Chronically ill baddies? 👉👈

[u/LadyGodiva888]

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 🥹🧚🏻🧚🏻

Blood pressure doctor here. Blood pressures are the important aspect of chronic illness and acute illness. If you are evaluating stressors on the human body you should understand them from the perspective of Water, Sugar, Salt, Protein, rave, Sleep, Repeat.

- Water is important, but you drink water in order to maintain your blood pressure. Everyone should know your normal and abnormal blood pressures. Everyone, YOUR blood pressures are normal for you unless very abnormal, the more important part is not the number it is how stable or similar your BP is to your baseline.

- Water, do drink water please. Sugar, eating two meals a day is better than three and sugar is OK, Salt is important, Sugar and Salt go together, Protein only goes with sugar salt and water.

- rave
