@Silas33 Honestly, money. Stressing about money makes my ME worse, worse ME makes it harder for me to make money, the downwards cycle continues. More money would mean I could rest more, pay for some symptom management stuff, that would help a lot

@CaliforniaCodes I had covid in feb, I’m still testing faintly pos on FF, but I’ve not had other potential exposures/no symptoms since so pretty sure it’s not new infections. I’m testing neg on other brands of tests. From my googling it seems this happens with FF for some people

Friend’s child sadly tested positive on flow flex RAT on June 16th. They are STILL testing positive albeit faintly this week 45 days later (6+ weeks now 🤯). Rebound seems to be occurring weekly with some negatives showing in between. Is this more common than we think? 🧐

@tomlins_amanda Haha thank you I’m glad you like it! It hangs opposite my bed so I see this one every morning. No plans to make this a tee at the moment sorry! Maybe one day ☺️

@ThisThingBlog Love, love love all your goodies. The print below made me laugh out loud (thank you😀) - so close to my daily ‘ok this is shit, now how do I manage it’ mantra! Can you put this on a T-shirt? I know, there’s always one! No worries if not, a print is great too🙏💜

@ThisThingBlog I remember reading something about people with ME testing positive much longer (like months), will have a look and see if I can find the research!

#CovidTwitter any idea why 4 months after an infection I’m still regularly testing faintly pos on flowflex? Not on other rapid tests. I have M.E already so tricky to tell if I have long covid symptoms but I don’t think so! (Yet). Scares me 😳 #CovidIsntOver

@ThisThingBlog Same here. Shielding as much as humanly possible. Microclimate when I absolutely have to be in person. Totally get it. There are so many of us still having to do this which sucks.

Today is officially 4 years since I’ve seen friends in person. Many will think that’s silly. But many will understand. There’s lots of us still shielding, abandoned by society. You’re not on your own. #CovidIsntOver

@ThisThingBlog These are absolutely fantastic. I hate that that happened to you, I’m really sorry. Your work is brilliant and people should be able to see and purchase it without risk of that. It totally deserves to be seen!

@getacluekid Thank you! Was a scary experience but unfortunately something that’s happening to most small businesses these days. We continue on!

@stopizz Do you have a different brand you prefer? I always found FF worked for me before my most recent infection but am going to have to find something else now

@ThisThingBlog No already before, the tests were crooked all the time. I also heard it from someone else.

@ThisThingBlog I had to toss out flow flex for that reason, they were easily false-positive and I can't deal with the stress :)
