I am so sorry. Please stop! I'm your person in California with identical symptoms for the same amount of time whose symptoms have increased exactly as yours have.

And I'm older than you so I can be bossy. You must stop doing the newsletter at least! Honestly, I have derived help and understanding from you over the years, and I can't say how much I appreciate you. But this can't be at your expense.

Please take care of yourself. You can get back to us with results in a year or two.

Thankfully yours,

Jody Eastman

So sorry to hear that your health has taken a turn in the wrong direction. I was very intrigued when you started this project and have been following this with great interest. I have also learned a great deal from your writing and like your no nonsense approach to sorting the wheat from the chaff. Having said this, one thing we all know is that we have to take care of ourselves and do what our body directs us to do, no matter how frustrating this can be at times. This includes you. Here's to the healthy scientists doing the necessary research, instead of forcing (often) the ill to do it themselves. Here's to those researchers listening to the ill and not making wild assumptions. Do what you need to right now, prioritise your own needs.
