“Chronic fatigue is not the only symptom. It is one symptom amongst so many others.” Dr Ranj explains what ME/CFS is, why the term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome does not reflect the reality of the illness, and why many patients prefer the term ME.

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

Clip 3 BBC Politics North: Luke Akehurst MP says it’s “shocking” that #LongCovid services are being closed when ~2 million people live with the condition and about half consider themselves disabled. Covid is “not yesterday’s problem”, it is still causing events to be cancelled.

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.

Karen Quinn spent most of the 1990s bedbound with #MECFS. “We didn’t have Sky, we didn’t have computers, we didn’t have internet… I just laid there.” (Highland Radio, Ireland)

Clip 2 (WDR German TV): Dr Astrid Weber from the Long Covid Clinic in Koblenz says ME/CFS cases have exploded since Covid. ME/CFS isn’t new — despite being around for decades, many doctors know little about it. She wants to educate them. It’s a physical, not a mental, illness.

BBC Wales Today. Carer and campaigner Rob Messenger, who has two children with #MECFS in their 30s, says there are no specialists to turn to and describes care for Severe and Very Severe ME in Wales as a ‘desert’.

Professor Chris Ponting on the 116 blood molecule differences his team found in people with #MECFS “This is not a psychological disease” people did not alter their blood molecules just to “spook the psychiatrists”. Clip from Hope 4 ME & Fibro NI 2026

Darren Parkinson (@greendarrenshipley.bsky.social) says #LongCovid has “completely devastated” his life. His body feels “poisoned”, the fatigue is 24-7 and overwhelming. He spends most of his time lying down and can only shower once a week.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Gabby Rudge-Cox caught Covid in 2021 and has been diagnosed with #LongCovid #MECFS #Fibromyalgia and #POTS. “I'm gradually getting worse and it just scares me that if it continues to decline, life is going to get even smaller.”
