the only pain relief I'm allowed is panadol and I'm only allowed 4 tablets a day.

so the medication (two of them) that I'd been on for over a decade that kept my fibro in check is completely out of my system. I am rawdogging fibro, on top of recovering from nearly dying.

it's tough.

wait did I even tell bsky about that? yeah they stopped like, almost all medication I was on because my liver got all fucked from the antibiotics - "deranged liver syndrome" is the funniest thing I've been diagnosed with so I'm not even that mad - but it means I'm off all meds until my liver's ok

had a little cry and now we're getting pizza for dinner.

I'm okay, I'm just - struggling. Recovery is hard at the best of times, but the fact I'm completely unmedicated for my fibro right now is making everything ten times worse than it needs to be.

Not quite - this was a team effort, but I can do little stuff like do some chopping or mix a salad, but mostly my brain is doing well enough that I can boss Lee around to do and get things haha

Funny joke for people who've never been in that situation maybe.

I haven't sleepwalked but as someone with a lot of experience, especially these past couple months, with "things happening to, by and with my body that I'm not aware of until someone tells me later", I have a LOT of empathy.

She also said she's going to make sure I get extra varied pain relief because of my CFS and fibro "and so you process pain differently" and I could have cried

Today's big challenge: Lee is back at the office today so I have to look after myself all day.

I should be fine, I already did a few hours of alone time last week when he went to roleplaying, tho we had things set up easy for me then. Still. I can do this πŸ’ͺ🏻

* walked a couple of steps without any mobility aid!

sawasawako on tumblr: "idc anymore i think we should be a burden to each other"

"and yes this includes a certain degree of tolerance for emotional burden, all else being equal. my love for you, and loyalty to you, is not dependent on how easy you make it for me to love you. i don't value you for how little trouble you cause me. i want to learn how to take you for who you are, instead of who i want you to be or who i think you should be"

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

15% funded in about four hours 😍

Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing more about the anthology, but trust me when I say we have some really really cool things inside and you should absolutely help us reach our funding goals!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

also, "switch" and "vers" don't mean the same thing either

Under-Negotiated Kink by ani mosity A collection of short stories.

Would you like some short smutty queer romance stories?

queenofzan.itch.io/under-negoti... is almost entirely illustrated! Seven explicit romances + one fade-to-black romance which is still kind of a sex comedy.
