Congratulations on one year, Colleen. I'm sure all your subscribers appreciate the variety and clarity of your articles, and I hope they share them widely and encourage others to subscribe. There is so much info out there and it can take a person (especially a pwme) many years to know which sources are trustworthy. When sharing your work on social media, I usually try to emphasize your decades of experience and your integrity.

The table of contents is a great idea. Many thanks to you and to your very supportive husband. Keep on writing - the M.E. education that you provide is always needed.

Thank you for the table of contents. I joined only recently, well a few months ago now, and the TOC will help me find my way round all your articles. And thank you for them too, so helpful. I do use them to educate myself (with primary ME experience) and my circle. Congratulations on the milestone, both you and your husband. Very worthwhile work.

Thanks Rita :) I'm so glad you are finding the ToC helpful. I think Substack is working on some kind of search tool... which would also be helpful. Will pass that along to my husband. :)
