Please help raise awareness about a serious illness that hides in plain sight

My name is Ang. If you’ve been following my story then I’m sure you’ve heard about this, but I’ve come down with a chronic illness. I have severe-spectrum MECFS. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or cruelly called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which downplays how much of a devastating, horribly disabling and terrifying disease this is.

It is an illness that affects millions, leaving a good portion of us housebound or bedbound, some so sick they are paralyzed and need to be tubefed and others die from the illness or complications.

I’ve been bedbound almost 3 months now since my illness has been progressing (which is nothing compared to how quickly it can become years), so sick some days I cant lift a spoon to feed myself, talk, or tolerate light and sound. I can’t draw anymore which was my passion in life as an artist, let alone take care of myself. I can’t even tolerate watching TV or play games most days to distract myself from the trauma caused by being confined to a bed in this sort of agony.

I got ill like this after getting the flu in January, and it’s been downhill from there as I started having bizarre neurological symptoms and collapsing episodes where I was unable to move, the energy draining from my body as the days went on until I needed a cane to walk, then a walker, then I was housebound with a wheelchair, and now I am bedbound and the severity steadily worsens with no let up so far despite doing everything I can to stop or slow the progression.

It is a level of sickness that is overwhelming me and my life is uncertain, but it’s looking grim from this point. I’m in severe pain constantly, on top of having horrible dysfunction in every other part of my body. I’ve only been steadily declining.

I lost my entire life right as it felt like it was starting. I was an artist working my dream job at Cartoon Network, and now I may never be able to return to the animation industry or live out my dreams of telling the stories I wanted.

The worst part is this illness could have been treatable by now! But it’s not, due to a deliberate choice of abuse and neglect by medical institutions. Most doctors aren’t trained to treat or diagnose M.E. and it gets practically no funding. Most sufferers are told it’s all in our heads (wrongfully diagnosed with conversion disorder or functional neurological disorder) even with evidence coming out that it’s a physical neurological disease and the only treatment we are given is get told to take anti-depressants, see a therapist, and exercise (despite exertion intolerance being the hallmark symptom and dangerous).

So the only way people like me have any hope of getting better is if we get a surge in awareness and understanding, and hope it leads to more funding and research. With decades of neglect and lives lost, this can’t go on.

At first I asked for donations when I was trying to figure out what was happening to my body as I threw money at doctors appointments begging for help only to get turned away and given no help, dwindling away my savings from when I used to work. And while donations were loved and helped significantly in my financial situation, it will not give me access to effective treatments if they don’t exist.

That is why I am asking you to help spread awareness. Please educate yourselves and donate if you can to organizations that research M.E.

People like me are suffering with a monster illness as debilitating as late-stage AIDS or cancer, hopelessly sick and dying with little help and living in severe medical neglect. I can’t even get a caregiver which I need now because my family can’t care for me longterm, all because my illness isn’t taken seriously by health insurance companies!

We need help. People with M.E. need help so bad because a lot of us are even too sick to advocate for ourselves.

If you want to know more there’s a wonderful documentary on Netflix made by M.E. sufferer, Jennifer Brea called Unrest (2017). Please give it a watch.

Here’s the trailer:

You can also see her speaking here on TEDtalk.

Here are organizations you can donate to:

https://solvecfs.org/donate/

https://www.meaction.net/donate/

Please share this. I am one of the #millionsmissing and while I have not been suffering with M.E. for very long compared to others, the trauma and destruction this illness brings is great and no one should have to go through this. I would not wish this suffering upon even my enemies.

We need awareness. We need advocacy. We need understanding. We need funding. We need diagnostic markers. We need research. We need effective treatments and hopefully one day a cure.

I may never have my old life back, and I don’t want anyone else to keep suffering the way I have since I’ve gotten sick. The pain is indescribable. I want one day for someone to get sick like I and others have, only to learn they can be diagnosed and effectively treated or cured.

Please help bring our stories to light. Please help save our lives.

Thank you.

Boosting this!

Examples of antisemitic dogwhistles are:

- the use of (((triple parentheses))) which represent perceived Jewish involvement in mass media, mass immigration, and global Zionism.

- calling ppl (specifically Jewish people) lizard people, aliens, etc. All of these lead back to antisemitic conspiracy theories.

-“New York Values” which due to New York’s large number of Jewish residents is used as a stand in for saying Jewish values or interests.

-using the names of well known Jewish people as shorthand for anti-government conspiracies, control over the population, etc.

- references to nameless, mysterious “elites” with no specifics given to who they are. Also references to a “new world order.” Both of these dogwhistles are tied to conspiracies that claim a shadowy group of powerful Jewish people are controlling the world.

-any and all of the above antisemitic dogwhistles combined with invoking blood libel (which refers to the allegation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish, usually Christian children, for ritual purposes.) Example: Someone saying that mysterious, wealthy elites are trying to drink/consume the blood of kidnapped youth.

This isn’t everything but these seem to be the dogwhistles tumblr is too stupid to stop spreading. If you want to read more about this I’ll include some links.

- An explanation/history of blood libel

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/blood-libel

- The wiki page with an overview of what dogwhistle politics are

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-whistle_politics

-A list of conspiracy theories on Wikipedia that includes a brief section discussing common antisemitic conspiracies

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories

-David Icke’s wiki (his antisemitic theories are really popular and are often memed about so know what his ideas look like)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

-google “how to spot antisemitic dogwhistles” and you can find multiple articles breaking down various statements that are used as poorly veiled attacks on Jewish people.

Please take a moment to step back and appreciate and accentuate what is lovely about your life right now. Take a very large breath, and possibly have some water. You are going to make it.

It’s taking the decorations day down in the UK - it’s supposed to be bad luck to leave them up after 6 Jan.

However, Ponder also took Blaise’s latest very small hoard of paperwork away. But he’s a dragon! Dragons gonna hoard. ESPECIALLY sparklies!

ETA: The complete dismantling of Christmas led to a brief moment of
particularly intense - and more comfortable from the perspective of a
dragon with a fluffy rather than a scaly arse - hoarding joy.

Then his human had to take it all away :(

yknow 1 of the little things i appreciate about kid icarus is how realistically pit’s outfit accommodates his wings

But the real question is how does he get his spandex top on over his wings

here’s a little drawing i made hopefully explaining it:

Even better question: How does he get out of it again. 8D

alright, well i’ve seen a few people asking this, so i’m back again (this time on my main blog) to try to explain it:

i hope this clears anything up!

Do you have wings

this is a straight couple. it’s straight. you’re in a heterosexual relationship. there is nothing remotely “queer” about this in the slightest whatsoever. jesus h christ

this is why i hate “reclaiming” queer

Are you fucking kidding me do you hate bisexuals that much that you’re willing to go along with terfs for a dunk on the bihets? Is that it now, is that the community? Is shitting on queer people so important to you that you’ll throw away all your standards?

We also don’t know if these people are binary but let’s judge them at a first glance and base their identity on their presentation because that’s so progressive!

I love how people are all “Bisexuals are JUST as much a part of the LGBT+ community as Gay people”…

And

“Trans 👏People 👏 Don’t 👏 Need 👏 To 👏 Pass👏 To 👏 Be 👏 Respected”

But yet are totally willing to throwout bisexuals and trans people and other sexualities.

Because it feels very good to outwardly judge people we don’t know anything about their identity or life’s experiences - because that’s not at ALL the exact thing that non-lgbt+ people do to tear down the community. No.

This is my husband and I. I am sure if you saw us on the street you would assume we were a cishet couple.

News flash: we aren’t.

I am a bisexual who has been in relationships with only women. He is a Transguy who has been on T for over a decade. We have been together for 18 years. We both identify as queer. We are out. We are active in the LGBTQ+ community.

But all of you calling that couple above straight, you just keep judging people on a photo alone and pretending you know who they are and what their stories are.

Us queers in relationships you judge will keep being happy and healthy and living our best life while you choke on your bullshit.

This is my partner and I! (Sorry for the weird lighting, we were at a fashion show lol)

We are both bisexual. I’ve been in a relationship with someone who identified as female at the time (they have since come out as nonbinary), but even if I had not, that doesn’t discount my own sexuality.

We are both cisgender, but we are still both bisexual. I am very active within the LGBT+ community. He is not, due to people like OP.

It’s 20biteen everybody! All bisexuals are valid no matter their own gender or the gender of their significant other!

I’d also like to add that the original instagram post is of pixielocks, a youtuber who is a bisexual woman, and her ex partner who’s nonbinary

lmao op’s a TERF their thoughts on the matter arent relevant anyways
