administrative updates…

Hi friends,

I’d like to tell you that the title for this post is some deep metaphor for the wisdom I’m about to bestow, but it’s actually very literal. I made some updates to this blog, and they were administrative in nature. How boooooooring.

Formerly, my blog was hosted by WordPress.com, which allows only minor changes. So, I decided to upgrade and self-host a WordPress.org blog. If you read this through an email, please navigate on over to www.dysautonomiac.com and let me know what you think of the design. I’m not sure if I will keep the snail image yet. I took that photo last year in my backyard, and I like the symbolism (I move slowly and often feel like I carry a huge weight on my back), but it seems rather bleak.

The wide margins annoy the crap out of me, so I’m working on fixing that.

One thing I do want to point out is the Antidote search portal on the left sidebar that says: “Let’s find cures together.” If you type in your illness and your location, you can search for clinical studies seeking participants for your illness. In the interest of full disclosure, I did receive an Amazon gift card for adding that search portal, but I have also already used it to search for studies for my and my mother’s illnesses. I am not able to see what information you enter, so don’t worry about that.
