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.
Psychiatry has caused a lot of delays and damage in the field of #MECFS. A lot of work needs to be done to undo harm from theories such as patients excessively resting, being afraid to exercise, or perpetuating their illness. Dr Nina Muirhead, interview in The Times (2020)
“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.
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.
Congratulations to @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social on her new role Minister for Public Health and Prevention. Sharon has been a strong supporter of people with ME/CFS and has spoken in a number of parliamentary debates. Here are some highlights from a debate in 2019.
“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.
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 a WDR German TV report: Pascal Hilgruber developed ME/CFS following a Covid infection or vaccination. He now spends 80–90% of his day in bed and says being able to go to the toilet on his own feels like an achievement.
“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.

Greg Gutfeld claimed that Trump won the 2020 election. He then demanded that Jessica Tarlov explain court cases that proved Trump didn't win in 30 seconds. I provide examples directly from the $787.5 million defamation settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems.

How much is Trump’s reckless and unauthorized war costing Americans? The estimates are shocking: $29 billion of our tax dollars that could have gone to working families healthcare, childcare, or education $40 billion directly out of your wallet to pay for higher gas prices op: @financialtimes
May Day: There were huge anti Trump protests all across America. Did you hear about it in the corporate media?

"The data that we've gotten from the Pentagon is quite limited. ... While there has been impact, we don't know the scope and scale of it," said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
Did Vance just tell the American public, “We’ve accomplished our objectives?!” Right. Another lie. We went in with four demands: 1.Regime change 2.End nuclear enrichment 3.Eliminate long-range missiles 4.Stop backing Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas
use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.

Nigel Farage recorded a paid endorsement for a Canadian neo-Nazi group. The Guardian has the footage. This is who he is when he thinks no one important is watching. #ReformUK #NigelFarage #Politics

Replying to @chloe_c_84 I agree! So frustrating, but really really sadly, not surprising.

I'm one of those people who believes all these top players are doping on some level anyways. All those supplements they take "legally" & the TUEs are very sus to me.
I've been contacted by local residents about another potential pollution incident in the Loop River. I've informed NIEA and Andrew Muir's office, but both I believe are weak and ineffective. It's not a question of if, but when water quality becomes a risk to human health in NI.

"Go the mighty Maroons!" Lord Pocketsquare exclaimed, attempting to endear himself to the common people by pushing the petition to ban referee Ashley Klein from State of Origin 2. However, he'd badly misfired with his tie & pocketsquare colour choice for this performance. #qldpol
I just watched a drone explode over Maidan at 9 a.m.,, debris is raining down over Freedom Square. Flying drones over a city centre is indiscriminate terror. While the rest of the world starts Monday morning getting ready for work, Ukrainians have to head to bomb shelters.

Protests were held outside County Hall in Lewes today, by those opposed to a potential delay to East Sussex County Council elections under devolution plans. Lib Dem MP, James MacCleary, says it's an attempt to delay judgement on the Conservative’s council record.
