<i>elle</i> is being inundated with letters and email this week...
why?
well, they published a rather nasty <a href="http://www.elle.com/inthemag/articles/August/thin_successful.asp" target=_new>story<M/a> about "all in your head" illnesses, a rather prickly subject for me. Nicholas Regush made this his <a href="http://www.elle.com/inthemag/articles/August/thin_successful.asp">scream</a> of the week. i like his diagnosis of IWP.
now, we all know that elle isn't exactly a purveyor of prime research. which is exactly WHY i don't feel elle should publish this kind of tripe... the whole dismissive tone toward illnesses which are still misunderstood really peeves me.
the fact that it's difficult to find a physical "cause" of for my fibro/cfids symptoms doesn't mean the problem is all in my head. it means we need to do more RESEARCH into these disorders and their pathologies.
i know <a href="http://www.co-cure.com/" target=_new>co-cure</a> is mounting a writing campaign. if anyone wants addresses, let me know.

Heh, did Kyle tell you that he thought that the weeble movie pie thingy was actually done by Tom for a few minutes, because it was so bizarre?? :D

Because, of course, there must be some deep-seated psychological reason that I _want_ to feel this shitty. Fuckers.
