#ME sufferer for 28 years. #Fibromyalgia. Mother. Global Citizen. Retired to spain. Hablo español.

#ME is like trying to recover from multiple marathons and knowing you have another one to run today. There comes a time when the body cannot do anymore 😩

This isn’t a bad piece, and I salute the courage of those who allowed their stories to be told. But headlines matter, given that many people never read beyond them. #ME has nothing whatsoever to do with tiredness. It’s pain and suffering on a scale that most cannot comprehend.

Yes, I have three wheelchairs two of them electric. The only one I can use is a manual wheelchair which my husband has to push. Outings for me are a rarity and usually to the doctor or the hospital. 22/24 in bed despite an active questing mind. 33 years of M.E. Now severe.

We are looking at funding for a new study on PEM. Pilot study. Clinical study with Cardiovascular Medicine, Oxford Brookes and Poland will link with other molecular projects studying blood. Fingers crossed. jla.nihr.ac.uk/priority-setti…

Wonderful to see photos of you in your dancing years @AnilvanderZee

Today is international day of dance. Because of ME I can't physically really dance anymore but I'm still moving freely in my head. This is me as a ballet teacher in Cinderella by Stijn Celis. I'm not too sure about the hairdo. My assistant is mighty attractive though!!! 😉

Apologetics for a psychogenic view on #MECFS often dismiss critical voices from patients as a nuisance, as people who should have no say about their own health and accept what “authorities” say—even if the evidence is flawed. They forget the terrible price some voices must pay.

bbc.co.uk/news/business-…. We need to take this seriously, increasing research investment. It is not going to go away or get better. We need to find out why! Chronic conditions like #pwme #covidlong #fibromialgia #MultipleSclerosis #lyme will all play a role.

Ty @sarahftyson ! “most important…change for physiotherapists is rejection of the notion that ME/CFS is caused by deconditioning, ‘dysfunctional illness beliefs’ or ‘exercise avoidance’” + #PwME “should not be offered exercise-based treatments” sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #MEcfs


Have you asked if you can donate blood with #LongCovid ? #PWME cannot. They say there is not much wrong with us, but they won’t accept our blood. Why? #ME

LOL if #LongCOVID isn’t real or serious, why can’t we get life insurance?! 🙄 #hypocrites
