The healthcare service and delivery system is crushingly difficult to navigate now. We're seeing entire organizations cancel telehealth visits because of the impending-gov-shutdown-Medicare-telehealth-expiration

Those healthcare orgs aren't willing to accept *any* risk they won't get paid.

Four organization logos appear in a row at the top: Bateman Horne Center, Solve M.E., Open Medicine Foundation, and #MEAction. Below them, bold black text reads: “Together, we’re amplifying Severe ME voices with one united hashtag:” followed by a stylized box containing #UnitedForME.

In honor of #SevereMEDay, we’re launching #UnitedForME, a shared hashtag to amplify stories, art & education from the Severe ME community. Join us in uplifting voices that need to be heard. 💙 #SevereME @openmedf.bsky.social @solveme.bsky.social @meactnet.bsky.social

Clinicians Can Help People With Severe ME/CFS, Even Unseen About a quarter of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome are homebound or bedbound, making medical office visits difficult, if not impossible. Some require tube feeding.

On #SevereMEDay reposting my 2022 article about caring for patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome who are too sick to see a doctor. Some can't eat, and may be misdiagnosed with anorexia. #MECFS is not psychiatric. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Simple graphic with tan background and a simply drawn red heart with the text: Severe ME Day August 8, 2025. #MEAction logo at bottom.

Today is #SevereMEDay - a day we come together to especially take time to honor the 25 percent living with the most severe form of this disease and remember those who have died from ME.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis is a complex chronic disease that presents with symptoms in multiple body systems.

As we come to the end of Severe ME Day, I wish I had some powerful words that could bring you peace, hope, and encouragement.

What I can do is remind you that your words have power. Your stories matter.

I'm so sorry, Larre.

I concur and have been complaining about this for a while, especially every time the NYT refers to him as a "vaccine skeptic." The search for neutral language undermines the truth and gives a false impression. No, he's a vaccine opponent. A vaccine foe. An anti-vaccine advocate. Pick any of these.

E.P.A. Plans to Reconsider a Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos

🧪Numerous studies have linked asbestos as the primary cause of mesothelioma, a lung disease & as a result, in part, linked to heightened mortality rates.

I used to work in an old building in Detroit that had old posters w/ warnings about asbestos exposure.

In just five days, Trump’s administration indicted a Democratic member of Congress for engaging in oversight, threatened to arrest a Democratic governor for governing in accord with his mandate, and handcuffed a Democratic senator for asking a question at a press event. Join tomorrow’s protest!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.
