Crash Support Priorities
The order of things on the days when choosing is barely possible.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
When everything is too much, the list of concerns shrinks to four: comfort, fluids, safety, one message. This page holds those four, in order, with nothing else asked of you.
First things
COMFORT
FLUIDS
SAFETY
ONE MESSAGE
Comfort
- Lying down
- Low light
- Quiet
- Right temperature
Fluids
- Water within one-hand reach
- Sipped often — small, repeat
Safety
- Medication that must not be missed, within reach
- Phone within reach
- Someone who knows the situation
One message — needs saying once
I'M IN A FLARE — I CAN'T REPLY FOR A WHILE
CAN YOU TELL PEOPLE FOR ME?
PLEASE HANDLE WHAT NEEDS HANDLING
Everything else is either helpful or can wait — and 'can wait' is where it all goes, without exception, until this passes.
New, severe or significantly different symptoms may need medical assessment — reaching out for that is accurate, not dramatic.
