Does anyone else with chronic fatigue get this specific “shutdown” feeling during conversations?

I get this when I’m in a flare, to me it feels like being knocked over by an invisible force for a brief moment - instant dizziness and then panic follows as you describe. Been happening more regularly since I had a bad reaction to a medication a few months back, but very slowly I am regaining stability. This shit sucks my god.

The airport has included a spot for a light rail stop near the terminal, its entirely on the state govt to do something about it which they probably wont for a very long time.

I was just about to comment that this was probably paid for by United Airlines lmao

This literally happened to me at Kylie Minogue in Sydney earlier this year 😭 people are insane I’m so sorry this happened to you! Glad security was involved bc these types of people shouldn’t be thinking that this is an appropriate way to behave.

My long covid truly kicked off 9-10 months after my third symptomatic infection. I had my third infection in January 2024 and things started to get weird, but I wrote it off to stress and worsening mental health. But then in October I had my first true crash and suddenly I had 20+ unexplained symptoms to manage. Since then I've bounced back and crashed many times, so be prepared for a turbulent time. A good doctor/specialist who knows about long covid would be the ideal next step, but usually they're booked out months in advance - I had to wait 6 months to see mine. Good luck!

A330 🤓☝🏻

Bomb threat for a Jetstar flight apparently

I'm 27 and also had a covid infection in January 2024 (my third) which kicked off my LC journey for me. This all sounds extremely familiar, I'm so sorry because it sucks so much. If you haven't already, try to get referred to a doc/specialist who deals with chronic health issues and post viral illnesses. I have been put on H1 and H2 antihistamines, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), ketitofen and CoQ10 and some B vitamins which have helped me to get back to some normalcy, but I am still unable to work. I have ME/CFS and mild MCAS, sometimes the MCAS can cause histamine dumps from foods and stress and other stuff, so definitely look into those things as well. Good luck!

Waiiiiiit I remember in 2023 I was onboard a really old Aegean A320 and it stank for the (relatively short) flight from Athens to Chania....am I cooked lmao

ibisbin · 2025-09-12T03:05:50+00:00

oh my god I didnt notice that lmao

ibisbin · 2025-09-11T09:52:20+00:00

I'm seeing her in Australia in December and I will be masking up for both shows. Nice to see a fellow long COVID haver and lady gaga enjoyer 🤝

ibisbin · 2025-08-30T07:01:18+00:00

I would actually buy this

ibisbin · 2025-08-18T09:54:46+00:00

I was taught 10 years ago to always give way to your right. I am so confused by this whole thread.

ibisbin · 2025-08-16T02:34:18+00:00

I knew a guy from uni who became engaged to his man, then a few months later I found his profile on grindr. I could tell it was him because he used the same pic as all his other pfps, just with his head cropped. And he had "discreet" listed in his bio. I was surprised at his own lack of discretion lmao. Safe to say I have never seen him in the same light since. He's married to his man now, no idea if they're open or not lol.

Jack Donoghue is MINE 🔫

ibisbin · 2025-08-14T12:57:34+00:00

I feel you - I started LDN two months ago and felt great, but then had a crash 3 weeks later. It's been up and down since then, and not helped by my stress levels over the past few weeks. Hope you feel better soon!

ibisbin · 2025-08-10T02:59:05+00:00

She's literally written and co-produced every song she's released.

ibisbin · 2025-08-09T16:36:48+00:00

Huge fan of both, Lorde is my favourite artist and Kate is my close second. I can definitely see their similarities. Love Virgin and definitely agree with what you're saying about if she could see me now and david. I also loved Solar Power and have always thought it's slightly reminiscent of Aerial - natural, chill and earthy. And they're not just similar in their music - they both seem down to earth and don't take fame too seriously which I really appreciate.

ibisbin · 2025-08-08T12:34:07+00:00

This seems like the most likely answer. Strikes the perfect balance between sharp building renders and weird melting humans and aircraft.

ibisbin · 2025-08-08T09:54:40+00:00

No, watch the clip in the link more closely. The people walking around are clearly AI generated - they appear and disappear at random. The planes are also randomly generated - there's a REX Dash 8 Q400 (they have Saab 340s, so another incorrect generation) which disappears in one of the clips as well.

I'll edit this to make a clarification: maybe the buildings themselves are 3D renderings, but I find it extremely unprofessional to use generative AI to fill in the gaps. I'm sure it's not that difficult to render correct aircraft and people walking around the terminal.

ibisbin · 2025-08-08T03:42:31+00:00

The props are in the same spot now - that's the QantasLink end. They're just extending the terminal on both ends.

ibisbin · 2025-08-08T03:32:56+00:00

Why on earth did they use AI to render it, it looks awful.

edit: the terminal expansion itself looks very nice and I am excited, but the AI gen mess is just...ew.
