Be the one who makes them change- file a formal complaint- Attny General etc. No way should any medical establishment have such a negative view from the general public. Sorry you are going through this 🙁

It’s tough, @glockdeadgorgeous because everyone just deals with everything differently. I know the ‘fake it til you make it’ mindset works for some folks, but that just is not applicable to everyone. ESPECIALLY when it comes to chronic pain and illness. Hugs to you.

    @glockdeadgorgeous That is heartbreaking to hear– I am so sorry. People tend to like to cling to their previous perceptions of people for their comfort and convenience, even when it ends up hurting someone. I think this is why it is so important for those of us who experience chronic pain/illness to have our tribe of those who *truly*…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.

Antibodies Identified May Make Coronavirus Vaccines Unnecessary - PR

I LOVE ASMR! I’ve had trouble sleeping since having kids– I guess my body just doesn’t want to fall soundly asleep in the event I am needed. After using white noise for years, I found ASMR. I’ve been listening to it to fall asleep now for a couple of years– there’s a YouTuber named ASMR Darling and her stuff knocks me right out, every time.
