It’s been 8 days since I got my first shot of Xolair. The pressure in my head is better. I had fun this weekend which is good because I had even stopped listening to music. I am less itchy. I feel WAY less restless. I am way MORE nauseous. Food still sucks. Headed in the right direction tho.

The drugs are fine to take together.

I had to figure that out on my own and I’ve been largely managed until yesterday.

It’s been over a year since I’ve seen them. They do not even manage my meds. There is a sign on their door that says “call your gp for refills” I didn’t call them this time because last time they said water and compression. What was actually happening was that I was taking stimulants accidentally.

I think they do. Chapter 1 is specifically about shutting down people they see who take ssris. Yeah my dudes I’m depressed as hell. One snack sent me to the ER lmao.

I started a medication that in theory, if it works, could return my heart to a normal rate. I’m still taking beta blockers. I don’t know if this is a concern because no one is following this. Not the dr who prescribed it, not my cardiologist, not my GP. Just me and my gc girlies against the world.

Where do we go for acute issues that are caused by our chronic illnesses? The ER doesn’t manage our issues. Well neither do our doctors. So where do we go. What do we do? We sit at home and hope it’s not fatal.

I would love @susanholtnb.bsky.social and the minister of health to weigh in on this.

Are they not tired of this game? It was fixed the same day it was called out. They know, they’re just hoping someone will stop reminding them. I’m tired of this game.

NB COVID info @nbcovidinfo.bsky.social · 6d

Woke up to pee and for some reason I decided to punt this thing again and look what changed … now if only the actual healthcare system would switch to respirators and deploy HEPA and other IAQ improvements.

Screenshot of NS Health’s AI chat bot. At 10am this morning I asked it a question. Now at 2am I asked it again and got a VERY different answer. HMMM.

I started my biologic to help with my food intolerances, incredible itching and other MCAS symptoms. P is taking excellent care of me. “So, what are your side effects or symptoms now?” Still feeling sea sick on land little dude. 🤢

Sure it’s unfair because it’s another job offloaded to the public.

They’re still trying to placate anti maskers. That’s the problem. They are so belligerent that they can’t enforce it for some.

Haley @haleyjo261.bsky.social · 11d

There is a mandate in the sense that they are supposed to be wearing masks in patient facing spaces. But no one enforces it. Even last winter the ER door person was telling people they only needed one if they wanted it.

Please share the wwater.ca/New_Brunswic... wastewater site with friends outside of Bluesky. Link to it on your other socials. That link is directly to Sackville which is having a massive COVID surge. Read on for other observations. /1

Screenshot from the link. Image shows a graph of wastewater levels in one NB community, Sackville. The recorded levels from the most recent sample are the highest for Sackville since wastewater testing started being reported there.

I am having a very very very very very very very very bad time but we're off to the library anyway. have you all checked out your library for skill kits? We have a ton. What a cool way to pick up a new hobby.

The audacity of everyone calling another Nb rate hike “modest”. There is no one who gets more of my money than NB power. I am ALWAYS behind on my power bill. NB power is the one keeping my head underwater.

It’s a beautiful night to be out doing mutual aid.

I hope you’re all listening to Shift right now. Shout out to Vanessa and Dr. Gorfinkel for stepping into reality for half a second.

This is our second week with a Friday morning social engagement and I just have to say this is not the same body I used to get 3 kids ready and out the door before 8 with.

Hmmm....wonder which one isn't seasonal and today's report states activity level "moderate" and trend "increasing"

I don’t know how people are still capable of being polite for the sake of it. I am the meanest person alive now.
