My mother died just over 20 yrs ago. She used to grow gorgeous African Violets. I thought for decades that I dared not try growing one. Mind you, she declared many things impossible for me to do properly (read: her way) that I ended up being able to do. Seems she was also incorrect about this! 🌱

Speaking Your Body’s Truth: Talking to Providers About Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation
Translating your lived experience into words that help providers understand and support you.
Abby
Sep 27, 2025

You shouldn’t need a script to be believed.

However, if you live with Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, or another complex condition, you may already know the reality: sometimes you do. Sometimes you have to walk into an appointment armed with notes, rehearsed lines, and backup support, to make sure your experience gets through the filter of a system that doesn’t yet fully understand you and to help your providers understand your circumstances more deeply so they can make good decisions regarding your care.

If you’ve ever written out talking points before a visit, practiced how to sound “reasonable,” worried about striking the right balance between tired but not too tired, or even brought a friend to vouch for your story: none of that is an overreaction. It’s how people learn to navigate a system that was not built for them.

A statement from Evan Solomon states Bill C-16 will amend the criminal code to include AI deepfakes for the offence of publication of an intimate image without consent.
