“She actually asked me a couple of times, you know, am I going to die? She felt so unwell.” Isla is 10 and developed #MECFS after a COVID infection. She is 95% housebound and just wants to “have fun and do things with her friends”. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME

Intro to a 1993 documentary on #MECFS When medicine doesn’t understand an illness, patients are often mistreated. New discoveries challenge existing beliefs, but in the meantime, for those suffering, life can be a living hell.

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…”

Emma Shorter was told people who don’t recover from behavioral treatment for #MECFS have made the illness their personality. She was told not to meet other patients and to trust the therapist over her own body. She went from walking 4 mins a day to needing a wheelchair.

Olympian Montell Douglas presenting BBC Lifeline for Action for ME “For years, I’ve had chronic pain due to a medical condition and know how difficult it can be to live with. And those with ME also have to deal with social stigma and a lack of support.” #MECFS

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.

Gabby Rudge-Cox caught Covid in 2021 and has been diagnosed with #LongCOVID #MECFS #Fibromyalgia and #POTS. Her husband had to give up his job as a policeman after a Covid infection as well ”it has ruined our lives”.

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.

#MECFS “is a real hidden illness and it can shrink lives” Fliss and Rob Shepley spoke on BBC Radio Merseyside about their upcoming Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle ride to raise funds for the ME Association. They are taking on the challenge for their daughter, who lives with #MECFS

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 all connected. The pedophiles that run mainstream media wanted Trump in office to protect each other. It was never that Trump is a better president. Every one in his cabinet is connected to Epstein. He knows this day will come when they all have to protect each other.

It was great to join BBC Radio Oxford yesterday to take calls from listeners. I am so pleased to see progress on Lodge Hill after many years of campaigning on this issue by local residents and Oxfordshire Lib Dems. The works will greatly improve congestion around Abingdon.

Jane Tang Grossman "Happy Wednesday to you! 6.3.26"

The brown treesnake has no predators, a voracious appetite for birds/eggs & populations exploded to 2 million. Today, there are 10 times as many snakes as people on Guam. Thomas Seibert captured this video of their ability to climb nest boxes designed to be snake-proof, by looping their body.

I have to admit, I’m super curious about the vibe in the Indian Fever locker room these days. I could see it being miserable but I also think it’s highly possible we are all blowing this way out of proportion and everything is just fine.
