I got this commode toilet chair gifted. My parents have been denying one to me for years. But it’s too late now. I can barely stand up for it and I have severe PEM after it. I barely exist.I know I need diapers but they won’t agree or help me with that. Fucked up. #severeme #pwme

I used to have curtains, blinds, everything fully open and sleep with my face towards the window so that the sun hits me in the morning. Last 4 years the sun hurts me so much due to severe - very severe me. Can’t believe this is still me. #mecfs #pwme #severeme #longcovid

There have been so many times that I’ve felt a bit of a fraud when shooting #Pwme. Although I’ve been diagnosed twice, 30 years apart, my #mecfs is so mild it feels like a different disease. Not today. Hitting v hard. Thinking of P/w #severeme

I need CARE. It’s crazy how when you’re so severe you’re just dependent on others and healthy people don’t seem to understand that. I can’t do anything alone. I can’t barely speak. I’m in constant severe crashing because of the constant stimulation here. #severeme #mecfs #pwme

Initially, I could manage leaning over the bath to have it washed. Then even that required more stamina than I had. So this is my new set up. It’s very much a working prototype, but being able to lie back & have my weight fully supported is bliss. /2 #HairWash #pwME #pwLC

#pwME It's NOT living in bed. It's living as a medical patient. Ointments, powders, pills, inhalers, nebulizer - organizing it all, maintaining it - is a job in itself. BP cuffs, Sp02, bed pads, diapers, etc. I'm really looking forward to my permanent catheter. #MELife

This is something advocates say to each other privately all the time, but it somehow means far more from people outside our bubble. 'You lost 50% of your functionality when you got M.E? You're a powerhouse NOW. I can only imagine what you could achieve if you weren't a #pwME' 1/


A recommendation for #pwME able to watch tv. I watched #VictoriaBeckham yesterday. netflix.com/gb/title/81749… It had many overlaps with my own life- - Incessant bullying - Reinvention/change in identity in response to life events - Constantly trying to prove myself (to me) 👏🙌

Starting to wonder if this explains why M.E. always felt like a cover-up. Just asking questions. #pwME #mecfs

Covid, Anthrax, Lyme, and why the Pentagon and CIA would go and do a darn thing like confessing to a plan to deploy “biological agents which would appear to be of natural origin” in the JFK Files
