Recovering from the pandemic looks different for those suffering from chronic illness. In Part 1, we heard from Perry Norton, a local ME/CFS patient. KCSB’s Joyce Chi also talked to Dr. Mouhanad Hammami, Santa Barbara County’s Public Health Director, and to Chesley Heymsfield, a filmmaker working on a documentary, about their efforts to raise awareness among physicians and the public alike.
