A group of #severeME patients are trying to save Daryna, a young woman from #Ukraine with severe #MECFS, from the bombs & negligence. We want to take her as #refugee to #Germany. We find no help from anyone, including associations & NGO. Would you volunteer to help? Contact me. #pwME

The next #ME/CFSHacks #ME/CFS (mild/moderate) test I'm going to do is electrolytes again. Didn't give a good try before. Half at night, other half first thing after getting up. Purpose? To see if I wake up easier and feel less like a zombie the first 2 hrs. Right now, it is so hard to wake up.

Vaccines are not enough to prevent long covid and most aren’t up to date with current strains. Our government are not following the science on layered mitigations because it’s not popular opinion. This is why we have millions with long covid. Zero decent public health messaging.
