last night i got home kind of tipsy and very much in tears and my mother told me the force you exert to keep someone in your life is proportional to the force with which they will leave your life. if you have to fight tooth and claw to keep them, their leaving will be just as hard, just as harsh, and just as definite.

finished listening to ttpd and its like i could make one whole song out of the parts i liked. the first minute of i hate it here. clara bow excluding the bridge. touch me while your bros play grand theft auto is funny😭 it grew on me. umm also the prophecy also excluding the bridge kind of. nvm the prophecy is good i had a good cry to it lol. florida!!! shouldve been longer .. the manuscript is soo good and sweet in THEORYY but execution feels clunky idk.. i couldnt 100% like any of the songs . everything just blurs into blah blah blah for me.. aaron dessner what happened 😭 i feel like she really wanted to do the lana stream of consciousness and she had the ideas (self-mythologizing + imploding love life duh) but with the ten billion senseless verbose metaphors and the bland instrumentals she shot herself in the foot. why is no one saying this. pitchfork come thru 🤞🏼

i've been pacing myself thanks to living with ri for three months now and i'm. actually getting better

i'm doing the dishes voluntarily while standing up. i'm sitting up in bed instead of constantly needing to be horizontal. i constantly have the craving of going out and doing something (but the three flights of stairs i'd have to conquer are still my enemy). i feel more alive. i'm still in pain and tired as all hell but i'm also craving *going back to work* which i will attempt to do (only part time though don't worry) once i'm all registered here. things aren't and probably never will be like they used to before i got sick, but it's also much much much better than it was three months ago. there's hope again

When it comes to managing ME/CFS, which includes cases of Long Covid that meet ME/CFS criteria, there is a fine line between making yourself unwell due to lack of activity (human bodies and minds are typically healthiest when living an active lifestyle and getting fresh air and varied stimulation, which is why these things are always recommended) and making yourself unwell due to triggering PEM and worsening ME/CFS.

The issue is that most people, including most medical professionals, only recognize the first issue, the consequences of a lack of activity. What they fail to understand is that the multi-systemic damage caused by over-exertion in those with ME/CFS is a vastly bigger problem than being deconditioned.

There doesn't seem to be a benefit to going vastly below one's energy envelope (such as doing extended bed-rest when the ME/CFS is mild), so in those cases, light exercise (walking, short hikes, yoga, etc) may actually make people feel better. But that is only if that doesn't cause PEM. For people whose ME/CFS is moderate/severe, their energy envelopes are much smaller. Even just basic daily activities are enough to trigger PEM. In those cases, exercise needs to be the first thing to go. It is a huge energy drain, and as said above, people with ME/CFS not having enough energy for what they're doing leads to damage to their cells. The benefits of exercise do not outweigh the harm.

Telling people to ignore their body's signals that there is something very, very wrong is only going to make the problem worse. Based on current research, the only way to be able to do more is to do less. The body needs to be given time to recover and heal the damage. Only then can one's energy envelope have the chance to increase, potentially allowing for people to resume light exercise and other activities (such as more energy-intensive hobbies like gardening, sewing, painting, etc) that can improve their physical and emotional well-being.

(It's very important to note that being able to do light exercise does NOT mean that said exercise should be gradually increased to something more demanding unless there is also an increase in the energy envelope. ME/CFS causes a hard limit on how much energy a person has, and graded exercise therapy often quickly outpaces the energy envelope, thereby inducing PEM. Continuing to push will cause damage and leave people worse off than they started. That is why GET is harmful and should not be done.)

To anyone who notices that they feel significantly worse after physical, cognitive, or emotional exertion, either immediately or delayed 24-48 hours: you need to cut back on what you're doing. Activities of basic living, such as eating, going to the bathroom, and personal hygiene, are the priority. Do not let ignorant doctors force you into doing something that is hurting you and could vastly reduce your quality of life indefinitely.

Quote:

By taking biopsies from long COVID patients before and after exercising, scientists in the Netherlands constructed a startling picture of widespread abnormalities in muscle tissue that may explain this severe reaction to physical activity.

Among the most striking findings were clear signs that the cellular power plants, the mitochondria, are compromised and the tissue starved for energy.

"We saw this immediately and it's very profound," says Braeden Charlton, one of the study's authors at Vrije University in Amsterdam.

The tissue samples from long COVID patients also revealed severe muscle damage, a disturbed immune response, and a buildup of microclots.

"This is a very real disease," says Charlton. "We see this at basically every parameter that we measure."

yourusername Hectic weeeks. Amazing time promoting the film with my Irish bestie Paul Mescal, attending to my fans (e.g. sukiwaterhouse lol), and lauding Messi’s victory over my sore loser boyfriend. No pics because I cried so hard I looked like I had buttons for eyes. Thx to my lovely team for this assortment of godly snapshots :*

people on low dose naltrexone: we're not like those guys on high dose naltrexone for addictions. I'm tired of being confused for them

[ID: a blad cat staring in the corner with text saying"[sobbing]"]

.....I am those people

why are people on LDN so obsessed with distancing themselves from us instead of dismantling the stigma around taking naltrexone? why are you guys just abandoning us? why do you think your chronic pain is better than my addiction? why do you think you're better than me? more worthy of support than me? less worth of stigma than me?

you get to explain "oh don't worry, I'm not like them" to doctors and I dont because I am them. instead of realizing that's wrong, that treating people poorly because they have an addiction is wrong, you try to distance yourself and naltrexone from addiction entirely. you don't want to be associated with us. it hurts.
