Just had a funny convo with my uncle. "I said you're coming for Thanksgiving and some of my friends asked if you know @davidtuller1?"
"Yes, I know David--"
"He writes about ME"
"Yes --"
"I read one of his articles, about cognitive behavioral therapy.. (1/7)

"...and exercise and how they just throw this at ME patients and of course it doesn't help but that National Institutes of Health in UK changed this. Did you know about that?" (2/7)

"...Anyway I don't think David will be there, I just think it's cool we share some friends-of-friends."

Twitterverse, he then shocked me by asking: (3/7)

~ What food(s), if any, I'm allergic to
~ Does pot smoke bother me? If so, everyone can just smoke upstairs
~ 4-5 steps up to the house - am I ok to climb them?
~ Parking might be hard but he'll be sure to drop me at the door
~ 15-20 attendees, all 2x- & 3x-vaxed: ok? (4/7)

Then he said he'd take the Chronic Illness Survey Adventure as a HC.
Then,
"OK! I want to stop talking now and watch television. I don't know what I want to watch, yet, but I'm ready to 'shut off'!" (5/7)

Lollll very typical cheery bluntness from that side of the family: conversation-done-now-love-you-BYE!

But the point is my uncle is a Delight. And I was touched. (6/7)

There are so many myths floating around about ME but my uncle, who has decided to Make An Effort, seems to have circumvented them all.
There should be a question to determine if someone is really "in the know" about ME.
I suggest, "Do you know David Tuller?" (7/7)
