Hello everyone.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Having massacred my guts via decades of alcohol abuse, I now enjoy having a panic attack every time I’m sick and something weird happens. I do not recommend alcoholism. It’s quite unfun.
I’ve been ill over the weekend and mostly just drinking Gatorade, because I can’t keep any food down. Today I had a bowel movement that came out blood red. Had a major meltdown until I remembered that I’d downed a few liters of red Gatorade since Thursday.
God I can imagine the panic. I’m happy you stopped drinking, and I’m proud of you for getting sober. You got this, and please get well soon
Did you by chance get yourself checked for long term complications? Maybe your stomach has some lingering issue. It’s just a thought, please don’t feel obliged to reply.
