No I agree - it will not be humerous for those still severely ill. It reflected my own beginnings 11 years ago (not humerous then) but slowly as one regains some more functioning some humour returns.
sorry, i didn't mean for this to go down a negative road, or devolve into a horrid kind of debate that sometimes happens. The Golden Girls is a humorous program, and I have enjoyed it a lot over the years. It's my understanding that one of their foremost writers had ME/CFS and so the story lines occasionally went in that direction ; Still maintained humor around it all, because it's a comedy program...that's what they did.
i am very happy that you have somewhat of a functioning life, "regained" as you said. very fortunate indeed, as most often people go into a steady decline as the disease progresses. many become severely impacted ,as you probably know, by participating here on the forum. and we are dying, from the failures and complications that come with having this disease. the lack of help from our trusted Federal health overseers has turned me into a cynic who doesn't laugh a whole lot anymore, due to what i see going on all around me while the CDC roadblocks everything for some mysterious reasons. It's just that my own ability to laugh has been beaten down by over 25 years of pain.
however, it's wonderful that others can still see the humor. genuinely, i do mean that.
