#LongCovid protesters in France bring much-needed ACT-UP energy to the campaign for funds to be focused on biomedical research and not pseudoscience that claims #LC is psychosomatic! Bravo! youtu.be/WK0T6njZ67Q?...

It is heartening to know that we have an ally in this role who understands the decades of neglect faced by the #ME community. I sincerely hope you can meet with @tessamunt.bsky.social very soon and that we will see a step change in government actions on #ME and Long Covid. #ThereForME

A very important article. Many people are aware that medical care for the physical symptoms of Long Covid is lacking. It is less well understood that people who have Long Covid and mental health needs are also often ill served by the therapists they approach. #LongCovid

Brain retraining has done nothing for this woman‘s ME/CFS. How she could come to the conclusion that brain retraining is not nonsense, I don’t even understand from that article. What does she think it has done for her relapsing and remitting condition?? #ME www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I find it appalling you would write such a piece and not even once mention that there are people currently being starved by the NHS, 5 years after Maeve died for those exact same reasons, and despite a coroners prevention of future deaths report demanding urgent action & safe hospital beds for us.

I find it fascinating how constant the flow of these articles is. It's interesting to note that they never make reference to people with severe ME or LC, such as the 21yo man in Austria who recently underwent assissted suicide due to unbearable symptoms.

Pretty sure this was an #Oatly advert I saw in the Tube in London in November 2018... As someone who breastfed two humans I found it obnoxious even then. Fine with me if they get chucked out the dairy aisle in supermarkets.

#ME/CFS and Long Covid. They can then apply this knowledge to any treatment plan. For example, we know there is an energy production dysfunction in this patient group: any treatment needs to take this into account.” Natalie Hilliard @chronicliving123.bsky.social @physiosforme.bsky.social

How does working with patients who have Long Covid or M.E. differ from working with other patients? “Fundamentally, the usual ‘reconditioning’ model of Physiotherapy does not work for this patient group. It is therefore imperative that Physiotherapists understand the evolving pathophysiology of

Every complaint I had against Chomsky concerned the same problem: the way he excused or dismissed atrocities committed by his team: ie regimes and forces opposed to Western hegemonic power. As his friend, Epstein was given the same pass. In other words, it's not an anomaly. It's the same story.

@tessamunt.bsky.social @joplatt.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social I'm sure you're all aware of this case of yet another #pwME being seriously harmed while under @england.nhs.uk care. It also makes it very clear that there are very serious problems with BACME being involved in care of #pwME

Vielleicht sollte ich das klarer formulieren: Das #biopsychosoziale Modell ist kein wissenschaftliches Modell. Es versäumt es nicht nur, die Konzepte richtig zu definieren, sondern unterscheidet auch nicht zwischen kausalen, korrelativen und falschen Korrelationsbeziehungen. 1/4

Just dealing with an ME enquiry: a lot of people understandably want to know what they can do to help improve their health. But people also need to try to avoid making themselves worse. Pretty obvious for long-term patients, but can be an awkward topic to bring up. #MEcfs #PwME #CFS

This is why pwME get so upset when newcomers to the field don’t engage existing experts. We have lost so, so much time, and critical information, to people who refuse to build on existing knowledge.
