Please keep inviting your disabled/chronically ill friends to things. We can't always come, but it means a lot to know we're still wanted.

My social circle has dwindled *dramatically* since I got sick, and the pandemic cut off 80% of what remained.

Even if I say no a lot it doesn't mean I never want to come. In fact, it means I want to see people more, when I'm able.

Wow, OK. This took off faster than I can keep up with the notes. I didn't know that was a thing that could happen on Mastadon!

Thanks for the faves and follows! Isolation, disability, and chronic illness sucks.

@Rhube
You've spoken up my mind and hearth ..😘.

80% friendloss is much but i'm actually on 100% since abt 3 years ago by reasons... and no one wanted to believe me that this is the reality; no medical assessor of my Health insurance not even some governmental ppl...
they always wrote one as minimum and normally i was then shortly on getting a very bad an agressiv temper for not noting the reality.....

@fenriswitch That really sucks. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. It's very hard to manage on your own.
@Rhube
the only crazy positiv thing is that i never got Covid so far my Doctors told me - got 4 jabs instead *lolz*
@fenriswitch Congrats on the jabs! I got COVID in April 2020 before there were any jabs and it really fucked me up. Doing better now, with the existing CFS it's been a very slow recovery, and because the government doesn't recognise that CFS makes you vulnerable, I can't get a fourth jab.

@Rhube talking of isolation, just realised I've left the house twice in two weeks. Once to get my hair done and once to take the cat to the vet.

On the plus side, I've tidied my bookcase lol

@The20thDoctor Yeah, I hardly go outside anymore. I haven't had my hair done since the pandemic (two weeks before the first lockdown I got an undercut, so that's been INTERESTING to grow out).

But, I have just got a mobility scooter, and I'm hoping that will help.

@Rhube unfortunately i have to agree from my own experience
