  1. Re #MaeveInquest :

    I should have anticipated that all involved would have mentioned how they had since done various courses etc. in order to raise their awareness, knowledge & expertise of #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS. If they did, I missed mention… 😡

    Not a recommendation because I have not tried it. However there is a subscription-service that apparently 80,000 folk with #ELCI s such as #pwME & #FMS use.

  3. May has been #InternationalMEAwarenessMonth #MEAwarenessMonth, but, alas, I have not been well enough to post nor share much this year. Here is a #poem from a decade ago. Matters have ameliorated slightly in that time, in that awareness has been raised and the issues are within the sights of politicos across the Globe due to #LongCovid.

  4. Just finished sorting through the last of the stuff removed from my bed-cell one year ago in order to deep-cleanse my room.

    And thus a reminder it’s time to re-do! 😂

    “Isolation is a way of life in the wastelands. You are too exhausted to go anywhere, to do anything, to meet anyone. The possibility of holding down a job is consigned to history. Travel is a privilege which others enjoy.”

  8. Virtual Health. From last year. When you heard the Consultant can help and you need the letter, so you pay for their expertise. But it's another person passing your care back to you. Having barely survived the video consult.

    “Be Curious & Put On Your Research Hat

    It can be incredibly exhausting both physically and emotionally to explain all that is happening with me. While I appreciate you asking to better understand, it can be insightful to do your own research. Spend time looking at scientific journals, join a support group with me, watch YouTube videos, etc. This will help me conserve my spoons and bring a greater understanding into my experience”

    “I want to work out, be in shape, eat all the right things, climb mountains, be able to drive, sit in the sun, listen to music without earplugs. I want all the normal life things.

    It is incredibly frustrating to be trapped in a body that will not give me the energy or health to do so. Please don’t call me lazy.”

    “I Am Not Lazy

    I want to be able to do all the things I once did. I want to help with chores, errands, cook, wash my hair, run around with our children”

    "Biopsychosocial Model Or Bio-Political Ideology?
    Medically unexplained symptoms, welfare reform and the implications for Long-COVID"

    Dec 1
    Many realise that
    🔸the biopsychosocial model lacks empirical support
    🔸its application to people with ME/CFS is without foundation
    🔸its misuse has damaged the lives of many
