spiegelmama<p>I almost missed the whole day because every time I tried to get out of bed, I hit full-on vertigo. It's been months since that has happened, and it freaked me out. I texted my husband to come in from the backhouse, and when he eventually saw my text, he came in, flopped down, and took a nap for three hours. When I was finally able to wake him up, though, he was really helpful. He stood in front of me to catch me if necessary, he encouraged me to try again and wait through it when I again got vertigo, and he watched over me until he could tell I was OK. This was at 7 p.m. I don't think I'm doing anything today. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/vertigo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vertigo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IIH</span></a></p>

Lanie Carmelo<p>Brain <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/MRI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MRI</span></a> and <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/MRV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MRV</span></a> today at 4:45 PM. It's almost 3 now so I'm getting ready. I feel like complete crap today so just moving is hard. Had a rough night last night. Lots of pain, couldn't get comfortable, just didn't feel good, didn't sleep at all. That's why I was on here posting several times. I managed to get a few hours of sleep earlier, but I still don't feel good. Hoping we can either take my manual wheelchair or this place isn't far to walk, because I don't think I can walk far or fast today. Don't really want to go, but don't want to reschedule because double MRI and MRV appointments like this that take an hour are hard to get, so who knows when my next one will be, I want to know why my headaches are so bad, and I have a neurosurgery appointment in a few days, which is pretty much useless without these scans.<br><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/chronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/NEISVoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NEISVoid</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/IIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IIH</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/chronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicPain</span></a></p>
Lanie Carmelo<p>Feeling very <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/overstimulated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>overstimulated</span></a> right now. My mom and stepdad are both working this week, which means I'm at home with our animals by myself during the day. Our six <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dogs</span></a> keep barking at every noise they hear, giving me major <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/SensoryOverload" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SensoryOverload</span></a>. I love my little guy, Squeaker, but he has the worst bark out of all of them, high-pitched, ear-piercing, and squeaky. Three other dogs have big, loud barks, one has a smaller bark but is deaf so a lot of times doesn't stop when the others do, and another is going senile and tends to randomly start barking for no reason that we can see. I could shut my bedroom door, but then I might not hear if someone needs to go potty. It's not just sensory overload. The constant barking makes my <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/headaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>headaches</span></a> worse, too. We have a dog door but can't keep it open because of other animals we have to keep locked out of the house. Other than that, today is going well, but sensory overload is not fun. Sorry, just need to vent.<br><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/actuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/dogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dogsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/chronicHeadaches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicHeadaches</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ChronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicPain</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/NEISVoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NEISVoid</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/IIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IIH</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/RareDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RareDisease</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/RareDiseases" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RareDiseases</span></a></p>

DoozyDoesStuff<p>Intro. Hi all. Spoonie with sizable herd of zebras. I'm hoping for this to be a place to get important info on COVID and other crises, connect with other disabled people, and grow my advocacy skills. My current focus is to make actionable changes toward the therapy field being less ableist and creating more chronic illness competent therapists.
