    More interviews with activist Matt McGorry. He is really putting himself out there and educating the public about LC.

    If I had discovered and really understood pacing sooner, I feel like I probably would have a better baseline than I do right now. I was still working out, lifting weights, even going to physical therapy for [an injury]. If I had had that knowledge sooner, I think it would have been helpful, and perhaps, saved me some decline.

    I'm SO excited to be partnering with the NYC Health Department)! As we enter year 5 of the COV!D pandemic, it's important to understand how & why we must continue to protect ourselves and our communities!

    Stay tuned for more from NYC Health & me!

    Don’t know if this post belongs in this thread….

    Celtics' Porzingis excels in return from 'frustrating' illness

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44270352/kristaps-porzingis-excels-return-frustrating-illness

    "It was extremely, extremely frustrating, just not knowing what I had," said Porzingis, who added it was an upper respiratory illness that developed into something like bronchitis or mononucleosis. "But I haven't been this sick for probably ever in my life. So, I was really, for a week, really just laying at home trying to recover. And after that, I had lingering fatigue -- and I still have it a little bit -- but at least I'm not getting into shape to be able to play.

    "But after each workout I was, boom, big crash. I was really, really fatigued. Like, not normal. So, yeah, it's taking a little bit longer, but I'm doing everything, all my bio-hacking stuff that I know, and just trying to get back in the best shape possible."

    I’ve just remembered Gary Frankum, a UK speedway rider with ME, who raised quite a bit of awareness at the time. Haven’t heard anything about him in years.
