Hello,

Ive shared a link here of wikipedia article on famous people who live with ME/CFS.
Some of this people must be in remission a lot of the time, or dont have severe type ME as some surprising names came out, one being Cher.
I wondered if anybody here knows of any other celebraties with the illness who talk about it, piano player Keith Jarrett talks in depth about it, and even talks about his extensive antibiotic treatment he's having.

Good timing - Stevie Nicks has been making the rounds lately with a new album.

I've always wondered if toxins can cause ME/CFS, why there wouldn't be more drug addicts like Stevie Nicks with ME/CFS. It seems like her drug of choice (cocaine) would at least do a number on your adrenals which could be diagnosed/misdiagnosed as ME/CFS.

And Ken Wilber was actually part of the Incline Village cohort. His seizures a few years ago were a progression, but he has been sick for a couple of decades.
