C: I hate COVID so much I hate that this disease broke containment and spread all over the world. I hate that any time I get it I'm at serious risk of my immune system fucking killing me like it did back in 2021. I hate having to hide from my friends during the winter or act so "paranoid" compared to everyone else that's just treating this like normal. It feels like the world has just sort of treated the immunecompromised as a worthy sacrifice in order for things to go "back to normal". I wish we could have killed this disease but instead it's here to stay like the flu but way more dangerous for me and other compromised folks. I'm so fucking social and I crave the comfort of my friends and loved ones but I have to act like a scared prey animal unsure if it's safe to leave my house.

Got that covid booster shot. I'm immune compromised af for multiple reasons. But giving myself injections of biologic meds every other week for my #rheumatoidarthritis is what made me eligible for the booster right now. . Because people like me, my immune system doesn't work right. So the first two shots probably didn't give me very good protection. Most vaxxed people who catch the covid virus will only have mild upper respiratory symptoms, then the protection from the vaccine kicks in, and their boosted immune system fights off the virus before it causes the serious disease process. Like wearing a helmet in a motorcycle crash - you still get hit with covid, but the vaxx gives you more protection. . But this isn't Harry Potter and a vaccine isn't an invisibility cloak, ;) Even vaxxed people do get those mild infections. But then, drs started noticing a trend... the vast majority of people sick enough to need hospitalization for covid are unvaxxed patients. But in the small percent who were breakthrough injections, people who were fully vaxxed but still got sick -- the ones who were getting sick enough to be admitted were the #immunecompromised. Clearly, boosters were called for, right away, for our group of people. 🖤 . So, I got mine. Yay. And fingers crossed it keeps me safer. Since I can't rely on my own immune system to fight off infection for me, due to my meds destroying it every week. That's also why I still mask up. . I had almost no side effects from my first two shots. Tonight, my freaking armpit is swollen like a baseball. Really awkward, ugly, and painful af, wozers. But worth it. Now, just fingers crossed for approval on that 12 and under vaxx to keep my kiddo safe too, headed back to school. . Because dammit man, I want to go back to normal life again. I miss people and things and places and parties and travel. 🖤🖤🖤 I'm bored and I'm lonely. . #lifeisastory #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #chronicallyill #chronicillnesses #spoonie #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spoonieproblems #boostershot #vaccinationeducation #yallneedscience #spoonieselfie #spooniesisterhood #spooniesupport #chronicillnessawareness #immunesystembooster #liverdisease (at Yakima, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3LrCqLrau/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m ready for festival season looking like @panamajack with a #goatee. But I’m staying my #immunecompromised self with #cvid at home #isolated to stay safe from the #COVID-19 outbreak in #USA. In a nation that has just 4.25 percent of the world population, we have almost 20 percent of the cases and deaths. #washyourhands #wearamask #savemylife so I can continue to #DJ and #produce #DnB and #dubstep for you amazing folks to dance to! #onelove photo credit @janwicked (at Carver Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCB8-bWj9DM/?igshid=qm5kjt7crvc3
