Hello blue sky people! I have 16,000 Twitter followers to whom I am dedicated to helping with MECFS. How will I ever reach that over here? Do I need to post on both places? ❤️

You can ask ChatGPT or any AI to prepare a meal plan for you for any diet. You can specify “for people who can’t cook”, “gluten-free”, “low FODMAP”, etc. Then have it prepare a grocery list, tell you which stores nearby have those items on sale, and show you how to get them delivered!

Blood vessels probably aren't the first thing you'd associate with feeling pain.
New findings from @acourtin.bsky.social and team, however, suggest that they may play a larger role than we suspected: www.bps.org.uk/research-dig...
