@abrokenbattery

Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how a theory that #MECFS is caused by deconditioning and a fear of exercise permeated medicine and framed the illness as psychological. This led to the patients being neglected, gaslit, and some would say abused. Causing huge trauma for the community.

More from Adam

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.”

“They sometimes aren’t supported by their families. They almost always aren’t supported any longer by their friends.” Caroline Kingdon, on the profound isolation experienced by people with severe #MECFS.

Helen Gibson and Edward Monroe on BBC Radio 4’s Feedback challenge Suzanne O’Sullivan’s claims that #LongCovid is largely psychosomatic when she was interviewed on Amol Rajan’s podcast. Mentions #MECFS, NICE’s 2021 guidance and DecodeME genetic findings.

Hearing the stories of people with #MECFS who took the Decode ME results to their doctors and for the first time were believed is incredibly powerful. Sonya Chowdhury CEO of Action for ME on BBC Lifeline and how they are building on this work to move closer towards treatments.

The CDC made a public awareness ad about #MECFS in 2007. I’m not aware of a similar public health campaign since, despite increasing numbers linked to long Covid and the lack of awareness that exercise can make people worse.

“This is not a life, it is miserable. So how do I feel? Not even human anymore.” A 36-year-old woman with severe #MECFS confined to bed, on oxygen and a feeding tube, unable to tolerate light, sound or vibrations. Clip from Swiss TV

“They’ve had their lives completely demolished by this illness.” Millions are living with #LongCovid while society has moved on. Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social developed #MECFS following Covid and had to retire.

Adam

In response to a question from @ZackPolanski.bsky.social on #LongCovid @DrAmirKhanGP.bsky.social says “I feel really helpless when I see them.” People who were healthy just a few years ago, a lot of them have lost their independence & ability to earn and there’s nothing in place to look after them.

“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.

An interesting woke take on the misogynist conservative men who dress as women. Also possible TERF projection since this mirrors what they say about trans women being a parody of women 2

I'm not sure how many are aware that this is happening. But we should be extremely concerned about this. We should not be integrated with the Israeli military. As a matter of fact, we should've cut Israel off decades ago. But right now, it's imperative to Americas survival.✂️✂️ #SheShed
