It’s that time of year where my migraines are sinus related, sooo I get a whole lovely package of thorough head pain. Eyes, teeth, jaw, sinus, temples. I love absolutely fall but #OctoberSlide kicks my ass

As someone who’s somewhat recently realized they’re chronically ill and is actively seeking out a dysautonamia/POTS diagnosis. October slide is real, can fucking confirm. I’m so tired.

This double toasted bagel is doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting today. #incarbswetrust #carbs #bagel #glasscaseofemotions #lifehack #octoberslide

Got myself new ultrasound guided steroid injections for both sides of my hips today.

Always a weird sensation. Hopefully relief in a couple days/weeks.

#pwME & #pwLC is there anything in the literature documenting the #octoberslide in #MECFS ?

Fall in Indiana: *arrives*

Me: why have I hardly been able to walk for going on two months

Still sick but at least I can safely eat food again. 👍

To put my poor health into perspective. the #octoberslide. I did not even manage to walk 3km in one entire week. My body literally can't handle it rn. That used to be my DAILY minimum.

it's beginning to look a lot like f*ck this 🫩 #seasonalaffectivedisorder #octoberslide

We are getting a taste of Autumn weather here in CNY & it rips me up that it now means symptom flares & increased daily pain levels. I'm determined to manage the #octoberslide better than the last 2 years but before Long COVID you would never have caught me hoping for a long Summer. #chroniclife

Me, in early October: “Huh, I’m actually feeling pretty good this year!”

#OctoberSlide: ”Hold my beer…”

The October Slide is hitting, & we (& many of our chronically ill friends) are feeling it.
Please keep inviting us, including us, & being patient with us.
We still want to create & connect—just at a gentler pace. 💛

We're still here! Just very sleepy... #OctoberSlide
