It was sad when the Physics Girl took Shell's money to shill hydrogen fuel cells.
I get you need to eat but still....a very shitty move.
I can't even come close to imagining her medical bills, can you?
Is she "ok" now? The last I knew she was completely incapacitated and couldn't get out of bed. One hell of "long covid" case... :(
That video is a really hard watch. If you’ve ever been in either of their positions taking care of a family member full time or relying on someone, you know the tremendous amount of love involved in it. Usually you see it as an afterthought, but what was amazing about Destin’s video is seeing it happen in real time.
I have one of the conditions some doctors suspect is the root cause of long COVID, mast cell activation disorder, and it absolutely sucks ass if it's uncontrolled. It can make for some amazing naps, but they get old when it's all you can do.
I'm fine'ish now, although I guzzle the contents of a small pharmacy every month.
Her Instagram is kept fairly up to date. She is still confined to a bed, and it sounds like she still requires round-the-clock care. Her partner and family are absolute heroes.
She can't even make videos in her current state. This was done well before then. The fact that she is able to have the medical care she has now is a sign she didn't need that money though. She was obviously making enough from other more ethical sources. Now if she made that, I could excuse it, but it wasn't done now.
That said, her medical bills shouldn't be an issue for anyone. There are people out there in the same state but with much less support. They shouldn't have to suffer even more because they can't afford it.
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.
Oh, also, psychadelics can be enjoyed while you sleep. Some of them.
The videos were made before she got long covid. I don't know how well she's doing now. My only updates about her are from the host of veritasium and only when I go looking for his videos.
Destin from Smarter Every Day visited them. https://youtu.be/xbcjf-hrOAs?feature=shared
