I want to try it but I’m not sure if it’ll work for me. The clip can only go in your left ear. I mostly lie on my side and rely on noise cancelling earbuds. Not sure I can wear the earbuds with the clip. I need to reach out to them because they can help figure out which earbuds are compatible.

I asked a couple weeks ago and didn’t get many responses here or on Twitter.

I became more like this as I aged, especially after developing ME.

Task initiation/switching is so much harder now. It takes me hours to be functional in the AM.

I think that’s just the example they’re giving

Did come across this video specifically talking about those with Acadian heritage.

Thank you! I need to start tracking down birth certificates.

From what I’ve read, yes.

The example they give goes all the way back to a great grandparent.

Unfortunately I am super not interested in leading it but “Civics for Long Covid” would be an immensely valuable teach-in.
