“Chronic fatigue is not the only symptom. It is one symptom amongst so many others.” Dr Ranj explains what ME/CFS is, why the term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome does not reflect the reality of the illness, and why many patients prefer the term ME.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya says patients with ME/CFS, long COVID, vaccine injury and chronic Lyme are often gaslit and told their symptoms are psychological, making them feel crazy. He’s told NIH staff he wants to invest in finding real answers for these conditions.

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.

Darren Parkinson (@greendarrenshipley.bsky.social) says #LongCovid has “completely devastated” his life. His body feels “poisoned”, the fatigue is 24-7 and overwhelming. He spends most of his time lying down and can only shower once a week.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#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
