statstically speaking if you get me/cfs from long covid your doctor is not going to help, and yr actual medical advice will come from ppl like me who've spent the last 5 years reading medical papers.

you do not want someone who can no longer type the word "statidtically" to be your replacement doc.

one of the biggest names in trans healthcare discrimination is also one of the biggest names in ME/CFS healthcare discrimination (Simon Wessely) & as a trans person with ME/CFS i'm begging all of us to make this intercommunity connection

right now i'm thinking it might be worth trying a beta blocker that is both b1 selective (cardioselective) and vasodilating (metoprolol is not)?

The media's really just going to bounce over the fact that at Trump's meeting today they said "we've been fighting antifa for a hundred years, since they tried to stop us in 1930s Germany" and everyone nodded along, huh

he won't prescribe me pyridostigmine. he won't prescribe me ivabradine (although i wouldn't be able to afford it regardless). i'm still having massive low blood pressure problems from the metoprolol that i'm pretty sure are interfering with my sleep although my HR is controlled

the paper mario font and emoji stickers are there to soften the blow from talking about *literally wanting to saw my bones in half* so i could be seen as who i am.

someone (not trans fem) came in my comments when i originally posted this and told me it was symphysiotomy and also thought this was a joke

1. this isn't symphysiotomy; i don't want people getting symphysiotomies
2. trans womanhood isn't a fucking joke
