That must have been terrifying! Has he got his eyesight back fully now? One of the drugs I take to control my lupus has damaged my retinas - but not to the point of blindness, thank god.

Yes… “antivaxxer protest” dates it pretty accurately.
EDS here too! Type 3, but it’s pretty severe. PoTS, sjorgens, fibro, hypothyroidism, NAID etc etc. My lupus loves attacking my kidneys, heart and brain as well as joints, skin and hair, but it’s kinder on the outside than in. I don’t want to look ill, but it is a bit cruel to look pretty healthy on the outside but seriously ill on the inside. I wish you more good days than bad!
Screenshotted to death. It’s really old.
I was a little confused by the smile too, assuming she was no older than 30. Losing 6 years of your youth seems harder than 6 years in your 50s. Although it depends on the conditions she’s kept in.
Snap! Just the 3 for me, but lupus is vicious enough for two. I switched from oral methotrexate to injections about 10 years ago as the dosage was getting too high. I’ve been on prednisone continuously for 15+ years and boy does it show 😒 we most certainly did not win the genetic lottery!
You lower the “drawbridge” over the top of the stairs. Do your business and open the drawbridge again to use the stairs. Flawless design!
I thought dodgy loft conversion.
I was too distracted by the multiple ways I could die using that toilet to notice the lack of tp!
My immune system is literally trying to kill me. I don’t trust it with shit.
Yup. That little drawbridge thing leaves a nice gap underneath for added ventilation.
They’re not a thing in the UK anymore - outside of this they never really were. And I can’t see them starting up again tbh. There’s no political us vs them about it, they’re not mandatory - even for healthcare staff. What is there possibly to protest about? If you want to risk your life and the lives of everyone around you, you can go right ahead without any blowback or censure.
