinic, and I'm actually eating protein for the first time in days! Taking this as a good sign and feeling slightly less depressed today.

I'm amused at how ugly this photo is and the fact that I'm posting it anyway.

November has been especially hard for a lot of us 🫂

I don't know how I'm going to make it to the end of the week, let alone survive the month.

Please help me get to doctors, feed my family, and get meds.

Goal: 0/225

Why did the linen chemise fall out of fashion? Or did it just evolve into the lesser worn slip?

I have some ideas but I'd love your input, #BlueSkyHistorians.

Thank you. Because I am not. Chill? I don't know her.

Merry Christmas and happy Monday! I posted this on my Instagram because I think gingerbread is delicious and humour is how I cope with chronic pain.

How has your day been?

I definitely just called my forearms the "calves of my arms" because I couldn't think of the correct term 🙃 Body parts are often a brain fog trap for me.

Often when this happens (and this kind of thing happens often) I say to myself "I JUST WENT THERE TO STUDY ANATOMY".

Couldn't sleep because I'm more congested than usual. So I took a Covid test. (I mean, I'm up anyway. May as well confirm this is just my ME and/or MCAS being rude).

Fortunately, it's negative!

Isn't it weird we're occasionally relieved by chronic illness flares? 🙃

My mom and I are both severely chronically ill and we need mutual aid to get some food for us and our two emotional support rescue cats (one pictured below) and stomach medication we just ran out of. Goal of 150 please. 🙏💗 ➡️ PayPal.me/RebeccaEsther Thank you!!

Say hello to Smudge! This is her Bluesky debut. She's named for the little beauty mark on her face. She thinks Caturday should be every day.

I joined the Barbie movie hype and made this spoonie // disability meme because *points at self* This Barbie is disabled and wishes the world were more accessible for us all.

This patch of flowers brightened my day. Sometimes it's the little things ✨️ 🥰
