    She’s still got an income from Patreon, though I don’t know how much it is. Also, depending on her income and savings level she could have coverage through Medicare or Medicaid. Source: I’m a young person with CFS that is on one of those two because I’m too fucked up to do anything remotely approaching work.

      For sure she’s still making some money and receiving support. Her channel has also been reuploading clips of old content as shorts. I’m certain it doesn’t keep pace with what it used to though, plus she’s got mounting bills. I’d understand if she did something desperate right now basically, but not at her peak.

      Oof. I’d offer psychadelics, seen implications they can sometimes help with that sort of thing; potentially resetting the thinky bits of the immune system and stuff, but I have no idea where you are.

        No worries, I got a great doctor that’s helping pull me out. Hydroxychloroquine is the main drug that’s helping me. I just have to stop making mistakes, which is harder than you would think. I didn’t know psychedelics acted on the immune system, I figured any help they offered would be related to the default mode network (DMN).

          Dunno, I didn’t see in depth medical shit. Was about mushrooms and cacti more than LSD, but honestly I’d advise you to just explore-it’s fun as fuck anyway.
