Intro to a 1993 documentary on #MECFS When medicine doesn’t understand an illness, patients are often mistreated. New discoveries challenge existing beliefs, but in the meantime, for those suffering, life can be a living hell.

Brief clip: Whoopi Goldberg raises concerns about #LongCovid on The View. She says one of her employees’ mothers has the condition and can no longer go out to do her job, so now works from home. She also raises concerns about the CDC.

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.

“Waking up, it’s like you’ve been hit by a truck. Everything’s shaking, vibrating internally. My brain feels inflamed, it’s like you’ve got a concussion.” Rhi has had #MEcfs for over 20 years.

The CDC made a public awareness ad about #MECFS in 2007. I’m not aware of a similar public health campaign since, despite increasing numbers linked to long Covid and the lack of awareness that exercise can make people worse.

Dr Charles Shepherd (@meassociation.org.uk) explains how in the 80s and 90s psychiatrists claimed #MECFS was due to “deconditioning” and “abnormal illness beliefs”. Graded exercise therapy made many patients worse, with some ending up in wheelchairs. It was only removed from NICE guidance in 2021.

BBC Morning Live addresses complaints after Dr Oscar Duke said that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was “probably the best way to describe” the illness. Feedback from viewers outlines how it trivialises the illness, is just one symptom, and it does not reflect the reality of #MECFS.

6 years on from Covid, BBC Look North highlights the ongoing impact of #LongCovid. Reporter Cathy Minton says it’s personal, her husband Tom hasn’t improved in a year. He still can’t care for his toddler or go for walks. @franhaddock.bsky.social says new people continue to get long Covid.

Emma Shorter was told people who don’t recover from behavioral treatment for #MECFS have made the illness their personality. She was told not to meet other patients and to trust the therapist over her own body. She went from walking 4 mins a day to needing a wheelchair.

Natasha Devon raising concerns about Simon Wessely being involved in the government’s mental health review. Wessely has “already said that he thinks that mental illness is overdiagnosed. So he's not coming from a place of impartiality”. 25 April 2026.

Fascinating

UK at UN: War could end the moment Russia stops its invasion. Putin can't achieve his goals by military means. Putin is desperate to convince us all that Russia's victory is inevitable and our support is lost cause. But no one is falling for it. Europe's support is here to stay.

Operational excellence in healthcare starts with people. Systems can be taught. Compassion cannot. Patient trust, retention, and clinic reputation are built through everyday interactions, and great patient experience becomes the strongest growth strategy. #HealthcareMarketing #MedicalMarketing
