The perils of attempting to mask how sick I am and how scared I am about it but at the same time needing to be able to compartmentalize
there's a bright light though. we (myself plus two wonderful volunteers) made some bouquets for a Truth and reconciliation celebration. I'll share a pic. energy I shouldn't have spent but in the face of melting down it seems it was extra important because I probably wouldn't have rebalanced as quickly had I not done that purpose driven connection activity

Healing Crisis
it just realized I didn't really explain in this episode what I mean by healing crisis. for me it's been when a treatment makes some symptoms worse but ultimately improves everything. things get a little bit worse before they get a whole bunch better. sometimes when I give my body the things it needs it kind of rushes to course correct things and that can be exhausting. in today's case made the mast cell activation a tiny bit worse and then a whole bunch better. it's not fixed, we're not getting it fixed, until we get me on the angioedema antihistamine and get the downstairs ductwork sorted and get me back on either one dose of paxlovid or some of the drugs from the anti Epstein bar protocols from the Australian Ms studies. that's what it would take to roll back my deterioration and stabilize me. but I need to pull together the energy to pick back up the fight. right now I'm in survival mode particularly until we get me a functioning mobility scooter again. of course that's a huge part of restabilizing me because that's a huge part of why I suddenly fell apart so hard

MASKING
where I talk about masking pain and fear. what masking is how it works. how it can trigger nightmares as it has done this evening. and I talk about how the death of my mobility scooter a couple of weeks ago is throwing me off a mitochondrial deterioration cliff
I also talk about how I amal massively deteriorating and that is definitely raising my fear levels as I will run out of GoFundMe money super fast if I end up permanently back on the intravenous. I booked in for an appointment for one with the hopes of restabilizing me. but if being outside my energy envelope because of lack of mobility scooter has once again caused me to have reduced glutathione production or worse I have stopped producing it at all. well, that's a death sentence. because the current GoFundMe money is not going to get me very far. and between inflation and the tariff situation and no news publication on The horizon to tell my story, the GoFundMe has been very quiet. which is frustrating because 10,000 people donating $5 would get me restabilized and give me time and energy to keep at the system.
to keep advocating.
to keep fighting
but time is what I do not have
