Dr. Fridbjörn Sigurdsson was a medical oncologist before focusing on ME/CFS. During the 2025 Invest in ME conference, he said:
"What I have learned is that most of the patients that I have seen with ME are so much sicker than my cancer patients."

This latest COVID booster is kicking my butt. Hardly any reaction to the past vaccinations but this one has caused a fever, sore arm, headache and sore joints. At least I know my body is creating an immune response & that’s a good thing.

Many demonstrations took place across Europe to protest Israel’s interception, detention & deportation of flotilla participants who were trying to get much needed aid to Gaza. Look at how Italy responded. This is what Americans need to do to block Trump’s militarization of their cities.

This. Read the article by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social it is wide angle, big picture, thought-provoking, critical reading for anyone who’s still trying to “understand” what’s happening all around us (in the US). www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

I took Tylenol while pregnant with all 3 of my children & not one has autism. I have a degree in nursing. I know how to pronounce acetaminophen. I know how to read research papers. I don’t take medical advice from convicted felons or men with brain worms. Thank you for your attention to this matter

When you become chronically ill, your world shrinks.
You can’t do a lot of the things you used to. People disappear. It can be an isolating existence.
That said, you learn to slow down, simplify your life & reject rampant consumerism.
These skills will be invaluable when facing what’s to come

How much better off would we be if there hadn’t been the initial droplet vs. aerosol fiasco and the subsequent resistance to improving indoor air quality?
How many lives could have been saved?
How much ongoing damage/disability avoided?
Sigh…

Is Poilievre’s costed platform best called “a wishful thinking budget” or “a creative accounting budget”? He calls for $75 billion in tax cuts but claims this drop in govt revenue will be offset by economic growth that will generate an extra $21 billion a year! During a trade war? What’s he smoking?

I’m tired of hearing Albertans complain about equalization payments & how Ottawa has pillaged their economy. 🇨🇦 built them a pipeline, Harper negotiated the current equalization formula, & 🇨🇦 taxpayers gave $ to clean up the O&G companies abandoned wells yet they still cry they’re hard done by.

“United States Judge James Boasberg has found “probable cause” to hold the White House in contempt of court, for showing “willful disregard” for his order to cease deportations”. Now let’s see if anything happens. I imagine this will be totally ignored like all the other court rulings.

Here’s a great article from The Tyee (2015) summarizing some of the cons atrocities that they enacted on our veterans. Never forget or forgive what they did to them, it was/is beyond disgraceful, disrespectful, and unforgivable.

I’m becoming increasingly worried about my son & daughter-in-law returning to Canada for a visit this summer. Despite having a green card, an American wife, a job & no criminal record, his legal status doesn’t seem to matter. They could refuse to let him back into the US.This shouldn’t be happening
