ahimsa_pdx, 16 days ago In past years I've shared stories of my formerly active life. I'm skipping that this year because some folks interpreted my story in an ableist way. They thought I meant: "See how active and productive I was? We need treatments so we can be productive again!" No, I only shared my story to push back on false narratives that being fit and healthy protects you from disabling chronic illness. Anyone can get ME/CFS or Long Covid! https://www.meaction.net/learn/what-is-me/ 2/n @mecfs #COVID #MEcfs #LongCovid
