Jennie Jacques Instagram – Please swipe for a beautiful picture – not just brains 🧠 😂 * Reading is like a sharpener for your mind – ya mind being the pencil ✏️ 💥 In the same way you might try to eat healthy & go to the gym for your body, please don’t ignore this medicine – if you are able to read more books 📚 do it – then do it again… some people are not well enough to read books &/or may require help to read for many reasons… could be sight, might be having never been taught properly – it’s a luxury to pick up a book 📖 so please appreciate & nurture it, if the gift 🎁 exists within reach for you! Give it a go… * I used to devour scripts weekly but in my 5th year with the illness ME/CFS (despite significant improvement 🍀 😜 ) acting 🎭 for now is on hold! People ask if I miss it? No, not particularly. I miss running 🏃‍♀️ around a park more. Or swimming miles in the peace of the open water 💦 ❤️ * Rather than dwell on what I can not do physically, I read most days & more recently started writing – with a VERY sharp 👌 ducking pencil 😂 🦆 Reading can be a life saver… * Those with #severeme are often left in the dark unable to do anything #millionsmissing – reading or listening to audio is often out of reach… I am extremely lucky to be seeing the steps towards recovery ❤️‍🩹 that I’m experiencing & if it continues I will fight hard for those who do not & cannot get better. * I don’t know if it’s just sheer good fortune & timing which is helping me slowly but surely function again – &/or if it’s been helped somewhat by some of the research & meds that I’m on/have been on; inclusive of #hbot – but I’ll be writing 🖋️ an article to share my journey in case it could help anyone else #longcovid #mecfs – ultimately it’s the science 🧪 🧬 behind “post” viral illness that needs funding! @polybiorf is one which you could donate £ if you’re in a position to help out 😊 otherwise just be kind & understanding if you know any person with this horrific condition #lymedisease #ebv #longcovidawareness #me #chronicillness #pots #dysautonomia * #readmore #readreadread #books #bookstagram #brainfood #stories
