It just perks me right up to be with like-minded people and rally together. I went to May Day in my city, the first protest in a very long time and I felt great being out in the sun and even on the grass.<br />But since I have health problems, I paid for my good day all week.<br /><br />Actually, telephone activism is supposedly very effective. So, keep doing that. And while you're at it, pressure your representative to vote for medical research funding for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the NIH.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-38797729148737232072017-05-03T18:18:05.774-04:002017-05-03T18:18:05.774-04:00Diane,

I guess one could say I'm choosing my battles, although "warrior" terminology is not my preference. I haven't had to engage while Obama was president, but now I need to be in full throttle, and it's quite a change. Books are for solace.
