Gabby Rudge-Cox caught Covid in 2021 and has been diagnosed with #LongCOVID #MECFS #Fibromyalgia and #POTS. Her husband had to give up his job as a policeman after a Covid infection as well ”it has ruined our lives”.

Clip from BBC Politics North: A GP describes how #LongCovid ended her career after she needed a wheelchair within a year of contracting the virus. She says patients are being forgotten by politicians and the NHS as the last dedicated clinic in the area prepares to close.

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.

With Suzanne O’Sullivan claiming a ‘large proportion’ of #LongCOVID is psychosomatic on the Amol Rajan podcast, I’m resharing this clip from 2021 of Dr Xand van Tulleken on BBC Morning Live “You can always find some doctor, some professor to give a quote to a paper saying it’s all psychosomatic…”

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.

Sleep hygiene can be just as “damaging as graded exercise” for patients with #MECFS Dr Nigel Speight describes a girl with severe sleep reversal. She walked into hospital and was carried out a month later needing to be tube fed.

“Having earned my living as an inventor and a thinker, having limits on my thinking is pretty awful.” Mark, a retired technologist, developed #MECFS after catching chickenpox in the mid-80s and gradually became more disabled. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME

“They’re in a darkened room, they can’t tolerate light or sound… some are even tube fed. They’re so unwell, you almost can’t fathom it” Former Team GB rower @oonagh_cousins on people with very severe #MECFS and #LongCovid and the importance to advocate for those who can’t.

TW: Assisted Suicide Clip from German TV. Kim has #MECFS and describes how her illness has progressed, leaving her bedbound and sensitive to light and sound. At 25, she talks about her decision to apply for assisted suicide, saying she can no longer live like this.

Post exertional malaise (PEM) is the hallmark symptom of #MECFS It’s not fatigue following activity. It is a dramatic deterioration and worsening of symptoms. Short video explainer - triggers, symptoms, and management. Repost for the last day of #MEAwarenessMonth

The Senate passed a bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And we did it with the unanimous consent of ALL 100 SENATORS. Speaker Johnson refused to vote on this bill and chose to continue holding TSA hostage and to continue Trump's chaos.

Trump and Noem took resources away from critical DHS programs to boost ICE’s terror in our communities. At House Democrats' Minnesota hearing, I spoke with Mendota Heights Police Chief Kelly McCarthy on how this was never about safety.

For a long time, I believed I needed every answer to start a project. I spent too long 'planning,' masking fear. But success belongs to those bold enough to try. As Twain said, trade overthinking for confidence. This vibrant bird reminds us to stay daring, visible, and move ahead. 🚁✨

The sound of a city should be human, not mechanical. The city is an organism that has been turned into an engine room and a transit hub. Yesterday I was at various locations right next to busy (car-)roads. It was exhausting to wait for the human sounds to take over: Not until late in the evening.
