Just a fraction of my old self, I exist in the LH of ME/CFS.
Watching tennis keeps me sane. Justice for all living things

I'm like an avocado in that I'm only good for a short period of time, and unfortunately, there's no way to figure out when that is

[tern @1goodtern]

Just so you know:
If someone has a chronic illness, but they carefully manage it so that you can see no signs of the chronic illness, they still have a chronic illness.

@TanteRos @AndrewG76201347 Oh me too. My mom has been gone 7 years now but that support still keeps me going.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@TanteRos So true, it's the same for me. That's why we so value the relationships we develop with people like you

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@TanteRos I have the same experience. Luckily I only take the free ones from The New York Times so I run out pretty quickly.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@ThatEricAlper My mom.

[LEO @Leo_Tweets]

#Leo's are often disappointed because their expectations of people are too high.

[ChronicIllnessHumor @HumorChronic]

I'm at a place in my life where I can only handle one event every 1-2 weeks. Doctor's appointment? Blood work? Grocery shopping? Pick one. Everything else gets pushed to "maybe next week."

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@TanteRos Okay I meant strong fingers!

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@TanteRos I have always had a very strong wrist, could open anything, I still have a strong wrist but not the energy to use it. If I can't do it in the first three seconds, I'm lost. It is so frustrating although it has got a bit easier in recent years. Hope your new one works for you.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

... how much #ME will make me pay for that exertion.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

My new fridge is due to arrive on Friday. Until then I am but a deer in the Headlights, wondering if or how well I will be able to fake interaction with other human beings. And...

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

My fridge just stopped working. Not necessarily a big deal for regular people, but I have #severeME.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@DiaryofaSickGrl Yes, yes, yes, I miss them so much.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

" I wish you came along." In my day, haha, this was not grammatical, in fact it barely made sense. What has happened to tenses? I see lots like this but I really like the song. Okay back to survival #pwME.

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@DiaryofaSickGrl Like some relatives.

[ChronicIllnessHumor @HumorChronic]

I’m never hard to find. I’m at home. I’ll continue being at home. And if I don’t answer the door, that doesn’t mean I’m not home. I am. I just never answer the door. 🤣

[Rose Hewitt @rose4Rog4ever]

@TanteRos The frustrated gardener in me never learns either! We become expert draggers.

[SK @SteCK1878]

If you have dogs you know this is 100% truth! 😂
