Do Nothing: How To Break Away From Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving by Celeste Headlee https://celesteheadlee.com/do-nothing-book/

This is a beautiful piece about becoming chronically ill, learning to cope under the extreme burden, and accepting a new reality. It was written over the course of a year by Matt Lazell-Fairman, who has ME, and whom I know through his wife Katie. Matt is also the son of Mary Dimmock, who now...

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has focused health systems on supporting patients affected by this virus. Meanwhile in the community, many other contained patients could only use self‐care strategies, especially in countries that have set up a long and strict containment such as France. The...

i wasn’t sure where to put this. Please move it if necessary. I’m sure this happens to others as well. After being pretty much crashed and useless for 2-3 weeks, I am having a good week. I started this project to give me something to do while being stuck at home and it made my adrenalin high...

Its 11pm, i’m sitting in hospital waiting room. My partner came round to mine at 9.30 to use my heart monitoring equipment as he has Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome and he was tachycardic. He’s usually okay but they’ll need to keep a check on him in case they need to shock him. I rang the...
