Abstractly Healing

I hate seeing stories like these or of “partners” being disrespectful and non-supportive. Makes me happy I’m single, even on the tougher days.

Long COVID drained me of energy recently, but I did manage these two small drawings over the last few weeks.

The 1st is 12”x9” and the 2nd is a tiny 4”x4”.

Can you please share which of the presentations addressed this: “MECFS and LongCovid severely damage the immune system, to similar extents as HIV/AIDS, w similar mortality rates.”

I’m not seeing evidence of that anywhere and would like to dig into it more. Thank you.

Perhaps she tested before visiting?

Just another day in #longcovid paradise. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This 9”x12” drawing took four nights to create. I don’t think I’ll want to draw a circle again any time soon.

It’s disappointing when friends/family in general don’t show the initiative to learn, but I’d imagine that is amplified when medical professionals aren’t even demonstrating some level of curiosity.

Just spoke with my CDC sources

They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA.

Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month.

Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.

Enjoying more line work recently.

9”x12” Bristol paper & 4”x4” paper tile, both w/ alcohol markers and Pentel pen.

Thanks so much!

Done!

I am so grateful that I am older (63). My heart goes out to younger people and those with children who are navigating life with this illness. I can’t even imagine.

Great read. Thank you for sharing.

Been on it ~ 6 months and still experiencing crushing fatigue, insomnia, all my POTS symptoms.

Maybe it takes the edge off somehow a bit so I keep taking it, but not really seeing a huge benefit.

Blue, green & purple - another favorite color combo.

Thank you so much. 😀

Thank you so much.

Having fun with my favorite color - orange.

Give them points for originality - at least it wasn’t Tumeric and yoga.

That’s where I was Friday afternoon/Saturday after having to shower and go to a medical appt. Still recovering but a little better today.

Hope the worsened symptoms improve soon. (I know better than to say “get well soon” as, with long COVID, that’s not happening).

With long COVID & POTS (and likely undiagnosed ME/CFS & MCAS) I rarely drive as it feels like I’m moving in slow motion & everything around me in is hyper-speed mode.

I tend to drive only when absolutely necessary, on neighborhood (no highway) roads, and when I know where I’m going w/o use of GPS.

Any guesses on what inspired this 6”x6” drawing?

Created with alcohol markers and Pentel .01 pen.

Timely piece. I’m crashes out today after showering late Thursday night & going for a brain MRI yesterday. Just now (~ 36 hrs. post-shower) getting my resting heart rate back to normal. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is frustrating to see as I literally just had a brain MRI w/ contrast yesterday & it showed no inflammation. I was hoping it would reveal inflammation as the reason for my #longCOVID brain fog & cognitive decline.
