#MECFS is a “medical” and a “social catastrophe.” — Jörg Heydecke, founder of Germany’s ME/CFS Research Foundation. One patient waited 19 years for a diagnosis. Another said she was told her symptoms were psychological and that she needed to get on with it.

George Monbiot describes the treatment of #MECFS as “The Greatest Medical Scandal of the 21st century”. Repost of the introduction to my 27-minute explainer video for #MEAwarenessMonth — now optimised for phones.

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.

“So what you’re really telling us is that everything we’ve been taught in our training as nurses is wrong for this condition.” Dr Nigel Speight describing a nurse’s reaction after he explained how to care for a patient with severe #MECFS.

Olympian Montell Douglas presenting BBC Lifeline for Action for ME “For years, I’ve had chronic pain due to a medical condition and know how difficult it can be to live with. And those with ME also have to deal with social stigma and a lack of support.” #MECFS

Clip from yesterday’s BBC South report about the #MECFS Alliance event on the future of #MECFS and #LongCOVID research. Sam, an ME patient, says the government failing to fund further research after the success of DecodeME is “absolutely disgraceful”.

#MECFS patients and advocates not only had to fight flawed research and harmful treatments, they also had to deal with attempts to discredit them, like a PACE author calling an MP “unbecoming” and accusing MPs of defamation and libellous comments for scrutinising his work.

Jo Platt MP, who lives with #MECFS and #LongCovid, told UK Parliament the COVID-19 Inquiry found Long Covid was repeatedly dismissed despite affecting nearly 2 million people. She asked the Government what steps it will take to act on the Inquiry’s findings, 23 April 2025.

“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

Patients with #MECFS in Living Hell (1993) describe their interactions with doctors. “Drug addict” “Alcoholic” “School phobia” “210 doctors told me I was crazy” Patients still report similar experiences today.

Posted 20 hrs ago "_paperplanet_: A call has the power to save a life & this is especially true for queer #kids. Trump cut that line, then erased every mention of #trans and #queer people from 360 #government records. Through this hotline trained counselors, picked up the phone..." Thread 2 👇

Days before Memorial Day, Trump waved off the 13 Americans lost in his war of choice with Iran—"somebody else would have lost 100,000 people"—reducing 13 grieving families to a talking point.

𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: NFL insider Jason McCourty says that AJ Brown to the Patriots is "almost a done deal." "All the people on the inside that they know continue to echo the same sentiment that it’s almost a done deal that he’s gonna be a New England Patriot." (via > @UpAndAdamsShow) Original post

Lego the Epstein Files, WWE '26 Trumps back on truth social!

U.S. @duckworth.senate.gov (D-IL) questions the Trump administration's reasoning for going to war with Iran. "I am deeply concerned that I don't think the Trump administration knows what their own goal line is, either."

use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.

The treatment of detainees inside Delaney Hall is appalling. Lack of medical care. Insufficient and sometimes infested food. Overflowing sewage, overcrowding, no outdoor time, and blatant retaliation.

Someone Doing the right thing Sons of Confederate Veterans were to begin their ceremony honoring Confederate soldiers buried at Camp Chase Cemetery Monday afternoon, a real patriot began to read a statement decrying the Confederate battle flag as a symbol of degeneracy, depravity, and perversion.

This is the only 3 second clip you will ever need to explain why Trump did something or said something when you realize how simple he is - everything starts to make sense everyone is always trying to "explain" the reason he did something, how it hurts others blah blah blah he doesn't care

I've already mentioned they were Ice officers and mercenaries. Israeli United States futures act of 2026 brought to the floor by Kristen Gillibrand would merge the US and Israeli military. They would share everything. This is a silent takeover of America by the Zionists.
