I have a Teams appointment booked at the end of the month with my nearest M.E. clinic. Not sure how it will help me, but I’m willing to give most things a go. I have Visible band & app which helps me track energy use & pacing, which I guess not everyone has. It would be nice to have a light at the end of the tunnel…

Puh, ey... Anruf in einer Praxis (wegen anstehender OP), der mir seit Wochen schwerst auf der Seele lag. (#iykyk) Und dann ruf ich da an und alles ist ganz schnell geregelt und ich muss nicht mal persönlich da antanzen.

Heulen vor Erleichterung. Kennt ihr, ne?

Warum ich immer wieder über Fibromyalgie schreibe 🪷

Vor mittlerweile ein paar Jahren, als ich das Fediverse - mit ein bisschen Unterstützung - für mich entdeckt habe, hatte ich gerade meine erste Verdachtsdiagnose Fibromyalgie bekommen und wartete auf einen Platz in einer Fachklinik.
Ich hoffte, hier im Fedi Informationen zur Krankheit zu finden und mich austauschen zu können. Pustekuchen, in dieser Hinsicht war das eine Enttäuschung. 🤕

Trotzdem fand ich es ziemlich spannend hier und blieb aus Überzeugung. Ich habe selbst immer wieder ein bisschen was zu Fibro geschrieben und mit der Zeit gab es tatsächlich auch mehr Beiträge dazu und mehr (bzw. überhaupt eine) Resonanz.

Ich erinnere mich also an meine Anfangszeit und denke, wenn ein Thema für mich fehlt, dann bringe ich es eben selbst ins Fediverse. 🙂

Wenn man heute nach dem Thema Fibromyalgie sucht, findet man einige Beiträge. Mir hätte das damals viel gebracht. Wenn es also nur einer Person etwas helfen kann, dann mache ich mir gern die Arbeit. Auch wenn ich meist „Into the Void“ schreibe.

Außerdem will ich die Krankheit, an der doch etwa 2 % der Bevölkerung in Deutschland erkrankt sind, sichtbarer machen. 🌱

@careclinic I'm very glad to share the sacred knowledge! May you never need it from a draw 😭

Thank you, by the way, for exposing me to the term -- I hadn't run into it before! Adding it to my watch list.

Afternoon from me, waving. The morning routine is starting to become a bit of tidying up of a small space around breakfast time. That would be nice to continue. So far I've tidied my side of the bed over 3 days. This is realistic #spoonie time framing.

Been out for supplies for cross stitching. Walked and browsed a couple of shops. This was my biannual reminder of why I cannot walk and browse shops. Because its utterly drained me of energy. Good to know.

Oh and today I got major news...

+++ Off-Topic: ME/CFS +++

Im Krankenhaus habe ich die Dokumentarfilmerin und Regisseurin Sibylle Dahrendorf kennengelernt, die seit Jahren mit ME/CFS lebt. Ihre Ausdauer und innere Stärke haben mich tief beeindruckt.

Die Dokumentation „Chronisch krank, chronisch ignoriert“ (ARTE, 2025) thematisiert eindringlich die Multisystemerkrankung ME/CFS, ihre Komorbiditäten und die strukturellen Versorgungslücken.

Bitte um Beteiligung, damit die wichtige Doku verfügbar bleibt:

Someone commented on my TikTok “skit” I posted today, just the words “Cerebral Palsy”, with no other context. I am so full of questions, do they have cerebral palsy and just relate to what I was saying? Do they think I have cerebral palsy? Do they want me to talk about cerebral palsy? I am only assuming good intent behind it, but I have no idea. I’ve never been properly diagnosed for my chronic pain conditions, and haven’t really looked into Cerebral Palsy as much as I have looked into POTS and Ehlers Danlos because the latter two describe so much of my experiences.. is it common for cerebral palsy to go unnoticed by doctors well into adulthood?

Honestly, I’ll even put the video here to give an idea of the symptoms I experience.

Six months later and I can finally take the last steps to finish this very special project. Means: More pearls, more glitter, more thoughts and more spells sewed - stitch by stitch - into this piece of textile art.

Sechs Monate später - und ich kann endlich die letzten Handgriffe angehen, um dieses Herzensprojekt zu beenden. Meint: Mehr Perlen, mehr Glitzer, mehr Gedanken und mehr Bannsprüche, die ich mit jedem Stich in diesem Stück Textilkunst vernähe.

Apropos: Ihr wollt was gegen den wieder erwachsenden Faschismus tun? Dann unterschreibt doch bitte noch diese Petition gegen ein Register von trans und nonbinary Personen. Danke.

Embroidery hoop with white fabric in it. Embroidered are the words "Protect Trans Kids" in black embroidery floss. Alongside is a Kanzashi flower, the petals are in the trans colours (pink, blue, white). The flower is bedazzled with pearls and glass beads, strings of rocailles are also growing out of it's center. All of them in shades of the colour scheme of the petals. Bigger blue eye pearls (arabic Nazar eyes against evil things) are sewns onto the fabric, part of them surrounded by small facetted, pink and blue glass beads. Around the hoops are plastic sachets with the pearls and one big string with the Nazar pearls.

"Reimagining You: Finding identity, meaning, and purpose when life doesn’t look the way it used to"

Reimagining You

Finding identity, meaning, and purpose when life doesn’t look the way it used to.

“Loss of function.” It’s a phrase that feels clinical and detached, but anyone living with chronic illness, post-viral fatigue, cognitive changes, or sudden physical limitations knows that phrase barely scratches the surface. It doesn’t convey the ripple of loss that stretches far beyond the body and reaches deep into the parts of yourself that used to feel familiar and essential.

When you can’t cook your favorite meals, drive yourself to work, shower independently, hold your child, or focus on a task, it isn’t just about energy.

Administrative

Applicant granted disability benefits for her fibromyalgia
Where an administrative law judge found a Social Security disability applicant’s subjective testimony about her fibromyalgia symptoms to be unsupported by medical and other evidence, it erred. Administrative law judges may not rely on objective medical evidence – even as just one of multiple factors – to discount a claimant’s subjective complaints regarding symptoms of fibromyalgia.
