    Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS): a common underlying cause for all "chronic complex illnesses"? (ME/CFS, fibro, GWI, etc.)

    I was able to access the webinar today without any trouble. I realised after I failed yesterday that I had missed the one email that actually had the link directly to the webinar. I was messing about with some of the other emails that gave me links to tickets which didn't lead me to webinar...

    Rehabilitation providers’ experiences with long COVID care in Canada: a qualitative study, 2025, Leighton

    The shirt example starting with folding half a shirt reminds me of someone I know being advised by an OT to make her trip (taken by car and wheelchair) to the local library more managable and less exhausting by breaking it up into stages over several days. We had fun imagining where she was...

    I read a couple of her pieces. I appreciate their brevity. I like the realism of this one: Pacing in the Real World Where stopping isn't always an option. It ends:

    Help. Is anyone else expecting to attend the Elaros MEA webinar in 5 minutes time? I have spent the last half your trying to figure out how to get into it. I have multiple emails including one with a link to get my ticket, but no way I can see of actually using it.
