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.”

“It’s been devastating… it’s capsized my life as a mother.” Jane had to give up her 18yr career to care for her child with #LongCovid MP Jo Platt, who has #LongCovid and #MECFS warns we’ve stopped counting cases so don’t even know the extent of the problem. Clip from ITV News.
I’ve just donated to @DavidTuller1.bsky.social’s crowdfunding campaign again. I really hope his work investigating #MECFS, #LongCovid can continue. These highlights sum it up… Everything they’ve done for 30 years is not only “bad science” it’s actually been “really harmful” to people.
Jo Platt MP, who lives with #MECFS and #LongCovid, told UK Parliament the COVID-19 Inquiry found Long Covid was repeatedly dismissed despite affecting nearly 2 million people. She asked the Government what steps it will take to act on the Inquiry’s findings, 23 April 2025.
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.
#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 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
BBC Morning Live covered the new £4.75m UK government funded #MEcfs genetics study yesterday, which will sequence 6,000 DNA samples as part of the wider DecodeME project. Unfortunately, Dr Oscar Duke said Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is “probably the best way to describe” the illness.
