Tenth Anniversary Kudos 5 First Reply Raiser's Edge NXT Fall 2025 Product Update Briefing Badge

Hi all! I wanted to start a conversation for those who may have very limited spoons, whatever that looks like for you. My health is very different from the last time I was at bbcon and I'm wondering if anybody has specific tips or tricks on how to manage.

For specifics, I'm dealing with RA, POTS, and long Covid.

    I wanted to follow up on this to say bbcon was really hard for me. The altitude wasn't my friend and I had considered renting a mobility scooter before the event. I really wish I had because I'm still tired and sore. So lesson learned! But I still had a great time and I really appreciated the oxygen bar and the abundance of places to refill my water bottle.

  • @Amy Dana Hi! FWIW I feel you on the altitude. I learned my lesson the last time I went to Denver and the first stop for me this time was CVS for canned oxygen. I also really appreciated the oxygen bar and the multiple hydration stations. It was great seeing you! (minus the pumpkin purse thievery!) :)
