Dianna Cowern (aka Physics Girl on YouTube, and possibly @dianna) has been fighting COVID-induced ME/CFS since 2022.

@siracusa Finally outsourced your writing to AI, huh? Mostly kidding about that, though, it was nice to hear you take a more reasoned stance about blindly trusting the output of LLM’s on the recent ATP.

@siracusa So glad she is back and doing better!

@siracusa @dianna Soooooooo excited to see a new 'Physics Girl' video. I mean, for the content, sure, but even more so for seeing her making one! Fantastic news. Thanks for sharing, John.

@rawrdimus Untitled <some big number>, of course.

@josephduffy @siracusa thank you for preserving this very important historical event.

@siracusa @dianna my wife has been suffering from ME/CFS for the past seven years, as well as a constellation of other chronic illnesses. It is no joke.

@siracusa Thanks for sharing. It's important that others learn about this.

Soon it will be 4 years since I was diagnosed with ME/CFS. It's hard to describe how extreme this condition is. The hurdles are very individual, but the brutal crashes are identical for most of my fellow sufferers. I don't see a real way out, but it is possible to adapt to a certain extent and live a life. At least for me.

Thank you also for your podcast work, it gives me more stability than you can imagine.

@siracusa @dianna Good to see...there is a trajectory with ME/CFS that is fairly common (although far from universal) where partial recoveries spontaneously occur after a few years. Some people can and do experience remissions too. Hoping for the best for her.

I am so glad she is well enough to create new content!
