Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

Why does the songbird sing?
Why does the autistic overshare?
Why does the Black woman write at all?
Because silence was never safety.
Because our truths were always seen as threats.
Because to write is to outlive what tried to bury us.
To name what was done. To hold memory.

Why Writing Is Power Even When You Don’t Have the Words for the Feelings (Alexithymia)
As a survivor and autistic woman with alexithymia, I learned that facts can speak when feelings can’t. This is recordkeeping. This is clarity. This is for anyone who was silenced or told to forget.

Definitely feeling like I’m seeing more research on ME/CFS than ever before.
In 2024 there was an average of 56 papers published per month for “chronic fatigue syndrome” [based on PubMed].
In the two months of 2025 so far there have been 143, which is 71.5 per month.

During an allergic response, some immune cells digest others
Mast cells lure and trap other immune cells during allergic reactions, using their compounds to increase inflammation in a process dubbed nexocytosis

Lubriderm is too liquidy. You need to apply something more greasy that is white petrolatum based (Vaseline). Also I would also apply a high potency topical steroid and mupirocin to any open wounds. At night, apply Vaseline and put on white cotton gloves.
