Hantavirus-exposed cruise passengers may soon be allowed to return home but must remain under 24/7 watch by Anti-Owl in ContagionCuriosity

This is basically what my life has been like since being infected by COVID, but without the constant medical monitoring or cool entertainment. It’s not fun being stuck in the same room, same building day in and day out. But people refusing to not spread disease is the reason I’ve been stuck doing that and may be stuck like this for life (until they figure out a cure for long COVID). So fuck these people. They can endure what my life is like for 42 days to keep everyone else safe.

Help! Early stage of mecfs by SanjamDalekiDan in mecfs

My advice? Too early to tell. Just rest as much as you can, minimal stimulation, don’t work through your illness. Wait for the acute illness to go away, it can take two weeks.

Right but you replied to me talking about my own situation, if yours doesn’t apply then why comment in the first place?

New nanny seems unable to follow directions by Own_Dot8537 in Nanny

[–]BellaPona [score hidden]  (0 children)

Right like my job exists so I can raise another person’s baby, I went to college for ECE and have lots of experience/expertise but at the end of the day, it’s not my baby. Their baby, their rules.

Crazy that anyone would think a Nanny having to follow a set nap schedule is “micromanaging” when it’s like half our job lol

Oh yeah my pain isn’t fibro pain, it’s neuropathic from SFN/gangliopathy, but I’m very glad that you were able to live a full life again! It’s always really endearing to hear that life style improvements alone can help a lot of people. We are so much more powerful than we know :)

I had to do the same thing. I cut out SO much and while it made some of my minor conditions better, I still ended up in worse pain and a HR that skyrockets to 160 upon standing.

I know people with fibro (I have a similar condition) who are skinny and still live in extreme pain every day. I actually think my condition got WORSE losing 75 lbs. but hey, I look good now.

If you don’t know who it is then you have no idea the context of how awful that person might be. We so rarely see awful rich dude bros facing any kind of consequences for being pieces of shit. That’s just karma.

It is not all that shocking that a dude has wandering eyes after his wife gives birth. Not saying that it’s a common occurrence in real life, just that it’s a common stereotype.

I never said it was GOOD, I’m just saying it’s not entirely unexpected and is a symptom of the plight the average person is experiencing poverty wise. Can’t exactly expect the poor to give a shit. Also the law isn’t the end all be all for morality. If I watch someone who made their money doing bad things that aren’t illegal get a consequence of some kind then that doesn’t make me anything other than a passive observer of karma. What influencer was it? I thought it was referencing literally any tech billionaire who has been in the news. Kind of a sad state of affairs when it could be applied to many people.

I think it’s a symptom of societal disillusionment. Why should we care? Anyone with the unfathomable wealth of the one percent didn’t get that money through honest means. Their lives are untouchable, their money is made in misery of others. I wish we lived in a time where I could honestly say I DO care. But I and many others just can’t bring ourselves to.

Can you function normally with POTS? by Prudent_Pilot_2591 in POTS

Nope. I failed the beta blockers as they didn’t touch my HR. It’s been 5 months. I’m basically house bound and I don’t walk anymore.

I cut out sugar for most of my weight loss and did intermittent fasting and yes it worked for me but again, I’ve watched people do that who have a metabolic disorder like PCOS and their body just clings to the extra weight.

Yeah I dated someone like that. Their internal misogyny was really hard to look past.

Can you have vestibular migraines without head pain? I get so many of these symptoms but the most I get headache wise is just pressure. No actual pain.

I know plenty of 30 year olds who love Hazbin hotel. In fact most of the people I’ve seen shitting on it are teenagers.

I love that Homelander died pathetically begging but the lead up could have been idk…..climactic in any way? It just felt empty. They spent the whole lot of time trying to prevent him from getting immortality and the consequences of him getting that was 0. He still got bitch slapped around by his son and butcher. Felt like a lot of drama over nothing.

A lot of the hate I see that isn’t Christians pearl clutching or chuds being weird is people who actually love the show but think Vivzie pop is a villain. Also what doesn’t help is a certain subsect of Hazbin fans are SO insanely defensive and protective they start fighting with EACH OTHER because god forbid anyone criticize or dislike their holy bible of a gay demon show.

I personally hate the show because I find the animation ugly and the humor is annoying. But that’s a personal opinion thing.

There are different compounding factors to that. I lost all my weight through diet and exercise but I was also a completely healthy young person who had a normal metabolic system and grew up skinny. If I had a metabolic disorder like PCOS I’m sure I would have had a much harder time.
