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.

Congratulations to @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social on her new role Minister for Public Health and Prevention. Sharon has been a strong supporter of people with ME/CFS and has spoken in a number of parliamentary debates. Here are some highlights from a debate in 2019.

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’.

George Monbiot describes the treatment of #MECFS as “The Greatest Medical Scandal of the 21st century”. Repost of the introduction to my 27-minute explainer video for #MEAwarenessMonth — now optimised for phones.

Professor Chris Ponting on how findings from the largest genetic study in #MECFS show “there is an organic disease called ME”. “We’ve had letters from GPs saying we have changed their minds” Clip from Hope 4 ME & Fibro NI Collaboration

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.

Highlights from BBC Radio Gloucester. Helen Stout, who has lived with ME since 2020, and Clare Ogden from @actionforme.bsky.social say the UK government’s £4.75m research investment is welcome, but a ‘drop in the ocean’.

“They’ve grown up with me always being ill and I feel that I’ve let them down because of that.” Andrea has lived with severe #MECFS for 33 years and is confined to bed nearly 24 hours a day. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME

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.”

Lotte has lived with #LongCOVID for 6 years. At her worst she spent 22 hrs a day in bed and was unable to hold a conversation. She worries about her future as the Dutch government doesn’t treat it as a priority and not enough is being done to help her take part in society again.

Kash Patel brought at least one case of his personalized bourbon to the FBI's training facility for a seminar with UFC athletes. At least 1 bottle went missing, which caused the FBI Director to "lose his mind." Patel began threatening to polygraph and prosecute his staff over the missing bottle.

The courage of the Iranian people is humbling. The brutal response by the security forces is unacceptable and exposes a regime afraid of its own people. The EU already has sweeping sanctions in place on Iran. We are now discussing putting additional sanctions.

Best laugh of the day.
