If you have #SevereME, like me, you are valuable however and whenever you can show up

I’ve hosted monthly support group meetings for Iowa #dysautonomia and #EDS patients for years, it takes a lot, can’t always do it, but everyone is grateful for these spaces no one else provides

Quote:

A former supervisor of mine said to me about 25 years ago: “It must be nice to be a PWD (person with disability) on assistance; you get to sit around, eat bon bons, and watch TV.”

After I took the knife out of my chest, my reply was: “No, it’s like being a very large tiger trapped in a very small cage chewing on the bars.”

"Hope is tricky business. On the one hand it keeps me alive, it fuels my tenacity, it helps me take a deep breath and do my best to understand other people’s perspective so I can better build communication bridges."

Not been on the social media much recently as between the 16 hour sleeps, I've been socialising with
@izzy on my bed instead. So glad I'm well enough to have her in here most days now, even if we still want more :) #SevereME #ChronicIllness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis

Very sad to read of this 23-year-old with severe ME, ill since age 4.

Authorities are trying to claim that improvement/recovery is possible with the right attitude! They're using this to deny an application for a disability payment. ☹️

An example of the problem biopsychosocial models for ME/CFS cause.
