Bita Nezamdoust - medical sociologist

We start 2026 with this interview in which Bita Nezamdoust reflects on her recent publication, looking at how isolated patients use social media. She reflects on how this may help therapists to understand the experiences of people with severe and very severe ME.

This patient group is often neglected due to the 'non-standard' approaches needed to search them out and listen to them. Using short communications on social media is an ingenious way to amplify some of the voices and needs of these patients.

Bita gave generously of her time in answering my many questions and the article gives an empathetic insight into the lives of people with severe, and very severe, ME.

1) New sociology paper on severe ME/CFS. The authors analyzed 342 messages on Twitter/X to get insights into the daily reality of people with severe ME/CFS. They highlight the feeling of being trapped by the illness, profound isolation and longing for the outside world.

Thank you @tomkindlon.bsky.social for sharing our article. This was such an emotional work to do and I poured every bit of my heart in there for this amazing community of #MECFS. Special thanks to those with #severeME whose experiences we have had the privilege of reflecting.
