There are lots of ME recovery stories, even though recovery is rare for ppl w/ ME for more than a few years. Often, people who recover are... really annoying. I've remitted 2x, and I've tried to talk about it v carefully. I'd like to suggest some guidelines for recovery stories.

for those who live at the intersections of these illnesses—and/or support their peers who do—it’s so, painfully clear that these (&other) conditions are connected in varying degrees. I can’t wait for science to validate in full what our lived-experience has already let us in on.
