Professor Chris Ponting on how findings from the largest genetic study in #MECFS show “there is an organic disease called ME”. “We’ve had letters from GPs saying we have changed their minds” Clip from Hope 4 ME & Fibro NI Collaboration

Clip #MECFS 1993: Many believed it was psychological or simply depression, as many still do today. A patient also describes her frustration at appearing well but “paying for it for weeks” afterwards. An early description of post-exertional malaise.

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.”

Caroline Kingdon speaking about functional impairment and mortality in #MECFS Biobank research has shown people with ME/CFS to be more functionally impaired than people with MS. And between 2001–2016, ME/CFS was mentioned on 88 death certificates in England and Wales.

TW: Jon Stewart recently joked about hantavirus coverage and said: “this virus can cause Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, mostly amongst the experts who have to repeatedly answer the same questions.”

“The injustice of it, I couldn’t believe it.” Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social talking about the #MECFS “scandal” where patients were told they were deconditioned and needed Graded Exercise and CBT. It is the “opposite of what they needed” and that legacy still runs “super deep”.

“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

Clip 2 (WDR German TV): Dr Astrid Weber from the Long Covid Clinic in Koblenz says ME/CFS cases have exploded since Covid. ME/CFS isn’t new — despite being around for decades, many doctors know little about it. She wants to educate them. It’s a physical, not a mental, illness.

“They’ve grown up with me always being ill and I feel that I’ve let them down because of that.” Andrea has lived with severe #MECFS for 33 years and is confined to bed nearly 24 hours a day. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME

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

This looks odd and a bit conspiratorial, but the metal detectors keep going off. So there appears to be something to it.

$1.5 trillion for the military? 🤯 That budget is massive, but imagine if we pivoted that towards universal healthcare. We could fully fund primary care, eliminate medical debt, and lower prescription costs for every single person. 🏥💊 ​Is it time to prioritize our health over hardware? #health

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
