"This podcast provides an uninterrupted account of my 40 year battle with post viral syndrome, starting at age 12, with severe mono. Second round of severe mono at 30 disabled me. Due to lack of supports and abdication of care on a host of fronts, I deteriorated over the next 25 years, into what will soon be my entirely preventable death, when I run out of money. Yeah, it still feels surreal, that in the 8th richest country in the world, it's that dire."
