17yrs ago yesterday I got sick, and, I didn’t get better.

I was 14, healthy, active (as you can see bottom left, 3rd down on right, and mid-left are all pre illness).

Everything has been stripped away bit by bit, no matter what I’ve tried.

But, we make the most of whatever we have, however we can

Quote from  National Coalition on Accessible Voting: Federal laws require every part of the voting process to be accessible for disabled voters, from registering to vote to casting a ballot. The new barriers in these bills – limiting vote by mail, criminalizing some voter assistance, and adding burdensome voter registration practices – undermine accessibility, disenfranchise eligible voters, and weaken the foundation of our democracy."
Text encourages contacting Congress against SAVE Act.

The SAVE America Act was passed by the House yesterday. Next it will go to the Senate. Call or email your senator now if able. The National Coalition on Accessible Voting statement, plain language summary, & link to action is here: https://ncavote.org/resource/nosaveact/

Contact Congress! ncavote.org/resource/nos...

From the National Coalition on Accessible Voting:
Disability & civil rights organizations are calling on Congress to stand against the SAVE Act, SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act. These bills will make it much harder for people with disabilities to vote.

Telehealth flexibilities for Medicare are extended until Dec. 31, 2027. As many of you were able to express to elected officials, telemedicine is a crucial service for our community.

We will continue to advocate to make telehealth expansions PERMANENT! www.meaction.net/post/more-gr...

We have heard so many stories of why telemedicine matters to you personally, and we are thrilled that this has extended.

Thank you again for taking action! Let’s celebrate this key win and keep doing the work together!

The clock is ticking. The NIH now has 180 days to develop an implementation plan for the ME/CFS Research Roadmap. In 6 months, we SHOULD have a plan to implement the NIH’s roadmap for biomarkers, treatments & clinical trials.
