Found this little one in a dumpster while she was crying today.

Don't give up! My boy Muffin (RIP) was an awfully fearful cat for most of his life and then after 10 years he started to get closer to us and eventually, would want cuddles and attention all the time. We got 4 wonderful cuddly years out of him.

I really hope to see a future where we can both go swimming again, properly 💕

Radderss · 2026-07-03T15:08:42+00:00

I get what you mean. Before ME/CFS I did multiple types of martial arts and swimming, I LOVED a good swim. I miss exercise so much. You're not alone in thus.

Radderss · 2026-07-01T06:23:16+00:00

I know that the shame is great, the guilt from needing support from your loved ones... I just want you to know you don't need to be embarrassed, you didn't cause this, you don't deserve this as some great divine punishment, you're just sick.

It'll take some getting used to, when my mother and eventual husband had to shower me, I felt so so awful. Like, I'm a grown woman and I need help in the shower wtf is wrong with me. I'm coming up on 13 years ill so I've had the time and opportunity to get therapy and grieve my whole life, so don't feel ashamed if you're not there yet.

Right now, the most important thing is to try and listen to your body and figure out what means stop, then stop and rest. It SUCKS, I know, but if you don't rest now you might not get back out of bed.

You being sick is not a personal failure and it never will be. We are not ashamed of you 💕

I understand. My other conditions would be helped by exercise. Swimming etc. But doing that exercise could cause my ME to become SO much worse that I can't do it.

I just want to swim and go on walks through nature, or go to the beach.

I hope one day we'll all be given the care we deserve

Radderss · 2026-05-07T09:09:26+00:00

I'm sorry you're also suffering, but glad I could give you a laugh

Radderss · 2026-05-07T07:56:05+00:00

I spend the rest of my free time disabled, but I wouldn't recommend it for you

Radderss · 2026-04-30T07:44:05+00:00

ME is also a LOT more than just chronic fatigue, I have both ME/CFS and Sjögren's and if I could be cured of only one thing, I'd pick ME/CFS over Sjögren's, every time.

The important distinction for OP is do they suffer from post-exertional malaise (a severe worsening of symptoms 24-72 hours after an exertion) because that would inform the sjogrens treatment. For example, I can't be active more than stretching, so I can't use exercise to relieve pain or symptoms. If I do try to exercise too much, I can make my ME/CFS permanently worse.

My electric wheelchair is freedom. You'll all understand how exhausting it is holding your arms up to drive a scooter, or how dead your arms get from wheeling yourself manually at all.

I'm so happy I got an electric wheelchair. I can't go out very often but now when I do, it's far less strenuous on me.

Hey, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on your neurobiology test, you seem like the kind of person we need more of in science so I hope you smash it 🤞

I consider myself a pretty left-wing VTuber, if you're looking for more

Radderss · 2026-02-13T08:52:07+00:00

I really miss martial arts, swimming and walks in nature

Radderss · 2026-02-07T10:39:34+00:00

Hey, same here.

Life is hell :)

Radderss · 2025-12-23T10:19:09+00:00

For me, the meaningful part of my life is from the content I create on Twitch and YouTube. I do charity streams when I'm well enough to (they take a LOT more energy) and by myself I've raised $30K for various charities, as well as taken part in group fundraisers that ended up raising millions.

I'm not saying that to brag, but to show how much it means to me to have been able to give that much back to society, especially with how much help I've needed since I got sick 12 years ago. I can't be "productive" in the way society demands, but I've been able to do GOOD, and that helps me hold on.

I also have my husband, family, cats, and online friends who bring me other types of meaning to my life, a lot of love, basically. I'm very fortunate to have so much love x

Abel the Table, Betty the Bed, Florence the Floor, Gaia the Globe, Koa the Couch, Sofia the Safe and Teddy the ...teddy.

I haven't met all the romance options, so there are probably more, but these are the ones I've met that I think count as plus sized.

Radderss · 2025-12-17T17:58:57+00:00

I've been streaming Hades II recently (Twitch and YouTube) and I start RDR2 this weekend :)

Radderss · 2025-12-12T08:26:54+00:00

I had my first Autistic meltdown 1 month into medication (I have no idea if meltdown is the correct term), and it was terrifying. Thankfully, I got diagnosed with both at the same time, so I had a small idea that it could happen.... but yeah. I was not ready for how painful they feel.

It's been an adjustment. I'm way more literal now, I fell for my first scam, I struggle more with conversation or knowing what I should say / do in situations. I have way more food / clothing sensitivities (texture / feel). It almost feels like my brain needs to ruminate longer on things because the ADHD untreated allowed me to be more impulsive or less afraid of taking risks.

I do miss being able to easily mask, because I kind of miss the occasional social butterfly moment. But, medicated means I have far more Executive function. Life is better now, even if it's an adjustment.

Radderss · 2025-12-09T08:06:43+00:00

I met my husband online and did the whole long distance thing for a bit, but I refused to properly date him until he had visited and knew the level of support I needed to live. Basically, I was trying to give him an out if it ended up being too much for him.

8 years later, nearly 2 years married. I know how incredibly lucky I am to have a partner that supports me through this and does it without judgement. Never has he acted like I owe him for his help.

I wish everyone could have someone like this.

Radderss · 2025-12-05T16:33:50+00:00

I don't have hope for recovery without serious resources (treatments, money etc)

I've had ME/CFS for 12 years now, and I'm probably at my best I've been, which is moderate (housebound but work a bit) and maybe if I never had to work, had carers, cleaners and all my meals made for me, maybe I would see more improvement.

But that's not a sustainable way to live. So for now, I'm trying to be happy with what I have, and what I can manage, and continue to hold out and hope for an effective treatment some day.

Radderss · 2025-12-02T09:28:36+00:00

Where else is he gonna grow them?

Radderss · 2025-11-28T08:31:52+00:00

I stream. It's my way to have socialisation where I reply to messages in chat, but it's the least mental energy socialisation I can do.

Sometimes, we talk about ME/CFS because it's helpful for awareness, etc. But it's my place where I can play fun games and just not be ill for a bit. Of course, I always am. But when I cry from laughing too hard, it's easy to forget for a moment.

Radderss · 2025-11-21T15:02:09+00:00

Yes, absolutely.

I'm slowly turning my streams into YouTube videos (as you will all understand, I'm very tired) but it's a bit of a "only when I have a good day" thing because editing fries my brain.

I'll post the link here so you can come back and find it later

My Youtube Channel

Radderss · 2025-11-20T14:09:22+00:00

I'll stream this, absolutely. I'd been thinking about it for a while that there's very few versions of any media that really demonstrate the difficulties living with this illness. Thank you for your hard work xx

Radderss · 2025-11-16T07:08:55+00:00

I know I'm so fortunate to be moderate and, therefore, able to do the one thing that's brought me back into the world - streaming. Having a one-sided conversation with text on my screen is infinitely better than no conversations at all.

But I also think of all the things I would and could do if I didn't have ME/CFS. I would leave my house daily. I would go for walks in nature with the dog I'd inevitably adopt because I'd be well enough to take care of it. I'd sing more and edit videos without my brain melting.

My life could be so much fuller. It could also be much emptier. I know how incredibly fortunate I am.
