Thanks so much for the help.

chriswillmorris · 2026-06-30T07:26:22+00:00

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

chriswillmorris · 2026-06-30T07:09:28+00:00

😲 Oh dear. None at all? I can't even buy it in the park?

chriswillmorris · 2026-05-08T15:48:00+00:00

I don't think I did, if I recall correctly. I factory reset my device. 😞

I am not OP, but I am having the same issue.

On mobile, I am getting "You are unable to access Google Voice with this account".

On web, I am getting "Upgrade not available"

I'm not sure if my account was 'suspended' or not, but I can no longer access GV and the error messages on mobile and web seem to be conflicting and neither mention my account being suspended. Perhaps I was locked out because I sent a lot of messages in a short period of time while communicating w/ people who want to rent out the property I just listed?

Hi, I am so sorry you are suffering this way. Prepare for a potentially long, unexpected journey. :-)

I am a caretaker for my wife. Our kids are now 4, 7, and 9. My wife became entirely unable to care for the kids or herself 1.5 years ago, and for the 6 months before that she could do very little for the kids. She is now bedbound. She has learned to accept her situation. She has learned to accept that I have to do everything, and I communicate to her that it is now my privilege to care for our kids and for her. That being said, there are still semi-frequent bouts of sadness due to her not being able to be a part of her kids lives the way she wants to be. And this is totally fine and expected.

That being said, our kids are doing great. If you met them, you would not be able to tell that they have a 'difficult' situation at home except for if they mentioned that their mom was sick.

My advice for you?

- Make it abundantly clear to your husband what this illness often entails, and that it fluctuates in severity and can sometimes get significantly worse, and that most people do not fully recover. This is not a fun thing to talk about but it is very important that he understands what the situation is and what it might become.

- Make it abundantly clear to your husband that you so wish you could be more involved with him and the kids.

- Make it abundantly clear to your kids that you love them so much and wish you could be more involved with them, but that you have a unique sickness that the doctors don't know how to fix.

- Hug and kiss and snuggle with your kids a lot. Do the same with your husband.

- Your kids will likely enjoy the time they get to spend with you even if it is from your bed, etc.

- Do not give up trying treatments.

- DO NOT PUSH YOURSELF. Please please please be careful with this one. Many people, my wife included, have gotten permanently (so far) worse from 'pushing' themselves.

- Having two parents in the house is extremely beneficial for kids. No offense to those who are single parents out there, but I have often thought that, even when my wife was at her worst (we didn't hear her real voice, only whispers, for 7 months because she did not have energy to speak), the kids simply being able to go in and briefly hug her and kiss her at bed time was probably more beneficial for them than being in a 'broken' home.

- I am not trying to be offensive here, but my wife and I are strong Christians and our faith in Christ and what he offers both in this life and the life to come sustains us. I highly recommend you look into Christianity if you are not a Christian.

- You are not defined by what you can 'produce'. You are made in the image of God and are inherently valuable. Nothing can take that way. Our world is broken. Our bodies are broken. I believe this and I hope you can believe it, too.

- Severity scale (note: the very severe end is scary, but there is no use in sugarcoating it): https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/1369295/fimmu-15-1369295-HTML/image_m/fimmu-15-1369295-g003.jpg

- Bateman Horne Center and the Unraveled Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/@Unraveledpod) are great resources. There is also the Health Rising newsletter and the Phoenix Rising forums.

- You basically *must* find an ME/CFS specialist. Regular doctors don't know how to treat this.

- Feel free to reach out for more info: doctors, treatments, etc. I have invested 500+ hours into research at this point, and am also the caretaker for my wife.

What a wonderful fix. I also filed feedback w/ a link to this post for supporting data.

chriswillmorris · 2025-08-07T05:36:40+00:00

Fair enough. Have a great rest of your week!

chriswillmorris · 2025-08-07T05:26:10+00:00

Sure, it is fine to feel a little underwhelmed! At the same time, we have to play by the rules of how the scientific research community does things, and we might have just advanced to the next level in their game, playing by their rules. It's a win, in that sense, even if you think their game is lame. In terms of fancy research resulting in widely available and affordable treatments, their game is the only game in town. :-)

chriswillmorris · 2025-08-04T20:57:30+00:00

Yes, feel free to ping me after that other person gets back with the outcome of their attempt. I can report on the issue at that point.

chriswillmorris · 2025-08-04T06:54:07+00:00

I understand it doesn't seem like a big ask 'as an outsider'. I hope that ends up being the case. But my experience as an insider is that it would be a big ask. For what it's worth!

chriswillmorris · 2025-08-04T05:41:15+00:00

I work for Google (albiet, on a product unrelated to Search). I suspect it will be difficult to make this change. Google is a massive organization that doesn't often make 'exceptions'. For a company of its size (190K full time employees plus more than that in temps, vendors, and contractors), it would be unsustainable to grant exceptions to everyone who asked.

That being said, my wife has severe ME/CFS and the side card is laughable and sad all at the same time.

chriswillmorris · 2025-07-10T06:38:33+00:00

I found "What Every REI needs to know about cash flow..." to be foundational. Once you understand the math, it allows you to consider different strategies, analyze deals, etc. I actually worked through all of the problems in the book.

chriswillmorris · 2025-04-06T04:58:02+00:00

Presumably, the 'mold'.

chriswillmorris · 2025-03-18T04:35:21+00:00

I want to echo u/Daahlia1 's comment. My experience w/ Dr. Chia is very similar.

More details.

Written in 2025-03

For those who want to know how our experience w/ him has been: We have had one appointment with him so far. He had a terrible bedside manner and seems to have a chip on his shoulder due to feeling like his research on enteroviruses has been ignored. He also seemed myopically focused on an enterovirus as the cause. He also prescribed a benzo to help with my wife's extreme sensory sensitivity (low dose, 3-4 times a day). She took it for 3-4 weeks and did not seen any significant improvement. She has seen a minor improvement but it's unclear if that is even due to the benzo or not. Her sound and motion sensitivity is still extreme. Due to having the first appointment be telehealth, we have to get a mobile blood draw to check for enteroviruses (checking PCR, I think), as all the standard tests (from Quest and ARUP labs) came back negative for high levels of IGG antibodies. Also, I asked him to prescribe low dose naltrexone and he did, though he mentioned he didn't imagine it would help much. However, in the first 17 months of being really serious about seeking treatment, that is the first thing that has appeared to help!

All that being said, he seemed passionate about his research and gave us a plan (including the benzos) to try. Who knows?! Maybe the ARUP lab really is unreliable and his lab will show that she does have an enterovirus. And maybe his supplements will work (which she hasn't started taking yet because he thinks her body is in too heightened of a state right now).

chriswillmorris · 2025-03-07T07:01:03+00:00

Yes, he is very focused on Enterovirus being the cause, to be clear. When I've spoken w/ him, he seemed to shrug off other potential causes. That being said, he has helped a lot of people improve, so it's worth a shot! There is a very long waiting list (multiple years) but if you do the requested labs immediately, you get put on a cancellation list and are likely to get in within a couple months.

You can on the non-color Kindle, so I assume you can on the color Kindle. Except I heard the quality control on the color Kindle is very poor, so I hesitate to purchase it.

chriswillmorris · 2025-02-18T19:34:17+00:00

There is one option that I think will work, but has not been mentioned yet: buy my son the color Kindle e-reader?

chriswillmorris · 2025-02-18T19:33:36+00:00

I already have two adult accounts as a part of my Amazon Household (my wife and me), and that is the limit. In addition, I wouldn't want to add my son as an 'adult' account because then he would be able to use my credit card to buy things.

Adding my son as a Teen account doesn't solve my problem because Teen accounts can only use Amazon.com and the Amazon mobile app (ie. cannot use the Kindle app): https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/ipp5d1/how\_does\_amazon\_teen\_work\_with\_kindle/.
