Almost too much…
At the end of last year when I usually do my Brain Matters fundraiser, I was starting to have several physical problems. I wasn’t able to talk louder than a whisper. At first, I thought it was due to a cold, or a virus, or worst-case scenario COVID, because at that time that’s what everyone […]
