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.

Wes Streeting wants GPs to stop writing so many sick notes and send people to the gym. Worth remembering Brynmor John MP had #MECFS and died on Westminster Bridge in 1988 after exercising in the House of Commons gym. He had been advised to exercise his way back to fitness.

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.

“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

Psychiatry has caused a lot of delays and damage in the field of #MECFS. A lot of work needs to be done to undo harm from theories such as patients excessively resting, being afraid to exercise, or perpetuating their illness. Dr Nina Muirhead, interview in The Times (2020)

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.

#MECFS “is a real hidden illness and it can shrink lives” Fliss and Rob Shepley spoke on BBC Radio Merseyside about their upcoming Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle ride to raise funds for the ME Association. They are taking on the challenge for their daughter, who lives with #MECFS

Clip 2 from BBC Politics North: Dr Margaret O’Hara of Long Covid Support warns the condition is being “swept under the carpet” as clinics in the North East are set to close. Long Covid expert Dr Rae Duncan says Covid is not over and cases of long Covid are rising.

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 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.
