Question for #MECFS and #Fibromyalgia patients:

How many of you experience crashes or a massive flare-up of symptoms after a blood draw?

What do you experience?

[BERA @BERANews]

In a new BERA Blog, @ncjbrown & @DrSchniff explain why academia is frequently ableist, excluding those w/ invisible disabilities & chronic illnesses – and why the Covid-19 pandemic has opened new doors to them.

[Chronically Academic @chron_ac]

[Chronically Academic @chron_ac]

"The decision about whether to disclose or to hide a condition is an act of self-preservation, information control and impression management – thus it is identity work" says @ncjbrown in the #AbleismInAcademia book #ChronAcCOVID19. Download from here: https://t.co/pwLrCl7dkr
