[Emily Lo Gibson @elogibs]

@nigreaux Congrats Darien! Incredible news.

@typewriterbird @NaNoWriMo Thanks for your piece! I'm a long time Wrimo and chronic illness person, so glad to hear of others in a similar space.

[Emily Lo Gibson @elogibs]

Thanks to everyone who pinged me about this article. It's already making ripples, now we need waves. TY @edyong209 !

🚨I wrote about ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). The US has millions of people with it & maybe two dozen docs who specialize in it.

This medical crisis needs urgent attention, esp. now COVID has hugely increased the number of long-haulers. 1/

A year ago I boarded a train in #Istanbul to investigate one scientist's claim of rediscovering Silphion, a legendary herb thought to have gone extinct 2,000 years ago.

It still grows in the heart of #Turkey—and it's delicious.

@nunosep1 Photosensitivity and sensitivity to all stimuli was high at onset (severe ME) but started abating as I improved. W/ later neuro mvmt issues, both migraine and photophobia/sensitivity have spiked, tho ME now generally moderate. Some correlation w barometric pressure

My ME/CFS doc just announced he’s retiring. Another is retiring too. There’s no one for the patients of these retiring clinicians to go to — much less the millions of new long Covid patients who need them. 4/

Happy book birthday to A Darkness at the Door @BooksByIntisar ! I'm racing along with Rae in her fight against corruption, and have to say I like this unstoppable pirate queen even more ⚔️ 👑 💛

[Emily Lo Gibson @elogibs]

Happy 1 month to FEATHER AND FLAME @lkblackburne! While writing this review, I got all nostalgic for Mulan and all the 90s Chinese dramas I watched with my mom.

@BooksByIntisar I nearly thought you were coming here to Boston! Then I saw the event was virtual... 🤷🏻‍♀️ One day!

[Emily Lo Gibson @elogibs]

@cagraber Bravo! You all deserve to be among your nominees. So glad to see how the show has grown over the years. 😎

10 years ago, I began to design anatomical origami models to better understand anatomy class in undergrad, starting with the brain first. Who knew I would end up displaying at art galleries/conventions around the world and then later decide to pursue #neurology? #neurotwitter

[Emily Lo Gibson @elogibs]

@BooksByIntisar Already saved! Crossing my fingers that this gets funded. Rae needs her voice heard in as many ways as possible!

[Emily Lo Gibson @elogibs]

@benh_mecfs I *just* did this!

[#MEAction Network @MEActNet]

This is to all the millions of family members, relatives and friends of patients with #MECFS. We encourage you to show the world your reality and how ME affects your life. United our voices will sound louder. Your voice is needed. Please use #CloseToME and SHARE this message.

@BooksByIntisar Well, that's rather unexpected. Someone really ran with the historic fey battles... ran out of the novel and into another!
