    In this episode of That Chronic Thing podcast, Cathy is joined by her friend Jess Gardner.

    Jess is Reiki certified, she’s a poodle mama, disability advocate for EDS. Noonan syndrome, ME/CFS, dysautonomia and SFN. In addition, she is the proprietor and herbalist behind Muddy Roots, her business, where she serves up fire cider and plant based skin care for those local in Boston.

    Fave Quotes

    ➡️ "It’s [fatigue] made me have to reevaluate every single dream… I’ve had for myself. …I’m mostly home recovering from everything, everything.”

    ➡️"And it makes me cry because everybody, people who don’t understand what’s going on, they make it into this personality defect of something that’s wrong with you.”

    ➡️ Normal person asks, How are you? "I'm fine." Chronic illness friend asks, How are you? "I just had the worst BM. I feel awful. I can’t get the chills to stop."

  • Chronically Yours: ME/CFS Up Close, a personal story of chronic illness and resilience

    Chronically Yours: ME/CFS Up Close, a personal story of chronic illness and resilience
    2025/10/03

    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
