Your usual reminder that CBT has *never* been shown to improve *actual physical symptoms* in #MECFS patients.
Self-reported well-being is often higher after CBT; but that's what CBT does -- it gets people to look at things more positively.
Actual strength, endurance, mobility etc all UNAFFECTED

Wear a mask in public because chronic illness is exhausting and expensive and if you can avoid it by doing something so minor and unobtrusive, you might as well.
Can we have an advice thread? It doesn’t have to be good advice.

There is never money for people drowning in student debt, can't afford housing, or are having to crowdfund their medical bills. But there is always money for war.
