“They sometimes aren’t supported by their families. They almost always aren’t supported any longer by their friends.” Caroline Kingdon, on the profound isolation experienced by people with severe #MECFS.

Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.

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.

“Having earned my living as an inventor and a thinker, having limits on my thinking is pretty awful.” Mark, a retired technologist, developed #MECFS after catching chickenpox in the mid-80s and gradually became more disabled. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME

In response to a question from @ZackPolanski.bsky.social on #LongCovid @DrAmirKhanGP.bsky.social says “I feel really helpless when I see them.” People who were healthy just a few years ago, a lot of them have lost their independence & ability to earn and there’s nothing in place to look after them.

Lotte has lived with #LongCOVID for 6 years. At her worst she spent 22 hrs a day in bed and was unable to hold a conversation. She worries about her future as the Dutch government doesn’t treat it as a priority and not enough is being done to help her take part in society again.

Clip from yesterday’s BBC South report about the #MECFS Alliance event on the future of #MECFS and #LongCOVID research. Sam, an ME patient, says the government failing to fund further research after the success of DecodeME is “absolutely disgraceful”.

“The injustice of it, I couldn’t believe it.” Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social talking about the #MECFS “scandal” where patients were told they were deconditioned and needed Graded Exercise and CBT. It is the “opposite of what they needed” and that legacy still runs “super deep”.

12-yr-old Aveline loved trapeze and sports. Long Covid changed everything. “Within a day my entire life was flipped around… it’s been a constant battle against my own body.” “It’s really isolating. All my friends go to school together and I would give anything to be there.”

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.”

Ontario is funding more IVF clinics, but geography remains a barrier. Dr. Prati Sharma, president of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, tells @jeyantvo.bsky.social northern patients often face repeated travel and thousands in extra costs. Tonight at 8pm | Producer: @carrletta.bsky.social

Last year, the Admin illegally terminated thousands of grants at the NEA and NEH—agencies that help generate more than $1 TRILLION in economic activity. These cuts don’t just silence voices and stymie creators. They erase the spaces where healing, connection, and community happen. It’s just WRONG!
