My daughter and I are navigating our new normal: my new diagnosis which requires IV medication for eight hours, every two weeks, for the rest of my life. —"Scarring" by @sherylstein.bsky.social in case you missed it

Hello, and welcome to today's edition of Stress Baking with Sheryl. Today was particularly tough. Bourbon Blondies.

So yeah. Be sure to underbake so they're nice and gushy.

About a year ago my left eye developed crazy pressure and I had to have eye surgery. Right eye has decided it is now its turn. 🙁 I have so much to do RN but my body has other ideas. #Dis #writing #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyill #writingcommunity #BookSky 📖

My #Halloween #costume this year is lady who fights highly resistant bacterial infection w/an ER trip & 4 IVs of some really tough-ass antibiotic.

Wanna know scary, boos & ghouls? Antibiotic resistance.

It's been so long since I had a terrible cold/upper respiratory infection that I'd forgotten how much it sucks.

Bleh.

In other news, my body comp at present is about 60% decaf tea. #sick #sickofbeingsick #chronicallyawesome

I'm sorry you have to be this strong. But know that YOU are VALID.

I face and defeat lupus and Sjogrens symptoms every day. Sometimes I don't win. That's okay. One day at a time. #rarediseaseday #chronicallyawesome #lupus #sjogrens #immunecompromised #chronicillness #spoonie
Last night, the chapel facade of Magdalen College was lit up ahead of #RareDiseaseDay.

A disease is classed as rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2000 people and there are over 3.5 million people living with a rare condition in the UK alone.

I forgot I'd taken the cap off of a protein shake, shook it, and just spent 90 minutes cleaning up the results from my kitchen. Thanks, prednisone.

Sitting in the airport trying not to stare at some of the strange agents. Found this medical mystery article from the WaPo about me and how I was diagnosed with #cvid. Posting in case it helps someone. @immunedeficiency.bsky.social #dis #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #primaryimmunodeficiency
An unusual coincidence solved the mystery of the scary nosebleeds and low platelet counts
Doctors couldn’t figure out what was causing her scary platelet count, but Sheryl Stein had a theory.

I am sharing this in solidarity with everyone that has any chronic illness or disability. We all struggle with something. Let’s all try to understand each other’s reality and apply our empathy.

It's #WorldPIWeek, muthas. Immunological knowledge keeps me and many others on the right side of the dirt. I will never be able to express enough gratitude to the #Immunology community, but I can try.

FUN FACT: Some of us manage to contract highly resistant bacterial infections &it's not as fun as you'd think.

Don't overuse #antibiotics fam. It's how we got into this mess. They work on #bacteria. Not in any #virus.

I really enjoyed taking the time to read Brittle Joints, a #graphicnovel by Maria Sweeney. She writes a lot of things that I feel when it comes to illness. #ChronicPain #ChronicallyAwesome #DoNoHarm #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy#USHealthcare

Today, we get to play the game: Where is my lifesaving medicine that was supposed to be delivered by noon today (sig req)?

A: On a plane in Indianapolis. Maybe the perishable stuff will show up tomorrow? Still cold?
