If you have vision problems and are in #Canada, Fighting Blindness Canada is having a series of in-person Coffee Connections across the country. Each will have an eye doctor who will lead discussions and answer questions about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or an inherited retinal disease (IRD). It also gives you a chance to meet others with the same eye conditions.
Here are details so you can see if there is one coming up in your area.#health #medical #vision #ophthalmology #medmastodon

@neil Haha reminds me of that time in 2007 when the NHS Medical Training Application Service, the entity with the monopoly on doctors applying for specialty training jobs, openly published online personal details, including telephone numbers and sexual orientation, of applicants. I'm given to understand that the firm to whom the job had been contracted was er... rewarded with more government contracts.
Which is to say, even an account with a second party has a significant possibility of getting contracted out to a third party. Argh!

Hello 👋
Welcome to the new Mastodon account for the Science for ME forum. Migration to the new server appears to have succeeded and most followers have been transferred.
Our forum is an independent, patient-led, international forum for people with ME/CFS or Long Covid and the carers, clinicians, scientists and advocates who support us.
Anyone can read the public posts on the forum but to join the discussion you must become a forum member.
You can learn more about our forum here:
https://www.s4me.info/threads/welcome.38181/
If you have any questions, just ask! 😁
But please note that this account is run by volunteers who have ME/CFS so replies may be delayed.

Message for our followers:
This Mastodon account will migrate to a new server tomorrow (Saturday). We're making this change because the med-mastodon.com server is expected to shut down by the end of the month.
https://mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/116156385290604411
The migration process should automatically transfer all of our followers to the new account. But in case of errors our new account can be found here:

Thanks! ❤️

In case it was missed in the post above, this is my updated article:
👉 https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/04/01/anna-severe-me-cfs/
My doctor predicts I will die if I don’t leave soon.
I need a solid, safe, home I can go to and recover to at least a stable baseline. It’s not full recovery, but it’s better than a slow death.
Help please 🙏

📢 New research alert!
📝 Our study in #Thrombosis and #Haemostasis explores anticoagulant use in life-limiting diseases
➡️ most patients continued therapy until end-of-life with comparable risks of bleeding or clots after stopping.
