I can so relate to this.

Last night we went to concert 1 of 2 while we’re visiting London this week.

Michael and I and his latest woodcarving project.

So happy to visit my son who is going to school in Freiburg. He recently finished his first semester working towards becoming a journeyman wood carver. We got a tour of the school and it’s really impressive.

Stop calling it polarisation. The world may be divided, but it’s not a “shame” when it’s a reflection of values.

When some think lying is okay and others don’t, that’s not just a divide; it’s a moral line. Certain truths should be universal. Let’s start there.

A total of zero votes were cast for the guy currently running America.

Guy's been in office less than a month and already he's opening his first Concentration Camp.

Take that, German Efficiency.

Health Rising - Finding Answers for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Health Rising provides the latest treatment and research information for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)

I know that I’ll never fully recover, I’m just glad to still be able to work. It’s not one medication. We’ve been trying different combinations for a couple of years. For people looking for research on meds to bring to their doctors, I recommend www.healthrising.org

I just hope it doesn’t get taken away from me again because some @$$hole has appointed a f*cking idiot to run HHS and a bunch of cowards in the senate will probably confirm him.

I’m thankful that I was able to get vaccinated (and boosted multiple times). That probably prevented an even greater impact on my health.
I’m now cautiously optimistic that we’ve found a combination of medications and supplements that have given me back some of my ability to function.

Then I had to go back into the office and within a short time, I got COVID and my health got worse again. The second time I got COVID this past fall set me back even more and I had almost given up hope of ever feeling anywhere close to normal ever again.

Almost 14 years later, I finally found doctors who did take me seriously and who have followed the (minimal) research that had been done. One of the first things I was told was to cut out caffeine since that makes my POTS worse, and I started to see some improvement in my health.

to an infectious disease specialist who gave me the initial diagnosis. At the time, even the doctors who believed that ME/CFS was a real thing (and not just in our heads) knew nothing about the condition or how to treat it and the only advice she had for me was to drink lots of coffee. 😂

I was first diagnosed with ME/CFS about 18 years ago after more than a year of feeling sick. My doctors assured me that I no longer had the virus that had initially caused my illness and after every test that they could think of came back “normal,” they referred me…
