Now it's getting worse every day instead of every month. This upcoming appointment better have solutions or i don't know what I'll do

Rivborg @rivborg.bsky.social · 4d

I am in so much pain. Even with a shower stool my muscles are so exhausted and cramped and shaky. Everything keeps getting worse and it doesn't stop

Getting my witchy space set up a teeny bit by teeny bit- my knee issues mean i can only be active for a few minutes at a time 🙃

*who are also witchy

I want to live on a ranch/ farm with about half a dozen other disabled queer artists.

Who's in?

Rivborg @rivborg.bsky.social · 5d

My experience of disability progression right now feels a lot like the first few years of having Dystonia symptoms- never knowing which part of my body would become affected next, losing ability every month or season.. it's very hard.

I have been looking into air magic and feel like there's a connection ✨️

Praying mantis right outside my window- anyone know the spiritual significance or symbolism of these dudes?

*if I randomly get a whole bunch of energy later, cool. But I'm not going to plan or expect myself to do more than that one thing.

Rivborg @rivborg.bsky.social · Jan 8

Today I am focused on gathering enough energy and mental focus to bathe. And that's it.

Hopefully I won't need to use my inhaler 🤞🏻

Asthma is so fun /s

I randomly ch*ked (which happens when I'm stressed) and of course was coughing hard for a while, and now I got that wheeze..

I'll force myself in a minute but it's gonna look like this:

Anything with cold surfaces or getting my face wet in the coldest area of the house exacerbates Dystonia symptoms and my entire body essentially becomes immobile

Rivborg @rivborg.bsky.social · Dec 3

.. for a lot of reasons but today the reason is I haven't been able to pee or wash my face/piercing in the 4 hours I've been up

Rivborg @rivborg.bsky.social · Dec 3

It sure would be nice not to have a neuromuscular disorder that acts up with cold weather

Rivborg @rivborg.bsky.social · Dec 2

I've missed the last couple c*v*d grief sessions and need to get back into that, especially being around family* more often

*almost none of whom take precautions to keep me (or them) safe.
