John Prine’s death felt like a kick in the stomach. It took me a year, but I finally finished an essay about what makes his music so special and how it helped me learn to be sick #mecfs #meawarenesshour bit.ly/3fRX0EG

I teach the fraudulent PACE trial as how not to conduct research in my research methods course. My students ask how this demonstrated slop got into and stays in a prestigious journal. Maybe someday I’ll have @TheLancet editors in as guest speakers to tell my students themselves.

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

Interestingly enough, the equivalence between ME and PEM is far from “demonstrably false.” There is no case definition of any other disease that requires PEM. None. Absolutely none. Rather, ME requires PEM by any contemporary case definition of the past 20 years. The end.

🚨A pwME in Poland (not a minor) has been sectioned at parents’ urging. Their friend is working to help get them out and could use recs for Polish lawyers knowledgeable in these spaces or help from other PwME from Poland. If you can help, I’ll connect. #MECFS #LongCovid

The argument for ignoring ME to artificially separate Long Covid and ME should now be identified for what it is: a political argument and not a scientific claim.

Nothing has degraded the quality of Long Covid research more than ignoring the existence of ME in study design.

Looking for 1 person w long covid willing to travel to MIT before April to be the final participant in @ImmunoFever 's MAESTRO study. Will you be the person who unlocks our access to the studies treasure trove of information? If so, 🙏
Matt Lazell-Fairman@mfairma

MIT’s MAESTRO study for Lyme & Long Covid is still recruiting. They need one more patient to finish data collection, specifically a person with Long Covid aged 56-65, who can travel to MIT by early April. #LongCovid talresearchgroup.mit.edu/mitmaestro

1/ I want to explain a bit about our MIT MAESTRO study. 🧵How can we help you get better if we don't know what's making you sick? If we don't currently have a way to identify what's going wrong, and we don't have the right tests, I think we need to MEASURE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

They actually need a MALE with Long Covid aged 56-65. My apologies. Brain fog.

Maybe this is a trifling thing but it’s something I see people constantly not getting right. So *deep breath* here goes nothing. Post-exertional malaise is best understood in the context of ME/CFS. It is required for the diagnosis, and so, we say it is the hallmark of ME/CFS.

If anyone has old #MECFS materials they might need to downsize, I’m still interested in Chronicles (though I don’t know when I’ll be well enough to scan them) and a local university has a small archive from CT ME advocates that they said they would be interested in expanding.
Matt Lazell-Fairman@mfairma

Just added another ~1500 pages to this set of @PlzSolveCFS #CFIDSChronicle. Collection now includes Chronicles from 1988 to 2002 + issues of Solve’s mid-2000s “CFS Research Review.” Thank you @KCSteckel for the materials. 1/2 #MECFS #LongCovid

@mecfsskeptic Honnêtement ce papier est une catastrophe. J'ai lu la critique détaillée sur s4me.info et ils ont totalement raison. Les malades MECFS méritent mieux.
