#NEISvoid

It's really aggravating how just writing a blog post - even a completely non-stressful one! - raises my heart rate.

I've hardly done anything and now I need to go lie down and destimulate.

A heart rate graph showing a sudden red peak starting about half an hour ago.

the biologic I'm on now seems to be helping. that said, I'm entering into a flare. it's an improved experience bc the 24/7 fatigue/pain is a lot better. but the flares still happen. (but they're more noticeable bc of less omnipresent pain.) #NEISVoid

Classic cartoon showing how even the everyday activities (eat, get dressed, shower) can be "out of reach" for ME/CFS patients. Thanks for sharing this one again!

Ok, this one is giving me big feelings, so I guess bear that in mind fellow POTSies? The whole "40 years of symptoms massively improved by a couple of half hour procedures" thing. But it's worth a listen.

Between toxic mould, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and my chronic illnesses flaring (not to mention the day to day poverty, ableism and queerphobia I live with) this winter is a struggle.

Fellow #EDS havers: Do you have wheelchair recommendations? I need something comfortable but affordable, and which isn't too difficult to wheel in (eg I dont have to use too much arm strength). #ChronicIllness #NEISvoid

Jalan just gave me a shower.

I'm totally drained.

It is So Tedious being forever sick. #NEISvoid

What happened to #neisvoid? Where is the person who started it? I forgot her name but she left twitter when the new owner came along.

I feel that escape to a better place soon might be possible. BUT if it doesn’t happen I’ll be crushed beyond anything I can imagine.

What’s that quote? Paraphrase: It’s not the despair. I can handle the despair. It’s the hope that kills you.

Except I’m gonna die if I don’t escape so yeah.

No really, my doctor said so. I’ll die if I stay here. I’m already far sicker than I was a year ago because I keep getting exposed to Covid. And that’s the 1% of problems if you’ve been following. My profile is full unhappy and abuse stories if you haven’t been following & want a deleting read. I’ve even had my story published.

woke up with a terrible head cold. I’m in the phase of being under the weather where I am only able to imagine worst case scenarios. it’s also second last day of prednisone on a decreasing dose so “normal“ body aches are probably returning. #NEISVoid

#NEISvoid #POTS
Has anyone tried nasal desmopressin for POTS? My mum wants me to ask my GP if I could try it, curious to hear how it's gone for anyone else.
Edit: I think the Australian spray is called Minirin
