Dianna Cowern @thephysicsgirl #MECFS is unimaginably isolating, especially for severe patients like Dianna. The disease just doesn't make sense; even for me, it's taken a year of caring for her every day to start to understand. To get a sense, Dianna has spent the last year and a half in her room, unable to watch tv or read a book or spend time with friends. She cannot walk or take care of herself. She can brush her teeth and feed herself, but not much more than that. We can cuddle and hold hands, but sometimes that's too much for her. It's so removed from normal life, and so much worse than you could ever imagine. It's hard to share these things, because I fear people will blame me or blame her for not treating her properly, for not taking this medication or that supplement, or following such and such a protocol. Or worse yet, suggesting that all she needs is to get up and go for a walk. Even on this post, people will say those things. But there's no consistent treatment or even diagnostics at this point. So, we are left alone, in pain, wondering if what we're doing is right or wrong, if there's something else we should have done a year ago that would have avoided all this. We try not to think like that, but it creeps in from time to time. If you are a physician, please consider getting involved in treating and researching #longcovid and #MECFS While Dianna is still very sick, her doctors and treatments ease her burden and give us hope. Written by Kyle, Dianna's husband.

If you don’t write to your elected representatives, they just assume that you’re going to vote for them no matter what they do or at least that you don’t care about what they’re doing enough to be motivated to vote against them... Write your reps. Do it now. tinyurl.com/writingreps

Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreyatucker Do people know how insulting it is to put on a mask when you come near? It's like saying: I suspect that you are diseased and I don't want your filth near my body. Never mind that it doesn't work. It's ruinous to friendship. 5:09 PM · Jan 13, 2024 · 81.7K Views 386 replies 184 retweets 712 hearts 10 bookmarks

Quote Tweet with Elmo hands outstretched in front of the flames, quoted tweet from Chloe says “The Economy” as a false god is one that I refuse to worship. The economic system is supposed to serve humans, not for us to serve other humans to it. We supposedly gave up human sacrifice as a ritual a long time ago, right?

The image is from the NY Project Hope web site and written in marker are the words Project Hopium! with a facepalm emoji. Text on image reads NY Project Hope Coping with COVID 5. Look at uncertainty from a different perspective… It’s been said that uncertainty can be an “emotional amplifier,” meaning that uncertainty amplifies the emotions of whatever you’re thinking about. For example, it can be unpleasant to be uncertain about whether you’re going catch COVID-19, but it’s pleasant to be uncertain about how the new food you’re trying will taste. Looking at uncertainty in the lense of unexpected joy can take away some of the fear. Leaning into uncertainty as you do when you’re going to a new place, reading a new book, eating new food, learning a new language, and traveling abroad can help you to be more open to uncertainty, and more creative. We don’t know how these experiences will turn out, but we are still willing to engage in them.
