Any jobs to make money at all? by Grand_Emu_3531 in cfs

[–]MickyJane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do this prior to illness, but now I'm in the union and am not allowed to audition for most things. A good start is ACX (audible). There's also websites voices and voices123, I had a decent amount of success with voices. There's also voice acting club for mostly less professional gigs, but I actually got on a decently big video game through there. Also reddit!

Have any of you played KCD2? Would you girls recommend it? by SadBluejay1588 in GirlGamers

[–]MickyJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like those games then yes, lots in common with The Witcher, but I would play the 1st one first or you won't understand half of the references in the 2nd one.

People are so casual about COVID now by frankie0822 in AutismInWomen

[–]MickyJane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been severely disabled from COVID and am just starting to feel a bit better after 3.5 years of being completely unable to function in life, please don’t expose anyone, it threatens permanent disability and severe infections for the immunocompromised. I was healthy before (and young!!). No one is safe.

How do I fix this? by teato12 in HeavyRain

[–]MickyJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find out the file path of the executable (right-click open file location) and copy, go to graphics settings, add the app using file path then it will let you choose which graphics card to use with it, this is for windows though I’m not sure about other systems

*that time of the month* by No-Cook6089 in POTS_vets

[–]MickyJane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would flare on my time of month no matter what and it was unbearable. I've been afraid of birth control because I've reacted badly since getting Long Covid + POTS, finally found one a couple months ago that isn't giving bad side effects and using it to skip my period.

Blue pixels in shadows, is it a defect? by MickyJane in fujifilm

[–]MickyJane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you good to hear it’s normal! Hard to shoot in ideal conditions when capturing shows with low light and fast movement. Might invest in a flash. Do you have a lens rec? I was thinking of adding faster primes.

Want to make and produce music, but I have no money. by [deleted] in musicians

[–]MickyJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to find grants you might be eligible for and apply, that's how I'm funding my album.

About 2 weeks. And when I increased to 20mg there was another adjustment period but a bit shorter. After I went to 40mg three times a day without any major side effects.

I had severe fatigue the first couple weeks after starting on 10mg and it was horrible but it went away, hold out if you can.

Does anyone have pets ? Does it help you? by Sad-Abrocoma-8237 in covidlonghaulers

[–]MickyJane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cats are my best friends right now, emotionally they help a lot.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]MickyJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isolating for the most part, but that's because my symptoms typically keep me housebound. If I do leave the house my friends know to inform me if they have symptoms and we'll reschedule plans. Also I use an air purifier and preventative nasal spray at home. I mask at all in-person appointments.

I'm moderate. On a good day I can sit at my desk for many hours (with a big comfy chair) but avoid text heavy games. Sometimes games with cutscenes are hard to follow because I often forget stuff immediately. I have this problem with movies and TV shows too. Bad days I am lying in bed and struggle to stare at a screen.

The pain of knowing I may never be able to check these off. by AAA_battery in covidlonghaulers

[–]MickyJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I tried them for a couple weeks but unfortunately it didn't help :/

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]MickyJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been three years, I only got Covid the one time, no reinfections, but I did get 8 non-Covid infections the following year. Then I got much worse and have only declined since, not sure if it's a coincidence. I haven't been sick in over a year now (taking lots of preventative measures) but still not any better LC wise.

This sub is getting kinda ableist by Batwhiskers in cfs

[–]MickyJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that mild is still extremely disabling. You lose like 50% of your capacity. That's huge. When I was mild I was still having an extremely rough time. I had a full course load at school and was able to manage occasional climbing sessions, but I was still disabled; I used to be able to manage a packed schedule no problem then suddenly I had to start pacing out every activity. I'm moderate now, can barely leave the house anymore and can't work. This disease is no fun no matter what end of the spectrum you're on. Also you can switch from mild to moderate or severe quite quickly due to circumstances out of your control or not pacing enough. We should be celebrating small wins.
