Does anyone know anyone or have any experience with chronic fatigue syndrome? I feel like it just has such a negative connotation from everyone I’ve mentioned it to. People will be like, “I’m always tired too,” or “we all get tired,” which I think is so wrong. Curious to hear what you all think.

@zachary-pottle @dori-smith Fellow ME sufferer here! The name CFS is such a damaging term. A great site, though no longer updated (unfortunately the woman who ran it passed away from ME quite a few years ago) – is HFME.org. Even though it was written a decade ago, there are so many helpful & educational articles and I could relate to so much of…Read More

@brynsmommy38 Do you by any chance have a hypermobility syndrome of sorts? POTS and CFS typically goes along with Marfans, EDS etc.. As far as I know there is no specific testing for CFS, just the totality of other testing, diagnostic criteria, sleep studies etc. I’d simply ask my doctor flat out if it’s a possibility because of.. XYZ…Read More

All I do is smoke some really good Indica. I can’t take Melatonin as it does nothing for me. Maybe you can look into valerian root, lemon balm, or passion flower, as well.

I so believe animals can help heal. I went out to get the mail about 12 yrs ago while going through interferon treatments which is a form of chemo and in the middle of the street was a dog sitting there watching me. He was skinny and had a few wounds so I called him over and he came. While I was petting him he had the biggest smile on his face.…Read More

Well, this is different! Does anyone have any thoughts on this? COVID’s been around too long, I’m happy to see any progress towards eradicating it.
