  • Sorry to hear that. FYI this is unintuitive but “strong immune system” would mean you would have a worse reaction to the infection.

    People often die just as much because their immune system overreacts to infections, than the infection directly killing them.

    All that stuff, fever, coughing, phelm, is a consequence of your immune system fighting the infection. Not inherent to the infection itself.

    (This is one of my pet peeves, sorry, a strong immune system is just as bad as a weak one, from your life experience it sounds like yours is perfectly balanced).

    Ah I hate that. TFW I wake up to like 30 inbox messages after knowing I said something controversial.

    (With me it’s usually when I posted something about advancing disability rights).

    And I just don’t have the mental energy to check it out, so I mark all as read and pretend nothing happened lol.
















  • we’ve got a couple regulars posting on !chronicillness@lemmy.world so we get atleast two posts a week nearly no matter what which is cool.

    I don’t think we need to force ourselves to be more active than that. Threads that get big on our community attract a lot of non-disabled people who say discriminatory stuff and it becomes a moderation headache.

    The comm was intended as a support group but sometimes becomes a sort of debate group when non-disabled people try to share their “views” on our disabilities. So those big threads may not really be serving their purpose.

    @bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de is really carrying it with their weekly threads.
