Special thanks to In Concert for Cancer for spreading their love for music and passion for ending cancer with the community! Michele Abrams and Jeff Christensen presented a $75,000 check to the CVI earlier this week.

The U.S. now has 23 #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis specialists or research labs, w/ Duke being the latest.
#UWMed @uwmedicine.bsky.social is still WAY behind.
My PCP is finally catching up--again, per the CDC 3.35 M Americans have it--but I've had to invoke "failure of duty to care".
Ridiculous.
In theater, one of the mantras when a scene isn't working is "Try a new tactic!"
That's what I'm doing w/ #UWMed @uwmedicine.bsky.social.
Unlike Stanford, Mayo, Cornell, Duke, et al, they'll never hire a #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis specialist.
They don't care.
So, now I write about them.

On Mon, my #UWMed @uwmedicine.bsky.social cardio insisted I go to the ER to have an angiogram.
ER said I’d have to be admitted first.
The whole 2 days I was in the hospital, neither my cardio nor PCP reached out to me or the hospital.
Angiogram performed via my wrist.
#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis
#UWMed @uwmedicine.bsky.social is still nowhere up to speed on #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis.
Mayo Clinic, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Cornell, Stanford, Mt. Sinai, Emory and other top tier medical centers have M.E. specialists and research teams.
UW Med? Nada.

So, #UWMed sent just out a letter to all of us w/ #Aetna saying the two parties can't come to terms and that, starting June 1, all of us w/ Aetna will have to pay more, possibly the full amount.
Same thing already happened at #Polyclinic, which is owned by #UnitedHealthcare.
