@J_E_Barnard @DiaryofaSickGrl I’ve had so many editors and writing teachers say something to the effect of “nobody cares about a woman entrepreneur who’s life capacity was cut in half by a disease”

@NIHDirector Love that you have a band. I also would love to have the stamina to stand and perform, to have the cognitive function to learn music. Please remember when you play: millions of us cannot. #MEAction #ME #MECFS

In our 30s, Mark and I both contracted a bad virus. We both recovered, but not completely. He was left with Type 1 Diabetes, I with ME. Please bear in mind that while you might not die of COVID-19, it might damage your health for the rest of your life.

@jenbrea After 25 years of ME, 2 ways I’ve found to get doctors to listen to more than 3 symptoms: hire/cajole a DR. to write a complete medical history summary or go to a cash only practice where the intake will cost dearly. Neither necessarily helps get better treatment but costs

@jenbrea I spent the entire night trying to get to sleep. As it turned out, no mindless TV was too boring nor reading material too dense. No sleeping medication was strong enough. I would have been better off to have just gotten out of bed and worked for the 6 hours I was wide awake.
