Looking to connect with people who have median Arcuate Ligament syndrome MALS who have had surgery. What's your pain benefit? Any relief from other symptoms like nausea? Any effects on your comorbids?

Since the election, I have experienced profound dread, fear, sadness, anger, etc. Yesterday a new and more potent emotional valence set in due to the actions of 10 democratic senators: Hopelessness and despair. This is what happens when you feel no one w/ leverage is fighting for you.

It was 10 years ago today at 5:20am that my life was uprooted. Only 11 minutes into my typical morning run, I collapsed. During the following days and weeks that I tried to keep going, I got sicker. Today, I am still sick. Today is my 10th #MECFS Ill-aversary. 10 years > 20% of my life. #neisvoid

Watching the RFK hearing fills me with more despair than I thought possible. He's a lunatic. Republicans are craven. Democrats are useless. And all of these people know that this is a farce, but they're playing their parts instead of living in reality.

“Constitutional crisis” is too mild a phrase for what’s happening here. I just don’t know what else to call it.

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.

I'm on the late shift covering the impact of these Los Angeles fires, and looking to speak to people who have evacuated so far, and whose homes and businesses have been affected. If that's you or someone you know, send them my way: Lois.beckett@theguardian.com.

If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

Probably against all better judgement, a journal has invited me to write a guest editorial on the topic of Long Covid. What should I cover?

Workwell teams up with STAT Health Our research aims to understand whether cerebral blood flow is reduced during post-exertional malaise (PEM) and if this metric helps explain the worsened orthostatic symptoms many report while in PEM.  Check out our new blog on this exciting collaboration!

Patients often ask about a concise, accurate, and authoritative resource on #MECFS to share with their doctors - this new paper co-authored by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social is a fantastic choice. Well done!
