I have been participating in the #RECOVERSleep trial since the beginning of November. I qualified for the med arm, but of course don't officially know if I have the med or placebo. While still severe/very severe, I have had improvement in cognitive ability and have days with useable hour(s). 1/

Millions of people with ME, including me, in the U.S. do not have access to a specialist who can care for their complex disease. Teach ME, Treat ME so that we can educate the next generation of ME specialists. #MillionsMissing2024 #MEcfs #MEawarenessmonth #PwME #PwLC #MedEd #MEAction #severeME

Found it!

A torso selfie of Melinda, a white woman, wearing a black short sleeve shirt that has a picture of Goose, the flerken from Captain Marvel laying on its back diagonally. Around the flerken are the words to "Soft Kitty" from The Big Bang Theory.

No, I'm not acutely ill or have a fever. This is what #PEM can look like. What did I do for this you ask? Had a telehealth appt with my headache specialist earlier that day... Sheldon is good at comfort 😻 #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ComplexChronicIllness #LongCovid #IACC

Melinda, a pale white woman with dark hair, is in a PEM crash, propped up in bed on a blue pillow. Her cheeks, lips and nose are red, her brow is furrowed. Sheldon, a brown and black tabby kitty is sleeping on her chest with his head on her shoulder facing the camera.

This is how we do this, right? I didn't see the movie not because I don't want to, but because I'm bedridden by #SevereME. About Severe ME youtu.be/CTxwlf7LSrA?...
