Short German TV clip. Kalea, 17, has lived with #MECFS since 2019. Post-exertional malaise means she must carefully ration her energy, even small activities can trigger a drastic deterioration in symptoms, leaving her unable to see anyone, in a dark, quiet room.
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.
Short German TV clip. #MECFS cases have doubled since 2020, many linked to #LongCovid. Patients describe lives wiped out overnight, years housebound or bedridden, and having to choose between showering or playing with their child.

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.
“She actually asked me a couple of times, you know, am I going to die? She felt so unwell.” Isla is 10 and developed #MECFS after a COVID infection. She is 95% housebound and just wants to “have fun and do things with her friends”. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME
