So since my disabilities have the nerve to be super disabling during Disability Pride month. How dare they lol
Zio Patch is holding on as well as my sanity does on a daily visit. Looks like a wpund vac you just got a seal on but you are securing that s**t down for deer life. Or a 3am ostomy change that you just got a seal on lol. If you know you know home health life. 4 bloofy days and already coming off. Trying to get it to stay with silicone dressing.
You are one expensive human being when you have already reached donut hole in 13 days on Medicare. Thank goddess for extra help and Medicaid.
You know you have pots when felt s**tty all day literally couldn't stand without almost passing out. Finally give in to do any extra 250ml bolus bag of Saline before tonights liter. When you suddenly crave more salt so you have hubby make ramen w/ adobo (can't have the packets because of maltodextrin). Literally salt in vein and salt in through mouth. There is a chance was bordering on hyponatremia. I take in 5-8grams sodium day and still can wind up on border. Now to see if sluggish Sally keeps down ramen usually 50/50 chance.
Justt found out today is global ME Day to raise aware of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ie me/cfs. You know what I just foubd out apparently today is world me day as it is Florence Nightingale's birthday. She became chronically ill from a bacterial infection and was often bedridden later in life. ME/CFS was not defined in her lifetime, but many medical historians believe she developed an ME/CFS-like illness. Honestly the me/cfs part of long covid-19 has honestly taken more from me then the complications easily quantifiable . I don't know if would be mostly bedbound if didn't have me/cfs and pem. https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/resources/awarenessday.html
Especially after ivig and only 7 Benadryl this time.
Ok knock on wood other then exhausted, mildly sore, irritable, nauseous, and intermittent low grade temp 99.4. I'm ok. I have felt way worse after a "1st" dose of ivig before. As I said I knew there was possible torture before my body gets used to it. Knock on wood no migraines, aseptic meningitis symptoms. I'm doing ok.
Yesterday was a little rough with mcas please pray, energy, thoughts today is a little easier.
Please pray, send energy, light candles, Reiki you name it that my IVIG with new nurses goes well tomorrow and continues to goes well. No drama, no issues, no judgemental nurses. Mallys the mast cells behave. Wonky Wilma the brain behaves no aseptic meningitis. Also please send for our family in general lots going in right now. Lots of stressors right now. We can use all the help we can get.
Unfortunately so true. I really need to learn to just say I'm fine. People really don't want to know.
Home dead so much pain but so worth it. Took 2 fake energies, liquid IV, lots of friends but made it. Thank you Mary Daisley for the Reiki helped me make it up the stairs. So sad can't be there tomorrow but there's no way but so grateful made it for today. It was so amazing seeing our Pagan/Vendor family. Wishing each and everyone of you an amazing turnout tomorrow.
I'm going to The Magickal Marketplace & Psychic Fair today for couple hours in afternoon will use fake energy, loop ear plugs, and Wheelie but if don’t hear from me for 3-5 days that's why lol. Can't wait to see everyone so worth it. Wouldn't miss it for world.
Dude all of this. I am just so bloody tired boss.
Ok who took this picture of me. Confess lol.
Please pretty please lol
All the bloody time. Just getting dressed registers as a marathon.
The CDC has nevered cared about anyone but being the hurry up and get people back to work center. They treated us health care professionals as disposable work sick in trash bags and now f**k immune compromised, elderly, and disabled. Did you know with each covid-19 infectionyoyr fisk if joining our reins increases. Tge CDC has never cared and never will. Take care if yoursel because nobody else will. They don't care. Reposted@withregram • How long are you contagious with COVID-19?
Here's what the science says:
➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days
➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset
➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever
➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness
➡️ Individuals can be infectious before the onset of symptoms
➡️ Asymptomatic cases represent around 20 to 40% of all infections
The best way to tell when you are not infectious anymore is to have consecutive negative tests for COVID. And if you are unable to stay home the entire time, please wear an N95 mask to prevent spreading the virus to others.

Here's hoping
Both my MA and NH RN licenses renewed. Didn't know how bloody triggering this was going to be. There are so many unknowns. Will I ever be able to be any kind of nurse again? I am just not ready to let go of this part of me yet.
My ride is here lol 😆 😄 🤪 ☺️ 😌

Me/cfs is a very lonely "alone" disease. Nothing like being letdown and abandoned by healthcare once again. Sometimes I wonder if the medical trauma is worse then the crap I survived as a child. #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longhaulers #postcovidsyndrome #postacutesequelaeofcovid #neuropasc #neurolongcovid #pots #potsyndrome #potssyndrome #hyperpots #severeasthma #severeasthmasucks #asthma #vocalcorddysfunction #induciblelaryngealobstruction #muscletensiondysphonia #adrenalinsufficiency #mecfs #postviralfatiguesyndrome #dysautonomia #mcas #mastcellactivationsyndrome #gidysmotility #gastroparesis #slowgimotility #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonielife #chronicillnesschronicles

Mr. ED is rearing it's ugly head. My non-p*rging b*limia is killing me. First LC and GP made it so lost weight zero control of my own and now I am gaining limited control of my own. Have intake call tomorrow with Equip a virtual Mr. ED clinic. Why do we have to talk in code words this is ridiculous? #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longhaulers #postcovidsyndrome #edrec0very #postacutesequelaeofcovid #neuropasc #neurolongcovid #pots #potsyndrome #potssyndrome #hyperpots #severeasthma #severeasthmasucks #asthma #vocalcorddysfunction #induciblelaryngealobstruction #muscletensiondysphonia #adrenalinsufficiency #mecfs #postviralfatiguesyndrome #dysautonomia #mcas #mastcellactivationsyndrome #gidysmotility #gastroparesis #slowgimotility #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonielife #chronicillnesschronicles

So busy with appointments for myself and family. Able to leave house 1 day a week w/ moderate difficulty and some crashing. #homeinfusion #ivig #iviginfusion #asepticmeningitis #portcare #portacath #salineinfusions #ivport #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longhauler #neuropasc #neurolongcovid #pots #potsyndrome #potssyndrome #hyperpots #severeasthma #severeasthmasucks #vocalcorddysfunction #muscletensiondysphonia #adrenalinsufficiency #mecfs #postviralfatiguesyndrome #dysautonomia #mcas #mastcellactivationsyndrome #gidysmotility #gastroparesis
