Remember each individual with MCAS is different and every single one of these doesn’t apply to everyone. For example, some people react very badly to many food triggers, others only have a few food triggers.

Today is PoTS Awareness day - a day aimed at raising awareness about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), an under-recognised and debilitating condition. which many people with ME/CFS have. PoTS is a form of dysautonomia (condition affecting the autonomic nervous system).

Many studies suggest problems with the immune system in ME/CFS. In addition to our recently published factsheet (tinyurl.com/mecfsimmunity), we have now published a simpler overview of how ME/CFS and immune system are associated: tinyurl.com/meimmune

Here's a preview of an amazing documentary coming out this week by @longcovidkids Explaining long covid in kids, with testimonies....this will be a tear jerker, but a gooder. www.facebook.com/share/v/14Kq... Heart wrenching…please share far and wide if you are able…we owe this to our children!

‪@longcovidkids.bsky.social‬ In this video, children and young people with Long Covid share their experiences to help others understand the reality they face every day. Made in collaboration with young people with lived experience. youtu.be/e0U7K54RiSg?...

✨ Did you know Long COVID can impact every part of the body? The Lancet documented 203 symptoms across 10 body systems, and the average patient reported 56 different symptoms across 9 systems.

Dysfunction of natural killer cells (immune cells that can destroy infected cells) has frequently been implicated in ME/CFS. The findings of a recent study exploring gene variants (alleles) further support the role of these immune cells in ME/CFS. www.meresearch.org.uk/natural-kill...

ME/CFS and PEM… No matter how much we think we know what to do I for one can always use such reminders especially in such palatable and concise simple visuals. And more often than not I tend to walk away with a slightly better understanding of MECFS and PEM which is huge in terms of management.

And in most cases, add PEM and the fact that our cells are not regenerating like before....this can snowball very quickly. In my case ,3 weeks straight, has been the longest I wasn't able to move or do anything from CFS and others mentioned above. It's no joke people. #cfs #longcovid #pem #me

🧠 What is Dysautonomia? 🌀 It’s not “just anxiety.” It’s not “in your head.” Dysautonomia is a real neurological disorder that affects how your body regulates things like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature. And for millions, it’s completely life-altering.
