A #dayinthelife of a #spoonie: Festive #stpatricksday with the 'rents. I can't stress how good it is to get out of the apartment, especially to spend some time with #family . Cabbage, potatoes and carrots didn't know what hit 'em. Then my #gastroparesis didn't know what hit it. 😶 . . Rockin my @moetheband #moedown themed "Vote Rex" (@rex_a_vision ) shirt and sequinned suspenders. Yes, it's my only green shirt lol. #symptoms #dysautonomia #pots #irish #primaryimmunedeficiency #mastocytosis #mastcellactivationsyndrome #dreads #raredisease #spoonielife #dreadlocks #systemicmastocytosis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #research #cure #chronicillness #curvygirl @rarediseasedayofficial @rare @rareis___ @rarediseasedayus #invisibleillness @medtronic @chronicillnesshumor (at Lake Ronkonkoma, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp84e_fN6Rs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A #dayinthelife of a #spoonie: Just some food shopping at @stopandshop to get out of the apartment and procure some #noms . I love my new shirt! It reads "Too #weird to live, too #rare to die," and it's from #fearandloathinginlasvegas in a totally #gonzo style. Took my #mask off for a quick photo. . . . #stpatricksday #symptoms #isolation #dysautonomia #pots #gastroparesis  #primaryimmunedeficiency #mastcellactivationsyndrome #dreads #raredisease #spoonielife #dreadlocks #systemicmastocytosis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #research #cure #chronicillness #curvygirl @rarediseasedayofficial @nord_rare @rare @rareis___ @rarediseasedayus #invisibleillness (at Stop & Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7_rf5u5Bo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A #dayinthelife of a #spoonie: Sometimes @stopandshop trips are the only outing we can handle; it takes a lot of #spoons out of us. But we make great #allergy friendly finds! To my fellow #zebra, make sure you wear a #mask in stores still; #covid hasn't gone anywhere.

#adayinthelife of a #spoonie : Getting ready to go out in semi-formal wear (instantly amped up by my #battlestargalactica #viper pins) for some much needed #family time celebrating birthdays and getting #hugs! I love GETTING OUT of the apartment! Going to a place that I know can eat at is #inclusive, considerate and delicious. #Spacing my ears out again because the holes were just chilling anyway. . . . #foodallergies #dysautonomia #pots #mastcellactivationsyndrome #dreads #raredisease #rarediseaseawareness #spoonielife #ehlersdanlossyndrome #chronicillness #togetherwedazzle #curvygirl Using @curaleaf.usa #THC and Lazarus #CBD to get my #gastroparesis ready for @savianosnewyork (at Saviano's Italian Restaurant & Pizza) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEiGEet5YS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#adayinthelife of a #spoonie : #ivhydration on the couch with Rooney, watching @rupaulofficial . It helps a lot with the #symptoms of #dysautonomia #pots, reducing #syncope events and reducing #tachycardia. It also keeps me out of the #hospital by getting me #hydrated when my #gastroparesis won't let me keep anything down. Staying home is also paramount regarding my #primaryimmunedeficiency and #mastcellactivationsyndrome. I love my #battlestargalactica #viper wings!!!! Look at how long my hair has gotten! I can braid my #dreads! . . .

LET'S GO TEAM #INTACTIVISTS 6 YEARS RUNNING (ROLLING)!!! . www.walkforpi.org/newyork/stacyspoonley . I know I'm annoying, BUT: did you know that your donations to a #nonprofit are tax deductible??? You'll basically get your money back if you donate to my Walk for primary #immunodeficiency disease and help make sure I get plasma every month. My life literally depends on it, and there are shortages this year because plasma is being used in #covid treatment. Every donation means research grants and studies, searching for a cure, maintaining mandatory infant SCID screenings, giving a child another chance at life, being a hero. . www.walkforpi.org/newyork/stacyspoonley . Thank you Immune Deficiency Foundation for always updating content and engagement with forums, education, and virtual support meetings.
