This is messy, but I am putting it out there!

In case you don't want to respond here, feel free to email me at dr.cat.hicks at gmail with LET'S DO SCIENCE as the subject line.

💙 It's May 12th, International ME/CFS Awareness Day 💙

Also called World M.E. Day!

🧵 This thread talks about 4 things:

1. My ME/CFS story (brief)

2. Facts about ME/CFS and Long Covid

Other actions (re: #Medicaid) are for US residents only.
