Psychiatry has caused a lot of delays and damage in the field of #MECFS. A lot of work needs to be done to undo harm from theories such as patients excessively resting, being afraid to exercise, or perpetuating their illness. Dr Nina Muirhead, interview in The Times (2020)

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.”

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

“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

Nikki Proctor on BBC Radio 4’s Feedback says she was surprised Amol Rajan didn’t raise #MECFS with Suzanne O’Sullivan on his podcast, after O’Sullivan said #LongCOVID was largely psychosomatic, given the “backlash and criticism of her position” on #MECFS.

Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how a theory that #MECFS is caused by deconditioning and a fear of exercise permeated medicine and framed the illness as psychological. This led to the patients being neglected, gaslit, and some would say abused. Causing huge trauma for the community.

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.

Tomos is bedbound with Severe #MECFS. His mother says at his worst he looked as if he was “paralysed”, “a dead weight”, unable to open his eyes, talk or move. Clip from BBC Wales Today.

Darren Parkinson (@greendarrenshipley.bsky.social) says #LongCovid has “completely devastated” his life. His body feels “poisoned”, the fatigue is 24-7 and overwhelming. He spends most of his time lying down and can only shower once a week.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Edited Clip from BBC inside science ME/CFS diary: Jo @therealmecfs.bsky.social talks through a week with #MECFS: showering once a week, rationing mental and physical energy, pacing carefully, and experiencing post-exertional malaise if she exceeds her limits.

Open competition for power in our politics has its downside. We need some countervailing institutions to slow the rise of psychopaths to the top and to focus democracy on what kind of future we want rather than on which memes can be got to fly.

The sound of a city should be human, not mechanical. The city is an organism that has been turned into an engine room and a transit hub. Yesterday I was at various locations right next to busy (car-)roads. It was exhausting to wait for the human sounds to take over: Not until late in the evening.
