Are there any health advantages to long-term immobility?

I genuinely like to think about this. Without mecfs I might have been in a serious bike crash, would probably have worn out the meniscus in my knees from running.

But the biggest upside is probably that I had to quit drinking. I was probably on track to make a lot of bad choices and destroy my body from the inside out.

it's possible I'm actually healthier in this timeline, you never know!
