Is there anywhere stated in the NHS that officially categorises ME as a neurological condition?
Someone very severe is being refused services (they even accessed them before!) as “ME/cfs is not considered to be a neurological condition”. There did used to be a webpage that said it but was removed.

Me: "Excuse me, did I just hear you say you have whooping cough?"

Her: "Yes. The doctor has just prescribed me antibiotics."

Me: "Did he say anything about not mixing until the antibiotics have taken effect?"

Her: "I don't think so."

Me: <cries>

Friend was traveling and wanted to visit - I declined because they don’t take Covid precautions.

They get home & tell me “omg I’m so sick - it’s a good thing we didn’t visit as this would kill you.”

I asked if they considered the other people like me they exposed on travels. 🧵 /1

Ok. Choice made.
This is going to be my primary site for posting...

The bad place will get the assorted highlights because I think it's essential to keep informing people there.

But at the end of every thread I'm going to say that I'm here more.
