do you have a doctor trying to figure out the Chronic Fatigue or related syndrome?
Doctors have always been a little bit of a disappointment for me. I've been chronically ill since I was fourteen and whenever I've brought something to them, it sort of amounts to 'huh, that's weird' and nothing much comes of it. You get dismissed a lot as a woman. I'll probably bring it up with my doctor if I get called in for a med check or something, but she has a very strange way of deciding to ignore what you came to talk about to chase something else that you mentioned three appointments ago that she ignored at that time. Right now in Ontario, we're lucky to have a GP at all--it's a five year wait list in some areas, so I'm grateful even if it's frustrating. There doesn't seem to be a lot to do for CFS, anyway, and I'm doing what can be done already. I'm hoping the rise in Long Covid, which is essentially CFS, will put more research into treatments for it.
I love that show! I haven't watched in a long time, but Fraser is a favorite hero. (And I might like first Ray more, but I also like second Ray.) We missed it when it first aired, saw it when we were watching Stargate SG-1—and there was young Amanda Tapping!
My brother's ex, who first introduced me to the show, was a RayV fan. I've always been more of an RayK fan, but on re-watching as an adult, I do appreciate RayV more than I did when I was younger. SG1 is another show I haven't seen in yonks. Mum and I watched all of SG1 and Atlantis when it was airing, we loved them. I haven't encountered Amanda Tapping on DS yet. One of my teenage friend's cousins was in an episode and also in Men With Brooms, which was a movie Paul Gross wrote and starred in. I've never met her, but it's still kind of cool to have the connection.
