In a recliner by my bed.
Thx ME/CFS, Long Covid.

Following through the haze.

I used to translate complex statistics & data science into plain English.

Now I struggle to articulate simple thoughts.

Artist.

You can use hashtag #alt4me or 📸🖋️ (I believe) and folks try to help out.

I love that there are accommodations for providing accommodations.

Thank you for sharing all that you do, with limited spoons. (I was first diagnosed 1990 - so very interesting to see relics)

Oops. My bad. Maybe my brain fog. Tried to funny, badly.

I wasn’t arguing against your point.

Just expressing sadness at the likely truth of it.

And wanted to note your thoughts if I come back to read this.

Oh Boo. You bearer of bad news. 🥹🥲

📌 thoughts and article on long Covid as long infection

Thanks for sharing. It’s been almost two years since I’ve attempted anything other than a few drawings. I was moderate when I started practicing. But kept having my progress interrupted by crashes. (I thought they were menopause related.)

Love this

The article doesn’t seem clear. It seems to imply psychologists can address the fatigue.

Which is sad and dangerous given history of post viral and related diseases.

Severe and running on fumes.

Gemma was a brilliant writer and a beautiful human who tried to help any chronic illness patient who reached out

Her piece on raising kids during COVID was particularly poignant.

This article serves as a reminder not to bully our allies - she was attacked for the headline despite not choosing it:

Damn it. My kids are approaching the age I was when I was first showing signs.

I hope your knowledge and experience helps protect her as you navigate this.

Sending solidarity, Dan.

There was a post from 60 minutes Australia on FB. The number of commenters who said the alternative OUT LOUD - was mind boggling. Some w/ 7K+ likes!

Some said they’d never burden their family. & folks chimed I’m in support of assistance w/ the alternative.

I responded to as many as I could. 🥹😡

I did 21 years as a woman in tech. 1996-2017. Of all the things ME/CFS has stolen, I don’t miss the bro culture. (Or the previous regime.)

Thx for accidentally reminding me.

Omg. I thought of #Johnvsjonvsme while I was watching this.

I could hear J. Oliver’s voice throughout.

(😂 I never recall who has an “h”.)
