I just learned food insecurity could be divided up into at least 2 ways:

"economic food insecurity": not being able to afford food

"physical food insecurity": not being able to shop for food or prepare meals.

I think the latter could be more common in those with #MECFS (& probably some others with #spoonie conditions) at least from time to time than the general population

"In March of 2020 I was attacked on my way home from work.
The man grabbed me, shook me, coughed in my face & laughed ‘You’re sick now’
I thought it was a cruel joke. I was wrong.
I had contracted Covid & I never recovered.

I have been diagnosed with ME/CFS, POTS & MCAS.
I am mostly bed bound & barely able to manage the most basic of tasks.
I have no financial support from from family or government & no supplemental insurance.
I have been unable to work since, after over 2 years my savings have been wiped out & my hope of a spontaneous recovery has dwindled.
I’ve lost my business & my autonomy."
