Probably Prowerfox

Introduction post! I'm Prower, probably wherever you have a local one. I am disabled since 2014 with ME/CFS, and in between dealing with that I fill my time with crafts, raising my kid, petting my dogs, and video games when my cognition allows.

See you tomorrow One day at a time One day to see The sun shine brighter One day to look Out at the moon Being human ain't easy Life is a lot Thank you for staying You Are Enough 💚🌙 Words by myself, Art by Loryn Brantz 🥹 tinyurl.com/LorynMychal

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

As a singer, wearing a mask and working has been challenging. Knowing I’m keeping my family and community safe is worth looking different and pushing through ❤️ #covidconscious #masking #maskchains #immunocompromised #maskup

Oh great an article about how to stay healthy when traveling… with zero mentions of wearing a mask. Public health is a joke.

All the cold, cough, and flu products ads make me crazy. Take a snort of Afrin and go to your gig. Take some Alka Seltzer Plus and go on your date. Take Painquil and gather with your family. Take some flu meds and go to work. NO, TAKE A COVID TEST AND STAY YOUR ASS AT HOME! 😷

The thing about mecfs is, it is inescapable. I am moderate now as opposed to severe. Some days I have good days and I think oh wow, is it really leaving? No, no it isn't. It is here to stay. Crashed today. My naive T cells are depleted, silly me for having hope

"but can you physically do it?" that's like asking if I'm able to jump off the roof. yeah but not without injuring myself #LongCovid #MECFS

Thank you to everyone who still makes the courageous choice to mask, even if it’s not what everyone else is doing

“For most healthy young adults, these viruses don't really pose a threat, unless you're challenged with things like COVID.” I lived my first 46 years believing chronic illness didn’t pose a threat to me. And then COVID came for me. www.npr.org/2026/10/23/n...

My reaction to absolutely everything right now

Repeated infections being a “fact of life” is a framing designed to make you think something is naturally inevitable rather than the expected result of a series of public health decisions designed with something other than your health and safety at the forefront.

The CDC might take away a key data source on Long COVID and ME. You have until this Tuesday, October 20, to tell them why that would be a mistake. The advocacy group Solve ME has put together a script that people can use to leave a comment: solvecfs.org/cdc-me-cfs-l...

Such a fantastic interview from Beth Dobbin on the scourge that is #ME/CFS. How she managed to hit all the key points in a short conversation - the arbitrariness, the life-altering severity, the lack of support, and the incredulity faced by sufferers from medical establishment and society at large.

“Just having a conversation… can impact you afterwards. When I say impact you, you feel like you're dying basically.” Former Olympic sprinter Beth Dobbin describing post-exertional malaise the hallmark symptom of #ME.

All the garden variety tests that your corner doc can order up will be "normal," despite you being debilitated for months or even years.

Anyone need a genuinely *nice* story for this Wednesday? "Takahashi thought the lost barrel might be adrift somewhere on the Bering Sea by now. Or, he imagined an 'Alaskan bear wearing my down jacket or like, playing my flute...'"

Pretty key sentence. People have screamed “ITS ENDEMIC” at me since at least 2023, and A) it wasn’t and B) using endemic to mean “it’s fine now” is very, very stupid.

I keep seeing clips of a politician at a town hall saying “I think the responsible thing to do when you have something like the flu is to stay home and not get other people sick,” and I wish the next question had been: “what will you do to ensure everyone can do that?”
