#post covid symptoms

[fruitdragon]

Hey hey isn't it fun when you're only technically diagnosed with GCK-MODY and Chronic Migraine and it appears that all your pain leads back to that but neither of the disorders are studied enough for you to be sure!

Like migraine might be why I get sudden weakness and can't get out of bed, why my joints hurt, and why everything is so hard to move but it also might be GCK where recent studies show the mitochondria isn't stimulated properly and high insulin might eat away at my tissues!

But it all might also be being exacerbated by Long COVID!

Also doctors don't know and won't refer to the one dude in your area that knows shit

Isn't this fun (I'm crying)

Being in the wolf359 fandom is interesting, because I’ll see posts that are like “you better not use AI in your writing!” and my initial reaction is “but I love writing about Hera! 🥺” and then I remember that’s not what they’re talking about (to be clear: I am against that AI).

If you haven't had covid or haven't had it more than once, please reblog for sample size!

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).

my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

I have a BuckTommy mostly Tommy headcanon:

What if Tommy is afraid of spiders? And what if Buck is the one that kills them?

I don’t know enough canon to know if that could be canon, but I’m being silly right now.

Anyway, imagine Tommy screaming when he sees a tiny spider, and Buck scoops it up and tosses it out the balcony.

Tommy then pays for Orkin to come by and spray Buck’s apartment on a regular schedule until they end up moving in together.

Fun fact!

To add to all my other problems (i.e. disabilities) I am now experiencing post-covid hearing loss! Which I didn't know was a thing!

So I now need to see the family doctor and a specialist! And am concerned about insurance, because it barely covers my needed appointments!

10 "extra appointments" a year and that includes chiro, an osteopath, acupuncture, and physical therapy! So I'm rationing them for when it gets really bad!

I also need to get my eyes checked again and hoping to whatever gods there are that they haven't got worse (I've already got a warning about tearing my retinas!)

God I wonder if the specialist is even covered

It's so expensive to be disabled and I wish that there was a system in place that didn't hate me. I also wish my body wasn't falling apart but that was gonna happen anyways so 🤷

Guess who has fucking COVID after having to get a blood test a couple weeks ago at a hospital where absolutely no one was wearing masks.

I mean, my wife and I were, but we were the only ones the entire time we were there, and that’s the only time I’ve been around PEOPLE in the last month. Very cool and normal way to handle a plague, I feel like hot garbage and am just not allowing myself to think about whether this is going to exacerbate my preexisting fatigue and POTS and brainfog. I just cannot.

im p positiv covid made me develop arthritis

[helloamhere]

Grappling with the fact that exhaustion-from-survival is not, it turns out, something you can RUSH

Grappling with the fact that I really was more ill than I've ever been in my life before and perhaps I still am

Grappling with the shame. Trying to replace my shame with different takeout shame and getting told WE HAVE SHAME AT HOME but mom I don't even LIKE shame

Grappling with the fact that I've come out of hospitals both hating and loving people a whole lot more? I can't predict which people? I saw one of your usernames and cried about it (I remember every time you were kind!). I have a doctor come into the room specifically to do something for me and I hate him so much I feel like a dog that's about to bite somebody's hand off and even the dog people will be like ok, maybe not that dog

Grappling with missing writing not like a poignant sadness but like a hole in my head

Grappling with the fact that I am still me

i try to downplay it but being covid cautious in 2024 on its own will drive you to the brink. i need 2 get more serious about pushing for people around me to. Get it together

i know this probably won’t do much, let alone anything at all, but i’m sorry for the stress this site has caused you and so many other creators here. i’m not asking for you to stick around on here, but i hope you know just how meaningful you and your art have been on here. you’re amazing. /pos

Hey, this ask has done a lot more than you would think. Thank you, you are very sweet. <3

I've kind of made up my mind about what I'm gonna do for a while now, but I've simply been... too busy and overwhelmed to take the time to let you guys know. I'm not going to delete my tumblr, there's just. Too much here that I don't want to lose.

So far the game plan is: keep my tumblr. But do not upload anymore art or writing on it - not because it's gonna get scraped, because it was already getting scraped anyway, AI company deal or not. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, unfortunately. I simply do not trust Tumblr with my data, if they're going to sell EVERYTHING, including private messages and such, so I'm not going to give it anything worthwhile to profit off of. Instead, I'm going to start uploading my art exclusively on Ao3, for now. I'll answer any asks I receive here on there too, as well. I'll figure some kind of system out. 🤔

The cool thing about uploading to Ao3 is that anyone subscribed to my profile or to the containment series I will make will get a notification anytime I upload something new. Having my art and writing in one place is likely going to be more convenient for you guys too, since you won't have to move across platforms to get the full experience. 😄It'll be different... but a platform getting too greedy for its own good won't stop me from finding ways to share my stories with y'all. I'll just find another solution.

(I've also been entertaining the idea of joining or making my own Discord server but. That one is a little more delicate. The idea of joining a server that has hundreds of members like a lot of this fandom's servers have, just. Makes me break into hives, lmao. (I am in the Ghost in the Machine fic server. I muted it an hour into joining, it was way too intense for me. |'D) That is way too many people, I simply cannot handle it. I'd be way more comfortable in a smaller group with a less rapid-fire rate of posting and conversation. I am also. Very picky about which servers I join, which makes asking for recommendations doubly awkward when I shoot them all down, haha... And making my own... Err, I can hardly keep up with a server I helped create for another fandom and mod for, I don't think I could handle two of them - I would need other people to handle the moderation for me, and I wouldn't trust just anyone to be a mod. I'd need to know them well enough to know I could trust them, and I... do not really know anyone in this fandom well enough to do that, sadly. I take server moderation very seriously, as someone who has had experience modding for forums back before social media was a thing. I do not know if that would make for a fun experience for everyone, and anyone who hasn't known that kind of supervised experience. It is comforting to me. It may be intimidating for others. So that's still a very hand-wavy, 'eehhhh' kind of thing still.)

All of this to say, that this isn't the last you'll see from me, far from it. I'll restrict my creative output to Ao3 for the foreseeable future, and I'll let you guys on here know when I make a new upload, so those of you who do not have an Ao3 account know when something new has happened.

So there you have it. 😊
