“Chronic fatigue is not the only symptom. It is one symptom amongst so many others.” Dr Ranj explains what ME/CFS is, why the term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome does not reflect the reality of the illness, and why many patients prefer the term ME.
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
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.
Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.
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
Short German TV clip. #MECFS cases have doubled since 2020, many linked to #LongCovid. Patients describe lives wiped out overnight, years housebound or bedridden, and having to choose between showering or playing with their child.

The reason why Phil Berger lost his primary isn't complicated: he and his family are out of touch, corrupt and arrogant.
A C-SPAN caller identifies himself as "John Barron" (Trump's known past pseudonym), ranting against the Supreme Court's 6-3 tariff ruling and calling Hakeem Jeffries "a dope." It was probably not Trump, but the fact that we can’t completely rule it out says a lot.
A new New York Times/Siena poll shows Donald Trump hitting the lowest approval rating of either of his two terms — 37% approval, 31 points underwater on the economy, and 42 points underwater on the cost of living. Critics say Trump has done nothing to lower costs for everyday Americans.
Donald Trump’s weakness is emboldening Putin. He’s turning his back on our allies, isolating America, and making Americans less safe.

I wish she would just be honest and admit that she wants to date sugar daddies for the rest of her life. I would respect her more for that instead of playing it off like “I am so ready to be financially independent.” It’s so obvious she really doesn’t want to do that, and that’s fine. But own it!!!
