Beth Morton @migrainechat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I wish doctors still made house calls. My fatigue and pain are so bad and I have no idea how I'm going to get to/through an appointment an hour away tomorrow. An appointment for my pain, and which I have low expectations will even be helpful. 5261

Beth Morton @migrainechat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026So the Bad Take of the Day on the other site is that people in online chronic illness communities are obsessed with being sick. We're all malingering. We don't want to get well. This really has been a f***ing week for the discourse. 170
Beth Morton @migrainechat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The thing about the mask discourse going around every few months is more people I thought were safe seem to out themselves as no longer masking each time it goes around. Then I question if I'm the last holdout on Earth. 2113

Beth Morton @migrainechat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Another example of why iHerb is awful: they credited me $5 for their prior screw up. The credit said it was good through 9/22 so I placed an order that day when an item I needed was restocked. They didn't apply the $5 credit because the system set it to expire at 5:07a and I placed my order at 10a. 120

Beth Morton @migrainechat.bsky.social · 23/09/2026One of the many reasons I hate late afternoon appointments is that I have all day to anticipate them. Even today's, w/a doctor I like, is stressful because I know we're out of options so it'll be a useless appointment. Just get it over with so I can go back to being curled up in a miserable ball. 150
