After 12 years of warning you about digital dangers and scams, I’m taking an unexpected detour this month for an important reason. (It’s also the reason The Snitch is a day late.)
A few weeks ago, my wife was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), a debilitating condition that causes extreme fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest. Since then, we’ve been completely restructuring our lives to manage this challenging condition.
Because millions of people have CFS—and countless others have it without knowing what’s causing their persistent exhaustion—I decided to share what we’ve learned about traveling with this condition. Whether you personally deal with chronic fatigue or know someone who does, I hope you’ll find this month’s post valuable.
This isn’t about scams, but it is about protecting something precious: quality of life despite limitations. If you appreciate this change of pace, please reply to this email or comment on the post. I’m considering occasionally broadening the focus of these monthly tips in the future while still keeping you safe from scams.
I have fibromyalgia, and it is literally exhausting. I feel for your wife. Traveling is tiring but possible when you schedule breaks.
Thanks for your comment, Christy. Fibromyalgia is brutal, and you have my sympathy! I appreciate the vote of confidence about traveling!
