Imagine you couldn’t watch television because the sound and colours were too exhausting or needed help just to eat, wash or go to the toilet. This can be a reality for people with a severe form of #LongCovid and #MECFS. Clip from German TV.

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
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.
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.
“They’ve grown up with me always being ill and I feel that I’ve let them down because of that.” Andrea has lived with severe #MECFS for 33 years and is confined to bed nearly 24 hours a day. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME
Highlights from BBC Radio Gloucester. Helen Stout, who has lived with ME since 2020, and Clare Ogden from @actionforme.bsky.social say the UK government’s £4.75m research investment is welcome, but a ‘drop in the ocean’.
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.”
Brief clip: Whoopi Goldberg raises concerns about #LongCovid on The View. She says one of her employees’ mothers has the condition and can no longer go out to do her job, so now works from home. She also raises concerns about the CDC.
“Having ME is not a choice.” A 37-year-old woman with severe #MECFS says the disability assessment process in Switzerland is “simply dangerous and unsuitable for people like us”. Clip from Swiss TV on severe #MECFS.
Clip 2 from Austrian TV report about Samuel ME/CFS was largely ignored in Austria until Covid. The hallmark symptom is that exertion can make the illness worse. Many doctors are completely unaware, even though patients have been saying this for decades. #MECFS #LongCovid
Edited clip from German TV: 14-year-old Philipp developed ME/CFS following a Covid infection. He hasn’t been to school in a year and barely sees his friends. His mother says we have never felt so helpless in our entire lives. #MECFS #LongCovid

$60 to fill up a PRIUS in Ohio. A PRIUS. She bought a hybrid to save money and Trump’s war ate that too. Every time she gets ahead — BAM. Pulled back 7 steps. She’s trying to build a house, trying to live, and he started a war nobody asked for. #TrumpsGasFailure

“He was so disingenuous in this interview.” @profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social react to Jeff Bezos’ argument that it wouldn’t help ordinary Americans if he paid more taxes.
Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

U.S. @duckworth.senate.gov (D-IL) questions the Trump administration's reasoning for going to war with Iran. "I am deeply concerned that I don't think the Trump administration knows what their own goal line is, either."
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.

Someone Doing the right thing Sons of Confederate Veterans were to begin their ceremony honoring Confederate soldiers buried at Camp Chase Cemetery Monday afternoon, a real patriot began to read a statement decrying the Confederate battle flag as a symbol of degeneracy, depravity, and perversion.

Wings lead the WNBA in % of rim FG assisted at 71.95% (pbp). Sometimes it's the offball stuff. They take away the rotation help on both sides for an eventual rim FG: strongside corner lifts up, stackside flare screen draws up the other big defender, leaving no help at the rim.
