The most severely affected are too sick to appear on camera - way too much exertion. They live in the shadows, in dark rooms with closed doors & are the least able to advocate for themselves. They really need strong allies campaigning for research, better care & treatment. #SevereME
Severe ME Day – 8th August – is dedicated to raising awareness about severe ME and remembering those who have lost their lives to this disease. Estimates suggest that around 25% of individuals with ME suffer from the severe form.

💙 Thank you to Dr Kane for highlighting this deeply problematic mandatory training for FII.
This broad model is embedded within healthcare yet is NOT backed by evidence.
Capturing highly vulnerable families whom the medical system is failing.
It is discriminatory & damaging. We need change.

I did my safeguarding level 3 mandatory training this week on FII (Fabricated or induced illness - seen as a form of child abuse) and PP (perplexing presentations) i.e. symptoms that don’t make sense to paediatricians.
Look at the symptoms that these ‘abusive’ parents may report.

Further evidence of more neglect, delay, broken promises, dismissal, inaction, lack of transparency / candour. People with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis have had decades of this already. Some have died waiting for change. #whereistheplan #Fundtheplan #brokenpromise
It’s 30 June….the ME Delivery Plan is a no-show. It’s unacceptable.
#pwME have been left in darkness for too long. I’m with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social:
‘The government must think again, publish the plan without delay, and allocate it the resources it needs to make a real difference.’

We are fortunate to have a Doctor who understands the problems, sees the need for change and can communicate so well.
Also some strong new thinking for #pwME.

Highlights from Prof Chris Ponting’s presentation to the joint APPG on ME & Long Covid: He made clear that graded exercise is harmful, and warned that despite rising numbers, there’s still no research strategy, no effective treatments, and almost no funding. #MECFS #LongCovid
