Re: A very good post, to which I recommend everybody click through!
Date: 2017-09-09 11:47 pm (UTC)Netflix recs we got, that's for sure. I'm really enjoying BETTER THINGS right now--only-in-LA premise, but still Pamela Adelon's vision of her life has 908% more reality than most things on the box.
I've witnessed a slow change in the introduction ritual, thanks in large part to the internet. When I was initially diagnosed (only 5 years) with ME/CFS, there was at least a LISTSERV to share experiences and "how to live like this."
But when I first got ill, there were only in-person support groups. Which, y'know, when you're flat on your back in bed for a year, getting to a support group seems impossible. (To be fair, there were also telephone trees but I don't do telephones.)
Still and yet, I see so many people diving into the wreck of their health, and then when they surface, asking, "Wait! What? Isn't my doctor going to help me live? What am I supposed to do now?"
