  1. “International #MECFS Day has been on Florence Nightingale's birthday since the early 1990s. Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern Western nursing, was bedridden for decades after contracting Crimean fever, suffering from post-infectious symptoms similar to those of ME/CFS, yet she continued to do much good from her bed.”

  2. "The World Health Organization (WHO) classified ME/CFS as a neurological disease 57 years ago, yet patients and their families must continue to fight for recognition, care, and research—sometimes from their beds.

    For something that should actually be a given:
    that seriously ill people receive adequate medical and social care."

  4. Für viele schwer an ME/CFS erkrankte Menschen ist ein Arztbesuch schlicht unmöglich. Sie sind zu krank, um das Haus zu verlassen, und Hausbesuche werden ihnen meist verweigert. Die Lost Voices Stiftung hat eine Lösung: eine virtuelle Sprechstunde, die speziell auf die Bedürfnisse dieser Patient:innen zugeschnitten ist.

    Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass “eine Klinik derzeit kein geeigneter Ort für Menschen ist, die an #mecfs leiden."

  5. On 12.05.2024 it was #MECFSAwarenessDay
    A most horrific disease with no treatment available and still severely underfunded in terms of recognition and research

    In support of a good friend slowly dying from it and all the others suffering unseen, decided to join in with an art-statement in my finest pyjamas in front of #semperoper in #dresden
