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 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Patient-centered, PEM-informed care isn’t optional… it’s essential. “What struck us most was the consistency with which people with ME/CFS were described as having been dismissed or misheard by systems intended to help them.”
