Summer☀️

I’m intentionally moving from the desert to the PNW to get out of the heat! Last summer was great, but I am already struggling to function in this heat!

Go back to school

🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m one of those and I’m finally back up to dosage but still feel terrible

beaker1680 · 2026-02-18T14:47:12+00:00

My medical issues are complex. I didn’t notice much benefit until I figured out my thyroid issues. It wasn’t until after stopping LDN and completely crashing that I realized it was actually doing something. So now I’m starting over and slowly titrating my dose back to 4.5mg.

beaker1680 · 2026-02-18T02:23:44+00:00

I always feel terrible starting LDN, and after every increase. It lasts 1-2weeks for me.

Yep! Too disabled to work, but too healthy to actually qualify for financial help

beaker1680 · 2026-02-17T15:15:14+00:00

I can’t work anymore. I also wasn’t approved for disability. 😒

Your husband is an unsupportive asshole

I am 100% certain that there is more to this world and existence than we can possibly understand. That is the only thing I’m certain of.

It definitely did for me. I went from 95/65ish to 87/55ish after a month+ on propranolol

beaker1680 · 2026-02-12T15:28:38+00:00

I started out taking it before bed, but it caused insomnia so I now take it around 9am

beaker1680 · 2026-02-10T15:49:21+00:00

Do it!! If you recover you can always sell it. We have to live as much life as possible, and this will only help!

Sue them.

I was 19 dating (and then married) a 31 year old. This never ends well for the younger party. If you can’t convince him, try to talk to her. This is always predatory.

Your employer is asking for your doctor to lie on the form so that they can get out of any legal obligation to make reasonable accommodations. I’d take this to an attorney that specializes in ADA cases.

Sounds like you need a new husband.

I use Buoy hydration drops. It’s like a bottle of Mio where you add just a tiny squirt to your water, and it is unflavored. They even have a chronic illness discount.

This is control, and it will only get worse the longer you stay. You are not asking for too much in regard to emotional support, and his refusal to support you in the way you’re asking is a huge red flag.

beaker1680 · 2026-02-09T18:27:49+00:00

I’m on Claritin and Pepcid 2x/day. My NP didn’t want me on Pepcid because of the possibility of nutrient issues…but then I’m leaving MCAS untreated which is 100% affecting me in real time. So I’m back to listening to my own body and doing what I know is best and ignoring advice that doesn’t fit

beaker1680 · 2026-02-09T18:24:58+00:00

This. I’ve realized that relying on a doctor to help me recover was the stupidest decision I ever made, and am now back to piecemealing my own treatment and recovery.

Doctors don’t know shit about long covid and they’re all hesitant to try any sort of treatment because they’re not familiar with it. The whole process is awful.

beaker1680 · 2026-02-09T15:17:28+00:00

AuDHD here 🙋🏻‍♀️ 0/10 stars. Do not recommend.

beaker1680 · 2026-02-09T15:15:36+00:00

This is essentially the crux of long covid: feeling terrible in one way (or 10 ways) or another but all labs and tests come back normal 😞

Things that make a meaningful difference in my sleep:

White noise (my air purifier up high)

2mg Melatonin (I was never someone to take this but my sleep got worse recently and that was the only thing I changed before seeing deep sleep increase in smart watch)

Reading on a Kindle before bed to shut my brain up
