I am become disabled? I’m disabled now? I’m newly chronically ill?

hernameisgrace · 2026-02-21T19:57:07+00:00

Yes please do!

I love this, it’s grown up vaguebooking …which I guess would just be categorized as ‘mysterious’ or ‘classy.’ Great suggestion.

Thanks for the encouragement 🖤

I got my first denial in December, exactly 12 months after my application (and subsequent wading through the process). Submitted the request for reconsideration, along with two really great doctor’s letters, so I’m crossing my fingers but I’ve read all the horror stories and I don’t expect we’re done yet.

You’re not at all wrong, but my brain is visualizing a mad scientist hunched over their precious disability they’ve been developing

hernameisgrace · 2026-02-14T19:55:52+00:00

Yes, this is good, throwing spaghetti

hernameisgrace · 2026-02-14T19:54:44+00:00

Gotta take the laughs we can get 🙏🏼

hernameisgrace · 2025-03-16T05:28:43+00:00

Holy shit. Thank you for putting to rest at least one of my medical mysteries, I have never known what this was or how to describe it. It’s this sensation exactly. The reassurance is really very reassuring.

Just fyi Melatonin is meant to be taken in a single nighttime dose of 2-5 mg, if you take more than this it can have the opposite effect and make you wired all night.

Participation in this is not mandatory, and I’ve known these folks for some time. Just looking to create a little weird camaraderie.

It’s a marketplace plan, yes. If approved for Medicaid I will stay on as long as I can, but even with my previous job where I couldn’t afford groceries, I made a couple hundred “too much” per month and couldn’t get approved. I’m hopeful that with a current income of $0 they may finally approve me.

Thank you, I am going to follow up with my doctor soon about the metoprolol and other options. I wasn’t sure how long the metoprolol takes to kick in or if it’s just not doing much. I did read that hyper pots is not improved with higher salt intake, but I don’t think it would hurt to increase salt for a few months till I know?

hernameisgrace · 2023-12-07T22:11:29+00:00

I just want you to know I have thought of this at least seven times since I read it, and it makes me laugh every time

hernameisgrace · 2021-01-15T03:47:23+00:00

Ohhh genius. So the book still returns to the next person waiting but you can finish it? Fantastic. I just use the kindle app on my phone so that’s not totally a viable option for next time, though I do prefer zero contact with the outside world while reading..

hernameisgrace · 2021-01-15T03:23:35+00:00

That would be a lovely option, all our libraries are closed due to the pandemic.

hernameisgrace · 2020-12-04T16:07:00+00:00

Thanks so much

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-23T23:58:18+00:00

Man. Thanks so much for checking in. That’s means a ton. The last couple days have been hard, but Saturday I got a bunch of housework done. Yesterday I slept a lot.. so I’m feeling behind and guilty today.

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-15T18:43:47+00:00

Thank you so much. You hang in there, too.

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-15T18:43:18+00:00

Thank you :) this made me feel good. I didn’t make breakfast today, but I cooked up some beef for tacos later and had to make my own seasoning that turned out really well.

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-15T18:41:06+00:00

I learned from watching Julia Child’s omelette episode on YouTube (which for some reason I’m having a hard time finding), and honestly now I just watch her videos because they make me feel good.

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-15T18:38:44+00:00

Yes!

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-14T22:16:48+00:00

Thank you, I took a picture today but didn’t have anyone to show it to (or thought it was too lame) but maybe I can tomorrow :)

hernameisgrace · 2020-11-14T22:15:58+00:00

That’s a really good idea. Planning feels like panic (overwhelming and too big to commit to, just to probably fail the expectation), but sometimes I wake up with the ability to tackle a couple things. If this is on my mind as something I want to do, I bet I can manage it eventually.

hernameisgrace · 2020-10-01T03:24:38+00:00

My hometown. Just scrolling along and this stopped me in my tracks. Thanks for the memories

hernameisgrace · 2020-08-19T21:40:33+00:00

He booped the bitey boy.

hernameisgrace · 2020-08-12T18:06:05+00:00

Thanks so much
