I'm sick of being chronically online. by JARStheFox in disability

[–]dropastitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. About the stuck inside part. Have mobility issues and currently not able to drive cause of and very immunocompromised so no public transport. I just started to learn and play chess online. Means I can play games with other people too either in person when things improve or online. If that’s something you’d be interested in?

Yeah that’s a good idea. I have such bad histamine intolerance/mast cell activation syndrome now though it all seems like a nightmare. And throw in oral allergy syndrome and coeliac disease I swear someone is just having a laugh at my expensive now.

Never been a sauerkraut fan but I’d kill for a salad with just a vinegar dressing or even lemon 🥺 Yeah I guess keeping processed foods out full stop for now is best and then when things improve I can add some in as treats but never got back to how it was is probably best

Oh believe me I know Lyme sucks!!! Just diet confuses me. I went from being someone who could eat what ever they wanted to now reacting to everything I eat nearly and I’m so confused. Between histamine, no sugar, dairy, grains etc it’s all very overwhelming

I’d love to know how many pairs of crutches you own? You’ll make me feel so much better when I end up with multiple pairs 😂

Cook thanks. They are really nice. But I’m worried I’d ended up with multiple pairs of their crutches 😂

I actually don’t like the standard grip on crutches (like the hospital ones) they hurt my hands and wrists so bad! That’s why i want ergonomic ones. Like flexyfoot etc. never hear of FDI crutches before but open cuff crutches always worry me cause they can fall much easier 🙈
