"We need to ask why so many patients have been abandoned, why discredited and dangerous treatments continue to be prescribed and why ignorance and neglect still dominate, in the health system and beyond. In other words, there has seldom been a stronger case for a public inquiry." #MECFS #pwME
Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2

Our Severe ME Artists Project 2026 is coming in recognition of #SevereMEday! Full details: https://ow.ly/EeQ950Zehf4

Please note: many people with #SevereME can no longer practice art. Others have been able to find creative ways to continue. We hold space for those grieving. #pwME #artist

This is why my profile picture is important to me. It's not pretty. It's not carefully curated. But it's the first picture I took in many, many years where I looked more or less like me.

I thought I had endless energy. I was wrong.

This is how chronic illness, perimenopause, disability and sobriety forced me to be choosy about how my limited spoons are used.

I wrote “…my ME/CFS…”. Was going to spell out myalgicencephalitis and forgot to delete the ‘my’ when using abbreviations. ME/Long Covid are devastating. Check Open Medicine Foundation and Stanford University et al. Hope on the horizon.
