@a98f4bdb my dog tries to kill himself under the wheels of my new wheelchair. Things that work: keeping treats in my hand to move him off to the side, driving the chair really really slowly. Things that don't work: begging, pleading, cajoling, any type of training (so far)
Good luck to your wife, and I hope recovery is speedy!

Also, so many of these things are comorbid? My ME/CFS caused my dysautonomia and POTS. My Fibro and ME/CFS started at the same time, so either one caused the other or something else caused them both.
It's not a surprise or a malingering when someone picks up multiple diagnoses...

It's my birthday!
For my birthday wish I'd love it if you read my favorite story ever, "There's Magic In Bread".
This is for everyone who's had a hard pandemic, everyone who sees nothing but bleakness but fights for hope anyway, and anyone who just loves bread.
