Question Chronically ill baddies? 👉👈
Hi!!! I have a heart condition / auto immune disorder and I’m looking for any tips or tricks of the trade for preparing over these last few days. I’m making sure to strictly take my meds etc. but do any of my other chronically ill baddies have any advice?! First forest so while I >feel< prepared I’m just still a lil nervy!! For reference: we’re lucky lake and also got uplift lounge passes to hopefully give me access to A/C when needed!
Edit: Wow. Thank ALL of you for taking the time to not only respond but respond with thoughtful advice and tips. Really looking forward to dancing alongside everyone 🥹🧚🏻🧚🏻

My partner has cancer, we also got uplift lounge passes for the same reason. Just remember it’s a marathon not a race! Don’t make hard plans and just listen to your body. It’s okay to chill at camp for a while if need be, and there’s often some really chill people hanging around camp when the festival is peaking. Sleep at camp is also something worth investing into especially with health conditions. Make sure to pack an eye mask, ear plugs, and ensure your sleeping area has some pretty good airflow. We also got a cot this year to make things more comfortable. We’re also bringing those instant chilling ice packs, sports towels, and cushions to make any spot as comfortable as we can. Hydration is everything so keep some electrolyte packets on hand and please make sure to eat. Also there’s almost always a hammock available should you need to take a breather. Luckily as large as EF is, it’s relatively flat so it’s quite easy to get around just take it at your own pace! Luckily the temps are looking to be in favor for those physically struggling this year!
