About this listen

In this episode of Chronically Yours, a segment of That Chronic Thing podcast, Cathy reads a moving submission from JD Fraser, who lives with severe ME/CFS. JD shares the realities of life with a poorly understood chronic illness—housebound, isolated, and enduring years without meaningful medical treatment.

Alongside her story, JD offers ways we can all help: learn about ME/CFS, show care through small acts of kindness, support research, and keep finding joy in life’s little things.

💙 Watch Unrest on Netflix to learn more about ME/CFS
💙 Support research: Open Medicine Foundation
