For context, I believe it is important for you to know that I am a Biotechnology Engineer and a Master of Science in Neurobiology. I also have a rare #epilepsy which presents itself as #dysautonomia, which is not common…
I've summarized the guidelines here👇
#MECFS never gets easier to accept.
Every Fall/Winter my health declines significantly. In the Spring/Summer, my health improves a bit.
Each year though, my overall baseline declines.
It feels like dying slowly and painfully. Never knowing when your body will just quit.

And no. I’m not depressed or anxious. (Though it would certainly be understandable if I was.)
In fact, I continue to be in awe of myself and my community’s emotional strength in the face of this relentless physical suffering.

Any one of the typical #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis symptoms, turned up to an 8/10 intensity, would be difficult to live with after awhile. It would wear you down.
By the time you get to 3-4 of these symptoms, it’s debilitating.
Imagine getting to 100-200 daily symptoms.

🧵 It’s #DisabilityPrideMonth and we’re seeing another wave of COVID globally, so here’s a list of reasons why you should watch the Netflix documentary ‘Unrest’ and educate yourself on #MECFS and #LongCovid

part 5: after a bit of work I was able to transfer my perscription to a Walmart in another town. I know if I stayed with @Walgreens I would continue to have late meds, get excuses, and have my health decline. I knew id continue to go to the ER [high risk during covid] due to this
part 4: they are still messing up! they deleted my other perscription thinking it was a duplicate [it wasnt] and now 9 days after my original order & blaming everything on the supplier decided to change supplies and say it will come Monday. its a bit late now isnt it?
part 3: update on my @Walgreens problem a med that I need daily to stay out of the hospital has been ordered every day since last Friday. they told us theyd call with news & never did multiple times. never accepted responsibility either
An interesting inquiry: what is primary and what is secondary? t.co/BJIYB1bWvT
The question is whether the primary etiology of hypermobility of soft tissues is ineffective nutrition having been used. Also, could improper nutrition be a co-factor in development of hypermobile tissues?
