< Something many people are not aware of, we ‘generally speaking’ die about 20 years earlier than the general population. I’m not sure if it is an innocent and blissful disregard or more malicious in intent, but nonetheless, it is often very demoralizing and incredibly hurtful the way people with ME/CFS are treated. So, if you are curious, read on….

This was written by a young artist with M.E./CFS and Lyme, named Elyse Kiera Hasenberg. It’s beautiful in its poignant honesty. (She kindly gave me permission to share it here). This touched my heart. I feel so strongly especially for young brave people like Elyse who are stuck down with ME/CFS. She is also an artist. I have seen her photos and poems and she is very talented. She seems like a lovely young woman who never deserved to be faced with the struggles she is faced with every day…and yet you can tell she has the spirit of a warrior: >

Me and Lucy Liu:
Question of the day: How can we, in the good ol’ U.S. of A. , be having a baby formula shortage that is causing mothers to fear and worry about whether or not they can feed their babies? How can that even happen here? (And before people argue that the moms could breast feed, there are many reasons that that doesn’t work for everyone, also, people should have a choice on that personal decision.) I breastfed, but at a certain point couldn’t keep up with ‘supply and demand’ , plus was working part time, so supplemented with formula. It is crazy to think that we as a country are adding to the stress of new moms and possibly endangering infants. Maybe instead of trying to take away womens abortion rights, (which makes my blood boil that government has ANYTHING to say on that), we should try and feed the babies who are here right now? Gee, what a concept? I mean, WTF? Shouldn’t all moms have affordable access to baby formula? Isn’t that a basic human right? Once again, thank you D.tRump for adding to yet another shitshow in your wake. (from the New york Times: “Donald Trump exacerbated the situation with a trade policy that made it harder to import formula from Canada. These policies benefit American formula makers, at the expense of families”).
In loving Memory of my dear friend Mark who lost his battle with ME/CFS a little over 2 years ago. Mark , You are dearly missed. He would have been 53 today. Yes, in some cruel and twisted irony, his birthday was May 12th (National M.E./CFS awareness day)
This show looks really good:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp2JuY5eAVo
I hope Nicolina wins America Idol. These young singers are all awesome. What a voice this young lady has, she is just amazingly talented.
