Even as recently as the period from 2018 to 2023, only 11% of studies of ME/CFS required participants to have PEM.

So we have almost no funding, and what little we do have is wasted studying people who may not even have ME/CFS. No words.

Lovely to see that my new study with Jing Liu was included among the top 2024 ME publications (out of 300 studies) considered to "provide valuable data that bring us closer to understanding the illness."

This is deeply shocking and disturbing, the opposite of scientific good practice. As I see it, a group of diehards promoting a discredited treatment (exercise "therapy" for ME/CFS patients) are seeking to stifle medical progress - to protect their reputations. And Cochrane has kowtowed to them. 🧵

Sleipe AP som lover fastpris på 40øre/kWh bare timer etter SP gikk ut av regjering, som var nettopp pga. uenighet om hvordan våre strømressurser skal forvaltes.
Hvorfor tok det AP tre og et halvt år å komme til den avgjørelsen?
Og; hvorfor holdes løftet som gissel til etter det kommende valget?

Mind-Body ReprogrammeringsTerapi er misledende Mind-Body ReprogrammeringsTerapi (MBRT) er en psykologisk modell forkledd som helhetlig behandling.

Dette skal altså prakkes på ME- og long covid-pasienter:

All-Cause Mortality in Norway – Richard Aubrey White Examining all-cause mortality in Norway using publically available mortality data from SSB.

En pressemelding fra Folkehelseinstituttet melder om dødelighet tilbake til nivået før pandemien. Men stemmer dette?

- The Norwegian Institute of Public Health’s positive press release seems to be based primarily upon a shift in the baseline, rather than a true reduction in mortality. This is concerning, as it may lead to a false sense of security.

Remember when Kennedy promised to study long COVID during his Senate confirmation hearing?

I do.

This is despicable and a betrayal of millions of Americans suffering long COVID—especially as we do nothing to prevent infection.

‘You don’t want to get better’: the outdated treatment of ME/CFS patients is a national scandal | George Monbiot The notion that this illness is psychosomatic is having devastating effects, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Thank you @helenpidd.bsky.social for talking about #LongCovid and how many meet the criteria for #MECFS. George Monbiot called the treatment of #MECFS the 'greatest medical scandal of the 21st century', it would be great if you could interview him for an episode of Today in Focus.

Selv frykter jeg en Frp/Høyre regjering som raserer offentlig helsetjeneste, gjeninnfører karensår så alle som blir alvorlig syke må gå uten inntekt helt år, og generelt gjør alt de kan for å tyne, piske og skamlegge kronisk syke og funksjonshemmede.

Å møte opp på store arrangementer som synlig funksjonshemmet er en kalddusj. Folk behandler meg ikke på noen måte som likeverdig. De fleste snakker ned til meg eller unngår blikkontakt. Andre politikere bruker meg kansje som ‘prop’ for en selfie, så går de videre.
Da passer dette skiltet bra…
