EMEA Press Release Severe ME - European ME Alliance's practical and achievable proposal for taking action for this Human and Economic Crisis that Europe Can No Longer Ignore www.europeanmealliance.org/documents/eu... #mecfs #SevereME #research

ME must be explicitly included in UN & WHO global NCD strategies Recognition is first step toward accountability & action European ME Alliance is pressing for change-because people with #MECFS should not wait any longer www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q32025-... #UNHLM4 #DisabilityRights #EUHealth

ME affects an estimated 240 million people worldwide In Europe, the average wait for diagnosis is 7 years -Delays and disbelief worsen disability. -This is not just a health issue—it is a human rights issue www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q32025-... #MECFS #UNHLM4 #DisabilityRights

As UN prepares its Political Declaration for 4th High-Level Meeting on NCDs, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) remains invisible @Euromeall challenges this neglect - calling for ME to be recognised in global health strategies www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q32025-... #MECFS #UNHLM4 #DisabilityRights

On #WorldPatientSafetyDay EMEA calls for children’s safety and care Every child deserves to be believed and supported - Patient safety from the start www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q32025-... #ChildHealth #SafetyFirst #mecfs 4/4

This is a patient safety issue. Children with ME need to be believed, supported, & given care adapted to their needs to help avoid more severe disability levels www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q32025-... #WorldPatientSafetyDay #ChildHealth #SafetyFirst #mecfs

Switzerland is putting in place one of Europe’s first national strategies specifically dedicated to improving care and research for ME/CFS and Long Covid www.europeanmealliance.org/news-Q32025-... #mecfs #Longcovid #EuropeanMEalliance

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A vegan or vegetarian diet has well-established health benefits. But it does also increase the risk of deficiency of certain nutrients, in particular vitamin B12 & iron 🌿 If you have periods & follow a plant-based diet take part in our HARVEST study🥬

👋Meet #yEMERG Karen Giménez Orenga is a biotechnologist at UCV (Valencia). Karen studies human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) as potential biomarkers for #MECFS #fibromyalgia and #LongCOVID. She also explores how HERVs in our DNA influence the immune system and may contribute to these conditions🧬

🆕 Taking vitamin D2 might be lowering the body's levels of the more efficient form of vitamin D, vitamin D3, according to new research from @uniofsurrey.bsky.social, @johninnescentre.bsky.social and Quadram Institute. buff.ly/Cu0cfK9
