#ME is a debilitating disease. I know my patients struggle in getting support because the research and evidence base data is scanty - but I hope using the NICE -Myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome: diagnosis and management - helps provide guidance of what you are entitled to on... show more

Keep talking about it to every Dr you meet. I’m tired of mentioning what I have to Drs and they either look disinterested, shrug or say they don’t know about it.

Thank you for talking about ME today Dr 💙 keep shouting about it to colleagues please (I regularly meet GPs who know nothing / recommend graded ex therapy which is proven to harm)

I got ill at 21, was diagnosed with ME at 22. I’m 49 now and I’ve never been given any treatment other than painkillers when I was 23. Oh, and one GP printed out a leaflet about the condition to give me when I was asking for help. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also important to say there are lots of us who recover. After 14 years of illness, I did. There are many reasons to have hope 🌈

ME, or Myalgic encephalomyelitis, is linked to your genetics, an early study by Decode ME has suggested. They’ve found eight areas of genetic code in people with ME are ‘significantly different’ to the DNA of people without the disease. The results still need to be reviewed, but the University of Edinburgh research team hope these results will pave the way for future research and the development of drugs.

I hate the term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome because “fatigue doesn’t even come close to describing what it is” and it’s “a minor symptom” compared to the others. Natalie Williams explains why CFS is misleading. #MECFS

Dr. Pierre Kory Reveals His Clinical Findings on Vaccine Injury For the past three and a half years, Dr. Pierre Kory has dedicated his practice to treating patients with vaccine injuries and Long COVID, which he identifies as the country's greatest unmet medical need. He differentiates between acute single-organ vaccine injuries and a broader "Post-Vaccine Injury Syndrome" (Long Vax), which is clinically identical to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The core symptoms are severe fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and cognitive dysfunction. Dr. Kory's clinical data reveals a startling fact: approximately 70% of the patients in his practice who present with these debilitating symptoms became ill within days or weeks of vaccination, not a COVID infection. He emphasizes that these were previously healthy, high-functioning individuals who are now often disabled and housebound. Dr. Kory and his colleagues have worked to mitigate their suffering and restore function, but he urgently calls for government-backed research to properly understand and treat this complex and devastating syndrome.

DR JUDY MIKOVITS CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND XMRV Judy Mikovits, PhD: In 2006, I co-founded and developed the first neuro-immune disease Institute to study the cause and treatments of chronic fatigue syndrome. —- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome became epidemic in the 1980s. Dr. Mikovits discovered that 67% of women affected with CFS carried a mouse virus called XMRV-Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Related Virus that appeared in healthy women only 4% of the time. XMRV is also associated with cancers, like prostate, breast, ovarian, leukemia, and multiple myeloma. Many women with XMRV go on to have children with autism. In 2009, Drs. Mikovits and Ruscetti published their explosive findings in the journal Science. But the question remained: How was XMRV getting into people? — Judy Mikovits, PhD: Then in 2011, our research strongly suggested that it entered the human virome through a contaminated blood supply and Vaccines. — Other researchers connected the first outbreaks of chronic fatigue, with an experimental polio vaccine given to doctors and nurses that resulted in the “1934 Los Angeles County Hospital Epidemic: “Epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis” That vaccine was cultivated on pulverized mouse brains. Vaccines are commonly grown on a parade of animal tissues. Retroviruses from those dead animals can survive in cell lines and permanently contaminate the vaccines. XMRV is so hazardous that the mere presence of mouse tissue in a laboratory can contaminate other tissues in the same room. Dr Mikovits’ studies suggested XMRV is present in the MMR and polio vaccines given to American children and Japanese encephalitis vaccines given to military personnel. The dangers of mouse brain derived vaccines are now widely acknowledged. “… mouse brain derived vaccine has been associated with serious allergic and neurologic adverse events.” —American Academy of Pediatrics 2009 Science Paper (Original): (2020 - Original interview video was removed by Youtube) WHAT IS XMRV AND WHY THE CONTROVERSY?

"Most of the people I've seen with #MECFS are so much sicker than my cancer patients." Dr. Fridbjörn Sigurdsson, a former medical oncologist now focused on ME/CFS, speaking at the 2025 Invest in ME conference. Research indicates that for many, severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) can cause a lower quality of life, greater functional impairment, and more daily disruption than many cancers or multiple sclerosis. Patients with ME/CFS often report being bedbound, experiencing severe pain, and having little to no available treatment or path to remission. Key Findings on ME/CFS Severity: Quality of Life: Studies have shown that people with ME/CFS have lower quality of life scores than those with various cancers, stroke, or heart attacks. Daily Functioning: Approximately 25% of people with ME/CFS are severely affected, often housebound or bedbound. Comparison to Cancer: While cancer treatments are intense, they often have a defined endpoint, whereas ME/CFS is frequently a long-term, disabling, and ongoing condition with limited treatment options. Impact on Life: The illness can be so debilitating that it leads to a total loss of ability to work, socialize, or perform basic daily tasks like washing or eating. Severe Symptoms: In severe cases, patients may require tube feeding and live in darkness due to light and sound sensitivity. While cancer remains a highly fatal disease, the chronic, unpredictable, and unsupported nature of ME/CFS leads to extreme, long-term impairment that some sufferers and experts describe as sometimes feeling "worse" due to the lack of effective, universally available treatments

According to floridafunctionalrn, the following conditions are medical BS for: "We don't know what's wrong with you." IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) Fibromyalgia Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Why is that and what's the solution? I believe it's because... Conventional medicine is great at telling us what is happening. Functional medicine is great at telling us why it's happening. Labels tell us which shit creek we are in. Solutions give us a map and a paddle. Seek functional medicine.

Your fans are the reflection of you. I kept this video as one my evidence when the time is right. Davido in his word: I called my fan base to fuck her IG up. This is enough evidence that all the death threats on my son and my life you told your fan base to do the same! And this is an evidence that you started this toxic attack on people on x.

I don’t know which soon-to-be forgotten Olympic-level athlete needs to hear this today, but it should never bring up “mixed emotions” to represent the United States. Patriotism doesn’t ebb and flow with who’s in the White House or what you think is going on in the country because you listen to what your chosen “news” source programs you to believe. My patriotism didn’t wane when Biden was in the White House, facilitating an illegal and foreign invasion and threatening me if I didn’t take an experimental vaccine for a disease from which I’d already recovered. Hope this helps!

AD fatigue is REAL... I used to LOVE Pinterest but it's almost impossible to use now because of all the pop up ads. It's worse in the political space. You don't know who's getting paid to post what, you don't know if these people really feel this way or if it's just a ploy for engagement . It's all advertising for someone else at the end of the day. I feel like a walk away movement is coming because of Ad fatigue.

Doctors' leaders say the NHS is 'gambling' with patient safety by using staff who are not doctors in frontline roles and without the knowledge of patients. Physician and Anasthesia Associates are healthcare professionals used to support doctors, but they can work unsupervised.

From northern Gaza ✌🇵🇸... It may be the last message or the last post, and we may or may not meet, but we will remain in the north in Gaza City, if only for the last person. Please pray for us to be steadfast... My friends and dear ones.. I am your friend Mo and this is a new update.. First of all, I want to apologize for not responding to everyone. Everyone knows that we in the north are subjected to a hideous massacre, and it is dangerous for me to go to a place from which I can receive an Internet signal... Believe me, when I see your message, this does not mean that I ignore it. This means that the signal is weak and the Internet is slow. But I see your comments and support with love.. I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound examination to check the tumor and blue marks in my abdomen. The doctor was satisfied with my condition and told me that it was just bruises from the surgery... We are still living in terrifying and difficult times.. The army is still waging a military campaign in the north.. and the tanks are about 1.5 km away from me.. I'm wondering for how long? When will this nightmare end? When will we get out of this hell? Death is no longer terrifying... This life is more terrifying... We still struggle every day to get food. They are still besieging us and using starvation as a weapon against us.. Me, the cats, and my family are all fine. The video below is of my daughter Julia helping me take care of the cats.. there is an idea came to my mind to plant a garden in order to get some vegetables. I bought the seeds from the black market for very ridiculous amounts.. and it will take approximately 3 months for the vegetables to mature.. We don't know if we will stay in the north or if we will live to eat from it. But it is worth the risk... because we miss eating fresh vegetables.. I hope you will support me to get through these difficult times We depend on the black market to get food and food is 100 times its basic price. Your support helps me survive.. and I will be very grateful to you for supporting me.. Even if you cannot support me financially, your moral support and retweets help me a lot, and I appreciate that. Thank you for caring about me, my friends.. I love you all 💗

I do not know who the guy is on the podcast with Raj Shamani, but he is absolutely wrong. There seems to be a section of "health influencers" who fearmonger the public on "dangers of whey protein or protein supplementation." Ammonia production is not a side effect of whey protein metabolism, but is a normal metabolic product of any protein metabolism. Ammonia is natural, generated as a by-product of protein ingestion through the breakdown of amino acids. Of the amino acids, glutamate is the one that has maximal free ammonia generation. In normal healthy persons, excessive ammonia generation is handled by the body and it does not affect brain function. This is done via the "urea cycle" in the liver: In patients with liver disease such as acute liver failure or chronic liver failure, the excess ammonia cannot be cleared out by the weak/failing liver or utilized in the muscles (because of muscle loss in liver patients) and affects brain functioning, leading to a condition called hepatic encephalopathy. This does not happen if you are healthy and taking additional protein. In fact, animal meats are more ammonia generating than plant-based or dairy-based protein and in those chronic liver failure patients with recurrent or persistent ammonia related brain dysfunction, the dietary advise is to limit animal meats and include more or switch to dairy+plant-based protein to keep ammonia generation low. Whey protein and scoops of additional whey protein to target protein requirement is perfectly safe and does not affect brain function or make the person slow like what is discussed in this video. Even advanced cirrhosis patients are supplemented with whey based protein formulations to target additional protein requirements and improve quality of life and immune functions Eg: and I hope we develop a law to deport brain dead misinformation peddling sub-standard "health influencers," like this guy in suit.

Today, Chris Packham is testifying at Isleworth Crown Court in support of Cressie, who is currently on trial for climbing on a gantry over the M25. Before entering court today, Chris Packham spoke to the media: “Because of Cressie, and other Just Stop Oil protesters, I sat sweating on the M25. Was I inconvenienced? Well, that’s a relative value. I was late to work, but my house was not burning down. I wasn’t drowning in a flood, displaced by famine, or separated from my family as a climate refugee. I was just sat on the M25, a position that I and millions of others find themselves in every single day of the year. Not because of protesters, but because our traffic system is broken, overloaded or stalled due to a breakdown or tragic accident.” “So I used my ‘inconvenience’ for good… I imagined the motives of the protesters, why they were taking such a physical risk and further risking imprisonment. I imagined how scared they must have been hanging onto a gantry. I also thought about their message and how in a record breaking heat wave – with our government’s Net Zero policy not fit for purpose – they should be commended for sounding a vital alarm. I reconciled that my ‘inconvenience’ was entirely justified.” “I am attending court to support Cressie Gethin because I don’t think she is getting a fair trial. I think, along with the UN, that the UK’s protest laws and sentencing of protesters are unjust, draconian, and in conflict with our basic human rights. I think we are witnesses to disproportionae vindictive witch hunts hell-bent on punishing some of the bravest individuals in society just because they are forced to struggle to tell the truth. These trials are shameful, demeaning, and undemocratic. I set a challenge to the judge, the prosecution, and their witnesses… go home and tell someone you know: a son, daughter, nephew or niece who is under 25 what you have done today and then ask them if they are proud of you’”.
