12-yr-old Aveline loved trapeze and sports. Long Covid changed everything. “Within a day my entire life was flipped around… it’s been a constant battle against my own body.” “It’s really isolating. All my friends go to school together and I would give anything to be there.”

“So what you’re really telling us is that everything we’ve been taught in our training as nurses is wrong for this condition.” Dr Nigel Speight describing a nurse’s reaction after he explained how to care for a patient with severe #MECFS.

“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

Clip from Radio New Zealand: A former city councillor describes the impact of #LongCOVID. Going from a busy, active life to, at her worst, living on her couch unable to walk, using a commode beside her.

Channel 4 coverage of the new £4.75M UK government funding for SequenceME. “For decades, many people with ME have been told it is in their heads… But now, a new project will look for the answer in our very DNA, with the world’s first genomic study into ME.” #MECFS

“It made me much worse… Most people I know with ME have exactly the same experience with it.” Annette Barclay, a patient with #MEcfs describing her deterioration following Graded Exercise Therapy.

“Having ME is not a choice.” A 37-year-old woman with severe #MECFS says the disability assessment process in Switzerland is “simply dangerous and unsuitable for people like us”. Clip from Swiss TV on severe #MECFS.

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.

“I don’t think I can think of another condition that would be treated this way.” Dr Anna Brooks, Liggins Institute. A powerful opening to Zoe Madden-Smith’s award-winning RE:News documentary on #MECFS

Dr Charles Shepherd (@meassociation.org.uk) explains how in the 80s and 90s psychiatrists claimed #MECFS was due to “deconditioning” and “abnormal illness beliefs”. Graded exercise therapy made many patients worse, with some ending up in wheelchairs. It was only removed from NICE guidance in 2021.

Menstrual stigma socially conditions women to conceal pain, push through it and stay silent at work. Statutory menstrual leave is not a radical policy, it is a practical, compassionate and long-overdue step towards a fairer and healthier working society.

Unbegleitete Flüchtlinge würden „unsere Kinder umbringen“, brüllt Susanne Fürst von der #FPÖ im Nationalrat. In den Kommentarspalten ihrer Social-Media-Kanäle wird ihr dafür applaudiert. Die blanke Menschenverachtung ist mitten im Parlament angekommen.
