We were discussing the concept of "self" in college one day and my lecturer was confused because I was describing my conscious self, subconscious self and body as three separate beings. It's something I've started doing since #AcquiredDisability because my conscious self doesn't have full control of my body at all times #fibromyalgia then there is sometimes arguments between my #subconscious (which I call my os) and #conscious .

I will very often recommend #SpoonTheory to anyone recently diagnosed or struggling with a condition that causes #ChronicFatigue . Why? Because context is everything and usually ppl with these conditions are told to "pace yourself" with zero context. What is pacing to someone who used to do all the things?Its like waking up in someone else's broken body and not having a user manual. #AcquiredDisability #fibromyalgia #MECFS #ChronicFatigue #ChronicPain #LongCovid

@tgent_fens @LongCovidPharmD @longcovid I'm seeing a lot of #LongCovid sufferers falling into the trap of alt medicines that so many with #AcquiredDisability fall into too. It can be a cripplingly expensive and often fruitless journey. There are a few #ScienceBased and #WooFree groups out there for ppl with conditions like #MECFS and #fibromyalgia which have similar symptoms to #LongCovid they are worth talking to. Also if you haven't heard of #SpoonTheory it's worth looking up
