Having a rough health week.

Or longer?

The worse the health struggles and amount of symptoms, the easier it is to lose time.

I know many of y'all can relate. 😓

Fibro flare/fatigue has gotten to the point of feeling feverish.

Only thing that can break this cycle is sleep, but that doesn’t seem likely anytime soon with how far we still are from being able to pay for shelter. 😰

I absolutely hate "living" like this, but I am proud that my family is still alive.

Just wish it was more than just barely surviving, I don't know how much longer we can handle this. 😓

From New Zealand:

“This support tool is a series of videos with downloadable information for everyone who has, or thinks they might have, . It will also be useful for people who have other post viral illnesses like ME/#CFS.”

I haven’t vetted but the fact an ME charity created it gives me some confidence.

“Clinicians may consider using a symptom-management approach called activity management, which has been shown to be helpful for people with ME/#CFS. Also known as pacing, this activity management approach enables a patient to find their individual limits for physical and mental activity to mitigate symptom flare-ups.[5]”

Right now I'm in autistic burnout on top of long covid, and it was reverse for my partner, poor thing.

My point is, I used to be a lot more fun and interesting, and I deeply hope to get some of that passion back someday.

We have barely been surviving for so long, we're both/all (we're both plural/have DID) SO very deeply exhausted, and we have lost all of our shine. 😟

Oh great, I'm sick.

Things have been so chaotic and busy lately, and being chronically ill our entire life, I didn't think much of having a bit of a sore throat the last few days (I know, I Know) because it's been rainy and windy and our body always acts up with weather changes.

But I finally looked at my tonsils a bit ago, and oh my Gawd 😫

Idk what to do, I don't have the time or money to be sicker than I already am 😭
