I am so done with my family right now (parents and Scott excluded). I’m so tired of being made to feel guilty, being called a lazy brat, told to just push through it. I have pushed myself so far beyond and it’s never enough. I’m over begging to be believed. #longcovid #chronicillness

Oh in migraine updates, my doctor switched me from emgality to qulipta and omg it’s working a miracle for me. Migraines aren’t 100% gone but I’ve I had more headache free days in the last month than I had in the whole last year!

Welp, today I learned that the hardest part of taking out your own IV is the freakin tape. That stuff does not want to come unstuck.

Today is a complete cluster and I just really want to cry but I know crying is just going to make my migraine worse so. That’s where I’m at.

Ewww woke up to a tick on my side. After I got it removed I took a pic to try and figure out what kind it was. Google AI tried to tell me it was a bed bug. WTF google, like I’m not grossed out enough already. AI sucks.

I also have the me/CFS variety of Long Covid. Which again, I knew but it was really validating to have Drs see my PEM in real time. #longcovid

I have never been so excited to say something is wrong with me but I finally got autonomic testing. I have POTS! And disautonomia in general. I know I’m not crazy but it’s such a relief to see it on paper. #longcovid

Now that I have proper snow boots, walking in the snow is sooooo satisfying. Kinda like popping packing bubbles.

I love/hate this time of year. Love the lights and the cookies and snow if it happens. Hate the pressure and expectations and reminders of all of the things I can no longer do. 3rd covidversary coming up and it’s heavy. #longcovid

One of the harder parts of #longcovid for me is navigating family relationships. It’s gotten a little better over the last year but I still don’t have the support I probably need. I also do a lot of emotional labor. But I have to shout out to my husband. He is my rock and the absolute best.

So tripped and fell for the second time in a month yesterday. I don’t know if I’m allowed to walk unsupervised anymore.

Picked up my new cpap today. I’m weirdly excited to try it out. Fingers crossed it helps with the sleep.

I accidentally ran out of my LDN Rx about a month or so ago. I try to stay on top of refills but I’ve been increasing my dose and yeah, brain fog. I have to mail order it so I was out about two weeks. First couple of days were fine but by day 4 symptoms started coming back. 1/

Wandering around Philly for the first time in over a decade and man. My 20’s were a good time. I’ve been here in the intervening years but I haven’t had a night like this in ages.

Sometimes I make collages on my phone and share them on my instagram. Sometimes they’re film themed, I like smashing together my different passions.
