It's all tied together
Preserving what's left of the animal kingdom.
Mitigating the climate crisis
Eliminating fossil fuels
Saving ourselves

We might as well start thinking of them all as one, instead of pretending they're separate issues.

This could be our finest hour

The German Association for #MECFS now offers 32 professional photos for the use in media articles, which adequately depict the reality of people living with ME. #PwME
Often, photos used in articles about ME/CFS do not show the heavy burden of the disease https://www.mecfs.de/stockphotos/

"The disinformation campaign has tried to make it seem as if, in protecting ourselves from COVID-19, we somehow lowered our resistance to flu. This is 100% not true. In fact, the opposite is true. It was ending the steps being taken against COVID-19 that has created conditions for a bad flu season."

Don't forget to check out #StandingStoneSunday folks...

... and remember adding caption text to your image and capitalising each word in your # means a lot more people can appreciate your toots!! Thank you 😊

And from us, here's the stone circle that shows up more in our Facebook group than any other - Castlerigg in Cumbria (in the mist!)

It's a world worth saving

@AltYelloNatPark I adore otters - great pics! 😍

@AltYelloNatPark Beautiful!

Looks like the NIH has set up a new website so that people in the US can finally report home test results: https://makemytestcount.org/

Hopefully these results will be made public soon, and are factored into policymaking, as current data may be undercounting by as much as 20x.

@AltYelloNatPark Good Morning! 🐻 💕

What is the impact of #covid on #PwME in the post-Omicron, post-vaccine era?

Please boost vigorously!

I'll try to put a poll on the bird site as well - please don't respond to both.

@mecfs

If you had #mecfs pre-pandemic, and got #covid after Dec 2021, did it result in a significant functional reduction that:

@AltYelloNatPark You should migrate your account to another server - yours is a small server that is "An antifa mostly-italian speaking mastodon instance based in Bologna"

Read:
https://www.cmswire.com/digital-experience/how-to-pick-a-mastodon-server/

Might fit better:
ecoevo.social/about

Or one of the bigger ones:
mastodon.social
mastodon.online
mstdn.social

Keep in mind that most are glitching a bit now because of the mass exodus from the birdsite. Servers are overloaded.
They are doing their best.

ABCNewsLive did a phenomenal 11 minute piece on #LongCovid featuring the COVID-19 Longhauler Advocacy Project's very own Dir of Education, Netia McCray, and Founder, Karyn Bishof! They discuss life before the pandemic and how dramatically it's changed living with #LongCovid. 1/2

Please boost to help educate anyone who still thinks ME/CFS means "tired all the time" Thanks❤️

We need “Forgotten Diseases” Clinics -

Seriously I’ve been thinking about the massive Venn-diagram overlap of this group of diseases that have such an ill characterized set of definitions, diagnostic testing, therapeutic trials.

Patients tell us…
📍“We feel left behind by,” say 1,000s of Long COVID pts
📍Sadly, #MECFS, #LongLyme, fibromyalgia & #PICS patients tell us they hoped to “ride the coattails” of #LongCOVID
📍People say, “Get on w your life.”

They say, “What life?”

@WesElyMD Thank you!
Yes, we do! Both for patients to attend for care and clinics for doctors to be brought up to speed.

I'm a #pwME also dx w/ #fibromyalgia #POTS #LongLyme etc etc
Like thousands of my fellow patients I have no doc familiar with these. I have to guide my own care and hope my PCP agrees - while 90% bedbound and thru brain fog.

Somebody needs to send the International Consensus Criteria for #MECFS practitioner primer to every PCP in the US.

This is an excellent piece on #MECFS and the realities of the suffering millions…

“Up to one-fifth of coronavirus infections result in long COVID, the CDC says. And roughly 10% of people sickened by a variety of other infections — mainly viruses such as Epstein-Barr or herpes virus 6 — develop ME/CFS, says the nonprofit #MEAction, which estimates that 1 in 4 of those patients is homebound or bedridden, like Dafoe.”
