How do you boycott the tariffs?

Day 3 without prednisone the swelling in my face has gone down and I haven’t been in ANY pain.

They should be doing all they can instead of worrying about us tho.

10 I got more than enough sleep and I’m still resting. I’ll take it

Why isn’t Elon Musk being arrested right now? Wtf is going on

How do I listen to podcasts? Like where do I start? What are some good black ones?

Black women and black women only.

You are awesome
You are beautiful
You are loved.

Quitting prednisone today. If I die I die. Idc I can’t be on this sht anymore.

Accepting the fact that nobody gives af

Has anyone else dealt with lupus postpartum? How do you manage flares and pain without relying on prednisone? Any advice on quitting vaping while dealing with chronic illness?

I also want to quit vaping—I know it’s likely worsening my flares, but it’s my only comfort after losing so much. I feel so depressed and alone in this.

I’m back at work and will hit 1 year on February 5th, making me eligible for FMLA. I’ve had so many call-offs since this started, and I’m fresh off maternity leave, so I can’t afford to be sick. I’m looking for a PCP to help with FMLA paperwork

—mouth sores, fever, fatigue, and extreme joint pain. It feels like no one cares or understands. When I ask for alternatives to prednisone, I’m told there are none.

I saw a rheumatologist who refused to prescribe pain meds or prednisone until labs came back. After losing it, I was fired as a patient. Now, I’m at a clinic taking Hydroxychloroquine (200mg 2x/day) and trying to taper off prednisone (down to 20mg). I’m flaring every 2 weeks.

This time, the pain started in my hands, traveled up my arms, and became so severe I couldn’t hold my baby. The ER checked for blood clots and sent me home, dismissing my pain.

I was diagnosed with Lupus SLE in November 2024 at 32, just after giving birth in October. I had symptoms after my first pregnancy in 2017 (fatigue, hair loss), but they went away on their own.

Thoughts on deep seek?

There’s a special on Groupon $60 for a year membership.

I made green tea 🍵

It should’ve been free then lol

5k steps on my walking pad & im going out for tacos. I’m a work in progress 🙂‍↕️

It’s Sunday so I can make this week about fitness and actually get up and exercise while the kids are sleeping or and I can lay here and complain some more.

Tapering off prednisone and quitting TikTok at the same time. It’s been a rough week for me 🥲

I just purchased the first 3 books. Too late to get in on January’s discussion but I’ll be ready for February 🙂‍↕️

Going to be very mindful of where I consume media these days. Spotify can go to H E double hockey sticks.

Life rn feels like that episode of the power puff girls when the villains made it night time forever so they could all stay out. 😭

We really need to get sb to lay hands on Trump and pray over him. He literally has a spirit of chaos and he’s projecting it onto the entire country. My Granny would fix his ass tho. I do believe that.

There's gotta' be a better way to start the day than waking up

Done posting my intrusive thoughts for the night.

I can’t even differentiate tabloid rage bait content from the actual news because American is so fucked up rn. This is what AI wanted 😭
