@jenbrea Look for A2 milk.

Anyone know how to get European-style milk in America? pedramshojai.medium.com/why-dont-europ… (I fall into the category of can’t tolerate US milk, but milk in Europe does me just fine.)

@J_E_Barnard @DiaryofaSickGrl I’ve had so many editors and writing teachers say something to the effect of “nobody cares about a woman entrepreneur who’s life capacity was cut in half by a disease”

@DiaryofaSickGrl So much this! When my GP read my crime novel with the ME character, she said she now understood my daily struggles better. Yet my editors had demanded I rewrite that character to struggle much less (although I'd made her better functioning than I was).

I think what some people don’t understand about chronic illness for me is that ever since getting “the big sick” I do not have healthy/good days EVER! I have better and worse days but my illnesses affect me EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life. Likely for the rest of my life. This is not

If you think I talk about it a lot (IRL), it’s often out of necessity. I don’t bring it up to be annoying or make excuses. This is my reality.

#MEAction volunteers and staff just met with the CDC! There is much to report, but now we will rest. We prepped so hard to make this meeting as productive as possible and it paid off! The meeting was productive, with more follow up engagement to come. #CDC #mecfs #COVID19 💪✌️

Is Amazon down rn? I’ve never seen this before.

In our 30s, Mark and I both contracted a bad virus. We both recovered, but not completely. He was left with Type 1 Diabetes, I with ME. Please bear in mind that while you might not die of COVID-19, it might damage your health for the rest of your life. meaction.net/2020/05/10/res…

@jenbrea This does the best job I’ve seen attempting a scientific model re: mask wearing “COVID-19: WHY WE SHOULD ALL WEAR MASKS  — THERE IS NEW SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE” by Sui Huang link.medium.com/4BtijyhDJ5
