“They’re in a darkened room, they can’t tolerate light or sound… some are even tube fed. They’re so unwell, you almost can’t fathom it” Former Team GB rower @oonagh_cousins on people with very severe #MECFS and #LongCovid and the importance to advocate for those who can’t.

More from Adam

Clip from German public broadcaster ZDF’s science programme MAITHINK X – Die Show discussing claims made by the Gupta Programme, a brain-retraining approach for ME/CFS.

Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how a theory that #MECFS is caused by deconditioning and a fear of exercise permeated medicine and framed the illness as psychological. This led to the patients being neglected, gaslit, and some would say abused. Causing huge trauma for the community.

Wes Streeting wants GPs to stop writing so many sick notes and send people to the gym. Worth remembering Brynmor John MP had #MECFS and died on Westminster Bridge in 1988 after exercising in the House of Commons gym. He had been advised to exercise his way back to fitness.

Clip from the Death Clock Podcast - Dr Leonard Jason explains why healthcare professionals often interpret post-acute infection syndromes as “psychological” — and how patients are traumatised not only by the illness itself, but by people’s reactions to it as well.

Patients with #MECFS in Living Hell (1993) describe their interactions with doctors. “Drug addict” “Alcoholic” “School phobia” “210 doctors told me I was crazy” Patients still report similar experiences today.

6 years since the first UK lockdown. #LongCovid hasn’t gone away. ONS estimates from 2024 suggest ~2 million people in England & Scotland. Every infection carries a ~1 in 50 chance of developing long Covid that could last anything from four weeks to being effectively permanent.

“They’ve had their lives completely demolished by this illness.” Millions are living with #LongCovid while society has moved on. Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social developed #MECFS following Covid and had to retire.

#MECFS mentioned briefly in yesterday’s parliamentary debate on EDS. Liz Twist MP highlights EDS overlaps with ME/CFS, MCAS and PoTS, and Minister Sharon Hodgson says the NIHR is already expanding its work on overlapping conditions including ME/CFS and post-viral syndromes.

Olympian Montell Douglas presenting BBC Lifeline for Action for ME “For years, I’ve had chronic pain due to a medical condition and know how difficult it can be to live with. And those with ME also have to deal with social stigma and a lack of support.” #MECFS

E. Jean Carroll beat Trump twice. Won $83.3M. So now his henchmen at the DOJ are coming for her. The same department shielding the powerful is targeting the survivor who refused to stay silent. It’s a threat. Call it out. It’s disgraceful.

Cuando escuchas "vivienda protegida" piensas en un alquiler que por fin puedes pagar. Pero la realidad es distinta. En Madrid: Un piso de 70 m2 en el Plan Vive exige ingresos mínimos de 37.000 al año. Si el salario más frecuente en España es de 15.575 €, ¿a quién está protegiendo realmente?
