Previously an alien, but really a monkey. MECFS since 2017. ♿️🌈 Science, nature, climate, dogs, politics makes me mad but I just cant help myself. Peace & Love 😍✌️ (definitely not fear). Lucky to live in Bundjalung Country 🇦🇺 (Advocate for Bleats not Skeets)

In this interview, Dr. Jonas Bergquist and Dr. Alain Moreau talk about their main ideas behind #MECFS, including an immune system that is too active in the brain and spinal cord, inherited factors, and how genes are expressed.

As part of our Triple Giving November campaign, we’re pleased to share a video interview with Dr. Ron Davis and Dr. David Systrom.

Together, they discuss how problems with oxygen supply and energy production may underlie #MECFS.

When the Chief Medical Officer urges the narrative to move from "stigma to science" . Thank God for organisations like @emergeaustralia.bsky.social, and for the brave souls who risked weeks/months of PEM to be a voice for us all. #MECFS #PEM
Thank you to everyone who joined, what an incredible day at APH!
Together with parliamentarians, clinicians, researchers & people with lived experience, we took another big step toward real action for people living with #MECFS & #longCOVID.

here i am.
here is my shell.
my spirit comes in waves.
today i am drowning,
high tide,
ripped along the undertow,
abraded by shingle,
tossed every which way,
i know not which is up,
down nor ahead.....

Great study. Confirms my choice to get on oestrogen, instead of just progesterone. Also 5HTP has been a winner for me in terms of 💤. Now just to get in a bit of inulin and F. prausnitzii for my poor ole guts. #MECFS #pwme #MHT

so this clonidine thing is not really working for me. 1st few weeks 👍🏼 Garmin body battery showed daytime recharge (usu. unheard of), hot flushes less frequent, lasting far less, HR down. But now, sleepless nights with nightmares and a hot flush that lasts all fucking night long. #MCAS #MECFS

I don't know if anyone with #MECFS has experienced this, using the #Visible app, but this morning my finger (on the torch) was about to explode with the amount of needle sensations I was feeling. I've already alternated fingers due to the tingling I get from it, but this was insane.

when I first got sick (nearly 8 incredibly long years ago) my MMP9 readings were off the chart. Sadly, no GP really understands what they do and how to bring the reading down. Hopefully this will enlighten us all. #MECFS
A new Journal of Immunology study co-authored by @virusesimmunity.bsky.social (@yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social) distinguishes groups of people with #MECFS based on blood-plasma & cerebrospinal fluid proteins and has implications for causes, symptoms, & treatments. Read our summary:

My barbershop wheelie stool is one of my greatest assets whilst in the throes of #MECFS. When you account for the fact that a pair of legs weighs a whopping 1/3 of your total body weight, it makes sense to stop hauling them around, and sit your arse down as much, and as often, as you can.

Been thinking about peptides for my worsening gut issues, had heard of BPC-157 and came across this. Seems like it helps SO much more than gut issues. Anyone with #MECFS or #LeakyGut can corroborate?

#MECFS
I know I’ve said it before but #MECFS has some strange cause and effects at times.

Read too much?

Congrats! Now you have severe leg pain and are unable to walk 🙃

I would love to see Rob Wust do a study using only cognitive exertion as the trigger.
