Emma Shorter was told people who don’t recover from behavioral treatment for #MECFS have made the illness their personality. She was told not to meet other patients and to trust the therapist over her own body. She went from walking 4 mins a day to needing a wheelchair.

“It’s been devastating… it’s capsized my life as a mother.” Jane had to give up her 18yr career to care for her child with #LongCovid MP Jo Platt, who has #LongCovid and #MECFS warns we’ve stopped counting cases so don’t even know the extent of the problem. Clip from ITV News.

“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.

BBC Morning Live covered the new £4.75m UK government funded #MEcfs genetics study yesterday, which will sequence 6,000 DNA samples as part of the wider DecodeME project. Unfortunately, Dr Oscar Duke said Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is “probably the best way to describe” the illness.

Covid has led to an increase in #MECFS. In Germany, numbers have gone from ~250,000 to over 600,000 since the start of the pandemic. It’s been around for decades, yet many patients still aren’t believed and are given harmful advice by doctors, as one patient reports.

Sleep hygiene can be just as “damaging as graded exercise” for patients with #MECFS Dr Nigel Speight describes a girl with severe sleep reversal. She walked into hospital and was carried out a month later needing to be tube fed.

Clip from yesterday’s BBC South report about the #MECFS Alliance event on the future of #MECFS and #LongCOVID research. Sam, an ME patient, says the government failing to fund further research after the success of DecodeME is “absolutely disgraceful”.

6 years on from Covid, BBC Look North highlights the ongoing impact of #LongCovid. Reporter Cathy Minton says it’s personal, her husband Tom hasn’t improved in a year. He still can’t care for his toddler or go for walks. @franhaddock.bsky.social says new people continue to get long Covid.

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

“Waking up, it’s like you’ve been hit by a truck. Everything’s shaking, vibrating internally. My brain feels inflamed, it’s like you’ve got a concussion.” Rhi has had #MEcfs for over 20 years.

Are too many people going to university? The Scotsman's Education Correspondent, Catriona Stewart, reacts to Malcolm Offord's comments on university attendance in Scotland. She asks if it is, in fact, the right destination for everyone.

“Investing in global health preparedness, supporting international coordination through organizations like WHO and strengthening local health systems are not acts of charity,” stresses IDSA spokesperson krutikakuppalli.bsky.social. Watch our new press briefing: https://bit.ly/4eXKLF1

“Is there anyone that is an ethics firewall left at the DOJ?” The former head of the DOJ’s ethics office, Joseph Tirrell, who advised then-Attorney General Bondi & Deputy Attorney General Blanche before being fired without explanation, lays out what it means when the ethics staff has been gutted.
