🚨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

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.

I've been slowly working my way thru Matt Lazell-Fairman's essay on John Prine and ME/CFS, and have now finished it. #JohnPrine 1/


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
