A quick bit of unsolicited advice if you don't mind. Since there's no algorithm on Mastodon, hashtags are an especially important way to help others find your posts. People can search them or follow them so they show up in their home feeds. You can include them in the text of your post or on a separate line below. I think some appropriate hashtags here would be: #flu #Washington #Health and #CDC
#medical #ChronicIllness #health
I appreciate my doctor's efforts to help me with my ongoing complex health issues ... but if he tells me one more time to “just hang in there" when I tell him I'm struggling, I swear I'm just going to start breaking things.
It's not normal to be housebound 80% of the time.
It's not normal to need to rest in bed for days after spending just 2 hours 'out in the world doing things.’
It's not normal to have doctors tell you to 'just hang in there' when you say your combined disability is severely affecting the quality of your life and ability to work, study, and participate in society.
Normalize treating complex, disabled patients.
Normalize prioritizing our well-being.
Normalize hearing our self-advocacy.
Normalize advocating for us.

"The boy had contracted measles as a 7-month-old, when he was too young to be vaccinated.
Then in middle school, he started to develop troubling symptoms...
[A] pediatric neurologist finally suspected a condition called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, or SSPE. It's a degenerative neurological condition that typically develops seven to 10 years after a measles infection. It is almost always fatal."

Nigel Turner's observation will also be familiar to this working in higher education where a similar trend is clear when a new Vice Chancellor arrives to reform the University....
Turner's manager offered a concise summation of the problem of excessive political interest in the health service - politicians always think they know best, but seldom do (as they find out).
"Despite Trump’s campaign promise to not block access to abortion medication, several of his cabinet picks have pledged to take another look at the safety of mifepristone, keeping the door open for future regulations. There have already been numerous studies proving the safety of mifepristone."
