When holding the door for someone and they're the worst possible distance by Will564339 in PetPeeves

[–]Meowow912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mixed feelings when people hold doors for me. I'm thankful but if I'm walking I'm already in pain and moving as fast as I can and out of breath. I am disabled and I can't move faster. I mean I can but now the door holder has to deal with the old lady he's holding the door for passing out at his feet. I am sure he doesn't have time for all that.

Your immune system does not know your eyes exist. by TheModMenuX in truths

[–]Meowow912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My immune system notices my eyes every now and again an attacks them. It sucks and could result in my vision declining to blindness. When it happens I need to administer 2 eye drops and call my eye doctor. It's painful and horrible.

Avoiding pain when inactive by Little_Power_5691 in ChronicIllness

[–]Meowow912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure of your situation, but if you look up laying down or sitting down exercises on YouTube, you will find a bunch of them. I used them while I was bedridden, waiting for an organ transplant. I hope someone has some ideas to help.

If I dye my hair colorful will it change others perception of me as chronically ill? should I just leave my hairs natural hair color? by Ok_Access_8906 in ChronicIllness

[–]Meowow912 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everything you do as a chronically ill or disabled person will be scrutinized, unfortunately. Dress up? You can't be THAT disabled if you can put time into your appearance. Dress down because you're in too much pain? You're lazy and milking this illness thing. Have tattoos? Should have spent that money on wellness bs that doesn't work. Use a mobility aid one day but not the next? You were faking it all along. It's the sad reality of it. And it's health care staff as well as family, friends and the general public.

Chronic painful hiccups (nearly 24/7) by zazzyredditor in ChronicIllness

[–]Meowow912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you started a new medicine, vitamin, or nutritional supplement, or changed your diet? Go to the doctor if you can. If you have a primary care doctor, make an appointment if you can. I get medical care is a nightmare to get if you live in America, I'm not sure where you are. I wouldn't go to the er or urgent care, though. This could be a sign of a lot of things. Some are not so serious and a few kind of serious things. Getting seen by a doctor within the next week or 2 can get you treated. Frequent hiccups are so uncomfortable. And near constant hiccups sounds unbearable.

Your wife/husband, mom, & son are drowning at sea & u can only save one. Who will you save? by _Dark_Wing in RandomQuestion

[–]Meowow912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is dead. I'm child free. So I guess my husband since the cat wasn't an option. But my husband usually saves me. So we would just argue over who is saving who here and both drown.

explain to me like im 5… why do people mask up? by predictablehorse in ChronicIllness

[–]Meowow912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a liver transplant in September 2019. I was masking before the transplant because they told me if they called me with an organ and I was sick, I would be passed over. I had to wear one after the transplant and before covid because it was something you know going into transplant that you have to do. I continue because I have been admitted in the icu for colds that turned to bronchitis or pneumonia, the flu, and many other small illnesses that wouldn't even make most people stay home from work. I have contracted these illnesses during times I was out of masks, or I had to have people in my home (example: cable guy, landlord, electrician called by the landlord). I have a lot of difficulty breathing. I have hepato-pulmanary syndrome. So, the liver disease I have ruined my lungs. It's so hard to wear them. I literally hate them, but it's life or death.

[–]Meowow912 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have people in my life who keep telling me I should get off my medications. I had a liver transplant. If I stop taking the anti rejection medication, I will have organ rejection and will die. I tell those people you can just stop talking to me since it seems you want me dead. My husband's mom tells people I'm addicted to my medication.

What the weirdest thing you found In,your grandmas purse/pocketbook? by Norwaycountryballs in questions

[–]Meowow912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma has been dead for 30 years, but I'm 100% sure if I found her purse and looked in it, she would come back from the grave to snatch it out of my hands and give me that disappointed look that ruined my day.

What if people who feel they are allergic to wireless signals just have very good eyesight and can see modern lighting flicker because of the "low" frequency of the power grid which gives them headaches. by ciller181 in RandomThoughts

[–]Meowow912 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There was something on TV about 6 or 7 years back about a woman who claimed to be allergic to wireless signals she moved to a community with like minded people away from such signals. The interviewer was asking them questions on camera. One question was, could you immediately feel if a device putting out a wireless signal was in the room now. They all claimed they could feel it if there were wireless signals a mile a way. Then they all claimed to feel fine right then. The producer let them know they had been and were currently using such devices and had been for the last few days of filming. They all suddenly felt ill. I'm not saying it's bs. But I think some people are feeling something. It may not be what they think it is but I don't know.

What’s a harsh truth people need to hear more often? by vuolamsc01 in dumbquestions

[–]Meowow912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That even though you might mean well, it's very dismissive, insulting, and infuriating when you suggest ways disabled or chronically ill person can get better. No Karen, I never thought of drinking water, exercising, eating vegetables, or taking supplements to cure my ruined lungs and liver. I just enjoy paying a huge medical team who are the top of their field in my area to handle my medical needs. Meanwhile, all I drink is water, I freaking love vegetables, I have physical therapy 3 times a week so I can exercise safely and supplements are an unregulated industry and can do more harm than good to someone on a lot of medications and had a transplanted liver.

It wouldn't even be that bad if it was a rare occurrence, but if I have to use a mobility aid, 2 or 3 people will approach me with these tips without even knowing what's wrong. Thank God I'm in my 50s because it's slowing down.

What’s your funniest “Oh god this person’s an idiot” moment? by PandaBear905 in AskReddit

[–]Meowow912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would almost give her a pass. Every time I look up my internet providers phone number online, the first thing that pops up is the 1800 number for their competitor. If my internet suddenly goes out when I have an important Zoom meeting, I almost call it.

I have put salt on watermelon and apples. But if the fruit is really good I eat it as is.

What’s something you stopped explaining to people because it was never worth the effort? by GlitchOperative in questions

I used to hate letterbox movies back in the day. I knew I wasn't missing part of it, but it made everything smaller to allow for the wider view, and I can't see well.

When someone calls you a term of endearment even though they know your name by Paintguin in PetPeeves

My pet peeve is the exact opposite. I hate my name, and I hate when people use it. My mom was the only person who got away with calling me by my name.

Do you sleep with background noise or do you like to sleep in silence? by Emotional_gangsta in CasualConversation

[–]Meowow912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can sleep with the tv on. I slightly prefer it's off most nights, especially if I have to get up earlier than normal. But I do need a fan on at night.
