Clip #MECFS 1993: Many believed it was psychological or simply depression, as many still do today. A patient also describes her frustration at appearing well but “paying for it for weeks” afterwards. An early description of post-exertional malaise.
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.
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
6 years since the first UK lockdown. #LongCovid hasn’t gone away. ONS estimates from 2024 suggest ~2 million people in England & Scotland. Every infection carries a ~1 in 50 chance of developing long Covid that could last anything from four weeks to being effectively permanent.
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.
#MECFS patients and advocates not only had to fight flawed research and harmful treatments, they also had to deal with attempts to discredit them, like a PACE author calling an MP “unbecoming” and accusing MPs of defamation and libellous comments for scrutinising his work.
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.
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.”
Clip from Radio New Zealand: A former city councillor describes the impact of #LongCOVID. Going from a busy, active life to, at her worst, living on her couch unable to walk, using a commode beside her.
“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.

Waiving some small historical debts and providing compensation for illegal income apportionment is welcome, but it's just scratching the surface. The govt needs to implement the Robodebt Royal Commission recommendations now and get to work on creating a social security system that lifts us all up.
