The "Millions Missing" and Artistic Reinvention with Cory & Greg Wyszynski

From Out of the Blue - The Podcast: Finding the Way Forward · 48:49

Show by Vernon West

We’re joined by father and son artists Cory and Greg Wyszynski for a raw, funny, and deeply human conversation about what happens when life changes the rules but you still find the urge to be creative, and how creativity doesn’t always look like a blank canvas and unlimited time. Cory walks us through the long, often misunderstood reality of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and how long COVID can reactivate an already fragile system. He shares moments that are hard to forget: years of symptoms that didn’t fit, nocturnal seizures that stole restorative sleep, and a lockdown collapse that exposed how scary it can be to need urgent help during a public health crisis. Along the way, we talk stigma, mislabeling, and why “normal” test results can be a trap.Greg brings the other side of the story, describing what it means to become your adult child’s caregiver and how love turns into daily practice. He also tells us how he reinvented himself as a painter and abstract artist later in life. We connect their personal journeys to the broader “Millions Missing” movement and Cory’s advocacy work with ME Action.Support ME Action: https://www.meaction.netCory's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/39fa7b28bGreg's Paintings: https://wizardofpaint.comSupport the showOut Of The Blue:Exclusive content: outoftheblue-thepodcast.org/blog
