    New here!

    Hi! I’m new here. I downloaded the app about a year ago, but never used it. I am not a big fan of anything social media related or adjacent. Lol. But…I decided this would be good. I’m still trying to figure it out and how to use it. Haha. I’m sure I’ll get there…eventually.

    I'm new here!

    Hi, my name is SpoonieSensei. I'm here because bringing awareness to the illnesses with which I fight and many others is crucial to me; awareness necessarily informs, and the the more patients, doctors, and others are informed the more research will be sought out and funded. I fight for every chronic illness warrior out there as well as for my many friends and acquaintances who have been taken by illness and a lack of awareness and information. I don’t want anyone suffering even like I have had to suffer and that motivates me every day!

    I’m new here!

    Hi, my username is corgiville, chosen for one of favorite books by Tasha Tudor. I'm here because I developed mast cell activation syndrome around 2013, which has almost completely paralyzed my intestines and has now started attacking my muscles, leaving me mostly homebound. I just discovered this site and I already feel much less alone than I have for the past 10 years.

    Always abandoned

    Just need somewhere safe to vent.
    I’m feeling abandoned by friends. I’m suffering through day 13 of severe covid right now and it just seems to annoy everyone. I have #PrimaryImmunodeficiency along with a few other health issues, so I tried extremely hard to avoid the virus for three years. It finally caught me. I knew I would get very sick, that’s not the surprising part.I’m just let down but the support from certain friends. People I thought would be more concerned or maybe even worried. I’m grateful for those who are, don’t get me wrong. Just still hurts. This is truly just a highlight upon what’s already been an existing fault line in friendships where I’m ignored. I’m the lesser friend because I’m “always ill” or can’t keep up. I can’t go biking or canoeing so I’m just not invited. During the pandemic spike I couldn’t leave my home so I was just left out… occasionally sent a photo of friends together tagged #wishyouhere .
    They don’t understand how much it hurts to grieve a life you cannot live. Friends who just leave you behind like garbage. But then again, even the garbage gets to go out once a week.
