Dianna Cowern Instagram – (Dianna’s editor posting) Dianna is currently suffering from a multi-week crash. It’s been over a year since she got sick and she will still crash from any minor mental or physical stress. These crashes are the result from her severe MCAS and ME/CFS. I started helping Kyle and Dianna full-time here a couple months ago, and it’s surreal to see her state. I think when you’re not around it, it’s easy for the time to pass, or to assume the time goes by relatively easy from her bedroom. But it doesn’t. Dianna still doesn’t consume anything that is potentially overstimulating for her mind. She doesn’t watch movies, read books, or listen to music. She’s able to speak more throughout the day than she used to, and she develops little funny sentences or short songs in her head. But other than that, you’re looking at it. These pictures are the exact place she has been laying since January, unable to even get up and use the bathroom. This disease is slow, very slow. Some weeks are worse than others… #MECFS #chronicfatigue #longcovid #LongCovid19 #PhysicsGirl #notaflu #mecfsawarness
