We're close to the end. Bladder doesn't work and kidneys have stopped filtering. Doctor is trying a med to trick the kidneys to work, as they don't seem damaged. I think my body is just too tired. Still don't have the vitals for hospice.

I messed up and got myself in a situation where I was pushed to my physical limit over the span of a few hours. Things are pretty bleak. It's likely we'll be starting VSED in a week or two. Going to consult with my death doula tomorrow.

🚨Too Real rn update🆘 Haven’t finished processing what just happened. I just know I need more help. I just cannot do what needs to be done, consistently. Even to crowdfund. Let me explain. #MutualAid /1
🚨Chemo/ Doctor Update🚨 Just getting home from a whole day at the oncology/lab/infusion center. They don’t tell you before the targeted therapy/ #chemo rounds are a zillion tests & constant bloodwork. Or that it will come when you are at your MOST exhausted.

4) Teaching others to navigate a system that youve figured out is just as important as moving science forward. Im here because ppl stepped up and helped me. Telling someone not to do it means you had a privilege during your journey that you arent introspective enough to realize

I'm so thankful I'm surrounded by so many supportive friends and family. I'm so glad I was able to experience so much life before this. I'll try to post a bit before this dementia fully sets in. I greatly appreciate the community I've been able to meet here. #NEISvoid

Unfortunately things have been deteriorating a lot faster than I thought. #LongCOVID seems to be playing off my EoE and accelerating each other. I'm loosing cognition fast. I'm going to be choosing VSED in the coming months. I've found a death doula and they're very supportive.

kevin barton (the washington county DA) & max williams (the old dept of corrections director) want you to believe them when they say: "This is not a return to the 'war on drugs,' as Measure 110 backers contend." ...while they describe the war on drugs. https://t.co/IeyM14tjcr

I got my last bump in dose of guanfacine. It's surreal to realize it's all downhill from here in terms of cognition. I really appreciate the extra time afforded to me to better help get my affairs in order. It's going to be a weird ~6 months. #NEISvoid #LongCOVID

Small note to all the clinicians expressing “regret” over the “needless” deaths of pw #longcovid and #mecfs because “we have the tools to help” With all my heart: go fuck yourselves. We have no approved therapies. Pretending otherwise with your uninformed arrogance kills.
Felt this hard today. Every clinician/researcher who has touched #LongCovid, #MECFS and chronic #lyme should see this as the unacceptable price for decades of underfunding, stigma and ignorance. Every patient who is seeing this and being affected: Please hold fast if you can ❤️🩹
