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.

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)
Covid has led to an increase in #MECFS. In Germany, numbers have gone from ~250,000 to over 600,000 since the start of the pandemic. It’s been around for decades, yet many patients still aren’t believed and are given harmful advice by doctors, as one patient reports.

Short German TV clip. Kalea, 17, has lived with #MECFS since 2019. Post-exertional malaise means she must carefully ration her energy, even small activities can trigger a drastic deterioration in symptoms, leaving her unable to see anyone, in a dark, quiet room.
