I absolutely adored CHAIN-GANG ALL-STARS, by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. A devastating satire about the US carceral state taken to its logical conclusion: televised gladiatorial combat. A profound love story about finding hope & dignity amid oppression. bookshop.org/p/books/chain-…

🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized. (This piece also covers PEM.) 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

@edyong209 A sensitive, deeply empathic, and illuminating piece that is sure to become a guidepost for the significant numbers providers and patients alike faced with these maladies. Thank you for this valuable work! apple.news/AkT-ILq44Q56uw…
@edyong209 @ahandvanish My sister does not take my illness seriously at all. Just doesn’t care. I’m writing these few words after 4 days of bedridden exhaustion, barely managing to eat. The trigger for this bout of PEM? Driving to supermarket, pharmacy for supplies and driving home, crashing next day.
@edyong209 @NastyOldWomyn I read everything you wrote in the last few years. Thank you.
@edyong209 So powerful. Overwhelmed with gratitude for you @edyong209
@edyong209 @exceedhergrasp1 Thank so much for your many articles on Long Covid and making us sufferers heard. Thank you for spreading awareness. People are still getting Long Covid!
@edyong209 You are a treasure. Thank you so much for your incredible work and compassion.
@edyong209 My parents appreciated it, but also I was sent the article by a really lovely cardio-thoracic surgeon friend: I think I’m his first real (social) experience of PEM, and he found it really illuminating. So (good) physicians liked it too!
@edyong209 I got through to 8 people I'm close too but didn't get it. You just convey it so well!
it feels like an extremely ME thing to know that I need to wait to read this because I cannot manage the energy required by the Big Feels it is sure to elicit I remain thankful for Ed’s work
Whenever I write about long-covid or ME, I get waves of emails from chronically ill folk who feel seen/heard. But with this piece, I'm *also* hearing from healthy people saying they finally get what their loved ones are going through. Which feels amazing. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
@edyong209 A few of my healthy friends sent your article to me and commented that it’s exactly how I have described long covid,fatigue & ME to them.A couple even had notes & questions. Thank you for spreading awareness, it’s important.
@edyong209 Yesterday, my own sister said, “I did not understand how sick you really felt.” You are the voice we all need. 💙
