Thought for the Day:

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.

- Emily Dickinson

An Amazing TED Talk!

Here is a really good TED Talk on the history and plight of those with M.E. and others with hard to explain or yet-to-be understood illnesses.  As a sick/ill population, our continued dismissal by most of the medical establishment and general public is part of a larger pattern which includes the marginalization of women and those with yet-to-be understood diseases.

But Jennifer Brea says it better, so here you go. I highly recommend watching this and urge anyone who reads this blog to take 15 minutes of your time to do so: https://www.ted.com/talks/jen_brea_what_happens_when_you_have_a_disease_doctors_can_t_diagnose#t-5190
