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.

As George Monbiot says in this clip @davetuller1.bsky.social’s work was “absolutely crucial” in helping him understand the problems with #MEcfs research when writing his seminal article. I’ve just donated to David’s crowdfunding campaign to help keep his work going.
What is #MECFS? A brief overview of symptoms, diagnosis and management based on the 2021 NICE guideline. It’s not being tired all the time, patients have an energy impairment that dramatically limits their activity.
