@timbray I know some online but not in person. I do have a few in person friends who have ME/CFS.

ME/CFS is often post-viral. My own case was and I'm now on long term disability. About half of Long Covid cases meet the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria.

#mecfs crowd, what is your experience with #adhd meds?

LMNT’s electrolyte sparking waters are my new fav, like many with who are bulk electrolyte salt subscribers they sent me a free 8-pack, Black Cherry Lime is the best IMO, tastes like Sonic’s famous cherry limeades, unpaid recommendation! What’s yours? 🍒🍋‍🟩

Trying to balance weight from a necessary high sodium #POTS #dysautonomia diet (with lymphedema from #EDS #MECFS, and disability exercise barriers) is tough

I may experiment with more sparkling water and less salts, see where it gets me!

I was among a number of people from the ME community that Rachel spoke to to get background information. I'm hopeful this will be good.

A recording should be available later at the link I believe.
