I never thought I'd end up with a chronic illness where the most useful health advice comes from an old Vaudeville joke:

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this!

Doctor: Then don't do that!

📣 Reminder: #MEAction is giving away 2 copies (one paperback, one audiobook) of the book "Pillow Writers Anthology 1: Near-Life Experiences"

Their "Chronically Complex" podcast has extracts from the book:

Deadline for entry is December 15, winners will be selected the next day

I can't find an announcement on the #MEAction website but here's a link to what they posted on Bluesky:

🚨 Call to action! 🚨

#MEAction has written a letter to NIH demanding full funding for the ME/CFS Research Roadmap

And they've asked folks to sign on to this letter:

From the letter:

"NIH budget for ME/CFS is $13 million for fiscal year 2024/25– the lowest in comparison to its disease burden of any disease monitored by NIH"

Even if you don't sign please boost 🙏

Thank you! ❤️
