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.

TW: Jon Stewart recently joked about hantavirus coverage and said: “this virus can cause Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, mostly amongst the experts who have to repeatedly answer the same questions.”

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.

Wes Streeting wants GPs to stop writing so many sick notes and send people to the gym. Worth remembering Brynmor John MP had #MECFS and died on Westminster Bridge in 1988 after exercising in the House of Commons gym. He had been advised to exercise his way back to fitness.

Patients with #MECFS in Living Hell (1993) describe their interactions with doctors. “Drug addict” “Alcoholic” “School phobia” “210 doctors told me I was crazy” Patients still report similar experiences today.

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.

6 years on from Covid, BBC Look North highlights the ongoing impact of #LongCovid. Reporter Cathy Minton says it’s personal, her husband Tom hasn’t improved in a year. He still can’t care for his toddler or go for walks. @franhaddock.bsky.social says new people continue to get long Covid.

Post exertional malaise (PEM) is the hallmark symptom of #MECFS It’s not fatigue following activity. It is a dramatic deterioration and worsening of symptoms. Short video explainer - triggers, symptoms, and management. Repost for the last day of #MEAwarenessMonth

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

“She actually asked me a couple of times, you know, am I going to die? She felt so unwell.” Isla is 10 and developed #MECFS after a COVID infection. She is 95% housebound and just wants to “have fun and do things with her friends”. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME
