A big welcome to ricochet readers finding this podcast due to the article written by Simon Spichak ( https://ricochet.media/en/3991/Canada-MAID-policy-death-by-poverty )! Fyi this was recorded on Augusta 31st(+ additions on September 8th and 9th), ie before previous episodes so don't be surprised, but I waited to published it until the RICHOCHET article came out has publications so far have preferred that and I wanted to be respectful as I'm so grateful for them telling my story. So basically we're a little out of sequence and I wanted to explain why. Also WHY I recorded this episode before the ricochet article came out because I didn't know when it would come out and I couldn't be sure what brain power I'd have then. The perils of a mitochondrial disorder on minimal supports; unpredictable energy for even simply tasks.

Episode title talks about some of the ways that I'm employing the coping strategies I talked about in the previous episodes. Also mini update on latest hyperbaric chamber new/supplements. PLUS Sept 8 Immunologist visit 'feels' right after the appointment and then middle of the night dark night of the soul it precipitates.

I misspoke *vision thing*is a song AND album name. It's a kind of dark song so I wasn't going to share it but after the middle of the night dark thoughts maybe it's appropriate to https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mPZRUA0DBWhgunX03jvJ5q_zLR19c4y7g&si=aH3rOQDDevk-1duV

Here's the link in the tweet thread the journalist did with highlights from the article (FB and Instagram block news links now) https://twitter.com/SpichakSimon/status/1707785829433618864?t=RowAITYe-W17QLiZRGTNMQ&s=19

And in case you hate Twitter now, I also put the link in the update to the GoFundMe because social media is seeming to allow that to share.
