I'm sure she is ill and certainly not faking but she's simply not "severe" if she's in full-time work. Unless she's being paid to lie in a dark, silent room everyday. You sound like a lovely friend but it looks to me that your instincts were right.
Screenshot of "severe" MECFS definition wrt employment: Total Work Incapacity: Individuals with severe ME/CFS are completely unable to work or maintain any form of regular employment due to debilitating fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM)—the severe worsening of symptoms following minimal physical or mental effort.

Manuel Suter responding to George Monbiot's post regarding the advancement of biological evidence of MECFS and the subsequent medical treatments offered to MECFS patients. Suter embarrassingly suggests a book titled "Unlearn Your Panic: The Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression".

Screenshot of some of the academics who signed a letter opposing punishment of "race realist" Nathan Cofnas. Cofnas was critical - often dishonestly so - in his opinions of Professor Jason Arday which many speculate played a significant role in his Arday's death. The screenshot show that one of the signatories to this letter is psychologist and PACE overseer Micheal Sharpe.

ME/CFS Science (formerly ME/CFS Skeptic) posted in s4me.com on 26 May 2026 that:

"Genetic evidence suggest ME/CFS is more like schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and anxiety/depression rather than MS or Alzheimer's."

That didn't take long. You have established psychologisers agreeing with you already.
Dr Gerald Coakley tweets, "I agree. I don't think it ever made sense because of the poor specificity and it makes even less sense now."

"This is how NIH sabotages ME/CFS research while trying to look like it's doing ME/CFS research. It wastes time. It wastes money. It demonstrates poor ME/CFS research design. You should be calling it out instead of defending it."

State of Minnesota Proclamation: MECFS Day May 12thWHEREAS: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or ME/CFS, is a
devastating multi-system disease that causes dysfunction of the neurological, immune, endocrine, and energy
metabolism systems; and
WHEREAS: This incapacitating disease is characterized by a severe exacerbation of symptoms following any form of
exertion, which is understood to be an inability to properly generate energy within cells, leaving at least 25
percent of patients home or bed-bound; and
WHEREAS: ME/CFS affects an estimated 1.5 million American children and adults of all ages, races, income levels, and
geographic areas, costing our economy $17 - $24 billion annually, including up to 40,000 people living in
Minnesota costing our state economy $288 - $407 million annually; and
WHEREAS: This number is ever-increasing as more people contract ME/CFS in Minnesota, and similar symptoms are being
reported by those experiencing long COVID; and
WHEREAS: People with ME/CFS have a lower quality of life measurements than any other disease tested, including
multiple sclerosis, late-stage AIDS, and chemotherapy cancer treatments, and there is currently no diagnostic
test, no FDA-approved treatment, and no cure; and
WHEREAS: Minnesota has leading universities, hospitals, and medical research centers that may be able to contribute to
finding improved diagnostics, treatments, or a cure for ME/CFS; and
WHEREAS: Studies suggest ME/CFS can be the leading chronic illness leading to extended absences from work and
schools for both students and teachers; and
WHEREAS: On this day, there will be hundreds of global virtual and in-person events to help bring greater awareness of
this debilitating illness and t

I took a screenshot at about 9pm on Wednesday. It was surreal seeing these headlines. Major media outlets all publishing at the same time.
Screenshot of a google search on news articles about MECFS on Wednesday 6 August (two hours after the DecodeME findings announcment). Headlines: The Guardian "Scientists find link between genes and MECFS. The Telegraph: ME is a real illness, genetic study finds. Financial Times: Chronic fatigue patients have different genes, study finds. The Times: Breakthrough genertic study offers treatment hope for ME patients. Channel 4: ME linked to your genetics - early study indicates. New Scientist: Key genetic differences found in people with CFS.

I'd be totally fine with that but I can't access DMs due to a recent law change here in the UK. Are you on IG? As I could always connect with you on there.
Screenshot of BSky message: You must complete age assurance in order to access this screen. The laws in your location require you to verify you're an adult before accessing certain features on Bluesky, like adult content and direct messaging.

I believe legal representation has already been secured.
Bsky comment from Sarah Boothby states: "Lawyers already on board Julie - please delete the call"
