Trying to survive this sars2 apocalypse via my love of horror, and with my loved ones. LC since 1st infection 1/2022. Hard times.
My 5yr old just jokingly called me “a chronic kidney disease-er.” I wish there was a book on how to raise your kid when you have a chronic illness like LC. I hope more than anything I can manage to get her to her teen years w/out getting covid again.
This isn’t about making the streets safer. It’s about dehumanizing and punishing people for being poor.
NEW: President Donald J. Trump just signed an executive order to restore order to American cities and remove vagrants from our streets. Here is the text of the order: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it…
I laugh and make jokes but I’m not okay. This disease is all loss. Do I squeeze joy wherever I can fucking get it? Absolutely. It’s all I have.
"This virus is like cancer. It gets into every part of your body. When it gets there, it uses your body as a factory, whether it be the virus or it's the mRNA spike" "This virus has beaten us, we have the opportunity to fix it...but can the FDA even understand this science?"
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong Issues Urgent Warning: COVID-19 is Not Just a Respiratory Virus—It’s Like cancer "This virus has beaten us." In a chilling revelation, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong—renowned surgeon, scientist, and billionaire biotech pioneer—warns that COVID-19 is far more…
A lot of people were not alive for the early HIV/AIDS epidemic, & they do not remember ACTUP or advocacy campaigns that were aggressive & in-your-face. People united in anger. Since we’re in the same position once again, some are utilizing this strategy, but it is misinterpreted.
So true. But how do you get people to believe and wear a mask? My dad had emergency quadruple bypass heart surgery after covid. Now he doesn’t mask. He thinks he’s a superhero. He doesn’t attribute it to covid even though he has no history of heart issues.
Organ damage might affect over 50 % of post-COVID-19 individuals and perhaps more in adolescents and children. Review of organ damage from COVID and Long COVID: a disease with a spectrum of pathology - PMC pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…
AIDS deaths didn't become acknowledged until 7-10 yrs post infection when tbey began to die. I am seeing this with many cohorts encroaching upon yrs 5-6. Deteriorating, weakening, needing blood transfusions, confined to their beds still without a viable treatment and it does…
Freddy Mercury died of a heart attack while experiencing severe fatigue due to bronchial pneumonia; if we ignore the Lymphocytopenia. We have disremembered how many early AIDS patients were bedridden before their deaths. #LongCOVID is #AirborneAIDS so #WearN95
Imagine someone saying “You need to get on with your life.” You know, like open yourself up to death. A faster death. Much faster. “You’re on the back nine already—why not speedrun the whole thing?” God forbid you pause to avoid brain damage or long-term organ dysfunction. No,…
Miss you 💔
As I approach three uninterrupted years of illness, it's things like this I grieve for the most. I have no wish for notoriety, not heroism, nothing spectacular. I just want to go out, breathe air, be part of things. I want to feel joy again. #MECFS #LongCovid
I’m still in shock over the passing of @Bridget_OShea. She was so kind, she suffered so much. She had 1st MECFS and then LC, too. She had a space just last week. I particularly liked talking with her in the night spaces, but I saw her in LC spaces, too. She stayed out of the BS.
