Struggling to be average one day at a time. Sometimes I just sit and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.
Rumoured that Keir Starmer bringing another letter from King Charles, apologies he will not personally be able to host DJT state visit because of health concerns, but Prince Andrew will.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Thinking about the possibility of Zionists agreeing to, or keeping any ceasefire/peace agreement is as depressing as thinking a Chief Justice will refuse to uphold swearing in someone disqualified by 14th amendment section 3.

The future is not what it used to be. The expectations of many will disappear. How will the
‘poorly educated’, the poorly prepared, and the selfish react to materialised reality?

My first post here, so I thought I'd make it about 2 things that have shaped my life #MECFS & #photography. For the past 3 years I've been photographing other people who also have ME, & I was delighted when @wellcomecollection.bsky.social published a selection

Living with ME
Nine people with ME reveal their unremitting struggles as they negotiate life with their illness, including their battles to be believed, diagnosed and supported.

I share the feeling. I order and buy from my local bookshop. I appreciate the service provided and the human friendship.
When I buy books online it's always through B&N on IndieBound. Never Amazon. (Often less convenient or more expensive. But not that much, in either realm.)

No replacement for AMZ's total reach. Eg video. But still.

For everyone with #ME however mild or severe, for those that have died and those who care for people with ME. Also for the scientists who are working to solve the puzzle of the illness and the medical staff who care about us.

To 2025 🙏 Happy New Year.

Is focussing on everything the same as not focussing on anything? What to focus on and why a necessary step to progress. (IMHO)
Dysautonomia is just one pathway to Long C-19 Hell, Billy.

Endotheliitis and mitochondrial dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, immune dysregulation.... Shall I go on???

We need to focus on EVERYTHING..

Medics are forever going down their own rabbit holes.
“I think long COVID patients that have been suffering for so long, especially this really disabled population with dysautonomia symptoms, are very much looking forward the opportunity to participate in these trials and learn from them.”
