Dianna decided to shave her head to make it easier on herself for her journey with long COVID and ME/CFS. Many people struggling with this disease choose to do this if bed-bound for extended periods of time, like Dianna has been. Hopefully she can avoid crashes, and reduce the amount of energy it takes to wash and maintain her hair every week. Millions of people are suffering from this quiet and deadly disease. #MECFS #longcovid
Sitting in the living room. I had no idea when I’d get back to this point. I’m finally getting better. It feels relieving in a way I can’t describe. Also I love colorful wigs. 💜
Hello 👋 and thank you 🥹
I took a bath today!!!!! First time in a year and a half. Y’all have no idea how good warm water feels.
Merry Christmas everyone! Though Dianna is still in bed, her energy level improvements have allowed her to include more fun things in her life. She was even able to try some legitimate Thanksgiving food, and she is able to do embroidery! Dianna says Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone for all the support. When she is not doing embroidery, she has time for playing some Zelda, and listening to a little music. These are things she could not do even just 6 months ago. Thank you all! #MECFS #chronicfatigue #longcovid

My friend @simonegiertz visited me. It was glorious. 🥰
One of my diseases is MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) where mast cells, that are supposed to alert your immune system there’s something harmful in your body, react to something benign. It makes my cheeks (mostly the right one) flush red. Plus makes me dizzy, nauseous, and exhausted. In this case it was probably the hypoallergenic unscented soap I used on my face. 🫠 #longcovid #mcas #mecfs

This is my 3rd Halloween with #mecfs , and my 2nd completely bedbound. It’s the scariest experience of my life. Can @jonstewartdaily or @lastweektonight help ME? #johnvsjonvsme #greatestmedicalscandal This Halloween I can’t dress up, so I’m taking part in this international MEme-ference. People around the world are posting MEmes to bring awareness and get Jon or John to talk about ME (ME/CFS). A throw back to last Halloween when I had the energy to celebrate 😔 Check out @johnvsjonvsme to learn more

FRAUD ALERT ‼️ We have contacted facebook and are working to resolve this ASAP. They sometimes operate with the email [email protected]. This is NOT Dianna’s email. They use a doctored photo of a drivers license to convince people it’s her – this is not Dianna’s license. Thank you all for your incredible support and understanding. These are the only official pages we use to facilitate support for Dianna: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/physicsgirl GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/medical-bills-for-dianna-cowern
In one week Dianna is live-streaming a full day of her life to share what the experience is like for someone suffering from ME/CFS. Dianna and Kyle are raising money to support research and clinical trials for long COVID. The live stream will take place Saturday, July 6th 2024, from 6:45 AM(PT) to 6:00 PM(PT). The live stream will consist of seeing Dianna, and what she does every day as a person with long COVID, interspersed with QnA’s for the audience to ask anything they want, and a series of interviews with experts in the industry helping us all better understand the disease. We hope you join and help us raise awareness for those suffering from this disease. More details to come. #longcovid #MECFS
