“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

Gabby Rudge-Cox caught Covid in 2021 and has been diagnosed with #LongCOVID #MECFS #Fibromyalgia and #POTS. Her husband had to give up his job as a policeman after a Covid infection as well ”it has ruined our lives”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

Really good explanation of Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), the hallmark symptom of ME/CFS, and why pacing activities is so important. Clip from German TV science program.

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.

Congratulations to @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social on her new role Minister for Public Health and Prevention. Sharon has been a strong supporter of people with ME/CFS and has spoken in a number of parliamentary debates. Here are some highlights from a debate in 2019.

Released on February 7, 1977, Marquee Moon is the debut studio album by the New York City band Television. While it emerged from the same CBGB scene that birthed the Ramones and Blondie, it famously traded three-chord aggression for intricate, jazz-inflected guitar interplay

Titanfall was released on PC and Xbox One 12 years ago today. Developed by Respawn Entertainment, the sci-fi shooter introduced fast parkour movement and Titan mech combat. A sequel followed in 2016, while a third entry has long been rumored - but as the years pass, it seems increasingly unlikely. 🎮
