Helen Gibson and Edward Monroe on BBC Radio 4’s Feedback challenge Suzanne O’Sullivan’s claims that #LongCovid is largely psychosomatic when she was interviewed on Amol Rajan’s podcast. Mentions #MECFS, NICE’s 2021 guidance and DecodeME genetic findings.

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.

“It’s been devastating… it’s capsized my life as a mother.” Jane had to give up her 18yr career to care for her child with #LongCovid MP Jo Platt, who has #LongCovid and #MECFS warns we’ve stopped counting cases so don’t even know the extent of the problem. Clip from ITV News.

Karen Quinn spent most of the 1990s bedbound with #MECFS. “We didn’t have Sky, we didn’t have computers, we didn’t have internet… I just laid there.” (Highland Radio, Ireland)

Emma has #LongCovid and slowly built up to working 30 hours a week over 3 years but had to take sick leave. She then got COVID again and is back to square one. Reinfection risks making Long Covid worse.

BBC Wales Today. Carer and campaigner Rob Messenger, who has two children with #MECFS in their 30s, says there are no specialists to turn to and describes care for Severe and Very Severe ME in Wales as a ‘desert’.

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.

With Suzanne O’Sullivan claiming a ‘large proportion’ of #LongCOVID is psychosomatic on the Amol Rajan podcast, I’m resharing this clip from 2021 of Dr Xand van Tulleken on BBC Morning Live “You can always find some doctor, some professor to give a quote to a paper saying it’s all psychosomatic…”

“To fight for ourselves is dangerous.” @maggieboxey.bsky.social has #MECFS following a suspected Covid infection. In her TEDx talk, she explains that after speaking to Congress, she spent several days in a crash and that if she’s not careful, it could permanently lower her baseline.

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.

It’s OBVIOUS—AIPAC candidates will NEVER be in step with the Democratic base. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social is a prime EXAMPLE: she dismissed U.N. findings that Israel committed genocide & won’t commit to holding Trump accountable.
