PSA: If you have a fever, “laryngitis,” hoarseness, “the stomach bug,” or are otherwise ill in the middle of summer, you probably have Covid. A large new wave is underway. Everyone has forgotten summers used to bring much-needed disease reprieves, but those days are over now.

Disability is not a moral failing. Disability isn’t actually a failure at all. Disability is as natural as breathing. We all experience disability if we’re lucky enough to age, including animals. Disability is not a tragedy, it’s a human condition.

“I fight so much to just exist… I’m never pain-free… Why must I fight bad doctors, bad pharmacies and now the government? I am so tired—and it is not the just the #fibromyalgia and #CFSME. I just want to get the help I need.” buff.ly/oCRGdNU #chronicpain #opioidhysteria

Living in pain will shorten our lives. Pain isn’t benign. Some doctors seem to think it is. Long term pain leaves the body in fight or flight constantly.

When the Night Is Heavy and the Fan Still Roars. by Michael Whelan Its 4:21 AM. I barely slept a wink. Rebecca didn’t either. The night unraveled in whispers and weight... her body refusing to cooperate, her eyes pleading for help she never wanted to need. She’s 120 pounds,…
