Everyone in the #NEISvoid, let's welcome Beth Dobbin to Bsky:
Hi everyone, I’m new to Bluesky but we’ve been working on something 🙏🏼 I’ve written a second letter to Andy Burnham, alongside 360 sports people, to urge him to meet with me and fund research into my much neglected health issue which impacts millions of others.

It's not yet 6am, and my day is basically done, because I cleaned the sink, and my POTS body is now on strike until certain conditions are met. #NEISvoid

[Medical BS]

I am glad don't have to explain chronic illnesses like POTS and MCAS to my doctors anymore

But also I'm...concerned about the number of doctors who have picked up frankly incorrect info about POTS and MCAS

(Not even just the "it's over diagnosed" bias)

As promised I'll be running a #PatrickStewartMemorialStream this week in the #ChronicLoaf stream

Today we'll spend #AnimeMonday watching some of Stewart's animated work. And there's a lot of it!

taught another doctor how to pronounce "myalgic encephalomyelitis" today!

i like to think i'm contributing to medical providers' continuing education voluntarily! not because nobody knows, of course!

Protip: Benzonatate (Tessalon pearls) works better if used on a schedule rather than as needed. I've been on it twice daily for years; does a good job of keeping my chronic cough in check.

You know someone with Long COVID. They need you to ask about it genuinely. - The Sick Times
If community-building is a bulwark against autocracy, then asking after one another might be a good place to start.

It really sucks when it feels like your whole body is revolting, but you have to wait until January to be seen by someone about it.

so a thing that really fucked over my ability to cook for *checks notes* years is : meal planning

the way it's typically described in books and whatnot just does not work for my chronically unpredictable body

plus it just doesn't work for my flavor of neurodivergence, either
