It's a bit awkward fundraising for myself 😅 but I'm struggling with an energy limiting chronic illness, and a burning need to do more #climate activism (cos it's looking real serious)
I'd love it if you could donate or share 🙏❤️ to help me with living/medical costs & trialling treatments #MEcfs #pwME

The majority of Long COVID research investigating exercise benefits completely ignores post-exertional malaise (PEM) - one of the core symptoms of #LongCOVID.
An analysis by @thesicktimes.org showed that less than 20% of Long COVID trials involving exercise even mention PEM.

Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome
Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome
Large study suggests people’s genetics could ‘tip the balance’ on whether they would develop the illness
Scientists have found the first robust evidence that people’s genes affect their chances of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a mysterious and debilitating illness that has been neglected and dismissed for decades by many in the medical community.
Early findings from the world’s largest study into the genetics of the condition pinpointed eight regions of the human genome that were substantially different in people with an ME/CFS diagnosis compared to those without the illness. Continue reading...
