CNN Article on "Talking to someone with a chronic illness"

It's similar advice to what I've read here and elsewhere, but it's the first time I've ever seen CNN mention CFS at all (it's in one of the story photos at the top). My comment about ME/CFS is on the first page of comments if sorting by best rating

I read somewhere a very clever, but very simple thing folk should say to us:-
"How aren't you?"
then we can launch into a lovely response of; "Wonderful, top of the world!".

but oh, my heart leapt at the suggestion a friend might bring me a cooked meal!

It won't happen, of course; all of my friends who would do that for me, live far too far away.

Good to see. I hit like on your comment.

How aren't you today, Sickofsickness?

(I haven't joined up to comment - I don't know what it is!)
