I have lupus and other health issues, so getting sick knocks me on my ass way more than the average person. Of course I come down with something just before a week where I have plans that coincide with the expected nice weather. Guess I’m not gonna do what I had wanted to. -_-

    I have similar health issues with an autoimmune disease. Colds turn into respiratory infections everytime and I’m always admitted to hospital. It’s sucks so I understand your pain. I know this doesn’t help but a stranger on the internet is pulling for ya to get better quick.

      Thank you so much. I’m so sorry you also struggle with autoimmune stuff. It’s crazy how a body can just attack itself

        Thanks it’s not all bad I have had a few surgeries to remove lymph nodes and I got a cool scar out of it. Makes me look like a bond villain Lol I always try to take the good out of the bad every chance is get. I will say the only down side of lemmy is the lack of support group boards like reddit had. It was always nice to talk to people with similar experiences.

          Cool scars are always dope as hell. I have quite a few, myself. None make me seem like a villain tho lol. Lemmy definitely needs more support groups, but I am far too busy to create and moderate one myself. I do have to say that Lemmy has grown a LOT since I joined in 2022. I joined in the reddit blackout exodus and it’s been worth it. Hopefully more growth will lead to more supportive spaces for folks who need it
