Thank you ā¤ļø autism + physical disabilities + caring for my disabled dog whilst avoiding the fuck out of covid. Fun times.

They're our giant dog's toys - the purple one is a throwing rope ball thing, blue one is a boomer ball (her favourite)

A little tit collecting some of Luna's - I leave tons out but if Luna notices she drags it all back inside š

I once agreed with Piers Morgan. Took me years to recover from the shock

Did you know that you can hate the murder of Israeli children AND the murder of Palestinian children. It's really not an either or situation.
Likewise, the murder of some Isreali children does not excuse the murder of all (or any) Palestinian children.

I'm lactose intolerant, but completely excluding dairy made my intolerance to accidental exposure far worse - it's hidden in so many things
I had to gradually reintroduce it and can now tolerate 4 cups of tea with milk a day š
Also, lactase pills are miraculous

It took about 8 years for my post EBV issues to get to their worst and I've spent almost 30 years trying to recover from that one infection. I hope I never have to find out what recovering from covid feels like š·

I still occasionally ask my partner of 18 years if some task or other causes them any pain. The answer is always no, but I still struggle to believe it
Although he's never once needed a sick day, had a headache, or a hospital stay, so maybe he's not the best benchmark (definite alien vibes)

It's absolutely disgraceful that anyone who wants one can't access the vaccine under the NHS - we're all at risk from covid but those of us who are even more vulnerable should never be turned away!

We loved our wood burner but took it out when we renovated and haven't put it back because our rescue dog chose the empty fireplace as her safe space. We can live without it

As a left-handed queer autistic, I can confirm this.

Our rescue is exactly the same - there's so many off lead dogs in our village we're only able to walk her very late at night now so we can avoid the majority of them š
We've spent 4 years training & counter conditioning her, but it can potentially all be undone if one off lead dog jumps on her

Hello Charley

I have post-EBV fibromyalgia/CFS (lots of similarities to long covid), and it's lasted 28 years so far, although the last 10 years have seen my symptoms slowly improving
Since I've been masking, my health has improved dramatically - now I'm not constantly fighting off other viruses as well

If it is menopause/perimenopause, ask about body identical hormones. They're non-synthetic and have fewer side effects for most people (eg oestrogel + utrogestan).

That's true and I wish it wasn't

It also protects anyone nearby from catching covid from you unless the mask has an unfiltered exhalation valve, in which case it only protects the wearer
comment in response to
post
Im really glad you're pro mask but that's not correct either - N95s were designed for construction to filter out microparticles using electrostacically charged fibres - it traps 95% of viruses, dust etc. hence the name, and is highly effective at protecting the wearer from catching covid.
comment in response to
post
That's thankfully not true. A well fitting N95 will hugely reduce your chances of catching any airborne virus, including covid.

A Robin and a blackbird used to hop into our kitchen each morning to request breakfast - until our giant rescue dog arrived, now they don't visit us anymore š

So true & so unrecognised
For 30yrs I've been accidentally colllecting chronic pain conditions, inc occipital neuralgia which is brutal, & thought I was well adapted to coping with pain.
Until I developed trigeminal neuralgia for the worst few weeks of my life. Severe pain is literally torture.

#stillcoviding here!
The more covid studies I read, the more determined I am to avoid ever catching it
comment in response to

5 years with no viruses has done wonders for my previously poor health & multiple disabling conditions. (I've been wfh since 2018, which also helps).
This is the best I've felt for almost 30 years, and I'd like to keep it that way. Avoiding covid is the best decision I've ever made.

This, all of this ā¬ļø

Is it not mostly because with each covid infection, people's chances of developing long covid increases? Millions of Brits have long covid, and the numbers keep rising.
Every C19 infection raises your chances of becoming disabled, but most people make no effort to prevent catching it.

I'm very lucky to have been able to work remotely since 2018, and my health has increased enormously from not having the physical demands of a commute/office job + I no longer catch every bug doing the rounds
If I lose this job, though, there's very little chance of me getting another one

Same here, but fibro/cfs from EBV + hypermobility
comment in response to
post
It's good to see this but frustrating that even those most affected by Covid discuss it as a past-event.
Covid is still circulating & every infection risks Long Covid.
How can anyone claim to support those with Long Covid if they keep pretending the risk of joining their ranks no longer exists?

I hate to be an internet nag, but it's shocking to see a dog wearing an aversive tool like a "gentle" leader, especially when the owner appears to be a kind and sensible person.
They work the same way as a prong or electric collar - by causing pain & discomfort. Please consider training instead.

I also use low dose Amitriptaline - has helped me enormously but took a while to get over the morning hangovers

Another reason why respirator masks should be standard in medical facilities instead of only being worn after the infection is identified (if even then)

I've been working from home since 2018, it's been life changing for me now I don't get sick, overwhelmed & exhausted being in an office.
I used to have one of the highest levels of sick leave in my company, now I rarely need any sick days
I'm far more productive, happier, and healthier for it.
