Hello, John. I am new to Connect. This is my very first attempt at using this chat room and I would like to ask you: How do I chat with people who have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I also would appreciate chatting with someone who has taken ketamine treatment because of major depression. I would like to know about the risks related to ketamine. I struggle a lot with both CFS and depression. Thank you so much.
All my best,
Christiania
