Thank you so much for continuing to support us ME people with such clear, strong and compassionate reporting. I have been bedridden for 32 years, my daughter for 39 years. We have had no treatment offered, simply left to rot in our beds. We spent a lot of money on ‘alternative’ approaches, no help

Thanks, George 🙏 For anyone interested, I wrote a thread about how Wessely was wrong about Gulf War Illness, Camelford Poisonings & ill health following 9/11 being psychogenic. He also used harassment as a distraction from criticism during a talk on GWI.

They desperately want to be able to work, to socialise, to experience all the other joys of life. But because the condition is so poorly understood, they have been repeatedly treated as if they were “malingerers” or “hysterics”. Which suits the government just fine.

In the firing line, as ever, are the UK’s hundreds of thousands of ME/CFS patients. As a practitioner once remarked, “the bastards don’t want to get better”. If there is one characteristic all the ME/CFS patients I’ve come across have in common, it is a desperation to get better.

Like the Tories, the Labour government is trying to drive down the number of people who qualify for disability benefits by insisting there has been an epidemic of “overdiagnosis”: a favourite theme of the BBC and the junktanks of Tufton Street. Never mind the science: what outcome do we want?

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long. There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Just as we are beginning to understand the biochemical basis of this horrendous condition, the government appoints the man perhaps most responsible for the mischaracterisation of ME/CFS – Simon Wesseley - to its *overdiagnosis* commission.

As Dr Whitely says in this interview, if there is no job in the NHS, there is no medical training. Without medical training, misdiagnosis and risky mistreatments are how the NHS is transformed into a sick service. Outstanding work from
