I am beyond horrified to read this. We live in a world where women are at risk of being systematically bullied out of public life. This is despicable.

Have any #MECFS people had very localised PEM? I massively overworked my left arm (i.e. did some typing 🙄) two weeks ago and it’s still sore and weak. I’m trying to use it less but need it back!! It was part of a crash which I am still in though improving (except for the arm). #NEISvoid

Alas! It is 31 years since the world was deprived of one of its more colourful culinary characters: Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey – better known as double bigamist, child abandoner, amphetamine user, dangerous driver, and celebrity cook Fanny Cradock

Fanny Cradock in a red dress in a TV studio with a spherical Christmas pudding in front of her and two ovens behind. She has a manic look on her face, which I believe is intended to convey triumph at her creation, but makes her look unhinged

Yup - viruses kill but before they kill you you can spend 40years being unable to move, exercise, have children, keep your career, and you can watch your family fall apart. All because you wouldn’t wear a mask? #ME #LongCovid #Lyme #POTS #PEM #LivesWeCannotLive @longcovidsupport.bsky.social

The cartoon series is called - “This Week in Disbelief...

There is an image of a dead woman. Beside her someone on her dropped phone is saying “Hello? “Hello...?

The title says - Viral and post-viral illnesses can kill you

The caption says WEAR A MASK

What intrigues me about this is: what were the songs? Were Hitler Youth / Nazi songs well-known in the UK at that time? Did Farage come from a background that secretly played Hitler music? Were they singing in German? I'm not quibbling or being sarky: I'm genuinely interested.

Small Bomb at Dimperley by @lissakevans.bsky.social is a joy from start to finish. Laugh-out-loud funny and poignant too. TV commissioners, you want this! A 6-part series for fans of Jeeves & Wooster and Foyles War (i.e. everyone). Theme tune: Noel Coward’s The Stately Homes of England. 🎬🏰 📚💙

A creamy yellowy-white moth/butterfly perched on pink mint flowers. If you zoom in you can see its furry head and what I’m guessing is a large eye. Sunny day, blue sky and lots of tall mint in the background.

Thanks to Emily Dugan and the Sunday Times for exposing this aspect of how Maeve died from ME. A Devon County Council cover up. Maeve was taking them to judical review, dying in the attempt. Devon County Council may have learnt nothing from the inquest. I have learnt a lot about them. 1/4

Today is Severe ME Day. A poem imagining a world free of the ableism that compounds the trauma of this dreaded illness. #SevereMEday #pwME #MECFS #SevereME #ableism #bedbound

Like a Fallen Feather

What if the ableism
heaped higher
the sicker we become,
figments of a
poisoned imagination
suffocating our own,
this anchor of shame
not ours to carry,
what if
– for even just this moment –
we released it completely?

What if we could hold
the disabled parts of ourselves
in our own two hands
the way one holds a fallen feather?

Its soft, delicate lightness
born on this wing to rise or
when wounded to rest
in the warm shelter of the nest
as long as need be, dreaming
of the demise of a culture
that wishes, quickens our own,
reborn as a community of care,
where pain is seen and tended,
not hidden and held alone,
where the body is not a tool
but a keeper of wisdom
not meant to die
untold, unheard.

(1/2) Key genetic differences found in people with ME/CFS > Swipe to find out more. These findings reflect the lived experience of thousands of #pwME. Thanks to all our participants & supporters who made this possible! Read a summary of our results: shorturl.at/pgsjk

Graphic 1 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. At the top in bold lettering, it says ‘Main Findings’. Beneath this it says ‘Your genes contribute to your chances of developing ME/CFS. Other key findings are on the following slides.

Graphic 2 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says ‘People with an ME/CFS diagnosis have significant genetic differences in their DNA compared to the general population’. Beneath this is an image of a DNA helix and a magnifying glass.

Graphic 3 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says ‘These lie in many places across the genome, and do not impact just one gene’. Beneath this is an image of a DNA helix and graphs.

Graphic 4 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says ‘Eight genetic signals have been identified. As DNA doesn’t change with ME/CFS onset, these findings reflect causes rather than effects of ME/CFS’. Beneath this is a blue magnifying glass with a DNA helix.

Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified.

Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!”

A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”

It’s the 22 July - for the 25% of us confined to bed, what’s the news on the government’s plan for ME/cfs care?

Title - (which is a quote)
"The government has committed to changing attitudes** and
transforming care for patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome (ME/ CFS)"

There is a cartoon of an exhausted and feverish person collapsed in a chair and next to them on the floor is a cat wearing glasses. The cat is labelled ‘‘Wise Cat’

The exhausted and feverish person is saying
“So... no clinics, no treatments, BUT EVENTUALLY my GP might be less sneering???

Wise Car is saying - “Yeah, that's about right ‹sigh»> Wise Cat”

The quote comes from here - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/boost-in-support-for-patients-with-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-or-me
