#and immune system activation.

it means a lot to me that irving is that coworker who gets wasted 2 beers in at the office party and cries about feeling lonely

[scorpiusmalfoylovesoscarwilde]

headcanon that scorpius was a sick child and was in and out of hospital constantly, perhaps related to astoria's blood curse but not directly. his immune system isnt very strong, and everytime he gets sick they're terrified that it's the blood curse but also whatever else it could be, because it's always so sudden and so intense and they call healers over to the house who recommend this delirious feverish 4 year old is hospitalised immediately, and you'd think it'd get easier to some extent because they'd be used to it, but everytime they feel like this is it, this is the time he'll walk in to the hospital and not walk out again

[illnessfaker]

i think we need to remind people that being chronically ill unfortunately does not make you a health expert and statements like "long covid is just CFS" ignores the like 800 other long-term effects of covid that are grouped under "long covid" that distinctly aren't in line w/ PEM

I wish I had the time and energy to write about going to meet the whales with Rafa bc this one is really speaking to me 😩

"They'll definitely like you" reawakened the childhood zoobooks kid in me who always wanted to be a marine biologist and study whales.

Yes Rafayel, please take me on an undersea adventure to meet the whales and we can use the whale whistle to call them cute little guys ♡🐋🐳

I spent FOUR DAYS in an E.R bed because there were NO beds open anywhere in the hospital proper. I get discharged after a week of being dangerously dehydrated despite the constant heavy duty electrolytes being pumped into my veins round the clock and in the third worst pain of my life, only to watch on the news at home a report about the days-long wait times in hospitals and hear that the reporters have the audacity to wonder why hospitals are overcrowded again

It's covid. Stop being wilful idiots

[maranull]

my throat is killing me so i made a picrew where's the correlation? idk

me rn

picrew

wow okay even accounting for placebo effect the prednisone might be. life changing. i'll update with a list of accomplishments once i've finished a couple more small tasks but the biggest factor that makes me think Not All Placebo is that. i got sweaty and out of breath from moving around and.... did not wheeze horrifically. or struggle to breathe. or get dizzy and off balance. like at all.

i'm still moving with the stiffness/slowness of an old man and whistling slightly on hard exhales and have widespread joint ouches but it has been. weeks and. maybe Months ?? since i've been able to breathe on my feet. like it culminated in this last week of migraine hell with not being able to move but it has been like. Building Up. and is now...... barely an issue. hello.

Had so much vit c over the last 2 days I could probably rewatch the terror and retroactively cure all those guys' scurvy just by looking at it

[shyspider]

My mom gave me covid for Christmas

[millerflintstone]

Still negative. Still exhausted.

Love when someone rbs 2022 mk art on my dash and I go to the artists profile and they aren't as active so I can go through their mk tag and find all the good stuff from 2022 that Tumblr search buries

[bbcphile]

Thanks, immune system, but I really didn't need the reminder of how much I dislike anaphylaxis.

Can I stop being allergic to my narcolepsy meds now?

i am okay with no longer associating with people who think the way to combat fear mongering about gender affirming care is by accusing anyone who says they had complications or a poor experience with a gender affirming doctor of lying and being transphobic.
