“So what you’re really telling us is that everything we’ve been taught in our training as nurses is wrong for this condition.” Dr Nigel Speight describing a nurse’s reaction after he explained how to care for a patient with severe #MECFS.

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.

The CDC made a public awareness ad about #MECFS in 2007. I’m not aware of a similar public health campaign since, despite increasing numbers linked to long Covid and the lack of awareness that exercise can make people worse.

Clip from the Death Clock Podcast - Dr Leonard Jason explains why healthcare professionals often interpret post-acute infection syndromes as “psychological” — and how patients are traumatised not only by the illness itself, but by people’s reactions to it as well.

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.

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.

Clip 3 BBC Politics North: Luke Akehurst MP says it’s “shocking” that #LongCovid services are being closed when ~2 million people live with the condition and about half consider themselves disabled. Covid is “not yesterday’s problem”, it is still causing events to be cancelled.

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.

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.

#MECFS is a “medical” and a “social catastrophe.” — Jörg Heydecke, founder of Germany’s ME/CFS Research Foundation. One patient waited 19 years for a diagnosis. Another said she was told her symptoms were psychological and that she needed to get on with it.
