Cheers! Funnily enough, I was diagnosed w/dysfunctional breathing in 2019 (which I disagreed with!), then had over a year's worth of respiratory physio from a lovely person who just couldn't wrap their head around ME/PEM.

But Binita knows LC/ME, so I'll check this out, nothing to lose! Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hope I can manage it soon! Just having a bit of an enforced break at the moment due to health crap but good to see more ME people moving over here too.

They're both usually pretty unpleasant people, Madeley in particular but this was surprisingly good segment (if you ignore the regular interruptions toward the end).

There's tons more, but I think these few steps will get you up and enjoying it quickly.

Nah, reluctant to sign up for that one given it's so closely linked to the other rich fella. Will just stand in the corner and see how it all goes over the next few months.

Suspended from Twitter (for saying that a person could choke on a glass of water with 6g of salt in ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ) so milling around Bluesky properly for the first time.

Definitely seems to have a different energy here. The lack of toxicity is... refreshing. It's like a strange new world..
