“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

Clip #MECFS 1993: Many believed it was psychological or simply depression, as many still do today. A patient also describes her frustration at appearing well but “paying for it for weeks” afterwards. An early description of post-exertional malaise.

Jo Platt MP, who lives with #MECFS and #LongCovid, told UK Parliament the COVID-19 Inquiry found Long Covid was repeatedly dismissed despite affecting nearly 2 million people. She asked the Government what steps it will take to act on the Inquiry’s findings, 23 April 2025.

In response to a question from @ZackPolanski.bsky.social on #LongCovid @DrAmirKhanGP.bsky.social says “I feel really helpless when I see them.” People who were healthy just a few years ago, a lot of them have lost their independence & ability to earn and there’s nothing in place to look after them.

#MECFS mentioned briefly in yesterday’s parliamentary debate on EDS. Liz Twist MP highlights EDS overlaps with ME/CFS, MCAS and PoTS, and Minister Sharon Hodgson says the NIHR is already expanding its work on overlapping conditions including ME/CFS and post-viral syndromes.

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.

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.

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.

BBC Morning Live addresses complaints after Dr Oscar Duke said that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was “probably the best way to describe” the illness. Feedback from viewers outlines how it trivialises the illness, is just one symptom, and it does not reflect the reality of #MECFS.

Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.
