I hope you have a better few hours at the very least soon Lia, you help me so much with your posts, I'm in a very similar situation just no full time caregiver and I have no friends at all so really, this is my whole community even if I stay in the shadows. When and if you feel like it and if you feel a bit better, do you have any tips for dealing with the medical gaslighting? I just switched from private healthcare to public (I'm in Spain) and when talking to my new doctor, he straight up said I'm making "5 year old girl excuses" when I say I genuinely can't move, exercise and "just study/work" like he says, since I'm "too young". I'm not getting over it and it hurts so much not being believed while going through this. I'm never going back to the doctors again that's for sure, they don't have a cure so why even follow my condition if they're just gonna destroy me mentally. sorry for venting, I'm just hoping someone can give some tips on how to cope when even if it sounds cringy, it feels like the world is against me and I'm crazy when I'm bedbound unable to move, with a never ending flu fever and pains all over, 0 energy etc, I mean you know exactly how it feels. ugh I just wanna hug all of you going through the same thing. You are not alone, I love you guys. And really thank you Lia for even having this account, it must take an insane toll on you having to take videos and post so often, it's incredibly hard to be an ME activist on its own because many of us literally can't even speak or post and I know that must be you too most of the time. you're a hero I hope you know this
