Staying as healthy as one can is a priority when one is ill. It will not only contribute to how sick one gets but how resilient one is and can recover from continued hits (and we know there will be continued hits). 1/n
My focus for years was using longevity approaches to manage chronic illness, with the justification that staying as young as possible was my best recourse while waiting for treatment/cure for #MECFS. 2/n
I have stopped waiting for the treatment/cure to come from outside with @remissionbiome but I still believe in the value of using healthspan/lifespan interventions as a way to manage illness resiliency in diseases that have no immediate chance of treatment/cure. 3/n
There are many pillars of managing chronic illness. Behavioral interventions like sleep and diet and relaxation methods are actually important. A drug might come along as save us (maybe) but it wont heal a lifetime of damage due to ignoring healthspan pillars. 4/n
Most people die w/ multiple chronic diseases related to lifestyle choices. I cannot imagine piling CVD or cancer or dementia on top of #MECFS. My goal is to ward against this with every ounce of ability I have. My function (however limited) is too important to risk. 5/n
