This is from posting pretty much solely on #MECFS , #LongCovid and related conditions and to a lesser extent chronic illness in general, which shows it is possible to build up followings on them, in case people either gave up on them or never tried.
I constantly see things like ''if you're not going to protests for this issue, you're part of the problem'' or ''don't call yourself an ally if you don't do XYZ''.

#FollowFriday I recommend @IrishMECFSAssociation if you are interested in studies and #research about #LongCovid#MECFS etc. They provide international informations.

BBC: #LongCovid course is 'exploiting people', says ex-GB rower
Former Team GB rower Oonagh Cousins was offered a free course of the contested
alternative treatment "Lightning Process" (LP) for her long Covid. She says: "They were trying to suggest that I could think my way out of the symptoms, basically".
