@VancityReynolds I have had a very rough year health-wise. One of the brightest points have been sharing the Deadpool movies with my older child. They are now a huge fan of you. They made this especially with you in mind. 😄 Happy Halloween! 🎃

See us. Hear us. We’re tired of being ignored. Tired of being misunderstood. Tired of being underfunded. And lord knows: We. Are. Tired. But we still show up. #MillionsMissing #LongCovid #MEAwarenessDay #StillSickStillFighting

Millions have #ME due to #LongCovid. It’s hard to build the energy to do anything, let alone protest that we lack - & urgently need - research & medical education. But we do it. We are the #MillionsMissing - #StillSickStillFighting Thx @meactnet (Poem by Holly Chessman)

PEM: When any exertion - physical, intellectual, sensory, emotional - can cause you to feel worse starting anywhere from directly to up to several days after, and potentially last for days, weeks or months. #StillSickStillFighting

The government's public health crisis may be officially ending, but for millions of #pwME, we are #StillSickStillFighting. ME/CFS affects millions of people across the globe. Millions more with #LongCovid now have ME & are facing these same challenges. igg.me/at/millionsmis…

May 12th is #InternationalMEAwarenessDay. A day of grief for so many. It is time for “a paradigm shift in how these illnesses, that are very complex and chronic, are understood in the broader community and medical community.” ― @Sabrina_Poirier #StillSickStillFighting

In Washington, DC or from our homes, even from our beds, we stand together for #MillionsMissing2023, demanding the research, medical treatment and services that we so desperately need. This is a fight for justice. Join us! #MECFS #LongCovid #Disability #StillSickStillFighting

📢 ME/CFS is regularly misrepresented & downplayed in the media 📢 ANYONE can get #MECFS 📢 ME/CFS is NOT just fatigue 📢 ME/CFS can leave you bedbound & unable to walk or speak 📢 There is no treatment or cure #MillionsMissing #StillSickStillFighting @MEActNet @NIH
