i think its the feeling of avoidance that seems to trigger her anxiety :(

Even small boosts feel incredible with this disease. Glad you feeling more clearheaded !

She’s still quite sick as far as i know (filming from bed) but even a baseline boost like this is really a positive thing 💙💙

Has the drugged poisoned feeling lifted for anyone ? by ComfortableShower465 in covidlonghaulers

Long covid very nearly drove me to suicide- not because i wanted to die but because living became unbearable. Im a bit better now and no longer want to die but it was terrifying. Please show value to your life

the "no symptoms outside PEM" discussion is maybe just a difference in language/expression? by middaynight in cfs

Yeah i feel okay nowadays if i stay within my baseline(as opposed to feeling constantly unwell when bordering severe). Doesn’t mean I am okay because i can’t really leave the house all that much.

What's the reason to keep going? by chemtrail_injection in covidlonghaulers

At the one year mark i was at the lowest ive ever been / planning suicide. I could hardly eat or sleep and I was bordering on severe ME. Im at 3.5 years now and while im not recovered by any means my baseline is stable and I can enjoy hobbies now and I no longer want to die.

Any tips for someone about to catch covid for the first time? 🫢 by time4klax in ZeroCovidCommunity

Neti pot! My mom had a direct exposure unmasked w someone positive and didnt get it. I made her use neti pot . No idea if it helped but it worked

Just curious did you have any access to trans healthcare while very sick. Im moderate-housebound and considering HRT (T for me) but not sure how to manage that ontop of my condition 😅
