Visible app chat - not associated with Visible

I just want to wake up one morning and actually feel rested. Like my body actually did what sleep is supposed to do. Like I could get up and exist without pushing through exhaustion before the day even starts. #longcovid #mecfs

How did you spend Long Covid Awareness Day, did you know it was happening?

As folk with energy limiting illnesses we're all impacted by how society & the medical & research fields treat each other's illnesses 💙

We're stronger together!

@batemanhornecenter.bsky.social
We're very happy to see you guys here on Bluesky!

Yikes, what a week over in this part of me/cfs land!
To make up for it, let's do two questions!

What's your favorite thing about using the #visbleapp?

What do you wish they'd add?

Selfcare is core to #pacing & it's always valuable to hear from people living it rather than wearing a lab coat and preaching it. We all have our own paths, but we can also always learn from each other's experiences 💙

Did you know that Visible has a blog which covers new research around energy limiting conditions & that's available through the app via the community tab?
If so, how do you like it and how do you feel about the use of ads?

[Updated] "My paternal #grandmother was a professional seamstress & would hand sew..dresses for us when we were children.. #embroidery work can be lots of fun, & is also a #meditative experience as you focus and repeat the stitches": https://buff.ly/3T0DfxS #surgery #MondayBlogs

Has anyone gotten the 2.0 armband &, if so, do you think it was worth it?

Questions are probably going to be weekly now, but with all the usual caveats we're all used to giving.
Please feel free to bump old posts, tag us when you want to interact with folk who truly get it, or when you're having a good moment/hour/day!

I love that! Let me find the password and I'll message you when I do 💖

@belasco.bsky.social?

Sooooooo I keep hoping I'll have the spoons to do the daily questions etc. But I'm so tired! Does anyone want to take over this account to do it? #visibleapp #visibleappchat

Q6 what are some quiet activities that help you when you need to reduce your pace points for the day? #visibleappchat #visibleapp

Q4 how did you hear about #visibleapp? What made you decide to try it, if you have?

Light-skinned Indigenous woman in a dark brown winter coat, blue framed glasses and a reflex N95 mask. I have a surprise and somewhat pleasant look on my face. Behind me are hospital signs. I was happy that my Aranet4 was showing excellent indoor air quality, and that I could get a hospital wheelchair easily since I can’t walk more than five minutes.

A1 Tansi! Hi! I’m a disabled Indigenous keynote speaker/singer. I’m also a trauma-informed personal mentor and virtual event host for Covid-conscious women. 🔗 in my bio. Been using Visible app daily since April 2024 and love it. I’m a 4/5 today after a crash yesterday. Thx for this #VisibleAppChat!

Q2 has anything surprised you that can raise your heart rate? What sorts of things do, if you want to share?
#visibleappchat #visibleapp #mecfs #longcovid #pots #spoonie #chronicillness #chroniclife

Q1 introduce yourself however you feel comfortable (no dx or medical info needed, this is a public forum, unless you want to). Bonus points for pet pics!

Using #visibleapp to pace with #mecfs / #longcovid? Join #visibleappchat for daily-ish questions and conversation. #spoonie #chroniclife #chronicillness #pots

I probably should have used #visibleapp too. 😅 #visibleappchat

You can also just click on this account profile to see questions. That's why I made a separate one from my person one, so they won't get so lost #visibleappchat

You can search #visibleappchat and Q1, for instance to find it. It will help conversation if responses use the tag and A1, for instance, for answers, or reply to the original question post. If possible, but also I imagine we are all pretty tired! So don't worry about it if it's too much/forget

#visibleappchat will be a daily/ most days question that you can join at your leisure. The format will be the tag and the question number, like Q1.
