"We have engaged a distribution company to ensure leaflets & posters are displayed in 3,000 GP surgeries in the UK. This will mean that we will know material is on display & that as leaflets are used, they can be replaced, & usage monitored"

Not Quite a Ghost 📚 In this middle grade book, the main character simultaneously deals with a spooky presence in her new house, and a confusing new #chronicIllness. The author does a great job portraying some struggles common to #MECFS and #postCovid : the discombobulating nature of symptoms that fluctuate, shifts in friendships when pals don’t believe/judge you, not being believed by doctors, and some very accurate descriptions of #PEM. Plus, the suspense makes it a great audiobook.

Heute mal wieder im Büro gewesen, wo der soziale Druck - ausgesprochen oder unausgesprochen - auf mich immer am stärksten wirkt. Übertreibe ich nicht vielleicht doch mit der Maskenkonsequenz?

Und dann kommt man nach Hause und liest das. 🤯

Some pretty great talks at Day 1, but literally ALL the people giving talks are only active on and most of the discussion happens there?!

I could not go back to that platform for a million moniz, but we do miss out on a lot here.

Switching to Mastodon has been a very isolating experience for me. Almost the entire community is still active on that horrible fascist website. I do find most information here eventually, but second hand.

Whenever i hear about severe cases of ME/CFS or Long COVID, i realize that i probably have a medium or even mild case. But then again, even such a medium or mild case can be so very debilitating. And all this with the sword of damocles hanging over it, that symtoms could always get worse.

No one wants this horrendous illness. Stop the gaslighting!

We need more ME/CFS Biohackathons.

Had just enough energy to listen in on 3 of the 20minute webinars today. https://unitetofight2024.world/program/
Gives a bit of hope for all patients who are suffering from post acute infection diseases. Really love to see the science growing.🙏

It goes on for another 2hours and tomorrow. You can still join. I think presentations will be available later too
(See birdsite for loads of tweets. The LC/MEcfs community is big there)

Wenn ich jemandem erzähle, dass ich den Aufzug nehmen muss, auch wenn‘s nur eine Etage ist, bekomme ich sehr häufig die Antwort: „seit der letzten Corona-Infektion kann ich nach der Arbeit nur noch liegen“, oder „ich bin zwar gesund, aber war seitdem nicht mehr joggen“.

Nur mal so zur Info an die Ärzte, die „sowas ja noch nie gehört haben! Das sind doch nur Faulenzer, die in Frührente wollen.“

Für eine Freundin versandt;

Ihr Lieben, ich hab eine Bitte an euch...

Ich hab doch "damals" an der Studie für und Herzbeteiligung teilgenommen und die haben mir fucking den Arsch gerettet.

Es fehlen Ihnen noch Proband*innen, um die Ergebnisse auswerten zu können.

Finde die Arbeit so wertvoll und es liegt mir sehr am Herzen. (Und ich bin in den 3 Jahren noch nie so gut betreut und aufgeklärt worden und werde auch jetzt noch nachbetreut)

Dexruus,

Könnt ihr mir helfen, die Studie bekannter zu machen? Irgendwie zu verteilen? Es ist mir wirklich eine Herzensangelegenheit...🙈♥️ ihr würdet mir und der Post Covid und Forschung einen riesigen Gefallen tun!♥️

"Research on Long COVID may also shine light on the underlying causes of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS."

After a week of feeling crappy, my ME/CFS wasn’t too bad today. However, I decided to take a nap just to recharge my batteries. When I awoke my dizziness and brain fog was much, much worse. It’s almost like my brain didn’t completely wake up and I’m permanentliy groggy. This ever happen to others of you with #mecfs?
