@chronicsheepe @Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 I then respectfully asked about what alternative term to use, when describing autoimmune chronic fatigue, and she was also kind enough to offer me some advice on ME diagnosis

@chronicsheepe @Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 Fair enough. I only just saw your bio. I actually think we’re in agreement. My original post was in response to the OP. In it, I defer to her as the specialist, and acknowledge that PEM is specific to ME, but That was saying that the wider use in rheumatology is misleading.

English

L Ward@Lwardo4·1d

This is incorrect While a hallmark of ME, PEM is not exclusive to ME In medical circles, the conversation around PEM has expanded significantly —especially as we’ve seen it crop up in other chronic conditions, e.g. Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia, Gulf war illness, EDS, POTS and LC

Todd Davenport@sunsopeningband

People miss two important things when it comes to ME, which confuses the picture of Long Covid and other conditions: 1. PEM is best known and characterized as part of ME. It is incorrect to say PEM is inherently part of other diseases. 2. People can and do have multiple things.

@chronicsheepe @Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 autoimmune chronic fatigue. ‘Exercise intolerance’ is a very loaded and ableist term that’s not used with my conditions and, as I understand it, is seen as rather problematic in the treatment of long COVID & ME too, because graduated exercise is so harmful.

@chronicsheepe @Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 No it’s not. It’s completely different from a flare of any of my conditions. I’ve had these diseases my whole life; I know what the difference is. I meet the diagnostic criteria for ME but it’s currently being diagnosed as more general Dysautonomia related to EDS and

@Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 What I have is pretty extreme and I’ve long suspected I may have ME on top of RA and EDS but I’m get told it’s normal 🤔

English

Dr. Jasmine Richards 🧡🤍🩷🧙‍♀️🥄🦓🧟‍♀️🧛‍♀️🇪🇺@jasrichards2·1d

@Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 Thanks for answering so quickly. I understand why it’s so problematic and I’m sure appropriation of the term by different chord who don’t understand ME is exactly what happened 😂.

Dr. Jasmine Richards 🧡🤍🩷🧙‍♀️🥄🦓🧟‍♀️🧛‍♀️🇪🇺@jasrichards2·1d

@Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 instead ? I ask because I have had my specialists use the term PEM to describe this and I then followed his lead in describing it as such.

@Naomi_D_Harvey @Lwardo4 I get what you’re saying and understand the definition but there are autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus in which Chronic Fatigue is a symptom and we experience what I would describe as a PEM like response to exertion. Is there a term that should be used

@Anon61152358473 With a male Dr, any older white man will do. It’s less to do with what the guy knows & more about you ‘belonging’ to someone. A wedding ring on your finger also does wonders for Dr attitude. You are seen as more emotionally stable & less likely to fake illness. It’s messed up.

Is there a kind of person you can hire as a shield to go with you for all medical interactions when you get to the point that you just can't survive additional medical gaslighting of poorly understood illnesses anymore?

@sparkyj2202 @Marklamar20 @BenFurner @DWPgovuk Yep and the waiver is important for UC component benefits, but PIP isn’t means tested, so it doesn’t matter how much you earn or have in savings.

FRIDAY JOY! Asked for last minute support for PIP client going to tribunal after @DWPgovuk gave just 2 points - no award. Appeal panel lovely & gave all the 14 points we asked for. PIP award until 2029, with backdated lump sum of over £7k. Claimant overjoyed! (1 of 2)

Cuts to disability benefits would have been bad enough on its own. But the vilification of disabled ppl to lay the groundwork for cruel cuts to make them more palatable to the wider public was absolutely rancid Disabled ppl's lives reduced to mean rage bait & shock jock fodder.

Christine McClements@Chris_McClem

@castleDD These are desperate times. Disabled ppl and carers have been so let down, attacked on many different fronts with very few ppl speaking up in our defence. Vilification of the disabled community to justify grubby & immoral cuts. I think we could all scream so fair play to you 💜

@AllyMalinenko Me too. No one cared. They were just happy that we were quiet & reading. I’d read all my parents’ King, Andrews, Heinlein, Rice, Wyndham, LoTR, A lot of Anne Rule’s true crime books, Herbert - all the Dune books, and randomly, the complete works of Kafka by the age of 13 😂

@Carm5012 @d_peter17473 @NeilForPoole @TransportForAll , let alone get through the invasive, humiliating and traumatic interview & examination, and the appeals system. It’s not worth the time and effort of scammers. Especially for so meagre an award at the end of it.

@Carm5012 @d_peter17473 @NeilForPoole @TransportForAll In reality, PIP fraud is extremely rare, even by the DWP’s own figures. That’s because it is really difficult to get, even if you are chronically ill & disabled. I honestly don’t know how you would fake the amount of medical evidence you need to even begin the application process

Neil Duncan-Jordan MP@NeilForPoole·11 Mar

Ministers said Motability changes wouldn’t impact disabled people. @TransportForAll has compiled testimony from disabled people that calls this into question. I’ve written to the Government with 70 organisations raising concerns. Ministers must listen to disabled people.
