2025 edition. It never gets old... #pwme #myalgicE #millionsmissing #millionsmissing #severeME

There's some "disruption" over on twitter about this. My take: 1. I understand why people resort to these protocols 2. I don't doubt some #pwME have responded well. I also know #pwME have had significant setbacks... #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MillionsMissing #GreatestMEdicalScandal

7) As might be expected from post-exertional malaise, exercise programmes are often followed by reports of deterioration. [...] People with ME/CFS will naturally tend do as much as their illness will allow without provoking post-exertional malaise...

I was featured in a news story about my situation with the ongoing class action complaint against the state of Finland. Leena Marjamäki, the person responsible for the complaint, was also interviewed. A big thank you to her for doing the hard work! The story also includes my photographs. 1/2

My room was originally my parents, so it had a lot of stuff that wasn’t mine and still does. We finally got rid of a huge linen closet and replaced it with a bookshelf. My photo books were all just piled up on the sideboard. Now everything has a place and it’s so much nicer to look at! #MECFS

Photo from November 2025. I was able to keep my functioning more stable during the last month, which resulted in more photographs, probably more than any other month this year. #MECFS #pwME #Photography

Sadly, ME and Long Covid have taken another bright light. Megan was creative, spunky, intelligent, kind, and beautiful. In the end, she was barely able to exist because of severe ME and Long Covid. Please don’t let anyone convince you that viruses are harmless #RIPMegan🕊️

This is the first time someone has featured my work and interviewed me! I share my experience living with severe ME while documenting this current life. PCAC (Patient Caregiver Artist Coalition) does a great job with their features! So I’m honoured to be included. #MECFS #pwME #Photography

A friend of mine sent me these lovely flowers. #Photography

A blog about sex & #severeME or a lack thereof: "It is now almost 13 years since I last had sex. It feels unreal that it has been that long. I became ill at 28, right in the prime of my life. I'm 47 now and I feel like I am missing out on the most sexually active years." anilvanderzee.com/fuck-m-e/

Näin opetetaan lääkäreitä kaasuvalottamaan potilaita sairauksista, joiden biologisista mekanismeista on runsaasti näyttöä. Ja "biopsykososiaalisuudesta" (tarkoittaa toiminnallista häiriötä eli psykosomaattista oireilua) taas ei ole mitään uskottavaa tutkimusta. www.laakarilehti.fi/tieteessa/ka...

Saw something the other day asking why we can’t promote women as role models for young men. Such a good point! My main male influence growing up was an appalling role model. My mum and sisters were and are amazing role-models for me, as were many female teachers, academics, colleagues & friends.

Today is Finland’s Independence Day. I usually post my photograph of our flag, but this time I want to talk about something else. Some of you know that I’ve participated in a class-action complaint against the state of Finland. 1/10 #MECFS #pwME #Photography #Finland

ME/CFS made me unemployable, given its impacts. So I started a business, ran it for 10+ years. I Worked flexibly and part time, took time off when had to - many weeks/months. As a result, I have no pension, as I was always in survival mode health-wise and financially within the business.

Photo from a while ago: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam "For the future of our children" (I think). I'd love to know what this scene is about. #Photography

I got a digital letter from the welfare office three minutes ago and my heart rate went up and the adrenaline surge made me shake. I’m pretty sure going through a welfare battle over time has given me a form of PTSD.

“Genetics pioneer Ron Davis says he’s hopeful that revelations from his and other scientists’ research on myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME/CFS, will move treatments beyond trial-and-error solutions that manage symptoms to instead address the root cause.” 👉 ow.ly/igzM50XwzH2.

#pwME #LongCovidME please help Rob Wüst with establishing a clincial definition of #PEM. "= Minimum age of 18 years = Physician-confirmed diagnosis of ME/CFS = Ability to read and answer the questionnaire in German or English = Voluntary consent to participate" www.soscisurvey.de/V-PEM-AQ_eng...

The first feature-length documentary on ME/CFS & #LongCOVID, “What Doesn’t Kill You…” is crowd-funding. I believe video and in particular documentaries can be a powerful way to get messages across & am impressed so far so have donated for a second time www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1rS... #MEcfs 1/

I tried to make a cool reel to promote the coming photo print sale... it didn't land at all! ha! I think maaaybe I used too much Excalibur footage. But come on, you can never have enough Excalibur! (such a shame the lead actor playing Arthur was so crap!) youtube.com/shorts/xZQ5w...

Small explanation : #MECFS is a severe immune damaging disease. Your body is - in severe cases like Niko's - unable to fight off the smallest of disease, and only heals slowly if at all. Alas, while medically researched and therapies existing, MECFS care is unavailable in public health.

I have made myself a website! To showcase my photography portfolio, which so far consists of my most meaningful ongoing project, “Enduring: Life with Severe ME/CFS”. The site also features my short biography. I kept the pages simple. 1/5 nikosuvisto.com #MECFS #pwME #Photography

Gingseng, for ME/CFS or Long Covid I got on well with this in tea form, as it didn't impact sleep iirc. No side effects. Others also report it helps with fog and capacity, a little. Any is welcome. Any experiences to share? Cheers, burp. #Gingseng #MECFS #LongCovid

Found any beneficial teas, for ME/CFS? I find black teas give me a headache. Green is ok, provided I've been maintaining breath holds, or headache. Chamomile to help wind down. Getting bored of mint. Enjoy Tulsi. Found gingseng helps 'liven' but I'm more after neutral/no stimulation.

In what order should I watch Dario Argento's fillums? Susperia set a high bar. The Phenonemen cemented it. Tenebrae arrives shortly. I can't afford to buy them all, so have to pick the best ones and the best route through. Ta. xx

I am so grateful for the honesty and vulnerability of #pwME who share their personal stories. It gives others the courage to speak and reminds us that we are not alone in this reduced and often painful experience of life. #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MillionsMissing

I recommend everyone to read this online Exhibition @nikosuvisto.bsky.social has made. Both text and photographs. If you have ME yourself, you’ll probably know exactly what he’s talking about. If you don’t, maybe you’ll get more of an understanding for ME-patients.
