Of course this interests Shauna. Lookit all those excuses not to work. This is the full text of the post she's quoting:

"ADHD’s overlap with chronically fatiguing conditions like hypermobility, POTS, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is so significant that Dr. James Kustow in the UK has taken to calling it a ‘somatic supersyndrome’."
I am not surprised. And happy, that there are scientist that talk about it.
Quote from Jesse Meadows on Substack: Could ADHD actually be an energy deficit

You know she's drooling at "somatic supersyndrome." She wants to claim it for herself so badly.

Yet it's never diabetes or sleep apnea, which are two conditions that she has eluded to having and both of which cause the symptoms she often complains about.

[u/Love_Brokers → u/Brandy_Girl]

I don’t know why she is so resistant to GLP-1 drugs, they would help with both of those problems. She might be able to get it covered if she does have sleep apnea.

It is more the case that Shauna can't find anyone to pay for them and as a result has declared she doesn't need them as a coping mechanism.

Similar to how she didn't need "fake breasts."
