    wow thank you, i didn't know that ! I think i gave myself gerd just because of that, taking calcium only for a longer period of time. I will look at my magnesium dose. I knew that lack of calcium makes your muscles go stiff and articulations (i experienced it) but didn't know that calcium alone without magnesium can constrict too. thank you very much for your valuable info ! Girls, if you have clear instructions to take any type of pills - do it ! Don't fuck it up like i did ugh.

    just posting this to see if anyone else has problems like me and i want to feel less alone:

    does anyone here have chronic pain? i've been going to my doctor after getting healthcare for the first time in years. they've been doing tests and my dr is saying i have some kind of autoimmune prob like lupus, RA, or something else that's causing my pain + other symptoms. i'm still getting more blood tests done to get diagnosed. i take kratom and CBD when i can afford either and that helps me be able to get up and do stuff. i haven't worked in over a year (besides fast food which lasted 1 night lmfao cause it hut too much) cause of this pain and other life stuff. i'm still figuring this out. i'm only 22 and experiencing a lot of medical issues more and more.

    last night was my first shift on streamate and i only lasted 2 hrs. that's ok cause i expected it. i figured out that i don't think i can offer anal because i had problems bending to do that and it was just a lot of my back (where a lot of my pain is). i might try stretching and maybe that will help... idk. it was really embarrassing cause i thought i wouldn't have a prob bending and doing it, but i was struggling and the guy ended up leaving rlly fast anyway bc i felt all flustered in exclusive.

    also does anyone else have issues sticking to a schedule? how do you get around that? i never know how i'm going to physically feel on any day, but i also want to have a set schedule so guys will be able to find me easily. seems so hard rn but i'm going to keep pushing and put in at least an hr tonight at around the same time as yesterday. slow and steady might be how i need to go for now.

    thanks for listening !!

    Damn inflammations in my body keep acting up, the holidays Ive been eating a lot of crap and now my body needs to heal again
    Back on a strict anti-inflammatory diet since 3 days

    I should take my diagnose of Ankylosing Spondylitis more seriously this year, and quit wanting to eat what healthy people eat bec that aint working for my body

    I def do not want to end up with fused bones, so I gotta take care of myself, which is kinda difficult at times (i am better at taking care of others)


    I need to get myself outof this funk, shape up and do my normal stuff even though I am in pain
    I got myself into this mess and I know I can get myself out of it because I did it before
    Just hitting a breakingpoint today bec I do not know how long it will take before I can undo the harm I have done to my body & feeling stupid for not realising that it was not a flu that kept coming back but that I was exp fever fro inflammations, so right now I feel like I have been messing up my body for weeks on end hitting it towardcs needing medication daily again and non stop pain

    Gotta remember next time when I want to cheat on my diet that it is not just a lillt snack or little treat, it can mess me up for weeks so not months and seriously damage my health.

    so i just started camming again and i've only been able to put in an hr here or an hr there bc of my health issues. i've been using cams and it's sooo slow. i've only been able to work 4.9 hrs this last week split over a few days and i've made $33. :/ is this what i can expect from not being able to put in a lot of hours or should i switch sites? figured everyone in this thread would get not being able to put in a lot of hrs. i haven't rlly been feeling great but i'm still trying. idk feeling sad. i could only put in 25 mins last night and had to log off cause i kept yawning bc of my meds. zonked out for 5 hrs after that. didn't make anything.

    I can’t cam much either due to various things, my saving grace is /more eggs/, clips are passive income, split camming, texting, phone chat

    Good luck!

    IMO online sex work is still the best occupation for disabled people, but you have to assess what your body needs and plan your types of work accordingly. The key point is, it's not about how many hours you sit out on cam; it's about how many hours of entertainment you can sell. These could be live cam hours, phone chat hours, or cumulative hours from lots of people watching your recorded content. You just need to figure out how to arrange your working life so you can create and sell enough entertainment working with the time and energy that you do have.

    Camming on a freechat-based site is taxing, but it's also still the fastest way to make money. You'd probably do better on Streamate than Cams - it's still the place with the most traffic, glitches or no glitches. If you can, try to sell fetish and domme shows - talking and teasing is much less exhausting than writhing in a sexy manner. Set the broadcaster to record your shows; you can turn them into clips later.

    With that said, during slow times like now exhausting yourself in freechat is a very poor use of your time. Able-bodied girls have the luxury of wasting their energy like that, because they can rely on being able to do it again tomorrow. If you're not sure you'll be able to work tomorrow, using your time today to best effect is crucial. What that means for you is hard to say without knowing your circumstances, but it could be throwing 80% of your energy into clips and only logging into freechat during the few days around payday, or it could be learning to splitcam several freechats, or it could be going indy.

    If you don't have many other demands on your time when you're off cam, register for phone sites, and just leave them on whenever you're not sleeping. Phone money doesn't come as fast as cam money, but once you build up regulars, waiting for them to call you is a lot less tiring than sitting in free chat waiting for your cam regulars to get a show. Personally, this is what saves my ass, as I find clips too taxing to make, but it might be different for you and you rock the video hustle, so try and see.

    Clips or audio files - the income builds up very slowly, but if you allocate an hour of your time to create a clip, and build up to a library of work you like, not only do they bring you passive income, but you can also use them to advertise custom clips, which do pay very nicely.

    It's super unfair that we sick girls can't rely on the good old ass-in-chair method to grow our income, but there's still ways and means. You got this. *fistbump*

    thank you SO much! i switched over to streamate and i HAVE been doing a lot better. i have cams as a back up site for when streamate gets slow, but streamate is my #1 right now. i switched over to daily pay too since i needed to get access to my money asap in case i ran out of meds, supplements (i use a few that help and i rely on), or something like that.

    i'm working on slowly clips and phone sites right now. i've been taking it slow as to avoid burn out at all costs (has been working too). so far i've been good at juggling the additions since i don't waste my time on cam when it's slow.

    and yea, camming has been the best job i've been able to do as a disabled person! it's so empowering to me to be able to make money and take care of myself instead of rely on my parents / friends as much.

    thank you so much for the advice

    i've found i've been able to consistently be on cam for at least an hour more often now that i switched to streamate since it does have more traffic. my hourly rate has gone up a lot and that is really important since, yea, i can't sit on cam for hours at a time.

    skype has been saving me and really helping. i absolutely love doing skype shows!

    Hi, i was wondering if anyone had some tips on how you cope with camming with a chronic illness? i have severe....extreme...chronic fatigue syndrome and i cannot take stimulants. so with that being said i am very limited to camming about four hours but even then i am exhausted. do u recomend i split shifts? what works for u when u have zero energy to cam? i need to make hours yet physically my body disagrees. i don't have the energy for clips as my fan base SUCKS and doesn't buy anything. i do cam part time and pso fulltime but i just wish i could make cam work for me.

    I'm dealing with possible endometriosis (won't be officially diagnosed until my appt. next month, but my periods literally make me pass out from the pain and it runs in my family), so I can definitely relate to not being able to do ANYTHING. I'm just starting out with clips, so I can't say my fanbase sucks 'cause I don't really have one yet LOL but the few I've made have all been purchased at least once, so that gives me hope. But I usually end up putting off filming until my cycle comes around and it's too late lol. :p

    To answer your question though, indy camming has been a GODSEND for me, which is also why this Skype nonsense is killing me inside lmao. I didn't really give it a fair shot initially because I realize how much "easier" it can be to make money on a free chat site, but it's the only thing that's been keeping me from exhausting myself while still making pretty good money. Establishing regulars is very important, obviously. I do a fair amount of my own marketing and I bid on NF regularly, but even with the extra self promo, it's worth it for me.

    thank you Corie, i have stage 4 endometrioses and fibroids too! I know that struggle and the pain is unbearable. I do indie camming as much as i can but i am only on twitter so i don't have a big following for my indie shows yet. I am on SM but the money there is crap right now. I wish i could build on indie more but not really sure how to go about it. I am not sure if my severe fatigue is from my endometrioses or not but some days it is so hard to just cam for 4 hours. and i need to do that minimum. ugh the struggle is real.

    It's been a rough month for me. Was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia earlier in the month after 4 months of steadily being in more and more pain all over my body. Some days are fine, others I'm in too much pain to even sit on my damn couch. The constant exhaustion/brain fog on top of it is almost more than I can handle some days. To top it off, I changed birth control methods and anxiety meds, so I've been spotting non-stop for 4 weeks (so my camming has been even more limited) & back to being horrendously panic stricken while waiting for my body to adjust to these meds (if it does at all). At this point I'm just so overwhelmed by everything.

    I'm so sorry to hear that, this pain is miserable and finding doctors who actually know what to do about it is even worse, at least where I'm at. Definitely sending sympathies to you, girl. </3

    Tbh I only have under 200 followers on Twitter and really only one confirmed custie who found me from there -- I know you mentioned that you do PSO (another godsend for me on those days where I just cannot do two hours of makeup lol), do you use NiteFlirt at all? Bidding has been my savior on there. I admittedly bid up the ass at first, but then I keep pushing ratings and feedback and I'm pretty sure that helps my LVS to keep my ranking higher for a lot less. I got really lucky and got a 9.99/min. call last week that boosted my rating points a TON so I didn't have to pay anything at all to be on page one and that got me a ton of free exposure. I'm honestly still getting the hang of promoting my indy sites on Twitter, but bidding has been the easiest way for me to get new callers, so if you use NF for indy, I highly recommend trying that.

    Hi! I also have endo and trust me, getting diagnosed, having the laparoscopy and getting on birth control/hormones is going to change your life. I still have pain some times (especially if I forget to take medicine) so I just take it slow and give myself as many breaks as I need. (even once an hour if I need to) Clips and texting have also helped when I can't be on cam for long, I focus on getting at least one new clip out every week.

    Can I make a suggestion? I got tboned by a semi a few years ago and have some chronic pain from it. What has REALLY helped non-medically is massage and yoga. Medically, neurontin really makes it go away so I can function and have a great quality of life. If I were you, I'd ask your doc about it. I'm not sure what state you're in; it may be a scheduled drug where you are vs. where I am, but I've never seen anyone be turned down for it. Also, kava is great for pain, as it really relaxes your muscles and, while the pain is still there, it becomes more a a relaxed and just the tiniest bit achy feeling. The only thing is, it can cause liver issues; they recommend getting a liver test every four months when on it. Best of luck, I know pain sucks, but there are resources out there to minimize it and allow you to have a great quality of life. Best wishes to you

    I recommend you get your thyroid tested. A slow thyroid can cause major fatigue; it isn't your fault. Since you dislike stimulants, all I can really recommend is B12; preferably as an injection in a doctors' office. I've driven people to get it and they've said it's a night and day difference from how they felt before getting it.

    I will definitely back this up! B12 has worked WONDERS for me in regards to energy levels! The first few times I took it I felt a little shaky but that wore off and now the only thing I notice is more energy and a great appetite!

    ^Most docs are more than willing to do the injection asap; not sure if insurance covers it. I payed cash; it was very reasonable and worth it.

    My most serious illnesses are Major Depression Disorder w/ OCD features and ADHD. I would not be able to function in any job, if I did not take an SSRI daily.
    Then I also have a metabolic syndrome which causes cysts on my ovaries, and I also have tumors in my uterus, which make my periods VERY painful. I might be getting those removed soon though, fingers crossed, I had a very, very difficult pregnancy and birth due to them. I also have chronic anemia.

    Overall depression and anxiety are my biggest block though. Difficult periods are never fun in this line of work though..or any I guess Recently I have had a lot of back problems, but they are due to bigger breasts (nursing), as well as not stretching enough on camming breaks. So I don't really count the back issues, because I can make them tolerable, without any kind of medical treatment. I am only 37. I have been doing very well recently though. Anxiety can be really difficult to break through sometimes.

    I feel you all! Hugs. Wishing everyone prosperity and comfort.

    I feel for you ladies, i had a total hysterectomy last year cause of endometrial hyperplasia, i had severe bleeding for the last 2-3 years with anemia and lots of pain, nothing was working anymore as treatment so i got a biopsy done and went for surgery, i am all good now and very happy for no more periods, thank God for this!!

    I also have autoimmune tyro and take pills for it.
    My biggest challenge is the back pain, this is difficult to handle and cant work a vanilla job anymore as i planned (wanted to retire from camming), i cant stand or sit for too long therefore not possible to get a regular job but cam at home for as long as i can handle.
    Pain killers affected my stomach so i try to manage back pain w.o pills.

    I have fatigue episodes now and then and for some reason prolactin levels are higher than normal so i'll get a MRI to see if there is a prolactinoma on my pituitary gland, will see about this end of august when i have the appointment.
    I have some other health issues but are minor compared to what i typed in here.
    Yes some of us really deal with health issues of wide range and we can only cam, no vanilla jobs possible (not anymore for some).
    We need to be brave and carry on, wish u all good health and all the best!

    my period is freaking destroying me every month. im recovering from some hectic garbage from last year and pms keeps sending me straight back there for at least a week and a half at a time and i keep taking my meds erratically during that time making it harder to bounce back and my sleep schedule is ALL over the place. how tf do i make a schedule if i can't count on myself to be awake at any given time ever?

    I need to vent about what's going on with me and how it effects my work.

    I'm writing this here as I'm hoping someone on here might understand what is going on with me. I have spoken to my partner, friends and family but the problem is that they don't get it. It's not their fault and they do try their best. But how can someone who has never had to deal with mental issues like mine ever be able to really get what's going on. How can anyone who has never worked in the adult industry understand what is involved? I think they think that its just a lazy way of making money.

    It started when I was 13. Because of it I went through what I now find out was a phsycotic episode. It was hell and it was lonely. I was only a teenager and I didnt understand what was happenning. I still can't forgive myself for some of the things I did and believed during that time. I have tried many times to piece togather what happenned back then and I still cant. I have a large amount of time missing and other things just don't make sense. It's like trying to out a jigsaw puzzle togather where a bunch of the pieces are missing and a load of pieces don't fit.

    I was lucky to escape it without the proper help. In fact strangely enough, it was sex work and running away from home that saved me. Which I still don't entirely understand.

    I have now got to a place where I don't drink myself into a stupor most nights which is obviously a good thing. But I am still left with this.

    I am now pretty sure that I am bipolar. I have done alot of research and have been keeping a mood diary that has helped me to actually see what is going on. Bipolar fits and makes sense. I know that self diagnosing is not a great idea but I have to know what I am fighting. I can't wait years until I get a diagnosis. By that time anything could have happenned.

    A few months back I went through the longest of depressive episodes that I ever gone through. Usually they will last anywhere from 6 weeks to a few months. This one lasted over 6 months. I am still trying to recover from it.

    3 weeks ago I was on top of the world. For any of you Harry potter fans out there, I felt exactly like how Harry felt when he took the luck potion. It was epic! I have now come to realise that that was my hypomanic episode. I am lucky that I don't have bad manic episode, in fact my hypomanic episodes I get is more like having a break from the hell that goes on inside of me. All of the sudden one day I woke up (after having the best day ever) in what I now understand is a mixed episode. It was like someone had flipped a switch in the night. Its like having the energy of the hypomania but with what I can only describe as the grief of just learning a loved one died. Pent up, anxious, angry, sad, bursting at the seams while feeling like I'm being hunted by something.It is intense and by far the worst of the episodes. It lasted about 6 days. After that I went through about a week and a half of partly feeling as though I am grieving but mostly blank. I was not in my body. I have now found out from my therapist that this is called dissociation. After that, and up until now, I am feeling low with that grieving type pain. Sometimes I'll be happy but the grieving type pain is in the back ground.

    I know that just round the corner is the next depressive episode. I don't know when the big drop is going to come and I don't know how long this one will go on for. These are the episodes that are the worst when it comes to work.

    I am currently in the rare spot where I can work. The bit just before the big drop comes. It is here in this spot that I have to scramble to make as much money as possible before it hits.

    Camming is not what is was once like. Back in the day ,during my first couple of years camming, I could log in for 3 hours and make £100 no problem. It was easy to make up the money ready for the next episode. It is completely different now days. It takes so much more time and energy. It requires consistency. I have little energy which is exacerbated by an eating problem, and I can't be consistent due to my mood swings.

    I am good at what I do! I know that. I have so many great ideas, I am a very creative person. I know what to do, I know how to do it, I just don't have the energy nor consistency for it.

    I don't know how much longer I can keep on doing this. This all started when I was 13. I am now 31. Getting a diagnosis and then getting the correct meds and therapy is going to take years.

    I've lost most of my friends, I'm distant from my family and I even worry if I might one day lose my partner because of this.

    I could be so much more than this. I just can't quite get there.

    Sorry for the essay. I just needed to vent. To get it out there. Maybe there might be others out there that are going through or have gone through the same thing.

    Have you been properly diagnosed by a psychiatrist? People with Bi-Polar can do very well on medication but it wont fix itself. It shouldnt take years to get diagnosed and the very first visit they should be able to tell. As soon as youre diagnosed you get a script for medication. A lot of us on here have mental illnesses and takes meds for it
