Today’s featured article on Wikipedia’s homepage is the ME/CFS entry!

If you’re not familiar with ME/CFS, this is a great overview of a debilitating condition very commonly triggered by Covid.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgic...
From today's featured article Graphic showing four icons labeled profound fatigue, worsening from exertion, disrupted sleep and brain fog Text reads: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling chronic illness. People with ME/CFS experience profound fatigue Symptoms of ME/CFS that does not go away with rest, sleep issues, and problems with memory or concentration. The hallmark symptom is a worsening of the illness which starts hours to days after minor physical or mental activity, and lasts from hours to several months. The cause of the disease is unknown. ME/CFS often starts after an infection, and many people fit the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria after contracting long COVID. Diagnosis is based on symptoms because no diagnostic test is available. The illness can improve or worsen over time, but full recovery is uncommon. No therapies or medications are approved to treat the condition, and management is aimed at relieving symptoms. About a quarter of those affected are unable to leave their bed or home. People with ME/CFS often face stigma in healthcare settings, and care is complicated by controversies around the cause and treatments of the illness. (Full article...)

People really need hear & understand. It’s not ‘lingering symptoms’ it’s a catastrophic cascade of events lasting months & years that can and does kill people. #LongCovidKills
Tweet from actress Morgan Fairchild: Hi, Wendy. Yes, I still mask everywhere I go. I limit my exposure to crowds, even outside. I live in LA, but am currently working in Kansas City. I'm often the only masker I see. I have never caught Covid & don't want to. My fiance died of Long Covid earlier this year.

I've decided to open my code-distribution project to folks in the disability community as well as the chronically ill community. Please help spread the word! And I continue to be grateful for donated codes. forms.gle/ohDAHronsA2t...
