I have me/cfs. Did I mention that?

Funnily enough, I don't remember if I've ever said that here. I've mostly discussed using a power chair. Which although the world is full of barriers for wheelchair users, has let me leave my house again for a reason other than the doctor, and is largely the reason this mag exists.

Today I had intended to go to a show, but I overdid it and eneded up sleeping the whole day, barely able to move . It is what it is.

But here's why I bring it up now:

Would anyone want to work on a community sourced cook book for ppl with cfs?

Even when I look for easy or fast recipes they're written as easy for a tired but relatively healthy person, not someone with a severe energy limiting condition.

I want to collect the recipes for what you eat when ur in a crash, if you're able to get to the kitchen. If you're bedbound, do you keep specific snacks do you keep? What's the most tolerable protien shake in your opinion (this question has been devisive)

It could include things too simple to be considered "real" recipes by healthy people- but I want to know of there's a specific brand of hot sauce you use on microwave rice. This brand of instant mashed potatoes. If you have to stand up for 2 min verses 5 min to make it. That level of detail.

If anyone is interested I was thinking of making a form to collect them but I'd love if other ppl wanted to get involved (crip time ofc)

Is this about music? No. But it's deeply diy. So I hope you'll forgive the diversion.
