Clip from a WDR German TV report: Pascal Hilgruber developed ME/CFS following a Covid infection or vaccination. He now spends 80–90% of his day in bed and says being able to go to the toilet on his own feels like an achievement.

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.

Imagine you couldn’t watch television because the sound and colours were too exhausting or needed help just to eat, wash or go to the toilet. This can be a reality for people with a severe form of #LongCovid and #MECFS. Clip from German TV.

Professor Chris Ponting on the 116 blood molecule differences his team found in people with #MECFS “This is not a psychological disease” people did not alter their blood molecules just to “spook the psychiatrists”. Clip from Hope 4 ME & Fibro NI 2026

Intro to a 1993 documentary on #MECFS When medicine doesn’t understand an illness, patients are often mistreated. New discoveries challenge existing beliefs, but in the meantime, for those suffering, life can be a living hell.

#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.

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.

I asked what the Govt's ambition is for access to NHS dentistry. Sadly, the Minister did not answer my question. Of course, we need dental contract reform & training places. But if we are serious about NHS dentistry being accessible to everyone, the Govt's ambition has got to be much greater.

Day 492 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope

Right now, nearly 9 out of 10 Americans disapprove of Congress. That’s not just a statistic, it’s a reflection of how disconnected Washington has become from the people it’s supposed to serve. That’s exactly why I host town halls and why, as your Congressman, I will continue to host them regularly.
