Follow Dawn! #SpoonieChat was the inspiration for #MigraineChat and it wouldn’t be what it is without her community as a model.

If #migraine isn’t specifically your thing, but another chronic illness/disability is, her community is incredibly welcoming. Let’s help it grow!
Hi. This is Dawn from Spoonie Chat.

One of the things that can be so hard when living with a chronic illness is accepting post-exertional malaise (PEM). Today, I went to get a click-and-collect from 5 mins down the road. This has been followed by an hour (still ongoing) of just sitting here staring into space 🤪🫠🙃

Share this thread with your friends who have #migraine. Let them know about #MigraineChat and how using the hashtag can connect them with a network of others who get it.

Learn about the other ways to stay connected, too.

Updating my pinned 🧵 :

I'm not active on Twitter anymore, so I'm rebuilding the #migraine and #MigraineChat community here. A few ways to connect....

The original MigraineChat feed stopped working, so like and pin this one. It works the same.

Monday's #MigraineChat questions are now posted for those who like to prepare ahead of time! Check the link in the post below 👇🏻.

Like, repost, tag a friend with #migraine or really any chronic illness. The questions aren't migraine specific. All welcome!

We’re going to experiment and try holding #MigraineChat here on BlueSky. What is MigraineChat? It is an hour-long interactive chat where I post questions and you answer. Learn more at bit.ly/MigraineChat and mark your calendar for Mon., Dec., 2nd @ 2pm ET (note the special time).

One of the many crappy things about having M.E. is that sometimes the things you need to do for your mental health - in this case going for two long sunny walks with my dog - means that I’m now utterly physically wiped out. #ME #CFS #MECFS #disability #chronicillness #spoonie #spooniechat

Q1. If you were on Twitter/X, were you part of a chronic illness community over there; e.g., the NEISvoid, SpoonieChat, or #MIgraineChat?

What did that community mean to you? #MigraineChat

Would love to connect with more disabled and/or chronically ill academics on here (and disabled peeps generally). Any tips for how to best do that? Not sure I’ve got the hang of bsky hashtags yet… #disability #MECFS #disabledscholars #disabledacademic #spooniechat #spoonie

A couple of people have asked me today why I push myself to do stuff like my workshop recording giveaway when I'm feeling so ropey (and today I feel like the ropiest of ropes), so an explanation (for anyone who's interested) of how this helps me cope (yes, this is #SpoonieChat)...

I was part of the NEISvoid community and occasionally dipped my toe into SpoonieChat or #MigraineChat. It was nice knowing there were people who knew what the challenges I face and how complicated life can be with chronic illness.

I made my account private but haven't left yet. I'm conflicted because I learned SO MUCH from #NEISvoid, #SpoonieChat, #DisabilityTwitter, etc.

And I hate that we are losing that incredible knowledge base b/c people are deleting content. I get it, but I wish there were a way to save it.

So glad to see you and #SpoonieChat here!

This Bodega cat is a shoe in for employee of the month!

Looking forward to seeing more #SpoonieChat ppl here.

On a personal note, I have been 36 for two weeks and it has been *horrible* so far.
There's no actual correlation between my birthday and this whole slew of shenanigans but it does feel like salt in the wound.
Missing my #neisvoid, #spooniechat, & #chronicillness communities from the bad place. ❤️‍🩹

T-minus 15 minutes. Will you be joining #MigraineChat?

Remember, asynchronous participation is welcomed, too. So if you see this later, feel free to add your thoughts.

Share with you friends with #migraine!

Tagging in #NEISvoid and #SpoonieChat.
See you in one hour (2pm ET) for our first BlueSky #MigraineChat where we will get acquainted and talk about what the transition from Twitter/X has been like (for those who moved over).

This will be an experiment, so bear with me!

The most annoying question has to be “what do you want for Christmas?” as an adult! I don’t even know what I want/need on a daily basis apart from medication, comfy pj’s & peace 😂 #spooniechat #spoonielife

We’ll chat about the experience of transitioning to BlueSky and (re)establishing our communities. The questions aren’t necessarily specific to #MigraineChat so if you are part of the #NEISvoid or #SpoonieChat communities and want to join, please come! (12/2, 2pm ET). See ⬆️.

Awww! Thanks. You're giving me feelings in my eyes.
#SpoonieChat loves #MigraineChat!

Quick rant: if I, a disabled person, am using disability-first language it’s because I meant to, not because I didn’t get the memo! So-called ‘person first’ language is fine if that’s your choice. It’s not mine. Now sit down. #disability
