#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis(M.E) sufferer. I had a virus & didnt recover. Are questions usually rhetorical? I cannot give blood: https://t.co/tU1sspbOiU













Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary suggesting talc powder containing asbestos was not harmful. The Lancet was informed that the author had undisclosed competing interests and breached publication ethics. /4

Powerful clip @johnthejack on the BPS model for #MECFS It meant he was “an unreliable witness” to his own body, he could get better if he just changed his thinking and his behaviour. People viewed him differently and the responsibility to recover was put onto him.



Clip: Dr @binitakane explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.


Dr @BinitaKane explains how a theory that #MECFS is caused by deconditioning and a fear of exercise permeated medicine and framed the illness as psychological. This led to the patients being neglected, gaslit, and some would say abused. Causing huge trauma for the community.
